Chapter 223: Incredible Intelligence
In a saddle, Ni Er also searched out a piece of paper.
Sadly, this is also a blank sheet of paper with nothing on it.
"Commander Zheng ......."
"Don't be in a hurry, search carefully."
Zheng Tianlun didn't believe that the two of them didn't bring anything, they must have hidden somewhere and didn't search for it.
Besides, information can also be memorized, not necessarily written on paper.
Bai San'er brought back the grass to feed the horses, and went to the side of the road to wait for reinforcements, so as not to miss it.
"Gao Mingtang, to tell you the truth, we have been following you since the East Fourth Archway yesterday."
"Where you go, record along the way, and go to Xia Banshan at night, we all know."
"We also know that you are Tatars. Say, what do you want to do here? What information was collected? ”
Gao Mingtang looked at Zheng Tianlun with contempt.
"Can't you do business and walk around? We have business dealings with Xia Banshan, and we go to his house to talk about business, what's not to do? ”
"We went outside the hay yard and didn't go in, so why not? Walking around, which royal law did you violate? ”
"It is clearly written on the road guide that we are Han Chinese, and you either say that we are Tatars, or you want to frame us."
"Didn't you say Xia Banshan, just find him, confront him face to face, and see who we are?"
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he asked questions again and again.
"Why, then, is your path like this? How do you explain that? ”
"The guidance sent by the yamen was not made by me, how do I know."
Gao Mingtang questioned, but Zheng Tianlun had nothing to say.
"Ni Er, bandage the wound on his leg first."
"Let us go, can the Five Cities Terracotta Division arrest people casually? If you have the guts, you will kill us. ”
There was a sound, and Bai San'er came over with a team of fire armor from Jia Rui and Zhou Zongjia.
'How, did you find anything?' ’
"Not yet."
Zheng Tianlun took Jia Rui aside and introduced what happened.
"They must have been carrying something, but it was very cleverly hidden. Don't be in a hurry, let's look slowly. ”
Jia Rui went over, picked up the guide, and looked carefully at the side that was opened.
Suddenly, I remembered that when I was taking the test in Jinling Township, Chen Wenxiang contacted me to cheat in the scientific examination.
At that time, Chen Wenxiang was writing on a gown, and he couldn't see anything on the surface, but when he got some dirt on the ground, it showed his handwriting.
Could this be cipherography too?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain this particular path.
"Ni Er, bring your water bladder."
Ni Er brought the water bladder from the horse.
"Water this."
"You can't water, ruined my guide, how can I get home? Can you afford it? ”
This time, Gao Mingtang was in a hurry, struggling to get up.
"Watering."
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Jia Rui strengthened his judgment.
Ni Er poured the water up the road, and although everyone didn't understand what Jia Rui meant, they all stared carefully.
The guide is soaked, but nothing has changed on it.
Everyone looked at Jia Rui, their faces full of disappointment.
"Don't rush, wait until we talk."
"It's darkened."
Ni Er suddenly shouted.
I saw that in the middle of the white paper, black dots appeared. The black dots gradually widened and multiplied, turning into words.
"Tatar script!"
Zheng Tianlun blurted out.
Can you still write like this?
"What's written on it?"
Everyone was gossiping, but no one recognized the Tatar script.
"Uncle Rui, is this also watering?"
Ni Er handed the blank piece of paper to Jia Rui.
"Don't water them yet, take them back. Ni Er, you go with me first, find a place with pen and ink, and copy this. ”
Jia Rui and Ni Er led the horse to the road, got on the horse and walked back.
After the tea, I saw a restaurant on the side of the road, so I got off the horse and went in.
"What do you want to eat objectively?"
"I'll talk about it later, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will handle the case, bring your pen and ink."
"It's ......."
If you don't eat, what do you want to do with your pen and ink?
"Hurry up."
"Oh."
Seeing that Jia Rui was angry, the boss hurriedly brought pen, ink and paper.
Jia Rui took out the guide and copied it.
He also did not understand the Tatar script and had a great time writing. But these words must be confidential, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
Not long after, Zheng Tianlun arrived with Gao Mingtang and the two of them, and they waited on the side.
After almost half an hour, Jia Rui finally finished copying.
"I didn't eat in the morning, so let's eat here. Get him two some food to eat too. ”
Jia Rui said to Zheng Tianlun.
"When you say that, I'm really hungry. Ni Er, a la carte. By the way, isn't it enough to have a way, why rush to copy it down? ”
"I'm afraid that the words on the road will disappear after a while."
"Can this be? Tianxiang, how do you know that there is text on the road guide? ”
Thinking of Chen Wenxiang, Jia Rui couldn't help but feel a little sad.
If this Tatar script is important information, it should be attributed to the information that Chen Wenxiang gave himself.
This old guy, who has cheated all his life, has made this contribution, and he is worthy of the emperor's title of editor of the Hanlin Academy.
"When I was in Jinling, I heard a friend say that there is such a kind of cryptography. I didn't expect that the Tatars would do the same. ”
Jari did not believe that this cipherography was original to the Tatars.
With the technological level of the Tatars, it is unlikely that this move will be made. It should be the original of the Han people.
Xia Banshan himself is a native of Jiangnan, and the secret writing technique is likely to come from Xia Banshan.
As for the content of the text, it may have been written by Gao Mingtang or by his accomplices. It is not surprising that the Tatars have some spies lurking in the capital.
After eating in a hurry, he hurried back to the city.
"Commander Zheng, you escort them back first, guard them carefully, and don't leak the news. By the way, go to Lord Xu's place and ask him to wait for us. ”
"I went to Honglu Temple to find an interpreter and translate this letter. I'll interrogate them when I get back. ”
The two broke up, and Jia Rui went to Honglu Temple to find Xiao Duo, a translator who knew Tatar.
The last time Jia Rui and Zheng Tianlun forged a document for Liu Dali, they asked Xiao Duo to translate it.
Jia Rui handed the guide to Xiao Duo, and handed over two taels of silver tickets by the way.
"I'm here to trouble Brother Xiao again, please translate the text above."
"Commander Jia, so embarrassed?"
"A little bit of heart, Brother Xiao accepted it, I feel more at ease, otherwise I will always feel that I owe something to others."
"Okay, you're welcome."
Xiao Duo put away the silver ticket, and began to look at the road guide, and after looking at the group, his face suddenly changed.
"Commander Jia, where did you come from to guide this way?"
"From the two merchants, I suspect that they are the work of the Tatars. Is there any important information on it? ”
"It's important, it's a big deal, wait for me to take a closer look."
Xiao Duo read it again, his expression became more serious, and he picked up the pen and wrote.
After writing it, he double-checked it again, changed two words, and then handed over the translation to Jia Rui.
Jia Rui took a look, his expression also changed, and he looked up at Xiao Duo.
"Commander Jia, don't doubt it, I translated it correctly, that's what it means. The Tatars prepared to bypass the Shanshui Pass and attack the Shenjing City directly. ”
"I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what it says. Absolutely, yes. That's what you mean if you translate it differently. ”
"It's not that I don't believe Brother Xiao, it's really unbelievable."
"Yes, whoever sees it can't believe it. Even I don't believe that the Tatars would have such guts. ”
Attacking the capital directly is indeed shocking news.
Are the Tatars crazy?
