Song Siyuan looked at this text, took out the map of Chiba Island given by Zhu Fushun, and began to re-examine the map. In her opinion, since this map was left by Mr. Zhu, it must be related to Guanyin.
After flattening and spreading it, turning on the light and taking a closer look, everyone's eyes were unconsciously focused on Yugou Island on the map.
According to the plane proportions given on the map, this crescent-shaped island is at least twenty miles wide at its widest, which is almost the same size as the Junshan Peninsula. The corners of the island on both sides are like two sharp corners lying flat and irregular. The crescent moon has a narrow left corner and a wide right corner. Further to the right is Luwan Island on the back of the crescent moon.
The entire island tilts slightly to the left, with the widest corner at the top and the narrowest corner at the bottom.
"Go to the upper hook moon, go to the left ten miles, and go to the lower part of the Millennium Sophora japonica. According to the signs on the map, the left corner is at the bottom and the right corner is on the top. The upper hook moon most likely refers to the widest corner of the island. Going to the left ten miles means going left with the right corner as the point. Walk another ten miles and find a thousand-year-old locust tree, where Guan Yin is hidden."
Song Siyuan murmured to herself, picked up the wooden ruler, measured the scale, counted the length of ten miles, and placed it directly on the corner of the island on the right. After the distance was determined, the position of Guanyin became relatively clear.
She picked up the brush on the side, marked the point clearly and asked casually: "Second uncle, if we find this official silver, should we notify Inspector Luo?"
Yue Qingshan squatted on a stool, smoking a cigarette and muttered: "Daughter, they are officials and we are the people. What we want to solve is the morality of the world, and what they want to solve is the fairness of the law. This is not the same thing in the first place. This official The fact that Yin was found by us can be regarded as our own credit, there is no need to notify Luo Hengsen."
"Second uncle, I look at you, do you think you want to monopolize this official silver?"
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Lao Yue kowtowed his pipe and said, "At my age, I'm already half buried in the earth. I want to keep so much money, it must be for you two brothers. Do you think this money should be kept? "
"That's great. I heard it's at least three thousand taels, which is countless if converted into oceans."
Before he finished speaking, Yue Qingshan immediately threw his shoe over: "If you take this money, you can't expect to live in peace in this life. I say you are poor and you are still in trouble. What I mean is that every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner." , who dies because of this money, then whose money does it belong to?”
"Think about it, about 1,500 boat people lost their lives because of these 3,000 taels of silver. Since they were wrongly accused and confessed, then this money should belong to their descendants. I want to The money is given to the Golden Rat Society. They originally came here for the official silver, and it is expected that they will also take care of the boat people in the future."
"What do you think?"
Yue Qingshan looked at the people around him.
"This is three thousand taels of silver? Dad, are you not tempted?"
Yue Erpao obviously felt a little pity.
Yue Qingshan sighed and explained: "This money should be kept when I was young. I made up my mind to take it. However, when I am old, if I take this bloody silver, all the evil accumulated in half my life will be lost." No, the gain outweighs the loss. Don’t be tempted when I look at you, lest you be trapped by cause and effect for the rest of your life like your second uncle."
"Now, there are already some Golden Rats who are going on a killing spree for this money. If this money can be returned to them, it will be considered as a good deed for the people of Yueyang City."
"I think Uncle Yue is right. Forcing money will inevitably contaminate the cause and effect. It is better to return the money to the Qingchuanhui and ask them to disperse it to the boat people. It will also satisfy the morality of the world. As for the government, how can they It's their own business," Xu Xiake said.
"Brother Zhu, what do you think should be done with this money? After all, it is something that Mr. Zhu has hidden?"
Song Siyuan asked Zhu Fushun and his wife that since the official silver was robbed by their ancestors, they should also ask the rightful owner for his opinion.
"Well, how can we dare to have an opinion? The old man's original case has harmed so many people. It can be said that our old Zhu family can't bear to these boat people. We don't dare to touch this money. We gave it all, gave it all, and It can be regarded as a good deed for my old man."
There was no joy in Zhu Fushun's eyes, he only felt horrified and embarrassed. After all, it was a major official and bank case involving the previous dynasty, and it would be best if the major issues could be reduced to trivial matters and the invisible ones eliminated.
"Then let's follow the second uncle's wishes, but how do we find the Golden Rat Society?"
Song Siyuan's words are the most important issue at the moment. They know that the Golden Rat is hiding, so finding it is easier said than done.
"Don't worry, since I know it's Hua Guzi, Chen Duozi, Bai Shenque, Bai Xuanwu, and Luo Shiniang, I will definitely be able to find them. It's impossible for others to know these moves. As long as you follow these traces, you will definitely know where they are. where."
"However, it's best not to go looking for them all. If these people jump over the wall and do us harm, it will be troublesome. Just Sun Daqiao and I can go watch the tide, and you can stay at Qingtong Inn."
Yue Qingshan saw clearly that although these people were all old acquaintances, they had not seen each other for decades. They had not met each other since the dissolution of the Golden Rat Society. You want to know their current situation and temperament, even he was the same. Not knowing anything, plus the fact that the Golden Rat will become more sophisticated and vicious, it would be too risky to ask everyone to go.
"Well, let's look for information about the treasure ships of the Southern Song Dynasty. There is a section of the inscription that is vague. We have to go to other places to look. What's going on?"
Yue Qingshan nodded and said: "Sure, we happen to be divided into two groups."
Song Siyuan looked at Zhu Fushun: "Brother Zhu, do you know where the local records of Yueyang City are kept? I see that the inscription calls Qianye Island Xuanwu Island, which must have some meaning."
Ma Yanghua considered it for a moment and muttered: "Yueyang Tower, the Yueyang Tower is a thousand-year-old building. It is repaired and renovated almost every dynasty. At the same time, local chronicles near Dongting Lake are stored in it. If you want to go, you should go to Yueyang Tower to look for it."
…
The next morning it was bright and sunny.
They left Qingtong Inn. Yue Guanchao followed his second uncle and Sun Daqiao to find the Golden Rat Society, while Song Siyuan took them to Yueyang Tower to find out the truth about the Southern Song Dynasty treasure ship.
After disappearing, Yue Guanchao asked his second uncle beside him: "Second uncle, can you really find the Golden Rat Club?"
Sun Daqiao blinked his thief eyes and muttered: "Niece, how can we find it? Didn't you find it? This golden rat knows how to kill people and deliberately left a cover. How come the cover of the water bandit camp was found in your hands?" These coincidences together are not a coincidence. I guess they left the little tail deliberately so that we can find it."
While talking, the three of them took a rickshaw and rushed to Meixi Bridge Street. After getting off the rickshaw, Yue Guanchao felt more and more something was wrong: "Second uncle, you are not looking for it. You know the address directly. You even I kept it a secret? Do you know where the Golden Rat will hide?"
"Hide?"
Some people died, but not completely...
