Chapter 306 Found! Royal Secret Treasure!
"Okay! I'll go and give the order right away!"

Sun Fujia took a deep breath and calmed the excitement in his heart. He knew that even if the opportunity was right in front of him, he needed to seize it step by step and not be impatient.

He asked Lin Feng again: "Besides this, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Every member of the Four Symbols Organization is very cautious and cunning. We only do what we have to do and don't do anything extra. Otherwise, once they notice us and alert them, everything we have done before may be in vain."

Sun Fujia's heart trembled, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter personally and will never let anyone notice it."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Since I have entrusted this matter to Doctor Sun, I naturally trust Doctor Sun."

After saying that, he and Sun Fujia returned to the crowd. Then Lin Feng saw Li Tai and Li Zhen directly turned Ang Su's bag over and poured out everything inside.

Looking at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, Lin Feng smiled and said, "This Ang Su has accumulated quite a fortune."

"What a corrupt official! With his salary alone, he would never have so much gold, silver and jewelry."

Li Tai was still angry about what Ang Su had just said to him.

Lin Feng smiled without saying anything, watching Li Tai and Li Zhen searching around. He immediately understood what they were looking for.

"How is it?" Lin Feng asked.

Li Tai looked through all the gold, silver and jewelry, then raised his head with a frown, shook his head and said to Lin Feng, "Nothing was found. There is no prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison, nor anything about the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl. In his bag, there is nothing else except the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl and these gold, silver and jewelry."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Sun Fujia's heart skipped a beat. He said, "There is no prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison... Damn! Did he hide the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison? Or even destroy it?"

"What!?"

Li Zhen, whose expression never changed, suddenly had his pupils dilated when he heard Sun Fujia's words. He was the most loyal to the royal family and was most worried about Li Chengqian's safety. When he heard that the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison might have been hidden or even destroyed, he quickly became nervous: "What should we do? If we can't find the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison, what should His Royal Highness do?"

Li Tai was also shocked. After all, he was the one who gave Li Chengqian the second type of the Golden Pearl Poison. If anything happened to Li Chengqian, he would not have a good ending either.

"Don't worry, the recipe for the Golden Pearl Poison should not have been destroyed... or rather, not completely destroyed."

But at this moment, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded slowly.

Hearing these leisurely and calm words without any heavy tone, everyone was stunned at first, then they suddenly raised their heads and looked at Lin Feng.

Li Tai hurriedly asked, "Lin Sizheng, you said that the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison was not destroyed? Is that true?"

Li Zhen's hands were clenched into fists due to nervousness.

Lin Feng faced everyone's nervous gazes and said in a reassuring and gentle tone, "Have you forgotten what Ang Su just said?"

"What about Ansu?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "After I saved Ang Su, I tried to recruit him. Although he was tempted, he refused. But you can see that his refusal did not mean that he was determined to stand on the opposite side of me. He just had reasons to refuse... In fact, he still hated the organization that wanted to kill people and was more inclined to me as his savior."

"So, whether it's because he was grateful or he wanted to leave a good impression on me so that I could have a chance to rely on him in the future, he still gave me a very important message when he rejected me."

Important information?
As everyone listened to Lin Feng's words, their brains subconsciously recalled what had just happened.

Suddenly, Li Zhen's eyes flashed, and his gaze quickly fell on the Buddhist beads in Lin Feng's hand, and asked: "Red Sandalwood Cloud Beads?"

"Yes!" After hearing what Li Zhen said, Li Tai also remembered: "At that time you said that you saved Angsu's life, Angsu should at least show some appreciation... Then Angsu told you that the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl was in the bag."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter where the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl is. What's important is that he said something... He said that with the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl, I will be able to report to His Majesty."

He looked at Li Zhen and the others and said slowly, "We all know that Ang Su was behind the series of events in the Donggong case, so he knows best what I need, so his words are worth pondering."

Sun Fujia's eyes flickered a few times, and he quickly understood what Lin Feng meant, and said: "So, you are saying... we can find the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison in the royal secret collection?"

"Really? He didn't take the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison from the royal secret collection?" Li Zhen asked hurriedly.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Since he wanted someone to find herbs according to the prescription and prepare the Golden Pearl Poison, it is impossible for him not to take the prescription... But given his situation at the time, it is even more impossible for him to lie to me, so I think there is probably more than one prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison. He took one away, but at least one more is left in the royal secret collection."

"Yes, yes, that must be it!"

Li Tai nodded quickly. Lin Feng had proved his wisdom with countless practical actions, so when he finished speaking, Li Tai had no doubt at all.

But Li Zhen did not relax his frown. He looked at the red sandalwood cloud bead in Lin Feng's hand with a serious expression: "Even if it is true, the situation is still not optimistic. After all, we have not solved the secret of the red sandalwood cloud bead. If we can't solve its secret, we will not be able to find the royal secret treasure."

"This Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl has been handed down for a hundred years. Countless people have studied it day and night. Even Lin Sizheng has checked it out... But what is the result? Except for the Four Symbols Organization, no one has cracked the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl. And now we don't have much time. No one has been able to crack it in such a long time. We only have a few days. Can we really crack it? If we can't crack it, what's the use of knowing that the recipe for the Golden Pearl Poison is in the royal secret collection?"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Li Tai's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Yes, even if they knew that the key to solving the problem was the royal secret treasure, they had not cracked the secret hidden in the red sandalwood cloud beads at all.

Sun Fujia frowned and thought for a while, then said to Lin Feng: "How about we meet Ang Su again? Since Ang Su is interested, maybe if we look for him a few more times, he will tell us the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl."

"Yes, Angsu must know this secret." Li Tai's eyes lit up.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng denied it: "No."

"Why not?" Li Tai was stunned.

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "If Ang Su was willing to tell us, he would have told us before, but he didn't say it, which means that he is moved and grateful to me. The only thing he can do is to hand over the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl and tell me the key information to solve the problem. More importantly, you can say that he has a weakness and dare not say more, or that he wants to see my ability again before considering whether to join me... In short, if you ask him, he will definitely not tell you, and it may cause him to be disgusted and have some thoughts, which is not good."

"What should we do?"

Li Tai scratched his head anxiously. He turned back and forth in annoyance: "This won't work, and that won't work. We have finally come to this point after going through so much hardship. Are we going to fail at this last step?"

Li Zhen lowered his head and clenched his teeth tightly.

Sun Fujia also couldn't help showing a sad look.

Just as Li Tai said, they had gone through untold hardships to get here and find the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl, and this was truly the last step... If they really stopped here, how could they be willing?
Suddenly, Sun Fujia raised his head, looked at Lin Feng and said, "How about we try to pry open Faan's mouth? The Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl was cracked by Faan. If we can pry open her mouth, we can also quickly know the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl and find out where the royal secret treasure is hidden."

"That's right!"

The calm Li Zhen said in a rare and quick tone: "Faan is different from Angsu, we don't need to consider Faan's thoughts..."

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "We can also use the method we used to deal with Angsu to deal with Faan... We can arrange for someone to pretend to be from the Four Symbols Organization and pretend to kill Faan to silence her, so that Faan will be disappointed with the Four Symbols Organization... Then we can send down a divine force to save her, and she will definitely be grateful to us, and maybe she will speak up."

When Li Tai heard what Li Zhen said, his eyes lit up quickly: "This method will definitely work. Although it is repeated, Faan doesn't know that we have used this method. Ansu is so cunning and he fell for it, so Faan will definitely fall for it too."

Even Sun Fujia nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.

This is the most feasible solution they can think of.

"Zide, what do you think?" Sun Fujia asked Lin Feng for his opinion.

Li Tai and Li Zhen also hurriedly looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was their backbone now. They would not dare to make a decision easily unless Lin Feng spoke.

Then, they saw Lin Feng, who had been staring at the red sandalwood cloud bead in his hand, slowly raised his head. Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said, "You can give it a try, but it may not succeed."

"Why!?" Li Tai frowned and asked, "No matter how cunning Faan is, he can't be as cunning as Angsu, right?"

Li Zhen and Sun Fujia were also very puzzled.

Lin Feng nodded: "Indeed, no matter how cunning Faan is, he is about the same as Ansu... But this does not mean that the same plan will have the same effect on them."

Li Zhen frowned and asked, "Why did Lin Sizheng say that?"

Lin Feng could feel Li Zhen's anxiety, which gave him a deeper understanding of Li Zhen's loyalty to the royal family.

He said: "Li Qianniu, why don't you think about it, when you pretended to be assassins of the Four Elephants Organization to kill Ang Su, why did Ang Su believe you without any doubt?"

"This……"

Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Because he knows the Four Symbols Organization, after he knew that Wu Feng was exposed, he couldn't wait to send someone to kill Wu Feng to silence him. So now that he is exposed, he is not surprised that the Four Symbols Organization would silence him. Instead, he thinks it is natural."

"That makes sense, but that's not the point."

"What?" Li Zhen was stunned. He felt that he had thought it through very carefully. How could it not be the point?
Lin Feng didn't keep the secret any longer. He said, "The point is that Ang Su never thought that someone would pretend to be a killer from their Four Symbols Organization to kill him and silence him."

"Then why didn't he consider this possibility?"

Li Zhen pursed his lips and began to think as Lin Feng spoke.

Lin Feng said slowly: "Because in Ang Su's cognition, he escaped earlier than I discovered his identity. In other words... in his opinion, it is impossible for me to know his whereabouts, and the only one who is most familiar with his whereabouts is the Four Symbols Organization."

"So, how could I, who didn't know his whereabouts, arrange for someone to pretend to be from the Four Symbols Organization and kill him on his way?"

When Li Zhen heard Lin Feng's words, his eyes suddenly widened and his expression changed rapidly. Looking at the change in Li Zhen's expression, Lin Feng knew that Li Zhen had understood what he meant.

He continued, "And what about Faan? I have sent people to capture her... Even if I didn't capture her, the Half Moon Temple where she is has been surrounded by our people."

"In this case, how do you send assassins to silence people?"

"The Four Symbols Organization is so bold that they dare to send people to silence Fa'an even though they know that I have already captured Fa'an with a large force? Not to mention that this is not a matter of boldness at all, but stupidity. This is Chang'an City, our territory. Fa'an is guarded by the most elite Qianniu Guards, and I personally planned it. Not to mention that Fa'an is only responsible for the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl mission and knows nothing about other things. Even if Fa'an knows more than Wu Feng, the Four Symbols Organization will never dare to take risks easily. What if Fa'an was thrown out by me to fish, and it was a trap? The Four Symbols Organization has reached a critical juncture now. Would they be so impulsive and imprudent?"

"So, no matter how you look at it, the Four Symbols Organization will not easily come to silence someone! And in this case, if there really is an assassin coming to kill Faan to silence her, what do you think Faan will think? Will she be like Angsu and have no doubts about the identities of these assassins?"

Li Zhen was silent. He wanted to find faults with Lin Feng to prove that they still had a chance to pry open Fa An's mouth, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find anything to refute Lin Feng.

Indeed, Faan and Angsu are in different situations. The Four Symbols Organization will kill Angsu, but will never easily attack Faan.

If a killer really came and things were obviously abnormal, how could Faan not be suspicious?
Powerlessness, frustration, and many other negative emotions came like a tide, causing the originally calm Li Zhen to utter dejected words rarely seen before: "What should we do? Are we really going to let His Royal Highness get into trouble?"

Li Tai and Sun Fujia also looked very unhappy.

But who would have thought that Lin Feng would laugh at this moment: "I shouldn't have said that I would let His Royal Highness get into trouble, right?"

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the laughter.

Sun Fujia, who was most familiar with Lin Feng, was stunned for a moment before realizing something. He quickly asked, "Zide... Do you have a solution?"

"Does Lin Sizheng have a solution?" Upon hearing this, Li Tai and Li Zhen hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

Li Zhen subconsciously took a step forward, nervously and expectantly asked, "Really?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Li Qianniu said something wrong just now."

"What's wrong?" Li Zhen didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng said: "Li Qianniu just said that the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl cannot be cracked, so it is useless for us to get the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl..."

"Isn't that right?"

“Of course not…” Lin Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said meaningfully: “After all… I have cracked its secret, how can it be useless.”

"What!? You cracked its secret!?"

Li Zhen's whole body shook. He was excited, but also a little bit unbelieving, fearing that he had heard it wrong.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't doubt your ears. I do know the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl."

After getting Lin Feng's confirmation again, Li Zhen was finally sure that he had not heard it wrong.

This made him feel like a long-awaited rain, and he was so excited that he almost cried out loud.

Li Tai was also very excited. He couldn't help but ask, "But didn't you crack it before?"

Li Zhen also hurriedly looked at Lin Feng. The reason why he was so anxious and pessimistic just now was because Lin Feng said that he had not cracked the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl. If he knew that Lin Feng had cracked it, why would he be so anxious?
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Before I got the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl this time, I really didn't know what its secret was, but now... I already know."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone present was stunned.

Li Tai couldn't help but ask: "That is to say... Lin Sizheng, you cracked it in such a short time after obtaining the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, everyone was even more confused.

Has it been half a quarter of an hour since Lin Feng obtained the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl?

Not to mention that Lin Feng had been solving their puzzles all along. He just looked down at the red sandalwood cloud beads for a few times. How could this solve the secret that so many people had been unable to crack for hundreds of years?

real or fake?

Lin Feng glanced at everyone and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "Actually, I took advantage of the situation. If I were to crack it bit by bit, to be honest... I can't say how long it would take me to crack it. But if I were to use the perspective of investigating a case to deduce how Angsu and the others used the red sandalwood cloud beads, then it wouldn't be that difficult for me."

"The angle of investigation?" Everyone was still very confused.

They don't understand what this has to do with the investigation.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the crowd, Lin Feng raised the red sandalwood cloud bead in his hand and said, "You might as well take a closer look. Is there anything wrong with this red sandalwood cloud bead?"

"Something wrong?"

Li Tai has just carefully examined the red sandalwood cloud beads. Speaking of the red sandalwood cloud beads, apart from the fact that they are a bit old and the Buddha statues carved on them are lifelike, he did not find anything special about them. As long as he is willing, he can ask the craftsmen to make more and more beautiful ones for him.

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Zhen and Sun Fujia all moved closer to the red sandalwood cloud bead and examined it carefully.

But after looking at it for a long time, they just stared at each other and didn't find anything wrong with the red sandalwood cloud beads.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about its craftsmanship. I'm not like Doctor Sun, who has read so many books and has the ability to appreciate... Look at the details, look at the surface, just like investigating a case, looking for clues, looking for things that shouldn't exist."

"Details... things that shouldn't exist..."

Listening to Lin Feng's hint, Sun Fujia seemed to understand something. He moved closer to the red sandalwood cloud bead again, almost touching it with his eyes. His sight scanned the red sandalwood cloud bead inch by inch. At this moment, his eyes suddenly moved and he said, "Could it be... ink?"

"What? Ink?"

Li Zhen and Li Tai were both stunned.

Sun Fujia raised his hand, pointed to the lines on the beads where the Buddha statues were carved, and said, "Look at the depressions of these lines. There are some dark marks on them. They are not marks left by time, but more like ink marks."

Listening to Sun Fujia's words, Li Zhen and Li Tai also looked at him purposefully. Soon Li Tai was surprised and said, "It's true. This is too subtle. I didn't notice it at all just now."

Li Zhen seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, saying, "I wonder if there was any ink mark on the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl when Lin Sizheng saw it last time?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "The red sandalwood cloud bead is the most precious treasure of the Half Moon Temple. There are people who clean it every day. Even dust has no chance to fall on it. How could there be ink stains?"

Lin Feng's words were equivalent to telling them directly that ink is the key!
Sun Fujia's mind moved, and he thought: "So... these ink marks appeared after being obtained by the Four Symbols Organization! Could it be... that this is the key for them to crack the secret of the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl?"

Li Zhen and Li Tai were shocked when they heard this, and they looked at Lin Feng hurriedly.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Just try it and you'll know."

As he spoke, he asked everyone for the four treasures of the study.

Li Zhen quickly prepared everything for Lin Feng, and then they saw Lin Feng cut the string that tied the Buddhist beads, and then took out the beads one by one and placed them on the table in order.

Then, he looked around, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a Buddhist bead. Li Tai stood on tiptoe and took a closer look. He found that the Buddhist bead picked out by Lin Feng was engraved with the image of Buddha.

Lin Feng said: "If you want to leave ink marks on the concave lines of the Buddha statue, you must let the entire Buddha bead be stained with ink... I have just checked, and there are ink marks on the lines of the Buddha statues of all the Buddha beads, which means that all the Buddha beads have been stained with ink."

"And the Red Sandalwood Cloud Bead was obtained by the Four Symbols Organization with great difficulty. It contains important secrets. They must have carefully protected it to prevent the secrets hidden in the Red Sandalwood Cloud Bead from being destroyed. Therefore, it is impossible for them to accidentally stain the entire Buddhist beads with ink. So...the ink can only be stained by them on purpose."

"Then why did the Four Elephants Organization do this?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked thoughtful.

However, before they could figure out the intentions of the Four Symbols Organization, they saw Lin Feng taking action.

As Lin Feng spoke, he picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then carefully applied the ink to the Buddha statue on the beads...

"At first, I couldn't understand the intention of the Four Elephants Organization's strange behavior. But when I looked more closely at the Buddha statue and the auspicious clouds above, I suddenly realized that the lines of the Buddha statue and the auspicious clouds were not aligned, but some were high and some were low... This would result in that if these lines were stained with ink, then after they touched the paper, some lines would leave marks, while others would not leave anything because they could not touch the paper."

"That is to say... the Buddha statue and the auspicious clouds will not remain intact on the paper, like this..."

As he spoke, Lin Feng pressed the part of the Buddhist beads with the Buddha statue and auspicious clouds heavily on the paper.

After he took the Buddhist beads away, everyone rushed forward to take a look.

Then they discovered that there were some seemingly irregular line patterns left on the paper. As Lin Feng said, it was not a complete Buddha statue or auspicious clouds at all.

"But what does this prove? I don't understand this at all!" Li Tai was even more confused.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry... Aren't there still so many of these Buddhist beads? It won't be too late for me to print them all on paper."

As he spoke, Lin Feng applied ink to the other Buddhist beads one by one in order, and then pressed them onto the paper.

At the same time, he said: "Buddha started with Sakyamuni, so these Buddhist beads should start with the Buddha statue, and then go down in order..."

Slowly, Lin Feng followed the order strictly and copied the Buddhist beads one by one, and finally...

The last Buddhist bead was pressed down heavily by Lin Feng. As Lin Feng picked it up, everyone subconsciously moved forward and looked at the paper.

then……

They all widened their eyes.

He couldn't help but show shock and astonishment on his face!
"This this……"

Li Tai couldn't help but exclaimed: "Map! After all the Buddhist beads were copied, they were connected to each other, and it turned out to be... It turned out to be a map!"

"Could it be...could it be..."

He quickly looked at Lin Feng and swallowed his saliva. He was excited and nervous, and his voice was tense: "Is this... the map of the royal secret collection that we have been looking for?"

When everyone heard Li Tai's words, they subconsciously looked at Lin Feng. Li Zhen's breathing became rapid and he subconsciously clenched his fists. Sun Fujia also stared at Lin Feng closely.

Then, they saw Lin Feng smiled gently: "It seems that we are lucky. This royal secret treasure has finally been unveiled."
