"But he still ran away."
Soon after, Guo Feng received a reply from the person on duty outside. However, his tone did not sound regretful as he continued:
"However, since things have been hidden for so long, flaws and clues have been revealed again; it means that the other party hiding in the secret is not invulnerable, and the next thing will be easier to handle."
"In the final analysis, it's all thanks to Jiang Sheng's insight into subtle things! Those incompetent people turned over half of Zhuangzi, but they still failed to realize this important relationship that is so close at hand."
However, when it came to this, Guo Feng hesitated and asked:
"I don't know if Jiang Sheng is willing to go back to Youtufang to revisit his old place. My Xiantai is busy with things here, maybe I can help..."
"Okay, please lead the way. However, I can't guarantee that there will still be any new discoveries."
Jiang Tian nodded and thought to himself, does this pass the preliminary test? However, in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, we still cannot let others have too high psychological expectations all at once.
On the other hand, he was also particularly dissatisfied with the mastermind hiding behind the scenes; if he didn't want to use official power to dig it out and deal with it, would he have to rely on that little kindness to hide in another garden for the rest of his life?
"Of course, no matter what, I have to thank Jiang Sheng for his generous help."
Guo Feng also smiled in relief and said:
Just when Jiang Tian followed the relevant people and returned to the temporary office of Xiuzhengfang, he saw one of the two Jinwu guards who were accompanying him, the older man who had given the water bag before, walked up and whispered:
"My right Jinwu holds the halberd, Chen Wentai. I would like to thank Jiang Sheng for helping me to die for Paoze, for finding the clue again."
"If there is anything you can do to spare your efforts in the future, please send someone to the Youjie Envoy in Chang'an County and leave a message for me."
"Easy to say."
Because at this moment, he actually felt that the progress of the task had increased a little bit. Is this person, or something related to this person, also part of the clue that triggers the mission?
Not long after the group returned to Xiuzhengfang. The other one of the two Jinwu guards also told him in advance and changed into regular clothes. Then he came to the Wuhou Office and stood in front of a young official in dark green robes: He said respectfully:
"Zhonghou, after that person went there, he discovered something on the spot; he also found the real scene at that time, as well as the secret room hidden in the abandoned manor."
"So, this strange man like Du Gen and Zhang Jian in this generation is actually quite capable. He has made those people in Jingzhao Mansion and Lingwei Mansion look like nothing?"
The young official was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then said:
"Then you should continue to follow up and see what kind of clue they can dig out in the end. By then, the Xiaosansi Division specially set up by the imperial court to investigate secretly has made no progress; on the contrary, Guancheng came out to alert the snake and beat the drum. The results; it was a lot of fun.”
"Then I would like to ask the Lord, if you need it?..."
The young Jinwu guard asked meaningfully:
"Don't cause too much trouble for me, just because I get into unprovoked relations. Don't you think there's no one secretly watching over at Xiaosansi? There is Wei (Dongting) Xiantai inside, but Guo is from the same company." My dear seniors and senior brothers!”
The young official shook his head and said:
After re-registering the badge and subsequent matters, it only took a few moments to drive west from Xiuzhengfang to Youtufang. However, Guo Chongtao, who looked haggard and obviously overworked, was notified in advance and took the initiative to greet him; his voice was hoarse and tired:
"Thanks to your discovery, it has helped me a lot. Next, please continue to teach Jiang Sheng."
"This is the proper meaning,"
Jiang Tian nodded calmly and asked proactively:
"Just before going to the site to check, can you provide me with a layout drawing of the recent renovation and construction of the Youtufang?"
"Okay! Please wait a moment."
Guo Chongtao also agreed:
After all, when he invited this person out of the other garden, he just wanted to treat a dead horse as a live doctor; but he did not expect that he would actually get this surprise as soon as he took action. This also made Guo Chongtao, who had indirectly interfered with other people's powers under the pretext of investigating the case, and whose name was obviously unfair, suddenly relieved a lot of pressure.
After all, compared to Youlingwei Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion, there have been many mistakes and oversights in this case; or it can be said to be a perfunctory attitude. It immediately showed that he was dedicated to the public and did his best to be commendable. Therefore, even if the request made by the other party was obviously a bit unruly, he still agreed to it.
After all, most of the Youtufang has been burned down, especially the northern and central districts suffered heavy casualties; the few topographic maps left behind by the old days no longer have much meaning. But if something can be discovered, it will be a rare help for Guo Chongtao, who was almost driven crazy by the complicated inside story and background contained in the case.
Next, he even had time to put down his mood and accompany Jiang Tian to talk about his analysis and inference of the complicated situation in the right disciple's workshop; at the same time, he also carefully confirmed again that there might be something in the abandoned village. Every detail of its use; until Murong Wu, a subordinate, returned with a large armful of scrolls.
He glanced at Jiang Tian, who was sitting opposite him, with some surprise, and then explained softly to Guo Chongtao:
"Xantai, because there is something missing in the desk room, I went to the cabinet library to look for a spare one."
"It's just that the pavilion has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are many damages and spills due to leaks and insect infestations. I can only find these ones that are still intact."
When Guo Chongtao heard this, he parted his eyebrows slightly, and then said:
"Forget it, let everyone who has nothing to do for the time being come up to help. First find the picture scroll with the most recent age. Then mark the locations that need to be investigated for detailed inquiry."
"promise."
Murong Wu responded and exited:
Soon after, amidst the hustle and bustle of more than a dozen civil servants who had been summoned, searching around the case table one by one, the time seemed to have reached noon. The aroma of cooking was faintly heard from outside, and a lot of food boxes were picked up and carried in. But it's time for the routine lunch.
And Jiang Tian also got a piece of official official set food with the characteristics of Yushitai, which was jokingly called "Wutai Tanping Rice". Compared with the "tea soup from Taipu Temple, prescriptions from Taiyi Bureau, advocacy from Taile Bureau, and armor from Wei Weiqing" and the like, which are popular among the public, Yushitai's meals are rare and conscientious.
Even among the six departments, nine temples and five prisons in the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty, and the six armies and twelve guards of the North and South Yamen, there are only a handful of them who have unique tastes due to relatively sufficient funds. The level of corresponding cooking skills is said to be second only to those of the post-officials of the Zhongshu Men under the alias "Shuo Shu", the eunuchs of the palace, and the father-in-laws of the Gongtai Province.
This is because the public money and government money of the First and Third Courts of Yushi are not like most other yamen, where the balance of the balance is used for lending outside or for the purpose of farming or buying properties. But it is the same as those scholars who are daily responsible for the system and waiting for the imperial edict; they are all paid from the built-in large surplus treasury. Therefore, it seems that there is plenty of room for it to fall on specific people.
However, his predecessor was just an inquisitor, part-time teacher and contributor who lived in the middle and lower classes. Why did he know these allusions that clearly belonged to the system? Jiang Tian could not help but fall into some deep reflection. Could it be that his predecessor Is there actually more inside information about his background?
Therefore, thanks to the unique style, the content of this set meal is quite rich. The main dish is steamed carved glutinous rice with pickled plums and dried moss sprinkled on it; the side dish is snowflake soup with shredded wild rice scallops, and the accompanying side dishes are catfish dumplings marinated in vinegar with shredded green onions, pork liver with scallops, and duck delicacies. Braised crispy, straw-coated gourd chicken nuggets.
Although the specific portion was not very large, the taste was actually pretty good; therefore, Jiang Tian couldn't help but order another portion. Then, using the excuse of digestion, Murong Wu led him to the first possible scene. Yes, there were far more than one scene where similar tragedies occurred at that time, but three.
