Chapter 191: Re-entering the Tiger's Den
"According to the records in the book, Xu Fu traveled east to Japan, and Han finally went to Sanhan."
"So what? These are just speculations from later generations and have no evidence." An Wensheng reads classics and history well and sneers at the statement in "The First Emperor's Tribunal": "It's all far-fetched and cannot be regarded as historical facts."
"Hey, I said Lao An, you are really..." Su Dawei shook his head. Compared with the contemplation of people's hearts, he was not as good as Gao Dalong; compared with the understanding of ancient books, classics and history, he was definitely not as good as An Wensheng.
However, he has one of the biggest advantages.
Know the general trend of history.
For example, Xu Fu's whereabouts back then have been verified countless times in later generations. The more credible one was that he landed on the Japanese archipelago.
Of course, there are also sayings that Xu Fu actually went to Sanhan, but this statement is relatively less likely.
"Bold assumptions and be careful to prove them. If you want to solve the case, you have to think more about it."
Su Dawei picked up the wine pot and poured wine for An Wensheng and Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang smiled and said, "Ship An, don't read Ami usually doesn't read much, but she has many wonderful ideas. Like the public transportation office I work in now and the toothbrush at home, many of them are designed by Ami."
An Wensheng grabbed the wine glass and touched it lightly on his lips: "Tell me the point, what did you see from the book?"
"I remember you mentioned to me last time that there is a record in this book that is very interesting... Han Zhong left behind only one key to open Lan Chi, but Han finally got along with Xu Fu. When Xu Fu took the boy and girl to sea to find Penglai Fairy Mountain, Han finally told Xu Fu the secret of Lan Chi?"
An Wensheng's eyes flashed: "Speak."
"Suppose, what is recorded in this book true? Xu Fu really knew the secret of opening Lan Chi Palace and brought this secret to Japan. Finally, Han went to sea to Sanhan."
Su Dawei turned the wine glass and watched the wine in the glass shaking, he said slowly: "Last time, I had pretended to be Deng Jian and had contacted the Silla delegation. Their envoy Jin Famin revealed something to me, and opened the key to Lan Chi, which was in Deng Jian's hands."
He raised his head and glanced at An Wensheng: "Deng Jian is a spy from Goguryeo."
An Wensheng was finally moved: "Then, what was mentioned in that book is probably true. Han Zhong and Xu Fu took the method of opening Lan Chi to Japan and Sanhan respectively."
"In this way, many things make sense. Why did the Japanese appear in the Tang Dynasty and try to assassinate me? There are also the Goguryeo ghost soldiers I met as a bad person before... Now think about it, it is actually quite similar to the legend of the Immortal Jin people in the First Emperor."
"Why did Jin Dexiu die? And Xi Xiufang's death, what's going on?" An Wensheng asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know." Su Dawei spread his hands straightforwardly: "There are still many details that are unclear, but generally, I think my inference is correct."
An Wensheng was speechless for a moment.
He picked up the wine glass and put it down, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought it was a mistake. You are right. This case has been roughly clear now. The remaining details can be considered slowly."
After a pause, he continued, "So, what are you going to do next? What can I help?"
Su Dawei was silent for a moment and said, "Lao An, what do you think is the biggest difficulty of this case?"
An Wensheng thought for a while and said, "There are too many other countries involved."
"That's right, Silla missions, Baekje, Goguryeo, these are all three Koreans, not our Tang people, Silla has also been kind to the Tang Dynasty in recent years. If there was no solid evidence, it would probably be impossible to convict them. What's more..."
Su Dawei turned his wine glass: "Even if I have evidence in my hand, I may not be able to do anything."
An Wensheng nodded and said meaningfully: "** has just succeeded to the throne and now he needs to appease the inside and outside. Even if he really has evidence of the Silla mission's intent, the court probably won't be too much."
"So, what exactly is our case investigating? Are we going to reveal the truth?"
Su Dawei smiled: "In my opinion, it is to make them unable to do things and not get what they want. I will submit the evidence to Dali Temple and let Li Siwen and the others have a headache."
“This is pretty good.”
An Wensheng glanced at Zhou Liang, then turned to Su Dawei and said, "This time something big happened in the county government will have a great impact on Peixianjun. If you handle the case beautifully, I believe that the county government can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Then the question is, how do I collect evidence and thwart the conspiracy of these people?"
Su Dawei spread his hands.
What he faced was not alone, but Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, Japan, and even people from the Bafu and the Wuwang Mansion.
The only force Su Dawei could mobilize was bad people and limited support from the county Jun and Dali Temple.
All because the superiors do not want to complicate things at this time, and they are even more reluctant to make things public.
An Wensheng pondered and tapped his fingers on the table: "You shouldn't be thinking..."
"I just thought that now that Cai Mang has been removed by Gao Dalong, I may be able to dress up as Cai Mang again, mix into the Ba Mansion and get things from it."
Zhou Liang was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand was knocked over with a "clang".
While he was busy cleaning up, he snorted: "Ami, you... are so dangerous!"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"
Su Dawei poured the wine again for Zhou Liang, and then said, "Although the case is clear now, my mission has not been completed. We must defeat them in searching for Lan Chi, and... the revenge of the kidnapped son."
He also promised Mr. Li to help the Taishi Bureau keep Daochen.
In fact, except for the Silla delegation that established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, Su Dawei felt that there was no need to stay among the Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japanese people.
But to do all this,
With his current resources, it is only possible to pretend to be Cai Mang and lurk in the Ba Mansion.
An Wensheng pondered aside and said, "Now the case has cleared a little fog, but it has not cleared the clouds yet. If you are sure, disguising yourself as Cai Mang is a good way, but..."
He shook his head and said, "The risk is still too high. After all, you only played Deng Jian last time, the Silla Mission and Goguryeo should have been prepared."
"The people from Sanhan are wary, but I don't expect them to know about this matter yet, and I still have a chance."
Su Dawei reached out and signaled An Wensheng not to speak first: "And I also thought of a way to let you and the Lion cooperate with me to perform a play."
"acting?"
An Wensheng looked surprised.
Zhou Liang advised with great thought: "Ami, after this case is investigated here, report it to the county magistrate. Why bother so deeply? Miss Liu and your family are worried. What if something happens to you, what should they do?"
"Second brother, drink." Su Dawei raised his glass and touched Zhou Liang with helpless look on his face: "At the house, please help me comfort you."
"Ami, you were so anxious that you fell into a coma last time. You..."
"Second brother, I have decided."
Su Dawei drank the wine in the glass in one go.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He promised Nan Jiuro that he would avenge his kidnapped son and had to give his brothers an explanation.
What's more, if enemies like Deng Jian are not removed, they will not be at ease.
"It's still too dangerous!"
An Wensheng picked up a green bean and threw it into his mouth, chewed it carefully for a few times, shook his head and said, "Pretending to be the master of the three palaces of the Ba Mansion, are you familiar with Cai Mang? Can you imitate his talk and walking posture? Besides, there are things that outsiders don't know at all, and if you don't pay attention, you will reveal your feet.
Besides, Deng Jian, the people from Silla Mission and Baekje are not simple characters, I’m afraid…”
"The more people, the more complex the ingredients, the easier it is to get into it. Besides, I have no other good idea except this."
Su Dawei smiled bitterly.
If there is a good idea, who is willing to take this dangerous move?
“Ami~”
A familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the window.
Su Dawei and An Wensheng, Zhou Liang turned his head and looked out, and saw a badger beast with a body less than one meter long and about forty centimeters high. Its white-headed and gray-backed hair exposed its head from outside the door. Its fur was loose and rough, its body was thick, its head was wide, its small eyes, its ears were not visible, and it had a flat and blunt nose.
Looking at the three people in the room, the guy let out a deep roar.
"Black-headed squid?"
Needless to say, it is Su Qingyue coming.
Hanyuan, Ganye Temple.
The light of dawn shines from the east.
Mingkong is as usual. After getting up early in the morning, he first washes and cleanses, and then recites scriptures in the Buddhist temple.
After a whole set of busyness, she wiped off the sweat from her forehead and greeted the eunuch who was cleaning the courtyard, saying, "Wang Fu, come here."
"Come."
Wang Fulai quickly put down the broom in his hand and hurried over.
"What are the instructions of the mage?"
"Did you bring my words last time?" Ming Kong twisted a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyes calm.
The sun shone on her smooth forehead, with a slight sweat beads.
But this did not damage her beauty, but instead had a particularly friendly taste.
"Go back to Master, I brought everything you said to the Buddhist scriptures last time." Wang Fu looked at Master Mingkong and then said, "The Master said that although there is a bit evil in that house, he is not afraid of evil in his body. As long as he recites Buddhist scriptures diligently, he will naturally be fine."
Mingkong nodded with satisfaction: "I still have some Buddhist scriptures here, which I copied in recent days. When you have time to leave the palace, you will send them to Ami's house."
"promise."
Wang Fulai nodded and responded, but he remembered a rumor in his heart.
It seems that Master Mingkong still has a family in his family, and it seems that he has a sister or...
However, the mage never mentioned them, but was very close to the Su family.
From this point of view, the Su family, a foreign surname, has a closer relationship with the mage.
Wang Fulai pressed these thoughts down and took the Buddhist scriptures given to him by Mingkong. As soon as he walked out of the Buddhist temple, he suddenly saw a group of people walking into the courtyard.
The eunuch who led the way had already raised his throat and said, "The Queen is here."
Ah, Queen!
Wang Fu was shocked and felt his knees weak in an instant.
Seeing the eunuchs and palace maids in front of him surrounded by a dignified beauty, she didn't even have time to think about it, and she immediately knelt down the steps with a "pop".
"See the Queen."
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to such an ordinary eunuch.
The group was lined up on both sides, and only Queen Wang walked into the Buddhist temple accompanied by a personal eunuch and two palace maids.
"Are you Master Mingkong?"
Queen Wang looked at Mingkong in front of her with her eyes, and a smile arose on the corner of her mouth.
"What a sign of a person, I feel pity for you."
Mingkong was shocked, but his face looked as usual. He put his hands on Queen Wang and lowered his head slightly and said, "A monk doesn't want to see Queen Tianyan in person."
“Men…”
Queen Wang turned around Ming Ilv, her eyes flashing: "It would be a pity if a person like a wizard has been a monk."
"What does the Queen mean?"
Mingkong became more and more surprised.
