Chapter 229 (1/2)
229 Another brainstorming _1
To solve the mystery … You’ve found out?
Everyone present was overjoyed, but they also found it unbelievable. How did he do it? they clearly had no clue at all.
He had easily solved the mystery of such a headless case. Everyone had participated in the case and had a discussion about it. The same information, the same clues, everyone was confused. How could he solve it?
Was Xu ningyan really that terrifying?
Provincial governor Zhang, who had been working hard on the riddle of “lady Wen’s marriage,” trembled and broke through the seal. He grabbed Xu Qi ‘an’s arm in ecstasy. At this moment, old Zhang had lost his demeanor as a provincial governor and asked repeatedly, ”
“You’ve solved the mystery? Is it true? is it true?”
At this moment, I want to say,”I lied to you …” He would probably be beaten to death … yes. Xu Qi ‘an stood up and walked out. at least I’ve made a major breakthrough.
Under everyone’s gaze, he came to the courtyard of the courier station, took out the geomancy map from the bag hanging on the horse, returned to the hall, and spread it out on the table.
“The mystery of the word riddle is in the geomancy map.” Xu Qi ‘an pressed his hands on the map and looked up at the crowd. He explained, ”
“It’s impossible to convey information with just a jade pendant. Zhou Jing will find a way to get Madam Yingying to bring more information, but in order to keep it a secret, he used a guessing game. He had hidden it from everyone, including Yingying’s husband.
however, with layman Purple sun’s wisdom, he will definitely be able to figure out the secret of the riddle as long as he asks carefully.
“Then why is the secret of the riddle in the geomancy map?” Zhu guangxiao asked, frowning.
because the geomancy map is the easiest to get. It’s also the first time recluse Purple Sun has come to Yunzhou. He will definitely get it. Xu Qi ‘an replied.
‘That’s right, there’s a geomancy map in the relay station. It’s my first choice to get a geomancy map when I’m new here …’ Everyone came to a sudden realization.
“Let’s verify whether my reasoning is right or wrong.” Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and looked at the map,”the five words provided by the riddle are:Si. Bo. Gao. Huang. Ming.”
The crowd rushed to the table and looked at the map with him.
When this geomancy map was spread out, it almost covered the entire table, including all of White Emperor City. The streets, buildings, lakes, bridges, and government offices were all marked.
Everyone muttered those words while searching for the corresponding name.
“Siming bridge!” Song tingfeng suddenly pointed somewhere.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the spot where his finger was pointing. The outline of an arch bridge was outlined there, and the tiny words on it were:Siming bridge.
The other Gong pointed to another place, “”There’s a Huang Bo Street here.”
The two words “Sue” and “Emperor” couldn’t be found in the corresponding locations, especially the word “Emperor,” which was too taboo and couldn’t be found in the entire map.
“The clue is likely to be in one of these two locations.” Xu Qi ‘an analyzed.
“The remaining two words are useless?” Someone asked.
“The other words may be used to deceive people and to mix in water. Let’s not worry about it for now. We’ll see if we can find anything after we search these two places.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Provincial governor Zhang selected six night watchmen to change into casual clothes and head to Huang Bo Street to investigate the situation. Xu Qi ‘an, on the other hand, brought his two good friends, Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng, to Siming bridge to investigate.
Huangbo Street was neither too far nor too close to the courier station, it was more than ten li away. The Siming bridge was more than twenty miles long.
The three of them galloped on the wide streets. The attics and courtyards along the way had obvious Southern characteristics. They had white walls and black tiles, and loquats were planted in the courtyards.
Loquats were one of the specialties of Yunzhou.
In addition, the dressing style of the common people was also very different from that of the capital. There was more freedom in dressing here, and there were minions everywhere.
In the capital, bright yellow cloth was used by the royal family, but Xu Qi ‘an saw many passers-by in Yunzhou wearing bright yellow robes.
“Although the culture is different in different places, isn’t the Imperial court’s control over Yunzhou too weak?” Xu Qian was worried.
“The weather here in Yunzhou is really uncomfortable. It’s damp and cold.” Song tingfeng frowned.
“It’s still better in our capital. It’s a little cold, but not so scary. When I was sending the traveling merchant back today, I saw a passerby shaking as he walked.” Zhu guangxiao spoke.
“You two are like the wolves in the North. You came to the South and froze like a silly Husky.” Xu Qi ‘an laughed. Of course, the Qi refining realm Warriors were not afraid of the cold or the heat. He was just joking.
…. The two of them looked at him in confusion. What was a Husky?
In fact, in this era, the winter in the South was much better than in the North. The poor people could survive the winter by collecting straw and having a shelter.
It was different in the North. Many poor people who could not afford to buy charcoal died silently in the winter.
After all, there was no central heating in the North of Da Feng.
Moreover, when they rode horses in the South during winter, snot would come out as they rode. During winter, when they rode horses in the North, their noses became useless.
They arrived at their destination half an hour later.
Siming bridge was an arch bridge with two big and two small holes on a small river. It was carved out of white jade and covered in moss.
The three of them carefully examined the bridge for a long time. Finally, Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes locked onto a protruding stone brick on the outside of the bridge.
He pinched the brick with two fingers and slowly pulled it out, pulling out the brick-sized brick bit by bit.
He reached into the brick hole and fumbled for a moment, then found a silk bag.
Sure enough, it was because of this silk bag that the stone bricks were unable to fit together.
“There’s really something!” Song tingfeng was overjoyed. He moved closer and urged, “”Open it and see what it is.”
Silent, 162. 347,4,1,2…. What did these two sets of numbers mean … ‘F * ck, Zhou Jing is really a talent …
Xu Qi ‘an opened the silk bag, and there was a note inside. He unfolded the note and saw the words:
1622
Three hundred and forty-seven four twelve
