The Human Emperor

Gao Lishi!

Everything turned out to be back to him!

If he was responsible for the ancient books lost in the palace, then the Yan family fire must also be related to him.

It's just that Gao Lishi is known as an eternal emperor, why does he do this?

Wang Chong fell into a long contemplation,

"Unexpectedly, it would be Father Gao."

At this moment, a voice came from the back hall, and Xu Qiqin slowly walked up from behind, wearing a white skirt.

In the whole incident, whether it was Gao Lishi, grandpa, Yao Yao, Yan Jia, and Xu Qiqin, they all participated in it. Many things are well understood, and Wang Chong does not shy away from her.

The same is true of Zhang Tianlin's summoning this time.

"What shall we do now?"

Xu Qiqin said.

"I'm afraid I will have to find Father Gao again. No one knows this matter better than him."

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, said.

"It's useless, if Grandpa Gao is willing to say it, he will say it at the Shanshui Pavilion."

"Moreover, we may not find Father-in-law Gao."

Xu Qiqin took out a letter from Luo Xiu.

Seeing the letter, Wang Chong's brows jerked.

"call out."

Without the slightest sign, the letter flew into Wang Chong's hands like a sharp arrow.

After just one glance, Wang Chong's heart sank suddenly.

"This is the news I just received."

At the same time, Xu Qiqin's soft voice came from her ears.

"According to the news we got, Duke Gao disappeared after meeting at Shanshui Pavilion, and the person serving by the Saint Emperor was replaced by a new eunuch. At present, we are still trying our best to find Duke Gao's whereabouts."

Father Gao disappeared, the previous meeting was like a flash in the pan, and there has been no news of him since.

Without finding Father Gao, Wang Chong couldn't find out the truth of that year.

"No! There is another way. Father Gao didn't go there alone."

Wang Chong mused.

Before Zhang Tianlin left, he also provided an important piece of news. Over thirty years ago, on the day of the accident, Father Gao did not come alone.

There are at least a few eunuchs and guards beside him.

Destroying the classics in the palace is the more secret the better. Normally, Father Gao should go alone.

It's a pity that it is never so easy to destroy something in the palace.

Fire is forbidden in the palace, and burning with open flames can easily attract the attention of others. Moreover, Father Gao himself is a master of martial arts, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome. You can shake everything to pieces with qi.

But in the Cangshu Pavilion, so many pieces of paper scraps are easy to attract attention. Once Zhang Tianlin and others find an abnormality, they will probably report it on the spot. This matter will not be discovered until more than 30 years later.

"The people in the palace have a lot of mouths, and if you want to be unnoticed, the best way is to borrow them and check them out..."

Wang Chong muttered to himself.

The historical records in the palace are different from those of the Yan family. Regardless of whether the princes, generals or kings, the Yan family does not give face to them, and no one can check them.

And the ancient books in the palace, although it is difficult for ordinary people to look up, they can be consulted after all, they just need to be registered one by one.

As Father Gao, it was normal to take someone to borrow and view the classics in the palace.

"As long as you find those who followed Father Gao, you will naturally know the whereabouts of those classics."

Wang Chong secretly said.

There is no open flame in the palace, and the method of using gong gas cannot be completely destroyed. It will only leave a large amount of debris that is suspicious. Therefore, even if Duke Gao wants to destroy the classics, it is not easy and the options are very limited.

Since Grandpa Gao did this, he won't leave too many handles, just sparse a hundred secrets, as long as he deliberately looks for it, he can always find flaws.

...

Three days later.

The weather was gloomy, and Wang Chong showed up in front of a private house with only a few people from Xu Qiqin.

"Zhou Mansion!"

Wang Chong raised his head, looked at the somewhat decayed plaque in front of him, and read the two words.

There is a very old house in front of you, dark and dilapidated, but judging from its scale, you can still see the prosperity of the year.

Among the capitals, the population is large, and the population flow is also unusually frequent. Among them are many wealthy businessmen. Some of them have changed their homes and left Beijing before they can handle them, while others have soared and changed their residences. , The original old mansion, naturally it is difficult to enter their eyes.

For various reasons, these houses were left vacant for a long time, and then slowly abandoned, just like the Zhou Mansion in front of them.

In the entire Jingshi, there are many mansions like this, most of which are just empty shells, which are actually very simple.

"Oh, I'm going to buy steamed buns to eat."

When everyone was looking at the mansion, suddenly the door opened. An eight or nine-year-old child, holding a small paper windmill in his hand, bounced out of the house. He still held it in the other hand. With a few copper plates, passing by everyone, it quickly disappeared.

A group of people looked surprised, their eyes followed the child away.

"I'll go in first, you are waiting here, Qiqin will follow me."

Wang Chong then spoke.

"No, I will be with them, waiting for you here."

Unexpectedly, Xu Qiqin was in the rear, standing with everyone, smiling softly and refused.

"it is good!"

Wang Chong was stunned, and quickly reacted, understood something, crossed the threshold, and walked in.

From behind, Xu Qiqin kept watching Wang Chong disappear inside, with a faint smile on her mouth.

The investigation has reached the final step, and the whole thing has finally approached the core of the matter. Holy Emperor, Gao Gonggong, Jiugong, Yao Xiang, Yan Family...All these people are high-ranking and belong to the highest level of the entire empire. They are entangled together because of the same thing.

For some things, she can assist Wang Chong to help him find the answers he wants, but in the end, when the answers are really revealed, only one person is enough.

She just needs to watch silently from the side and assist her from the side.

A woman always knows when to do it and when to stop!

...

The lighting in the mansion is not very good. Although it is daytime, it is also dim. Besides, the whole house is also very humid. As far as Wang Chong's eyes can be, in the corners of the room, he even saw some sparse Green moss.

This can also explain why the original owner abandoned it.

"I don't know which adult in the palace is coming here, the old man has some inconvenience in his legs and feet, please forgive me for not being able to welcome it!"

Before Wang Chong could walk in, an old voice came from the front.

Wang Chong walked along with the sound. In a house inside, Wang Chong saw the person who was speaking.

This is an old man in his seventies. Although he is in this dark, dilapidated and somewhat damp house, the old man is clean and tidy, and the long hair on his head is also meticulously combed.

His back is straight, and he has an attitude that ordinary old people don't have, and it seems incompatible with the environment here.

But when Wang Chong touched his eye sockets, his heart jumped.

In the old man's eyes, there were two huge holes where the eyes should have been, and they looked shocking.

This is an old man with eyesight, he can't see anything!

But just for a moment, Wang Chong came back to his senses.

Wang Chong glanced at the black shirt on his body, and a thought flashed across his mind.

The single clothes on the stunned old man looked inconspicuous at first glance, but there were some special gold threads on the edges of his sleeves.

This kind of clothes can only be worn by people in the palace.

"How do you know that I am in the palace?"

Wang Chongran stopped and said.

This old man feels very peculiar. His expression and tone are completely different from those of ordinary people. Moreover, Wang Chong has reduced his aura, and the other party's eyes are already staring. It is reasonable to not see himself at all, but he can guess. Two words to the palace.

"Hehe, the old man is blind, but his heart is not blind. Ordinary people do not walk like adults, without making a sound. The old man used to work in the palace before. Only those high-ranking adults have similar footsteps to adults. But the status of adults is higher than any of them."

The old man with eyesight opened his mouth and said calmly, giving people a feeling of seeing everything through.

"At Xia Wang Chong, I came for something that happened thirty years ago!"

Wang Chong didn't hide his identity, he spoke directly.

"Is it the King of Foreign Land?!"

Hearing Wang Chong's name, there was a look of shock in the eyes of the old man. Although it was a question, he seemed to have confirmed Wang Chong's identity:

"It's really unexpected that the King of Foreign Lands in Lingyan Pavilion will come here and arrive at the humble house. It is a great honor for the old man, it is really brilliant!"

"The old man used to work as an errand in the Palace of Mercy?"

Wang Chong said.

"Yes! The old man has nothing to do, he can only do some corners in the palace, not very important, and there is no work that people pay attention to!"

The squinting old man smiled slightly and confessed.

"In the entire Datang Empire, the people responsible for burning all the kings, prime ministers, civil and military officials, and daily talks about memorials and classics are not unimportant people, nor can anyone do it!"

Wang Chong said solemnly.

According to Zhang Tianlin’s clues, he also searched for those people who entered the library together with Gao Lishi. Wang Chong did not expect that he finally grasped the top secrets of the entire Datang Empire, and the secrets of the holy emperor’s eighteen years before his ascension was actually in front of him. This silly old man who doesn't look amazing.

Gao Lishi did not destroy those books, nor did he burn them privately. Instead, he brought the books from these palaces to the Hall of Mercy on a dark night, in the most open and upright way. Burn them completely.

All those palace books were mixed in those memorials and burned in the same way.

There can be no open flames in the palace. As long as there is a wisp of blue smoke, it will immediately attract the attention of the patrolling guards. However, the Temple of Mercy is different. There was originally a place where memorials were burned. Even the big fireworks would not be noticeable.
