After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

As for Lao Zhao's works, as long as they are acceptable, Shen Yuelan will usually collect them. Just kidding, those are famous calligraphy and paintings. Shen Yuelan will have the confidence to brag about them in the future.

Gan Yuelong rolled her eyes at the little girl's behavior, and then she snatched a few pieces of calligraphy that were pretty good from Shen Yuelan's collection and kept them as her own collection. Even though she was chased all over the yard by Shen Yuelan, she did not return them to her.

In the end, it was Old Zhao, who was quite pleased with himself for seeing that his calligraphy and paintings were so popular, who calmed down the farce by promising the two that he would draw ten paintings for each of them.

When Shen Yuelan was standing in the courtyard painting, whenever she recalled the past, a smile would always appear on her clean and delicate face unconsciously. That gentle and pure smile stunned the two people who were peeping outside the door.

Who is there?

Huan Yan, who was grinding for Shen Yuelan, seemed to have heard some noise. She suddenly looked towards the door and issued a warning in the direction of the door.

The two people outside the door were startled by Huanyan's warning, and one of them, who looked like a child, was so scared that he fell to the ground.

Shen Yuelan didn't want to pay attention to them, but she suddenly heard that the two people vaguely mentioned the names Liu E and Gong Mei during their conversation. Oh my, this is not a coincidence, it's really like finding something without any effort after searching for it everywhere.

Shen Yuelan cleared her throat and adjusted her demeanor. After feeling that there was nothing wrong with her, she quickly called Huanyan and invited the two of them into the yard.

When the two men first entered the courtyard, they were a little scared, thinking that they had disturbed the noble and would be punished.

But after Shen Yuelan's consolation, the two gradually relaxed. They both looked young, one was a girl of 11 or 12 years old, and the other was a young man of 18 or 19 years old.

After confirmation by Shen Yuelan, the two people were indeed Liu E and Gong Mei who had traveled thousands of miles from Shu.

The two set out three years ago and went through many hardships and traveled for three years before finally arriving in Tokyo today.

At this time, Liu E was already twelve years old, and her eyebrows were already charming. No wonder Zhao Heng fell in love with her at first sight.

What is slightly different from historical records is that the relationship between Liu E and Gong Mei was more like brothers who fled together to escape famine rather than being a couple. In order to facilitate their journey, they became nominal husband and wife.

The information obtained during the chat with the two also confirmed Shen Yuelan's guess. This can also explain why Zhao Heng, a royal relative, would fall in love with Liu E, who was already married.

At this time, the young couple was still fantasizing about the wonderful life after entering Tokyo, and had no idea of the difficult days they would face in the future. Shen Yuelan had no intention of giving them any advice, and thought it was best to let things take their course.

The two asked Shen Yuelan for a few bowls of water to drink. Shen Yuelan also gave them some "cooked cakes", which are now called steamed buns, and sent them away. It was still early, and it was not the time to make close friends.

When Liu E was bidding farewell, Shen Yuelan's red pupils suddenly reacted, emitting an enchanting light again, and what triggered Shen Yuelan's main skill was a copper hairpin on Liu E's head.

When Liu E stood up, she saw Shen Yuelan staring at the hairpin on her head, so she took the initiative to introduce the origin of the hairpin. It was said to be left to her by her parents, and it was one of the few dowry that had not been snatched away.

The little girl asked cautiously whether Shen Yuelan liked her hairpin. Shen Yuelan chuckled, touched Liu E's little head, and explained that she just found the bronze hairpin novel.

Upon hearing this, Liu E smiled bitterly and said that poor people could not afford to wear gold and silver jewelry. Even if her family had had them, she would not be able to keep them after her parents died. She was already content with having a copper hairpin to tie her hair. Shen Yuelan nodded, said no more, and stood up to say goodbye.

After the two said goodbye again, they left the Taoist temple. However, what Shen Yuelan didn't know was that the man named Gong Mei looked back more than once after leaving the Taoist temple. Seeing this, Liu E said helplessly to her "husband":

[Brother, stop looking. It doesn't mean that Fairy Lan is a monk. Even if she is not, judging from her behavior, words, demeanor and temperament, she must be of noble birth. How can we, the lowly people, afford to marry her? You should think about where we should stay after arriving in Tokyo today, right?]

Upon hearing this, Gong Mei looked up to the sky and sighed, then resigned himself to his fate and continued on his way. Seeing this, Liu E behind him shook her head. Giving up so easily would not amount to anything great. It seemed that she had to find another way to make a living.

Liu E looked back at the ruined temple with a deep gaze. When she heard her husband calling her, she turned around and continued on her way.

After watching the two of them leave, Huan Yan couldn't bear it anymore and asked Shen Yuelan anxiously:

[Master, you clearly saw that the Xi demon was living on the copper hairpin that day, why didn't you take it down? ]

Upon hearing that, Shen Yuelan squatted down, hugged Huanyan, put her index finger on her lips, and made a "hush" sound to Huanyan.

He explained: [Huanyan, Grandpa Zhao is very good to us, right? Do you think you can bear to see Grandpa Zhao die alone? Can we take care of him until the end of his life? This time, let's pretend we didn't find anything, okay? I beg Huanyan for help, okay? ]

Huanyan was quite hesitant when she heard this, but finally succumbed to her master's coquettish attack, touched her nose and pretended nothing happened.

Chapter 16: Really Accurate in Judging People

In the evening, Lao Zhao and his group came back leisurely, bringing Shen Yuelan three jars of lychee wine and two pounds of braised pork. Shen Yuelan sniffed the wine and found that it indeed had the fragrance of lychees.

Shen Yuelan tasted the braised pork again, smacked it a few times, and felt that it was not chewy enough. She complained that it was not braised beef, and then was given a slap on the face by Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao laughed and scolded:

[What time do you think it is now? Is it the prosperous Tang Dynasty? There is still a war going on. The oxen are very precious. It is good enough to have some pork and mutton to eat. Stop being picky. Have you done your homework? Let me see.]

Shen Yuelan shrank her neck after being scolded, and quickly brought the calligraphy and painting she had made today to Lao Zhao for inspection. Lao Zhao carefully looked at the flower and bird paintings made by Shen Yuelan for a long while, frowning. This is how he evaluated Shen Yuelan's calligraphy and painting.

[Your painting today is not bad, it can be said that both the form and the spirit are well-matched, but the painting is ruined by the words. Although your words look strong and sharp, and the side strokes are like orchids, they are actually soft and frivolous, and the strokes are erratic. Alas, it is really like a golden outer layer with rotten inner layers. It is not good and needs to be changed.]

Shen Yuelan was quite amazed by the evaluation. The ancestor is the ancestor. He can analyze a person thoroughly just from the words. Today, Shen Yuelan was a little lazy because of the visit of Liu E and the others, and did not paint herself.

Instead, he used the core of the enchantress to give Shen Yuelan a talent bonus, which was to directly use the same method used by Emperor Huizong of Song. Lao Zhao's evaluation seemed to be an evaluation of Shen Yuelan, but those who were familiar with the inside story knew that it was an evaluation of Emperor Daojun.

You're right, you're really good at judging people. Shen Yuelan silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart, but openly she had to take the blame for the ancestor on behalf of Emperor Daojun.

After being scolded, Shen Yuelan finally received her share of food, while Xiao Huanyan beside her had already finished eating. It turned out that her family status was the lowest, so she had to be the last one to eat at the table. Shen Yuelan stuffed meat into her mouth while thinking self-deprecatingly.

But speaking of Huanyan, did the old man still owe her a demon girl? Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered this. After dinner, she ran to ask the old man.

Old Zhao was a little confused at first, but after Shen Yuelan's repeated reminders, Old Zhao suddenly slapped his thigh and said in annoyance:

[Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it. Oh, the child has been buried for seven years. So, tomorrow morning, you and I will go out and dig the little thing out.]

My goodness, neither of the two people who were doing business together remembered that there was such a thing. If Shen Yuelan hadn't remembered it, the fate of that enchantress would probably have been the same as her original destiny, being buried forever in the wilderness.

Shen Yuelan rubbed her temples and felt a little headache, while Gan Yuelong, who followed her, seemed to be thinking about something, and finally left with a smile on her face.

After nightfall, Shen Yuelan sat in the yard drinking and admiring the moon. She saw from afar that Lao Zhao had gone to bed early because of tomorrow's matters, so she put down the book in her hand and walked towards Gan Yuelong's room.

Gan Yuelong, who was about to undress and go to sleep, saw Shen Yuelan, who rarely came to her room, and joked:

[Oh my, Captain, are you here to ask me for the punishment for breaking my oath that day? I know I have done something wrong, and I am waiting for you at any time.]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips, sat down at the tea table, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and retorted:

[Okay, okay, I'll stay here today. Wanchuan, go play with your sister Huanyan. Your master is very busy tonight.]

Upon hearing this, Wanchuan ignored Gan Yuelong's obstruction and ran into Huanyan's room with the quilt in his arms. When he left, he even closed the door considerately.

Seeing that Shen Yuelan had already started taking off her clothes, Gan Yuelong finally panicked and quickly changed the subject, asking Shen Yuelan what she was doing in her room so late at night.

Shen Yuelan rolled her eyes when she heard that. Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, she stopped undressing, sat down again, and told Gan Yuelong that she had come into contact with Liu E and her group today. Gan Yuelong lay on the bed, listening to Shen Yuelan's description of the two of them, and closed his eyes in deep thought.

As an elder, Gan Yuelong can analyze more information than Shen Yuelan in the same scene and words. For example, now, Gan Yuelong clearly feels that Zhangxian Mingsu, who is not well-known in history, and who can be called together with Empress Lü of Han Dynasty and Empress Wu of Tang Dynasty in history, and who personally created the "Substitute Prince" incident, is not an ordinary person.

The silversmith named Gong Mei was completely manipulated by him. Otherwise, let alone eleven or twelve years old, even eight or nine years old would be considered childbearing age in ancient times. Poor families would not care whether you were fully developed or not. Once you married into the family, you would be considered a wife.

Gan Yuelong rubbed her temples. As an experienced inspector with thousands of years of experience, she had long since heard the omissions in Shen Yuelan's description. The little girl was clearly hiding something.

Without asking, Gan Yuelong could guess roughly that the little girl's eyes were very sharp, and she had probably discovered the Tianxi demon sleeping on one of Liu E's objects. If Shen Yuelan took action directly today, then their trip to the Northern Song Dynasty would basically come to an end.

Gan Yuelong thought that there were only a few reasons why he didn't want to catch him. It was nothing more than that the little girl wanted to accompany Old Zhao till the last moment of his life; or maybe he hadn't stayed in the Northern Song Dynasty long enough and wanted to play for two more years.

Like Shen Yuelan, Gan Yuelong also wanted to enjoy this rare vacation, so he was too lazy to expose the bastard's lies. Anyway, as Gan Yuelong thought, the little girl's ability to observe the world was very powerful. If she wanted to catch the Tianxi demon, it was just a matter of whether she wanted to or not, not whether she could or could not.

After analyzing the current situation, Gan Yuelong began to talk about the temporary amnesia of Shen Yuelan and Lao Zhao this evening after Shen Yuelan reported the situation on her side.

Gan Yuelong told Shen Yuelan that the reason why the two of them completely forgot about the enchantress was the result of time correction. Generally speaking, a mere ordinary enchantress would not cause such a drastic reaction in the river of time.

At present, the only reasonable explanation is that Shen Yuelan won the jackpot. That enchantress is definitely a powerful old guy. Because she has been hiding in a time and space that does not belong to her for too long, she has been rejected by the Song Dynasty time and space, and the attempt was made to bury her completely.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan became excited at the thought that she was about to get a powerful helper. She took off her clothes again and pounced towards Gan Yuelong. Gan Yuelong was careless for a moment and didn't react in time, so she pounced on him.

Just when she thought she was going to be scolded by her boss, Gan Yuelong found that the little girl had fallen asleep on her body. Gan Yuelong blushed, but fortunately no one saw it.

Gan Yuelong couldn't say how she felt without being bothered by this or that, but she still felt a little lost. Looking at the guy sleeping soundly on her, Gan Yuelong could only secretly complain that it was another incompetent protagonist, and then she could only hug Shen Yuelan into the quilt and fall asleep with her in her arms.

Chapter 17: The Tomb of Emperor Yongchang

In the early hours of the morning, Shen Yuelan was awakened by Gan Yuelong while she was sleeping soundly. At first, Shen Yuelan thought that the Jin soldiers were coming, but later she realized that it was Lao Zhao who came to ask her to go dig out the evil girl together. Lao Zhao had already packed everything and had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a long time.

Shen Yuelan got up in a daze. Seeing this, she had to get up quickly, packed up hastily, and ran out with Huanyan. On the way, Shen Yuelan asked Lao Zhao about the origin of the enchantress. Lao Zhao scratched his head and said that he didn't know the details. The enchantress was in human form when she first appeared in his sight, so he didn't know what her true form looked like.

At that time, Zhao Da was at the peak of his career and was full of vigor and vitality. When he ascended the throne, the enchantress suddenly descended from the sky. Everyone was shocked and thought it was an auspicious sign from heaven, so Zhao Da worshipped her.

But slowly, people gradually discovered that this woman had no other magical properties except her youthful appearance, so they gradually forgot about her. The enchantress didn't care either and continued to eat and drink every day.

It was not until seven years ago, when Old Zhao faked his death, that people remembered the existence of this "Goddess of Heaven", so they buried her in the imperial mausoleum as Zhao Da's burial object, until today.

Before Shen Yuelan could sigh for the tragic fate of the enchantress, he suddenly realized that Lao Zhao was going to take him to rob his tomb. Shen Yuelan hurriedly advised:

[Old man, although that is your own mausoleum, the dead are the greatest. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this? You will still need it a hundred years later.]

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao said proudly:

[Little bastard, you still know that it is my mausoleum. Since it is my mausoleum, how I use it is my own business. Don't worry about it.]

Shen Yuelan touched her nose and continued to ask:

[No matter what, how do we get down? You have to tell me. You can't just dig a hole.]

Old Zhao rolled his eyes and cursed with a smile:

[You stupid girl, you want to dig a hole in my mausoleum. Now you are the only one who dares to think of doing this. Even my rebellious brother doesn't dare to do this.]

[I said, that is my mausoleum, and I know all the secret passages in it. We will go down through the secret passage this time. If we dig a hole like you said, it will take a long time, and you will be a guard for nothing.]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips and complained:

[You are quite proud. ]

[That's right, it turns out that I was quite prescient. ]

The old man and two children walked towards the secret passage of Yongchang Mausoleum while bickering with each other. The entrance of the secret passage was hidden on the bank of a small river called Wuluo River. In order to conceal it, the appearance was specially designed to look like a drainage facility.

The grandfather, grandson and his two grandsons sneaked in while there was no one around. The corridor was quite narrow at first, but after walking a certain distance, it became open. Only then did the three of them relax.

Shen Yuelan glanced at the sweat stains on Lao Zhao's forehead. It seemed that even if he entered his own mausoleum, he would feel a little guilty. As the three of them walked, Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered what happened to the Yongchang Mausoleum hundreds of years later, and suddenly she didn't want Lao Zhao to live in it a hundred years later.

Thanks to Emperor Daojun and his son, Zhao Da's Yongchang Mausoleum was looted twice by the Jin soldiers, damaged by Liu Yu and his son of the Pseudo-Qi Dynasty, and Zhao Da's body was even hung up by a tomb robber nicknamed "Red Lacquer Face" just for the gold and jade belt around his waist.

Shen Yuelan organized her words and asked Lao Zhao if there was a corpse in his tomb now. Lao Zhao said that of course there was, and it was his stand-in. After all, one has to do a complete performance.

Moreover, Old Zhao proudly told Shen Yuelan that he had put a kind of ink in the mouth of his substitute that could never be cleaned once it was stained. Anyone who dared to touch his body, even if it was fake, would pay the price with his life.

When Shen Yuelan heard this, she realized, oh, so that's how the tomb robber got his nickname, Vermilion Face.

She hurriedly asked Lao Zhao, since there is a dove in the bird's nest, where does he plan to rest after he has lived for a hundred years? Lao Zhao frowned when he heard this, and told Shen Yuelan that he actually hadn't decided where to go.

He had originally wanted to spend the rest of his life in that dilapidated temple and be buried here after his death. The dilapidated house could protect his body from wind and rain for two years, and he would not be able to control what happened after that. But then Shen Yuelan and the others came, and this plan no longer worked.

Shen Yuelan felt somewhat guilty when she heard this, so she racked her brains and came up with a suggestion that she thought was pretty good.

She said: [After you leave, I will take you back to Tianshui to settle down. It will be like returning to one’s roots.]

Old Zhao stopped and thought for a moment before agreeing with Shen Yuelan's suggestion. [Okay, when I die, I'll trouble you to take me back to my roots.]

After meeting in Tianshui, the three of them continued to move forward. After walking a short distance, they finally saw the main tomb chamber. Unlike the gloomy and dark place that Shen Yuelan had expected, the interior of Yongchang Mausoleum was quite warm. Hmm? Warm?

Shen Yuelan felt that she had an illusion that she could actually feel a sense of warmth in the tomb. However, when Shen Yuelan saw that Lao Zhao's face had turned blue with anger, Shen Yuelan discovered that her feeling just now was actually real.

Old Zhao, who was furious, suddenly yelled.

[Su Shang, you bastard, get out here! ]

The roar echoed in the tomb for a long time. Shen Yuelan felt that Zhao Er might receive a report about her elder brother's appearance tomorrow.

Along with the echo of Lao Zhao's voice, a heavy pushing and pulling sound was heard. Shen Yuelan looked closely and found that it was coming from Lao Zhao's coffin. The coffin lid was slowly pushed open, and a pair of jade-like hands stretched out from inside.

If she hadn't known in advance that there was a living creature in the tomb, Shen Yuelan felt that she might have run away long ago. It was too scary, even if she was in a [warm] tomb. Rather, it was precisely because of this style that the scene just now was even more weird.

[Ah~, who dares to trespass into the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty? Do you want to die? ]

A beautiful and pure girl, dressed in gauze and silk, slowly stood up from the coffin.

[Hmm? Hey, isn't this the little so-and-so from someone's family?]

The lovely enchantress, who had just been awakened by Lao Zhao's roar, was obviously still a little confused. She observed carefully for a long time before she recognized who Lao Zhao was.

[Ah, bah, hehe, isn't this His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty? What, have you had enough of staying in the underworld and missed us? Have you returned to visit us? Who is this person next to you, your newly born princess in the underworld? ]

Looking at the blue veins on Lao Zhao's forehead that had already bulged out in a criss-cross pattern, Shen Yuelan felt that if she didn't do something, she might not be able to get this enchantress.

[Um, Lao Zhao, don't bother with this guy. He's just a big shot. Go somewhere else first. I'll talk to him.]

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao snorted coldly, as if he was going to settle the score later. He swaggered into the ear chamber and went to check his burial objects.

Chapter 18: Emperor Shi Huang Mints Coins

Although Shen Yuelan saw that Lao Zhao had disappeared, she was still worried, so she asked Huanyan to go to the corridor to watch Lao Zhao and report back if he came back.

Thus, only Shen Yuelan and the charming girl lying on the edge of the coffin were left in the main tomb chamber. Shen Yuelan put away her harmless expression and showed her cold look again, staring at the woman in the coffin quietly.

When the girl in the coffin saw this, she knew she had met a tough guy, so she put away her dissolute face, climbed out of the coffin obediently, and stood in front of Shen Yuelan waiting to be questioned.

Not to mention, this little thing is really beautiful, with a beauty mole under her watery peach eyes. The gauze silk dress she wears is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the girl's good figure is faintly visible, which makes people imagine a lot.

Those long legs, as smooth as jade, were hidden under the hem of the dress, appearing and disappearing from time to time, which was very touching. Just standing there, without revealing anything and doing anything, Shen Yuelan was almost unable to control herself. What a stunning beauty she was.

Fortunately, Shen Yuelan was very good at expressing her feelings and managed to keep her composure. Otherwise, she really didn't know how it would end. Shen Yuelan cleared her throat and introduced her true identity to the girl in a cold voice.

[Hello, beautiful Miss Yaoji. I am the captain of the Yaobi Inspection Team in the Republican era. My name is Shen Yuelan. I heard about you when I was tracking down fugitives here. I initially judged that you do not seem to belong to this era.]
