Chapter 293: Speaking of Luzhou, of course, there must be a bag of black charcoal
Zhang Shanshui was speechless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was tempted to ask—was it really good that you stole the letter from the other side like that?"
But Bai Zhi would definitely answer him: "How can the affairs of the Jianghu people be regarded as stealing?" ”
The two of them casually found a teahouse, sat down on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, two side dishes, and looked at the busy street below, with an endless stream of busy people, but they were so leisurely, they couldn't help but have a sense of detachment.
Bai Zhi observed the appearance of the letters, and the letters copied through projection magic can be said to be the same as the original, and even the high-level magic that treasures can be copied, and it is natural to copy only a few pieces of paper and ink.
"The material of this letter is very good, the packaging is a special loose grease, and the envelope wrapped in the outer layer is also a special product of the royal family......" Zhang Shanshui checked it, and said with a solemn face: "Although these are just daily necessities, even the disciples of the sect can't get their hands on them, and the children of the official eunuch family can't use them, only the people of the martial family can get them." ”
"It is related to the royal family, this is not surprising, that Lin Chong is a member of the Royal Forest Army, and he is naturally loyal to the royal family with a sword and guards in front of the palace." Bai Zhi smiled: "What is the content of the envelope is the point. ”
He opened the envelope and took out the rice paper inside, the high-quality rice paper had a little ink fragrance, and when it was unfolded, a line of beautiful handwriting came into view.
Seeing this, Zhang Shanshui praised: "What a heroic word! ”
Bai Zhi nodded and observed for a moment: "The pen is obviously written in a hurry, and many places are uneven and unfair, and it is not an official document...... And this font, although heroic, but open and not too atmospheric, should be written by a woman. ”
"Isn't it, just look at the content." Zhang Shanshui said with a smile: "Analyzing the details, I am naturally not as strong as Little Brother Bai, but I can still read letters." ”
In the time of a stick of incense, Bai Zhi carefully read every sentence of it, and handed it to Zhang Shanshui without saying a word.
Zhang Shanshui took it and read it carefully, and then he found that it seemed to be ...... It's really just an ordinary family letter.
"Isn't it normal?" Bai Zhi asked.
"It's not normal...... Lin Chong was so anxious, obviously he had something important to inform the local government, but this letter was just an ordinary family letter, and no matter how you looked at it, there were secrets inside. Zhang Shanshui guessed: "Could it be that this actually needs to be flooded or roasted in order to show the real message?" ”
"How can it be ......" Bai Zhi rolled his eyes: "I have analyzed its structure, it is just ordinary paper and ink, and there are no special secrets...... The real secret lies in the words, which are supposed to be anagrams. ”
"Anagram ......" Zhang Shanshui smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about anagrams, I haven't even seen a question mark." ”
"It probably takes a special way to decipher, like Morse code or something." Bai Zhi put away the letter, shook his head and sighed lightly: "I underestimated the wisdom of the person who wrote this letter, this woman obviously guessed the result that the letter would fall into the hands of others, so she used this method...... However, the message conveyed by such a letter is certainly limited. ”
Zhang Shanshui put down the teacup and guessed again: "Are you suspicious, this is actually not that complicated?" ”
"Hmm...... If you want to pass the letter from here to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, it is too far away, obviously there is someone who can interpret it in this Luzhou city, he may not be a member of the royal family, maybe as long as he is a smart enough person can interpret it. Bai Zhi said and saw Zhang Shanshui's smiling expression, he hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't look at me, I haven't figured it out yet...... Don't really think of me as a smart person, I'm just a little more thoughtful than the average person. ”
The swordsman laughed, "At least, you're much more likely than me to solve anagrams." ”
Zhang Shanshui knew that he was stupid, so he didn't deliberately think about the answer, just drank herbal tea, ate pastries, watched people coming and going, busy traffic, and listened to the shouts and laughter of the people on the table next to him.
After a while, the herbal tea was almost finished, Bai Zhi dropped the letter, lay on the table and said with a wry smile: "No...... I can't figure it out...... I have changed more than a dozen thinking patterns to deduce, but no matter whether I interpret Sudoku in the way of Sudoku or in the way of vertical and horizontal comparison, I can't answer the correct answer. ”
Zhang Shanshui was speechless for a moment, and then muttered: "It seems that this puzzle is probably ...... It doesn't have much to do with the mindset. ”
"After all, this is a family letter, and many of the texts are elaborate, and I suspect that it may be related to the cultural literature of the native world...... In other words, this heroic woman who writes dragon flying phoenix dance is actually a talented woman who knows how to dance and write......" Bai Zhi pressed his eyebrows: "I have no problem with this aspect of things." ”
Zhang Shanshui smiled awkwardly: "I practice swords freely, although I am literate in reading, but after all, I have never learned difficult articles, and this kind of remote article is even more unheard of, and I can't help it." ”
"I didn't expect you to help...... Bai Zhi put away the letter, got up and said, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" Zhang Shanshui was stunned.
"Go find someone who can interpret this letter." Bai Zhi replied.
"Who can interpret the letters?" Zhang Shanshui was still puzzled.
"Smart people." Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously.
He raised his hand and said, "Little Er checks out!" ”
"Come on!" The shopkeeper walked over and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, a total of seventeen yuan." ”
"Give you a tael of silver, don't look for it, I'll tip you the rest." Bai Zhi made a generous move.
"One...... Or! The surprise on the expression of the shopkeeper could not be concealed, this was his salary for half a month's work, and he hurriedly thanked Dade to express his gratitude.
When he stretched out his hand to borrow money, Bai Zhi said again: "Don't worry, I have something to inquire with you, I am satisfied with what I said, and I will add one or two to you." ”
"You ask! Just ask! It's not me who blows, in the entire city of Luzhou, our entire teahouse has a lot of guests, and I listen to all the rumors and news on weekdays! I remember it clearly! The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he nodded, with a confident look of knowing everything.
"My question is not so exaggerated, there is only one-" Bai Zhi asked with a smile, "Do you know who the smartest person in Luzhou City is?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he didn't expect to be asked such a nonsensical question, his expression was stunned, and he couldn't answer for a while, but under the temptation of two taels of broken silver in Bai Zhi's palm, he hurriedly patted his head and racked his brains.
Suddenly, he thought of someone: "Hey! This man! You really asked the right person, I just heard a news two days ago, that it was said that there is a very smart student in Hanlin Academy, he is not only eight years old, but also very smart! Although he is only from a humble family, he has real talent and learning, and has helped the government solve several murder cases! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Bai Zhi came to be interested.
"That's right, he's really smart, I've seen him once, in the middle of the city, he caught a thief who stole the money of the old man who sold the baked cakes, and he used extremely clever methods, he was really a smart man! No, Luzhou City is the smartest! He was afraid that he wouldn't speak loud enough, so he hurriedly added a prefix, blowing the sky, and said that he was about to become the smartest person in the world.
Bai Zhi naturally knew Xiao Er's thoughts, and didn't care about his words, and then asked: "What is his name, what does he look like, and where does his family live?" ”
"He's called Bao Zheng! The bag of the bun, the salvation of the life! It's a little weird, his skin is as black as carbon, and he has a birthmark on his forehead with a waning moon, he doesn't look very handsome, he likes to wear scholar's clothes, and he studies in Hallym Academy. His family is a medical center, his mother is a servant, often help people to treat diseases, low money, philanthropy, is a good family, live in Beicheng District, you, go straight along this road, turn right, walk three streets to the front of the distance can be found, if you don't know, I will draw a map for you. The shopkeeper said, dipping his fingers in some tea and drawing a simple and easy-to-understand map on the table.
"That's it." Bai Zhi nodded and threw the silver over.
The shopkeeper took it with joy and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you to the guest officer, thank you to the guest officer, continue to come next time!" ”
He sent the two away with a smile, smiling and reaping the month's wages, he was in a very happy mood, and he even had a little more energy to work and run the hall.
The two walked on the street, and Zhang Shanshui said, "Go to that ...... now Bao Zhengjia? ”
"Of course, since he is a smart man and a scholar, he should be able to help." Bai Zhi didn't stop, and said lightly: "If he doesn't believe it, then he is looking for someone to ask, but if it doesn't work, we can only wait for Lin Chong to find it himself." ”
"Will he come? He didn't even have an address left, so it's unlikely he could find it. Zhang Shanshui didn't believe it.
"After a little inquiry, we can find the hotel we are staying in, after all, it is an outsider, and there are not too many inns in Luzhou City." Bai Zhi was full of confidence and insight: "If he is a real man, how could he let the life-saving benefactor run away?" After all, this is a major event related to his face and human dignity, and he will definitely take the initiative to find it, for three days at most, or one day at least. ”
"Little Brother Bai, is this trick called wanting to capture and indulge?" Zhang Shanshui groaned.
"Yes, yes." Bai Zhi smiled darkly.
The two of them followed the street, according to the route told by the shopkeeper, and soon found a medical center, which was indeed more lively, and how many people in shabby clothes were queuing up here for medical treatment.
Most of these people are poor people who can't afford to see a doctor or buy medicine for their injuries, but they can only come here to seek medical treatment because they are suffering from their illnesses and cannot afford to treat them.
He didn't care about the people queuing up next to him, and walked directly into the courtyard, how many people had the heart to dissuade him, but he saw that the two were handsome young men with heroic postures, dressed luxuriously, and their instruments were magnificent, either rich or expensive. Zhang Shanshui is even more with a sword, a chivalrous posture, these people and farmers living at the bottom of the society are acquaintances, they don't dare to provoke them at all, they can only say it from the bottom of their hearts, and after a few glances, they will stop fighting.
Entering the old courtyard, there was a lady dressed as a peasant woman in the medical hall who was checking the patient's pulse, and the hall was quiet, even if someone was in unbearable pain, she didn't dare to hum, for fear of disturbing her.
"Aunt Bao, I'm sick, are you okay?" One patient asked apprehensively.
"It's okay, you just suffered from the wind chill and ate fresh food, which caused acute colic pain in the abdomen, I will prescribe medicine for you, go back and boil it and it will be fine...... You don't have the money to pay, don't rush it, just pay it back slowly later, go ahead. Although she is over forty years old and full of wrinkles, she can still see the beauty of her young face, and the most beautiful thing is her doctor's benevolence.
"Next ...... Well? Who are you? "Aunt Bao frowned slightly when she saw the two 'uninvited guests', Bai Zhi and the two blocked the line of patients behind, obviously cutting in line, which made the aunt unhappy, and her tone was unpleasant: "I'm here in the medical hall, not the martial arts hall, are you in the wrong place?" You need to queue up to see a doctor, please go elsewhere for other things, otherwise don't stand in the way of people behind you to see a doctor! ”
