Chapter 213: Digging Something

Zhou Xiaolin said, "It was written in the letter that Uncle Liu had already mastered the evidence of King Lin's rebellion, but I didn't expect that not long after, the news came that Uncle Liu's family was all burned to death, and he didn't say where the evidence was!" ”

"This is exactly the purpose of my here, hoping to find out about Uncle Liu's death and find that evidence."

Li Huaiyun asked, "What kind of evidence is it?" ”

Zhou Xiaolin pondered for a moment, "Well, I don't know very well, it seems that what kind of astrological pattern it is, the time and place when the second uncle is preparing to ascend the throne are related to this astrological sign!" ”

"Ahh Astrology, to make it so cumbersome? ”

Zhou Xiaolin glanced at Li Huaiyun disdainfully, "What do you know?" If the second uncle directly forces the emperor to abdicate, and then ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, it must be against the principles of heaven and the name is not justified,"

"However, if you can come according to the astrological signs, what Ziwei Emperor Star was born, the foundation of the Great Zhou is unstable, and the emperor is mediocre, these can convince people that his ascension to the throne is in accordance with the way of heaven, and there will be a lot less opposition at that time."

Li Huaiyun suddenly realized, clapped his hands vigorously, it is true, using the Heavenly Supervisor in the imperial court to exaggerate the visions that happened when he ascended the throne, and then used the ignorance of the people to explain these visions, so that those people can believe that his ascension to the throne is in accordance with the way of heaven.

This king is far-sighted! Maybe you've been preparing there for a long time.

He looked at Zhou Xiaolin, "So, if we want to find that astrological chart, we can understand from it, and your second uncle's plan to ascend the throne can also be deployed to expose his conspiracy." ”

"Yes! You're finally getting smarter. ”

Li Huaiyun respectfully said, "It's still not as good as the county lord, I hope the county lord will be promoted more in the future." ”

"Your humble attitude is very good, and you can teach it."

This county lord is too self-righteous! Li Huaiyun looked at the ruins around him, "Then let's go and find it!" Depending on the situation, this thing should be hidden in the bedroom or study! ”

Zhou Xiaolin said, "It is also possible that it was burned, after all, such a big fire, except for the iron tools, even the corpses were almost burned, not to mention the paper." ”

"Don't give up hope, this Uncle Liu of yours should be a thoughtful person, he should know that this evidence will definitely be remembered, maybe hidden somewhere else, or something to protect!"

Li Huaiyun continued to dig the soil and stones on the ruins, and it was quite easy for him to dig these ruins, it was like a humanoid excavator.

Zhou Xiaolin was not very happy to dig up those soil and stones, firstly, because she felt that her status was noble, how could she be reduced to digging earth and stones, and secondly, it was the same as what Li Huaiyun said, because Uncle Liu was calm, calm, and could not move like a mountain in the face of danger, so she believed that this evidence was placed in a hidden place and would not be easily found, and maybe it was for this reason that the mastermind behind the scenes chose to use fire to burn down all this place.

She walked around the ruins several times, just to see if there were any suspicious places nearby where she could store them.

However, to her disappointment, she searched the vicinity for a long time and found nothing.

Li Huaiyun was there, digging with his hands for a long time, and saw Zhou Xiaolin walking around leisurely, thinking that this woman was really lazy, so she would just wander around and look at the scenery, and she didn't know how to help at all.

"Hey! County Lord, if you continue like this, you will soon be out of this house. ”

Zhou Xiaolin's head was high, "What's wrong?" Do you want the lord of the county to dig up this ruin with you? ”

"That's not necessary, you can't do this physical work, I just want you to let the county lord think about it, will this Uncle Liu of yours hide the astrological chart in other hidden places."

"You've known him for so long, don't you know where that thing will be?"

"You know how long it's been since I've seen Uncle Liu!"

"Then he didn't write it in the letter, where is the astrological chart?"

Zhou Xiaolin fell into deep thought, the content of the letter, she just scanned it simply, roughly, and there was not much content about the evidence in it.

She reluctantly said, "No, I just said that the astrological chart has endless changes and is kept by people." ”

"What does this mean? Who keeps it? ”

She shook her head.

Li Huaiyun had no choice but to continue to wear his fists, and then kept moving out the soil and stones of the ruins, looking for the remnants from those burnt things, he found a lot of calligraphy and paintings, jade, and a few weapons, but due to the fire, they were almost burned.

He finally found the dead tree-like jade carving under a rock, and others, and burned only a third of the drawings that remained.

The drawing is blackened and very unclear, but you can still see the lines drawn on it, boxy, and there are a few places that faintly mark this sigil, judging from the density of the lines, this picture should be depicted quite finely, and some markings have been made, giving people the feeling that it is a bit like a map of marching.

Li Huaiyun thought of King Lin's possible intention to rebel, and felt that this speculation was very likely.

He rolled up the rune paper, and since the drawings had been burned, he was also quite careful to wrap them in something else.

He was going to take it to Liu Pingzhong of the Iron Painting Pavilion and let him see what was drawn on the drawing.

The two of them searched the ruins for a long time, and after digging up the almost, all of them, they found that there was nothing left to dig up, and they planned to leave here.

At this time, it was noon, and the other two houses had also been searched, and they now had to deal with the things at hand first.

Then, when night comes, sneak into those houses, deal with the ghosts hiding in the houses, and even more so, catch them all.

Li Huaiyun's expression was solemn, and he thought to himself, what is painted in that painting? He ruled out the speculation that it was a landscape and a portrait of a person, after all, there were sigils on it.

He scratched his head and shouted at the county lord, "Let's go! Let's go get something to eat, and then go back to the Demon Slayer, we still have some things in our hands that need special handling and answers. ”

Zhou Xiaolin walked up and kicked the dirt and rocks on the road, "Didn't you find anything useful?" ”

"It's not like nothing!" Li Huaiyun raised his hand and held the lifelike jade carving, "This thing can show that there is still some progress." ”

"What is this?"

"Dead wood jade carving! It can block the aura of monsters or ghosts in the vicinity! ”

Zhou Xiaolin asked with some surprise, "What does this mean?" Does it mean that there is a demon in Uncle Liu's house? ”

"That's not it, the monster with this jade carving in everything has something to do with the black-robed man, and behind the black-robed man, there should be the figure of King Lin."

"You shouldn't be suspicious of Uncle Liu, he is also the one who is in the king."

"No, if it were, how could I write to inform King Lin that he had rebelled, and he already had the evidence!"

"In that case, how do you explain this jade carving!"

Li Huaiyun was silent for a long time, and then said, "It was given to him by someone, as an ornament, it's good!" It is also possible...! ”

Seeing that Li Huaiyun was suspicious of Uncle Liu, Zhou Xiaolin immediately said, "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

"Generally speaking, these ghosts and monsters can hurt the heavens and reason, and if they are not discovered by the demon hunters, they must have their purpose, but we know too little, so we don't know anything about it."

Li Huaiyun thought back in his mind, starting from the corpse in the water prison to the current ruins, this kind of jade carving has always existed, will it represent some kind of symbol.

He suddenly remembered something, picked up the few burnt drawings, and made a guess based on the remaining patterns in it.

Zhou Xiaolin saw him stop and go, took out the drawing again, and asked, "Are you like this?" What did you find? ”

"Yes!" Li Huaiyun grabbed the drawing with both hands, "Don't you think this looks like a sub-map," he pointed to a few relatively obvious places.

Zhou Xiaolin's gaze fell on the drawing, but she had that feeling, "It's a bit like!" What did Uncle Liu use this map for? ”

"Since Uncle Liu was sent to Kyoto to secretly investigate King Lin's troops, then this map must be used for surveillance."

He walked towards the wall, gently kicked the ground, flew to the table, then put away the drawings, looked at the house carefully, and suddenly found that the house was in one of the sigils on the drawings.

Could it be that these are three houses, all of which are in the sigils, what does that mean?

He stood on the fence and thought quietly, the clues seemed to be many, but they were too messy, and they lacked a main axis, if they could know what they were doing it for, whether it was for the throne or something else, then they could slowly connect everything together.

Zhou Xiaolin patted him on the shoulder, "I said, did you deliberately test me?" Why did you suddenly come here? ”

"Of course not, I've found clues that have always been more important."

"What clues?"

"The three places selected for the fire, if they are marked on the map, then a triangle will be formed, maybe, their plan is not finished, the next arson location!"

Zhou Xiaolin immediately responded, "It's in the center of the three-legged stand. ”

"Clever!"

"That's, I don't want to think about it, what kind of identity I am, the chief catcher of Jianghang!"

Li Huaiyun immediately applauded, "The county lord is talented and intelligent, and he is incompetent. He strictly followed Qin Gang's instructions and did not have a conflict with this county lord.

"You're a sycophant, it's embarrassing for me!"

"What? Embarrassed? What's going on, county lord, my admiration for you is like a surging river...! ”

The two of them were on the wall like this, chatting awkwardly with each other, and the two of them had a very tacit understanding, and they didn't have the feeling of tension when they first met.

At noon, Li Huaiyun wanted to take the county lord to eat a little roadside stall, but he was ruthlessly despised by the other party, so he could only choose a rather luxurious restaurant in Kyoto and get a small private room.

It's not that Li Huaiyun didn't have silver taels to consume again, but he felt that it was more cost-effective outside, and the time was relatively fast, so he could return to the Demon Slayer Division as soon as possible and send someone to search carefully.

However, since the other party is unwilling, he can't help it, after all, letting the county lord eat at a roadside stall is simply an insult to the other party's identity.

After changing to this luxury restaurant, the dishes are quite good, but the food is served slowly, and few people talk to others about other things again.

Zhou Xiaolin took the chopsticks and looked at the steaming meal on the table, and suddenly felt excited, she had never eaten outside before.

is also because of her attitude, which makes people feel quite contrasting.
