Qin Shaoyou discovered that the painting skills of this fake prince of Shu were much better than the painting ghost in Zhang Shilang's house.
If his [eyesight] had not improved greatly, he might not have been able to discover that the fake prince of Shu was wearing a painted skin, instead of finding someone with a similar appearance to pretend to be.
But one thing is strange. Although Qin Shaoyou was sure that the prince of Shu was wearing a painted skin, he didn't have the idea of eating it.
This shows that either the painted-skinned ghost pretending to be the prince of Shu borrowed some special means to cover up his ghostly aura; or the person pretending to be the prince of Shu is not a ghost, but a person wearing painted skin!
No matter what the reason was, Qin Shaoyou had a new question in his mind:
The King of Shu went to great lengths to create painted skins for people to pretend to be his prince, and even improved and upgraded the painted skins. Was it just to cover up the fact that his prince had turned into a zombie?
Or does he have some other hidden agenda?
Although Qin Shaoyou was suddenly suspicious, he did not show any signs of it. Instead, he pretended to be excited, and together with other people attending the banquet, stood up to salute the King of Shu and his son.
"No need to be polite, you are the future of the country and the court, please take a seat." King Shu said with a smile, then picked up the wine glass, said some toasts, and then drank the wine in the glass.
The prince of Shu, who was sitting next to him, also raised his wine glass, lifted his veil, and offered a toast to everyone in the courtyard.
Qin Shaoyou has never seen the real appearance of the Prince of Shu, so he doesn't know whether the painting skin looks like it, but judging from the fierce reaction of everyone in the courtyard, it should be very similar.
So Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but wonder: Since the painting of the Prince of Shu has reached the point of lifelikeness, why does this person continue to wear a hat to cover his veil?
Is the King of Shu too cautious, afraid that masters like Zuo Qianhu will see his flaws?
Or does the painted skin have some unknown flaws that force the wearer to wear a hat and a veil?
Wu Fu's keen intuition told Qin Shaoyou that this matter might be a clue that could uncover some new hidden secrets...
He planned to discuss this matter with Zuo Qianhu after he returned.
After the King of Shu and the Crown Prince toasted with wine, the banquet officially began. The King of Shu and the Crown Prince sat on the main seats, only joking with a few officials sitting nearby, and did not say hello to others, let alone come to take care of them in person. 'Let's see Qin Shaoyou.
But this is normal.
Qin Shaoyou was just a trial household. Even if something caught the attention of the King of Shu, he was not qualified enough for the King of Shu to 'take care' of him personally.
When the banquet was halfway through, a slender palace official came to Qin Shaoyou.
There is also a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of the nose of this royal official.
In fact, crystal glasses were not uncommon in the Xia Dynasty, but they were not popular because of their high price.
When Qin Shaoyou came to Zhoucheng this time, he planned to go to an optical shop and give Su Tingyu a pair of crystal glasses to improve her shortsightedness after the case in the Shu Palace was settled.
With a smile on his lips, the official of the palace introduced himself: "Qin Shi Baihu, I am the judge of the palace's court, my surname is Xu. I have long heard that you are very capable in detecting ghost cases, and today I can see you in person. . When I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask you for knowledge on criminal investigation, and I hope that when the time comes, Qin Shi Baihu will be willing to give you some advice."
"I've seen Xu Wenjun before, but I don't dare to ask you for advice. I want to learn more from you." Qin Shaoyou pretended to be flattered, stood up in a hurry, and exchanged business praise with Xu Wenxuan, but in his heart He is secretly on guard: Here he comes!
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou was also curious, wondering what method Xu Juan would use to trick him into judging whether he was lying.
Qin Shaoyou was thinking when he suddenly saw Xu Wencheng raised his hand and fiddled with his crystal glasses.
On the supposedly transparent mirror, strange protruding eyeballs suddenly appeared. They all stared at Qin Shaoyou, flashing with strange eyes, which caused Qin Shaoyou's mind to be in a trance for an instant.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou was already on guard. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he immediately secretly activated his mental resistance.
At the same time, he quietly activated the Bodhi rosary on his wrist. The pain from the ascetic practice swept through his body in an instant, further strengthening his mental resistance.
Gu Chan
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that a chill came from the turtle order in his arms, which made him feel at peace and freed him from the mental control of Xu Wenjing's weird glasses.
"Is the Turtle General Order still useful?"
Qin Shaoyou was secretly surprised, but he did not show any flaws and tried hard to keep his eyes unfocused and in a trance.
Unlike Qin Shaoyou, Xu Wenhuan did not have the [sight] to observe the subtleties. At the same time, he was very confident in his supernatural items. He never expected that Qin Shaoyou could actually get rid of its influence.
Looking at Qin Shaoyou's appearance, the smile on the corner of Xu Shenjun's mouth revealed a bit of pride, and he greeted: "Qin Shi Baihu, I have a few questions to ask you, but this is not the place to talk. Follow me out. Let’s take a walk.”
"yes."
Qin Shaoyou nodded numbly and followed Xu Shenping out of the courtyard.
Because he was sitting relatively outside, no one saw this scene, so it naturally did not arouse suspicion from others.
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Wenhuan did not take Qin Shaoyou elsewhere. He looked closely into Qin Shaoyou's eyes in the corridor and asked first: "Did you lie about what you said to Yin Lishe before?"
"No."
After hearing Qin Shaoyou's answer, Xu Wenchen nodded with satisfaction without any doubt.
It is impossible for a person controlled by his crystal glasses to lie.
Xu Wenjian then asked: "Zuo Qianhu brought someone out from Shuanggui Village before. Do you know who that person is?"
"I don't know." Qin Shaoyou shook his head in reply.
When Zuo Qianhu took away Liu Shuyuan from the Demon Division of Mianyuan County, only a few people including Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youwei knew about it. Qin Shaoyou was not afraid that this scam would be seen through.
As long as he doesn't leak any clues at this moment, Xu Jian and even people from the King of Shu's line will believe his answer and will not cross-examine Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others.
After all, if he didn't know the inside story, what else could those 'little minions' know?
Xu Wenhuan still did not suspect that Qin Shaoyou was lying.
Because in his opinion, Qin Shaoyou should not know about this matter, and he just raised this question with the idea of trying his luck.
"Who is the person Zuo Qianhu took away? Why is it unclear? Could it be the person we are looking for..."
Thinking of this, Xu Wenhuan once again stretched out his hand to hold his crystal glasses and said in a deep voice: "If you have a chance, ask about this matter."
On the crystal glasses, the illusion of eyeballs appeared again, trying to hypnotize Qin Shaoyou and leave such a hypnotic instruction in his sea of consciousness.
These weird eyeballs still failed to affect Qin Shaoyou.
The cold air emanating from Turtle General Ling kept Qin Shaoyou in the sage time and his mind was extremely clear-headed.
But he pretended to be affected and said 'yes'.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Wenxuan began to ask about Cai Guizhong's appointment as the God of Mianyuan County.
He asked very detailed questions, which shows how seriously the people of Shu Palace take this matter.
Qin Shaoyou knew that the people sent by the Prince of Shu to Mianyuan County should have obtained some information in these days, so the answers he gave about Cai Guizhong's acquisition of the city god were almost all truthful.
When Xu Wen heard that Cai Guizhong had made a special trip to Qin Shaoyou to ask for a title before he became a city god, he suddenly became energetic and couldn't suppress his excitement and asked: "Are you really able to make a god?!"
