Chapter 20 Ask
Lan Shi resisted the urge to cry. She wanted to hold Mrs. Du Xian on the spot and tell her how her master had died these years. She wanted to tell Mrs. Du Xian that she missed her very much.

She once prayed to Jiang Changying to bring Lady Poison Fairy to her.

Jiang Changying sent people to Crescent Moon Spring, but there was no trace of Lady Poison Fairy, which made Lan Shi think Lady Poison Fairy left Crescent Moon Spring to collect herbs.

Fortunately, she met her master's wife again.

"This insect egg belongs to the Qielan tribe. Even the Qielan tribe regards its use as forbidden. It seems that someone did this deliberately." Lady Poison Fairy's eyes were wandering, as if she was thinking about something.

"Mrs. Poison Fairy about the mask, I will leave it to Lord Painted Skin Ghost to track down the murderer. Please don't disappoint the Pavilion Master." The Fat Lady turned to the others and said, "I will be here at your call for Lord Painted Skin Ghost's orders. "

Jiang Sushang and the others returned to the room. Not long after, Lan Shi walked out of the room and called the captain of the guard.

Hokuriku poured a cup of hot tea for the captain of the guard and placed it in front of him.

The chief guard held the tea respectfully and looked flattered. The guests who came to Qianjin Pavilion were all high-ranking officials. They were just guards who supported the family and the home, no different from dogs.

This was the first time he had encountered this kind of treatment.

He took a sip of tea and felt that the tea was overflowing with fragrance and sweet in the mouth. Compared with the crude tea that their servants drank before, it only felt bitter and tasted like cloud mud.

He couldn't help but complain: Rich people's things are just different.

"In the opinion of He Jun's guards, who is the most likely murderer?" Jiang Sushang asked unhurriedly.

He Jun couldn't help but feel proud when he heard that Jiang Su Shang knew his name. He also felt that this guest was gentle and polite, unlike other guests who had suddenly become rich.

"The villain is ashamed and doesn't know how to solve the case. But the villain can say that the murderer is definitely not from Qianjin Pavilion. The guards and girls have taken poison and it is impossible to risk their lives. Furthermore, serving the guests well, the guards and girls There will be benefits for both of us and we won’t kill anyone.”

He Jun talked eloquently: "Moreover, the eggs cannot be brought in by people from the Qianjin Pavilion. The master of the pavilion will order people to check them every once in a while. Therefore, the eggs can only be brought in by outsiders."

Jiang Sushang said: "You are right."

He Jun couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"How much do you know what these guests want?" Jiang Sushang stepped forward and poured tea for He Jun himself.

He Jun was a little flattered and told Jiang Suchang all the questions.

From He Jun's words, Jiang Sushang understood the characteristics of the other four ghosts.

The other four ghosts were the first to arrive at Qianjin Pavilion. The meals prepared by Qianjin on the first day were standard for palace banquets, and this was discovered by the well-informed fox ghost.

Therefore, He Jun believed that the identity of the fox ghost was undoubtedly that of Murong Xuan, the prince of Anguo, the nephew of the current empress.The fox ghost is well-informed, and beautiful women, gold and silver are commonplace to him. He came to Qianjin Pavilion out of curiosity. His main purpose is to meet the master of Qianjin Pavilion.

But he did not see the master of the Qianjin Pavilion, and even fought with Zi Wu who was beside the master.

"I remember that Mr. Fox Ghost said that he had seen Ziwu's martial arts moves before, and he also said that he knew that the master of the pavilion was from the capital!"

Is the pavilion master from the capital?This surprised Jiang Sushang.

The Jiang family is an imperial merchant, and they don’t have such huge financial and material resources to build a Thousand Gold Pavilion in the desert!
It seems that there is a powerful fish lurking under the water in the capital.

Shangui is a martial arts man with a life on his back. He comes to Qianjin Pavilion to ask the master of Qianjin Pavilion to show him a way out, so that he can clear his identity and start a new life.The best thing is to make him a high official.

As for the water ghost, judging by his accent, he is a wealthy person from the capital. This is his third visit to Qianjin Pavilion. He had previously been guided by the pavilion master and made a lot of money.This time I came for Plum Blossom Girl.The unjust ghost was the richest man in Jincheng, and he had accumulated wealth through the timber business. However, he had a hidden illness and asked for medicine numerous times. He was now sixty years old, and with the attitude of giving it a try, he came to Qianjin Pavilion to seek medicine from the master of the pavilion.

Reggae is a small businessman who also came to see the fun. At the first Sun Palace banquet, he fell in love with the pomegranate girl at first sight and insisted on him.

From what it sounds like, Jiang Sushang believes that these four ghosts have no motive for killing.

Mountain ghosts and fox ghosts are dead. If they are the murderers, they will not take their own lives. There are also ghosts who have been killed unjustly. They are most afraid of death. It is impossible to separate the mask from the face with a knife.

As for the water ghost, he made his fortune from Qianjin Pavilion, so it is unlikely that he would do anything detrimental to Qianjin Pavilion.

"In my opinion, the water ghost is the most likely. He looks down on the fox ghost's arrogance, so he tries to harm others."

"Yes, I understand. Many thanks to Guard He Jun." Jiang Sushang said, "Go and find Reggae."

Everyone was there just now, but Reggae made an excuse to go to the toilet when the Poison Fairy Lady appeared.As a result, the fat lady forgot about him. When the Poison Fairy Lady said that she could only make two copies of the antidote, the fat lady only said that there were two guests who couldn't take off their masks.

In fact, there is still a reggae mask that cannot be taken off.

Everyone gathered in the central hall to investigate the case, but he looked calm and relaxed, not worried about taking off the mask on his face, and not curious about the murderer behind the case.

Compared to water ghosts, reggae made Jiang Sushang more curious.

Reggae walked in holding his stomach and said: "Master Painted Skin Ghost, I had a stomachache, so I went to the toilet. I heard Girl Pomegranate say something about what just happened."

"Then you must know that Lady Poison Fairy's medicine is only enough to make two masks-removing antidote."

"This..." Reggae stood up, "But besides you and me, there are also water ghosts! There are three people whose masks can't be taken off. Oops! What should I do?"

Reggae was extremely anxious. He said, "I have to see the master of the pavilion, sell the pomegranate girl, and then go back to Guazhou County to find the antidote."

"There are only two bottles of the antidote. I didn't expect you to give in like this, Reggae."

"There's nothing you can do about it! I wonder if you have anything else to ask?"

"My doctor girl knows a thing or two, why not let her diagnose and treat you?"

Lan Shi stepped forward, and the reggae waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, it's fine now."

Reggae seemed to be hiding something. He hurriedly left without waiting for Jiang Sushang to speak.

Jiang Sushang's eyes fell on his leaving steps. The old cloth shoes were stained with damp black soil.

I would like to ask, in such a dry place, would there be such soil?

The soil next to Crescent Moon Spring is moist, but not black!

There is indeed something wrong with Reggae. He was not in the middle hall at the time. He must have gone somewhere else.

"He went to the underground tomb." Jiang Sushang thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

While Lady Poison Fairy comes out of the underground tomb, he can go in again without being noticed.

But what was he doing there?
