Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 The official certificate is here
It was already dark at that time, and it was not too late. You could enter grandly through the south gate of the royal residence. Yueting's limbs were weak, so the two of them walked on each other's shoulders, which was still just fine. From the perspective of others, they thought it was because they had eaten more wine and were in poor health. Vain.

Lao Fulin, the gatekeeper of the south gate, had a stomachache and asked a boy to help him keep an eye on things. The boy called his brother, and the two of them were so absorbed in playing Go that Wang Heng and the others were not noticed when they entered the door.

After sending Yueting back to his room in Tangliyuan, Wangcai put the teapot and cakes on the spring stool in front of the bed and said: "Brother Yueting, you can sleep peacefully and eat something when you wake up. Let's go Liujiagang is just here to help Miss Yue'er, so there will definitely be no danger."

After that, he lowered the curtain and closed the door, making it look like the master had fallen asleep early.

Tangliyuan is now deserted. They didn't meet anyone on their way here. The main room of the South House, the original residence of Master Huiyun, has been locked up because it was haunted in July and a half.

Wang Cai said unwillingly: "How about we take the key with Uncle Youlin and go into the house to take a look. I don't know what several groups of people are looking for. Maybe it's still hidden in Master Huiyun's house."

Wang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't think there is any need to look for it anymore. How come something that so many people can't find, even Hong Yun can't find, is still in the south room."

Yue'er's words suddenly came to his mind, "Huiyun's behavior is really suspicious. She is so cool and doesn't seem to be in a hurry. It makes me wonder where she hid the evidence."

Wang Heng's eyes lit up. According to Huiyun's movement trajectory, the thing was not in the south room of Tangliyuan, so there was only one possibility.

Wang Heng grabbed Xiaocai and said with a complicated expression: "Let's go to Shenliu Hall."

Shenliu Hall is located in Waikou Courtyard and is a guest room for entertaining close relatives and friends.There have been no visitors to the house recently, so there is only one maid looking after the house in the outer room.

Wang Cai asked for two lanterns from the servant woman, and they opened the front door. It had been about two months since the last time he came in to check. Of course, the house had not changed much. If he insisted on finding any difference, it would be that the guests were gone. The roller blinds on the back curtain were removed, making the interior even cleaner.

Wang Cai went through all the boxes and drawers in the house and found that they were all sorted and empty.Then he groped the wall to see if any corner was hollow.

Wang Heng couldn't help but smile and said: "My servants are sweeping the court, so there is no need to look for anything. Master Huiyun hid things in order to take them out, so that the servants can find them casually, instead of just throwing them away." "

Wang Cai looked around. In the pattern of three lights and two darks, the cabinets, beds, chairs, books, and desks were all presented in their simplest appearance. They were not covered with brocade, and the rest were just white jade, blue bricks, and gray tiles.

Wang Heng lowered his head and meditated for a moment. He stopped in the main room with a lantern and looked up and down at the scroll "Peace and Rumination" hanging in the middle hall. He untied the ribbon hanging the scroll and spread the painting flat on the desk. The scroll was designed On colored paper, there is a vase with plum blossoms, and a handle of Ruyi under the vase. The brushwork is light and elegant, which means peace and good luck. The person from the Jingshi Mountain with money is a painting by Mr. Yu, the veteran of Wangge.

Wang Heng groped the scroll from top to bottom. The thin paper could not hide anything.

A soft sigh, maybe I still thought wrong.

"Ancient sandalwood?" I smelled a faint fragrance in my nose. It was sandalwood. "The axle used for mounting the painting is sandalwood." Wang Cai immediately jumped up and said, "I heard He Xiucai say in Lanxi before that ancient sandalwood is heavy." , it is easy to damage the painting, cut it into a hollow shape, and then put the two halves together to form a shaft."

Wang Heng gently used his fingers to pull the shaft head, and sure enough, the shaft head was divided into two parts, and a piece of yellow paper was placed in the hollow.

"In the Ming Dynasty, the South Zhili Taicang City Ship Lifting Company certificate, the Korean direct secret agent Jin Xuan, and three official ships came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. The cargo on board the ship was [-] pieces of yellow ramie, white ramie, and linen, which were full of Fifty flower mats, yellow flower mats, and colorful flower mats, two hundred catties of ginseng, sixty leopard skins, fifty otter skins, fifty mink skins, fur crown boots, mink fur boots, and knee-pad boots each. Two hundred pairs, five hundred yellow writing brushes, one thousand knives each for pure white paper, pure white thick paper, and printing paper.”

The city's shipping department approved the release, and the signature of the dragon and the phoenix appeared to be Zhu Qianli's. Indeed, there was no official signature.

Wang Cai exclaimed: "Master Huiyun stole the certificate and hid it in the axis of "Peace as the Intention". It was really a stroke of genius."

"Master Huiyun is very confident. After seeing several groups of people looking for him again and again, she is not in a hurry at all. This is because although she stole the certificate, she did not take it with her. Huiyun has a close relationship with her eldest brother and has worked in the royal residence several times. Guests, I think she is familiar with the layout of Shenliu Courtyard. She stole the certificate. If she hid it in a secret place on the wall, bed and chair, and was not discovered for a while, she would not be able to escape the eyes of the servants. If she hid it in Mr. Yuming's Among the things, Mr. Yuming could take them back at any time. And "Peace and Peace" is an auspicious map hand-drawn by his uncle. Even if the furnishings of Shenliu Courtyard were to be changed, no steward would dare to change a painting casually. In this way, she He will be invincible.”

"Sister Yue'er and her whole family relied on it to survive." Xiao Cai exclaimed excitedly.

"It's worth all our efforts. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Wang Heng carefully folded the certificate into small squares and put it in his personal cloth pocket: "Now we have to hurry up and rush to Liujiagang. "

It was not appropriate to go out through the south gate at this time. The two of them thought of the corridor of Xiangtao Pavilion. The end of the corridor was the corner of the back door. The gatekeeper, Lao Guozhong, was not drunk today, so he could not stay in the concierge. You may not be able to see clearly who is coming in or out.

The evening breeze was blowing gently and the night was as cool as water. When I went out from the back door, I had to go around to Zhouqiao. Wang Cai said: "I found Gongpian. I seem to have made up my mind, but suddenly I feel very hungry."

Wang Heng said: "When you told me, my stomach began to growl. I can't help it. I have to be hungry in a hurry. Just bear with it."

Arriving at Zhouqiao, he safely boarded Lao Lu's single-canopied boat. Seeing that Lao Lu had steamed some taro to satisfy his hunger, he begged him for two. Wang Cai rested his stomach and fell asleep under the rippling water of the lake. Soon Snoring like thunder.

Wang Heng was filled with emotions. In the spring, when he and Xiaocai returned to their hometown to study, they fell into a fog. Now they are traveling alone, and they don't know when the mystery will be revealed.Thinking about it, I don't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dawn and the morning star hung in the east.

A new day has arrived. Is this a sunny day?Or is it stormy?It remains to be seen at this time.
