[186] A clue was found

As the first city in the south of the Yangtze River, there must be a stronghold of the Seven Star Prison in Yangzhou Mansion, but Qin Yuesheng doesn't know where it is, how to say that he is now a quasi-copper toad official, and he is far from becoming a real copper toad official, so he needs Lord Zuo to help him arrange it in the imperial court.

The matter of the secret hiding of the sword mound, Qin Yuesheng himself is not easy to find, if he uses the power of the government, he may be able to find the location of the 'sword-casting' town as soon as possible.

After having lunch in Yixin Xiaoju, Qin Yuesheng took the initiative to go to the Thorn History Mansion in Yangzhou Mansion.

Speaking of the history of the assassination of Yangzhou Mansion, although Qin Yuesheng had never known him in his life, the two had a secret dealing.

If you really want to shake this matter out, it is estimated that the assassin of Yangzhou Mansion will call someone to slaughter Qin Yuesheng on the spot.

That's right, Liu Xian, the assassin of Yangzhou Mansion, is the biological father of Liu Zhizhang, the yin thief that Qin Yuesheng once killed in Meteorite Mountain.

However, this person does not know that Qin Yuesheng is his killer, after all, Qin Yuesheng's matter is quite secretive, and there was also a dumping incident of the Celestial Star later, basically all the clues and traces he left behind were buried under the earth by the Celestial Star.

That's why Qin Yuesheng dared to come to the Assassin's Mansion with a swagger, but he was very frank in his heart.

Seeing a stranger approaching the Assassin's Mansion, the two guards standing outside the gate immediately pointed their spears at the front of the gate: "Who is coming?" ”

"Go and tell your lords that the officials of the Seven Star Prison Bronze Toad have come to visit. Qin Yuesheng said.

In today's Tang Dynasty, the assassin is a third-grade official, even if Qin Yuesheng officially becomes a bronze toad official, he can't be on an equal footing with Liu Xian in terms of official rank, so he came to visit this time with the mentality of a subordinate.

Of course, it's just a state of mind, if this Liu Xian dares to underestimate him and make him unhappy, then the strength of the fourfold internal force realm will still be revealed, and he will be beaten violently, without fear of anything.

After all, in the face of real strength, the official rank is empty.

Immediately, someone reported Qin Yuesheng's situation to Liu Xian, and soon someone came over to lead Qin Yuesheng into the mansion, which seemed to be similar to the status of a housekeeper.

"This lord, please come here, Lord Liu is already waiting for you in the reception hall. ”

"Thank you. Qin Yuesheng nodded, and then walked into the reception hall.

Although Liu Xian has entered middle age, he is quite well maintained, his complexion is ruddy, his hair is black and shiny, and he is very energetic.

After Qin Yuesheng saw him, he immediately symbolically arched his hand: "Xiaguan Qin Yuesheng, I have seen Lord Liu, because Xiaguan's boss is handling the promotion of Tongtoad officials for me in Chang'an, Xiaguan does not have his own Tongchan official order, so he will use this wooden order to prove his identity first." ”

Seeing Qin Yuesheng take out a piece of Mu Toad official order, Liu Xian immediately smiled and shook his head: "No need, there are not many people in the world who know about the Seven Star Prison, but there are very few who dare to use this identity to deceive me, the old man believes you, Lord Qin put it away first." ”

"Yes. ”

"I thought that the official of the copper toad should be thirty years old, but I didn't expect Lord Qin to be so young, it's gratifying, the Seven Star Prison has a young master like you, it is really like a tiger with wings. Liu Xian smiled kindly.

As a first-class assassin, from the third-rank official, he naturally knew about the existence of the Seven Star Prison, although Qin Yuesheng was one level lower than him, but Liu Xian did not show a trace of contempt, because he knew very well that those who could join the Seven Star Prison were masters.

And those who can become copper toad officials are even more masters among masters, and there is naturally no need for this kind of person to offend in vain.

If you can make good connections and build good relationships, you may be able to come in handy in the future.

"Lord Qin, please take a seat. ”

"Thank you. Qin Yuesheng picked a chair and sat down, and said directly: "The purpose of this time is to investigate an evil matter without results, and I plan to ask Lord Liu for help, can you let me take a look at the county management records of Yangzhou Mansion, I want to find clues from it." ”

"Oh, that's so!" Liu Xian's expression was shocked: "Naturally, naturally, how can I refuse this kind of thing, Lord Qin, don't worry, I'll let someone prepare it for you." ”

Qin Yuesheng didn't expect Liu Xian to agree so happily, but thinking of what this person was doing behind his back, he immediately understood a lot in his heart.

It's an old fox.

Judging from the fact that Liu Zhizhang went to the Meteorite Mountain to secretly dig for gold, although this person can't see whether he has the intention of rebellion, he definitely has the idea of using money to strengthen his own power.

Under the water of Yangzhou Mansion, Liu Xian didn't know how deep the things he was hiding, but this was not something that Qin Yuesheng should care about.

Under Liu Xian's arrangement, Qin Yuesheng was soon able to come to the archives in the Assassin's Mansion smoothly.

The place is huge, with bookshelves lined up like long queues of books.

Among them, there are bamboo slips as the carrier, some use paper as the carrier, and what is even more shocking is that there is even information recorded on the stone, which is simply eye-opening.

"My lord, this is the archive, Lord Liu said to let you find it slowly. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you for me, Lord Liu. Qin Yuesheng immediately began to rummage through each shelf.

His focus was mainly on the books that recorded the geological county, and he would pick up and look at anything related to sword forging, and when he was sure that it was not relevant to the information he wanted to know, he would put it back in its place.

Relying on the help of 'Universal Text Recognition', Qin Yuesheng had almost no pressure to browse through these books, but after consulting dozens of books, he didn't find the information he wanted.

"Isn't that small city called Sword Forging?" Qin Yuesheng wondered.

Generally speaking, whether it is a building, a temple, a temple, or a city, almost all of the plaques with names written on the gates are hung on them, and it is rare to see buildings that are not in this case.

Although he was puzzled, Qin Yuesheng still continued to search.

After about a stick of incense, he finally found a clue.

In a book called "Shazizhou Benji" records, next to the coastline on the east side of the south of the Yangtze River, there was once a city called the bronze sword city, which is famous for building weapons, and the furnace in the city has been open for many years, resulting in a hot fire, and the temperature is always hotter than other areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and even in winter, the people who live in the copper sword city do not need to wear thick clothes, and still maintain the thin clothes they wear in spring and summer.

At that time, many knights liked to bring the precious materials they searched around to this city to ask the master to cast swords, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, one night, a huge wave from the East China Sea rushed directly to the sandisland, and the entire city was submerged in an instant, and since then, there is no bronze sword city on the east coast.

It was a well-known story decades ago, but as the years go by, even the biggest things will become forgotten.

"Decades ago, the Bronze Sword City coincided very well with the year when the Bai Yue Sword Saint disappeared. Qin Yuesheng was surprised.

Coupled with the name of this bronze sword city, the plaque of the word sword casting that I saw on the map last night, but there are traces of fracture on the left and right sides, it should be something on both sides, and then it broke and fell off.

"It's estimated that eight or nine is not far from ten. Qin Yuesheng put the book back in its place, and instantly made the decision to go to Shazizhou to explore the situation.

Pretending to flip through several more books, Qin Yuesheng walked out of the archives, said goodbye to Liu Xian and left the Assassin's Mansion.

After he left, Liu Xian, who was originally kind, suddenly changed his expression, and asked the housekeeper next to him, "What did this person check in the archives, have you all investigated?"

"My lord, he has read a lot of old books, and according to the difference in dust on the shelves, there are a total of four or fifty-six books, all of which are related to the geographical county town in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"I'm afraid this person is not here to investigate the evil, but to find something in Jiangnan. Liu Xian touched his chin and thought.

He has an unknown secret in his heart, for him, anything that can enhance his overall strength is something that must be fought for.

Suddenly, Liu Xian's eyes suddenly shone up: "The sword mound is hidden!"

"My lord, what?" the butler wondered.

"Recently, has there been a rumor in Yangzhou Mansion about the secret hiding of the sword mound?"

"Yes, I heard that there is a map about the secret hiding of the sword mound in our Yangzhou Mansion, and many people in the rivers and lakes are looking for it everywhere. ”

Liu Xian touched his beard: "Go, check the dozens of books that this person has read, there must be clues in them." ”

"Yes. ”

......

Qin Yuesheng had wondered if Liu Xian, an old fox, would check the books he had read, so in order to prevent him from also finding the secret of the Bronze Sword City, Qin Yuesheng deliberately flipped through a lot of books, and at the same time kept pace with the "Shazizhou Benji", and forged some folded marks with his fingers on the pages of some irrelevant books to confuse Liu Xian's sight.

Although these are all expected scenarios, if they are truly imagined, they can come in handy.

The result was really as Qin Yuesheng expected, Liu Xian really made people focus on the books he had read, as for whether they could find the correct answer from dozens of books, it was unknown.

Anyway, Qin Yuesheng was leaving Yangzhou Mansion at the moment, preparing to go to the East Gate first and embark on the road to Shazizhou on the East Coast.

At the east gate of Yangzhou Mansion, two beggars sat lazily on the ground with bamboo sticks and broken bowls, seemingly asking passers-by for money, but if someone looked closely, they would find that their eyes were not very urgent, but very scattered, as if they were looking for someone.

The moment Qin Yuesheng appeared in the crowd, the two of them immediately got up from the ground and pretended to follow naturally.
