Chapter 21: The Court of Jade Juejia
After a long time, Yi Lao's footsteps appeared again in the depths of the second floor.
Su Wan hurriedly greeted her.
Yi Lao stood still, but he didn't have the lapis lazuli in his hand.
Su Wu's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Yi Lao, where is the lapis lazuli?" ”
Yi Lao glanced at Su Wu with a complicated expression, and pointed to the Tangli wooden chair not far away with a wooden bamboo cane: "It's a long story, sit down and talk." ”
"Girl, what's your last name?"
"The surname is Sue."
"Sue?" A trace of confusion flashed in Yi Lao's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "This shouldn't be..."
"How?" Listening to Yi Lao's words, Su Wan asked suspiciously.
"Nothing." Yi Lao tapped the ground with his cane again and asked, "Do you know what the use of lapis lazuli is?" ”
Su Wan shook her head.
A glimmer of light flashed in Yi Lao's eyes: "Lapis lazuli, produced in the Yuan Kingdom, is used to seal important jade seals, there are many refining methods for lapis lazuli, and only by using the corresponding smelting method can the jade seal sealed in the stone be taken out intact." ”
After saying that, Yi Lao stretched out his withered right hand, opened his palm, and a piece of cyan jade was lying on the palm. Although this jade jue is cyan, the shape of the carving is very similar to a phoenix seal, and Su Wu couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Looking at the cyan jade, a bold guess surged out of her heart, Su Wu couldn't help but look at Yi Lao in surprise, and asked, "Could this be refined from that lapis lazuli?" ”
Yi Lao glanced at Su Wan appreciatively: "Not bad." ”
Taking the jade jue from Yi Lao's hand, Su Yu looked left and right, and felt more and more familiar with this piece of jade, but she couldn't tell where she had seen it.
The movement of the hand made the side of the hand hurt slightly, and thinking of her own blood, Su Wan asked, "Could it be that taking my blood is also part of the smelting method?" ”
Yi Lao nodded, glanced at the wound next to Su Wan's hand, and asked, "Do you remember who gave you the lapis lazuli?" ”
Such an abrupt question made Su Wu stunned, and she replied casually: "Yes..."
"Who is it?" Yi Lao glanced at Su Wu inquiringly.
"Yes..."Su Wu tried to say the name, but found that she didn't remember!
How can it be! Obviously I only got the lapis lazuli yesterday, how can I not remember who gave me the stone? Su Wu tried hard to recall, but she couldn't even remember how she got the lapis lazuli.
The more she thought about it, the more dizzy her head became, Su Wan stopped recalling, and looked at Yi Lao's eyes with a little guardedness and a little sharp: "What's the matter?" ”
"You don't remember?" Yi Lao looked at Su Wu meaningfully: "That's right." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's a ban set by the person who smelted the lapis lazuli, and it will make you forget the person who gave you the stone, including everything about that person." Yi Lao looked at Su Wu, who obviously didn't believe it, and smiled faintly:
"This is the secret technique of the Dongying Ning family in the past, you are not capable enough now, and it will not be good for you to know too much."
Dong Yingning's family?
It seems that I have seen it in a certain book, the Dongying Ning family is good at Qimen Dunjia and all kinds of strange secret techniques, but the Dongying Ning family was wiped out a hundred years ago!
Su Wan wanted to ask something, but Yi Lao waved his hand impatiently: "You came to Tianshu Pavilion because you ran into trouble, right?" Deal with the things in front of you first, these things are not something you can touch right now, at least..."
Yi Lao paused for a moment: "At least you can't learn more until you are admitted to the Lintian Academy." ”
Hearing this, Su Wu felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart. Is it because the ability is not enough?
So, there is no other choice.
With a wry smile, Su Wan asked, "Yi Lao, do you know why Su An's Su Mansion was copied in the original Hubu Langzhong?" ”
"This is your home, isn't it?" Yi Lao got up: "You are also a benevolent child, and wait for the old man, the old man will tell you after reading the latest news." ”
I saw Yi Lao looking for the rows of bookshelves, and after a long time, he stopped by the bookshelf by the window, took out something similar to a book, and flipped through it.
The reason why it is said to be a similar book is because the words on the book have never been seen by Su Wan! This is not the script of Xiguo, nor is it the script of Huaguo, is it the script of Yuanguo?
Su Wu guessed wildly, Yi Lao had finished reading, sat down on the Tang pear wooden chair again, and looked at Su Wu sympathetically:
"You're really in trouble this time."
Su Wan's heart sank.
"Xi Guozhi" contains, on the ninth day of January in the ninth year of Jiaxi, Xixian County ordered Su An to return to Beijing to report on his work, and the scene of living and working in peace and contentment in Ming County was very happy. Yi Lao stroked his long gray beard and asked, "The old man is not wrong about the records in the "Xi Guozhi", right?" ”
Seeing Su Wan nodding, Yi Lao continued: "Do you know the real reason why your father returned to Beijing to report on work?" ”
My father's return to Beijing to report on his work was not simply because of the expiration of his term of office, but because there was something else hidden? Thinking like this, Su Wu's mood became heavier and heavier.
"Your father entered Beijing by the secret order of the current emperor, in order to investigate the bribery case of the right prime minister's royal family. In recent years, the Wang family has relied on its power and acted more and more unscrupulously, which has touched the bottom line of today's Emperor Xi, but after all, the power of the Wang family is deep-rooted and complex, and Emperor Xi is not a last resort, and does not want to cut off the power of the Wang family and cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. Yi Lao said, looked at Su Wu who was listening with a serious face, and continued:
"This is a pity for your father. Emperor Xi summoned him back to Beijing and sent a secret line to reveal to the people of the Wang family that your father was here to investigate and punish them, and wanted to see the reaction of the Wang family. If the Wang family knew how to be restrained, Emperor Xi might let them go, but if they were still rampant, Emperor Xi would not let them go. ”
"It's a pity that the people of the Wang family don't know how to restrain themselves, they borrowed a pot of cloud bamboo to frame your father for accepting bribes, and the emperor Xi will plan and suppress this matter, but silently exile your father, the purpose is to let your father collect more evidence of the Wang family's crimes along the way, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the Wang family in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Su Wu looked at Yi Lao in disbelief: "That Yunzhu was bought by me to Su Mansion, how can the people of the Wang family use it?" ”
Yi Lao picked up his crutches and got up with his strength: "The old man has already said in detail, and the rest is up to you." ”
After walking far away, Yi Lao's voice came again: "If you think of a solution, you can come to Tianshu Pavilion with Qingyujue, and Tianshu Pavilion will help you." ”
Walking out of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Su Wan felt that her thoughts were still very chaotic. The information that Yi Lao gave her was huge, but she keenly understood that if she wanted to overturn the case, she must overthrow the Wang family.
But he is just a student of Qingyun Academy, and he has no power in the capital, how to deal with the Wang family?
It seems that we still have to start with that pot of cloud bamboo. Thinking like this, Su Wu instructed Zhili: "You find someone, and in the future, you will keep an eye on the store where I used to buy Yunzhu every day, and if there is any change, tell me immediately." ”
"The slave knows."
Walked out of the alley where Tianshuge is located and walked on the royal street, but found that the royal street was crowded with people, and it was extremely lively.
Su Wu couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhishu has a lively temperament, and he likes such a lively scene, so he hurriedly smiled: "The slave is going to investigate." ”
