Chapter 18: Return to Kyoto

This kind of place is very symbolic, Lin Qianxing will never go to that kind of place just to hear it.

However, Lin Qianxing guessed that Tan Lian also knew that he would definitely not meet him there, so he probably planned to ask Lin Qianxing to give him a new meeting place at that time.

Lin Qianxing hesitated for a long time about returning to Kyoto, not knowing whether to go or not.

He was originally a thief, even if the case of Linglong Jade Gut was investigated clearly, he was still a thief who could not see the light.

So he didn't have to risk it at all.

But Lin Qianxing was a little unwilling.

He didn't want to just carry that black pot on his back and run away for the rest of his life.

So he was faced with two choices.

The first one is to slowly increase his strength until he can ignore the pursuit of the Anti-Evil Division.

The second is to participate in the investigation, find out the delicate and courageous things as soon as possible, and get rid of the fate of being entangled by the Anti-Evil Division.

The theft of Linglong Guts may require a wanted warrant to arrange for the Silver Arrest of the Anti-Evil Division to be arrested, but if it is just to catch a thief, it is not necessary.

Then he would be able to sleep again in his bed, instead of in a cave, and sit at the dining table and eat a hot meal instead of eating dry food and stolen cold cooked food in the wilderness.

Lin Qianxing is not an impatient person, but he has been waiting for almost three months.

It's the end of September, and the weather is getting cooler from the heat to the places where he is.

He really couldn't imagine the miserable state of his winter in the wilderness.

I can't bear it anymore, isn't it just stealing something in the capital?

He is not now a "half wing" who can only climb over a courtyard wall, but a "flying dove" who can come and go freely in the sky.

So, Lin Qianxing began to return to the location of Wuding City in Kyoto.

He traveled straight all the way and made it back to Kyoto in less than three days.

This is still because he took a little rest halfway, otherwise Lin Qianxing would have enough time to reach the location in one day with full firepower.

After arriving at the location, Lin Qianxing notified Tan Lian.

Tan Lian and he agreed to meet at noon.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, Lin Qianxing found that no one was following him, so he used a flying knife to inform him to meet him at the designated place.

Lin Qianxing's agreed meeting place was by a small river, surrounded by flat land, there was no obstacle, and it was not easy to set up an ambush.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, he saw Lin Qianxing's figure appear on the other side of the river.

"You're overcautious." Tan Lian was a little speechless.

"You haven't been poisoned, have you? Haven't you ever been trapped in a trap? Haven't been ambushed, have you? In the past two months, I have encountered more than a dozen times! Lin Qianxing said with some exaggeration.

In fact, he had been ambushed once, poisoned once, and then he began to be vigilant, and he didn't even go into the city to rest, and since then, no one has been able to use subordinate means to attack him.

Tan Lian was a little silent, and then said, "Since you're here, let's get down to business!" ”

"I'm not going to talk nonsense either." Lin Qianxing Road.

"I guess that the delicate jade gall is in the hands of Tian Shouping, the deputy commander of the Anti-Evil Division, you go to his residence to find out if the things are in his house." Tan Lian said.

"What kind of cultivation is he?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"Refining the gods." Tan Lian said as plainly as possible.

Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows, and then said, "I remembered that I still had something to do, so I left first!" ”

Just kidding, after the quenching realm is the realm of refining gods, he doesn't dare to touch the quenching master, when he meets the master of refining the gods, will he go up and send it?

"You don't have to worry, you won't collide with him head-on, I found out that every night on the fifth day of the new year, he will enter the palace to play chess with the saint, it's fine." Tan Lian hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"You know everything so secret?" Lin Qianxing was a little surprised and asked, "Can you tell me the details of the case you investigated?" ”

Tan Lian nodded and said, "I started to investigate what happened in the palace on the night of the fifth day of the seventh month. ”

"Later, I found out that that night, Xuanru Hall went to the water, a large number of guards went to Xuanru Hall to put out the fire, coincidentally, at that time, the saint was in the Xuanru Hall with the Linglong Jade Guts and Tian Deputy Commander to play chess, seeing the fire, he handed over the Linglong Jade Guts to the Jiang Nei of the Imperial Prison, and asked him to take it back for preservation, accompanied by a palace maid named Lotus and two Qixuan Army guards."

"Linglong Jade Guts was not missing when Jiang Nei brought it back to the imperial prison, and it was not until the next day that anyone found that the thing was missing."

"At the beginning, I didn't think about Deputy Commander Tian, first, it was unrealistic to steal Linglong Jade Guts in front of the saint, and secondly, he shouldn't have done this kind of thing, until I investigated the matter of Xuanru Palace's water and accidentally found a name."

Speaking of this, Tan Lian paused slightly.

Lin Qianxing was shocked by Tan Lian's ability to investigate the case, and took over and said, "What's the name?" ”

"Tian Xuanru!" Tan Lian replied: "A concubine who was once very favored by the saint was mistakenly killed by the saint because she was involved in a case in the palace, and in order to commemorate her, he named a palace where she lived before her death as Xuanru Palace. ”

"Is she related to Tian Shouping?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"That's right, she is the sister of Deputy Commander Tian." Tan Lian said.

"So, Tian Shouping's ability to achieve the position of deputy commander of the Anti-Evil Division is also related to his sister's death? Is this the Holy Heaven's compensation for him? Lin Qianxing said suddenly.

"Not exactly, he is indeed very capable, at least as far as I know, since he took office, many old cases in the capital have been easily handled by him, and he has always been impartial, he has never heard of accepting bribes, you know, even the grand commander has more or less accepted other people's things." Tan Lian retorted.

"Even so, how did you tie the two things together?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"The palace has always been very well prepared against the matter of walking water, the last time the palace went to the water, it was more than a hundred years ago, and Xuanru Hall usually except for the saint, only Deputy Commander Tian can come and go freely." Tan Lian said.

"It is impossible for the Holy Lord to burn down the Xuanru Temple, so Tian Shouping has a problem?" Lin Qianxing said suddenly: "He caused a fire, attracted attention, and took the opportunity to arrange for someone to steal the Linglong jade gall, and at the same time, because he had been following the saint, he removed his motive for committing the crime. ”

"That's pretty much it, and the Holy Exquisite Jade Guts have the most contact with the Imperial Eunuch, that is, Deputy Commander Tian, so he is also the most likely to steal the Linglong Jade Guts." Tan Lian nodded.

"What the hell do you think that's for?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"I don't know, but I've found out where it came from ancient books." Tan Lian said.

"Tell me about it." Lin Qianxing Road.

"The god gold and treasure jade cast five tripods, but left three points of sincerity, skillfully carved the jade pill, yin and yang are exquisite." Tan Lian opened his mouth and spit out a poem.

"What does this poem mean?" Lin Qianxing blinked, not understanding the allusion here.

"Do you know the origin of Wuding City?" Tan Lian asked.

Lin Qianxing shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, our Emperor Taizu of the Great Yu Kingdom collected the world's precious materials, cast five tripods, suppressed the luck of the Great Yu country, these five tripods are the mountains and rivers Ding, the Ten Thousand Beasts Ding, the rivers and rivers Ding, the humane Ding and the Changnong Ding, each of which has a corresponding mysterious power, making the Dayu Kingdom prosperous at that time, and the location of the Wuding at that time was here, so this place is called the Wuding City." Speaking of this, Tan Lian paused slightly, and then said: "And that exquisite jade gall is a playpiece carved from the materials left behind when the Wuding was cast. ”

Lin Qianxing was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't expect that there was such a legendary story about the origin of the name of Wuding City.

And what he didn't expect was that the exquisite jade gall was actually made of the leftovers left by Wuding.

It is said that the leftovers of Wuding, which can suppress a country's luck, are not simple?

No wonder the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom was so angry when things were lost.

However, compared to this, Lin Qianxing's opinion of Tan Lian has also been refreshed again.

He also knew that even if Tan Lian was covered with a layer of anti-evil skin, the secret information in the palace would definitely not be allowed to be investigated by him, let alone know some small details of the emperor.

It can only be said that Tan Lian's ability to handle cases and investigate things is indeed very powerful.

"In that case, when and where do I act?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"It's two days before the fifth day of October, and if you come back a little later, you probably have to wait until next month." Tan Lian said, took out a map and put it on the ground, pressed it with a stone, and then said: "This is the map I drew in the inner city of Kyoto, which marks the residence of Deputy Commander Tian, and he will be inspected when he enters the palace to meet the saint, so the things must not be brought with him, so you go to his house on the fifth day of the tenth month to search to know if it is the exquisite jade gall he stole from him." ”

"What if something is there for him?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"You inform me directly, I will bring someone in to search, as long as I find Linglong Jade Guts, everything will be easy." Tan Lian said.

"You're so reckless? Aren't you afraid that I'll be greedy for things, or lie that there is a delicate jade in it? Lin Qianxing asked.

Tan Lian shook his head and said: "You don't dare, you can't do this, we are already grasshoppers on a rope now, once something happens to me, I will definitely explain your killing of Feng Jie as soon as possible, and then it will be easy to find you by means of the Evil Division......"

"You're right, I really can't do that." Lin Qianxing nodded.

Tan Lian glanced at Lin Qianxing, he actually had something to say, that is, he felt that the saint actually knew that the exquisite jade gall was stolen by Tian Shouping, but he just pretended not to know.

But there is no need to say this, he is afraid that if he says it himself, with Lin Qianxing's courage, he will not dare to take risks.

"You already know the matter, so so be it, I'll go back first." Tan Lian said hello and planned to leave.

"Wait!" Lin Qianxing stopped Tan Lian and said, "That, do you know how to forge bones?" ”
