Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 73
"I'm afraid not," Fu Yin shook his head and said, "The battalion guard, who is now called 'Guardian of the Guard', will definitely not be embroidered as 'Ba Ya La Tiao forehead real'. Moreover, the eight front panels are very old and have patterns. Strange, never like modern things!"

Feng Shen said in a daze, "Your Excellency suspects that the eight pieces of the front shield... are the old armors that have been handed down from outside the customs?"

Fu Yin nodded, and said: "Exactly. And these eight pieces of front cover must be related to a major secret of the royal family."

"This matter is no small matter," Feng Shen said anxiously, "Your Excellency should quickly draw up a Chen Zou, and go up to heaven to listen!"

Fu Yin waved his hand and said: "Nephew Xian is wrong... The book will naturally come up, but not now!"

Feng Shen was puzzled, "But why?"

Fu Yin sighed, and slowly revealed the secret.

When it comes to solving cases and investigating, Feng Shen is very familiar with it.But when it comes to the way of becoming an official, it is far inferior to Fu Yin.

As the saying goes: "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger." Whether it is the secrets of the palace or the secrets of the military, it cannot be easily contaminated.If one is not careful and gets involved in royal disputes, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe.

Before entering the customs, the Nabaya Latiao Camp, in addition to guarding the royal family, also shouldered another important task.In name, they are the personal soldiers who protect the Eight Banners Lord, but in reality, they only obey the emperor.In order to prevent the owners of each banner from supporting their own troops, the emperor gave them special powers.In case of rebellion against the banner owner, Erzhen can decide first and play later.Due to the extreme loyalty of Baya Latuo, the emperor will secretly entrust them with various secret orders for execution.Therefore, this Baya Latiao camp is also known as "Gushan Yinwei".

Since he is a hidden guard, most of the things he does are mysterious and unpredictable.After several generations, the Tianli Cult found these eight front blocks from nowhere.When the two are connected, one has to proceed with caution.Once it is not handled properly, it is inevitable to escape the responsibility.This is exactly the intention of Fu Yin's previous actions.

"Your Excellency's words are very true," Feng Shen said with shame on his face, "I'm reckless in a humble position, I don't think twice."

"It's your fault," Fu Yin sighed, "The current situation is uncertain, and it is a troubled time. To say something disrespectful, it can be described as internal and external troubles... So at this moment, if you want to investigate such a major treason case, you must Be cautious!"

"Indeed," Feng Shen said, "that day Lijiao was willing to take a risk to transport these eight front pieces. Presumably, there must be an important purpose during this. According to the bad guys, Tianlijiao is just serving people, and there are black hands behind the scenes. If you want To completely eradicate it, we must find the backer and uproot it!"

"That's right! Only in this way can we avoid future troubles forever." Fu Yin changed the subject and said, "But the villains of the law of heaven have already fled, like mud cows in the sea, and it will not be easy to arrest them..."

Feng Shen said: "My lord, don't worry. From the humble opinion, the Tianli Sect will never let it go. As long as the front is in our hands, they will definitely try their best to seize it! The most urgent thing is to find out the mystery of the front!"

After hearing this, Fu Yin took it for granted.

Therefore, Feng Shen walked to the table again, and re-examined the eight front guards.Since he found a silk handkerchief from the inlaid blue piece before, Feng Shen suspected that there were similar things in other fronts.

After obtaining the permission of the governor, Feng Shen took a paper cutter and cut a small hole in the front of the Zhenglan flag.As soon as the sip appeared, Feng Shen stretched out his fingers to pinch it.Sure enough, another plain silk handkerchief was pulled out from it.

Seeing that the inference was true, the two followed suit.After a while, he took out several silk handkerchiefs from the front cover.

There are eight silk handkerchiefs, which correspond to the number of front shackles.But the eight silk handkerchiefs are all empty, and there is no information at all.

"It's really strange," Fu Yin shook his head and sighed, "these silk handkerchiefs are supposed to be the crux of the matter, but there is neither embroidery nor ink on them...they are puzzling..."

Feng Shen thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that there is a secret method that can hide the written handwriting. When you want to read it, you only need to bake it with fire or soak it in water, and the words will appear... Don’t these silk handkerchiefs, that’s the method used?”

"Extremely possible!" Fu Yin cheered up and said happily, "You might as well give it a try!"

According to Feng Shen's words, he hurriedly fetched charcoal fire and roasted the silk handkerchief.After baking for a long time, Feng Shen's forehead was covered with hot sweat, but the silk handkerchief was still as white as ever.

Seeing that it didn't work, the two had to try it with water.After pouring a glass of water on it, the silk handkerchief was soaked through.However, there is still no trace on the wet veil!
It can't be roasted or soaked, Feng Shen and Fu Yin have no idea at all.But the only thing that is certain is: these eight silk handkerchiefs are by no means "wordless scriptures", and the secrets hidden in them must be shocking to the world, but there is no way to understand them in a short time.

It is useless to think again.The mystery of Pane has to be reserved for future reference.The two discussed a few words, and then planned the next step.

"To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it," Fu Yin said. "The first stopper was intercepted from the Tianli Sect, so they must know something about it. If they can capture those villains, they won't be able to make a few words out of it."

Feng Shen said: "Yes. They value these fronts so much, and they will definitely come back to snatch them. My lord, we might as well sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbits, and keep an eye on them secretly. Once the villains show their heads, we will catch them all!"

Fu Yin smiled wryly, and said: "I'm afraid they won't dare to come... This Shuntian government office is an important place in the capital. Those gangsters have just suffered setbacks, how can they go into danger again?"

Feng Shen said with a smile: "If this important thing exists in Shuntian Mansion, which is heavily fortified and locked, they will not dare to act rashly. But if it is put elsewhere, they will be eager to try it."

"Put it somewhere else?" Fu Yin asked puzzled, "What does my nephew mean?"

Feng Shen smiled lightly, and whispered to Fu Yin so and so.

After listening, Fu Yin finally understood Feng Shen's intention, shook his head again and again, refusing to agree: "In this way, won't my nephew be put in danger? No, absolutely no!"

Feng Shengu asked: "The humble position receives the kindness of the adults, and the salary of the food official's family. It is an inescapable responsibility in terms of love and reason. Moreover, there is still a period of grievances between the humble position and Zha Wuzuo... out of selfishness, I also ask you to help me." !"

Seeing Feng Shenshen's sincerity, Fu Yin also knew that he would not be able to hold him back, so after careful consideration, he agreed.

"Forget it," Fu Yin said with a long sigh, "it's just that this move is extremely dangerous, nephew must be careful. How about it... Then call a few gentlemen who are good at martial arts, secretly pretend to be ordinary people, and guard the inside and outside of your house day and night."

Feng Shen bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

Fu Yin waved his hand: "It should be so... But, how to get the wind into the gangster's ears?"

Feng Shendao: "The humble position has already made up its mind. This point... falls on the whole body of the servant Feng in front of me!"

As the day approached Xishan, Feng Shen carried a package under his side, and sneaked out through the back door of the government office while no one noticed...

After beating Feng Shen and returning home, he didn't go to Shuntian Mansion for several days.Two days later, the door of Feng's house slowly opened, and Feng Quan, who was looking flustered, came out.

Once on the street, Feng Quan bumped into a few familiar faces.

"Hey! Isn't this Feng Quan?" A neighbor asked Feng Quan, "Is your young master safe?"

"Alas..." Feng Quan shook his head and sighed, "It's still the same... I don't eat or drink... I'm so skinny..."

Another neighbor said again: "Don't get angry too. It must be that there are too many things in the yamen, and your body is tired... Your young master is young and strong, and he will be fine after a few more days of recuperation."

"Let me borrow your good words!" Feng Quan smiled bitterly, "Well, I still have to grab two doses of medicine, so I won't be with you for now..."

After finishing speaking, Feng Quan lifted his feet and walked away, leaving behind a hurried figure.

After Feng Quan walked away, several neighbors began to discuss:
"Huh? What happened to the Feng family?"

"Haven't you heard of it? It's been spread all over the place!"

"I just came back after leaving my in-laws. I really don't know... Shopkeeper Sun, tell me..."

"Cough...that's what happened...the young master of the Feng family handled a case a few days ago...it seems that someone is selling opium..."

"I know about this. I heard that the case is not small, and several officials were involved in the Shuntian Mansion!"

"It's probably rooted in this. After this incident, Young Master Feng stayed at home and didn't show his face. Feng Quan, on the other hand, went to medical clinics and drug stores everywhere. He said to everyone: His young master is besieged by evil spirits. Dazed, locked himself in the room, staring at a few pieces of rags all day long... The doctor did not miss it, and the soup and medicine were also fried, and even tried the folk remedies of the wandering doctor, but it still didn't work. ..."

"A rag head? What's so good about a rag head? It's likely that there are too many murder cases, and something dirty is involved..."

"It's true! Ever since Young Master Feng entered the Yamen, bloody cases have followed one after another... A while ago, a corpse was brought back, and now it's still parked in the house!"

"Master Feng is always too immature... I don't know how to avoid these things. If this continues, the Feng family... I'm afraid it will really fall apart..."

A few people were still chattering, but those words were blown into the corner wall along with the wind.

Under the wall, there was a short and fat man nestled, listening to everyone's words without saying a word.

The man was wearing a worn-out pressed-brimmed hat, and the old padded jacket on his body was also stained with oil.Judging by his appearance, he looks like a lazy and poor Libaer.Occasionally, when someone glanced at the base of the wall, he would lazily stretch his waist, dig around his body, pinch a lice and pop it casually.

How can idlers pay attention to him when they see him sloppy and have no time to hide?
Na Libaer listened for a while, then shook up his clothes and went slowly.

Leaving Feng's residence, Na Liba'er chose to walk along the road with few people.Those who circled three times and circled twice left the city.

When the gate of the city was no longer visible from a distance, Li Ba'er wiped his face with putty, revealing Tang Meng's face.

"Mr. Ge!" Tang Meng scratched his neck a few times, and hurriedly took off the cotton jacket, "There are so many fucking lice in these rags!"

After throwing away the padded jacket, Tang Meng turned to a secluded place again, pulled out the horse that had been hidden in advance, got on the saddle, and galloped southward.
