I picked up fragments in Tiantian Film and Television

"When the tower was built, everyone in the palace knew about it. It's impossible that there were no clues left behind." Li Lianhua was a little puzzled.

Yang Yunchun said: "There is indeed no record left in the palace, but I found a sketch of it in the notes of Eunuch Wu who served Emperor Guangqing back then."

As he said this, he took out his notebook.

"This eunuch Wu loves to write poetry, and this picture is sandwiched in it." Yang Yunchun said, "But I don't know if it is the Paradise Tower."

Li Lianhua took the drawing and looked at it. After seeing the pattern of a tower on it, he found some red marks on it. He immediately took out the paper with the symbols from his sleeve.

He then tore open the blueprint handed to him by Yang Yunchun and pieced the red pattern together. It turned out to be exactly the same as the symbol. "Look, the Paradise Tower. The mother ghost is hiding in the disappeared Paradise Tower. The reason why Shan Gudao is looking for the four eunuchs is because these four eunuchs have been to the Paradise Tower."

While they were talking, they suddenly heard some noise outside the door and hurried out.

As soon as I went out, I saw the four eunuchs running out of the house shouting, as if they were afraid of something.

"Ni Tian roars, it comes again."

"There are ghosts and monsters!"

"terrible."

Yang Yunchun walked over and looked at them. "What monster?"

"Ni Tianhou, it appears again." One of the eunuchs pretending to be a craftsman said hurriedly.

"Don't kill me, I didn't say anything."

Ok?
Yang Yunchun looked at him, "What are you talking about? Who wants to kill you?"

The other party fainted from fright before he could even open his mouth.

Li Lianhua, who was standing aside, said, "You guys said that Ni Tianhou is here again. Have you seen this monster before?"

"We used to...we used to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a scolding, followed by Shan Gudao and others who walked out from the side.

Seeing them, Li Lianhua said, "Master Shan really arrived just in time."

"Junior brother, you have tried your best to get nothing out of me. You always do things that are futile."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked someone to take the four eunuchs away from the open space in front of the courtyard.

After they left, Li Lianhua and Yang Yunchun entered the room where the four eunuchs had been.

There was a blood-stained dress hanging inside.

Li Lianhua took a closer look and said, "This dress was worn by the royal family a hundred years ago. Nowadays, no one wears it anymore."

"A hundred years ago?" Yang Yunchun was a little surprised. "Could it really be a ghost?"

"The style is old, but the material is new. There is a fishy smell inside the dress, which should be the smell of animal blood." Li Lianhua said, "It seems that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes."

Yang Yunchun asked, "Is he from Wanshengdao again?"

"What I can't understand is that Wanshengdao recruited these four people just to find the Paradise Tower, so why did he make such a big fuss? Shan Gudao said that I tried my best to get him to tell me something, so I'm afraid he thinks that the bloody clothes and the ferocious beast were my doing. It seems that there is a third person behind the scenes. Who is he and why did he do this?"

Yang Yunchun obviously couldn't answer his doubts.

While they were talking, Shan Gudao returned to the room and slapped the table, cracking it.

"It's Li Lianhua. He deliberately splashed water on Ziqi during the day and killed him with snow salt. Now he has left the bloody clothes. This man is lingering around and is very difficult to deal with." The Wujie Demon Monk said, "Why don't we kill him to avoid ruining the situation."

Shan Gudao suppressed his anger and said, "No, we can't kill him now. He has shown his face in front of the emperor. Killing him now would be like alerting the enemy. He is no longer the Li Xiangyi who commanded the world. Where did he get these priceless snow salt?"

"The mother ghost hasn't been found, but the son ghost is dead. Those four idiots don't even dare to tell us where the entrance was back then. How are we going to find the Paradise Tower?" The Unruly Demon Monk looked anxious.

"We'll use some means to make them speak out tomorrow. We can't wait any longer." Shan Gudao said.

the next day.

The Unruly Monk took four eunuchs with him to search for the entrance to the Paradise Tower in the abandoned garden.

In front of Eunuch Wang and the others, the Undisciplined Demon Monk couldn't speak directly, so he asked in a cold voice: "Why, you haven't found it yet, which position is the best?"

"Well...we'll have to wait and see."

“It still needs to be verified.”

The Unruly Demon Monk spoke up, "Eunuch Wang, in order to prevent evil spirits from causing chaos when the ground is broken, plant these black banners in the octagonal corners of the abandoned palace to suppress the evil spirits."

Eunuch Wang happily took it and said, "That's great. Let's go."

After sending away Eunuch Wang and the others, the Unruly Demon Monk looked at the eunuchs and said, "I was able to capture you and bring you to the capital. I have already figured out your details. If you wait for one more day from now on, I will kill one of your relatives for every day that passes."

"Please spare us. There really is a monster. If you talk nonsense, people will get killed."

"If you tell me, you will die. If you don't tell me, you and your family will die." The Unruly Monk looked at him, "Lu Fang, you have an 80-year-old mother waiting for you in your hometown. Do you want her to die? How do you want her to die? Behead her, drown her in the river, or be dismembered?"

Lu Fang was so scared that he turned around and ran away, "I don't know, I don't know anything."

The Unruly Demon Monk wanted to chase after him, but saw Li Lianhua coming over.

"Ni Tianhou specifically preys on people who steal treasures from the Paradise Tower. Where do you want to escape to?" Li Lianhua looked at Lu Fang.

"I entered the Paradise Tower with others. I am not the main culprit. Don't kill me, don't kill me." Lu Fang begged for mercy hurriedly.

Li Lianhua looked at him, "Where is the Paradise Tower?"

Before Lu Fang could even open his mouth, he was knocked unconscious by the Unruly Demon Monk who came from behind.

The Wuji Demon Monk looked at Li Lianhua and said, "Divine Doctor Li, you really are haunting me."

Eunuch Wang, who had just finished inserting the black flag with his guards, heard the noise and hurried over. Seeing the craftsman fainted on the ground, he was shocked and said, "What on earth happened, Doctor Li, weren't you sick? Why are you here again?"

"I took some medicine for myself and I feel much better now. Thank you, Master, for taking leave for me." Li Lianhua said with a smile.

The Unruly Demon Monk said, "Divine Doctor Li doesn't take care of his own body, but loves to cause trouble for himself."

"For your trouble."

With such a commotion, today's site selection naturally yielded nothing. Returning to her residence, Li Lianhua took a look at the situation in the house, and suddenly heard footsteps. It was Yang Yunchun coming.

He handed a large white banner back to Li Lianhua. Today, he and Li Lianhua had agreed that he would pretend to be Li Lianhua to divert Shan Gudao's attention. "I didn't expect Shan Gudao's martial arts to be so high. If he hadn't restrained himself in the palace this morning, I'm afraid he would have caught up with us. How is it, did you get anything today?"

"Haven't these four people come back yet?" Li Lianhua asked.

Yang Yunchun was a little confused, "Didn't they leave the palace with you?"

"When leaving the palace, the craftsmen had to follow the Ministry of Works to count the names of the people, and they were taken away. It seems that Shan Gudao wanted to hide these four people. Lord Yang, does the Ministry of Works have an exclusive residence in the inner palace?" Li Lianhua asked.

"The inner palace is a royal forbidden area, so how could the Ministry of Works be stationed there? Oh, there is a place called Shanyifang where sundries and wood are stored, but that is not the owner's place." Yang Yunchun frowned.

Li Lianhua said: "These people were planted by the Ministry of Industry and must be hiding in Shanyifang. Shan Gudao should be impatient now. He will try every possible way to find the whereabouts of the Bliss Tower. I must be one step ahead."

Yang Yunchun had no way to deal with this.

Li Lianhua didn't make things difficult for him.

After Yang Yunchun left, he entered the palace again and said to the guards who stopped him at the city gate: "I would like to see the commander of the imperial guards, Dian Qiu."

Hearing his words, Dian Qiu walked out of the city gate and said, "I am Dian Qiu, who are you?"

Li Lianhua showed her the hairpin Zhao Ling gave her.

Seeing the patterns on the hairpin, Dian Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Follow me."

After learning about Li Lianhua's purpose, Dian Qiu did not say much and led him all the way to the city gate. "I can only escort you to the palace, but I cannot guarantee that you can walk around freely in the palace. There are many secret guards in the palace, so be careful."

"Don't worry, even if I was caught, I climbed over the wall by myself. It has nothing to do with General Dian." Li Lianhua said, "Thank you."

Dian Qiu nodded.

Li Lianhua went all the way to Shanyifang.

Standing outside, Li Lianhua easily heard the conversation between the four eunuchs.

"I should have said it long ago. I should have said it the first day I recognized the osmanthus tree. If I had said it then, maybe we would be on our way back now."

"Even if we tell it, will the beast let us go? Don't forget, we saw Xue Kuan being torn into pieces by the monster with our own eyes."

"Don't mention Xue Kuan. He was drunk that year and accidentally discovered the Paradise Tower. He coveted the treasures inside and persuaded us to go with him. But after we moved a few things, we saw him get bitten to death by a monster. At that time, there was a light feather floating behind the monster."

"There was also a voice threatening us not to reveal the secret of the Tower of Bliss. We kept it a secret for so many years, and only then did we stay safe. Look, the monster showed up as soon as we got here. Let's not talk about it."

"Most of the treasures from that year were confiscated by the Imperial City Bureau. Each of us only hid a few and brought them out. We didn't dare to sell them for many years. I only sold one and you were targeted and brought here. How could I be so shameless?"

"Go ahead." A eunuch at the table took a sip of wine. "Although the beast is scary, it only kills us. The Wansheng Dao, on the other hand, can do anything. For the sake of our family's safety, let's give up our worthless lives. It's worth it."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that there was such an osmanthus tree a few feet away from the entrance. Judging from the osmanthus trees we saw these two days, the entrance is probably here."

The eunuch who was speaking drew something on the table with his hand.

At this moment, Li Lianhua saw a light figure floating by and immediately chased after it.

When he arrived, he saw Qingrong hanging on the tree.

Seeing this scene, Li Lianhua discovered that Qingrong was able to fly because he was tied to a blackened kite. No wonder this Qinggong was so strange.

As soon as she thought of this, Li Lianhua suddenly reacted strangely, and heard several screams coming from the direction of Shanyifang.

When he rushed over, he saw that several people had been bitten to death by the beast. Seeing that one of them was still breathing, Li Lianhua hurried over and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"Tell them not to hurt my family. I've already said that the Paradise Tower is here, at..." Before he died, he placed his hand on a lamp.

Before Li Lianhua could understand what he meant, a group of guards broke in. "You all know that my lord has ordered that anyone who trespasses into the inner palace will be executed on the spot. My lord, how should this thief be dealt with?"

When Yang Yunchun was questioned by his subordinates, he was suddenly speechless when he saw that the person was Li Lianhua.

He walked up to Li Lianhua and said, "Master Li, how can I protect you?"

"Master Yang, don't be embarrassed, just do business as usual."

Li Lianhua was arrested.

Prison.

Li Lianhua was hung on a rack.

An official looked at him and said, "Breaking into the inner palace at night is already a serious crime. Why are you struggling? You can get away with some guilt by admitting to murder and leave in peace."

"The methods of the Dali Temple are far inferior to those of the Baichuan Courtyard." Li Lianhua replied.

Just as the official was about to speak, a guard came running over and said, "Sir, Lord Yang Yunchun from the Imperial City Department wants to visit the prison again."

"No, this person is a serious criminal, no one is allowed to visit him." After saying this, he looked at the guards around him and said, "All of you leave."

When there was no one around, he stared at Li Lianhua and said, "Just deny it. It doesn't matter anymore. If the master thinks you are too much trouble, I will send you off right now."

As he spoke, he drew his sword and walked towards Li Lianhua.

When he stabbed at Li Lianhua, Li Lianhua had already unlocked the lock on her hand, dodged calmly, and kicked him to the ground. The guards rushed in after hearing the sound, and just as they were about to take action, a voice shouted loudly: "Stop, the Empress Dowager's order!"

Hearing this, all the guards bowed down.

Fang Duobing, who came with the imperial edict, immediately read out: "There are many suspicious points about Li Lianhua's breaking into the inner palace at night. She may be wronged. I specially order him to assist Baichuanyuan Criminal Detective Fang Duobing to thoroughly investigate the case from now on and make up for his crime. Why don't you leave now?"

After the guards had left, Li Lianhua said to Fang Duobing who had arrived just in time: "Fang Xiaobao, thank you."

"I told you to stay at Tianji Villa to save your life, but you dared to run to the palace. When I arrived in the capital and heard that you were in trouble, I hurried to find Princess Zhaoling and asked her to ask the Queen Mother to persuade her to issue this decree. Do you really think you have nine lives?" Fang Duobing looked dissatisfied, "Where is Shen Haofeng? Why is he not here?"

Li Lianhua was helpless, "He can't enter the palace. Don't be so excited. There are benefits to me coming here. No one will disturb me, so I can sort out my thoughts."

"I don't want to argue with you. It's okay as long as he's fine. I heard that Shan Gudao came to the capital. I'm afraid it's for his mother, right?" Fang Duobing asked.

Li Lianhua nodded, "I have met him several times in the palace."

"I asked Yang Yunchun about the palace affairs. He thought that Shan Gudao was the one who framed you, but I don't think so. Shan Gudao killed the people he brought with him, causing unrest in the palace, which is detrimental to the search for Mu Qi. There must be a third party hiding behind this." Fang Duobing said, "The purpose of his doing this is to stop anyone who wants to find the Jile Tower." (End of this chapter)
