229 Another brainstorming _1

To solve the mystery … You’ve found out?

Everyone present was overjoyed, but they also found it unbelievable. How did he do it? they clearly had no clue at all.

He had easily solved the mystery of such a headless case. Everyone had participated in the case and had a discussion about it. The same information, the same clues, everyone was confused. How could he solve it?

Was Xu ningyan really that terrifying?

Provincial governor Zhang, who had been working hard on the riddle of “lady Wen’s marriage,” trembled and broke through the seal. He grabbed Xu Qi ‘an’s arm in ecstasy. At this moment, old Zhang had lost his demeanor as a provincial governor and asked repeatedly, ”

“You’ve solved the mystery? Is it true? is it true?”

At this moment, I want to say,”I lied to you …” He would probably be beaten to death … yes. Xu Qi ‘an stood up and walked out. at least I’ve made a major breakthrough.

Under everyone’s gaze, he came to the courtyard of the courier station, took out the geomancy map from the bag hanging on the horse, returned to the hall, and spread it out on the table.

“The mystery of the word riddle is in the geomancy map.” Xu Qi ‘an pressed his hands on the map and looked up at the crowd. He explained, ”

“It’s impossible to convey information with just a jade pendant. Zhou Jing will find a way to get Madam Yingying to bring more information, but in order to keep it a secret, he used a guessing game. He had hidden it from everyone, including Yingying’s husband.

however, with layman Purple sun’s wisdom, he will definitely be able to figure out the secret of the riddle as long as he asks carefully.

“Then why is the secret of the riddle in the geomancy map?” Zhu guangxiao asked, frowning.

because the geomancy map is the easiest to get. It’s also the first time recluse Purple Sun has come to Yunzhou. He will definitely get it. Xu Qi ‘an replied.

‘That’s right, there’s a geomancy map in the relay station. It’s my first choice to get a geomancy map when I’m new here …’ Everyone came to a sudden realization.

“Let’s verify whether my reasoning is right or wrong.” Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and looked at the map,”the five words provided by the riddle are:Si. Bo. Gao. Huang. Ming.”

The crowd rushed to the table and looked at the map with him.

When this geomancy map was spread out, it almost covered the entire table, including all of White Emperor City. The streets, buildings, lakes, bridges, and government offices were all marked.

Everyone muttered those words while searching for the corresponding name.

“Siming bridge!” Song tingfeng suddenly pointed somewhere.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the spot where his finger was pointing. The outline of an arch bridge was outlined there, and the tiny words on it were:Siming bridge.

The other Gong pointed to another place, “”There’s a Huang Bo Street here.”

The two words “Sue” and “Emperor” couldn’t be found in the corresponding locations, especially the word “Emperor,” which was too taboo and couldn’t be found in the entire map.

“The clue is likely to be in one of these two locations.” Xu Qi ‘an analyzed.

“The remaining two words are useless?” Someone asked.

“The other words may be used to deceive people and to mix in water. Let’s not worry about it for now. We’ll see if we can find anything after we search these two places.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

Provincial governor Zhang selected six night watchmen to change into casual clothes and head to Huang Bo Street to investigate the situation. Xu Qi ‘an, on the other hand, brought his two good friends, Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng, to Siming bridge to investigate.

Huangbo Street was neither too far nor too close to the courier station, it was more than ten li away. The Siming bridge was more than twenty miles long.

The three of them galloped on the wide streets. The attics and courtyards along the way had obvious Southern characteristics. They had white walls and black tiles, and loquats were planted in the courtyards.

Loquats were one of the specialties of Yunzhou.

In addition, the dressing style of the common people was also very different from that of the capital. There was more freedom in dressing here, and there were minions everywhere.

In the capital, bright yellow cloth was used by the royal family, but Xu Qi ‘an saw many passers-by in Yunzhou wearing bright yellow robes.

“Although the culture is different in different places, isn’t the Imperial court’s control over Yunzhou too weak?” Xu Qian was worried.

“The weather here in Yunzhou is really uncomfortable. It’s damp and cold.” Song tingfeng frowned.

“It’s still better in our capital. It’s a little cold, but not so scary. When I was sending the traveling merchant back today, I saw a passerby shaking as he walked.” Zhu guangxiao spoke.

“You two are like the wolves in the North. You came to the South and froze like a silly Husky.” Xu Qi ‘an laughed. Of course, the Qi refining realm Warriors were not afraid of the cold or the heat. He was just joking.

…. The two of them looked at him in confusion. What was a Husky?

In fact, in this era, the winter in the South was much better than in the North. The poor people could survive the winter by collecting straw and having a shelter.

It was different in the North. Many poor people who could not afford to buy charcoal died silently in the winter.

After all, there was no central heating in the North of Da Feng.

Moreover, when they rode horses in the South during winter, snot would come out as they rode. During winter, when they rode horses in the North, their noses became useless.

They arrived at their destination half an hour later.

Siming bridge was an arch bridge with two big and two small holes on a small river. It was carved out of white jade and covered in moss.

The three of them carefully examined the bridge for a long time. Finally, Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes locked onto a protruding stone brick on the outside of the bridge.

He pinched the brick with two fingers and slowly pulled it out, pulling out the brick-sized brick bit by bit.

He reached into the brick hole and fumbled for a moment, then found a silk bag.

Sure enough, it was because of this silk bag that the stone bricks were unable to fit together.

“There’s really something!” Song tingfeng was overjoyed. He moved closer and urged, “”Open it and see what it is.”

Silent, 162. 347,4,1,2…. What did these two sets of numbers mean … ‘F * ck, Zhou Jing is really a talent …

Xu Qi ‘an opened the silk bag, and there was a note inside. He unfolded the note and saw the words:

1622

Three hundred and forty-seven four twelve

Silent, 162. 347,4,1,2…. What did these two sets of numbers mean … ‘F * ck, Zhou Jing is really a talent … It was too gaudy … Unfortunately, he was already dead … Xu Qi ‘an stared at the note and fell into silence.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao looked at each other. The former was confused.”What do you mean?”

“How would I know!” Xu Qi ‘an replied unhappily,’ we’re both night watchmen, but why is there such a big difference? Look at that spy, he’s so much stronger than you two. There’s no comparison, no comparison …”

the spies themselves are the best. They each have their own characteristics. Otherwise, how can they do the infiltration mission? ” Song tingfeng argued, ”

“We’re the night watchmen in the Yamen, and we’re only responsible for martial arts.”

Spies were talents with special skills, either meticulous or extremely intelligent, while night watchmen in the government office were only responsible for violent output. The two were different.

It was almost dusk.

Xu Qi ‘an put away the note and said helplessly, “”Let’s go back first.”

What was waiting for them was … No, what was waiting for him was another storm of brains.

…..

At the relay station.

Because uncle Huang Street was closer to the courier station, the night watchman who had gone to investigate the situation on this Street had already returned, bringing back depressing news.

“You didn’t find anything? Did you guys investigate properly?” Governor Zhang questioned.

“There are few people on that Street during the day. I asked the residents on the next street and found out that it’s a dog market. The market only opens at night, and there’s no one here at the moment.”

Tong Gong, who had gone to investigate, replied gloomily.

The street wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. What could he gain by barging in like a headless fly? He would ask everyone he met if he knew Zhou Jing and Zhou Li from the commander division.

“AI!” The night watchmen were discouraged and shook their heads.

Governor Zhang took a sip of tea and sat for a moment. He couldn’t sit still any longer and started pacing back and forth in the main hall.

There were no clues on Huang Bo Street, so they could only wait for news from Xu ningyan. If they didn’t find anything, then the case would go back to square one.

They were still in the same spot.

“There must be some gains, or else it will really become a headless case …” Governor Zhang muttered.

His mumbling entered the ears of the few silver gongs and Jiang Lu without missing a word.

“They’re back.” The gong at the door cried out in surprise.

The group of people turned their heads in unison and looked at the door, watching Xu Qi ‘an return with his two colleagues.

“How is it?” Jiang Luzhong asked hurriedly.

Governor Zhang clenched his fists under his sleeves and stared at them with anticipation and nervousness.

Xu Qi ‘an took out the note and placed it on the table. In an instant, more than ten hands reached out.

Pa!

Jiang Luzhong slapped away all the claws and snatched it over anxiously. He opened the letter and frowned again.

“What does this say?”

Alright, it wasn’t the secret code of the Yamen … Xu Qi ‘an made a judgment.

“Let me see!” Provincial governor Zhang Ran over and snatched the paper. There were two sets of numbers on the paper,

1622

Three hundred and forty-seven four twelve

Governor Zhang fell into a state of prohibition for a long time. The books of saints and sages that he had read flashed through his mind, then he ruled out the option of echoing the allusions in the books.

This was the same as “miss Wen’s marriage,” they were both topics to bully people … Just as Governor Zhang was feeling vexed, he saw Xu Qi ‘an go upstairs without a word.

“Ningyan, what are you going to do?”

Xu Qi ‘an turned around on the stairs and said listlessly, “”I’ll go back to my room and visualize. Otherwise, I feel like I’ll die at any moment. I haven’t slept for 12 days.”

“!!!”Jiang Luzhong’s eyebrows twitched fiercely.

He already knew that Xu Qi ‘an was trying to break through to the spirit-forging stage. Xu Qi’ an had asked him a similar question on the canal, “How to break through to the spirit-refinement realm.

Seeing that the dark circles under his eyes had gotten deeper by the day, Jiang Lu guessed that this kid might be trying to break through to the spirit-refinement realm, but he didn’t know how many days he had been working hard.

Twelve days, he had not broken through his limit for twelve days, and he even had a fight in the middle …

This meant that Xu Qi ‘an’s primordial spirit had great potential. If he entered the spirit-refining stage, his primordial spirit would undergo a qualitative change.

When Jiang Luzhong advanced to the spirit-refinement realm, he had to endure for 16 days, and the other gongs were about the same.

looking at this kid’s appearance, twelve days is clearly not his limit. I wonder how long he can hold on in one breath. At the thought of this, Jiang Luzhong said in a deep voice, “”Remember not to fall asleep.”

Back in his room, Xu Qi ‘an took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed. He was breathing and practicing Qi while visualizing the picture of a giant and occasionally changing to the picture of a roaring Golden Lion.

Just as she was getting into the mood, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“What’s the matter?” He opened his eyes.

“Ningyan, are you feeling better?” Governor Zhang’s voice came from the door. After getting Xu Qi ‘an’s confirmation, he immediately said,

“Come with me to the banquet and meet the officials of Yunzhou.”
