Tong Guanhu's body was shocked, the five-color relics of the monk Zhongshu were actually the monk's own, the monk Zhongshu's surname was Zhang, his name was waved, the word Shili, he was a jinshi at a young age, but he was arrogant, and he couldn't listen to people say that he was not, his wife couldn't bear it, so he put poison in his porridge, and the monk Zhongshu was fed honey by the neighbors to detoxify, so he picked up a life, so he abandoned his family and became a monk. But he became a monk, wore monk's clothes, lost his hair, and still did not eat fasting and worship Buddha and meditate every day like other monks.

Zhongshu monk has lived in Suzhou Chengtian Temple, Hangzhou Baoyue Temple, because often eat honey to detoxify, known as honey, and Su Shi has a very thick exchange, Chongning years hanged himself to death, after cremation to get more than 20 five-color relics. Originally, this was an anecdote about Buddhism, but after a few years, when the wife of Monk Zhongshu died, it was found that she was a member of the Poison Dragon Sect, and that neighbor was the ghost doctor Ye Lingtian, so the poisoning incident became a matter on the rivers and lakes, and the suicide of Monk Zhongshu became a mystery.

Tong Guan got the news that the monk Zhongshu took a painting from Zhang's mourning hall in Huzhou, and committed suicide after returning to Hangzhou, no one had ever seen the painting, and there was no painting in the relics of the monk Zhongshu; according to Zhang's nephew Zhangkuo, the painting did not know who sent it in, and when it appeared, it was in Zhang's mourning hall, and the children of the Zhang family had not yet opened it to see, and the monk Zhongshu had stepped forward to take the painting.

Zhang Zong, the second son of Zhang Qi, stepped forward to stop him, and the monk Zhongshu took out half of the inkstone and put it on Zhang Dan's coffin, and Zhang Qing, the cousin of Zhang Dan, took out half of the inkstone and made it into a whole; Zhang Qing immediately stopped everyone, and let the monk Zhongshu drift away, Zhang Qing said the origin of half of the inkstone, which was a promise of Zhang Dian back then, and the holder could ask for a thing of the Zhang family at will.

Zhang Dian was already in exile when he died, that is, there were not a few people from the Zhang family, Zhang Qing was already the highest senior, and there were even fewer people outside the Zhang family, there were only more than 20 people before and after, and to everyone's surprise, Zhang Qing also died half a month later, taking all the secrets away at once. Tong Guan asked Guo Zhongxun: "Have you found that inkstone?"

"Back to the captain, I found it. Guo Zhongxun whispered: "Zhang Kuo is an acquaintance, and he talked to Zhang Dian's grandson Zhang Dian a few times, and bought the inkstone for one hundred taels of silver." ”

One hundred taels of silver in Tong Guan's eyes is less than a penny of other people's families, Tong Guan's mouth showed a smile, when did the Zhang family become so unbearable, knowing that this inkstone was hiding secrets, they still gave it up so easily; Tong Guan asked, "Do you see anything?"

Guo Zhongxun shook his head and said: "The last general is incompetent, only seeing the Taohe inkstone, from the workmanship should not be the hand of a famous artist, but the allusion is unknown." ”

Song Shenzong Xining four years, Qin Feng Lu slightly made Wang Zhao recover Helong, build the ancient Wei Fort for the Tongyuan army, according to the will of Song Shenzong, choose the local specialty Tao Yan as the palace tribute, and give it to the major writers, immediately by Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Lu You, Zhang Lei, the general scribes appreciated, much favored. Su Shi wrote lyrics to praise Taohe Shiyan for "washing and making gold and iron." Pondering and Hong, strong and dense", Tao Yan is worth a lot, and it is extremely precious in the market.

Tong Guan patted the table and said: "Then find Lu Zai, the five-color relics are in his hands, he should know a little bit, this official does not bully others, you let Lu Zai open a price casually." ”

Guo Zhongxun is an insider, and he knows that Tong Guan's words are not a backword, it is purely a matter of ambition, let Lu Zai say the number casually, when Liu Yanqing was defeated in Xiongzhou, what was burned in the military camp was the grain and grass materials that Tong Guan and Cai You forcibly requisitioned in Hebei, and the original materials accumulated by the imperial court for decades were not burned much, and about six or seven percent were left in Xiongzhou and other places, all of which were divided by Tong Guan, Cai You and others, so Tong Taiwei was not short of money.

Guo Zhongxun smiled and said, "Lu Zai just bought a new house in Bianliang, so I will go to congratulate him." ”

How dare Lu Zai offend the now prosperous Captain Tong, hesitated for a long time, but still agreed to give up the five-colored relics; Guo Zhongxun asked the price for a long time, Lu Zai didn't dare to say, and in the end it was Guo Zhongxun who decided to give up two thousand taels of silver. As for the secret of the five-color relics and the Zhongshu monk, Lu Zai only said that he could know part of the five-color relics, and the five-color relics were sent to Su Shi's family by the monks of Baoyue Temple according to the wishes of the Zhongshu monks, and Su Guo did not dare to accept them, so he transferred them to his father Lu Dian.

Guo Zhongxun was skeptical, but when he saw the box containing the five-color relics, Guo Zhongxun knew that Lu Zai was not lying; the box was made of mahogany, which looked simple and elegant, and was carved with the pattern of the three friends of the year, but it was different from the general painting style of the three friends of the year, a bit like the scenery outside the plug, plum blossoms, pine trees, and bamboos all seemed scattered. Guo Zhongxun recognized it at a glance that it was the wind and snow box rumored in the rivers and lakes, and it was said that it originally contained a map of Western Xia, and it should have been Zhang Dian who gave this box to Monk Zhongshu.

Monk Zhongshu thought of this clue, so he instructed the monk to use a box to hold relics after his death and send them to the eunuch's house; sure enough, he was well-intentioned, but Guo Zhongxun couldn't understand whether a map of Western Xia was worth tossing like this? Guo Zhongxun brought things back to Tong Guan to see, Tong Guan didn't look at the relics, just looked at the mahogany box, and after a long time he took a long breath and said, "It seems that the rumors are true." ”

Guo Zhongxun and the others were confused, could it be that Taiwei Tong wanted the map of Western Xia to destroy Western Xia again?

Tong Guan put down the box and said, "There is a rumor in the Western Army that Wang Hou's subordinates have discovered a silver mine in Western Xia, but that's it

In the interior of the Western Xia, so the people who went to investigate died, and the reinforcements were also wiped out by the Tanguts. Three warriors escaped, wrote down what they had seen along the way, drew a map to the silver mines, and put them in the snow box; strange to say, the Tangut people searched for more than ten years, but did not find silver mines, so they had to send a large number of masters into the Central Plains to compete for the snow box. ”。

Guo Zhongxun is a great general in a hundred battles, and immediately thought of another possibility: "Taiwei, could it be a conspiracy of the Western Xia people, the wealth is moving, using this method to provoke vendetta on the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and can be framed to a certain official and general of the imperial court at the right time." ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "Now that Zhang Dian is involved, that statement is not valid, it is more likely that the map fell into the hands of Zhang Den, and Zhang Dian wanted to hand it over to Monk Zhongshu, or someone known to Monk Zhongshu, but Monk Zhongshu did not dare to cause this trouble and commit suicide, so that the whereabouts of this map were completely lost." However, with the temperament of Monk Zhangshu and Monk Zhongshu, they will never destroy the picture, and what we have to investigate is who Monk Zhongshu came into contact with before Monk Zhangshu died. ”
