Melody of Golden Age 长乐曲 Episode 26

Yan Xing asked Shen Du when he learned that the rattan piglet was made by her, and Shen Du revealed that he had noticed it at that time. Yan Xing recalled that because of the joy brought by her father's return, she had no time to care about anything else, including the agreement with Shen Du. She explained that she had tried to visit secretly but was unable to do so because she was discovered. Shen Du lamented that Yan Xing's absence made him feel even more disappointed, and the closure of the dog hole symbolized the unfinished fate between them.

When Yan Xing and Shen Du return, Mo Qian urgently informs Pan Chi that the reception banquet needs to be rescheduled because Pan Chi has discovered important clues to the headless ghost case. Yan Xing is considerate of the overall situation and advises Mo Qianzhi not to worry. Pan Chi revealed that the mystery of the deceased Li Kaixiang's property was found in the hands of his neighbor Liu Zongyuan, and Liu disappeared after the incident, leaving many doubts. Shen Du concluded that Liu Zongyuan should not travel far if the property was not moved, so he ordered Mo Qianzhi to control the city gate and vowed to capture this man. Mo Qianzhi agreed.

Shen Du went to the scene to assist. Before leaving, he told Yan Xing that he might be returning very late and there was no need to wait. Yan Xing and Pan Chi went to the prison to visit Li Kaixiang's younger brother Li Kairui. Li Kairui blamed himself, saying that the invitation to dinner was the source of trouble, which unexpectedly led to tragedy. Yan Xing understood that Li Kairui had reservations, so he used a trick to threaten him with a half-faced ghost to force him to reveal the truth.

Yan Xing and Shen Du returned home after a long journey, but they heard Mo Qian's urgent report that because Pan Chi had made a breakthrough discovery in the headless ghost case, the planned reception banquet had to be temporarily canceled. Yan Xing understands justice well and advises Mo Qianzhi to focus on the case. Pan Chi revealed that all the deceased Li Kaixiang's huge property was transferred to his neighbor Liu Zongyuan, and after Li's death, Liu disappeared mysteriously. There must be something fishy in this. Shen Du analyzed calmly and believed that as long as the property was not moved, Liu Zongyuan should not be able to escape, so he decisively ordered Mo Qianzhi to set up a dragnet at the city gate, vowing to capture Liu Zongyuan. Mo Qianzhi took the order and left quickly.

Shen Du immediately rushed to the scene to assist in the investigation. Before leaving, he gently told Yan Xing that he might return late due to busy work, so that she did not have to wait. Yan Xing nodded in agreement, and then went to the cell with Pan Chi to visit Li Kaixiang's younger brother Li Kairui. Facing Yan Xing's inquiry, Li Kairui showed regret and admitted that he invited Li Kaixiang and Liu Zongyuan to have dinner, but unexpectedly, it indirectly led to this tragedy. Yan Xing was keenly aware that Li Kairui seemed to be hiding something in his words, so he cleverly used the legend of the half-faced ghost to frighten him, forcing Li Kairui to finally relent and prepare to tell the whole story.

After Yan Xing returned, she carefully examined Liu Zongyuan's body and was shocked to find that his liver had been brutally removed and there were blue writings engraved on the body. The mention of the Humoth Gate incident made her deeply aware that Ji Dafu might have something deeper hidden behind him. conspiracy. Yan Xing firmly believes that Ji Dafu is not a gullible person, and there must be something fishy about this matter.

In the process of tracking Liu Zongyuan, Yan Xing and his party were suddenly intercepted. The other party showed his token and turned out to be Sun Tan, the leader of the bad guys in the southwest region. Sun Tan explained that they had been monitoring Liu Zongyuan for a long time because he was involved in an underground drug case. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they intervened to stop him. After hearing this, Yan Xing decided to cooperate with Sun Tan to uncover the truth together.

Everyone changed their clothes and sneaked into the venue. Yan Xing used the bet as bait. Although she knew that the other party was cheating, with Shen Du's secret help and by changing the dice, she hit the bet and won a thousand taels of silver. However, this move attracted the attention of duke shop owner Ji Dafu. Kee Tai Fook appears, with a threatening tone in his voice, warning them that they may not be able to escape unscathed if they win such a huge sum of money on his territory. Yan Xing's expression remained unchanged, but he was already secretly planning how to deal with the next challenge.
