Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan and finally floated out of the sea. An S-76 helicopter hovered slowly above their heads, and waves were rolled up by the helicopter's huge blades on the sea.The helicopter lowered the cable ladder, and Tang Feng tried his best to grab the cable ladder.Holding the cable ladder with his right hand and holding Liang Yuan in his left hand, he climbed up the cable ladder with difficulty.Liang Yuan was gulped several mouthfuls of salty sea water and fell unconscious.When Liang Yuan woke up, seeing that she was hugged tightly by Tang Feng, she felt ashamed and indignant, and said angrily to Tang Feng, "Let me go! Scoundrel, take advantage of me!"

But the more Liang Yuan shouted, the more her elastic breasts pressed against Tang Feng's firm chest, making her feel even more ashamed and angry.Tang Feng was tired and cold at the moment, he had no leisure time to take advantage of the beauty, he whispered to Liang Yuan: "Don't move, if you move again, I will let go, and you will fall into the sea!"

"You don't care if I fall into the sea, rascal!" Liang Yuan was still stubborn.It was the first time Tang Feng heard someone call him a hooligan, and he really wanted to let go and let this young lady taste the sea water again, but he still restrained himself.

At this time, for some reason, the helicopter above shook violently, and Liang Yuan screamed.This is good, there is no need for Tang Feng to take advantage of her, Liang Yuan took the initiative to hug Tang Feng's neck, and hugged him so tightly that Tang Feng couldn't breathe...

When Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were rescued ashore, Han Jiang had been waiting on the shore for a long time.Tang Feng's face was pale, and he asked Han Jiang out of breath, "Why did you come to Hong Kong so quickly?"

"Hmph! If I'm one step late, I'll take care of your life." Han Jiang paused for a moment, then looked at Liang Yuan and asked, "Is this Miss Liang Yuan?"

"Yes, she is Liang Yuan, the daughter of Liang Yongquan." Tang Feng replied for Liang Yuan.

"You are shocked. My name is Han Jiang. I am now in charge of your grandfather's case and the whole incident. If you have any suggestions, requests or valuable clues about the whole matter, you can tell me." Han Jiang said He shook hands with Liang Yuan very friendly.

Liang Yuan looked at Han Jiang in front of her, and suddenly raised her request loudly: "My only request is to act together with you and catch the murderer who killed my grandfather."

"This..." Han Jiang, who has always acted decisively, also hesitated.

"What? You don't agree! If you don't agree, I won't hand over the jade screen to you." Liang Yuan said willfully.

"You see, this little ancestor is the tough guy!" Tang Feng whispered in Han Jiang's ear.

When Han Jiang was in trouble, a helicopter slowly landed beside them. Zhao Yong jumped off the helicopter with a lockbox and reported to Han Jiang: "I have taken back the box, but I don't know if it is intact. "

"Yes! That's the box." Before Han Jiang could speak, Tang Feng recognized Zhao Yong's hand as the box that stored the jade screen.

Liang Yuan snatched the combination box from Zhao Yong's hand, and didn't feel relieved until she saw that the jade screen was intact.She turned to Han Jiang again: "How about it, Captain Han, have you considered it? Allow me to participate?"

Han Jiang shook his head helplessly, but he didn't answer Liang Yuan immediately, but instead asked her: "Miss Liang, do you know who is the group who tried to kidnap you?"

"How do I know! There are many people who are interested in Jade Chaping. But... But I suspect that this group of people may be the same group as the one who killed my grandfather." Liang Yuan guessed.

"How can you see it?"

"My intuition, my intuition has always been right."

"Hehe, it seems that you, like me, trust your intuition." Han Jiang's intuition has saved him from danger many times, and he is often proud of it, but he is more willing to believe in the evidence at this time.

At this time, a Mercedes-Benz stopped outside the cordon. Han Jiang saw that the person getting out of the car was Liang Yongquan. He waved to the alert police, and Liang Yongquan crossed the cordon and walked towards them.

Liang Yongquan's face was gloomy, Tang Feng couldn't see any other expressions on his face, he didn't know what Liang Yongquan was thinking now, if something like this happened, he didn't know if Liang Yongquan would change his mind?Just when Tang Feng was thinking wildly, Liang Yongquan had already walked in front of them. After shaking hands with Han Jiang, Liang Yongquan turned to look closely at Tang Feng and Liang Yuan.Tang Feng felt Liang Yongquan's sharp gaze, and he began to fear Liang Yongquan's sharp gaze.After a stalemate like this for a while, Liang Yongquan said to Tang Feng: "How is it? Tang Feng, I said earlier that those people would not invite you as politely as I did. Now you should have a clear understanding of the danger you are facing Come on!"

"Yes, these gangsters are really powerful." Tang Feng had to admit.

"And you, Yuanyuan!" Liang Yongquan turned to Liang Yuan, "You should know how dangerous this matter is by now, and you still want to do it with Tang Feng and the others?"

"Think! Daddy, now that Huang Dahu is dead, let me work with Tang Feng and the others. I will definitely catch the murderer who killed grandpa." Liang Yuan stared innocently at Liang Yongquan and said.

When Liang Yongquan heard this, he was speechless with anger.He stared at Liang Yuan and held back for a long time without uttering a word.In the end, Liang Yongquan glared at Liang Yuan fiercely, and then walked away resentfully.

Zhao Yong protected the password box with the jade screen and jumped onto the helicopter. On the shore, only Tang Feng, Liang Yuan and Han Jiang were left.The three of them were thinking about their next plan, and Tang Feng suddenly asked Liang Yuan: "I have always wanted to ask you a question, did your grandfather say anything to you during the period after you bought the jade screen? Or... ...or is there any unusual behavior?"

Liang Yuan thought for a while, then said: "There is nothing wrong with abnormal behavior. Grandpa likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and when he gets good things, he will stay alone in the room to appreciate his collection. This time, Grandpa bought back the jade socket The queen of the screen also often stays in the room, as if studying something. Sometimes grandpa also goes out to visit some old friends, all of whom are old acquaintances of grandpa. The only thing that is a little abnormal is that grandpa does not let me and daddy touch this jade plug screen, I only saw the jade screen once after the auction. Other than that, I didn’t find anything unusual about grandpa.”

"Think about it again, is there really no more?" Tang Feng still hoped to get valuable clues from Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. Grandpa received a letter before he went to Guangzhou."

"A letter?" Tang Feng and Han Jiang said in surprise at the same time.

"Well, just that morning, I found a letter in the mailbox. The letter was addressed to Grandpa, but the sender's address was not left on the envelope. I wondered at the time, who still writes letters these days , Besides, I didn’t leave the address of the sender. Later, I gave the letter to my grandfather. Now that I think about it, maybe my grandfather’s going to Guangzhou has a lot to do with that letter.”

"Is that letter still there?" Tang Feng asked.

"Grandpa burned the letter after reading it. I asked him about the content of the letter. Grandpa only said that he wanted to be alone for a while, so I left the study. Grandpa stayed in the study for about half an hour. When he came out , he told us that he was going to Guangzhou. I said I would go with my grandfather, but my grandfather refused and said that I would be back the next day, but I didn’t expect..." Liang Yuan sobbed when she said this stand up.

"Burn? It seems that Mr. Liang didn't just go to Guangzhou to find me." Tang Feng murmured.

"The information Liang Yuan said is still very important. The purpose of Mr. Liang's trip to Guangzhou should be to obtain those archives. He only went to Tang Feng after he got those archives. We already know the rest .” Han Jiang analyzed.

"What is the value of those files in deciphering the secret of Yuchaping?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"Then we won't know until we return to Beijing." After Han Jiang finished speaking, a salty sea breeze blew from the sea. Although it was summer, the sea breeze made the three of them feel a chill.

[Section Five, Seven Top Secret Letters]

1
In a small building with an ordinary appearance in the western suburbs of Beijing, Zhao Yong led Tang Feng and Liang Yuan into a secret room with thick curtains.In the secret room, besides Han Jiang, there was also a white-haired old gentleman sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him and Liang Yuan with kind eyes.

After Tang Feng and Liang Yuan sat down, Han Jiang said: "Everyone here is my own, so I'll just say it straight. First of all, on behalf of the headquarters, I would like to thank Ms. Liang Yuan and Mr. Liang Yongquan for their precious Xixia inlaid jewels wrapped around lotus patterns." Yu Chaping, please rest assured, Ms. Liang, after this matter is over, Yu Chaping will return to Zhao in full. In addition, with the special approval of the headquarters, you are allowed to participate in our operations."

"Oh! Captain Han, is it true?" Liang Yuan couldn't believe it.

Han Jiang nodded solemnly: "Yes, Ms. Liang, you heard me right. Although you are not an official member of Old K, I already regard you as one of us."

"Hehe, Tang Feng doesn't want me to join, he is always against me!" Said, Liang Yuan glanced at Tang Feng.Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, making everyone laugh.

After laughing, Han Jiang pointed to the gray-haired old man, and said to Tang Feng and Liang Yuan: "I don't need to introduce you, the famous historian Professor Luo Zhongping. Professor Luo has devoted himself to studying the history of Xixia for many years. In [-], he went deep into the old Xixia land for investigation and research, and he is the authority of Xixia studies in our country. Tang Feng, you and Professor Luo are old acquaintances, you don’t know, Professor Luo is also a member of our old K. " Han Jiang introduced to Tang Feng road.

Tang Feng was shocked when he heard this.Luo Zhongping nodded: "Yes, I am K4. Captain Han drove the donkey to the shelf, and dragged my old bone here." After speaking, Professor Luo turned to look at Liang Yuan and said, "Yuanyuan, I I am your grandfather's friend for many years, and I am very sorry for your grandfather's death. You have to believe that Captain Han will be able to catch the murderer, and we will be able to solve the mystery shrouded in the jade screen." With tears in her eyes, Liang Yuan exerted all her strength. nodded.

At this time, Han Jiang introduced again: "Professor Luo has studied ancient and modern times. He not only has a lot of research on history and ancient philology, but also is proficient in several foreign languages. The documents you brought back have been translated by Professor Luo. Let's invite Professor Luo Explain to everyone."

Professor Luo looked at everyone present, then took out those confidential documents, and began to introduce: "The Russian files you brought back are really puzzling. These are documents with a high level of confidentiality. I don't know How did these documents flow into the country, but it is really important, and it is very helpful for us to crack the secret behind the jade screen. I have checked all the documents, most of which are some Soviet scholars’ research materials on the history of Xixia, and some general However, there is one very important document." As he spoke, Professor Luo showed everyone the top-secret KGB document.

All eyes focused on the top-secret document in the hands of Professor Luo. Professor Luo adjusted his presbyopic glasses and opened the top-secret document with three black Russian letters "КГВ" printed on the cover, "This KGB top-secret document is actually It's seven top-secret letters."

"Seven top-secret letters?" Everyone was puzzled.

Professor Luo looked solemn, and began to interpret the seven top-secret letters: "I have translated these seven letters into Chinese, let's take a look at them, and return them for safekeeping after reading them."

2
The first was in 1938, from the famous Soviet Sinologist Yi Fengge (Alexey Ivanovich Ivanov) to Beria (Lavrenti Pavlovich, then head of the Soviet secret police) Beria) letter.

Comrade Lavrenti Pavlovich:
Allow me to call you that.Regarding the accusations against me by you and your subordinates, these days, I have thought over and over in prison.For decades, whether at home or abroad, I have been doing my best to serve the country loyally, and have never done anything detrimental to the country and the people. Therefore, to you and your subordinates to me I still can't accept the accusation.

If I have done anything wrong over the years, it is that I have withheld one of my research results from you and the country.The reason why I concealed this research result from the country is because this research result shocked me. I don’t know whether to make this research result public before I draw the final conclusion!However, now I have made up my mind and decided to "confess" to you, because once I die, no one will know the results of this research, and even if I die, I will die with regret.

The result of this research is about the secrets hidden in a treasure of the Hermitage. Of course, this treasure does not come from the Winter Palace, but from the far east. More than 900 years ago, in the west of China, there was an empire established by the party members and advocating white. The Han people called this empire "Xixia", and the Mongols called this country "Tangwuti". This white empire was very prosperous in Chinese history. It lasted for a while until it was destroyed by Genghis Khan in 1227.From then on, everything about this white empire disappeared into the long yellow sand without a sound, as if there had never been such an empire in the world.

Hundreds of years later, when the world had completely forgotten the White Empire, the famous Chinese explorer Kozlov accidentally discovered an ancient Xixia city that had long been buried in yellow sand——Black City during an investigation in western China. .In this ancient city, Kozlov discovered a large number of precious cultural relics such as Xixia documents and Buddha statues. Among them, there is a very precious Xixia cultural relic, and its name is "Jewelry Inlaid Wrapping Lotus Pattern Jade Screen".This treasure has been unknown for a long time, sleeping in the cultural relics warehouse of the Winter Palace.Just like when Kozlov discovered the Black City by accident, by chance, I found this treasure that Kozlov brought back from the Black City in the Winter Palace.Over the years, I have repeatedly researched this treasure, and went to China several times for field investigations, and finally discovered that there is an amazing secret hidden behind this treasure... However, when my research was at a critical moment, I was caught You are in jail.

I am not asking you to be free, but please consider my request, and please allow me to continue my research work to bring this amazing secret to light, no matter how great my crimes may be.I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion. After all, this is beneficial to you and our country, and it can also fulfill my last wish.

A. I. Ivanov
After everyone finished reading the first letter, Professor Luo looked at everyone and said: "Yifengge is a famous Russian sinologist who has been to China many times. He once found in the Xixia documents excavated by Kozlov from Heicheng. He published a copy of "Pearls in the Palm of Pan-Han Heshi". This is a bilingual dictionary of Xixia and Chinese. It is the discovery of this dictionary that created conditions for later generations to interpret the lost Xixia characters. Fengge was the first scholar in the academic circle who could understand ancient Xixia characters. From this letter, it can be seen that Yifengge was already in prison in 1938. At that time, his research on Xixia jade screens was at a critical moment. He didn't want to give up his research, so he wrote this letter to Beria, the head of the secret police in prison, mentioning Yu Chaping and his research, and hoped to regain his freedom and continue his research."

"Then did Beria agree to his request?" Liang Yuan couldn't wait.

Professor Luo said unhurriedly: "Then we have to read the second letter."

The second letter was a reply letter from Beria to Yi Fengge half a month later, in 1938.

Alexey Ivanovich Ivanov:
I have read your letter to me, and I admire your profound knowledge, especially the so-called research on the "white empire" in ancient China.But let me tell you unequivocally that I have no interest in your research, nor do I believe our country has the slightest interest in it.The entire Soviet country is going through a vigorous movement, and your historical research is of no use to us.What we need is the future, a new future, not your distant past!Wake up, Alek, you can only get a chance of clemency if you reflect on your crimes and confess to the people, there is no other way!Don't expect to gain freedom by fabricating some bizarre oriental history!Well, that's it, I don't want to waste any more time with you and your boring research, because there is more work waiting for me.I feel the urgency of time, and you, the time left will not be too much, I hope you can take care of yourself.

la bar belia

"From the second letter, it can be seen that Beria had a high position and authority at the time, and he looked domineering. He was not interested in Yifengge's research, nor did he believe in the research results Yifengge said. He will approve him to continue the research. He even thinks that Yifengge fabricated some oriental secrets in order to survive. As for whether Beria has changed his mind in the future, and whether Yifengge has written to Beria again, we have no way of knowing. I know, because there is no information about this after that." Tang Feng said first after reading the second letter.

Professor Luo Zhongping nodded and said: "Yes, these two letters are completely in line with what I know. As far as I know, both Yi Fengge and his most proud student Nie Lishan died in the 'Great Cleansing', It was around 1938. Because of the death of Yifengge and others, the Soviet Union’s research on the Xixia Black City documents and cultural relics was shelved for a while. Immediately after the outbreak of World War II, no one studied those Xixia documents and cultural relics. I speculate The Xixia jade screen should have been lying in the cultural relics warehouse of the Winter Palace since then."

"Then why is there that joint scientific expedition team again? Someone must have started to study Xixia jade screens later." Tang Feng speculated.

Professor Luo nodded and said: "Tang Feng, you are right. Later, someone discovered this Xixia jade screen and started to study it again. This person is Meng Liev, who will become a new generation of Sinology master in the future. He was born that year. In his twenties, he was studying at Leningrad University. His teacher was Alik, a leading figure in the Sinology circle of the Soviet Union at that time. It was their discovery and hard work that led to the joint scientific expedition team. Let's continue to see Third letter."
