He turned around and raised his hand to introduce: "This is Yao Zhifu."

Aunt Tao blushed, she was about to kneel down to salute, but was blocked by the prefect Yao.

"I'm not wearing an official uniform when I go out today, so I don't need to salute."

After everyone was seated, Prefect Yao gave a general account of the circumstances surrounding Zou Yingguang's murder.

Others were puzzled by Zou Guangmao's completely different attitudes before and after, but only Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo looked indifferent.

No matter what, Xu Mingyan also felt that he had implicated the two of them because of the grievance between him and Zou Yingguang, but Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo were taken to the government office.

Looking at his expression, Gu Lingze knew that he still had a burden in his heart, so he persuaded: "Brother Xu, since we are both safe and sound, don't worry about it anymore."

"As the saying goes, "Fortune comes with misfortune, and good fortune comes with misfortune." As long as you keep calm, you can turn adversity into prosperity. "

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xuenian suddenly slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly and said, "Well said! My little friend, if you dare to ask where this sentence came from, the old man has been well-known for so many years, but for this sentence The words made no impression."

Gu Lingze swallowed, he didn't even notice that he just said the contents of the Tao Te Ching.

When he was in a dilemma, Zhao Chengmo beside him said, "His master said it."

It is reasonable to say that Lao Tzu is the moral god of Taoism.

So Gu Lingze nodded quickly, and said, "Yes, my master once mentioned something to me, so I will remember it."

After speaking, he gave Zhao Chengmo a "teachable child" look.

"Where is your master, what are his works, can you meet with me?" Zhang Xuenian asked eagerly.

Gu Lingze couldn't help but lamented the other party's lustful mentality, so he shook his head and said, "Master, the old man travels around the mountains and rivers, and I can't find him."

Disappointment appeared on Zhang Xuenian's face. Seeing him like this, Gu Lingze said, "But I still remember some content, and I can copy it for you."

Zhang Xuenian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then it's settled, remember to bring it to me as soon as you finish writing it."

Gu Lingze could only bite the bullet and nodded.

The group had dinner first, and Aunt Tao also borrowed the kitchen of the restaurant to cook their favorite dishes for the two of them. Gu Lingze smiled happily when they ate.

After eating, it's time to get down to business.

Since the homicide happened, Sanyuan Building has become gloomy from the original guest Ruyun, and shopkeeper Wang is also so miserable every day that he can't eat.

Prefect Yao asked him to open the door of Zou Yingguang's original room, and when he entered, Gu Lingze said to him: "Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry about the temporary difficulties, and the business of Sanyuanlou will go up to a higher level in the future."

Xu Mingyan will be the No. [-] scholar in the future, and the place where the No. [-] scholar lived, is it afraid that there will be a lot of people?

Shopkeeper Wang smiled wryly, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Then I will accept your good words."

After the three of them entered, they found that the room was still as messy and messy as the day the incident happened.

Originally, Xu Mingyan also wanted to be together, but Gu Lingze considered that he was going to take the provincial examination in a few days, and was afraid that he would be affected by the shock, so he planned to tell the other party the truth later.

After Gu Lingze came in, he walked to a wall, put his hand on a painting hanging on it, and remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, Yao Zhifu also walked over.

Yao Zhifu looked at the signature of this painting and found that it was Zou Yingguang himself who painted it.

But in Yao Zhifu's eyes, this landscape painting is very ordinary from the brushwork to the best. At best, it can only be commented as mediocre, and it is not worthy of the other party's careful scrutiny.

Prefect Yao was about to open his mouth to ask a question, but Gu Lingze spoke before him.

"My lord, do you believe in karma?"

Prefect Yao pondered for a moment, then replied: "I believe that in life, one should be worthy of these four words, a clear conscience."

This sentence is not a positive answer, but Gu Lingze nodded in agreement.

"I invite you to come here today because I want you to see with your own eyes how Zou Yingguang lost his life."

He took out the bottle containing the blood taken from his sleeve and signaled Zhao Chengmo to close the doors and windows tightly.

After everything was ready, Gu Lingze turned around and walked to the bed, and sprinkled blood on the bedding.

Zhifu Yao was confused by his actions, when the painting on the wall suddenly heard the sound of water swishing.

The sound of water became clearer and clearer from far to near. Prefect Yao took a closer look and found that the mountains, rivers and waterfalls in the painting were all 'alive'.

The waterfall splashed down, raising waves of white mist, mixed with water vapor.

Zhifu Yao couldn't help feeling tense all over, and before he could recover, the scene on the painting changed again.

The water of the waterfall gradually turns black as it flows, and the whole painting is gradually rendered into pitch black by the black water, and the sound of the water gradually decreases until it disappears.

The whole portrait turned into black silk, and the flowing luster on it was weird and gloomy.

At this time, the black water has already flowed out of the painting, trickled down the wall to the ground, and turned into strands of long black hair after landing.

Zhao Chengmo stood silently in front of Gu Lingze, separating him from his hair.

The hair on the ground piled up more and more, but after a few breaths of effort, his eyes came to the bed, the hair was winding up like a vine, tightly entangled on the blood-stained quilt, getting tighter and tighter.

At this time, Gu Lingze took out a talisman and pasted it on the painting, and the frightening scene in front of him disappeared instantly.

The weather in early spring, the cold temperature has not completely subsided, but Yao Zhifu was so scared by this unexpected and terrifying scene that he sweated through his heavy clothes.

He has always been calm and restrained, but now he is a little panicked.

"My lord." Gu Ling startled the other party as soon as he spoke.

"Oh, oh, keep talking." Prefect Yao hadn't recovered yet, and seemed a little incoherent.

"My lord, Zou Yingguang was entangled to death by the hair emerging from this painting."

Yao Zhifu finally understood why Gu Lingze insisted on him coming to Sanyuan Building.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have believed that a painting turned out to be a murderer.

"This painting...why is it like this?" Even now, Zhifu Yao is still puzzled.

"Because there are ghosts living in the painting." Gu Lingze replied calmly.

Once Yao Zhifu heard this, he didn't want to hear about the future development, but because of his responsibility, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Zou Guangmao is uncharacteristically, is it because of seeing this painting?"

Gu Lingze's thin lips curled slightly, "That's not true."

"I just let him personally experience how his son died."
