Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 74 Ancient Seal Layout

"My lord, you are truly a man of God! If this case is handed over to the younger ones, even if the younger ones think about it, they will not be able to think that the murderer will be them!" Changtou nodded and bowed to Li Canghai, his voice was so respectful that he almost lost his face. It's on the ground.

"Hmph, you're an idiot, it would be nice if you can catch a few thieves, and you still want to solve the case?" Di Qing snorted with contempt.

Chang Tou is a very thick-skinned person, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is true, dare to ask the girl?"

"Luoyang government arrests the head!" Di Qing said proudly, showing the head-catching token on her waist.

Chang Tou's eyes widened, the eyeballs almost fell out, he hastily smiled flatteringly and said: "So it's the Goddess of Luoyang Mansion who catches her, the little one has eyes but no eyes, disrespect and disrespect!"

Although Di Qing hated him very much, she liked this sentence very much. She winked at Li Canghai triumphantly, as if showing off.

Li Canghai shook his head, and suddenly he said with a serious face: "Chang Feng, you are a head catcher, but you are arrogant, you don't know what happens, and you regard life cases as trifles. I will remove your head catcher status and demote you." Do you have any objections to guarding the city Zaoli?"

Changtou hastily kowtowed and said, "Young one has nothing to say."

This is much easier than kicking him out of the yamen as he thought before. As long as he is still in the yamen, he will have a chance to make money. As long as he stuffs more ingots for the young county magistrate, it will not be long before he catches the head. or his?
How could Li Canghai not know what he was thinking, he sneered and said, "I will not allow dirty officials under my rule, if I am found out, I will definitely kick him out of the yamen and never hire him!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and snorted: "Don't think that no one knows about your deeds. I have even solved many murder cases. It is not easy to investigate you?"

Chang Tou thought of his meticulous thinking before, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. Li Canghai's ability to solve crimes as if with divine help shocked him. Nor would he doubt it.

"Yes, yes, what your lord said is true, and you will never dare again when you're young." Chang wiped off his cold sweat and said tremblingly.

"Get up, I can't return to Zhengyang County for the time being, and now I'll give you a task to take care of the two murderers. Tomorrow, you will lead someone to escort them to the Zhengyang County jail." Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, calmly said.

After Chang Tou left, Di Qing stared at him with her long sword in her arms.

"What? Is there anything strange about my face?" Seeing Di Qing staring at him, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Well, I don't see it, you are quite suitable to be an official!" Di Qing blinked and said suddenly with a smile.

Li Canghai was dumbfounded. He tapped Di Qing on the forehead, and said in a deep voice, "We've already wasted half a day because of the murder. We need to find the entrance to the treasure quickly."

Hearing what he said, Di Qing's expression became serious.Slightly twitching her small nose, she asked, "But we don't have any clues now, how can we find it?"

"The only plan for now is to take one step at a time." Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows and said with some headaches.

The two were thinking about it, but the shopkeeper came over.

"My lord's wisdom in solving a strange case is truly a genius. I have prepared a banquet for my lord. One is to celebrate my lord's cracking of a strange case, and the other is to express my admiration for my lord. I hope my lord will not refuse!" "The shopkeeper saluted the two of them slightly, and said with a smile on his face.

Li Canghai wanted to say no at first, but he could tell at a glance that the shopkeeper was a person who only wanted profit, and he didn't want to deal with such a thing.

However, Di Qing's stomach growled, and Li Canghai remembered that Di Qing hadn't eaten since she woke up.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Li Canghai nodded slightly at him, and then walked to the upper room under his guidance.

In the upper room, there was a large table full of delicacies, which made the mouth water flowing.

"My lord, please sit down. These are birds and beasts in the mountains. Although they are not precious, they taste delicious. Please, my lord." The shopkeeper picked up the jug and filled them with wine, and said with a smile.

"You're being polite, shopkeeper." Li Canghai toasted him with a glass of wine, while Di Qing, already hungry, ate up her chest without caring about her image.

Li Canghai smiled, told her to eat slowly, and then chatted with the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, why did so many people suddenly come to Luofeng Gathering?"

"Your Excellency, I don't know that this is a good time to come to Mang Mountain for sightseeing. Every time at this time, there will be rich businessmen and literati coming to view the scenery, so there are many people." The shopkeeper said after drinking a glass of wine. .

Li Canghai snorted, he picked up a piece of bacon and chewed it in his mouth, and said while chewing, "So, the shopkeeper is from Luofengji?"

"That's right, from birth until now, I have never left Luofengji."

"The shopkeeper should know Luofengji very well." Li Canghai asked casually.

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "That's true. I've been in Luofengji for decades, and there's nothing I don't know."

"I heard that Luofengji used to be an important town and was stationed in a military camp?" Li Canghai suddenly felt that he could get some information from the shopkeeper, so he asked.

The shopkeeper drank a few glasses of wine, and said a little drunk: "This is all about the time of Emperor Wu. The glory of Luofengji has declined, but look at these streets, which are really rebuilt according to the layout of the imperial court. .”

Having said that, the shopkeeper asked him to wait a moment, then he unsteadily took out a box from the room and put it on the table.

"This is the layout plan of the Luofeng Collection left by our ancestors. The ancestors participated in the reconstruction of the Luofeng Collection. This is a rubbing made by him secretly. If you don't believe me, you can take it to see." The shopkeeper sighed a little drunk, as if Still feeling sad for the fall of Luofengji.

Li Canghai brought the wooden box, and found that there was a piece of yellowed white cloth inside. It was so black that it couldn't be seen clearly, but it could be vaguely seen that it was an ancient seal character of "鳯".

This word is much more complicated than what he guessed. Li Canghai thought for a while, and then took out the treasure map. He didn't expect that the two maps could overlap.

These two pictures are all rubbings from the original pictures, without any deviation. After overlapping the character '鳯' formed by the treasure map and the layout map of Luofeng Collection, the character 'bird' in it disappeared. , but the outer radicals are very clear.

Li Canghai was taken aback, and his intuition told him that these two radicals were the key to solving the puzzle.However, what is the meaning of this?
After pondering for a while, Li Canghai suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper, is there a hill in Mangshan that has phoenix trees and can see the sunrise?"

"Hi, yes... it's here, at Cuiyun Peak." The shopkeeper drank a lot, and said with some tongue-tied.
