Chapter 0038: The Ambition of the County Commander
"Two girls, this parchment map is only half of it, and even the gods are difficult to find treasures, I advise you to still have this heart." Jiang Lintian sneered.
The two girls looked at each other in shock, but Mei Xiang smiled and said: "As my father said, the officials will definitely find the clues, which are passed down by my ancestors, and there is only half of it." The father said that the son would definitely crack it, so the picture would be handed over to the officials for safekeeping. ”
"If the two girls believe me Jiang Lintian, I'll give it a try." Jiang Lintian took the half of the parchment scroll, but there was no trace of joy, this is equivalent to guessing riddles, and it is also like how to find the flaws in the nine consecutive rings in the magic trick, only by finding the key link can there be a breakthrough.
Jiang Lintian sat next to several cases, staring at the map, as if the two beauties in front of him did not exist, and the sisters quietly left the room, leaving Jiang Lintian who was sitting dry.
......
Li Quan has been anxious for the past few days, and personally led people to guard the two exits of the front door and the back door outside the Jiang family's courtyard, and there was no harvest in a few days.
Li Quan was disheartened, but he didn't want things to take a turn for the better, a quick return, today a housekeeper from a wealthy businessman from other places came to visit the Jiang family, and went straight to the Drunken Immortal Building after going out. As soon as Li Quan heard that there was a door, he asked people to keep a firm look at the drunken immortal building, so he went to the county office non-stop to report to Li Bingzhong.
Master Li, who was holding a scroll, saw Li Quan who hurriedly entered the door, and reprimanded: "Ah Quan, you can't be like this in case of a big event, where is your Qi cultivation kung fu?" ”
"Master, what a good thing!" Lee was overjoyed.
Li Quan reported the situation of the housekeeper plus his own analysis to the master, and the rich businessman quickly inquired about the news from Zuixianlou that he was from Hebei, and the accent should be from Cangzhou, so I don't know why the housekeeper appeared in the Jiang family?
Cangzhou, Jiang family.
Li Shanzhong spread out Xuanlow, wrote the two words on it, and then connected them with a pen, he had never heard of the Jiang family and Cangzhou, Hebei, and he had never heard of the Jiang family having an old man in Cangzhou for so many years. Could it be that Jiang Lintian, this kid, really has the courage of a bear heart and a leopard, and dares to be a thief, he doesn't believe in the nonsense of the dead ghost Ximenqing, it is just an excuse to embezzle the Jiang family's property.
After thinking for a long time, Li Bingzhong opened his mouth and said: "Ah Quan, it's hard work, you go down first and keep an eye on the Jiang family and the Drunken Immortal Mansion for me, master, I have to think carefully about the reason!" ”
"Yes, sir."
After Li Quan exited the room, Li Jun came to his father and interrupted Li Bingzhong's musings.
"Daddy, this Jiang family must be related to Cangzhou, why don't we cut off their contact first?"
"Is there a way for me?" Li Bingzhong looked at the child in front of him happily.
"Daddy, have you heard of the Cangzhou Chai officials?" Li Jun raised the question in his heart.
"Of course, no one knows about Cangzhou Chai's officials. Son, you mean ......? Li Bingzhong was pleasantly surprised, if this is the case, it will be a big deal.
"Jun'er said, how can you be sure that the rich merchant is a Chai official?"
"Daddy, if there is really a treasure of the previous dynasty, in addition to the ministers of the court such as Gao Taiwei, who knows about it, then the remnants of the previous dynasty will definitely be interested. When I went to Hebei to study last year, I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Chai family in Cangzhou was a descendant of the former dynasty. Li Jun observed his father and calmly expressed his thoughts.
"Hehe, Jun'er is reasonable, my father looked down on you before, you have a way to make that firewood come into line." Li Bingzhong looked at his son in front of him with a smile.
"Daddy, we can do this, we will let that firewood enter the line."
Father and son looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
.......
Jiang Lintian sat alone in the room until late at night, still unable to understand the secrets of the parchment map. Since the ancestor of the Chai family wants to leave a treasure to future generations, he must have a strict plan, and it is impossible to leave only half a map to do it.
Under the oil lamp, Jiang Lintian carefully figured out the marks on the map, and never let go of any traces of spiders and worms, it would be nice if there was a magnifying glass in this world, Jiang Lintian was a little distressed, he had looked at the lines of this parchment scroll countless times, but he did not find any useful clues.
He was a little tired and wanted to stand up and rest for a while, but he didn't want to knock down the oil lamp, he was shocked, and quickly lifted the oil lamp up, and the parchment roll also ignited a spark, and in the panic, Jiang Lintian hurriedly extinguished the spark with his sleeves.
Jiang Lintian said that it was not good, he took the parchment roll in his hand, watched it carefully under the light, and sighed, fortunately, the rescue was timely, the parchment roll was only a little burned out at the corners, and the previous fire roasted the parchment roll a little hot.
By the light, there were hidden lines on the parchment to outline the figures and figures, and when he looked closely, the figures and figures disappeared out of thin air. This made Jiang Lintian very depressed, he obviously saw it just now, could it be that he was dizzy?
No, it's not my own dazzle, it's not an illusion, it's .......? After a long time, Jiang Lintian seemed to have an understanding, he put the oil lamp in the center of the case, squatted on the case, spread the sheepskin map on top of the oil lamp, and used the weak heat of the light to roast the parchment roll in his hand.
On the pattern, a monk with white eyebrows is holding a scroll and reading it carefully, the monk sits on a big bluestone, next to the mountains are undulating, clouds and mist, several houses are like temples, there are a few lines of small characters in the lower right, vague, some can not see clearly, when he put the sheepskin map aside, rubbed his eyes and observed again, the lines and graphics on the sheepskin scroll disappeared.
Jiang Lintian was overjoyed, he was sure that he had discovered the secret of the treasure map, as long as he heated the sheepskin again, and then read those few lines of small characters, the secret would be cracked, thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha." The laughter pierced the night sky and startled mosquitoes, but the two sisters who had been hiding outside were very happy, but when they looked at Jiang Lintian outside the window, as soon as they heard his laughter, they pushed the door and walked in.
"Official, why are you so happy, is it ......?" Gu Meixiang asked.
"Huh, guess?" Jiang Lintian pretended to be mysterious.
"Jiang Lintian, say it quickly!" Zishu also looked forward to it.
Jiang Lintian grinned, picked up Zishu coldly, kissed her fiercely on the face, and smiled: "Miss Zishu, I finally know the secret of the treasure map, Gao is not happy, not surprised!" ”
"You, disciple." Zishu is excellent in martial arts, she can easily break free from Jiang Lintian's embrace, at this time she just struggled a few times shyly, and scolded with a smile: "You are a disciple, you hurt the slave family." ”
Jiang Lintian was stunned for a moment, put Zishu down, and said haha: "Two girls, I'm really excited, forgive me, forgive me!" ”
Gu Meixiang was deliberately teasing her sister, to her surprise, her sister was not angry, he laughed secretly in his heart, this is a good thing, it shows that his sister has accepted the official.
"Official, did you really discover the secret of the treasure map?" Mei Xiang asked with a smile.
"Of course, there is no treasure map in the world that Young Master Ben can't crack, but now, Young Master Ben still has to study it carefully before he can really crack it." Jiang Lintian pretended to be high and deep.
The sisters were a little disappointed, but they stared at Jiang Lintian's vivid face, they knew that officials liked to joke, and tried to decipher useful information from her face.
"On the occasion of this beautiful day, why don't the two beauties prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, grind ink with fine hands, and add fragrance to the red sleeves, okay?" Jiang Lintian looked solemn and said seriously.
"You!" Zishu was about to scold, but his sister pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to make a mistake.
It was late at night, Mei Xiang was studying ink for Jiang Lintian, Zishu was spreading out the rice paper, and the usual gentleman was solemn, using an oil lamp to keep roasting the parchment rolls, the figure appeared and disappeared, disappeared and appeared, and so on, Jiang Lintian painted according to the outline of the lines that had just appeared, trying to completely restore the treasure map.
And so on until dawn.
......
Chai Jin has been staying in the drunken fairy building for the past few days is very boring, yesterday the housekeeper Qian Tong returned, so that Chai Jin is very happy, he let go of the past few days is very nervous, let Qian Tong accompany him to drink a few glasses, thinking that the two daughters have a good home, the heart is completely relieved.
When Qian Tong returned, after the things that happened to the Jiang family were revealed, Chai Jin felt that this decision was correct now. The youngest daughter Zishu is kind-hearted, but she is stubborn by nature, with her sister Meixiang by her side, she will not suffer in the Jiang family in the future, as for the queen's life, Chai Jin also feels a little unreliable, and no longer thinks about it.
Early this morning, some of the enthusiastic Chai officials asked the housekeeper Qian Tong to accompany him out of the city to play, although Qian Tong did not want to touch the interest of the officials, but still reminded the officials that this is Qinghe City, not Cangzhou, everything must be done carefully.
Chai Jin agreed with Qian Tong's statement, but he still thought that it should not be a big problem to just go out of the city. Although Qian Tong felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't say much, but he kept an eye on it, divided his entourage into two groups, and followed the carriage to protect Chai Daguan.
Chai Jin was very satisfied with Qian Tong's arrangement, he specially asked Qian Tong to disguise himself and follow the second group of followers behind the first group.
Qian Tong and others pretended to be businessmen and followed the first group of people, just after following out of the city, Qian Tong found that there were two groups of people following behind the convoy of big officials, obviously the big officials have been under the surveillance of the other party, fortunately there was an arrangement.
Chai Jin and his party just turned to the col, they were stopped by the group, Chai Jin saw that the other party was dressed up in a dozen people's clothes, and the hands were all bright and dangling Pu knives, and he signaled his two entourages not to act rashly. Chai Jin was not panicked, he knew that the entourage behind him would definitely come to the rescue.
Chai Jin kept looking towards the rear, but he didn't want the retinue in the rear to be surrounded by a group of strong men, forcing him to put down the weapons in his hands, and then Chai Jin finally understood that this time he was careless.
A masked man walked out of the crowd and smiled: "Chai Daguan, why did you appear in my Qinghe City?" We invited the dignitaries to visit our village. ”
Chai Jin smiled contemptuously: "Since you know my name, how can you do such a bad thing, and you still refuse to show your true face, could it be that you are a person who hides his head and shows his tail?" ”
The masked man was not angry, but turned back to his opponent and ordered: "Take the great officials to the Grange, don't slack off!" ”
A group of gangsters carried Chai Jin and the group disappeared into the wilderness.
In the distance, in the grass, an attendant asked Qian Tong beside him with an anxious face: "Steward Qian, what should I do?" ”
