Episode 5

Bai Xueyan expressed her gratitude to Song Ci and others for their help.She mentioned that her medicinal powder also had self-defense effects, and left in a hurry.Song Ci and Li Zifang came to a remote inn on the edge of the city.The rooms here are expensive and just when they were about to pay, someone came over and put money on the table and took over the room.Li Zifang shrugged helplessly.Song Ci quickly paid and got a smaller room.

At the dinner table, the man who had previously competed with them for the room claimed to be the apprentice of the capital's head catcher, and expressed that he wanted to investigate the case with them and share information.Song Ci couldn't bear it, so she sat next to him.The man revealed that he was here to participate in the Five Nations Alliance meeting.Song Ci began to analyze the people around him. He always felt that everyone in the inn was a little strange.Moreover, here they met Bai Xueyan, a well-known character.

A Mr. Zhao tried to tease Bai Xueyan, but was stopped by a woman next to him with righteous words.Song Ci observed that the woman's clothes did not match her figure and suspected that she was not a local.He knew that there seemed to be a good show about to take place in Yanhui City.

The next morning, an assassin suddenly broke into the room and the man in black stole the peony picture.This painting was taken away from the two brothers and sisters of the Jin Dynasty. Since they were Jin people, they did not know that this painting was an authentic work of the Song Dynasty.The innkeeper invited Bai Xueyan, hoping that she could identify whether the painting was authentic.After confirmation, Bai Xueyan confirmed that the brother and sister were indeed golden people.The innkeeper asked Bai Xueyan to leave quickly with the painting, and suggested that she go to the military camp to find General Li.This painting is the work of Mr. Zeng, but Mr. Zeng did not rush to find it after it was stolen, which is quite suspicious.The innkeeper knew that Bai Xueyan was a good person and didn't want to implicate her.

However, General Lee has died.Lord Wei is investigating the matter.The Song Dynasty is hosting the Five-Nation Alliance Conference, aiming to maintain friendly and peaceful relations.But General Li was suddenly killed, and the matter was very strange.The top priority is to find the murderer.The circumstances of General Lee's death were shocking.He was sitting in a chair, holding his head in one hand.Previously, Daxia’s deceased had also been killed.At this time, Jin Guo's personal guard A Lan came and insisted that they did not have any curse.

After Song Ci and Li Zifang had dinner in the city, they found Lord Wei.After learning that Li Zifang was Li Wei's son, Lord Wei asked him if he had received the letter.Li Zifang only received a letter from his father asking him to take the exam.Master Wei talked about the strange situation at that time: when General Li was moving forward with his guards, a group of skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared.The soldiers guarding the food fled in panic, not knowing that the food had been quietly ignited.Li Zifang's father was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment prison awaiting trial for his incompetence in handling affairs.Li Zifang was worried and wanted to go to the scene of the crime with Song Ci immediately, but the Xixia envoy died mysteriously. The court ordered the city to be closed and asked to find out the truth before tomorrow.Li Zifang was very worried.
