Chapter 45

Hearing this, Long Xilan was taken aback. This impostor actually knew about the Shen family in Quanzhou, and even knew Xue Ping'an's identity!
She once heard from Xue Ping'an that the only person who knew his identity was Li Huai, so where did he know about this person?
At this moment, Xue Ping'an's face changed drastically when someone told him his former name, and he looked at the other party in surprise.

The 'Mr. Long' smiled heartily, and at the same time put his hand on Xue Ping'an's shoulder, and said excitedly: "It's really Brother Shen! I haven't seen you for nine years, how come you are in the capital?"

Seeing this, King Qu immediately came over and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Long and Ping'an are old friends?"

"Of course! Brother Shen and I have a fateful friendship!" The impostor continued to maintain the excitement of his old friend, Long Xilan sat by the side, his whole face turned into a ball of ice.

Soon, she realized that there was a pair of eyes in another corner of the hall, which had never left her body, and her expression suddenly became calmer. When she looked at Mo Gongyi, the other party had already looked away from her.

At this moment, Long Xilan remembered one thing.

After she escaped from Guanlong Pavilion that night, she accidentally broke into Chunmanlou. Mo Gongyi said that it was Ji Jinhua who sent a message asking him to wait in Chunmanlou!If this is true, that is to say, she will go to Chunmanlou, who knows in advance and can use the name of Ji Jinhua to spread the word to Mo Gongyi, then who is this person?

Thinking back now, her escape route that night was naturally far away from the night patrolling cavalry, and while she was being chased by the cavalry, she would definitely avoid other places with heavy patrols, but there were obviously a lot of people in Huajie that night , there was no guard outside, that's why she fled into Huajie. As for why she chose Chunmanlou, it was entirely because the backyard wall of Chunmanlou was the best to climb, so who would have designed such a road for her, Why did she bump into Mo Gongyi?What is the purpose?
"I haven't seen Mr. Long for many years, it seems that he has changed a lot!" Xue Ping put away the doubts on his face, and said respectfully.

Others knew that he had always been indifferent, so they didn't think it was wrong, and they didn't doubt that Mr. Long was not Mr. Helong. King Qu generously invited him and said: "Since Ping An and Mr. Long are old friends, it is fate to meet here today. Why don't you come here?" Wang is the host, and I invite you all to go to Qingfengju for a small gathering tomorrow."

They didn't refuse, and they didn't say anything afterwards, so Xue Pingan withdrew with an excuse.

After that 'Master Long' watched him leave, he looked back at Long Xilan meaningfully.

"I was so busy talking about other things just now, I forgot the important thing to come here today!"

Long Xilan nodded slightly, covering up the suspicion in her eyes with the little girl's panic. "Then there will be Mr. Laolong!"

Since she has great powers and knows so many things about her, she wants to see what this person is capable of!
"Since Mr. Long is here to solve Jin Hua's problems, Jin Hua knows everything about it. A few days ago, some strange things happened in this mansion!"

She gave a rough account of the hauntings in the mansion, and 'Master Long' listened carefully, then walked up to her with a breeze, looked around her, and asked: "Miss, what personal items are you wearing? Like a jade pendant or a sachet?"

Hearing this question, Long Xilan's heart skipped a beat. The night before, she took the orchid sachet from the girl ghost and put it on her body. This person must have seen that she was stained with ghost spirit, so he asked this question. It seems that the other party is not an ordinary charlatan, but has some skills!

Naturally she didn't dare to show the man the sachet, so she lowered her head and took out something close-fitting from the sleeve of her left hand, and replied, "Only this silk handkerchief is left!"

The other party only took one look, then closed his eyes, and stopped asking.

"Then Miss Lao Ji will take me around this other courtyard!"

Long Xilan immediately took back the silk handkerchief, not knowing whether he believed her words, she got up and responded generously: "Mr. Long, please come with the brocade painting!"

Several people in the hall came out immediately, first turned to the four courtyards of the east chamber, and then she led a few people to the four courtyards of the west chamber.

When passing by Xiyang Lake, 'Mr. Long' stopped and sighed towards the rockery in Liyuan faintly visible to the west: "What a place!"

King Wen agreed: "This other courtyard was built by Emperor Gaozu for his beloved concubine. It is elegant and beautiful, so it is naturally a good place!"

Long Xilan didn't make a sound, but she knew very well that King Wen didn't understand what the good place that 'Mr. Long' was referring to.

At the same time, she went back to look for it, and found that one person was missing from the group, Mo Gongyi.

"Huh—where did Prince Xian go?" Qu Wang also quickly found that he was missing, and hurriedly looked around.

"Master must have been attracted by the beautiful scenery somewhere in the courtyard!" Xian Wangshizi's entourage was a fair eunuch, and he answered like this when he heard the question.

A few people didn't think much, and continued to move forward.

When they reached the west chamber, Long Xilan specially took them to the place where the cook Chunlan was imprisoned, but Chunlan didn't howl loudly as expected.

Long Xilan felt that it shouldn't be, so she continued to take them to the material room in the backyard, and saw two guards coming out carrying a heavy object covered with a white cloth. When she saw this, she suddenly felt bad, and she held up her skirt and swayed quickly. step over. "Guard Yan, what happened?"

Yan Ming came out of the material room with a knife in his hand, and replied solemnly: "The cook is dead!"

Seeing it last night, she was just frightened and crazy. King Xu had allowed her to investigate the matter thoroughly, and she died this morning. How could it be such a coincidence?

Her first impulse was to check the corpse, but there was someone who went there first, and it was the 'Mr. Long' who pretended to be her.

The person quickly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, looked at the corpse seriously, and when he saw Long Xilan approaching, he suggested: "Miss, it's better not to look at it!"

Long Xilan trembled and swallowed her saliva, she was obedient and did not step forward, but said weakly: "The night before yesterday she begged Jin Hua to save her, saying there was a ghost, Jin Hua didn't believe her..." She As he spoke, he took out the real silk handkerchief again, and forcefully squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes. "If I let her out last night, maybe she wouldn't end up in such a pitiful end!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Ping'an and Chen Niang rushed over from the backyard door just after receiving the news.

"How did this happen?" Chen Niang's face turned pale, and she said in pain, "What a crime!"

Xue Pingan was the second to examine Chunlan's body, with a doctor's reverence for the lost life, his expression was as serious as if it had been smeared with ink.Long Xilan waited for him to finish the examination before walking over and asking softly, "Doctor Xue, what happened to Chunlan's body?"

As a medical practitioner, Xue Pingan must have seen many dead people, so ordinary corpses would never change his expression.
