Putting aside the question of whether this person is really meticulous or whether others have other plans, Xu Hui went straight to the point, without any subtle meaning, and asked neatly: "Where is that secret letter?" Can you lend me a look? ”

Li Zhun took out the secret letter that had been kept close to him and brought his body temperature from his arms, and handed it to Xu Hui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xu Hui opened the scrolled book, only to see that the thin book, which was about two feet square, was full of numbers such as Sanjiuwu Ersansanqiwu, without any pattern and no trace.

After reading the secret letter three times, reciting it from beginning to end, Xu Hui closed his eyes, held the book in his left hand, and gently tapped the table with his right index finger. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said with some regret, "Failed." ”

Seeing this, Lin Xin's heart itched, and seeing that Xu Hui was young and looked quite easy to speak, he couldn't help but ask: "The girl is ......?"

"There are many strange codes in the world, but if they are connected by letters, and a string of numbers are written on them, they will never deviate from their origins." Xu Hui said lightly, "Take a book and use it as the original code, and the numbers are in the order of taking words." Although there are many methods, there are no more than a few kinds - one is a single column of words, which is sorted and counted; Second, there are books in the ranks; Third, the number jumps. Of these, the third one is the most irregular and the most difficult to find, so I tried the first two hastily with a fluke mentality. ”

Hearing her say this, Lin Xin couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "There are thousands of books in the world, not to mention tens of millions, girls are ...... in such a short time"

When Xu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Ji Cheng thinks too highly of me, I just narrowed down the scope and tried a few books a little." ”

Seeing that Lin Xin didn't hide his curiosity at all, even Li Zhun turned his gaze, Xu Hui didn't mean silk, so he pointed to the secret letter and said: "There are so many numbers and information contained in it, and the information worthy of being passed on by secret letters is nothing more than those kinds." If what I expected is right, what is written on this secret letter should be the situation of the garrison inside and outside Huguan County, as well as the location of the granary, the government and other places. So I first recalled the classics I had seen, and recited all the classics that had appeared slightly obscure and were more familiar. ”

Lin Xin and Li Huai were quite convinced of her judgment, so they nodded and waited for Xu Hui to continue. Xu Hui also lived up to their expectations, and said: "In order to better investigate and make detailed work, my grandfather gathered the wisdom of his predecessors to divide the town into a chessboard and set up a fang. Anyone can only move around the area that matches their identity, and if they don't have a warrant, if they are caught by a patrol soldier, they will be immediately imprisoned and interrogated, and there is no way to get out without taking off a layer of skin. Therefore, the leader of the intermediary would rather spend a little time translating it into a code word and then have the person who received the secret letter translate it back, rather than directly draw a picture and expose himself. In this way, it is very important in the choice of code words. ”

Huguan, as a military stronghold of Shangdang County, is extremely strict against fine work, and the Lifang system is naturally implemented very thoroughly. Once you get the full map of the pot drawn by others, even if the other party has only drawn a rough sketch and has undergone professional training, you can roughly deduce whether the other party is a single person or multiple people, and what position it is in, so powerful that you can also deduce the current identity of the other party.

"In between, one must be cautious, the second must be bold, and the third must be decisive." Xu Hui put the book aside, and with a calm but determined attitude, he concluded, "People like me, my grandfather, and my brother, who have read and will never forget, although there are people in the world, they are quite difficult to find, let alone have such talents, they will not ...... In order to contact the intermittent person, it is necessary to memorize the book from which the code words come from, and it can be seen that the intermediate's behavior of preferring to write rather than draw shows that the other party, or the leader of the other party, is a person who is overly cautious. And such people often have a problem, that is, they are easy to be suspicious. This kind of person, even if everything is arranged flawlessly, has to see it several times in person, otherwise he will be restless and feel that something is wrong. ”

When it comes to this, how can Lin Xin not understand? So he slapped his chest with a folding fan, and continued: "Because of his character, the book from which the code comes should be more common, and even in the bookstore, he can flip through it for a moment by paying one or two coppers, so that he can check and recite it silently at any time." ”

Xu Hui lightly bowed his head and affirmed Lin Xin's statement: "Although I don't know if it's correct, I'm afraid this guess is not far from ten." I sorted them by word and quickly compared common classics such as "Analects", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Yi", and "Commentary on the Book of Songs", but found nothing. For now, the only way to do this is to keep an eye on the bookstore and secretly monitor suspicious people to see if you can find the flaws of the other party! ”

Although she said this, she did not see the slightest frustration, after all, even if she knew which book the other party was holding as the original code word, it was very difficult to decipher it without knowing how the other party's code word was set up. The reason why she did this was just a fluke and a random try, and the success was the best, and it was just a pity that she didn't succeed. Because, she has found another way to find out the identity of the leader of the other party - the bookstore.

Xu Hui didn't care who the dead man was, because she knew that there was no point in tracking down this person's identity - not to mention that the identity of the hidden household was too difficult to check, even if it was easy to check, it was estimated that the enemy had done a seamless job, and it was just a waste of manpower to investigate from this aspect. However, she dared to be sure that with such important information, it was impossible for the leader of the intermediary to ignore it. In her opinion, the deceased was just someone else who was in charge of running errands, writing secret letters, and leading the group. What is the identity of this person, and whether it can be quickly found out, is the key to the problem.

Lin Xin is accustomed to the three religions and nine streams, and has a set of spies and anti-spies, so he questioned when he heard the words: "Nowadays, most of them are in groups of three, and the main knows the deputy identity, and the deputy knows the side identity. Even if you grab the main room, you can only ask about the whereabouts of one more person, and the group of people next to you has not heard from it, if the other party also finds out that someone is following you next to the bookstore...... I'm afraid that there is a suspicion of startling the snake! ”

Xu Hui picked up the book again, looked at it for a while, and then shook his head lightly and said: "The granary, the government, the craftsman and other places are located in different directions in Huguan County. Under the limitation of the Lifang system, only three people are not enough to find out so much information, and there must be more than ten people under this master's hand. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Hui frowned and asked Lin Xin: "Uncle Ji Cheng, do you know the officials of Huguan, has anyone taken in the outer room?" ”

When she said this, she was frank and open, and there was no trace of reserve and shyness, but Lin Xin was startled. This god-like and ruffian-like figure stared at Xu Hui speechlessly for a cup of tea, until Li Zhun coughed, he came back to his senses, embarrassed and hesitantly said: "There are indeed two or three, I don't know ...... girl."

"Go and check them and the people they brought with them." Xu Hui said without hesitation, "This is also a clue." ”

The reason why she judged this way is also reasonable-she wants to get information from a man's mouth, and she has tried and tried many times. Wine and money, I'm afraid that when the matter first came out, Lin Xin checked it, and it was Xu Huicai who just took out the word "color" to talk about things.

The strict concubine system in this era ensured the degree of plagiarism of the main wife, and many men had a great deal with a beautiful maid today, and tomorrow they would know that she was sent out, or even sold directly to the kiln; hooks up with a romantic lady, and may be stabbed to death by someone else's husband at any time; If you want to go to the kiln, Huguan is not a prosperous place, not to mention the prostitutes and prostitutes, and the complexion can only be said to be mediocre, maybe the officials are still dirty. In this way, if you want to steal from time to time, there is only one way left - to accept the outer room.

Xu Hui also spent three years on Xie Lun, and naturally knew that most men were not as good as wives and concubines, and concubines were not as good as stealing. The irritable and verbose yellow-faced woman, how can she be worthy of the gentle, tactful and affectionate interpretation flower? Xu Hui did not extinguish these outer chambers, and gave his wives and concubines the thoughts of being angry. All she wanted was for Lin Xin to send someone to check and see if there were any ill-intentioned guys among them and the people they brought.

"What clues?" Before Lin Xin could respond, he saw a person open the military tent and walked in generously.

This man's eyebrows were sparse, covered in dust, and he was extremely embarrassed, but he could not hide his bright eyes and the vitality that exuded from his body. When he saw Xu Hui, he smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Hui'er, you're here!" ”

"Third uncle, you ......" Although he was mentally prepared, he saw that Xu Pan didn't even take care of it temporarily, and walked in like this, covered in dust and mud, Xu Hui was still a little helpless, "If the third aunt sees you like this, you will have to teach you a lesson!" ”

Xu Pan sat down loudly, touched his head, and said without any psychological burden: "Wan Niang feels sorry for me, and she will not be willing to scold me!" After that, he looked at Xu Hui and smiled a little flatteringly, "Besides, as long as Hui'er doesn't tell Father and Wanniang, won't anyone know?" ”

Nobody knows? You've come all the way like this, and no one will know? Listening to Xu Pan's words, Xu Hui almost didn't hide his face.

Fortunately, Xu Hui is much more reliable than Xu Pan, at least she remembers the business. Therefore, she looked at Xu Pan solemnly and said, "Grandfather has an order, let the third uncle assist my niece and me, and have full authority to deal with this matter, the third uncle ......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Pan waved his hand and said very heroically: "What you say, I will do it!" ”

His straightforward and calm attitude made Lin Xin and Xu Hui, especially Xu Hui, who was worried about Xu Pan's unwillingness to be commanded by her juniors all the way, feel extremely complicated, giving birth to a feeling that he was a despicable villain, so that he could not face the frank gentleman in front of him.

Looking at Xu Pan, who was smiling a little silly, Xu Hui subconsciously withdrew his gaze.

What a gentleman, what a villain, it's all an illusion! Illusion!!! (To be continued.) )
