sent Tang Luozhi back to Xiuqifang and successfully got Tang Luozhi's library card.

After what happened just now, Zhou Ze originally planned to persuade Lu Jiu not to get involved in this matter again, after all, the two of them almost confessed to the west of the city just now.

Lu Jiu didn't refuse this, but just said that things have to start and end, and they have to go to Qingding Public School to take a look.

Zhou Ze thought about it and didn't say anything more.

After being frightened for so long, if he didn't gain anything, he was also unwilling.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and when I saw the bronze statue of Zheng Li at the door, I was really uncomfortable......"

Half an hour later, standing at the gate of the public school, Zhou Ze looked up at the nearly two-meter-high bronze statue in front of him, and his face was full of emotion.

"It reminds me of running in the academy at sunset, which was my lost youth. ”

"Isn't that because you skipped class, your father chased half of the school with a rattan, but you were out of the 'limelight' because of this back then. ”

Although the predecessor and Zhou Ze were not in the same class, they were also from the same school, and Lu Jiu ruthlessly debunked Zhou Ze's "memories of youth", but his sight was also attracted by the bronze statue standing at the gate of the college.

Zheng Li, one of the major contributors to the industrial development of the Shuoming Dynasty in the past 100 years.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a genius inventor or theorist, but a gifted navigator.

That's right, unlike the well-known industrial revolution process in Lu Jiu's previous life, the industrial development of the Shuoming Empire was not the invention of some kind of machine, nor was it a change in policy, but an unprecedented sailing operation!

It was the first prehistoric relic discovered by Zheng Li in the Boundless Sea that brought about a miraculous evolution for this ancient Eastern dynasty, and also ushered in the Age of Discovery, which continues to this day, influencing the development of various countries on the continent, and even changing the world.

To put it simply, navigators from all over the world, starting with Zheng Li's voyage to the Boundless Sea, discovered a large number of relics of prehistoric civilization in the depths of the Boundless Sea.

As a result, the technology tree of this world is not only crooked, but no one wants to reverse it, so that since Zheng Li returned from the depths of the boundless sea, the technology of this era has completely departed from the trajectory it should have, like a bear child wearing open crotch pants, running wild on another broken and mysterious road......

chatting about some and not, shuttling among the students on their lunch break.

Both of them used to study here, so they naturally knew the location of the library very well, and it didn't take long to reach the door.

"Those are all documents deposited here by the county government, and non-government personnel are not allowed to consult them, don't you know this rule?"

The library keeper who had just opened the food box looked at the two of them in surprise, poked a quail egg with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, waved his hand and said,

"Hurry up, don't disturb me for lunch. ”

"It's not that we want to see it, it's mainly Miss Tang, that is, Mr. Tang Jingyi's daughter, who entrusted us to come over to check some information, saying that it is of any special use, you know, it is inconvenient for her to go out now. ”

Handing over the library card belonging to Tang Luozhi in his hand, Lu Jiu was glad that he had made another preparation.

"It's indeed Lochi's library card...... Alas, this kid must have been having a hard time lately. ”

Obviously, this library card is more useful than Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze combined, the administrator put down the chopsticks, sighed gloomily, and directly took a bunch of keys and put them in front of the table.

"Since Luo Zhi entrusted you to come, I will give you convenience, the county will be in the compartment in the library, count the third key from left to right, remember to handle it gently, not even a piece of paper can be brought out!"

Lu Jiu picked up the key, thanked him, and took Zhou Ze to the compartment quickly, the place inside was not big, but there were a lot of books stored, after all, the regulations for revising the county chronicles were promulgated by the imperial court decades ago, and there were naturally a lot of things to record over the years, and they also needed to be updated and repaired by someone in real time, otherwise they would not be specially stored in the library of the public school.

Fortunately, there are not many villages and towns in Qingding County, and the revision of official documents such as county records is extremely exquisite, Lu Jiu just glanced at the wooden frame, and Lu Jiu saw several books marked with the books of Shexiang Town on the spine.

"The year of the accident in Shexiang Town was the twentieth year of Shenglong, so it should seem like the latest one. ”

Zhou Ze stepped forward as he spoke, pulled out the latest one, turned directly to the last page, glanced up and down, his expression was stunned at first, and then he showed a little helplessness, and turned the page towards Lu Jiu.

"Lao Lu, our trip has been in vain, the county Zhishenglong of Shexiang Town stopped in the spring of the twentieth year, and no one remembers what happened at that time...... We should have thought that what happened at that time was too appalling, it was the news that it was blocked by the imperial court, and Shexiang Town has become a deserted town since that incident, so naturally there is no need to compile county chronicles. ”

"I know, so I didn't think I could rely on the county records to know the details of the case three years ago. ”

took down the other two records about Shexiang Town on the wooden shelf, moved a few steps to the side and sat on the chair in the compartment, Lu Jiu continued,

"The prison suddenly attacked this town three years ago, there must be a reason, revenge is definitely not talked about, in my opinion there is only one possibility, there is something in Shexiang Town that attracts these Jiangyang thieves, so what we have to do is to find out what is special about Shexiang Town compared to other towns!"

What can be so special about a small remote mountain town?

Not to mention, it really made Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze discover two incidents that were specially marked in the county annals.

In the fifteenth year of Shenglong, a special mineral deposit was excavated in the mountains near Shexiang Town, called Chiwu Mine, its ore material is particularly special, rare in the world, which attracts craftsmen from all walks of life, ore scholars gather here, but the number of mineral deposits is very small, and it is exhausted in just over half a month.

In the eighteenth year of Shenglong, on July 10, there were snakes and beasts roaring in the mountains near Shexiang Town at night, resounding throughout the town and a radius of three miles, and then there were people from Jing'an Division of Qingding City to investigate, and there was no trace of snakes and beasts, and no result was to return.

"The heterosche ore was mined that year, in the style of the imperial court mining team, it must have been searched in the nearby mountains after mining, and the prison was obviously not rushing here, otherwise they should have robbed the warehouse where the helasite was stored, as for the second thing, the rural legend is just that, Jing Yesi finally went to check and there was nothing, what did these thieves go there for?,"

Stuffing the book in his hand back on the shelf, Zhou Ze looked at Lu Jiu, who was still recording information, and couldn't help but say,

"God knows, we are responsible for writing down these things, and then report them after sorting out the affairs of She Xiangzhen, as for whether to publish it, it is a headache for the editor-in-chief. ”

Putting away the notepad and pencils, Lu Jiu said so, thinking about the information he had just found.
