"Chief Jin, those people are still looking for you." These scholars didn't seem to be very happy, and Jin Daochang turned around: "You tell them to come down." ”

"Good!" Yue Guanchao and the others got down the city wall and came to the Guanshui Pavilion, Yue Qingshan didn't talk nonsense, took out the jade plate and handed it to the old man Jin: "Dao Chief, this is the token that Luo Shi Niang asked me to hand over to you." Jin Daochang took the jade pendant, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "In the end, it has come to this point, you can come with me." After speaking, Jin Daochang led them up the stairs and came to the top floor of Yueyang Tower, which was an attic similar to a tea room, probably Jin Daochang's tea room.

The old Taoist priest took out the key to remove the square table, took off the blanket and then opened the floor, it can be seen that there is a copper box with the opening facing up, about the size of half a pillow, he took out the box and placed it on the table, opened the box with the key, lifted the lid, and it was full of various handwritten books.

Yue Qingshan picked up one of the handwritten letters, which recorded what year, month, and day, Huasheng Commercial Bank asked her to assassinate so-and-so, or solve something, hundreds of handwritten letters overlapped, constituting countless mutilated lives.

"Chief Jin, we actually have a business here." After Song Siyuan finished speaking, she took out the photos they had just washed, and Jin Daochang picked up the photos and browsed them for a while, and she took advantage of the old Taoist priest to browse the photos and carefully inform them of the beginning and end of their search for the Xuanshu.

After speaking, the old Taoist priest observed the photo, his eyes were slightly different, and he took out a string of copper coins from his waist and put them on the table, these copper coins were about four or five, and he picked up a red rope and wore it, each with a different shape, probably a variegated hundred family coins.

Song Siyuan picked up the copper coin and looked carefully at the details of the copper coin, one of the copper coins aroused her curiosity, the copper coin was probably a normal copper coin style, a round square hole, and the word Yantang was written on the top and bottom of the hole, in addition, the runes all over the square hole were very special, neither Chinese nor Manchu.

The rune's sprite is in the shape of a long diamond, similar to

The posture of the word "many" is deformed, the upper right is high, the lower left is low, the stroke is oblique, the strokes are slender, the overall beauty is timeless and delicate, at first glance it looks like the form of a bird, constantly stretching its wings, many strokes are familiar with Chinese characters, but they are not very recognized.

She picked up the copper coin and carefully compared the photos, and she could really see that the same vein and similar glyphs were similar, which also meant that the old Taoist priest had seen these runes.

"What is this?" The old Taoist priest poured a cup of tea and said slowly: "The money you are holding in your hand is called Taiping Nu Qian, also called Diao Mu Qian, the back of the money is cast with the words of the world's women and sisters' families in Nüshu characters, which is the money minted in the area when the Taiping army occupied Jiangyong County. ”

"Nüshu? The Taipings? Since Song Siyuan entered Xiangdi, she has frequently heard them mention the Taiping Army, and even this copper coin and Nüshu are related to the Taiping Army, her curiosity about these things transcends everything, and she urges and asks: "Since the Taoist knows that the runes are called Nüshu, can you tell us what these mean?" ”

"This copper coin of mine was given to me by an old friend in the past, and it was the first kind person I met when I went down the mountain to practice." When Jin Daochang was young, he encountered the Taiping army crossing the border, and when his family was ruined, he took a dagger up the mountain for the sake of fighting for his breath, and after ten years, he finally learned a martial art and took his master with him

"Don't kill" entrustment, go down the mountain to do chivalrous righteousness. At that time, the Taiping army had already set the capital of Jinling, and after Xiangsheng was crossed by the Taiping army, it left a mess, especially in Jiangyong County.

Located at the junction of Hunan Province and Guangxi, it was the main occupation of the Taiping Army in the early stage, and they issued copper coins here, rectified the people's customs, and killed bureaucrats in order to stabilize the situation.

In order to attract the hearts of the women, they used the words used by local women to communicate on the copper coins minted in Jiangyong County, Nüshu, and since then, women have used Nüshu as a medium to use their own advantages to help the Taiping Army obtain information many times, and at the same time, they have also spread the reputation of the Taiping Women's Army to the world.

After the Taiping army crossed the border, Jiangyong County immediately became the focus of the Hunan Provincial Government's attention, firstly, because Nüshu was still used by the Taiping army to transmit secrets, and secondly, the people here had been bewitched by the Taiping army, even if the Taiping army left, they still did not follow the imperial court, and thirdly, the Taiping army, which was lucky not to leave, had become bandits in the southwest, and they must be exterminated in order to eliminate the chaotic people.

The Hunan Provincial Regiment Training New Army and the Trial Bureau were eager to stay here in Jiangyong County, killing many people, and at the same time, in order to make the woman completely hand over the secret of the Nüshu, many unjust, false and wrongful cases were also created in Jiangyong County.

Nüshu is not only used by women to communicate with each other, but also a tool for women to communicate with the outside world, how can they not explain clearly to the government, this kind of situation, of course, the government does not want to see, in addition to creating unjust, false and wrongful cases, but also use the edict as a bait to lure some women to teach them to know the runes of Nüshu.

It's just that the government overestimated the role of money and interests, and the women of Jiangyong County not only were not moved, but used the Nüshu to provide them with a lot of false news, which made the government extremely headache.

These women are all mothers, wives, children, concubines, and sisters of Jiangyong County, which not only provoked a civil uprising, but also made the local people more fiercely opposed to the imperial court, causing several civil unrest, and the government ended in a fiasco, until the Taiping army failed, Jiangyong County was stabilized.

When Jin Shouxuan went, it happened to be a few years before the defeat of the Taiping Army, and the government was powerful here, and he killed a lot of evil officials for this purpose, and when he was wanted by the government, he hid in the village near the Fengzu River, which escaped.

Here, he met Hu Yuxiang on the bank of the Fengzu River, and it was she who took care of him when he was injured, treated him and fed him, so that he could see his injury.

After Jin Daochang recovered from his injury, Hu Yuxiang gave him a string of copper coins before leaving, and asked him to spend them on the road.

"In the past few decades, I have never been to Jiangyong County again, and this copper coin has been worn by me on my waist, always reminding myself that I have not repaid the kindness of some people." After Jin Daochang finished speaking, Song Siyuan asked, "Jin Daochang, you don't know what these runes represent?" Jin Daochang nodded: "Indeed, these runes are women's books, don't say it's me, it's a man in Jiangyong County, and I haven't seen anyone who knows what it means, only women can understand it, when I left, Hu Yuxiang told me the origin of these copper coins, and I knew that these runes were the meaning of women and sisters in the world, and I didn't know anything else." ”
