A few moments later, the roar of her Beetle's engine could be heard downstairs, but it sounded like it was always idling, and it didn't start to leave.

I guess she was calling someone in the car.

I guessed wrong.

A few seconds later, I received a WeChat message from Shen Xingyue, with only four words: Manwen old file.

However, as soon as I read those four words, she withdrew the message.

The beetle then activates, and the sound fades away until it disappears.

Manchu old file, what is it?

When I was undecided, I touched my phone from the bedside and typed in these four words.

Baidu has it, it's not a secret, involving the "Manchu old file" a lot of entries, Baidu gives the explanation is: the Qing Dynasty Emperor Taiji period in Manchu written official history book files, not a general history, but a section of the history of the book, the first paragraph is recorded from the first nine years of the Mandate of Heaven, to the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven, that is, the history of 1607-1626 AD, the second is the history of the first year of Tiancong to the sixth year (1627-1632), the third paragraph is the history of the first year of Chongde (1636) alone, three paragraphs, A total of 27 years of history.

Looking at these time periods, I quickly understood what Shen Xingyue meant.

It is now clear that Muzig's imprisonment happened in 1622, just in the middle of the time period of this "Manchu Old Files", and Shen Xingyue was prompting me to go to the historical materials to find the answer.

However, when I searched the electronic version of "Manchu Old Files" on the Internet, I found that the content was fragmented and I couldn't bear to read it.

When there is a physical book for sale, but it is delivered, it takes another three days.

I had an idea, I looked up the local Xinhua bookstore in Fucheng, called to ask if there was a book, the store manager said no, but he suggested that I go to the library to see, Fucheng is located in the hometown of Manchuria, the library has a lot of books about the history of Manchuria, there should be this book.

I am now unable to move, can not take the wrong road, and found the phone of the Fucheng Library, and asked if there is a book, there is indeed a book in the computer database, but because the book has been published for too long, the book is about to rot, the year before was disposed of and put into the warehouse, I don't know if it can be found.

"Please, help me find it," I pleaded, "and when it's done, beauty, I'll treat you to dinner!" ”

Don't look at me as single, but the relationship between women has always been good, and the gentle female administrator on the other side readily agreed and asked me to wait for news.

Ten minutes later, the female administrator called back, really let her find it, and asked me when I would come to the library.

"Here it goes! Keep it for me, don't lend it to anyone else! ”

Hung up the phone, I endured a certain part of the discomfort, got dressed, left the hotel, took a taxi to the library, passed by a shopping mall, I asked the driver to stop, went in and bought a bottle of Dior perfume, more than 800 yuan, I don't know if the grade is high, anyway, it's a heart, I tried it on my wrist, the smell is unique, it smells good.

When I arrived at the library, I was a little surprised to see the female administrator, I didn't expect that there were so many beauties in the small Fucheng, how to say what they looked like, it was not Shen Xingyue's bewitching and charming type, but the cute type of the little sister next door, a bit like a host who has been very popular recently, called Bingbing, the one who played a good hand of cards.

Moreover, her name is Bingbing - it says on the badge.

Zheng Bingbing.

I presented the perfume gift, Zheng Bingbing was quite pleased, and handed me the book directly, saying that the book had expired, and she had the right to delete it from the system database and give it to me for nothing.

I kept an eye on it and said I wanted to see the borrowing history of the book.

The library management system has been recording since 2008, and this old Manchu file has only two borrowing registrations.

The last one was Shen Xingyue, who borrowed it in 2020.

The previous record occurred in 2017, borrowed by: Song Lei.

It makes sense.

Zheng Bingbing and I added WeChat to each other, and after thanking each other again, I took the book and took a taxi back to the hotel.

After some tossing and turning in the hospital in the afternoon, it was almost evening, and I was eating the leftovers of Milanese pastries while carefully flipping through the "Old Manchu Files" - I had to be careful, the book was published in the seventies of the last century, the price was only 2.33 yuan, and the paper was already a little jade, and it would fall off with a little effort.

Chronologically, I soon found the record from 1622......
