Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan and said, "What's the matter?"

Wei Yuan asked: "In the excerpt passed back by the Qingzhou political envoy, is it clear that this poem was written by Yang Gong, the political envoy?"

.... What did he mean by this? The old fritters in the officialdom have a clue.

Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "What's the problem?"

The excerpt does not explicitly say that the poem was written by Yang Gong, and the wording is as follows: Yang Gong ordered the hundred officials of Qingzhou to erect a ring tablet and engrave the inscription to warn the world.

It's a clever wording, neither clear nor deniable. In Emperor Yuan Jing's view, this is a tacit acquiescence.

This poem was not written by Yang Gong, but by someone else. Weichen felt that once this poem was circulated, it would be famous all over the world, and for individuals, it would be an opportunity to become famous. It should not be monopolized by Yang Gong. Wei Yuan said.

"Oh, when did Qingzhou have such a great talent?" Emperor Yuan Jing smiled, became interested, and stared at Wei Yuan: "However, how did you know. ”

It's not Yang Gong's doing, there are others.... Qingzhou does have more talents, and it is a big state for scientific research.... The princes thought in their hearts, and with Emperor Yuan Jing's question, they turned their eyes to Wei Yuan.

They were all wondering how Wei Yuan knew that this poem was not written by Yang Gong.

"It's not from Qingzhou. Wei Yuan shook his head.

Emperor Yuan Jing's questioning tone was "um".

Moreover, Weichen also knew that this poem was not written in Qingzhou, and it came out more than a month ago. It was not made by Qingzhou people. Wei Yuan said again.

At this time, the ministers also followed the puzzled "um", and the one who said "This is the poetry of Dafeng" questioned in the matter:

"Duke Wei, don't sell Guan Zi in front of Your Majesty. ”

The old troll, he wears a hat when he opens his mouth.

It came out a little over a month ago... It's not made by Qingzhou people... The sharp-minded official's heart moved, and he had a guess.

For a moment, the faces of the princes became strange.

Wei Yuan glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing, whose face sank suddenly, and said in a calm tone: "This poem is written by Xu Qi'an, the gong Xu Qi'an, and the original work is still in the yamen. ”

Sure enough, it was him.... The whispered discussion sounded again:

"This son is a great talent, it's a pity not to study. ”

"Hmph, that Xu Pingzhi is a vulgar martial artist, and he is short-sighted. ”

"Xu Qi'an, this son, if he can enter the national prison, how good it would be!"

At this time, even if they don't like Xu Qi'an's court princes, they can't help but sigh, if this kind of poetry is a reader, of course, the premise is that it is a scholar of Guozijian, how good it would be.

No one questioned Wei Yuan for lying, even if it was his political enemies. Wei Yuan can't and doesn't need to lie about this matter, and lose his share in vain.

The one looked embarrassed in the middle of the matter, hung his head and kept a low profile.

Emperor Yuan Jing said "heh": "What do you mean when you talk about this?" ”

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Naturally, it is to help his subordinates become famous." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Although he doesn't like Xu Qi'an, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he will not hold on to a small gong. Besides, there are many people that Emperor Yuan Jing doesn't like, and there are many in the court.

Of course, it is another thing for the little gong to make a mistake or to anger him.

....

Qingyun Mountain, Yunlu Academy.

A cloud goose flew in the sky, flapping its wings and swooping straight to Qingyun Mountain, sweeping through the courtyards, one attic after another, in the exquisite small pavilion on the edge of the cliff, in the observation hall on the second floor, it was easily grasped by one hand.

In the distortion of clear light, the cloud goose turned into a delicately cut paper goose, which is vivid.

Yang Ziqian sent the book back. Li Mubai turned his head with a smile and told the two great Confucians and two stinky chess baskets in the room.

Zhang Shen and Chen Tai were killing heartily, without raising their heads, and asked casually: "What are you writing?"

Li Mubai unfolded the letter and read it with a smile, and after a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then his face gradually became hideous.

"Shameless, shameless!" Li Mubai pulled the letter paper in his hand and roared:

"The old thief Yang Gong is brazen and a scholar in vain. I, Li Mubai, am ashamed of him and ashamed of him. ”

The sudden roar startled Zhang Shen and Chen Tai.

"What's wrong with this? Ziqian's letter can also provoke you so angry?" Zhang Shen shook his head helplessly and sneered:

"Chunjing, you just have a worse temperament, you are irritable and irritable, and you will lose to Wei Yuan back then. Look at Wei Yuan, his chest is calm, and he is as immobile as a mountain. ”

The great Confucian Chen Tai shook his head: "Chunjing's personality is indeed a little impatient, write to me to see." ”

Li Mubai had already gotten rid of his anger, his heart was filled with the color of lemons, he snorted angrily, and threw the letter paper onto the chessboard.

Zhang Shen stretched out his hand to pick it up and read it intently, Yang Gong Yang Ziqian said in the letter that he met with the governor's team in Qingzhou and met Xu Qi'an.

Yang Gong praised Xu Qi'an a lot, calling him the first poet in Dafeng in five hundred years, boasting and boasting, Zhang Shen felt that something was wrong, and he looked a little showing off and eating people's soft mouths.

Further down is a poem:

Er eats Erlu, the people fat and the people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully - Xu Qi'an (Shi Yang Gong)

The letter also said that it was taken from the inscription.

Thundered.... The cliff wall shook violently, the gravel rolled, the attic shook with clear air, and the roars of Zhang Shen and Chen Tai resounded throughout the entire Yunlu Academy.

"Yang Gong's old thief is not worthy of being a teacher, and the old man suggested that this thief be kicked out of Yunlu Academy. ”

"A send-off poem is enough, and this one belongs to him?

"I'm, I'm, he still writes letters to show off..."

....

After eating a Yunzhou-style lunch at the post station, Xu Qi'an took a cold shower and was in good spirits.

Returning to the room in a white undershirt, he opened the lid of the pot, and the curling green smoke floated, transforming into a beauty who captivated the country and the city, puffing out her cheeks:

"Stinky man!"

Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "I wanted to let you go, but now I have changed my mind." ”

Su Su immediately changed his attitude, and was coquettish: "Master~"

Xu Qi'an squinted and examined her.

"Master, what are you looking at? Su Su blinked his eyes and made a seductive gesture that Ren Jun picked.

"I'm wondering how Ning Caichen operates. Xu Qi'an was blunt.

"Who is Ning Caichen?"

"It's a scholar, and he's also in love with a charm. ”

"That charm must be hungry for his spirit. Su Su said angrily.

"Why?"

"Because I'm a charmer, I'm very hungry for a man's spirit. ”

"How are you greedy?" Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Honestly, I want to consider whether to let you go or not according to the severity of your sins." ”

"Suck with your mouth. Su Su was innocent of the girl, "People are sucking heinous mountain bandits, and they don't kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

"Where? Well, I'm just curious about the charm's means. ”

"Tips. ”

"Which head?" Xu Qi'an's eyes shot a sharp light.

Su Su looked a little confused, but he still replied with a fifteen-ten, and his slender fingers poked at his eyebrows: "Here." ”

The light in Xu Qi'an's eyes was extinguished immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "I've thought about it, you have done a lot of evil, I can't let you go easily, go back." ”

Bang!

Cover the flask.

"Waste of time..."Xu Qi'an muttered and got up, left the room, and knocked on Song Tingfeng's door.

"What's the matter?" Song Tingfeng originally planned to sleep and nourish his spirits, but his pants were taken off, but Xu Qi'an came to knock on the door.

"The governor is not here, but we can't relax, I plan to try to solve the code left by Zhou Min, you and Guangxiao are both experienced watchmen, your opinions, I believe can play a role in my reasoning. ”

When Song Tingfeng heard Detective Xu Ningyan say this, he was honored and ashamed, after all, there are organized watchmen, and the most they do is violent output, not reasoning.

"Ning Yan, I'm in solving the case... Not really. ”

"Have you ever heard of a sentence?" Xu Qi'an said solemnly.

Song Tingfeng shook his head.

Xu Qi'an said: "Some casual words have solved my doubts, and an inexplicable impulse has made me continue to pursue." I pay close attention to your every move. ”

Song Tingfeng said vigilantly: "Why are you paying attention to my every move? What do you want to do?" ”

"No, it's a good idea...."

Xu Qi'an diverted the topic: "By the way, what do you think about Miss Susu's affairs." ”

As he spoke, he stared at Song Tingfeng fiercely, expecting to see his shameful appearance of hiding his face and running away.

As soon as Song Tingfeng heard Miss Su Su, his heart hurt very much, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can't find her in this life, it will be a regret for Song Mou's life." ”

She's right in my room.... This product hasn't reacted yet? This is unreasonable, as long as it is paired with Zhu Guangxiao, Su Su's operation will be exposed... They're all hiding from each other? Why?

Is it because I am more trustworthy? Xu Qi'an was suddenly a little moved.

"By the way, Su Su's matter, Ning Yan, don't tell others, including Guangxiao. Song Tingfeng admonished.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-mouthed. Xu Qi'an showed a bright smile and said, "By the way, is it because I am more trustworthy than Guangxiao?"

"No, why do you have such an illusion?" Song Tingfeng looked at him strangely: "Because you have no bottom line in the affairs of men and women, you are not afraid of being known." It won't be worse than you anyway. ”

“... Everyone went to the teaching workshop together, why do I have no bottom line, just because I sleep on floating incense, and you sleep on an average appearance?" Xu Qi'an was not convinced, and said in his heart that I neither smelt copper nor love my mother, why do I have no bottom line.

"Every time I talk to other colleagues about you sleeping incense every night and not paying the money, everyone scolds together: special mother, rotten person!"

“....”

The two knocked on Zhu Guangxiao's door together, and Song Tingfeng frowned and said, "What's the matter with you, Fu'er, I felt something was wrong just now." ”

Zhu Guangxiao opened his mouth, wanting to say goodbye, and finally looked at Xu Qi'an.

What do you think I'm doing, do you think I'm a rotten person? Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes angrily.

The three of them came to the room where Zhou Min's relics were stored, and after carefully examining them for a long time, Song Tingfeng was deflated: "We have looked at these things countless times. ”

Zhu Guangxiao looked at Xu Qi'an: "Ning Yan thinks that there are clues related to the code in the relics?"

"Remember when I cracked the anagram and found the idea of the code?" Xu Qi'an paced beside the relic and carefully imparted knowledge:

"Empathy is an indispensable part of reasoning, Zhou Min's case, unlike the Sangbo case, Sangbo at least has traces to follow, and it is enough to follow the vine.

But there are no other clues in this case, and the only clue is to crack the code left by Zhou Min. ”

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao nodded slightly, thoughtful.

has the experience of the Sangbo case, and they have some experience in solving the case, but they are still in the stage of drawing a scoop according to the gourd, and if there is a case similar to the Sangbo case, the two can imitate Xu Qi'an's approach and try to solve the case.

But once the entry point of the case changes, they are at a loss.

Resting in martial arts, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are still in the stage of practicing swordsmanship, while Xu Qi'an has no tricks to win, no sword in his hand and a sword in his heart.

"Don't just nod your head, tell me what you think. ”

Song Tingfeng was not so sure: "The secret number was left so that we could crack it, so the clues are actually very conspicuous and easy to find, it depends on whether we can find them?"

"Very good, blind monk, you have discovered Huadian. Xu Qi'an teased.

Then, he unfolded the note, looked at the two sets of ciphers, and said, "These are two sets of numbers, and the numbers are in the form of ciphers, which must correspond to a certain codebook, and if we find the codebook, we can solve the puzzle." ”

Because a simple string or strings of numbers is meaningless, the meaning is not in the number itself, but in the information that the number refers to.

There must be a codebook in it.

"Except for the word "Mo", the others are all numbers, and the clues will definitely not be reused in the Kanyu map, so where is there a large number of numbers?" Zhu Guangxiao wondered.

"There are so many clues that there are numbers, don't you have numbers in the book? Song Tingfeng said.

"Good, very good guess. Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up: "Let's assume that these two sets of codes exist in a certain book, and follow our previous train of thought, what book is the easiest for us to get?"

Song Tingfeng felt that his suggestion had been adopted, and analyzed it with high morale: "The Three Character Classic, the Great Feng Huidian, and the Yunzhou Chronicle?"

These are books that can be found casually in Yunzhou, the three-character scripture belongs to the enlightenment reading, and each state and yamen of the Dafeng Huidian has a copy, and the Yunzhou Chronicles are the "history books" of Yunzhou, which are also very common in the yamen, and the post stations have them.

The three of them asked the postman to find the books first, but they didn't look through them immediately, because there was another problem in front of them.

Zhu Guangxiao asked: "So what does the number of words mean, and how to find it?"

"When a man loses a lot of protein, his brain is not working well for a short time. Xu Qi'an looked at him and said seriously: "At this time, you need to rest, or make up for it." ”

"What do you mean?"

I mean, the number of words either represents the number of pages, or it alludes to the first few words. This is the simplest reasoning. Xu Qi'an replied.

Song Tingfeng opened the three-character scripture, "It's definitely not the number of pages, because the three-character scripture is only so thick." ”

As he spoke, he flipped through the three-character scripture: "The one hundred and sixty-second word is "righteousness", and the three hundred and forty-seventh word is "love."

Other codes have also been interpreted, and the two sets of codes given by Zhou Min are connected: Silent people...

"Well, that's wrong. ”

While Song Tingfeng's interpretation failed, Xu Qi'an and Zhu Guangxiao were also interpreting the other two.

Zhu Guangxiao said: "Mohua Deepwater East Middle School.... Well, that's wrong too. ”

The two looked at Xu Qi'an together, and he said depressedly: "Mo is floating in vain." ”
