Everyone looked at him.

"Do you know how Cao Kui's wife died?" Duo Qi asked.

"Didn't you say that he died of illness?" Zhao Pu asked, "The third brother said that his wife passed away before he came to Kaifeng."

"The Marquis has never met his wife. The only one he has met may be me." Duo Qi smiled slightly, "His wife did die of lung disease."

Gongsun nodded. Lung disease was indeed a common disease, so he asked, "What does it have to do with the case?"

"His wife is older than him." Duo Qi's tone of voice was somewhat meaningful.

Xiaoliangzi is as big as a brat as always, "Oh, is the female college student holding a gold brick?"

Lin Yehuo reached out and grabbed his ears.

"It's normal to be three or four years older... What if you are fifty or sixty years older?"

When Duo Qi said a word, everyone gasped.

"ha?"

"Or... seventy or eighty?"

Duo Qi looked at the stunned young people around him with his teacup in hand, and was a little bit dumbfounded, "When I first saw his wife, I thought they were a perfect match. His wife was younger than him, and she was very talented and pretty.

He was quite shy and didn't talk much. Not long after, he was said to be ill. Cao Kui asked me if there was any reliable doctor, so I introduced him to a doctor who was a friend of mine. My friend later followed him

When I talked about this matter, I also praised Cao Kui for his filial piety and caring for his seriously ill old mother. It's a pity that the old lady has a serious lung disease and there is no way to save her."

"Is it his wife or his mother who is sick?" Zhao Pu was confused.

"Isn't it? I was confused at that time." Duo Qi smiled bitterly, "Later I went to his house to see him. He happened to go out, so I sat in the yard and waited for him. Then I heard someone coughing in the backyard. Then

The coughing sound sounds very old.”

"I was also very curious, so I followed the sound of coughing to the backyard to take a look... and I saw an old woman lying on a hospital bed in the yard. She probably came out to bask in the sun when the weather was nice... She looked so old.

She is almost over a hundred years old." Duo Qi shook his head, "But even though he is old, he looks familiar to her. Her dress and demeanor make her the daughter-in-law of Cao Kui and my younger siblings."

"Is this because the internal energy has been lost?" Yao Changtian asked, "That woman must be very old. It's just that her internal energy was deep at first, so she couldn't tell her age. But then the internal energy was lost, and the lung disease was also caused by the old organs.

She was exhausted, so she died of old age. She may not only be fifty or sixty years older than Cao Kui, but maybe hundreds of years older."

Zhan Zhao and others also nodded.

"I am also a martial arts practitioner after all. Although I was young at the time, I roughly guessed that this was the case." Duo Qi said, "After Cao Kui came back, he explained to me that they really loved each other and hoped that I could keep it a secret.

There are too many prejudices in the world. His wife's time is short and she just wants to live in peace. Naturally, I will keep the secret for him. Not long after, his wife passed away. At that time, Cao Kui was still young and talented. Many people came to him and wanted to tell him.

I wanted to kiss him, but he refused. At that time, I admired him quite a lot and felt that he was deeply affectionate, but..."

"Just what?"

Everyone felt that this case was too gossipy. One moment, Lu Tianhan's old lover, another moment, he fell in love with him forever, which was much more interesting than some salt secret book.

"I think Cao Kui is a bit weird." Duo Qi frowned and said to himself, "Sometimes, I suddenly feel that he is actually very old, but sometimes, I feel that he is just a young man...

…After we arrived in Kaifeng and he won the first prize in martial arts, we gradually became estranged from each other. He climbed up very fast and we had less contact with each other."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he asked Gongsun, "Sir, have you performed an autopsy on Cao Kui?"

Gongsun nodded, "After testing, he is normal and looks the same age."

"Doro said before that his martial arts has deteriorated a lot." Fifth Master was still more attentive, "If Cao Kui won the first prize in martial arts back then, it means that his martial arts should be very high."

"This is also something I feel is not quite right." Duo Qi sighed, "According to what I know about Cao Kui, his martial arts are very average. When he took part in the martial arts test, I thought it would be difficult for him to get into the top ten, but I didn't expect that he actually won.

Number one scholar."

After hearing this, everyone was a bit open-minded, and all kinds of ideas came to mind.

Zhao Puduoqi asked, "Speaking of which...which sect does he come from?"

Duo Qi shook his head, "I don't know. He only said that he studied with a hermit for several years. It's quite mysterious."

"Will there be two people?"

Finally, Gongsun, who knew nothing about martial arts, asked what everyone was thinking.

"Could it be that one is older and the other is younger?" Lin Yehuo also became excited, "The older one and the wife are a couple, the younger one is a substitute, and the younger one will die!"

"It seems to make sense..."

"But what is the purpose of spending so much effort?" Bai Yutang couldn't figure it out, "You have already become a lieutenant, and you have been an official for 20 to 30 years, which is considered a career... and you will die like this.

Yes, what are you planning?"

Zhan Zhao also scratched his head, "I can't figure it out! I'm so hungry!"

The fifth master looked at Zhan Zhao, who was a little wilted, and realized that... the cat didn't feel like he had eaten well in the past few days.

Yao Changtian nodded while holding the cup, "Well, it's passed down from family to family. Yin Hou also wilts his head and becomes droopy before he's full."

Zhan Zhao raised his head and asked, "My grandpa?"

"Hmm." The White Ghost King thought for a while, "Speaking of which, we were just passing through Shuzhong back then. If your grandpa hadn't said he was hungry and ran to the city to eat, he wouldn't have encountered the corpse beast attacking the city. Yutang's grandpa also

I won’t meet Su Jiugu..."

Having said this, Yao Changtian squinted his eyes, touched his chest and said to himself, "So, it's all the fault of those two soy saucers, you still face them all day long!"

Just when Zhan Zhao was about to defend his grandfather, Yao Changtian suddenly tilted his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Where is the body of that Taiwei Cao Kui?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and Gongsun pointed at the widow making a house.

"Let me take a look." Yao Changtian stood up and ran to the widow's room.

Zhan Zhao and others quickly followed.

Almost at the same time, Lu Tianhan and the others from the back room also came out. Lu Tianhan must have heard the conversation among the people in the yard and remembered to see Cao Kui's body.

"Have you thought of something?" Lu Tianhan asked Yao Changtian.

The White Ghost King nodded again and again, "Maybe! Isn't it the corpse king who faked the corpse?"

The two old men ran into the widow's house together.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both look at Yin Hou and Tianzun - what's going on?

Tianzun shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Zhan Zhao wondered, "By the way, didn't you go to Shuzhong together? Why do you two feel that you didn't go to the same Shuzhong as they did?"

Tianzun pointed at Yin Hou, "It's because this old ghost keeps saying he's hungry all the time, so I go out to restaurants with him! Your grandpa is just like you and can't move his legs after seeing Sichuan food!"

Yin Hou looked at Tianzun, "It's as if you haven't eaten or drank! You also said that you want to disband the Tianshan sect and establish a hot pot sect!"

The Fifth Master sounded a little scared - he was in danger of becoming the successor of the hotpot sect...

The two elders were arguing, but Lu Tianhan and Yao Changtian, who had entered the widow's house, had already run out together.

"What the hell!" Yao Changtian muttered, "He is really the King of Corpses."

Lu Tianhan also nodded, "I clearly killed him back then."

…

The two of them chatted with each other, leaving the others confused.

The Fifth Master interrupted them and asked, "Cao Kui is the Corpse King?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou are still moving forward - who is the Corpse King?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at them with disgust - you two went to Shuzhong just to eat hot pot, right?

Zhao Pu asked Zhe Ying to find Su Jiugu.

Jiu Gu stared at Cao Kui's body for a long time, not sure, "Is he the Corpse King? A bit like..."

"Speaking of which, the Corpse King is from your Maoshan sect, right?"

Lu Tianhan and Yao Changtian made shocking remarks again.

Tianzun and Yin Hou were also curious - I bet the corpse beasts besieging the city were the result of internal strife in your Maoshan sect!

Zhan Zhao and others were speechless - these two old men were even less reliable when they were young than they are now!

"The Corpse King and my master should be from the same sect." Su Jiugu said.

"So it's your uncle?"

Su Jiugu shook her head, "The Maoshan sect is very complicated, especially my master's generation. I don't know many people."

Zhan Zhao looked at everyone - Zhai Yue had no idea when he and Tao Ming separated. Does the Maoshan sect have any secrets?

"Otherwise..." Lin Yehuo suggested, "What happened in the corpse beast case back then? Let's talk about it in detail?"

When everyone nodded, Zhan Zhao and Yin Hou suddenly raised their hands and said in unison, "Let's chat while we eat..."

After saying that, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other. Yin Hou smiled and reached out to touch his grandson's head, "Yeah, I know you are hungry."

Look up to the sky.

Coincidentally, when everyone was preparing to go out for dinner, Ge Qing ran over and conveyed a message. Zhao Zhen heard that several old men had arrived, so he invited everyone into the palace for dinner. In addition, Zhao Zhen sent someone to check on Cao Zhen.
