Wu Shanchuan suddenly asked Xie Yan to have a banquet. Zhan Zhao saw the opportunity to investigate Wu Shanchuan and said he wanted to go together.

While chatting, Wang Chao ran in with an invitation and handed it to Zhan Zhao, saying that it was sent by the people from Wulong Village.

Zhan Zhao opened it and saw that the invitation was written by Wu Shanchuan himself. The general meaning was that he invited the Taixue and the Tang Sect to have a dinner party, and took this opportunity to apologize to Xie Yan and the Tang Sect. But Wu Shanchuan was afraid of embarrassment, so he wanted to ask Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who had a good relationship with both sides, to help mediate.

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook the invitation, "The opportunity is here!"

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Who from the Tang Sect he invited?"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao looked at the invitation again, but did not write it in detail.

Lin Yehuo curled his lips, "The people from the Tang Sect may not pay attention to him."

"Can't you?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Huo Feng curled his lips, "I may not be able to give me a good face if I go!"

"Wu Shanchuan wants to apologize to the younger sister. She is about to get married and will definitely not walk around. My godmother is old and I won't go." Wu Ye thought for a while, "There are only four brothers of the Tang family."

"Tang Si is the most honest of those four..." Lin Yehuo shook his head, "Everyone is enough to drink a pot of old Wu, don't make it boring for a while."

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Tang Sidao is honest?"

Lin Yehuo pointed to Bai Yutang, "Only the youngest and most capable people are not very careful..."

After saying that, the fifth master touched his chin, but the others found it very convincing.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "The four brothers of the Tang family are obviously easy to get along with."

"You are a Tang Sect's benefactor, of course those four brothers are nice to you." The fifth master also thought Lin Yehuo's words were reasonable, "In fact, Tang Datang San is very bad at provoking, Tang Er is the most difficult to deal with. Don't look at him who is gentle and smiling, Tang Si is indeed the honestest one."

Lin Yehuo added, "Often the family of children has more than three, and the old and the second one are the ones that are the least offensive!"

Everyone looked up and thought about these words.

Zhao Pu did it, "If my brothers are the boss, then Lao He ranks second..."

Everyone looked at He Yihang, who was sitting in the yard with a tea cup and drinking tea... for no reason, they felt it was very convincing!

There is still some time before the dinner, everyone is busy with their own business.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang went to the backyard to visit the bamboo garden where bamboo bears were raised, and found that most of the backyards of Kaifeng Prefecture had been flattened and even the stables were shoveled.

A large number of craftsmen were building bamboo sheds to build walls, and a group of old men with unique skills in the Magic Palace were busy with stone and wood carvings.

"What's this for?"

Zhan Zhao found Ma Chi Yanbi who was feeding horses by a temporary horse stand.

Yan Bi tilted his head, "Zhao & Zhao, don't you want to build a zoo?"

Zhan Zhao took a breath, "What zoo? Aren't you just building a bamboo garden to raise bamboo bears?"

Yan Bi looked at Bai Yutang beside Zhan Zhao.

The fifth master turned around and went to Xiao Sizi and his friends to watch the bamboo bear.

"Didn't Xiaobaitang dig a koi pond earlier?" Yan Bi told Zhan Zhao, "He gave a lot of money and said he wanted to renovate the back garden of Kaifeng Mansion. If you look at the drawings, he has painted it."

As he said that, Yan Bi took out a drawing for Zhan Zhao to show it.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide when he saw it, "Is this going to build an imperial garden?"

Yan Bi smiled and pointed to Zhan Zhao, "Xiaobaitang said that since they have already raised bamboo bears, the stables should be built better, and then Xiaowu and Yaoyao also have a place to play. A lot of cats in Kaifeng Prefecture? Just build a cat garden. There are turtles, small donkeys from Gongsun's family, and some peacocks, cranes, mandarin ducks, etc. There may be little tigers and dragons in the future... Also, the Demon King said a while ago that he would take seven little foxes to raise. Then the Fifth Master had asked for a few snow leopards from Kuangshi City before, and the Ninth Prince said he wanted to raise a black bear... The palace master bought two little alpacas from the Western Regions... The Lord of Lu Island sent more than a dozen deer and a pair of snow owls. By the way! There are not enough dog kennels in the Huofeng Hall, and some dogs wanted to raise them here."

Zhan Zhao felt his head buzzing, "You have asked Lord Bao if you have made such a big project..."

"I asked." Yan Bi nodded, "Mr. Bao is also very interested in the little black bear!"

Zhan Zhao was speechless, shook his head back to the front yard, thinking about it, and quickly drank the wedding banquet to send these grandparents back to the Demon Palace, otherwise they would have the support of Xiaobaitang, and they would have money and leisure, so they would be able to make trouble every day!

In the yard in front, several classmates from the Taixue School did not leave. A group of young talents gathered around a table and were reading books. In fact, they were accompanying Lin Xiao, who was upset.

Zhan Zhao also walked over and sat down. Xie Yan poured him a cup of tea and said, "Brother Zhan, I want to inquire about something."

Zhan Zhao nodded and waited for Xie Yan to ask.

Xie Yan pointed to the invitation sent by Wu Shanchuan, "This home site."

Zhan Zhao took a look and asked to post the address of the Wu family in Kaifeng Villa, which was located in the south of the city, near Shangtu Bridge.

"There are indeed many manors there." Zhan Zhao remembers that there is also a villa on Xiankong Island nearby.

Xie Yan held his chin and asked, "Wu Shanchuan is the sect of Kaishui Village, which is similar to Gaohe Village in the past. It is not an island that mainly deals in business like the Hebang Water Alliance, right?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, indeed.

"Even if he annexed Gaohe Village, water transportation requires a foundation, and those who can make money have been operating for more than ten years or even decades. He only has a fleet of ships." Xie Yan pointed to the address of the other courtyard on the invitation. "Every inch of land in Kaifeng is worth every inch. It would be nice if ordinary sects can buy a decent house. He actually has a manor in the city. Besides, my father runs a wharf on the canal of Hangzhou Prefecture, which is not affordable for ordinary people. I always think that the Wu family has a little too much money. Will it be wrong?"

Zhan Zhao also thought about it after hearing this - indeed, Wujiazhai was just a small sect in the past, and it was located in the southwest. Why did he suddenly become a nouveau riche recently? He came to Kaifeng to buy a house and then went to Jiangnan to buy a wharf. Gaohezhai was just an empty shell. Wu Shanchuan took his disciples and didn't necessarily charge more money... How could he get rich?

"Wu Shanchuan said he wanted to buy a dock and my father ignored him. There are two possibilities. One is that he is lying, while the other is that my father also thinks that his money is unknown, so he doesn't interact with him more."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "How can we get rich overnight?"

Everyone stared at Zhan Zhao.

It happened that Bai Yutang walked in from outside.

Xie Yan and others saw Bai Yutang again, and several talented men visited Zhan Zhao together, "Just... marry or marry a wealthy family..."

Zhan Zhao gave a few people a blank look.

The fifth master came over and sat down. He didn't know if he heard it just now, so he took Zhan Zhao's cup to drink tea.

"Getting rich overnight is not a sudden fortune." Pang Yu has also been quite knowledgeable about this, "Have he dug up a treasure map or something..."

Everyone was chatting, and Lin Xiao, who had been silent, suddenly frowned, "When it comes to treasure maps and docks... I suddenly remembered something."

"It has something to do with the big, small, Changsu and the others?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Maybe there..." Lin Xiao said, "Big Changsu, Little Changsu and Su Yun both like to collect paintings."

"What then?" Bao Yan was curious, what happened to Ai Jiaohua?

Lin Xiao pointed at himself, "But they never accept my paintings."

Everyone was stunned and thought, yes! Why don’t Lin Xiao take pictures if you love to collect paintings? How many collectors in Kaifeng City are bleeding from their heads for Lin Xiao’s painting!

"Then what paintings do they collect?" asked the fifth master.

"Collection of landscape paintings." Lin Xiao recalled, "It was mostly landscape paintings like embankments, mudflats and docks. My godmother traveled around the world. Whenever she went there, they liked to find some painting shops to collect paintings, and Su Yun also often went there."

"Are you looking for something?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Do you know where the piers in your father's Jiangnan area are located?" Bai Yutang asked Xie Yan.

Xie Yan asked Shutong to ask Lord Bao for a water transportation map in the Jiangnan area.

Shutong went there for a while and then came back with the picture.

Xie Yan spread the drawings on the table and took a pen to draw out the locations of several docks.

"Strange." After all, the fifth master has lived in Xiankong Island for a long time and is most familiar with water transportation. "This is not a pier in a very good location!"

Xie Yan also nodded, "My father didn't intend to buy and sell the docks. Most of them were used by others to pay off the debt. In my memory, the location was not good. So if Wu Shanchuan wanted to buy it, my father had no reason not to sell it to him."

"But it's worth buying such a dock at a high price and getting close to it...?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

The fifth master shook his head, "It may be that there are other plans."

"Wu Shanchuan is interested in the wharf, and the big and small Changsu and the others seem to be interested in it too." Pang Yu poked Lin Xiao, "Have you seen Wu Shanchuan before?"

Lin Xiao held his chin and recalled that people who are good at calligraphy and painting usually have a good memory, but when Lin Xiao was young, he often was on Shen Yuelian's boat. There were too many people coming and going in and out of the Yuelian Pavilion, and he couldn't remember it, and he didn't often stay with Big Changsu and Little Changsu."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao suddenly took out the long scroll he drew when he was traveling to the lake.

This scroll was created by many students from the Imperial Academy. It was planned to be given to Long Qiaoguang and Tang Xiaomei as a gift, but it was almost framed.

Lin Xiao opened the scroll and pointed to the five dragon badges on the painting boats of Wulong Village in the painting and said, "This... I may have seen this when I was a child, but it was not five dragons, but like five people put together..."

Lin Xiao said that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also thought of what the White Dragon King said before, the evil god Qiu, the Five Genshin Impact God believed in at that time.

"Where did you see it when you were a child?" Pang Yu helped take out the four treasures of the study and "Draw it and take a look?"

"No need to draw, I'm there!" Lin Xiao stood up, "I know why Big Changsu and Little Changsu don't like me anymore!"

After saying that, he ran out of the yard.

Everyone hurriedly followed him out and rushed to Yuelian Pavilion together.

...

There was such a big deal in Yuelian Pavilion, so naturally I couldn't do business these days. The Imperial City Army and the Yabos sealed and locked up the ship. All the people under the boat could not go up. If the people on the boat had to go out, they had to be accompanied by the Yabos when they went out.

Shen Yuelian was upset all night last night. After all, she was a little older. She was sad and angry for a while. She fell asleep for a while and felt a headache when she got up.

Ximen Yao was with her side to take care of her.

Shen Yuelian was leaning on the bed to drink tea, and was quite worried. She asked Ximen Yao, "Will there be so many chaos in Yuelian Pavilion affect Xiao'er's study in the Imperial Academy? This child has a bright future, so don't be delayed by her godmother."

Ximen Yao comforted her, telling her not to worry, and just wait until Kaifeng Mansion solves the case, and told her not to say this in front of Lin Xiao, the child should be angry.

The mother and son were talking when they heard the sound of footsteps.
