Chapter 108: Crack the secret letter
Zhou Ze turned to look at Lao Xu, and his reaction was a bit big, but he had no good feelings for the old Taoist Zhou Ze. From the capital to Hejiang, there would be no good things about anything related to the old Taoist.
"You know?"
Lao Xu nodded and said quickly:
"I don't think about it much, but this is an impression. Now the Tang Dynasty is the world of Taoist priests in Maoshan School. After all, the saints believe in Taoism and respect the Maoshan School He Laodao as a real person. This is somewhat similar to the national tutors of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but they did not participate in the government affairs.
The Taoist priest with blue robe and two swords on his back was a Taoist priest of Taiyi Sect. The original Taoist sect was on Dongyi Immortal Island. The Maoshan sect mainly used ghost catching, monster catching, talisman, talisman water, and alchemy. The Taiyi Sect relied on swordsmanship and was knowledgeable, and Zhu Youzhi traveled all over the world.
Because the masters and ancestors of the two branches are incompatible with water and fire, the two sects are constantly fighting and often have conflicts.
Later, the Maoshan Sect was appointed by the saints, and Taiyi Dao also abandoned the Immortal Island and there was no trace. Now it has not appeared for more than ten years. Could it be that they went to the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Xiaobai blinked, as if he was recalling the memory, and then he had a sudden realization on his face.
"I seem to have an impression. I remember that a hundred years ago, I went out to visit the tribe leader. At that time, I happened to encounter the flood of Menghe River, and countless casualties were killed or injured. It was the people of these blue-robed Taiyi Sect who distributed the soup and built a porridge shed.
I remember the patriarch said that the hands with blood stained with swords, curing diseases and saving people, and sacrificing porridge to save lives are true and good. He also told the little demons in the clan that he would not go to Dongyi in the future, even if he was killed, he would not rescue him."
“…”
Zhou Ze stared at Xiaobai.
"A hundred years ago? How old are you?"
Xiaobai was a little confused, so he raised his two fingers.
"I'm less than two hundred years old."
Old Xu coughed and glanced at Zhou Ze.
"A demon who is two hundred years old is considered an adult, which is equivalent to a woman and a hairpin. It is already extraordinary to be able to turn into a human form before the age of two hundred, and the qualifications are very different, and Xiaobai is also very different."
Xiaobai stared at Lao Xu with a warning face, and Lao Xu shut up this time.
"You have no memory, why are you talking so much nonsense? Now when you talk about Taiyi Sect, why are you talking about me?
I think Taiyi Sect is a famous sect compared to Maoshan Sect. People from Maoshan Sect either catch ghosts or monsters. They have no ability, but they are doing well with the court. They are about to put the demon hunting officer undermine the demon hunting officer."
Lao Xu shut up this time, after all, what Xiaobai is talking about is the truth.
In the memories that can be remembered, the masters make them patient. Many things are about to be finished, but the Maoshan Sect snatched the merits.
Master Zhang Tian understands, and Master He also understands, but the old emperor likes it, what can you do?
Zhou Ze shook his head and stared at the dragon order in Xiaobai's hand.
"It seems that the people of the Ying Guard are in Jingzhou. They want to kill King Ning, make the southern border turmoil, and also want to cut off the Ying family's retreat. No matter how many daughters of the Ying family are looking for this purpose.
As for who was involved in this matter and whether King Ning was operating, it is hard to say at this moment. Judging from Ying Ning's body, she has long been distorted. If such a woman is really sent to Prince Ning's Mansion, Yingde will be really tired of living.
So he was also suspicious. In Yingning's room, he kept staring at the dressing mirror and was still on guard against Ying Rui's collision. It was obvious that he knew the secret here, but why didn't these things be taken away long ago?"
Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Ze.
"Can't open!"
Zhou Ze smiled and wanted to reach out to rub Xiaobai's...
But suddenly I found out that Xiaobai is now a human being, and it seemed a bit too much to touch it like this, so I quickly withdrew my hand.
"He should have seen the mechanism open, but he doesn't know how to operate it. He should know that the wooden bracket under the bronze mirror is almost tight and there is no joint at all. In this case, if you want to destroy it, you can't find a place to start."
Old Xu held the horizontal knife and didn't know what was chewing in his mouth, so he followed him over.
"The Shadow Guard contacts others, you must know that if you leave a letter, then this person cannot survive, but it is not like them who kill people, so the disguise behind is possible."
Zhou Ze put the letter paper on the table and waved his hands at the two of them.
"I analyzed these letters, and Lao Xu went to the Jingzhou Governor's office to see if there was any information about this case, such as Ying Ning's maid, who knew her name, height, appearance characteristics, and conversation content, so we could also find this person.
Everyone in the city knew that a seventeen-year-old lady had died in Ying's family. Jingzhou Government Office would not send people over, and even if they were in the formalities, they would go."
Old Xu didn't say nonsense and left directly. Xiaobai didn't need to give instructions and went to guard Yingrui next door. Zhou Ze knew that others couldn't point it, so he opened the letter and put all the letters in front of him.
The letter that sealed Ruthy's letter was the most complicated, and it was often folded, but the rest did not have so many creases. It seemed that Yingning was also struggling.
As he looked, Zhou Ze's eyes lit up. The handwriting of Du Ruier in the letter seemed a bit restrained and not so free and easy compared to other things.
If you overlap the handwriting, you can almost match it, but it is not so smooth, similar to tracing the red.
This was not done by the same person, it was deliberately imitated. In other words, the other party did not intend to poison Yingrui, but someone used this channel to issue an order?
Seeing this, Zhou Ze felt energetic again.
If a woman is determined and devoted to completing a task with her life, or has a very high faith, the British are not worthy of this. She originally escaped from the Western Zhou Dynasty and did not have so much faith and dedication, so this can be ruled out.
Another possibility is that because of love, women can do everything, family, money, and honor for love.
Love is deep, I am afraid that it is for the sake of the man's good and I can give up my life.
Yingning should belong to the latter type, so who is this person?
A deep-seated girl comes into contact with people from the family. If you say you are in contact with the outside world, then you will only have these secret letters.
The chaotic thoughts seemed to have found some direction.
................
A creaking sound of the door opening.
Zhou Ze got up directly, his arms were already numb, Xiaobai walked in with a tray, and there was some food on it. It was already dawn, and Zhou Ze blew out the candles and stood up and moved for a while.
"Has Lao Xu not come back?"
"No."
Zhou Ze was not worried much, so he washed up and sat back at the table. Xiaobai looked at the white paper in front of Zhou Ze. It was densely packed with different combinations, and there were stacks of various arrangements.
"You have studied these letters overnight?"
Zhou Ze sighed, speechless. He used various possibilities, odd numbers, even numbers, oblique numbers, jumps, increments, and decreasing. All arrangements could not interpret other meanings, and he was a little confused.
"The rules were not found. Since we rely on these letters to convey messages, there must be content that we didn't find. Let's eat something later, and I'll think about it."
Xiaobai looked at Zhou Ze and was a little reluctant to speak. Zhou Ze took a sip of porridge and found Xiaobai's expression.
"What do you want to say, why are you stammering?"
Xiaobai pointed at the poem.
"Look at this poem,
Nine years of the Flute,
The first meeting can swallow Yunmeng Nine.
Jade carving saddles and smelting bamboo,
There is no cage in the temple and you will meet.
Isn’t it just a sentence to connect the beginning and end of each sentence? On the ninth day of the ninth month, I’m going to meet at Yuzhu Temple!”
“…”
Zhou Ze was speechless.
Grass!
It's complicated to think about it.
Not to mention, this poem can really be disassembled into eight characters, and then I quickly looked through other poems. I felt that I could not connect with the meaning before, and now I can easily solve it.
Zhou Ze took out the paper and put all the words on the paper, forming a few sentences.
The most common ones in it are Killing Ning, Yuzhu Temple and Yingzhu. Needless to say, Killing Ning is the purpose. As for Yuzhu Temple, it is the most common place to meet, and Yingzhu should be talking about Ying Decai. After all, it is mentioned that after killing Ning twice, Yingzhu was stabbed to death.
As for the date, it starts from September and lasts until the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. The seventeenth lady Ying Ning died on the tenth day of the day. She met on the first day and was killed by choking her neck.
No, it may be the night of the ninth day of the lunar month, and the person was found dead on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Zhou Ze exhaled, and it seemed that he would go to the Yuzhu Temple to see. Even if everyone was evacuated, there might be some information left here.
"Old Xu..."
When he shouted, Zhou Ze stopped. By the way, Lao Xu hasn't come back yet, could he be caught?
At this time, Xiaobai suddenly stood up and jumped directly to the door, looking alert, and a dagger fell into his palm. He glanced at Zhou Ze, and said in his mouth as he was about to jump out of the window.
Zhou Ze was stunned. He was just starting to investigate the case. Could someone be assassinated?
Just as he was thinking, Xiaobai had already opened the door and couldn't see clearly what it was, but he had already grabbed a man and the dagger landed between his neck.
Chapter completed!
