Gu Qingzhang held his breath tightly, and the sound of pushing the door soon sounded, and the old bustard diligently brought Fang Zhong into the room.

"Lord Fang, forgive me," she looked at the mess all over the ground, her expression a little embarrassed, "When I searched before, those people didn't pay attention to it. ”

Fang Zhong waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

He glanced around the room and asked the servants who followed him to rummage through it, and he said, "You must look for me carefully, no matter what remote corners, you know?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Qingzhang lay on the beam of the room, careful not to show his figure, he poked his head out to watch Fang Chong's movements, wanting to see if he could find the account book.

The chess on the dresser also quickly caught Fang Zhong's eyes, and his years of experience made him keenly aware that something was wrong with this chess, and he moved a few steps forward to find out.

"Smack-"

A subtle cracking sound sounded, and Fang Zhong looked down and found that under his feet was a bronze mirror that had been broken by him.

Gu Qingzhang, who was probing his brain on the roof beam, saw his movements, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he quickly retracted his head and hid behind the roof beam again.

"Did you read it wrong?"

Fang Chong always felt that a shadow had just flashed quickly in the bronze mirror, but when he looked up at the roof, he didn't find anything.

Could it be that he was so stressed during this time that he was wrong? Fang Zhong furrowed his eyebrows tightly, his suspicious personality made it difficult for him to let go.

"You," he casually ordered one of the servants, "go to the beams and see if there's any." ”

Gu Qingzhang's heart sank suddenly, there was no way to avoid the beams, as long as the servants came up to find out, then he would definitely be able to find himself, and I am afraid that there would be a bitter battle at that time.

At this moment, a servant who was searching the chess board suddenly exclaimed: "My lord, this chessboard is wrong! ”

"Wait-" Fang Zhong called out to the servant who was about to go up the beam, and he walked forward quickly, "What's wrong with the chessboard?" ”

The servant picked up the chessboard and shook it in his ear, looking a little hesitant: "My lord, the chessboard of the chess should be solid wood, but the villain just picked up the chessboard and shook it, but found that something seemed to be ringing inside." ”

Fang Chong's attention was all attracted by the chessboard in front of him, and he no longer cared about the movement on the beam, but immediately ordered the left and right to split the chessboard with a knife.

The servant's cry also attracted Gu Qingzhang, and he saw Fang Zhong walking to the dresser, and no one paid attention to the beams anymore, so he was not afraid to probe again.

After searching for a long time, the men found that the chessboard was indeed tightly knit and difficult to open, so they could only carefully split the chessboard with a knife.

"Bump—"

The board was quickly split in half, one half accidentally dropped to the ground, and the other half lay on the dresser.

But to Fang Chong's disappointment, there was no ledger in the chessboard that he had been thinking about day and night, only a slender silk of one and a half inches.

He picked up the silk on the chessboard, unfolded the silk and prepared to see what was written inside, his current posture was facing away from Gu Qingzhang, which happened to be a direction that would allow the other party to see the content of the silk.

As the silk slowly unfolded, Gu Qingzhang was very surprised after seeing the content, and Fang Zhong was also shocked at this moment, he pinched the thin silk and was a little speechless for a while.

Because what is written on the silk is not where the account book is, but the big characters of eight characters: Princes and generals, rather have a kind?

Fang Zhong was so frightened that he clutched the silk tightly in his hand, he coughed twice, and forcibly calmed down to let his subordinates continue to search, while he himself moved over the stool and sat down on the side.

What these eight words represent, both Gu Qingzhang and Fang Zhong knew very well in their hearts, but they also made the whole case more confusing.

Could it be that Qingxiao still involves rebellion?

No

Gu Qingzhang quickly denied this idea in his heart, one is that it is impossible for Qingxiao to rebel; The second is that he still remembers the most important thing in Qingxiao's hand - the account book.

I'm afraid this sentence has something to do with where the ledger is.

Gu Qingzhang patiently lay on the beam of the room, watching Fang Zhong lead people to search for an hour, not even letting go of the corner of the room, and still no gains, before he left gloomily with people.

Soon after he left, Gu Qingzhang came down from the beam, and he didn't stay any longer, but left directly from Xiaoyue Tower.

And just as he left Xiaoyue Tower with his front feet, Fang Chong, who was eating in the building, seemed to think of something, and asked his entourage to turn back to the room for the early night to see if there was anything on the beam.

It's a pity that he can only get nothing in the end.

*

Seeing that it was not too early, Gu Qingzhang simply followed the flow of people and went directly out of the city gate, and left straight after finding the horse outside the city.

By the time he rode back to the hillside, it was already evening, and his attendants were carefully lighting a fire and preparing for cooking.

"This time I went to Bozhou," Lin Chonghan saw him with sharp eyes, "Is there anything to gain?" ”

Gu Qingzhang got off the horse, let the horse go to graze by himself, and walked to Lin Chonghan and sat down.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and calmed his breath before saying, "Yes." There was a chess set in the early night, and there was a small piece of silk hidden in it, which read: Princes and generals, rather have a kind. ”

Lin Chonghan was thoughtful when he heard this.

She beckoned Qingle to come over, asked her to sit down together, and said, "When you weren't there, I chatted with Qingle for a while, Qingle, do you remember what you said, what kind of person Qingxiao is?" ”

Qingle nodded: "Remember." Qingxiao is very insecure and has a hard time trusting others, and I only gained her trust because I have been with her for ten years. ”

"She has been sleeping very lightly all these years, and the slightest movement can wake her up. Moreover, she is very cautious and never leaves important things. ”

Gu Qingzhang chewed on the last sentence "Important things never leave him", and looked at Lin Chonghan, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Lin Chonghan asked him: "What is generally drawn on the chess board?" ”

Gu Qingzhang replied: "Chu River Han Boundary." ”

"The Chu River and Han Realm on chess remind us that it is the Han Dynasty," Lin Chonghan said, "Those eight words remind us that this matter is related to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang." ”

Her eyes were like torches, she looked at Gu Qingzhang on the side, and asked him, "Do you know the allusions related to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?" ”

Although Gu Qingzhang is a military general, he has also read history books, he quickly figured out the joints, and muttered: "Da Chuxing, Chen Shengwang - Fish belly books!" ”

"This is too unbelievable," he was shocked, and for a while he didn't even notice the peeling off of the human skin mask on his face, "Could it be that the ledger is in Qingxiao's belly?" ”

Lin Shijing, who was holding a bowl of hot fish soup and drinking, also heard their conversation, raised his head when he heard the words, and said, "If the ledger is paper, it will definitely not work." But since the half of Qingle is silk, so must the Qingxiao one. ”

"Silk will not be corroded in the human body," the steaming fish soup was thick, and Lin Shijing's eyes were sharp, "Qingxiao must have known that his appearance was revealed, so he hurriedly swallowed his half of the silk." ”

"I just don't know where Qingxiao's body is."

Gu Qingzhang neatly took off the human skin mask, he turned his head to look in the direction of the suburbs of Bozhou, and said, "I know." ”
