Chapter 158: Notification
wrong!
He rushed to the academy immediately after receiving the news.
At that time, Shen Li's people were still chasing after him.
When he arrived at the academy, he immediately sent someone in to get something, but something unexpected happened to his people when they entered.
Later, he sent people in again.
At that time, Shen Li had just come after him.
But it happened that at that moment, a sharp whistle came from inside.
He knew that it was Shadow's special whistle.
This is strange.
Shen Li's people have obviously come after him, so why are the people inside blowing whistles?
Shadow's whistle is not used in emergencies.
Since it was blown at that time, it was enough to prove that the people inside had encountered what he considered to be an urgent matter.
And more importantly, he didn't know that Shen Li was outside.
Why!
Shen Li didn't know why the people in the shadow took action.
He reined in his horse and stopped. In the cold wind, Prince Ning's Crown Prince sat on the horse and frowned in thought.
He came here for the painting.
Shen Li came here to chase him.
No, Shen Li might not have come here to chase him, but for the person who arrived at the academy before him.
Shen Li must have thought that he would bring danger to the people in the academy, so he couldn't wait to expose his shadow and pursue him with all his strength.
With a squeeze of his fist, the crown prince of Prince Ning's house raised a smile.
Shen Li, very good.
He turned to summon an attendant and gave him some instructions.
The attendant took the order, turned the horse's head, and rode away.
As soon as the entourage left, Prince Ning's Crown Prince took the rest of his entourage and continued straight to Daxing.
Qinghe County.
It wasn't until sunset that Shen Li came back looking exhausted.
I didn't sleep all night last night, and I had a whole day today, but until now, everything is not over yet.
The old woman making trouble in front of the Tongguoshao Gate, the unconscious strong man, Beiyan Yelu, Dou Miao, the former dean of Huaishan Academy, and Wang De, the master in the academy.
All are in his hands.
Everyone has problems.
But all the interrogations are not over, and all the confessions cannot be connected together.
He clearly knew that these people should be on the same line, but he couldn't find the key point of connection.
Just as he stepped through the door, Shen Li was about to walk towards the study when Li Yi came forward.
"Sir, Miss Zhou is waiting for you."
When Shen Li left, Zhou Qing set up a pot in Zhou Huaishan's house.
Facing the steaming hot pot and looking at Zhou Qing who was busy arranging the dishes in front of the hot pot, Shen Li felt that his brain, which was about to explode, no longer hurt so much in an instant.
At this moment, this small world is peaceful and peaceful.
Each person had a cup of green plum wine, and the three of them sat around. Zhou Qing put a plate of mutton and a plate of fish fillets into the pot.
Straight to the point, Zhou Qing said bluntly, "Today at Huaishan Academy, those people wanted to rob a painting."
Shen Li had already heard what Li Er said about this. He took a bite of meat dipped in some ingredients and said, "Those people are from Prince Ning's Crown Prince, the same ones you met in Pingzhou last time."
"That painting is a landscape painting, with mountains on both sides and a vast ocean in the middle. It was painted at sunset."
Zhou Qing described the painting and observed Shen Li's reaction.
If Shen Li knew the existence of this painting, then there was no need for her to continue telling the secret.
Shen Li ate the fish fillet with an expressionless face, showing no signs of emotional ups and downs in his heart.
Zhou Qing glanced at Zhou Huaishan and continued: "It is obviously a landscape painting, but if you put a veil on it, you will see something different."
When Zhou Qing said this, Shen Li's eating movements stopped.
He was caught off guard and looked up at Zhou Qing.
"If you look at it with a veil, that picture is just a topographic map. I don't know what the topography is, but there is a river marked on it, called Baiyu River."
Zhou Qing paused deliberately and looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li's eyes widened in vain.
Shiratama River, the river surrounding Kyoto, is also the moat of the Imperial Palace.
how come.
Shen Li's expression tightened and he put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Can you explain it more carefully?"
Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly, "That's all I'll remember."
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhou Huaishan, "Dad, what are you remembering?"
Zhou Huaishan ate the fish fillets with an uninterested expression on his face. He thought for a moment and said casually: "There seems to be a place called the Heart Palace. I just glanced at it. The scene at that time didn't scare me to death." Not bad.”
What a heart palace!
The Hall of Nourishing Heart!
Baiyu River, the Hall of Nourishing Heart!
The map Zhou Qing mentioned may be the map of the entire Kyoto, or it may be the map of the imperial palace.
Either way, this is something that shouldn't happen.
A painting that looks no different from an ordinary landscape painting contains such a secret.
Shen Li almost breathed quickly.
Through this painting, he could fully understand the turbulent waves and murderous intent behind it.
And the person who went to get this painting happened to be the Crown Prince of Prince Ning’s Mansion!
"How did you find out?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The painting hanging on the wall is nondescript. Who would hang such a painting in their house? I thought it was strange, so I took it down and looked at it. It happened that the stopper on the hanging shaft was loose, and a piece of light blue gauze fell. My father picked it up casually. Put the yarn on the painting and we can see it.”
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Go to your own academy and have a good time. Who would have thought that you almost died there!"
Zhou Qing gave Zhou Huaishan a piece of tofu as if to comfort him.
Turning to look at Shen Li, "By the way, I heard from the master of the academy that a woman originally lived in that house. That woman was a friend of Mrs. Wang. When she lived in it, Dou Miao also knew about it."
When he was in the academy, Zhou Qing told Shen Li that the oldest master in the academy with a mole at the corner of his mouth might have a problem and asked him to catch it immediately.
Hearing this, Shen Li looked at Zhou Qing.
"How do you know there is something wrong with Mrs. Wang?"
"There's something wrong with that painting, which means there's something wrong with the people living in that house. I saw a pair of clothes in that house. The clothes were almost the same as what Mrs. Wang is wearing today. I can't guarantee that there's something wrong with Mrs. Wang. But what if.”
As he said that, Zhou Qing tilted his head and smiled.
"Have you captured Mrs. Wang?"
Shen Li nodded, "He does have a problem."
As he said this, a sudden flash of lightning flashed in Shen Li's mind, and the problem he had been unable to figure out was solved at this moment.
All the problems can be connected in series.
Shen Li put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, "Master, something suddenly happened to me."
Zhou Huaishan waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, don't disturb my meal."
Shen Li cupped his fists apologetically, nodded to Zhou Qing, turned around and left.
Xiao Sha's figure disappeared into the night in an instant.
As soon as he left, Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan both relaxed their shoulders and sat down on their chairs.
They had successfully informed Shen Li about the secret of the painting.
Obviously, Shen Li also realized the pros and cons.
But it's hard to say whether Shen Li would doubt their words.
After all, that person is the leader of the shadows.
After being silent for a while, Zhou Huaishan said to Zhou Qing: "Daughter, please call Li Yi in."
