Chapter 318: Li Zhi personally led the team to hunt for treasure
Er'an looked left and right, and the reading was the Chongxian Pavilion, the main hall! The middle waiter is an old Peng Yi old waiter. There are also more than a dozen palace maids, and Shi Aiguo is also among them.
Shi Aiguo saw Wang Ping'an's expression, and immediately waved at the chamberlains and palace maids, asking them all to go out, and he himself wanted to exit the hall.
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Manager Shi stays, you have been in the library for a long time, and you have read a lot of books, and you have to verify the authenticity of this treasure map." ”
Shi Aiguo was very grateful, this was not an outsider, nodded at Wang Ping'an with a smile, and stayed.
Wang Ping'an took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, handed it to Shi Aiguo, and asked him to forward it to Li Zhi. This parchment was made by Qiu Renjie, with terrain drawn on it, and it is old, looking like it was from decades ago.
He said: "This piece of parchment was accidentally obtained by the minister on a dying old man. The man claimed to be surnamed Yang, he used to be the housekeeper in Yang Xuangan's house, after the fall of the Yang family, he stole this parchment from the house, and kept it until now, only because he was seriously ill, so he wanted to take it out in exchange for money to buy medicine, and the minister gave him a doctor, but he did not cure him, before he died, he gave this parchment to the minister, but the minister has not been sure whether this paper is a treasure map
Wang Ping'an said this kind of thing, it is a kind of psychological hint, before the other party does not see something, first tell a small story, so that when the other party sees something, he will naturally think about it, and it is easy to think of the fake as true. Shi Aiguo presented the parchment to Li Zhi, who took it and said, "There is a picture on it." It looks old! ”
Shi Aiguo also nodded and said: "It's not, it's been years since I looked at it, and this parchment has been eaten by insects!" ”
In fact, neither of them could tell whether this parchment was a treasure map or not, and they had no knowledge of manufacturing products, but they heard Wang Ping'an say that they got it from Yang Xuangan's house, and they felt that this parchment was very old and very old.
There was no writing on the parchment, just a drawing of a city, and then a little landscape outside the city. I can't tell what it is. Suddenly, Shi Zhongchen said: "The old slave once heard that someone wrote a secret letter in the previous dynasty. The handwriting needs to be baked over fire, and as long as the paper is heated, the handwriting will be revealed! ”
Li Zhiqi said: "There is such a thing? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”
Ji Ping'an was also surprised, and said, "Roast with fire? Wouldn't that just burn the paper? ”
Shi Aiguo was also a little uncertain, and said: "I've just heard that the old slave doesn't know whether it's true or not." ”
Wang Ping'an walked to the table. Seeing that there was a flint paper letter on the table, he lit a candle and said, "If you bake it with fire, if you burn the paper, it will be troublesome, I don't know if there is any other way?" ”
Shi Aiguo shook his head and said, "We don't know anything else!" ”
Li Zhi was quite excited, he had never encountered such a thing, he was very interested, of course he was not interested in any treasure, but in the matter of treasure hunting.
Holding the paper in his hand, Li Zhi said: "Be careful, bake and bake first!" "Hold the paper close to the candle and bake it gently.
Baking paper over a fire so that the words on it are visible is the easiest way to write a secret letter. But in Li Zhi's opinion, it is quite profound, and it can be called a miracle!
The parchment paper is close to the sharp light, only baked once, and after a little heating, the paper is very "miraculously" exposed, and there are five big characters written on the head of the paper, Yang's treasure map!
"Ah, there are really words, there are really words!" Li Zhi screamed, his face flushed with excitement. The hand holding the paper trembled!
Wang Ping'an's face was also full of excitement, and he shouted: "Manager Shi, the method you said is really smart." The handwriting is really visible on the paper! ”
Shi Aiguo's old face smiled like a flower, he didn't expect that there would really be handwriting displayed, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is a real treasure map." Otherwise, why would the words on it be so secretive! ”
Li Zhi also said: "Patriotic, thanks to you, the secret on this picture can be cracked!" ”
Wang Ping'an said: "It's not, the paper will burn when it encounters fire, who dares to roast it with fire, this method is so dangerous, no wonder the old servant of the Yang family has never kept a secret!" ”
The three of them sighed, discussed, and continued to bake the paper with the fire. In addition to the large print on the paper. There was a small character written somewhere outside Daxing City, hiding the heavy treasure of the Yang family, in addition, there was also a long poem, which seemed to be written by Yang Xuangan, lamenting that he was going to send troops against Sui, afraid that if something happened, his children and grandchildren would be poor. So leave a heavy treasure and draw a picture to guide, hoping that the children and grandchildren can find it, live the life of an ordinary rich man, and stop being an official!
After reading the small characters, Li Zhi sighed and said, "It turned out that Yang Xuangan drew this picture before the army." But he didn't expect it to be stolen by a servant who had no conscience. failed to leave it to the descendants of the Yang family. ”
Bake the picture with a candle and see that this picture is very detailed, so to speak, with this picture, you don't need to use your brain, just follow it, and you can find the treasure!
Li Zhi and Shi Aiguo had never seen a real treasure map, thinking that it was like this. Shi Aiguo said: "Your Highness, look, there is a circle drawn here, and the treasure burial place is written, which is not far from Chang'an City, it seems to be in the big forest in the northwest direction."
There was no doubt in his tone, just a little feeling. It seems that the treasure is buried too close to Chang'an. Why don't you bury it in the deep mountains and old forests?
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "It's not far from the city, that's right, he didn't have time to bury the treasure too far at that time, in that case, there will be a war soon." The burial is naturally hasty, but it just shows that the treasure is real! ”
Li Zhi and Shi Aiguo are at the same time, it's right to think about it, isn't that what happened!
Wang Ping'an sighed again: "This treasure map has made the minister miserable, and the minister thought that he could get a heavy treasure, so he spent money and yelled, and as a result, he spent all the money!" ”
Li Zhi glanced at him. "Don't cry poor. If you find a heavy treasure, then Gu will not care if you ask for money, and will give you some. ”
He put the paper in his arms, stood up, and said, "Patriotic, you call a few people, let's go and dig out the heavy treasure together and present it to my father!" ”
Wang Ping'an was "taken aback" and said: "Your Highness, by all means, it is too dangerous, if there is an ambush in the place where the treasure is buried, then wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go?" ”
Shi Aiguo also said: "Your Highness doesn't have to go in person." Let Lord Wang and the old slave take people with them, and it will be enough! ”
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Gu wants to go and see for himself, Yang Xuan feels that there is something heavy buried in the bottom." He has been holding back in the deep palace for a long time, and he has never encountered anything new, and finally has the opportunity to "take risks", how can he let it go.
Wang Ping'an persuaded a few more words, but when he couldn't persuade him, he had to say: "Then let the minister put on armor and accompany His Highness!" ”
Shi Aiguo ran out of the hall and called a few intimate guards, including Meng Datian and Meng Xiaotian, and asked the guards to bring the tools for digging pits, and everyone didn't want to wait for a moment, so they ran out of the East Palace, rode out of Chang'an City, and went to the big forest in the northwest direction!
A large forest in the northwest outside Chang'an City.
Ouyang Shuang climbed onto a big tree and was looking into the distance. Ouyang Yi asked under the tree, "What do you see, is the master here?" ”
Jiyang shook his head and said, "Not yet, it's been so long." Why haven't you come yet, it's going to be dark if you wait any longer! ”
Ouyang Yi sighed. said: "In my opinion, that prince's courage must be pitiful, and he is still hesitating at this time, whether to come or not!" ”
In the woods, Ouyang Li walked out and said, "It doesn't matter if he comes or not, as long as he sends someone!" ”
A few of them have been busy in the past two days, and they have to dig the tunnel again, and they have to make a batch of gold bricks inside, and then they have to fill in the tunnel again, and then find a place to bury the gold bricks, and they have to make it look like they were decades ago.
After another long time, Ouyang Shuang suddenly shouted: "Here, the master is here, the prince is also here, and he has brought a group of palace guards" Obediently, there is a eunuch mixed in it! ”
Ouyang Yi asked, "Are there any palace maids?" ”
Ouyang Shuang jumped down from the tree and said, "No." It's all men! ”
"That eunuch can't be considered a man!" As they spoke, the brothers all ran into the woods.
After a short time, Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi arrived. Li Zhi took out the treasure map, looked at it, and said, "It should be here." But it's hard to find! ”
Wang Ping'an grinned and thought: "Take the map and find the place directly, this is still difficult to find." Is it possible to put the treasure directly in your hand, so that it is easy to find? ”
Several of the guards dismounted, went into the woods to check, and after a short time, returned to the edge of the forest. Said: "Your Highness, the forest is very safe, you can go in!" ”
Everyone got off their mounts, and Wang Ping'an walked in front and shouted: "If there is any danger, the ministers will resist for His Highness." Be sure that my lord is safe! He had already changed into his armor, had a shield in his hand, took a horizontal knife from the guard's hand, and cautiously entered the woods.
At this time, it was almost evening, and the edge of the forest was still bright, but you could enter the forest. The sunset sun does not shine into the forest, and it gives people an eerie feeling out of thin air!
Originally, Li Zhi didn't have any sense of fear. It's just that I'm just here to hunt for treasures, I'm very happy, but Wang Ping'an was nervous, which made everyone nervous, and they all felt a little scared, but what they were afraid of, they couldn't say! The guards guarded Li Zhi's side tightly, followed behind Wang Ping'an, followed the map, and walked a long way. Into the depths of the jungle. By this time it was already dark, and the forest was even darker. From time to time, there are night birds chirping, which is creepy!
Suddenly, there was a smell of smoke in the forest, and the smell of this smoke was a little stinky, and it smelled disgusting and made people want to vomit!
Wang Ping'an suddenly screamed and turned around. shouted: "Prince be careful, there is miasma here!" ”
Li Zhi and the others immediately stopped, everyone smelled the smell, and they all thought it was the smell of the dead branches and leaves in the forest, so they didn't think much about it. I didn't even think about the miasma!
Li Zhi exclaimed: "This is Chang'an, how can there be itching?" ”
