Chapter 235: Linglong Golden Pagoda
Luo Feng and Han Zhao returned to the Tanji Pavilion to meet Dongfang Xuyu and his wife. According to Han Zhao's statement, Li Xuehua found that this Xu Guogong had a wide range of connections. He not only co-opted a group of ministers from the DPRK and China, but also had frequent contacts with businessmen. His mansion can also be seen from time to time.
"Did he have any contact with Levine?" Luo Feng sat behind the table in the conference hall of the Tanji Pavilion and pondered for a while with a teacup.
"This is yet to be verified! But the five who colluded with Li Wen were frequent visitors to his house. Li Xuehua felt that this Xu Guogong was very suspicious. But Li Wen is dead, but half of the five courtiers have a relationship with Xu Guogong, not only the five of them, so there is no way to convict him.
Later, Li Xuehua was not allowed to indulge one person! So Li Xuehua asked Luo Feng to find a way to get close to Xu Guogong to find out the truth.
After Luo Feng returned to the restaurant, Nie Yang told him about Gu Dong's pursuit of Ran Xuguo's mansion last night.
"Why did Xu Guogong send someone to spy on Zhang Bingye?" Luo Feng was puzzled.
"Could it be that his people stole the Exquisite Golden Pagoda?" Nie Yang said suspiciously.
"Let's go! Let's go to Xuguo Mansion! Luo Feng decided to go to the Duke of Xu's Mansion to inquire in person.
After hearing this, Xu Guogong sent someone to ask for a meeting with the people in the case of Cha Linglong Golden Pagoda and Jade Bodhi, but he could not refuse.
"Take them to my study and wait!" Xu Guogong threw away the scroll in his hand, got up from the soft couch and changed his clothes.
Luo Feng and Nie Yang followed the housekeeper to Xu Guogong's study, but they didn't see anyone. They looked at the furnishings of Xu Guogong's study, and they could only describe it with a random word.
Generally, Rao's study room is well organized. The books in Xu Guogong's study are either open on the shelves, or stacked on the ground, on the tea table, and on several cases...... But it doesn't give people a sense of chaos, but makes people think that this person is a good book.
Luo Feng's gaze moved to the antiques and scattered calligraphy and paintings in the cupboard.
"Don't you suspect that I stole the exquisite golden pagoda in Zhang Bingye's house!" Xu Guogong stepped into the door of the study.
Luo Feng turned around and saw that the person in front of him was dressed in white and had a handsome face. If it weren't for the fact that there was a little gray hair on his sideburns, it would really be impossible to see the traces of time on his face.
"It's just something to ask about." Luo Feng and the others saluted according to the routine.
"Ask!" Xu Guogong casually walked to his tea table and sat down and began to cook tea.
"Why are your people spying on Zhang Bingye?" Luo Feng went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Curious!" Xu Guogong's answer surprised Luo Feng.
"Can you explain?" Luo Feng looked at Xu Guogong's skillful tea cooking skills and couldn't help but doubt his eyes. He is so keen on daily chores that he doesn't look like a troublemaker.
"Nothing to explain! Zhang Bingye never made friends with courtiers, and the people who interacted with him every day were the leaders of the business world. They are all so rich, how can they covet his exquisite golden pagoda and jade Bodhi? So I suspect there is some mystery hidden in his exquisite golden pagoda! Xu Guogong's thoughts coincided with Luo Feng.
"Then you have to find this exquisite golden pagoda to know!" Luo Feng wanted to know Xu Guogong's strength.
"Then let's take a month to see who finds this exquisite golden pagoda first?" Xu Guogong had already heard that this Exploration Pavilion had cracked some strange cases.
"Good!" Luo Feng agreed. No matter who solves this case in the future, it will be beneficial to him and no harm to him. This case was later asked to be handled by him. As long as the case is solved, his task is complete.
Gu Dong saw Luo Feng out of the mansion of Duke Xu Guo, walking fast all the way, and then looking at the smile on his face, he knew that his mood was happy.
"Can Xu Guogong really find out about this case?" Gu Dong couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe he really has the ability!" Luo Feng walked into the Qianjia restaurant.
"But what if he stole this exquisite golden pagoda?" Gu Dong's words made Luo Feng, who had already stepped up the stairs, stop.
Gu Dong saw that his words shocked Luo Feng, and he was very proud.
"In that case, we'll find out." Luo Feng was indeed suppressed by Gu Dong's thoughts just now. Since Xu Guogong sent someone to monitor Zhang Bingye, it was clear that he had set his sights on the exquisite golden pagoda. If the tower was in his hands, he wouldn't have to.
So what will Xu Guogong do next? Luo Feng pondered as he pushed open his door.
"It's back! Come for a cup of hot tea! Qi Yan smiled and handed Luo Feng a cup of hot tea.
Luo Feng took the tea and drank it all, then he smiled at Qi Yan and sat down and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Read!" Qi Yan walked to her bedside and picked up a book and handed it to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng saw that the book Qi Yan was reading was a "Strange Story". It records many strange things in the world. He flipped through it casually, and then handed it to Qi Yan.
"There is a record of the Linglong Golden Pagoda in this book!" Qi Yan's words made Luo Feng put the book on the table and flipped through it.
"On this page!" Qi Yan walked up to Luo Feng and flipped the pages with her ivory fingers.
Luo Feng held Qi Yan's hand where he stopped, and then pulled her to sit beside him.
Qi Yan leaned on Luo Feng's body. Luo Feng put his arm around Qi Yan's shoulder and looked at the exquisite golden pagoda in the cross.
The Linglong Golden Pagoda has a total of nine floors, and it is a thing in the treasure pavilion of the previous dynasty. When the previous dynasty fell, Gonggong Jing, who was guarding the Treasure Pavilion, escaped from the palace with only this exquisite golden pagoda.
According to the mysteries in this exquisite golden pagoda, it will emit golden light on the night of the full moon.
The people in the Buddhist sect have Buddha in the golden light, so they also want to get this exquisite golden pagoda.
There are also people who have the effect of this exquisite golden pagoda to keep the town safe! In short, there are many differences, and so on.
Gonggong Jing took the Linglong Golden Pagoda to hide everywhere. He was not only wanted by the imperial court, but also hunted down by people in the rivers and lakes. As a result, the Exquisite Golden Pagoda became more and more mysterious.
Later, on his deathbed, Gonggong Jing gave the Linglong Golden Pagoda to a beggar who lived with him in the ruined temple. He had only one condition, which was to let the beggar send his body back to his hometown of Jingzhou.
Where did the beggar dare to return to Jingzhou with the body of Gonggong Jing. He burned his body and then took his ashes to his hometown where he was buried.
After that, the beggar turned his fortunes. He saved a rich boy and was taken in. Later, he helped his master in his business. Seeing that he was diligent and faithful, the master gave him a shop before he died, and left him to live alone.
Time has passed, and people have gradually forgotten about this exquisite golden pagoda.
Later, the Linglong Golden Pagoda appeared at a banquet. The host of the banquet was Zhang Bingye's grandfather.
The banquet was held on the night of the full moon. Zhang Bingye's grandfather took out the Linglong Golden Pagoda in full view of everyone, but the Linglong Golden Pagoda didn't react in the moonlight
At this point, the legend of the Linglong Golden Pagoda came to an end, and no one coveted it anymore.
"But why did someone steal it this time?" Luo Feng muttered to himself puzzled.
"Maybe it was an accident!" Qi Yan looked up at Luo Feng's handsome face and said softly.
"I hope so! Otherwise, there will be an uproar! "Luo Feng is afraid that someone with a heart will use the legend of this exquisite golden pagoda to deceive people's hearts, and then achieve an unforgivable purpose.
