Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Bad GuysEmperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan and nodded, "What's the matter?"
Wei Yuan asked, "In the memorial sent back by the Qingzhou Provincial Administration Office, is it clear that this poem was written by Yang Gong, the governor?"
.... What did he mean by this? The old-timers in the officialdom figured out the clue.
Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer, but asked, "What's the problem?"
The memorial did not clearly say that the poem was written by Yang Gong. The wording was
as follows: Yang Gong ordered all officials in Qingzhou to erect a warning stele and engrave an inscription to warn the world.
This is a very clever wording, which is neither clear nor denied. In the eyes of Emperor Yuan Jing, this is a tacit agreement.
"This poem was not written by Yang Gong, but by someone else. I think that once this poem is circulated, it will definitely be famous all over the world. For individuals, it is a rare opportunity to become famous. It should not be monopolized by Yang Gong." Wei Yuan said.
"Oh? When did Qingzhou produce such a great talent?" Emperor Yuan Jing smiled, became interested, and stared at Wei Yuan: "But how do you know?"
It was not written by Yang Gong, but by someone else... Qingzhou does have many talented people, and is a major province for imperial examinations... The ministers thought to themselves, and as Emperor Yuan Jing asked, 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 is not written by a person from Qingzhou either." Wei Yuan shook his head.
Emperor Yuan Jing said "hmm" in a questioning tone.
"Moreover, I know that this poem was not written in Qingzhou, but was published more than a month ago. It was not written by a person from Qingzhou either." Wei Yuan said again.
Now, the ministers also said "hmm" in doubt, and the attendant who said "This is the poetry of Dafeng" questioned:
"Duke Wei, don't keep it a secret in front of Your Majesty."
He is an old troll, and he puts on a hat as soon as he opens his mouth.
It was published more than a month ago... It was not written by a Qingzhou person... The sharp-minded officials had a guess.
For a moment, the faces of the officials became strange.
Wei Yuan glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing, whose face suddenly darkened, and said calmly: "This poem was written by Xu Qi'an, the gong of the night watchman's office. The original is still on display in the office. Ha, if you want to read it, I can borrow it."
It was indeed him... The low-pitched discussion sounded again:
"This boy is so talented, it's a pity that he doesn't study."
"Humph, Xu Pingzhi is just a vulgar warrior with short-sightedness."
"It would be great if Xu Qi'an could enter the Imperial College!"
At this time, even the officials in the court who didn't like Xu Qi'an couldn't help but sigh with regret. It would be great if such a poet was a scholar, of course, provided that he was a scholar in the Imperial College.
No one questioned Wei Yuan's lies, even his political enemies. Wei Yuan couldn't and didn't need to lie about this matter, and lose face for nothing.
The attendant was embarrassed, lowered his head and kept a low profile.
Emperor Yuan Jing said, "What do you mean by talking about this matter?"
Wei Yuan said with a smile, "Of course, it's to help my subordinates gain fame."
Emperor Yuan Jing snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.
Although he didn't like Xu Qi'an, as the emperor, he wouldn't hold on to a small copper gong. Besides, there were many people in the court that Emperor Yuan Jing didn't like.
Of course, if the small copper gong made a mistake or angered him, that would be another
matter.
....
Qingyun Mountain, Yunlu Academy.
A cloud goose flew over the horizon, flapped its wings and flew straight to Qingyun Mountain, passing through courtyards and attics, and was easily caught by a hand in the exquisite small pavilion on the edge of the cliff and the observation hall on the second floor.
In the twisted light, Yunyan turned into a finely cut paper goose, lifelike.
"Yang Ziqian sent a book back." Li Mubai smiled and turned around to tell the two great scholars who were playing chess in the room, two bad chess players.
Zhang Shen and Chen Tai were playing happily, and asked casually without raising their heads: "What's it written?"
Li Mubai unfolded the letter with a smile on his face. Soon, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then his face gradually became ferocious.
"Shameless, absolutely shameless!" Li Mubai suddenly grabbed the letter in his hand and roared:
"Old thief Yang Gong, shameless, unworthy of being a scholar. I, Li Mubai, am ashamed of him, ashamed of him."
The sudden roar scared the two great scholars Zhang Shen and Chen Tai.
"What's wrong with that? Can a letter from Ziqian make you so angry?" Zhang Shen shook his head helplessly and laughed:
"Chun Jing, you are just a bit bad-tempered and irritable, that's why you lost to Wei Yuan. Look at Wei Yuan, he is calm and unmoved."
The great scholar Chen Tai shook his head: "Chun Jing is indeed a bit impatient, let me see the
letter."
Li Mubai was already out of anger, his heart was filled with the color of lemon, he snorted angrily, and threw the letter on the chessboard.
Zhang Shen reached out to pick it up and concentrated. Yang Gong Yang Ziqian said in the letter that he met with the governor's team in Qingzhou and met Xu Qiyan.
Yang Gong praised Xu Qiyan and called him the first poet in Dafeng for 500 years. As he praised him, Zhang Shen felt something was wrong. It seemed a bit boastful and soft-
hearted.
Looking down, it was a poem:
You eat and work, the fat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God--Xu Qiyan (Master Yang Gong)
The letter also said that this was copied from the inscription.
Rumble... The cliff shook violently, the gravel rolled, the air from the attic shook, and the roars of Zhang Shen and Chen Tai resounded throughout the Yunlu Academy.
"The old thief Yang Gong is not worthy of being a teacher. I suggest that this thief be kicked
out of Yunlu Academy."
"It's okay to write a farewell poem, but this one is also his? I don't accept it!!"
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry, and he even wrote a letter to show off..."
....
After having a Yunzhou-style lunch at the post station, Xu Qiyan took a cold shower and was
refreshed.
Wearing a white inner garment, she returned to the room, opened the lid of the pot, and the smoke rose, transforming into a stunning beauty, puffing 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 her attitude and said coquettishly: "Master~"
Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes and examined her.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Su Su blinked her eyes and made a seductive move to let
you pick her.
"I wonder how Ning Caichen operated." Xu Qi'an said bluntly.
"Who is Ning Caichen?"
"He is a scholar, and he also fell in love with a charm."
"That charm must be greedy for his essence." Su Su said angrily.
"Why?"
"Because I am a charmer, I am very greedy for men's essence."
"How do you get greedy?" Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, I will consider whether to let you go or not according to the severity of your sins."
"Use your mouth to suck." Su Su acted innocently, "I sucked the most heinous bandits, not
innocent people."
"Where to suck? Well, I just want to know the method of charmer."
"Suck the head."
"Which head?" Xu Qi'an's eyes shot out a sharp light.
Su Su looked a little confused, but still answered in detail, and poked her brow with her
slender fingers: "Here."
The light in Xu Qi'an's eyes went out immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "I've thought about it. You have done many evil things. I can't let you go easily. Go back."
Bang!
Cover the wine pot.
"Waste of time..." Xu Qi'an muttered, got up, left the room, and knocked on Song Tingfeng's
door.
"What's the matter?" Song Tingfeng originally planned to take a nap and recuperate. He had even taken off his pants when Xu Qiyan knocked on the door.
"The governor is not here, but we can't relax. I plan to try to decipher the code left by Zhou
Min. You and Guangxiao are both experienced night watchmen. I believe your opinions will
help me in my reasoning."
Song Tingfeng felt honored and ashamed when he heard the famous detective Xu Ningyan say this. After all, the most routine night watchmen do is violence output, not reasoning.
"Ningyan, I'm not good at solving cases... Actually."
"Have you heard of a saying?" Xu Qiyan said seriously. Song Tingfeng shook his head.
Xu Qi'an said: "Some careless words solved my doubts, and an inexplicable impulse made me
continue to pursue. I paid more attention to your every move."
Song Tingfeng said vigilantly: "Why do you pay attention to my every move? What do you
want to do."
"No, I just said it..."
Xu Qi'an changed the subject: "By the way, what do you think about Miss Su Su's matter?"
While speaking, he stared at Song Tingfeng fiercely, expecting to see him hiding his face and running away in shame.
When Song Tingfeng heard Miss Su Su, his heart hurt, and he said in a deep voice: "If I can't find her in this life, it will be a regret for Song."
She is in my room... This guy hasn't reacted yet? This is unreasonable. As long as she is paired
with Zhu Guangxiao, Su Su's operation will be exposed... They are hiding it from each other?
Why.
Is it because I am more trustworthy? Xu Qi'an was immediately moved.
"By the way, Ning Yan, don't tell anyone about Su Su, including Guangxiao." Song Tingfeng
warned.
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped." Xu Qian'an smiled brightly and said, "By the way, is it because I'm 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 matters between men and women, so you are not afraid of you knowing. Anyway, it won't be worse than you."
"...We all went to the Jiaofangsi together, why should I have no bottom line, just because I slept with Fuxiang and you slept with a girl of average appearance?" Xu Qian'an was not convinced, thinking that I neither refine copper nor love my mother, how can I have no
bottom line.
"Every time I talk to other colleagues about you sleeping with Fuxiang every night and not paying for it, everyone curses: Damn it, you bastard!"
The two knocked on Zhu Guangxiao's door together, and Song Tingfeng frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? You look listless. I felt something was wrong just now."
Zhu Guangxiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not saying it, and finally
looked at Xu Qian'an.
Why are you looking at me? Do you also think I'm a bastard? Xu Qian'an rolled his eyes
angrily.
The three of them went to the room where Zhou Min's relics were stored. After a long careful
inspection, Song Tingfeng was discouraged: "We have looked at these things over and over again countless
times."
Zhu Guangxiao looked at Xu Qian'an: "Ning Yan thinks that there are clues related to the
secret code in the relics?"
"Remember my idea of solving the riddle and finding the secret code?" Xu Qian'an paced beside the relics and carefully imparted knowledge:
"Putting yourself in other people's shoes is an indispensable part of reasoning. The case of
Zhou Min is different from the case of Sangbo. Sangbo at least has traces to follow, and we can just follow the clues.
"But there are no other clues in this case. The only clue is to solve the secret code left by Zhou Min. "
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao nodded slightly, thinking.
Having experienced the Sangpo case, they have some experience in solving the case, but they
are still at the stage of copying. If there is a case similar to the Sangpo case, the two can imitate Xu Qiyan's approach and try to solve the case.
But once the entry point of the case changes, they are at a loss.
In the martial arts, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are still in the stage of practicing sword
manuals, while Xu Qiyan is better without moves, and has a sword in his heart without a sword in his hand.
"Don't just nod, tell me what you think."
Song Tingfeng said uncertainly: "The secret code is left for us to crack, so the clue is actually
in a very conspicuous and easy to find place. It depends on whether we can find it?"
"Very good, blind monk, you found the point. "Xu Qian'an teased.
Then, he unfolded the paper, looked at the two groups of codes, and said: "These are two
groups of numbers. The numbers are in the form of codes, and they must correspond to a certain code book. If we find the code book, we can solve the puzzle."
Because a simple string or several strings of numbers are meaningless, the meaning is not in the numbers themselves, but in the information referred to by the numbers. There must be a code book.
"Except for the word "silent", the rest are numbers. The clues will definitely not be put in the
geomancy map in the same way as before, so where are there a lot of numbers?" Zhu Guangxiao asked in confusion.
"There are too many clues to the existence of numbers. Aren't there numbers in the book?"
Song Tingfeng said.
"Good, a very good guess." Xu Qian'an's eyes lit up: "Let's assume that these two groups of
codes exist in a book. According to our previous ideas, which book is the easiest for us to get?"
Song Tingfeng felt that his suggestion was adopted, and analyzed with high morale: "Three Character Classic, Dafeng Huidian, Yunzhou Chronicles?"
These are all books that can be found easily in Yunzhou. The Three Character Classic is an enlightenment reading material. There is a copy of the Dafeng Huidian in each state and government office. The Yunzhou Chronicle is the "history book" of Yunzhou. It is also very
common in the government office and in the post station.
The three people first asked the postman to find these books, but did not look through them
immediately, because there was another problem in front of them.
Zhu Guangxiao asked: "So what does the number of words mean, how to find it?"
"When a man loses a lot of protein, his brain will be temporarily unusable." Xu Qian'an looked at him and said seriously: "At this time, you need to rest or replenish it."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, these word numbers either represent the number of pages or imply which word. This
is the simplest reasoning." Xu Qian'an replied. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Song Tingfeng opened the Three Character Classic, "It is definitely not the number of pages,
because the Three Character Classic is only that thick."
As he said, he flipped through the Three Character Classic: "The 162nd word is
"righteousness" and the 347th word is "love".
"The other codes have also been deciphered. The two sets of codes Zhou Min gave are
connected together: Mo Renqing Xingren Zhi...
"Okay, this is wrong."
While Song Tingfeng failed to interpret, Xu Qiyan and Zhu Guangxiao were also interpreting
the other two books.
Zhu Guangxiao said: "Mo Hua Shenshui Dongzhong...Okay, this is also wrong." The two looked at Xu Qiyan together, and he said depressedly: "Mo is going to be in vain."
