When Zhou Jin calmed down, his thinking gradually became active. Following Su Shi's train of thought, he pondered for a while and said slowly: "You mean, You Gui spread the news through carrier pigeons, and the people who got the news rushed to Guangdu immediately. Put incense in the temple, and then deliver the message to the palace through incense of different colors?"
"It should be like this. The smoke of different colors disperses into the air and can be seen by people even from a long distance. This way the message is not only fast, but also secretive."
Zhou Jin seemed a little hesitant: "Using strange-colored fireworks to convey news, aren't they afraid of arousing others' suspicion?"
“If this method were used to convey news in other places, it might arouse others’ suspicion, but the appearance of such fireworks in Guangdu Temple, a place where fireworks are perennial, will only make people feel ingenious and may not arouse suspicion. "
"What's more, this kind of strange smoke only summons people hidden in the palace to meet urgently, so it shouldn't rise often."
Zhou Jin's eyes lit up: "If there was really strange smoke rising on the day the handkerchief was stolen, then anyone who left the palace after that would be suspected."
"Let the secret guards investigate this matter secretly. Don't alert the snake." Su Shi smiled and said, "You have to put a long line to catch big fish."
Zhou Jin understood and nodded slightly: "I know." Then he asked: "What else do you want to check?"
"Help me find those people for whom Pei Xuan made fortune-tellings at Ciyun Temple."
No matter what Su Shi said, Zhou Jin would accept it unconditionally, but she was still a little curious: "Why are you looking for those people?"
Su Shi walked back and forth in the pavilion for a few steps, then stopped and looked at her: "What do you think of the prince getting a glimpse of the secret in his dream?"
Zhou Jin looked hesitant. Although her father had good words and could explain many of the prince's abnormal behaviors, and more importantly, Su Shi admitted that he had experienced it before, but this incident was too magical and she was at a loss what to do. .
Su Shi also knew that she was in trouble, so he asked again: "What do you think the secret is?"
"A revelation from heaven?"
Su Shi thought for a while and tried to explain more clearly. After a while, he asked tentatively: "If you dreamed about today's scene the night before yesterday, would it still happen last night?" angry?"
Zhou Jin replied without hesitation: "Yes."
Su Shi couldn't help but be stunned: "Yes? Why?"
Zhou Jin smiled sweetly: "Because even though I know you have your reasons for doing this, I still feel sad and angry."
Su Shi asked doubtfully: "No matter how correct this reason is, should you be angry or angry?"
Zhou Jin nodded gracefully: "Not bad."
Su Shi was stunned again, and then he realized that he seemed to have gone off topic, and said hurriedly: "The point I want to say is not whether you are angry, but what you dreamed about today the night before."
Zhou Jin was even more confused: "When I dreamed the night before yesterday, today's things have not happened yet, so how could I dream?"
"Perhaps this is the secret that the prince mentioned, that he can dream about what will happen in the future."
"Can you dream about what will happen in the future?"
"This can explain why the prince knew the date of his death, and also why he knew that Daqian was about to fall into a catastrophe. Because all of this has already happened, and he only dreamed of what had happened."
"Now it can be explained why the prince would use such an unorthodox method of business to revitalize Daqian, because he wanted to use this method of governing the country in the future to change his fate against nature."
Zhou Jin looked at him thoughtfully. Although she couldn't fully accept it, she could already initially understand what Su Shi meant.
"But what we want to discuss now is not the prince, but Pei Xun." Su Shi pondered: "I originally thought that Pei Xun's situation should be the same as the prince, but many things show that his experience is more mysterious."
"Pei Xun once said that he performed the hexagrams in Ciyun 146 times without making any mistakes. So I want to know what he calculated for others? Why are his predictions so accurate?" Su Shiren He couldn't help but sigh: "I believe even more that there must be his secret hidden in it."
Seeing that Su Shi was in such an eager mood, Zhou Jin was afraid that the higher his hopes, the greater his disappointment, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Ciyun Temple was banned by the prince brother more than ten years ago, and now it is deserted. In addition, It was more than 20 years ago that Pei Xuan started doing divination in Ciyun Temple, and it is not easy to find those people now."
Speaking of this, Zhou Jin showed a trace of worry on his face: "And now that Pei Xun's story has been spread secretly, people who have approached Pei Xun for fortune telling may not be willing to admit it in order to avoid suspicion."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Pei Xun's status must not be high when he first entered Ciyun Temple. Those dignitaries must have looked down upon him, so the people who came to him for divination must be nearby villagers. Although more than twenty years have passed, I believe You will gain something if you ask in the villages near Ciyunguan."
After thinking about it, Zhou Jin thought that what he said was reasonable and said, "I will go back to the palace in the afternoon to request the order, and then immediately ask the secret guards to start the investigation."
After the matter was explained, Su Shi should have said goodbye and left, but at this time, Su Shi showed a hint of hesitation and kept tapping the pavilion pillars with his hands, as if there was something unspeakable.
Zhou Jin felt strange and couldn't help but look at him: "Is there anything else?"
Su Shi let out a breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He looked up at Zhou Jin and said slowly, "What I want to say now is about the prince's handwriting."
"Prince's handwriting?"
Su Shi said silently: "Now it seems that what was recorded in the prince's handwriting should be the secret he glimpsed in his dream. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of leaking the secret and causing divine punishment, so the prince kept it secret."
Speaking of this matter, Zhou Jin looked extremely annoyed: "What's the use of talking about it now? The handkerchief containing the clues has been stolen. Now I'm afraid they have cracked the secret. I'm afraid the handwriting of the prince brother has been into their hearts.”
Su Shi shook his head: "Even if they know where the prince's handwriting is, I'm afraid they won't be able to get it."
Zhou Jin sighed softly: "Since the other party can steal the handkerchief from my palace, even if Hui Niang hides the book in the palace, I'm afraid they can take it away without anyone noticing."
"The prince's handwriting is not in the palace."
Zhou Jin glanced at him in confusion: "How do you know?" Suddenly his expression was shaken, and his expression became a little unbelievable: "Do you know where the prince's brother's handwriting is hidden?"
Although Su Shi didn't answer him, his expression told Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She hurriedly asked: "Where is the handwriting of the prince's brother hidden?"
"It's in the prince's coffin."
