Chapter 68: The Lion Looks at the Moon

In the middle of the night, the room was brightly lit.

Yang Chengwan knelt in front of Shen Hanxi and swore by his eighteenth generation ancestors that Miss Song's disappearance had nothing to do with him, although he was bullied by her, but he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he didn't dare to do anything to her in his own house. Besides, his house was heavily guarded, and people said that he would lose it, and he was also very confused.

Shen Hanxi listened impatiently and said, "Shut up for this official." ”

He no longer had the patience to deal with this surnamed Yang, and the attendant standing aside also saw his emotions, and stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea: "My lord, you dissipate your anger, Deputy Envoy Wang and Commander Long are on the way here." Miss Song may not have lost it, maybe she went out for a walk......"

Shen Hanxi flicked his sleeves and swept the tea cup to the ground, and Liang Liang interrupted him: "Such a big person, when he goes out for a walk, he doesn't have a pair of eyes to see?" ”

When the people saw that he was angry, they did not dare to continue to speak.

The mute who got the news also hurried to the bottom of the porch, when suddenly he heard the sound of breaking the air, and he quickly flashed to the side, only to see a flying arrow firmly inserted into the pillar.

With murderous aura in his eyes, he chased in the direction where the arrow was fired. The people in the room also heard the movement and came over to check what was going on, Shen Hanxi pulled out the arrow and unfolded the note tied to the end of the arrow.

I saw that it read: "The lion looks back at the moon, and the beauty is drunk and lying on the Phoenix Bridge." There are still two words at the check-in place, "Zishi." ”

The person who delivered the news was so successful that the dumb man only chased a few steps, and then he no longer wasted his physical strength and returned to Shen Hanxi's side. He secretly blamed himself, he knew that he should send Song Ran back to the room safely, how did he know that such a change would happen in such a short period of time......

He bowed his head to Shen Hanxi and said, "Please lend me some manpower." ”

Shen Hanxi said coldly: "Don't bother, the other party even gave a hint." As he spoke, he showed him the note, and the dumb man read the two lines twice, confused, "What does this mean?" ”

Shen Hanxi said: "The official doesn't know either. ”

But the word "sub-time" behind it should be the time limit given by the other party. At this time, there are less than two hours before the end of the sub-hour, and in these two hours, if he can't solve this puzzle, Song Ran's girl ......

His eyes sank slightly, glanced at Yang Chengwan, who was trembling behind him, and said, "These two poems seem to indicate a place, Lord Yang, you are a native of Hangzhou Prefecture, what do you have a clue?" ”

Yang Chengwan was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, his mind spun fast, he read the two lines of poetry a few times, and suddenly said: "My lord, there is a Phoenix Bridge in the west of Hangzhou, and the lower officials immediately sent people to search for Miss Song's whereabouts in that area!" ”

Shen Hanxi's intuition was not so simple, but he couldn't let go of this clue, let him do it first, and he waited patiently for Wang Zhuo and Long Pan to come.

When Wang Zhuo arrived, he was still dressed as a scholar in a green shirt, and after reading the note, he smiled slightly: "My lord, it is not difficult to solve this mystery." Then he instructed the attendants and said, "Go and find the Hangzhou Mansion Chronicle." ”

When he was first transferred to Zhejiang two months ago, he had a look at the Hangzhou Prefecture Chronicles of the past ten years, although he could not write them all down, but as long as he had read the content once, he had the impression of seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, and as soon as he saw the lion, the moon and the Phoenix Bridge, he knew where to go to find clues.

Everyone surrounded him, seeing that he opened the thick book of the Mansion Chronicles, his movements were leisurely, and there was no sense of urgency, Long Pan couldn't help urging him: "Deputy Envoy Wang, you should hurry up." ”

His movements were still slow, and he flipped for a while before his hand stopped and said, "There is." Then he held the booklet in front of Shen Hanxi and said, "My lord, look, it is recorded in this house chronicle that there is a 'champion bridge' in the north of Hangzhou, and it is said that if you walk on this 'champion bridge', you can be a champion." Speaking of this bridge, it still has some relationship with the Ling'an Xie clan. Forty years ago, the two Xie brothers and sisters went to Hangzhou Mansion to play, and after hearing the legend of the high school champion, they walked together on this bridge. Because of this allusion, the local people privately called this bridge the Phoenix Bridge. ”

The dumb man asked, "And what is the meaning of this 'lion looking back at the moon'?" ”

Wang Zhuo replied unhurriedly: "Five years ago, when the Phoenix Bridge collapsed, the officials who were ordered to repair it cut corners and demolished the stones of the houses to make up for it. The so-called "lion looking back at the moon" is actually a door sleeper stone engraved with "lion" and "moon" that was removed from a private house. Therefore, the beauty is drunk and lying on the Phoenix Bridge, which is not the 'Phoenix Bridge' in the west of Hangzhou, but this 'Champion Bridge'. ”

Long Pan's eyes were full of light, and he said to Shen Hanxi: "Don't worry, my lord, I will bring someone over immediately, and I will definitely get Miss Song back!" ”

Shen Hanxi said, "Go and prepare a horse for this official." ”

Long Pan was stunned and persuaded: "My lord, at this time, it is more serious, or leave this matter to the lowly post and the king's deputy envoy......"

Shen Hanxi said coldly: "The official said, prepare the horse." ”

Long Pan and Wang Zhuo glanced at each other, and had to say, "Yes." ”

The subordinates of the Yang Mansion quickly brought a few good horses, and Shen Hanxi walked out of the room, put on the black clothes brought by the attendants, and turned over on the horse neatly, followed by the dumb man and Long Pan and others. The sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence of the night and headed north of the city.

The night is like ink, and only a cold moon overlooks the entire city of Hangzhou. At the same time, a dead soldier of the Mo family was also hurrying on the way to report the news. On the orders of his wife, he secretly paid attention to the whereabouts of the young lady, who expected that he relaxed for a while, and let the young lady be hijacked. He had a tragic face, and if he couldn't find anyone, he would have to apologize with death......

Jiaxing's official post, Qin Duyu listened to the news handed by the man and clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand.

"The subordinates have transferred all the manpower that can be called, even if the entire Hangzhou Mansion is turned out, we must find out the young lady, but I am afraid that if the movement is big, the Hou Ye will be suspicious, and the whereabouts of the young lady ...... I can't hide it. ”

She didn't speak immediately, and said for a long time: "This matter can't be known to Master Hou, and Shaoyuan must also hide it." Shaowei must never return to the Mo family. The woman closed her eyes, and her tone was still steady in the tranquility incense, "Isn't Ting Weisi also looking for it, it is best to find it, and if you can't find it, just leave it." ”

When the dead man retreated, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and spat out the bloody mouthful that was blocked in her throat.

Her hands were propped up on the couch, and there was finally a trace of sadness on her beautiful face. Looking at the pool of blood, she laughed at herself: "Qin Duyu, this is your retribution." ”

For your own sake, you don't even care about the life of your own daughter. Now you deserve what you have inherited.

She clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand and said in a low voice: "Shen Hanxi, today I can only put my daughter's life on you." ”

Since he is the righteous son of that man, he should have this ability.

Shen Hanxi kept going, before the end of the sub-hour, he came to the champion bridge in the north of the city, and the group held torches to search carefully, since the prompt was "lion looking at the moon", the clue must be on the two bridge stones that meet the requirements.

The mute jumped into the water and searched under the bridge, and in a bridge hole on the right, he found two stones, one carved with a lion and the other with a full moon.

Between the two stones, there is a slip of paper.

When he came out of the river, half of the young man's body was already soaked, but he didn't care at all, and showed the note to Shen Hanxi. Wang Zhuo held the lantern and approached it, and found that there were two similar puzzle poems on it, indicating that it should be the next place. At the end of the poem, there are also two words written - "ugly time".

Shen Hanxi has Wang Zhuo by his side, so solving the riddle is naturally not a problem, it's just a matter of time. By the time the rooster crowed, everyone had already run to three places, and Long Pan couldn't help but scold: "This robber who killed a thousand knives, is he playing with his grandfathers?" Okay, grandpa will accompany you to the end! ”

Since the masked man left, Song Ran has been paying attention to the incense stick he left behind. Normal incense sticks should not burn for long, and the top of this one is probably made of hands and feet, and it burns very slowly.

She didn't know that the masked man was Jiang Lili, and she couldn't guess her intentions, so she felt a little upset in her heart, if this incense stick was burned, Shen Hanxi couldn't find it, what would be her fate? The thought that her family might come to her first place made her feel like she had been grabbed by a hand.

This feeling of pinning her fate on others, she doesn't like it very much, but she has nothing to do.

Thinking of the night she was kidnapped, Shen Hanxi was with the beauty named Cha Cha, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but show a bitter smile. He may still be in Gentle Township at this time, and he didn't notice that she was missing at all.

He had made it clear to her that day that he would not see her again after returning to the capital, and a person like him would naturally not attach much importance to the love of his children, not to mention that she was so ignorant in front of him.

She simply didn't have the right to expect anything from him.

She hunched down on the table and closed her eyes amid mixed emotions. In the middle of the way, someone brought her a second meal, and although she had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat a little, and then fell asleep at her desk. When I woke up again, there was only a short piece of incense stick on the table. It was getting late outside, and before I knew it, a day had passed.

At this time, the two men guarding the door were also taking a nap with torches.

Miss Jiang was having fun this time, but they stayed here for a day, and they were tired to death. As he was in the middle of his stomach, he suddenly saw his companion who was hiding on the opposite roof gesturing to the place, and the two looked at each other and threw the torch towards the room that had been doused with pine resin.

After throwing it away, the two looked at the flames that were swaying up at the "poof", and were silent, and one of them asked, "Did you pour a little too much pine resin?" ”

Another said: "It seems to be." ”

The code continued to be typed over there: "People are coming, evacuate quickly!" ”

They couldn't do that much, so they had to cover their faces and evacuate with the people who let the wind loose.

This is an abandoned courtyard, hidden very secretly, the group of Ting Weisi has been running around for a day, Long Pan and the mute have been practicing martial arts all year round, but Wang Zhuo has already shown fatigue. He is a civil official, and today for this little girl, he tossed so much that his waist was about to break.

However, as soon as he looked up and saw a house exactly like the one depicted in the prompt, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "My lord, this is it!" ”

Before he got closer, Long Pan smelled a pungent smell, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be smoking inside." ”

Wang Zhuo's throat trembled, and he didn't care about his image as a literati, and scolded: "These gang of people who kill a thousand knives actually set fire to the house, if Miss Song is inside, ...... it"

Shen Hanxi had already run to the front of the house, and after dismounting, he saw a copper lock hanging on the door, and immediately dodged and called: "Dumb." ”

The young man who followed him dismounted, took a hook and stabbed the lock open. As soon as he entered the door, thick smoke went straight into his nose, choking Long Pan and taking a few steps back. I saw that the room in front of me was completely in flames, and looking at this situation, I was afraid that the people inside would be more than lucky.

He couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency should stay outside......

Shen Hanxi had already walked to the well next to him, and when he saw that there was still half a bucket of water in the wooden barrel next to him, he immediately took off his cloak, wet it with water, and put it on his body again, saying, "You stay here, this official is enough." ”

As he spoke, he rushed into the flames.

Where were the dumb men willing to listen, and they also heeled in. After Shen Hanxi entered, he was also choked by the smoke and frowned, and he called in a deep voice: "Song Ran." ”

He called a few times in a row, and suddenly heard a low voice coming, with a little weakness and a little hesitation: "My lord? ”
