Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 351
Li Canghai's heart moved, and he immediately found that the mysterious box was the most important thing.

"Sangdao prodigals are fighting with you for a box?" Li Canghai suddenly stopped and said suddenly.

This time, Lu Jitong's face suddenly changed dramatically, his pupils shrank, and his expression was extremely shocked.

Li Canghai watched it carefully, and he was even more convinced that his deduction was correct.

"It seems that my guess is not wrong." Li Canghai glanced at him lightly, and said deeply: "I am not interested in what you are fighting for, but you are acting recklessly within my jurisdiction. , I have to take care of it.”

Lu Jitong frowned, he stared at Li Canghai, and said equally seriously: "My lord, listen to my advice. This matter is definitely beyond the imagination of a county magistrate, and I will not disclose any information."

After saying this, Lu Jitong sat down very simply, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Li Canghai stared at Lu Jitong, and after a while, he said calmly, "Don't think that if you don't speak up, I won't be able to find out what happened."

As he said that, Li Canghai flicked his long sleeves, and was about to take Xue Xuan out of the cell.

At this moment, a yamen servant hurried in with a food box.

"My lord, just now a woman sent a food box and asked to give it to Lu Jitong."

Li Canghai took the food box and asked, "Where is that woman now?"

"Go back to your lord, after the woman handed over the food box to the younger one, she left the cell." The yamen servant said respectfully.

Li Canghai pondered for a moment, then asked, "What does that woman look like?"

"She's wearing a veil, so she can't see her face clearly. However, she is wearing a green dress and holds a lantern in her hand." The yamen servant thought for a while and said.

Li Canghai looked at the food box in his hand, then whispered a few words to Xue Xuan, after Xue Xuan listened, she nodded repeatedly and left the cell.

"Go down." Li Canghai opened the food box after dismissing the yamen servants.

There are several side dishes, a roast goose, and a jug of sake in the food box.

In addition, there is also a silk silk in the food box, the silk is as white as snow, with a small cherry blossom embroidered on it, exuding a faint fragrance, one can tell it is used by a woman.

Li Canghai carefully checked the food box, but there was no hidden compartment in the food box.

He picked up the silk and looked at it carefully.

He knew that there was a method circulating in the rivers and lakes that could hide handwriting.

The method is nothing more than bleaching brine sand with clean water to grind it into powder, and then writing with a clean pen and writing on white paper. It is obvious that this is calligraphy on white paper.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai took down the torch stuck on the cell wall, and then held the silk silk to look at the flame.

However, there was no handwriting on the silk, and it looked like an ordinary silk.

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai put the silk into the food box, and then brought the food box into the cell.

Lu Jitong didn't seem to expect that Li Canghai would go back and forth, he looked at Li Canghai in surprise, and then closed his eyes again.

"Lu Jitong, someone came to see you. This is food for you." Li Canghai walked into the cell, put down the food box, and said plainly.

But Lu Jitong didn't even open his eyes, like an old monk in meditation.

Li Canghai smiled, sat down casually, and said, "If you think this officer is lying to you, you will know after seeing it."

Lu Jitong frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Canghai.

"Please." Li Canghai pointed to the food box and smiled slightly.

Lu Jitong thought about it, and felt that Li Canghai didn't need to lie to him, so he simply opened the food box.

Taking out the dishes inside, Lu Jitong directly threw the food box aside.

"I've been so busy that I haven't even eaten a steamed bun. Brother Lu, don't you mind me having some?" Li Canghai said cheekily after smelling the delicious dishes.

Lu Jitong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Li Canghai to eat with him.

"You are a majestic county magistrate, but you condescend to go to the prison and eat with me, a prisoner. Aren't you afraid that you will lose your dignity?"

"Status can't fill one's stomach. Faced with such delicious food, how many ninjas are there?" Li Canghai rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, "It's so-called, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. Could it be that Brother Lu doesn't want to share these delicacies?" delicacies?"

Lu Jitong narrowed his eyes slightly, he was not a fool, so he could tell that Li Canghai did this for another purpose.

"It's a blessing for my next life to be able to eat in the prison with my lord. Since my lord has said so, how can I refuse, please." Lu Jitong said calmly.

Li Canghai chuckled, stretched out his hand and tore off a goose leg, and began to feast on it.

"Great! This roast goose is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's the best in the world! Hey, brother Lu, why don't you eat it? Are you afraid that this food is poisonous?"

Li Canghai couldn't help but praise while feasting.

Lu Jitong didn't touch those dishes, he stared at Li Canghai, and suddenly said seriously: "My lord, this food is indeed poisonous!"

Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed nonchalantly.

"Why are you laughing, my lord?" Lu Jitong frowned slightly. Most people would turn pale with fright when they heard that there was poison in the vegetables, but Li Canghai not only showed no signs of fear, but was able to laugh out loud.

Ripping off the other goose leg casually, Li Canghai said with a calm expression, "This food was given by the Dongying woman who saved you, so how can it be poisonous?"

"How did my lord know that this food was given by her? Even if it was really given by her, my lord is not worried that she will poison the food in order to kill me?" Lu Jitong asked back.

Li Canghai tore off a piece of fresh and tender meat from the goose leg, chewed it, and said, "If she wanted to kill you, she wouldn't have risked breaking into the county government office to save you. As for how did I know that the person who delivered the food was Dongying girl."

Li Canghai paused, glanced at Lu Jitong, picked up the small jug and said, "This sake is a specialty of Dongying, how could I not know it?"

Lu Jitong touched his nose in surprise, and said with a smile, "My lord is not only thoughtful, but also knowledgeable, I admire, admire."

Li Canghai chuckled in his heart, he liked to drink in his previous life, he knew Dongying's sake very well, as long as he smelled it with his nose, he could easily tell the difference.

Li Canghai patted his stomach after eating the whole roast goose like a cloud, and said calmly: "Now, it's time for you to explain."

Lu Jitong was slightly taken aback, "What does your lord want me to explain?"

"You and I are both smart people, and we both know that delivering food is fake, but delivering news is real. Although I haven't found anything like a note, I know there must be a secret way of passing information between you." Li Canghai rubbed Wiping off the grease stains at the corner of his mouth, he stared at Lu Jitong intently.
