After The Empress Acended To The Throne, I Was Forcefully Made His Greatness Chapter 244

Coming to the wonton noodle shop again, Ji Lingshu looked at the boss and asked.

"Boss, you are the only one in your shop? No buddies?"

The boss was very concerned, and quickly said, "No, Caomin Noodle Restaurant is small, but there are many customers every day, so I found an apprentice, a nephew from my hometown."

Zuo Daoqi also suddenly realized, yes, Zhang Fang came to the noodle restaurant, not necessarily looking for the boss, maybe he was looking for someone in the noodle restaurant, a customer or a buddy.

"Get that guy."

"Hey." The boss nodded quickly, and then walked to the back kitchen, Xiaojizi followed.

After a while, Xiao Jizi pressed the boss out and said in a low voice, "Master, that guy ran away. I suspect that he let him go."

With his hands pressed down, the boss grinned in pain, but when he heard Xiao Jizi's words, he quickly raised his head, "Your Excellency, the noodle restaurant hasn't opened yet. He didn't come back last night. I don't know where he went. , but I know where he lives, so I'll take you there."

When everyone arrived at the place where the guy was staying, the building was already empty, but this time not only Ji Lingshu, Zuo Daoqi also found some strange numbers on the guy's window.

The same room as that house lived in, but with different numbers.

Thirteen, sixteen, twenty seven!

Zhang Fang's is thirteen, fifteen, twenty-nine!

The two numbers behind are different. What does this mark represent?

Zuo Dodge turned back to look at the owner of the noodle shop, and asked, "Where are you from, boss? Where is this guy from?"

"Caomin is from Yazhou, and the man is my distant nephew, who is also from Yazhou."

"When did the man come?"

The boss pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It seems that I have been here for about three years, but I can't remember the exact time."

Zuo Dodge asked again, "How did he find you?"

Now the boss answered quickly, obviously impressed, "His father said he was arguing all day to go to the capital, so he asked me to bring him here."

"His father? Are you familiar with his father?"

The boss quickly shook his head, "I don't know him well, his father is a capable man. He searched for immortals and visited Taoism when he was young, and he only came back five or six years ago."

Zuo Dodge lowered his head. Obviously, that guy and his father should be rebels of Taipingdao. I remember Wang Zunzhi said that Taipingdao raised troops in Yazhou in the past.

From this point of view, Zhang Fang is the shadow of Tai Ping Dao hidden in the imperial court, and it is already a certainty, but now Zhang Fang can't find anyone, and the noodle restaurant's staff is also absent...

He looked back at Ji Lingshu, "Lingshu, what do you think about these numbers?"

Changyi said, "Obviously, this is a code!"

You are reasoning with Tantai Jingxue, who doesn't know that this is a secret code.

Zuo Dodge was a little speechless.

Unexpectedly, Changyi said again, "I think these are mostly used by those rebels to mark them. Could it be books or something like that?"

Zuo Dodge's eyes lit up.

Ji Lingshu lowered her head for a long time, but when she heard Changyi's words, she shook her head slowly, "Xiao Jizi, do you remember that the innkeeper said how long hasn't Zhangfang appeared?"

Xiaojizi said quickly, "Three days!"

She nodded and asked the boss again, "You said you saw the guy yesterday?"

The boss nodded quickly, "Yes, there were a lot of people eating in the noodle restaurant yesterday, and he has been helping."

Ji Ling said calmly, "These three numbers have different meanings, and now I know the meaning of the third number."

Changyi pouted, dissatisfied with Ji Lingshu's method of overthrowing her, and said loudly, "I think it's better to find some books and periodicals, and search according to the number and page number, and we will definitely find clues!"

Ji Lingshu glanced at her, ignored her, and continued, "From the innkeeper and the noodle shop owner, the time difference between the two people's disappearance is exactly two days, and the last number on the window sill is also just two days apart. .”

"So, the last number should represent the time, that is, in another twenty-seven days, the rebels will attack."

Zuo Dodge nodded slightly, which seemed to make sense.

Although Changyi also felt that it made sense, he still said loudly, "It must be wrong, then what do you mean by the first two numbers? I think the three numbers are together!"

Ji Lingshu shook her head, "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that the third number should be a time."

Zuo Dodge stepped forward and checked carefully. According to Ji Lingshu's theory, this kind of missing a number every day will definitely make some changes to the windowsill. He wants to see if there is any trace in it.

He stretched out his hand, pinched it, the first number did not change, but the next two numbers...

Crashing, a piece of flour-like stuff fell from the window.

Then the numbers above became sixteen and fifty-one respectively!

Ji Lingshu is right, the third number is updated every day.

According to this logic, can those three numbers represent time, place, and person? Or time and something else?

So, what does the second updated number represent?

At this moment, Li Fear suddenly broke in from the outside, with a serious expression on his face, "Mansion Master, we have found Zhang Fang!"

Changyi's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"

Li Horn's expression was serious, "He is already dead."

"Dead? Where did he die? How did he die?" Ji Lingshu asked suddenly.

Facing Ji Lingshu, for some reason, Li feared that his heart always felt trembling. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "The body was found in the well in the backyard of the inn. The cause of death is still under investigation. There is a burning smell on the body, but it is not burnt." Mark of."

Zuo Dodge froze for a moment, there was a burnt smell but no trace of burnt?

Obviously, this must be a monk's method, and warriors will never have such unpredictable methods. Even if it is a top martial arts burning palm, it will burn a person's internal organs in a physical sense.

Zhang Fang is dead, and there is also his buddy Zhou Nan. He ordered, "Xiao Jizi, take someone to find Zhou Nan now, search the whole city, and see if anyone has seen him today."

Ji Ling said calmly, "Zhou Nan should not have died."

Zuo Dodge nodded, "That's right, this person was born in Lizhou, which is also the birthplace of the Taiping Road. He should have been brainwashed and learned a lot of rebellious things. It is very likely that he actually came today, but in the street saw us and ran away!"

"Then hurry up and catch him. If you catch him, you'll know where the rebels are hiding." Changyi said hastily.

Left Dodge: …

"Let's go back to the inn first, and wait for Wu Zuo's autopsy results and Shan Yang's news from the capital."

On the way back, he specifically checked the shops and residents on the streets of Ling County to see if they were numbered.

Unfortunately, after asking a few locals, the portal here is not numbered at all.

 …

Lai Ling Inn has been cleared.

In the hall, Tan Taijing stood on the second floor, looking in the direction of the door with a cold expression on his face.

Xia Xiaoyu was drinking tea, looked at her speechlessly, and said, "Jing Jing, aren't you tired of pretending? Anyway, Zuo Daoqi knows what kind of temperament you are, and he won't believe you pretending to be superior."

"I'm not pretending to show him."

"Too lazy to talk about you."

As soon as Changyi came in, he saw Tantai Jing, and immediately shouted, "Quiet!"

Just as Tantaijing was about to speak, she heard Changyi muttering, "Why is it so big again?"

She flickered, and two blushes appeared on her face. Xia Xiaoyu didn't know why, so she greeted Changyi happily, "Lingrong, are you here? Have you tried his sweet-scented osmanthus amethyst cake? It's delicious." .”

"Zuo Qianhu, Princess Xiyuan, would you like some food?"

Ji Lingshu ignored it and walked straight to Zhang Fang's room.

Changyi glanced at her back, and said quietly, "This woman has such a temperament, ignore her, let's eat."

Zuo Dodge was speechless, the two of them simply regarded this investigation as an outing, and even shared delicious food with them.

He walked to Tantaijing's side and said softly, "Jingjing, you are here, with you here, solving the case is a matter of minutes."

Tan Taijing showed embarrassment on her face, obviously she knew how much she was worth.

Of course Zuo Dodge was just joking with her, while no one was looking at her, he squeezed her hand quietly, and whispered in her ear, "Is Director Tantai here?"

Tan Taijing nodded slightly.

Zuo Dodge quickly let go of her hand, and looked around vigilantly. The grabbing hand was seen, which is amazing.

He led Tan Taijing to the backyard, where there was a corpse salvaged from the well, which seemed to belong to Zhang Fang.

Lai Ling Inn is considered to be the official inn of Ling County. It has a certain official background, so it covers a large area, and the backyard is really not small. There are three wells in a triangular distribution.

Many people had surrounded the corpse, and two plum blossoms were doing an autopsy.

Zuo Dodge stepped forward and asked, "Are you sure the deceased is Zhang Fang?"

"The body is intact and there is an official seal of Zhang Fang, so it should be certain." Mei Huasi said alone.

Another followed up, "He seems to have died from supernatural powers—Samadhi True Fire, but it doesn't seem right."

"Samadhi real fire?"

Zuo Daoqi was taken aback, Samadhi True Fire is a well-known high-grade supernatural power, people with this kind of supernatural power are not common, so he knew one, the good senior sister Jiang Liyan seems to have this supernatural power.

Could it be that Jiang Liyan killed Zhang Fang?

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

The subordinate quickly replied, "Samadhi real fire has multiple meanings. It burns the monk's mana, soul, and body separately, but on Zhang Fang's body, only the soul has been burned. It feels like someone is pretending to kill people with the real fire of Samadhi. Same."

Zuo Dodge was stunned for a moment, "Could someone want to frame Jiang Liyan?"

Could it be that Jiang Liyan has enmity with the Taipingdao people?

"Take me to the well where the body was found."

 …

Ji Lingshu carefully checked the traces left in this room, and Yin Zhenzhen was also beside him.

"Your Highness, what did you see?"

Ji Ling shook her head soothingly, "I have guessed about the third number, but the first two numbers are a bit unclear."

Yin really let out a soft voice, "Can I talk to the old man?"

"Of course." So Ji Lingshu told Yin Zhenzhen his guess.

Yin Zhenzhen nodded after listening, "Since the last number is the time, the first two probably represent places and people."

"Yin Lao is the same as Zuo Qianhu's speculation."

"Palace master thinks so too?" Yin Zhenzhen smiled slightly, as if surprised, and then said, "The second one should be a character, Zhang Fang remembers it is sixteen, the buddy remembers it is fifteen, Zhang Fang is dead, so the buddy Change the number to fifteen."

Ji Lingshu nodded, "I have guessed this, but what about the first number? When Zuo Qianhu came back, he looked at the streets in Ling County, and there was no number sign."

Yin really shook his head, "It's not a house, could it be something else? Like underground?"

Ji Lingshu frowned, suddenly saw the well outside, and hurried out, as if to find someone.

Yin really stood where he was, with a smile on his face.

 …

The man hurriedly led the way, came to the well and said, "This is the well."

The well looked the same as usual, there was no sign of burning on it, it seemed that the murder scene was not here at all.

"My lord, I've seen it before. This should not be the first scene of the murder, but the corpse was thrown into the well."

Zuo Dodge nodded, seeming to agree with this view.

Tan Taijing had been following him all the time, suddenly raised her nose, and then showed a slight doubt on her face, very reserved.

"Here, why is there the smell of a demon..."

"It seems not."

Zuo Dodge quickly asked, "Heavenly Demon?"

Tan Taijing hesitated a bit, as if she wasn't sure, she said, "I don't know, but there really is an aura similar to that of a heavenly demon."

"It seems...it seems like a nightmare!"

Zuo Dodge sized Tantai Jing up and down, wondering if he should believe the silly words in front of him, so he asked, "What is a nightmare, and how do you feel it?"

Naturally, he could also sense that aura, but in his perception, this aura was really a bit like Samadhi True Fire, but it was different.

Tan Taijing was swept by his scorching gaze, feeling uncomfortable all over her body, twisted her body, turned to Zuo Dodge sideways, and said, "The heavenly demon is good at invading monks' smallpox, and I have the last thunder method to restrain the heavenly demon, so for Things related to the breath of heavenly demons are extremely sensitive."

"The demons erode the monks, making them alienate into what the demons want. There are many monks who practice spiritual consciousness skills, and they are alienated by the nightmare demons in the demons into an invisible monster that can invade human dreams. It's a nightmare."

Listening to Tan Taijing's serious popular science, Zuo Daoqi couldn't help but look at Hanhan with admiration. It seems that Hanhan is still very useful in some aspects.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"You said that nightmares can kill people in dreams? What traces are there on the corpse?"

Tan Taijing's face remained indifferent, but she quickly gave the answer, "Although the nightmare murder is in a dream, death is real. It usually targets the soul, and rarely affects the body."

Zuo Dodge woke up suddenly.

Zhang Fang's death was killed by the nightmare. In the dream, the nightmare killed Zhang Fang with the real fire of samadhi, leaving behind a look of being burned by the real fire of samadhi.

Could it be that he really blamed Jiang Liyan?

What is there for her to be blamed by Taipingdao?

wrong! Zuo Dodge woke up suddenly.

The high-profile rebellion of Taipingdao must be confident that there is something to confuse the people. Jiang Liyan's status as a former imperial daughter obviously fits this point!

Then, there seems to be a reason to blame Jiang Liyan. These people are guarding against Jiang Liyan.

Once the proclamation is really posted, that Fang Fang is the minister who made great contributions to the rebellion. Jiang Liyan killed Zhang Fang, which is unforgivable to the rebels.

Zuo Daoqi sneered secretly in his heart, this group of people is really interesting, they are preparing for Jiang Liyan to pick peaches before the rebellion even started.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

Just after Jiang Liyan left Beijing, he met the rebellious Taipingdao. Is this a coincidence? Or...Jiang Liyan himself was at the top of the rebel army?

Tan Taijing foolishly pretended to be cold, peeking at Zuo Dodge from time to time, seeing his moody expression, looked around, approached him a little, and asked softly, "What did you think of?"

Zuo Daoqi tidied up his face and asked with a smile, "Jing Jing, how much do you know about the world of practice? Have you ever heard of Linqing Sect?"

"Linqing sect?"

Tan Taijing shook her head resolutely.

Zuo Daoqi fell silent. The Linqing Sect really hid it very deeply. Thinking about it, as a sect established by the royal family of the previous dynasty, it is a remnant of the former dynasty in the true sense, so how dare it act in a high-profile way.

At this moment, Ji Lingshu stepped out from the side with surprise on his usually calm face.

"I know what those numbers represent!"

I don't know if it's a coincidence or on purpose, but Changyi also rushed over at this time, holding Xia Xiaoyu's hand, and said anxiously, "What clue?"

Ji Lingshu was followed by Yin Zhenzhen with a mysterious face. She stepped forward quickly, and then spoke quickly.

"I just checked the traces with Yin Lao. Yin Lao speculated that the three numbers represent the location, number of people and time."

"Zhang Fang and the guy from the noodle restaurant should be in a group. There are sixteen people in this group. So after Zhang Fang died, the second number on the window of the guy's house became fifteen."

Changyi nodded when he heard it, and asked impatiently, "What about the first number?"

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The first number represents the location. During the conversation with Yin Lao just now, I happened to know that Ling County was short of water, so after Xue County Magistrate took office, he numbered and sorted the wells. "

Changyi seemed to have discovered some blind spot, and quickly interrupted her, "No, there are three wells in the Lailing Inn, why is there a shortage of water?"

Ji Lingshu clapped his hands, and Xiao Bazi walked over with the innkeeper, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, Ling County is short of water, why do you have three wells in your inn?"

Many of the people present were holding sharp knives~www.mtlnovel.com~ The shopkeeper was terrified, and said in a low voice, "This is a well with three openings..."

Zuo Dodge suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't find anything like the number before, it turned out that the number was a well!

"Xiao Jizi, take my token and go to the county government office to find the county magistrate Xue to get the number of the well in Ling County."

He looked at Ji Lingshu with a smile on his face, "It seems that the case has been clarified. The location of the No. 13 well is the hiding place of Zhang Fang and his group of rebels."

Ji Lingshu nodded lightly, "Thanks to Yin Lao's reminder."

Changyi murmured to the side, "What's the big deal, you didn't find out what others reminded you."

"Boy, the little girl in the tower has been yelling, do you want to take a look?"

A voice suddenly entered Zuo Dodge's ear, it was the Nether Serpent who hadn't spoken for a long time.

The little girl in the pagoda is only Xiaoyan'er. Could it be that the so-called primitive demon has woken up?

Zuo Daoqi's mind is divided into two uses, and his spiritual consciousness is instantly separated and enters the tower.

"You're here. For some reason, this little girl has been yelling and screaming, making me so noisy that I can't sleep."

The cathodic snake stretched out a huge snake head, and spat at Zuo Dodge.

Zuo Daoqi thanked him, and hurried over to check.

Yan'er seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, but she keeps shouting in her mouth.

"Dad, save me, Dad save me."

Zuo Dodge quickly hugged her, "Father is here, don't be afraid of Yan'er."

Yan'er persisted, still shouting.

At this time, the Nether Snake reappeared, "It's not the little girl who is shouting, but someone outside."

Zuo Daoqi heard that someone was shouting outside?

Jiang Liyan?
