The secret room in the attic of Nanhuaguan was all Lu Mengtong's own secrets, and when Li Canghai sneaked in at that time, he really didn't find anything else.

The tomb of Xuan Zhen is full of evidence of the Lu family's crimes, if there is really a map, then the map should be in this pile of evidence.

After all, Lu Mengtong said that the map was owned by the head of the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai looked at the pile of evidence again.

After classifying the evidence according to type, Li Canghai looked at it again.

Strips of cloth that had turned purple from blood, rusty daggers, testimonies of witnesses, and books of accounts that had come in and out.

However, these things have nothing to do with maps.

Li Canghai picked up the ledger and looked at it carefully, and every transaction of buying and selling girls was recorded in the ledger.

Carefully flipping through the ledger until the last page, Li Canghai suddenly felt that the back of the ledger seemed to be slightly thicker.

Li Canghai's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned over the account book, and then carefully observed the account book cover.

After a moment of deep thought, he picked up the rusty dagger and scratched it on the back cover of the ledger.

After the cover was opened, Li Canghai took out a folded piece of paper from inside.

I don't know what material the piece of paper is made of, it is as thin as a cicada's wings.

Although folded, it is not thick, and it is placed in the cover, which does not appear abrupt, and it is difficult for a non-attentive person to notice the problem.

"My lord, what is this?" Xiao Wu leaned over and asked curiously.

Li Canghai unfolded the map, looked at it carefully, squinted his eyes and said: "This is the map of Mulberry Island, with this map, you can find the location of Mulberry Island." ”

Xue Xuan also leaned over, and she looked at the map in Li Canghai's hand. Suddenly, he said: "No wonder you weren't worried at all after learning that the ronin leader had fled, it turned out that you had been prepared." ”

"It seems that Lu Mengtong is not lying." Li Canghai put away the map, looked up at the sunset that was about to set, and thought for a moment. said: "Xiao Wu, you go and bring Lu Jitong." ”

Xiao Wu answered, and then walked out.

A moment later, Xiao Wu took Lu Jitong to the flower hall.

Lu Jitong looked haggard and pale, as if he had a serious illness, while Fujiwara Kyoko was taking care of him carefully.

"See your Excellency." Lu Jitong bowed to Li Canghai slightly tiredly.

Li Canghai thought for a while and said, "No need to be polite. The Lu family suffered this incident, and it was indeed unfortunate. But. I hope you cheer up and don't let it go. ”

Lu Jitong shook his head with a wry smile: "The family is unfortunate, which makes the adults laugh." ”

"All the misfortunes in this world have their cause and effect. No matter what the head of the Lu family and Lu Mengtong did, it has now disappeared with their deaths. Li Canghai glanced at him, his tone suddenly became stern, and he said solemnly: "Don't forget, you still have an identity." Beaulieu Guard! ”

Hearing the words 'Panlong Secret Guard', he described the withered Lu Jitong. There was a rare glint in his eyes.

"It's not too early, the official is going to return to Luoyang to track down the matter of the brocade box, and the official can't help you for the time being. However, this official will show you the way to start investigating from the Kuwashima ronin. It should be possible to find relevant clues. Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Li Canghai's words made Lu Jitong ignite a little fighting spirit.

However, it was Kyoko Fujiwara who really cheered him up.

She held Lu Jitong and said softly: "Ji Tong, no matter what happens." I will always be with you. You haven't lost everything, you still have me. ”

Lu Jitong remembered his identity as the secret guard of the dragon, and decided to let go of his sadness first and solve the problem in front of him.

"Your Excellency wants to leave Zhengyang?" Lu Jitong forcibly lifted his spirit and asked.

"This official is now under the holy order to investigate the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', and there is no delay here, so he wants to rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible." Li Canghai nodded and said.

"If the adults leave, where should the Kuwashima Ronin start?" Lu Jitong hurriedly asked.

"The foothold of the Mulberry Island Ronin in Zhengyang City has been exposed, presumably they will inevitably leave Zhengyang and return to Mulberry Island." Li Canghai paused, took out the previous map from his sleeve, and said: "This is the road map of Mulberry Island, you first sneak into Mulberry Island to investigate the truth and truth, and then make a decision." ”

Lu Jitong took the map from his hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will go all out to retrieve the brocade box." ”

After thinking about it, Li Canghai said: "I will let Chang Feng assist you from the side, and Kang Xu will also go with you, and discuss things with him." However, remember not to rush things up. ”

After that, Li Canghai explained some more things, and then took Di Qing and others to leave Zhengyang County Ya while the sun was setting.

The two carriages, one after the other, drove out of the county government and headed straight for the west city gate.

"Canghai, do you think we will come here again in the future?" In the carriage, Di Qing lifted the curtain on the window, looked at the houses on both sides of the street, and asked.

Li Canghai held the sleeping Huahua in his arms and also looked out the window.

Now that the sun has not yet set, it should have been very lively at this time in the past, but today it is unusually quiet, and there are not even a few small merchants and vendors.

For some reason, Li Canghai was a little reluctant in his heart.

Since he came to Zhengyang, it has only been more than a month, but what has happened in this more than a month is far beyond his imagination.

Kill corrupt officials and kill corrupt officials. Plugging breaches and draining floodwaters.

Until Tao Zhaoxue was killed, many incidents were triggered, and Li Canghai almost died a few times, but he escaped by luck.

Li Canghai sometimes felt that he had taken great luck to be able to continue to live, so his attitude towards life was more religious.

Zhengyang County is a lower county, the financial income is not high, although the people are not very rich, but the people are simple, and they know how to repay their kindness, which is the most gratifying thing for him.

What's more, here, he also took in a well-behaved and lovely daughter.

For him, Zhengyang City is a fierce land and a blessed land.

He didn't answer Di Qing's words.

Because he is not sure whether he will come back or not, just like he came to the Tang Dynasty inexplicably and was inexplicably involved in intrigues.

He didn't know where he was going next, so he had to go with his heart.

Two inconspicuous carriages carrying Li Canghai and others soon came to the gate of the city.

However, the carriage came to an abrupt halt.

"Little Wu, what's going on, why don't you move on?" Li Canghai asked in the carriage.

“…… My lord, you better come out and see for yourself. Outside the carriage, Xiao Wu said with a little complexity.

Li Canghai was a little strange, so he handed Huahua to Di Qing, and then lifted the curtain and walked out.

When he came out and saw this, Li Canghai was stunned for a moment.

Both sides of the city gate were full of people, from the rich squires to the peddlers and pawns, from the old to the young, almost half of the people of Zhengyang City came. (To be continued.) )
