Chapter 100: Cheats
In the majestic and quiet Seventy-Eight River Mansion, everyone is busy in full swing.
Not long ago, some people paid tribute to the Duke of Jin a book called "Jun Wang Ce", which talks about the strategy of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, and the Duke of Jin liked it very much, and originally wanted to call the people who wrote the book to the palace to reward him, but who knew that the person who paid tribute to the book was not the person who wrote the book.
And the next day, the "Jun Wang Ce" that Jin Gong put on the bed was actually stolen. The Duke of Jin was furious and personally issued an edict ordering the 78 River Gate to arrest the thieves within three days.
In the middle of the night, Mr. Zhang, the chief catcher, got up from his chair and walked leisurely to the study in his backyard.
As soon as he entered the study, Mr. Zhang's expression became nervous, and he carefully opened the small secret door of the bookcase at the top and found a scroll.
"Hey. He sighed heavily, as if holding a red-hot coal. The scroll unfolded, revealing its name, and it was the "King's Policy"!
Mr. Zhang couldn't argue, and he didn't know why when he woke up, the book was actually next to his pillow, and he was so shocked that he fell directly from the bed.
"My lord, someone is looking for you. ”
A subordinate outside the door reported that Mr. Zhang had to hide the book back in the secret compartment.
"Didn't you say that you haven't seen anyone these days?" Mr. Zhang reprimanded, he didn't want anyone to cause trouble at this time.
"But... The man came with a letter of recommendation and said that he could solve the theft of the inner court. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his brows furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he decided to go out and take a look first.
Outside the red-lacquered gate of the Seventy-Eight River Mansions, stood a young man with an outstanding demeanor, holding a sword in his hand and wearing a clean white robe.
Seeing that it was a child, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, and he didn't even bother to arch his hand, but simply asked: "I don't know the little brother's honorable name? Who recommended him? What is his opinion on this case? How can it be solved?"
The young man clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "The next surname is Jiang Shuangming, Jiu Ling, a native of Yandi Lulong, who was recommended by the Imperial Doctor to help the adults solve the case." ”
Mr. Zhang looked at the respectful Jiang Jiuling in front of him, squinted his eyes, and hesitated for a moment: "Hand over the famous disk." “
Jiang Jiuling in front of him nodded, took out a book from his sleeve, presented it to the head catcher who accompanied Mr. Zhang, and handed it to Mr. Zhang through him.
After confirming that the seal was correct, Mr. Zhang could only nod and said to Jiang Jiuling in front of him.
"Come with me to the study. ”
The two came to the study together, and before Mr. Zhang could speak, Jiang Jiuling took the lead and said, "Seeing that the adults are walking lightly, I guess the light skill of crossing the river with a reed has been practiced to the extreme, right?"
"Shaoxia has good eyesight, but he is busy with official business today, please have something to say, don't waste everyone's time. "Mr. Zhang didn't want to say anything else that didn't matter.
"No problem, but before that, please ask Mr. Zhang to tell me about the stolen goods you seized in the thief case. Jiang Jiuling was not restrained at all, jumped up and sat on the desk, looking deaf. "This is extremely important. ”
Four years ago, Mr. Zhang solved a major theft case and seized countless treasures. But the thief said that he was just stealing for fun, and he didn't bother to remember which thing belonged to whom, so the matter of returning the thing to its original owner naturally fell on Mr. Zhang's head.
While counting the stolen goods, Mr. Zhang found a cheatbook with three big characters written on its yellowed cover - half gong. This is a long-lost martial arts cheat book in the rivers and lakes. "Everything in the world is divided into two parts, and half of this skill is done after practice", that is to say, no matter what you do, you only need to do half of it, and the remaining half will be completed automatically.
So Mr. Zhang was born in a family of gods, and he dealt with people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes all day long, so he was naturally interested in all kinds of martial arts.
It's just that Mr. Zhang has never told anyone else this secret, so he doesn't know if Jiang Jiuling is referring to this matter.
"What is the connection between that case and the case of the loss of the inner court, please also ask Shaoxia to make it clear. Mr. Zhang said with some puzzlement.
"Years ago, the thief you captured stole a book of martial arts secrets. Jiang Jiuling asked, "And there is no secret book on the list of stolen goods at the Seventy-Eight River Mansion Gate." ”
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, there are not many people who have the right to check the list of the 78 river gates, and he can't afford to offend any of these people.
"How do I know this?" Mr. Zhang frowned, and replied, "Now what we want to solve is the theft of the inner court. ”
"Haha, how about a good one. Jiang Jiuling smiled: "Mr. Zhang broke into the inner court the night before and stole the "King's Strategy" next to the pillow of Duke Jin, do you know?"
"Blood spews people!" Mr. Zhang gasped and roared.
Jiang Jiuling snorted coldly, and suddenly turned his palm into a claw, and grabbed Mr. Zhang with lightning speed.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang didn't care about the dirty water, so he hurriedly shrank back and dodged Jiang Jiuling's fierce claw.
"What are you doing here?" yelled Mr. Zhang.
"Master Zhang, I have no malicious intent," Jiang Jiuling explained with a smile, "This time I came just for 'Half Gong'. ”
