Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Pagoda of Bliss

and after? Candles were flickering in the empty lotus flower building with auspicious patterns, and only the sound of shaking tables and chairs was heard. Someone gritted his teeth and said: Don't tell me that Feng Qing was possessed by a pig demon, and then took a brick and smashed himself unconscious, and then You picked up the sword back. The other person sat upright with a calm expression on his face, and said calmly: You are so smart With a clack, the pottery fell to the ground and shattered, and the man in front of him was furious: Dead lotus!Don't deceive people too much!Confess quickly!What was the final outcome of the Jiaoyang Village incident?

In the lotus building with auspicious patterns, nothing is always placed on the wooden table, even when drinking, you have to touch the wine glass from under the table. Now there is a piece of soft satin that is more dazzling than gold. The four-season pattern cushion, on the cushion is an ebony wood inlaid with purple gold silk carvings, which is as solemn as a tablet dedicated to the ancestors. On this sandalwood seat is a sword respectfully placed. The black iron color is green and green, and it is as cool and smooth as the wall of a well. It is the former favorite sword of Xiangyi Taijian Li Xiangyi, Li Daxia, Li Yixian, and Li Family Master Shaoshijian.

Li Lianhua stroked her chin and looked at the sword that Fang Duobing made looked like an ancestral tablet: I said that I defeated Feng Qing with a shocking, brilliant, unparalleled, unprecedented sword move. I am so admired that I offer this sword with both hands, you don’t believe it; I say that Feng Qing is so regretful that life is better than death and decides to commit suicide, and then I offer this sword with both hands, you don’t believe it; I say Feng Qing looks like I used it The sword wizard suddenly admired my roots, and personally gave me this sword, you don't believe that He murmured, "Then what do you think about Feng Qing who had a hidden illness and died suddenly before he could do anything?"

Li Lianhua looked at Fang Duoxing with joyful and expectant eyes.However, Fang Duobing felt like a mouse fed a belly full of poop. How could someone lie in this world and happily expect others to agree that what he said was reasonable? Death, lotus, flower!Fang Duoxing took the case, all in all, you just refused to talk about it?It doesn't matter!This matter is not over with you!If you don't tell me, I will always find Bai Qianli, Bai Qianli will always talk, right?Besides, I heard that dozens of people from all over the Wansheng Road were present that day. Do you really think that paper can hold fire?

Li Lianhua said: "That's true." Fang Duobing was so angry that he jumped up: You will be full of fucking nonsense, and one day I will figure out how you got this sword!At that time, I will settle the score with you again!Dead lotus!Li Xiaohua!Li Wangba Fang Sick's cursing was like a passing wind to Li Lianhua. Li Lianhua took something out of her arms and put it gently on the table: Compared with Shaoshijian, I am more curious about this thing now . Fang Sickly's attention was immediately attracted by the thing on the table: what the hell is this? Li Lianhua said: "This is the note that Wang Bashi took out of Feng Xiaoqi's pocket. I guess this thing may not belong to Feng Xiaoqi, maybe it belongs to Qingliangyu."

Fang sickly surprised: Cool and rainy?What's the use? Li Lianhua said seriously: This is a very interesting thing, don't you think? 1. The first piece of paper What Li Lianhua put on the table was not a piece of paper, but a square made of paper. Lines were drawn on the square, as if a corner of the square had been cut off. Fang sickly stares: Is this a note?Where are the words? Li Lianhua tapped on the table: the words are in its stomach. Fang sickly frowned: what is this thing, what is it for? Li Lianhua shook her head: I don't know.He looked at the square thoughtfully. It was originally a cross-shaped piece of paper with a few words written on it, "four among them", or up and down one, or up and down four, or up two and down two, choose whichever is better. One too.

Among the four, choose one of the upper and lower ones, or the upper and lower four, or the upper and lower second and second grades?Fang Sickly frowned even tighter, what the hell was that? Li Lianhua drew several square boxes on the table: If the middle of the white paper is counted as four parts, there are only two parts left on the top and bottom, which is in line with the original meaning of this sentence.It says that this is a thing, there are four parts in the middle, two parts above and below, or four parts in the middle, one above the first part of the four parts in the middle, and one part under the fourth part of the four parts in the middle, Anything that fits its intended purpose is a block.This cross-shaped white paper can be folded into a square by folding the white paper one by one.He spread his hands, and maybe there are other shapes of white paper, which can also be made into exactly the same square.

Fang Duobing stared at the paper square with strange eyes: Even if you can use white paper to make such a square in ten thousand ways, what's the use? Li Lianhua shrank her neck: I don't know, so this is a very interesting thing.After shrinking his neck, he tilted his neck very comfortably, and sat comfortably on the chair. This thing was in Feng Xiaoqi's pocket. At that time, Feng Xiaoqi had just stolen the Shaoshi Sword and wanted to help Qing Liangyu save a person.Feng Xiaoqi and Qing Liangyu were killed by Feng Qing on the way to save others, and the Shaoshi sword was taken away, obviously that person was not saved.I guess this cube is related to the person that Qingliangyu wants to save.

Li Lianhua continued to be serious and said: It must be very interesting to let Qingliang Yugan sneak into the Wansheng Dao for three months with the intention of stealing the Shaoshi sword to save him. Fang sickly pondered: Could it be that this thing is the key to saving lives?Hiding place or something?Or is there some way to crack the mechanism hidden? Li Lianhua hurriedly said: You are really smart Fang Sickness squinted at Li Lianhua: Could it be that you came up with some tricks and didn't tell me? Li Lianhua quickly shook her head again: No, no, this time I think exactly the same as you.

Fang Duobiao scoffed and didn't believe it at all: Do you want to save people for Qingliangyu? Li Lianhua glanced at the Shaoshi sword enshrined as a memorial tablet, and smiled slightly: The Shaoshi sword is not a sharp weapon. If there is anything in the world that can only be cut by the Shaoshi sword, the key should not be the sword itself, but the use of it. man with sword. Fang Duoxing was taken aback: A person with a sword?Do you mean Lee Sang Yi?Li Xiangyi had been dead for so many years, even if Qing Liangyu stole the sword, it would be too late. Li Lianhua said seriously: "What you said is true, but I said that the key lies in people, not that Li Xiangyi is the key.

Fang Duoxing stared: What do you mean? Li Lianhua nodded: Shaoshi's sword is tough and unparalleled, only the sword moves that make the sword extremely strong and unbearable for ordinary long swords, you must use Shaoshi's sword. Fang Duobing continued to stare at the famous sword: Qing Liangyu risked his life to steal this sword, did he send it to a lunatic who used the sword as a mace? Li Lianhua coughed: There are many possibilities, maybe someone asked him to exchange the Shaoshi sword for someone's life; or maybe he thought this sword could break some mechanism: or maybe there is something wonderful about the material of this sword Maybe crush it and eat it to save your life Fang Duoxing couldn't help interrupting him, and screamed: "Eat it?" Li Lianhua said seriously again: Or maybe this sword is a token left by the martial arts seniors in the world, and it can be exchanged for a wish or something Fang Sickly looked at Li Lianhua strangely, Li Lianhua didn't think he was disobedient, and sat calmly. After a while, Fang Sickly murmured: I'm crazy to sit here and listen to your nonsense. My old man's old man forced me to marry the princess. I have a lot of bullshit. I came here because I was crazy. He slapped the table heavily.Forget about Shao Shijian!You don't have to sit here and bother lying to me, I'm gone! Li Lianhua said: He originally wanted to say that the current emperor has only one prince and no children under his knees. Could it be that a new princess has been born recently?In this way, the princess is afraid that she is too young, so this matter is absolutely unacceptable. Li Lianhua hadn't finished speaking, Fang Duo was very unrestrained when he was sick, he really patted his sleeves, and Shi Shiran walked away from the window.Li Lianhua looked at his handsome back, sighed, and murmured, "You don't believe me when I'm serious, but you listen with gusto when I'm talking nonsense." Li Lianhua stood up, originally wanted to take the sword off the tablet, but then thought again, he didn't know where to put it after taking it off, and finally left it on the tablet after sighing. After so many years, perhaps the fate of Shaoshijian is just to stay on the tablet set up for it by all living beings.After all, the person holding the sword had died many years ago. Fang Duoxing left in a fit of anger. He didn't want to be a son-in-law at all. As soon as he got out of the Lotus Tower, he changed his way to Shaolin Temple in Songshan. The monk was hiding in the den, and he might even threaten to become a monk, so he was arrested at the foot of Songshan Mountain and sent to the palace immediately. Fang Eryougui is the young prince of the current dynasty, and Fang Zeshi, Fang's sick old man, is an official minister of the household department. The emperor recently recognized the daughter of Wang Yichuan, the minister of military affairs, as Princess Zhaoling, and intends to betroth Princess Zhaoling to him Family, who dares to delay this good thing bestowed by the emperor?Therefore, Fang Duobing was hit by 28 acupuncture points all over his body by the guards at home. After two days and two nights, Fang Duobing was rushed to Jingde Hall. Fang Duobing has never met Wang Yichuan. Although his father is an official in the court, Fang Zeshi lives in the capital, and Fang Duobing has always lived in the Fang family. After he became an adult, he wandered around the rivers and lakes and rarely returned home. He and his father They are not very familiar, let alone the Minister of the Ministry of War.He didn't know what Wang Yichuan looked like, and he certainly didn't know what Wang Yichuan's daughter looked like. Suddenly wanting to marry such a princess, if the princess is thirty years old, eight feet tall, and waist as big as a barrel, he can't stand it even if she looks like a fairy, so he made up his mind to slip away from the moment he entered the palace. Fang Duobing was sent to the Jingde Hall, which is the temporary residence of officials who made a special trip to the emperor to see him but had no time to summon them. Although the Jingde Hall is not as imposing as the palaces in the imperial palace, it is also graceful. The atmosphere is grand, and the wing rooms where officials are housed are even more exquisitely decorated.There is still a wall between this place and Miyagi, and the people who live here are called by the emperor to meet, but they don't know when they will meet, so they are polite to each other, those who are not familiar pretend to be familiar, and those who are familiar are naturally familiar I am in a state of difficulty. Fang Duobing had twenty-eight acupuncture points all over his body, and he couldn't use his martial arts at all. In Jingde Hall, a place where people come and go, Fang Zeshi couldn't let the guards follow him anymore. After leaving, the implication of course is to ask him to be obedient, the imperial city is important, not to mess around, otherwise the father will be severely punished. Fang Duobing had been obedient for half a day, but seeing that it was late at night, how could he bear it?Immediately, he quietly opened the window from the room and walked into the backyard. There is still some distance from the emperor and the princess. If he can escape from here, he might be able to escape from the capital before Fang Zeshi finds out. After he escapes, whether his father will be condemned by the emperor, he is not bothered at all. to think about.At the second watch, in a solemn place like Jingde Hall, everyone acted cautiously and tremblingly, naturally no one dared to go out the window in the middle of the night. Although Fang Duobing's martial arts were sealed, his movements were still light, and he walked out of the palace without making a sound.The moonlight was clear and bright, reflecting the courtyard indistinctly. Holding his breath, he was confirming where the back door was. There was a soft babble, and there was a slight sound from the wooden bridge not far away.Fang Duoxi fell silently to the ground, lying on the ground among the flowers and looking towards the wooden bridge. A vague figure was crossing the bridge. The flower corridor of the wooden bridge in the courtyard was covered with vines, and the light inside was dim. Fang Duobing could only vaguely see someone on the other side, but he couldn't tell who it was. Maybe it was the Jingde Palace night watchman. guard.He held his breath patiently, and lay motionless among the flowers, vaguely becoming one with the flowers and trees. Yiya Yiya Yiya There was a faint sound slowly coming from the wooden bridge. The guards walked there for a long time but never walked over the bridge. Fang sickly waited for a long time and felt a little strange. No breathing sound.He slowly got up from the flowers, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere that made him feel that he should go to the wooden bridge to take a closer look. The garden was full of flowers and trees, and the night breeze was cool. Fang Duobing suddenly felt that it was too cold. At this time, he had already reached the bridge. Fang Duobing stared at the wooden bridge with wide eyes, but there was no one on the wooden bridge.A rope is hung in the flower gallery, and there is a circle on the rope, and a piece of clothing is hung in the circle.The wind blows the flower gallery, the clothes sway gently in the wind, and the rope pulls the wood on the flower gallery, making a babbling sound. What is this thing?Fang Duobing blinked and blinked again, the dress was still there, and he quickly recognized it was a woman's skirt.At this moment, real footsteps came from not far away, and the night watchman came. Fang Sickly glanced up and down the rope and skirt, and there was something familiar hanging under the skirt and above the wooden bridge. Fang Duobing suddenly came up with a bold idea. He tore off the rope, rolled it and his clothes into a ball and put it in his arms, picked up the things on the wooden bridge, jumped and rolled into the grass on one side, and lurked again. Do not move. The night guards quickly passed by the wooden bridge, but they didn't find anything strange on the bridge.Fang Duoxing's heart is beating wildly, I am not very courageous, this is the first time I have done such a harm, bah!Such blasphemy, but this matter is definitely not simple, not simple When Fang Duobing picked up the dress, he knew it was a piece of light [Note: No flower tulle.Song Zhoumi's "Qi Dong Ye Yu" Volume 10: Those who love the lightest yarn have the so-called lightness. ], this thing is extremely light, so it is very expensive, and the ability to pull the rope to shake proves that there is still something in the clothes.But the other thing he carried in his arms really made him shudder, and that was a note. A cross-shaped note with deep creases. It was clearly once a square, but it hadn't been glued together with glue, and it was blown into disorder by the night wind. His grandma's place is a hundred miles away from Jiaoyang Village, and five or sixty miles away from Artai Town where Si Lianhua lives now. This is the imperial city!How could there be such a thing? Who hung a hanging rope in the wooden bridge and who hung a garment in it?Fang Duobing's palms were gradually sweating. Regardless of whether the troublemaker was a human or a ghost, it was obvious that its original intention was definitely not for him to see. It must be for a certain person or some people in this Jingde Palace to see.After Fang Duobing lay dormant in the courtyard for an hour, he finally made a decision. It was dawn the next day. In the room where Fang Duobing lived in Jingde Hall With a yawn, Fang Duobing woke up, and while getting out of bed to put on his shoes, he secretly complained that this small, narrow and terribly hard bed was nothing compared to Fang's family, but it was better than Li Lianhua's. The guest bed in the building is still hard, but fortunately this place looks good from the outside, it turns out that the wooden bed is so poorly made, it is really unreasonable! After washing, Fang Duobing wandered to the dining place, he counted, there were five officials living in Jingde Hall, none of them seemed to have martial arts. Fang Duoxing glanced at everyone's faces, and found that their expressions were normal, and no one seemed to notice that he touched them out last night. Mr. Fang.The person who came to talk to me seemed to be a distant official from the southwest. His reputation as an official was too long and too sick to remember. He only knew that this man with a mustache was surnamed Lu, so he bared his teeth and smiled: "Lord Lu!" . Master Lu looked hesitant: I have something, but I can't find it for some reason, I wonder if Mr. Fang saw it? Fang Duobing just woke up and didn't even have a mouthful of porridge. Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he smirked and said: I don't know what Mr. Lu is missing? This Mr. Lu from the southwest, surnamed Lu Mingfang, was only forty years old. He frowned when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment on his face: This It's a box Master Lu brought from home.Another person surnamed Li beside him helped him answer the conversation. This person surnamed Li was also from the southwest, but he spoke with a capital accent. I saw it on Master Lu's table yesterday, but it disappeared today for some reason.Fang Duoxing also frowned: a box?He suddenly smiled suavely, wondering what kind of box Master Lu lost?If Mr. Lu prefers a certain kind of box, I can ask someone to buy some for Mr. Lu. Lu Fang was taken aback: absolutely not.He knows that the Fang family is rich and powerful, and he also knows that Fang Sickness is about to become the emperor's son-in-law. I bought a dress, my wife spent half of my life with me in poverty, and never looked lightly, but the dress suddenly disappeared last night. Fang Duobing was taken aback. He knew that Lu Fang was weird, but he didn't know that the clothes were his. If the clothes hanging on the rope belonged to him, wouldn't the neck rope also be hanging around his neck?This is too strange!Lu Fang doesn't know martial arts, and he came from a long way, logically speaking, he definitely doesn't know Qing Liang Yu, so why is there a note next to him that is exactly the same as the one on Feng Xiaoqi?Feng Xiaoqi's note must have been taken from Qingliangyu, but where did Qingliangyu get it from? Could it be that Qingliangyu took it from Lu Fang?But that's not right, so who deliberately stole Lu Fang's clothes, and then deliberately hung those things on the wooden bridge in the garden? Mr. Fang looked surprised.The person next to him with the same surname as Li Lianhua spoke slowly, and I was also very surprised to meet a thief in the Dao place. Fang Duobing glanced at this person, and saw that this person had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, pale complexion, but a very calm demeanor, although he was ugly, he was not particularly annoying to look at: Yes, this is an important place in the imperial city, how could there be thieves? No no no, it's not a thief, it's probably because I left it alone, and I left it myself Lu Fang hurriedly clarified, how could there be a thief here?No way. Fang Duobing and the surname Li immediately nodded and agreed, and the matter was settled. 2. The second piece of paper The dress that Lu Fang left behind is now rolled up in the quilt in Fang Duo's sick room. It is so light and thin, it looks like nothing, and it can't be seen under the quilt at all.As for what was in the dress, he came back too late last night, and he didn't dare to light up the lamp to see, so he simply threw it into the closet with the note so that no one would dare to open his closet. Today, after exchanging greetings with the adults, Fang Sick found that it was past half of the night. He went back to the room, closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and took out the things except the clothes from the table. Qingrong is a blouse, which usually has no pockets, and this one certainly doesn't. The things are not put in the pockets, but hung on the corners of the clothes. It was an emerald hairpin. The hairpin is round and smooth, carved in the shape of a peacock's tail feather, gorgeous and beautiful, with unusually fine lines.Fang Duobing stared at this hairpin for a long time, staring dumbfounded, not because he marveled at the priceless value of this thing, but because it was a hairpin for men, it was a hairpin for men, not a hairpin for women. In addition, even his wealthy young master Fang has never seen such a gorgeous hairpin. Even his sister-in-law and sister-in-law probably don't have such exquisite things, first-class materials, first-class hairpins Craftsmanship is something that can be met but not sought after. There is only a hairpin hooked on Qingrong, nothing else, as Lu Fang said, this dress is brand new, it doesn't look like someone has worn it.Fang Duobing picked up the rope hanging on the flower gallery. The rope was made of three strands of torn rags twisted into one strand, and it looked like a braid.Yesterday he was tapped at twenty-eight acupoints, and now after a day, his qi and blood have flowed through, and now he grasped the rope with a little force, the rope was actually tolerable, it was more than enough to strangle or hang a person with this rope , but why use it to hang a piece of clothing?If you want to hang something light, one or two hairs are enough, why bother to twist the rope? weird, weird Fang Duobing threw the tee and the rope into the cabinet, then took out the note and examined it carefully. He had read this note yesterday, and there were indeed a few words written in it, but it wasn't something like "up, down, one, up, two, down, two". There were two words Jiuzhong written in the note, and then it disappeared.Fang Duobing took the note and folded it a few times according to the creases on it. Sure enough, it could be easily put together into a square. There were also a few lines drawn on the square. The position was similar to that of Li Lianhua. I don't know why. The wind blew the candlelight, and the flame flickered for a while.Fang Duobing put away the note, and there were a few lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the window, fluttering in the wind, the light was very dim, he rubbed his nose, the long night was long, sitting alone was boring, so he turned to the book and read it, although he, Fang, was informal The small section is full of knowledge in both civil and military affairs, and it is by no means just dancing with knives and guns. There is a bookcase in this room. Fang Duosick walked over slowly, raised his head and glanced at the bibliography, and saw dozens of books on the bookshelf, most of which were "Book of Songs" and "Analects of Confucius" in a row. Behind the bibliography, there was something vaguely lying horizontally. He reached behind the book, pulled out the thing hidden behind, shook it, There was a little dust floating under the lamp. This thing had obviously been placed here for a while, Fang Duo sickly waved it away in distaste, and after the dust cleared, he carefully checked that it was also a book. It looks like a book, but it's not really a book, but a bound booklet.Fang Duobing brought the oil lamp over, but there were no erotic pictures in the book, nor were there any martial arts secrets, which made him very disappointed. Many pages in the booklet were empty, without a word, and no words came out even after the smoke and fire. Only on the first page were written three large characters of Pagoda of Bliss, and on the second page were some paintings that vaguely resembled lotus flowers, Beads, shells and other things, the brushwork is very poor, far inferior to his magical brushwork, and three points behind Li Lianhua's ghostly drawn symbols. In addition to lotus and shells, the third page also draws There are six strange-looking birds, and there is nothing else, not a word. Fang Duobing read the booklet three or five times. There was nothing to read, so he had to throw it aside. He lay down on the bed, his eyes were still not closed, and suddenly saw a shadow on the beam, and a figure came from the roof. Fly away. Fang Duobing flew up, stunned for a moment, while he was flipping through things, there was someone who was able to peek on the roof at such a time and in such a place, and the most important thing was that he didn't hear any movement. Is there such a capable person? Who is that man?what did he seeIs this the one who stole Lu Fang's wife's clothes and hung them on the wooden bridge on purpose?If this person has such martial arts, why would he do such boring things? Fang Duo stayed sick for a while, and couldn't help feeling a chill all over his body. This man knew that the dress was with him, if it was spread out tomorrow, how would he explain it to Lu Fang?After a while, he jumped up and climbed onto the beam. The beam was covered with dust, without any trace of footsteps. When he looked up again, there was a skylight on the house.He quietly got out through the skylight, leaned on the roof of his house, and stared down. The room was brightly lit, and I was not prepared. If I was not afraid of being spotted by the patrolling guards, it would be okay to hide here and take a peek. However, Fang Duobing found that there were several beams under the skylight blocking his view. Although the room was bright, it was not easy. Take a good look at what's going on underneath.Turning his head and looking at the roof, the roof has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and some of the dust has accumulated into mud. There are only faint traces of rubbing, but no footprints can be seen. Fang Duobing turned over lightly, fell into the skylight, grabbed the window sill with his ten fingers, glanced away, his heart sank slightly. He had leaned on the roof just now, but the marks left were much deeper than the ones on the roof before. up. Could it be that the person on the house just now is really as light as a swallow?Fang Duobing let go of his fingers and jumped down from the skylight, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, he turned around and sat down at the table blankly.The candle shadow continued to shake, and then lightly exploded a candle flower. Fang Duobing poured himself a cup of tea, and was suddenly taken aback, only to realize that his shadow was on the left side, but now the shadow ran to the right side. The oil lamp changed from right to left.Who moved the oil lamp? Fang Duoxing looked to the left, the cold sweat on his body was still wet, and he suddenly felt colder again.He casually threw the booklet that looked like a ghostly talisman on another grand teacher's chair, but it disappeared at this moment. He stood up suddenly, stood stiffly in the room, looked around, and made sure that everything in the room was in order. The bed was neat, the books on the bookcase were just as messy as before, and the few clothes he brought were still in a mess. Throwing it in the open box, everything seems to be exactly the same as before. Only one booklet was missing. Fang Duobing is well-versed in martial arts, wandering in the rivers and lakes, experienced countless strange scenes, escaped from death three or five times, never once made him break out in so much cold sweat. No body, just unreasonable.This is Jingdedian, where the stolen dresses, the hanging ropes, the peeping figures, and the missing pamphlets It seems that in Jingde Palace, inside and outside the imperial city, there is an unstoppable shadow floating. That shadow is doing a horrible and malicious thing step by step. If he is allowed to complete it, it will definitely cause terrible consequences But no one knows who he is, and no one knows what he wants to do. Fang Duobing turned around and opened the cabinet. The hairpins and ropes in the cabinet were still there. I don’t know if it was because he leaned over the skylight and couldn’t see where the things were, or he left them on purpose. Anyway, the booklet was gone. The hosta and rope are still there. The bed was just as it had been, obviously the skirt was still inside.Although he didn't know what the booklet was, it must be much more important to him than the thing he picked up last night. His grandma's!Fang Duo was seriously ill and sat down, gnashing his teeth. I am here to bump into a ghost, but the dead lotus is not knowing where to be happy. The dark red lanterns outside the window are still shaking, and the wind is still strong tonight. When the wind picked up, Lu Fang was sitting in the room staring at the empty table in a daze. That dress was actually for his concubine, but it didn't make much difference to Lord Lu, he was timid by nature, so he didn't dare to take money and pervert the law, he couldn't afford it for a piece of light .But why someone knew that he had this dress and stole it from him silently, he really couldn't figure it out. Not to mention stealing from a place like Jingdedian. Is this just a coincidence?The origin of that dress was in Lu Fang's heart, feeling uneasy, when he suddenly heard rustling outside the window.He looked outside, his eyes widened suddenly, the corners of his mouth trembled, his whole body was stiff, and he almost fainted In the garden outside the window, something is crawling. The thing was dressed in human form, with a little hair, and writhed on the ground in a strange posture, as if its whole body was flat on the ground, but its shoulders and limbs squirmed in all directions from time to time, which was inconsistent with the direction he was moving. Giggle Lu Fang made a strange sound from his throat, and started talking nonsense instead of frightened, completely unsure of what he was supposed to do, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time, haha The human-shaped thing turned its head suddenly, and Lu Fang saw a pair of eyes glowing green in the dark flowers. Those eyes were definitely not human, and there was a huge lump of flesh writhing around the neck of the head. , looking horrible and disgusting. Hahahaha Lu Fang pointed at that thing and laughed wildly. Hahahahaha, that weird thing was wearing a dress. The brand new dress was covered with mud and dead branches and leaves. He had seen that dress, he had seen that skirt! He knew who stole his lightness!It's a ghost!It was the female ghost who died in the Tower of Bliss! Hahahaha, Lu Fang laughed so hard that he sat down on the ground, since the female ghost came to take her life, could he still escape?Hahahahahaha Lu Fang laughed wildly in the room, and the sound spread everywhere, and soon the guards and maids rushed over, and saw Lord Lu sitting on the ground, laughing with tears streaming down his face, spitting at the mouth, couldn't help being shocked, and shouted in unison: "Master Lu!" ! Mrs. Li Fei Li, who was good friends with Lu Fang, also rushed there. Fang was sick and not familiar with the road, so he found Lu Fang's house after detouring a few wrong roads. Lu Fang was really crazy. This scholar's hair is unique even when he is crazy, this Master Lu giggled until he lost all strength, and then he didn't speak. Fang Duobing was tongue-tied and inexplicable. He glanced sideways at Li Fei's already white monkey face, which became even paler. When the doctor arrived, they helped Lu Fang to the bed. He laughed until the smile became silent, but he still couldn't understand why this good-looking person suddenly went crazy? Fang Duoxing turned his head to look out the window. He had an intuition that Lu Fang probably saw something.He didn't see what got on his roof and stole the booklet, maybe Lu Fang saw it, and then he went crazy.Could it be a good thing that I didn't see it?Fang Duobing felt resentful, what exactly was that? The story of Lu Fang's madness spread widely the next day. The atmosphere in Jingde Hall was already delicate. At this time, everyone was in danger. They didn't know if Lu Fang was possessed by an evil spirit. Isn't it extremely unlucky for myself?Immediately, there was a wave of burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the hall. Some people worshiped Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, some people worshiped Amitabha Tathagata Buddha, and some people worshiped Sariputra, Mahamaggallana, Mahakasyapa, The great disciples such as Maha Jushiro can be said to be erudite and knowledgeable, and proficient in Buddhism. Fang Duobing respectfully hung a portrait of Abbot Zhang Fakong of Shaolin Temple in his room, and burned three sticks of incense for him in a serious manner, but he thought in his heart that the dead lotus flower had gone, and he knew that I would hit a ghost here He should have been drinking in the tortoise's den back then until Lianhua's family was ruined, how could he just leave so easily?Mistake, big mistake. After Fang Duobing finished burning incense, he was invited to the side hall by his maid, saying that he had something important to announce.There was a row of people standing in the side hall, and there were a few father-in-laws standing in front of them, who looked like they were all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has invited the best mages, and they will go to Jingde Hall to practice dharma, please don't be nervous.The Jingde Palace is also managed by the House of Internal Affairs in the palace, but the food and accommodation here is very simple, there is no luxury in the palace, and there are porridge and side dishes every day, which does not cost a lot of money. Mage?Fang Duobing was overjoyed, he couldn't find any trace of that thing, it would be good to get a mage to do it, what if it really is that thing? That's right, it's a mage who has become popular in the prince's place recently. His honorific title is Master Liuyi. It is said that he can know the past and the future, call the wind and call the rain, and caught several little ghosts at the prince's place. Wang's second-class eunuch rarely came here, and he only showed up in ten days and a half months. I heard that he was also very busy in the palace.Today, the prince personally came here to announce the matter of Master Liuyi and to appease people's hearts. Oh, the mage who can call the wind and rain, and catch imps.Fang Sickly was full of interest: When will the mage come? Arrive in the afternoon. Li Fei sat on the side in silence, the other three adults and Fang Duobing didn't speak, so naturally they also sat on the side without saying a word. Fang Duoxing was in a good mood, and smiled and said to the person next to Li Fei: This lord looks very familiar, I don't know that lord is knowledgeable, and immediately reported his family name: Zhao Chi, the next official, is the magistrate of Huaizhou. Although Fang Duobing is not an official, everyone knows that he is about to become the emperor's son-in-law, so naturally he has to call himself an official. Fang Duobing let out a sigh, he was a senior official, and then glanced at the other person: This lord looks familiar too The other person was as acquainted with Zhao Chi, and hurriedly said: "The next official is still Xing Xing, and I am walking in Dali Temple." Fang Duoyi was taken aback because he was just a petty official. The third person didn't wait for his familiarity, so he said to himself: Liu Kehe, the next official, supervised by the Ministry of Industry. Fang sickly asked: How many of you were summoned by the emperor together? The four of them looked at each other, and Li Fei coughed lightly: That's right. Fang Duoxing became even more curious. Why did the emperor summon these irrelevant officials with different positions to come to Beijing?Seeing his surprised face, the well-informed Master Zhao said: Your majesty is wise and wise. If you pass the decree thousands of miles away, there must be a deep meaning. It's just that we are ignorant and can't understand it for a while. When we see the sky, we will naturally understand it. Fang Duobing was speechless, and cursed Zhao Chi's cunning in his heart. It was clear that these five people knew why the emperor summoned them, but they didn't say anything. The current emperor is not a foolish emperor. If he wants to see these five officials who are ugly in all directions and have all the facial features and appearances, and arrange them together in Jingde Hall, there must be something important. Maybe the emperor wants to Does what he knows have anything to do with the strange thing that spooked Lu Fang madly?Fang Duoxing suddenly had a cold war. If it was really related, wouldn't his father, the emperor and others be very dangerous? The time passed in the irrelevant greetings of the adults, and after eating a meal of porridge and side dishes, I only heard a message from outside the door: Master Liuyi has arrived. The five people in the room raised their heads one after another. Fang Duobing slapped his chopsticks and stared at the door with piercing eyes. Then Master Liuyi walked to the door. 3. Master Liuyi When Master Liuyi walked to the door, Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, and then he gaped and showed a very ridiculous expression.The Master Liuyi was smiling at him in a gentle manner. The visitor had fair skin but a little yellowish, with elegant and delicate features, neither fat nor thin, nor tall nor short. He was wearing a gray coat with a few patches on it. , who is it not Li Lianhua? Zhao Chi seemed to be very convinced of Master Liuyi, and immediately stood up straight and straight, and everyone also stood up: "Long admiration, Master, please sit down." Li Lianhua nodded to Zhao Chi, with a look of extraordinary power: I heard that Master Lu has been bewitched? Zhao Chi hurriedly said: "Exactly, Mr. Lu was sitting quietly in his room last night. For some reason, he was suddenly possessed by an evil spirit and went mad. He still hasn't woken up yet." Li Lianhua waved his sleeves, and nodded to those who looked at him: Where is Master Lu, please lead the way. 李菲頓時站了起來，他的目光不住在李蓮花身上打轉：法師這邊請。 方多病呆在一旁，眼睜睜看著李蓮花跟在李菲身後向魯方的房間走去，半眼也沒瞧向自己，悻悻然想：他竟然連太子也敢騙 過不了多久，李蓮花和李菲又從魯方房中回來，方多病涼涼地看著他們，看李菲那表情，就知道法師雖然神力無邊，但還是沒把魯方治好。 李蓮花走回廳堂，一本正經地道：此地被千年狐精看中，即將在此築巢，若不作法將那千年狐精騙走，只怕各位近期之內都會受狐精侵擾，輕者如魯大人一般神志不清，重者則會有血光之災。 李菲一臉慘白，聽著六一法師的話，一言不發，趙尺卻道：既然如此，還請法師快快作法，將那千年狐精趕出門去，以保眾人平安。 李蓮花又道：嗯本法師將於今夜子時在此作法擒拿狐精，除留一人相助之外，其餘眾人都需離開景德殿，法壇上需上好佳釀一罈，四葷四素祭品，水果若干，桃木劍一支，符紙若干張，好讓本法師順利作法。 李蓮花的這些要求在來前便已提過，王公公已將東西準備齊全，李蓮花微笑問道：今夜有誰願留下與我一同作法？ 方多病甕聲甕氣地道：我。 李蓮花恭恭敬敬地給方多病行了一禮：原來是駙馬爺，今夜或許危險 方多病兩眼翻天：本駙馬從來不懼危險，一貫為人馬前之卒、出生入死、赴湯蹈火、螳臂擋車、一夫當關在所不惜。 李蓮花欣然道：原來駙馬經歷過許多歷練，我看你龍氣盤身、天庭飽滿、紫氣高耀、瑞氣千條，狐精自是不能近身。 方多病陰陽怪氣地道：正是正是，本駙馬瑞氣千條，狐精野鬼之流、千變萬化之輩近了身都是要魂飛魄散的。 李蓮花連連點頭：原來駙馬對精怪之道也頗為精通。 幾位久經官場，眼看方多病滿臉冷笑，便知新科駙馬對六一法師頗有微詞，一個是皇上眼裡的駙馬，一個是太子跟前的紅人，自是人人盡快託詞離去，不消片刻，四人便走得乾乾淨淨。 人一走，方多病便哼了一聲，李蓮花目光在屋裡轉了幾圈，選了張椅子坐了下來，偏偏他選的椅子就是方多病方才坐的那張。 方多病又哼了一聲：你怎麼來了？ 我發現封小七的那張紙是貢紙，所以便來到京城。李蓮花居然沒有說謊，微笑道，然後我翻了一戶人家的牆，結果那是太子府。只見四面八方都是人，太子端了一杯酒在賞月 方多病本來要生氣的，聽到這裡卻忍不住笑出來：他沒將你這小賊抓起來，重重地打上五十大板？ 李蓮花摸了摸臉，若有所思地道：不、不太子問我是何方法師，可是知道他府中鬧鬼，這才特地顯聖，騰雲駕霧於他的花園 方多病猛地嗆了口氣：咳咳咳咳咳 李蓮花繼續微笑道：我看與其做個小賊，不如當個法師，於是起了個法號，叫做六一。 方多病瞪眼道：他就信你？難道太子在宮中這麼多年沒見過輕功身法？ 李蓮花微笑道：我看太子身旁的大內高手，只怕都不敢在太子面前翻牆。 方多病呸了一聲：他真的信你？ 李蓮花嘆氣道：他本來多半只是欣賞六一法師騰雲駕霧的本事，後來我在他花園裡抓到幾隻小山貓，那幾隻東西在他花園裡撲鳥籠裡的鳥吃，又偷吃廚房裡的雞鴨，鬧得太子府雞犬不寧。之後他就信我信得要命，連他貼身侍衛的話都不聽了。 方多病咳嗽一聲，重重嘆了口氣：難怪史上有巫蠱之禍，如你這般歪門邪術也能深得信任，我朝亡矣、我朝亡矣 李蓮花道：非也、非也，我朝天子明察秋毫，英明神武，遠可勝千里、近可觀佳婿，這是區區巫蠱能亡之 方多病大怒：死蓮花！如今你當了法師，這景德殿的事你要是收拾不了，回去之後看太子不剝了你的皮！ 噓李蓮花壓低聲音，魯方怎會瘋了？ 方多病怒道：我怎會知道？之前他還好端端的，昨天他就突然瘋了，我又不是神仙，鬼知道他怎麼會瘋了？你不是法師嗎？ 李蓮花悄聲道：你不知道他為什麼會瘋，怎會留在這裡當駙馬？ 方多病一怔，李蓮花的眼角挑著他，你發現了什麼？ 方多病一滯，深深咒罵這死蓮花眼神實在太利：我發現了件衣服。 李蓮花嘖嘖稱奇：衣服？ 方多病終於忍不住將他前幾日的見聞說出來：我在後院的木橋上發現有人將一件輕容吊在繩圈裡，就如吊死鬼那般。 李蓮花更加嘖嘖稱奇：那衣服呢？ 方多病悻悻然道：被我藏了起來。 李蓮花微笑著看他，上下看了好幾眼：你的膽子果然很大。 方多病哼了一聲：你當人人如你那般膽小如鼠那件衣服是件輕容的單衫，女裙，衣服是魯方的，卻不知被誰偷了，吊在木橋上，隔天魯方就瘋了。 李蓮花若有所思，喃喃地道：難道魯方對那衣服竟是如此鍾情真是奇了。 方多病想了想：那衣服說是給他老婆帶的，就算魯方對老婆一往情深，衣服丟了，老婆卻沒丟，何必發瘋呢？ 李蓮花欣然道：原來那衣服不是他自己的。 方多病斜眼看李蓮花在椅子上坐得舒服，終究還是在他旁邊的椅子上坐了下去：昨天晚上，有夜行人躲在我屋頂上窺探。 李蓮花微微一怔，驚訝道：夜行人？你竟然沒發覺？方多病苦笑，李蓮花喃喃地道，怪不得、怪不得 方多病問：怪不得什麼？ 李蓮花一本正經地道：怪不得打從今天我看見你開始，你就一臉像踩了大便似的 方多病大怒，從椅子上跳起，又道：那人武功確實很高。 How do you see it?李蓮花虛心求教。 夜行人在我屋頂窺探，我半點也沒發覺屋頂上有人。方多病洩氣的道，等我看到人影衝上屋頂，他又進了我的屋子偷了我一本書。 a book?李蓮花目光謙遜、語氣溫和、求知若渴地看著方多病。 方多病比劃了一下：我在房裡的書架上發現了一本小冊子，裡面有古裡古怪的畫，封面寫了三個字極樂塔。我看那本子裡沒寫什麼就扔在一邊，但等我從屋頂上下來後，那本小冊子便不見了。他重複了一遍，那本小冊子便不見了，油燈還從右邊變到了左邊。 沒看到人？李蓮花微微皺起了眉頭。 No!方多病冷冷地道，我只看到個鬼影，人家上了我的房進了我的屋動了我的油燈拿了我的東西，我卻什麼也沒看見。 然後魯方就瘋了？李蓮花白皙如玉的手指輕輕在太師椅的扶手上敲了幾下，抬起眼睫，你沒看見而魯方看見了？ 方多病沉默，過了好一會兒他才嘆了口氣：我也是這麼想。 有什麼東西居然能把人活生生地給嚇瘋了？李蓮花站起身來，在屋裡慢慢踱了兩圈，自然不是鬼鬼最多要你的命，不會要你的書。 方多病低聲道：但有什麼東西能把人嚇瘋呢？ 李蓮花皺起眉頭，這當真是件古怪的事。 方多病涼涼地道：古怪是古怪，但只怕並不是什麼千年狐精作怪，不知六一法師今晚要如何抓到那隻千年狐精呢？ 我要先去你的房間看看。李蓮花如是說。 方多病的房間一如昨夜，只是那裝衣裳的木箱被多翻了幾遍，那些柔軟如雪的綢衣、精細絕倫的繡紋被揉成一團丟在地上。李蓮花以欣賞的目光多看了兩眼，方多病隨即翻開被子，把捲在被子裡的輕容翻了出來。 那果然只是一件普通的罩衣，並沒有什麼異樣。李蓮花的手指輕輕點在罩衫的衣角：這裡 那輕容罩衫的袖角有一個圓形的小破口，那衣裳很新，這破口卻略有扯動的痕跡，也有些發白。 方多病驀地想起，連忙把那孔雀尾羽的玉簪和繩子拿了出來：這個這個，這東西原來掛在衣服上。 李蓮花慢慢拾起那枝玉簪，食指自簪頭緩緩劃至簪尾，筆直尖銳、平滑如鏡、光潤細膩。 這個東西李蓮花慢慢地說，沒有棱角，是怎麼掛上去的？ 方多病一怔，他把衣服捲走的時候翻成一團在懷裡，再打開的時候玉簪就掉了下來，他怎麼知道這東西是如何掛上去的？的確，這孔雀尾羽的玉簪頭端圓潤扁平，沒有棱角，所雕刻的線條又流暢細膩，它是怎麼掛在輕容上的？ 唯一的解釋是這樣。李蓮花將玉簪簪尾對準輕容上的破口，將它插了進去，是這樣，有人把它插進去，而不是掛著。接著他長長吐出一口氣，有人曾經拿著玉簪扎衣服，如果這人不是與這衣服有不共戴天之仇，便是要扎穿這衣服的人不管他扎的時候衣服裡究竟有沒有人總之，他要扎的應該是衣服的主人。 李蓮花頓了一頓，又慢吞吞地說：或者是這樣他將玉簪拔了起來，自袖子裡往外插，齊尾穿過破口露到外面：這樣。 方多病看得毛骨悚然，吞吞吐吐地道：這個這個 這就是說這衣服是有主人的，衣服的主人自己拿著玉簪往外扎入，不知這是故意的還是不小心，扎破了自己的衣袖。李蓮花聳了肩，不管是哪一種，總而言之，這衣服是有主人的。 這衣服是有主人的，而它的主人顯然並不是魯方。魯方既然要把這衣服送給他老婆，自然不會將它扎破，並且那破口看起來並不太新，不像是昨夜扎破的。 以我之見李蓮花沉靜了好一會兒，還是慢慢地道，如果是這樣插他將玉簪往裡插在衣袖上，因為簪頭比較重，衣服掛起來的時候，它會掉下去。他緩緩拔出玉簪，將它自袖內往外插：而這樣衣袖兜住簪頭，它就不會掉下來。 所以這件輕容掛在木橋上的時候，這枝簪子就插在它的衣袖裡？方多病失聲道，所以這不是件新衣服，它其實不是魯方的。 李蓮花頷首：這枝玉簪多半不是魯方插上去的。 魯方不知從什麼地方得到了這件衣服。方多病恍然，那麼就可以解釋為何有人要偷走衣服了這件輕容不是他的，有人偷走衣服，將玉簪插回衣袖裡，都是要提醒魯方，這件衣服不是他的，提醒他不要忘了是從什麼地方得到它的。 good.李蓮花嘆了口氣，這件衣服上什麼都沒有，輕容雖然貴得很，但萬萬沒有這枝玉簪貴，絕不會有人為了一件衣服裝神弄鬼，魯方必定見過什麼不可告人的事，在什麼不可告人的地方得到了這件衣服他自己心虛，所以被人一嚇就給嚇瘋了。 方多病沉吟：魯方曾說他是丟了一個小盒子，說不定這玉簪和輕容是放在一起的，也不一定是他特地帶來嚇魯方的。 李蓮花微笑道：這不要緊，魯方雖然瘋了，李菲不還清醒嗎？魯方那不可告人的事，李菲多半也知道。 方多病嗤的一聲笑，大力拍了拍他的肩：有時候你也有老子一半的聰明。 這時，王公公指揮一群小侍衛，將李蓮花開壇作法的各種東西抬了進來，吆喝一聲，放在魯方窗外的花園之中，一群人邁著整齊的步伐，很快進來，又訓練有素地很快退了出去。 王公公顯然對景德殿並沒有太大的興趣，他唯一的注意力無疑只用在皇上有意指婚的方大人長子上，而這位長子顯然也沒有給他留下太深的印象。深居宮廷之中讓這三十多歲的太監臉上死板僵硬，目光高深莫測，對方多病和李蓮花各看了幾眼，便稱退而出。 這日方才黃昏，而景德殿中已只剩方多病和李蓮花兩人。四面一片寂靜，這地方房屋不多，庭院倒是不小，隔幾道牆便是皇宮，花木眾多，十分僻靜。 李蓮花一本正經地將香爐擺上，點了三柱清香，那四葷四素的菜肴擺開來，雖然冷了，卻還是讓許多天一直吃清粥小菜的人食指大動。方多病撈起塊蹄膀就開始啃：你打算怎麼對付李菲？ 李菲？李蓮花斯斯文文地拿了筷子去夾碟子裡的香菇，慢吞吞地道，李大人我不大熟，又沒有駙馬的面子，怎好輕易對付？他將那香菇嚼了半天，又慢吞吞地從那盤裡面挑了一隻蝦米出來，你居然沒有生氣？ 方多病剛才突然想起另一件事，倒是把他那駙馬什麼的事情略過了：死蓮花。 李蓮花揚起眉頭：嗯？ 方多病從懷裡摸出那張紙條：這個你從烏龜殼裡出來，難道不是為了這個？ 李蓮花眼神微動，從袖裡抽出封小七那張，兩張紙條併在一處，只見紙上的摺痕全然一模一樣，只是方多病那張小了些，紙上的字跡也是一模一樣。 這兩張東西顯然出自於同一個地方。 九重？李蓮花思索了好一會兒，清涼雨甘冒奇險，是為了救一個人，此人他不知救成沒有，便和封小七一起死了，封小七身上有一張紙條。魯方丟了一個盒子，盒子裡有件來歷不明的衣服，魯方瘋了，那件衣服掛在庭院中，衣服下面也有一張紙條也許 李蓮花慢慢地道：也許我們一開始就想錯了這件事本來應該是另外一個樣子。 方多病已經忍不住插嘴：清涼雨和封小七死了那是因為封磬殺了他們，關這紙條屁事 不錯，清涼雨和封小七的喪命是因為封磬殺人。李蓮花道，但若不是封磬殺了他們，他們是不是也會被某一個人、或者某一些人所殺呢？清涼雨要救誰？這張紙條究竟是他們生前就有的，或者是死後誰神不知鬼不覺地放入封小七衣袋的？ 方多病連連搖頭：不對、不對，你要知道清涼雨雖然死了，但封小七當時並沒有死，他們被封磬追殺的時候那殺豬的不是還看到了嗎？封小七還被殺豬的救活了一段時間，然後才自己上吊自殺的。如果這是死後放入的，那殺豬的怎會不知道？ 不李蓮花微微一笑，這或許正是紙條出現在封小七衣袋而不是出現在清涼雨衣袋的原因有人也在追蹤清涼雨和封小七，但他晚了一步，等他追到封小七的時候，清涼雨已經身亡並且給埋了，封小七奄奄一息。於是這人便將原本要放在清涼雨身上的紙條放入了封小七衣袋裡。殺豬的自然是不會武功，一天裡又有大半時間不在家，要在奄奄一息或者已經上吊自盡的封小七身上放一張紙打什麼難的？ 方多病語塞，這的確也有些可能：將一張破紙放在封小七衣袋裡能有什麼用？ 同樣的，把魯方那件衣服掛在花園裡能有什麼用？但就是有人把它掛在那兒了。李蓮花溫和地道，魯方那件事按道理應該是這樣魯方死了，魯方老婆的衣服被掛在花園裡吊頸，衣服裡扎著玉簪、衣服下丟著紙條。但魯方該死的那天你卻在景德殿附近東奔西跑的，以我所見，初到景德殿時，你必定是時時刻刻都在想著如何逃跑，東張西望、半夜翻牆瞎摸之事自是非做不可於是魯方本要死的，被你莫名攪了局，稀里糊塗地那一晚並沒死成。 方多病張口結舌：你是說老子在花園裡摸索的時候，其實已經有人準備要殺魯方，但他看到老子摸近，所以就沒下手？不過老子當時全身武功被禁，要殺老子實在是不費吹灰之力阿。 李蓮花皺起眉頭：若是旁人，那自然也就殺了，但你是駙馬，你若突然死了，你老子、你老子的老子、你老婆、還有你老婆的新爹豈能善罷甘休？ 方多病嗆了口氣：咳咳那老子若不是駙馬，豈非早就死了？ 李蓮花極是同情地看著他，然後十分欣賞地道：恭喜恭喜，可見這公主正是非娶不可的。 方多病呸了幾聲：那既然那魯方沒死成，衣服怎會還掛在橋上？ 人家掛了衣服，擺好陣勢，剛要殺人，你就摸了出來，人沒殺成也就算了，還眼睜睜看你把東西收走了。李蓮花嘆息，我若是兇手，心裡必定很生氣。 方多病張口結舌，哭笑不得：難道老子半夜撞鬼，看見衣服在橋上上吊這全然是場烏龍？ 李蓮花正色道：多半是，所以人家隔天夜裡就到你屋頂上窺探，合情合理。方多病呆了好一陣子：老子收走了衣服，他當夜沒殺魯方，又沒法把衣服還回去，魯方發現衣服不見，打草驚蛇，於是隔天晚上老子在房裡無聊的時候，他又找上魯方，然後魯方就瘋了。 李蓮花連連點頭：如此說法，較為合乎情理。 如此說法方多病順著李蓮花的話說了下去，這就是個連環套，清涼雨和封小七死了，有人在封小七身上放了張紙條；魯方瘋了，也有人放了張紙條，這紙條必定是意有所指。 李蓮花手中的筷子微略動了一下，突然伸到方多病面前那盤鹵豬蹄膀裡夾走了一個板栗：就目前看來，像一種隱晦的威懾。 威懾？方多病下筷如飛，將鹵豬蹄膀裡的板栗全部挑走，威懾得魯大人魂飛魄散，景德殿中人心惶惶？ 李蓮花眼見板栗不見，臉上微笑八風不動，持筷轉戰一盤紅燒魚，下筷的速度比方多病只快不慢，他邊吃邊說，語氣居然和不吃東西時毫無差別，讓方多病非常不滿：清涼雨要去救一個人，魯方得了件來歷不明的衣服，我猜那個人和那件衣服多半是同一件事。他扔紙條的用意多半是 李蓮花舉起筷子在脣前吹了口氣，悄聲道：知情者死。所以凡是可能知道這件事的人要嘛閉嘴永不追究、要嘛死即便是如魯方這等稀里糊塗不知深淺，要將東西拿回去送給夫人的小角色，也是殺無赦。 方多病也悄聲道：留下的紙條就是一種標誌。 李蓮花滿意地點頭，不知是對那盤紅燒魚很是滿意或是對方多病的說辭很是滿意：只有知情者才明白紙條的含義，如你我局外之人自然是看而不懂的。 方多病不愛吃魚，看著李蓮花吃魚有些悻悻然：不知道清涼雨要救的人和魯方要送老婆的衣服又是什麼關係，他要隱藏的究竟是什麼樣稀奇古怪的秘密？ 李蓮花吃完了那條魚，很是遺憾地咂咂嘴，他不太喜歡豬肉，方多病卻喜歡：這兩張示威的紙條，都是金絲彩箋。李蓮花指著紙條上隱約可見的金絲和紙條邊緣極細的彩色絲絮，這是貢紙，並且這種貢紙在袞州金蠶絕種之後就再也沒有生產了。微微一頓後，他慢吞吞地繼續道，袞州金蠶絕種，那已經是一百多年前的事了。 這兩張紙條竟是一百多年前寫的？方多病大奇，一百多年前的紙到現在還留著？ 李蓮花更正：是一百多年前的貢紙，這兩張紙，是在皇宮之中書寫的。 方多病啪的一聲扔下筷子：他奶奶的，莫非派人來裝神弄鬼、嚇瘋魯方的居然來自皇宮大內？ 李蓮花連連搖頭：不是、不是，你要知道，皇上突然召見魯方、李菲、趙尺、尚興行，劉可和幾人，絕非一時興起，必有要事。皇上若只是要殺人滅口，那個方法許許多多、千千萬萬，比如恩賜幾條白綾或者派遣大內侍衛將這五人一起殺了，再放一把大火燒了景德殿，對外說失火，誰敢說不是？但他只是嚇瘋了魯方，留下一張紙條，所以不是皇上派來的。 方多病嗯了一聲，從袖中摸出他那支玉笛，在手中敲了兩下：那只剩一種可能，他留下紙條的目的，就是為了恐嚇所有知情人，讓他們閉嘴，一旦讓他發覺有誰知情，格殺勿論，無論是誰都不能知道那個秘密，甚至包括皇上。 李蓮花連連點頭：這是個絕大的秘密，或許是個一百多年前的機密。 絕大的秘密要查，那千年狐精可還要不？牆頭突然有人悠悠地道，若是不要，讓我早早提回去剝了皮吃了。
