Xiang Nan knew that Fukangan and Heshen had been watching him, and there must be spies outside the door at this moment.
As soon as Miss Xiangyun entered Ji Mansion, He Shen and Fu Kang'an had already received the news.
So if they don't hurry up and get the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" first, they will have time to mobilize their troops if there is a delay. If you go to pick up the manuscript at that time, you will be throwing yourself into a trap and others will get the stolen goods.
"Miss Xiangyun, can you tell Ji where "A Dream of Red Mansions" is hidden now?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Although it has been windy and rainy for a long time, I have never heard the sound of Buddhist bells." Xiang Yun said faintly.
"What a mess! If sir asks you, just say it, why bother?" Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but said angrily when she saw her hiding her head.
"Xiaoyue, don't be rude~" Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, "It turns out that the manuscript is hidden in the Brahma Temple in the west of the city! Wonderful, a book that describes the love between men and women in the world is actually hidden in a Buddhist temple that is empty of all four places. Miss Xiangyun It’s really extraordinary~”
"Mr. Ji is really smart." Xiang Yun also said in surprise. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to guess her riddle so easily. It was really amazing.
"The abbot of Brahma Temple was Mr. Xueqin's best friend during his lifetime, and he was a close friend." She explained.
"Xueqin has feelings, how can a monk be unrighteous! The abbot of Brahma Temple is really thoughtful about preserving his legacy for his close friend." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Sir, you are indeed Mr. Xueqin's close friend. It would be great if you could have known each other before your death." Xiangyun couldn't help but be moved when she saw that Xiang Nan understood Cao Xueqin so well.
"Yes, I also hate the chance to meet Mr. Xueqin." Xiang Nan sighed and said, "Okay, without further ado, Miss Xiangyun, you come with me to Gaobeidian in the east of the city. Xiaoyue, you take me with you For Miss Xiangyun’s token, go to the Brahma Temple in the west of the city to find the abbot.”
"Sir, what are you and Miss Xiangyun doing at Gaobeidian?" Du Xiaoyue asked doubtfully.
"I guess there will be people from Fu Kang'an and He Shen in front of the door at this moment. Miss Xiangyun and I will go to the east of the city to distract them. In this way, Xiaoyue, you can act calmly." Xiang Nan explained.
"Sir, you are really talented." Xiangyun said with admiration, "In that case, I will write a handwritten letter immediately and give it to Miss Xiaoyue."
…
Afterwards, Xiangyun wrote a letter and gave it to Xiaoyue, "Miss Xiaoyue, as long as you give this letter to the abbot, he will hand over the entire manuscript to you."
"Xiaoyue, after you get the manuscript, don't go to Siku Hall. Send it to Cining Palace first." Xiang Nan asked again.
"Sir, why is this?" Xiangyun and Xiaoyue both asked.
"He Shen is a very smart person. If I can think of hiding books in Siku Pavilion, he will definitely think of it too." Xiang Nan explained, "At that time, he only needs to set up an ambush in Siku Pavilion, and he can wait and catch the turtle in the urn.
So we did the opposite and sent the book to the palace. The Queen Mother is now in Tai'an, and there are only eunuchs and maids left in Cining Palace, so it is very safe to hide the book there.
After a few days, Heshen and Fukangan lost their guard. When the time comes, I will bring the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to Siku Hall. "
"Sir, you are too careful. I don't believe He Shen is that smart." Du Xiaoyue pouted. In her opinion, He Shen is just an incompetent fat man.
Xiangyun also seemed to believe it or not.
"Hey, don't underestimate Heshen. He can be the chief assistant of a military aircraft. How can he be a stupid person?" Xiang Nan reminded, "Okay, Xiaoyue, whether you believe it or not, in short, you must listen to Mr. of."
"Okay." Du Xiaoyue nodded.
"Miss Xiangyun, you and I will leave for Gaobeidian immediately." Xiang Nan then said to Xiangyun.
The two of them immediately left Ji's Mansion, hired a carriage at the carriage shop, and headed to Gaobeidian in the east of the city.
…
From the moment the two of them walked out of the house, just as Xiang Nan said, they were targeted by spies sent by Fukang'an.
Seeing that they hired a carriage to go to the east of the city, someone immediately went back to report.
When Fukang'an received the news, he immediately became energetic and ran to He Mansion to report the good news.
"My lord, Ji Xiaolan and Xiangyun went to the east of the city and hired a large carriage. It is said that they are going to Gaobeidian." He said with a smile, "In my opinion, he must have gone to pick up the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions"."
"It makes sense." He Shen nodded, otherwise why would Xiang Nan hire a car for no reason.
"Then I will immediately send troops to Gaobeidian and capture them in one fell swoop." Fukangan said immediately.
"Hey, there's no need for that. I'm sure that after Ji Xiaolan gets the manuscript back, he will hide it in the Siku Pavilion. It's just a matter of course." He Shen waved his hand and said with a smile, "I just need to take people to wait and see in the Siku Pavilion."
"Master He, how can you be so sure that Ji Xiaolan will hide the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" in Siku Hall?" Fukangan asked in confusion.
"Hey, brother, haven't you ever heard of the principle of hiding in the wilderness while hiding in the wild?" Heshen said with a smile, "The Siku library has over ten thousand books, so vast. There are several manuscripts of "Dream of Red Mansions" hidden in it. If you want to Finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ji Xiaolan is so smart, he would never have thought of this."
"Sir, you are really smart. Even Ji Xiaolan is no match for you." Fukangan said with admiration.
…
Du Xiaoyue rushed to Brahma Temple with Xiangyun's handwriting. After meeting the abbot, she explained her intention.
"Amitabha, this letter is indeed the handwriting of Miss Xiangyun. In this case, the donor, please come with me." After reading the letter, the host nodded, then took Xiaoyue to the Sutra Pavilion and handed over the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" Take it out.
Xiaoyue immediately ordered people to move it into the car and take it all the way to Cining Palace.
Because the Queen Mother doted on her and treated her like a daughter, she often sent small gadgets to the palace to honor the Queen Mother, so neither the eunuchs nor the maids suspected anything.
…
Xiang Nan and Xiang Yun went shopping to the east of the city and filled two big bags, then drove back to the city and went straight to Siku Pavilion.
As soon as we arrived at Siku Pavilion and before we even got out of the car, we saw a large group of soldiers pouring out from all directions.
"Mr. Ji, Fu has been waiting for a long time!" Fu Kang'an stepped forward and said proudly.
Xiangyun couldn't help being surprised when he saw it, and sincerely admired Xiang Nan's cleverness.
If he hadn't thought ahead and reminded Xiaoyue to send the manuscript to the palace, once it arrived at Siku Hall, it would really be like sending a sheep into the household registration.
"Oh, Mr. Fu is so free that he doesn't go to catch the rebels, but instead waits for me here. Could it be that he has something to do with Ji?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Mr. Ji, the rebels I want to catch are the rebels." Fukangan said with a smile, "The Holy One ordered me to search for the rebel book "Dream of Red Mansions". Mr. Ji, what is in your car?"
"Mr. Fu, do you suspect that I have secretly concealed a counter-proposal?" Xiang Nanyi frowned, "Mr. Fu, this crime is fatal."
"It's good if Mr. Ji knows." Fukangan sneered, "Come on, search!"
"Lord Fu, there is absolutely no objection in Ji's car. You searched my car for no reason and humiliated me. I will never let you go. I will write a letter to join in the fun!" Xiang Nan scolded.
"Okay." Fukangan said timidly. He was the emperor's favorite, so he would not be afraid of Xiang Nan.
