The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The two sides confronted each other.
The suspected Sima was so angry that he almost fainted. If it weren't for Qianqiu Ri, he would have driven the delegation out of Yangzhou.
I don’t care whether it is a treasure or not.
What good things can there be in such a small country like Jin? It is a place where even a stone can be considered a treasure.
Your Majesty is not a junk collector.
Sima was angry, but he could only touch his nose to calm down, and said in a gentle tone: "Is it possible that your people stole the treasures, especially the messenger who checked the treasures, who is very suspicious."
"Instead of conducting a thorough internal investigation, you suspected that the time we calculated was wrong. How can you slander the Taoist priests of Daliang with empty words?"
Sima's momentum was so strong that the other party could not think of anything to say for a while. Jin was a small country, and its vast territory was only the size of a state of Daliang. How could it dare to confront Daliang head-on?
This time, it was only by presenting precious treasures to the Emperor of Daliang that he was able to use the power of the Emperor of Daliang to suppress a state.
Even when the tribute treasures were lost, the governor did not step in, but only sent his deputy Sima to deal with it.
The other party did not expect that the Sima of Yangzhou would be so tough and not give them any face at all.
Now, we are in a dilemma.
Sima did not want to make things too difficult for them. The delegation was really hateful and wanted to find a Taoist priest to investigate the theft. He also invited Taoist Master Yun from Qingyun Temple, and that was fine.
He calculated that the date of the theft of the treasure was wrong, but he did not suspect that someone in his own group was playing tricks. Instead, he suspected that Master Yun's calculations were wrong. If he didn't show him a fist, he would not know whether his bones were strong enough. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
Sima Dou suspected that the theft of the treasures in Yangzhou was a trick devised by the delegation to deliberately make things difficult for them in Yangzhou. Otherwise, nothing would have happened on their journey north from Jizhou and Yizhou in the past, but the treasures were lost as soon as they arrived in Yangzhou.
If this gets out, it would mean that the morals in Yangzhou are not good, which is intolerable.
Yun Zhuliu did figure out that the lost treasure was still in Yangzhou, but he couldn't figure out the exact location, so he looked at Sima with some embarrassment.
He stood up and whispered in Sima's ear.
After Sima knew the situation, he frowned slightly. The things were still in Yangzhou, but there was no way to calculate the specific location. It was too difficult to investigate.
Taoist Master Yun is already the most accurate Taoist master in Yangzhou.
Does Master Yun still need to continue calculating who the thief is?
Just as Sima Gang thought of this, he saw Yun Zhuliu's eyes light up, as if he had seen something that surprised him.
Before he could even ask, he heard the envoy ask, "Did the Taoist priest figure out where the treasure is and who stole it?"
Yun Zhuliu frowned. He had just seen the senior and wanted to ask him for help. With the senior around, he would definitely be able to calculate it.
But before he could ask the senior, he was stopped by this person. Yun Zhuliu was not happy, but out of consideration for the relationship, he had to tell his own calculations, "In Yangzhou."
He only had a vague idea of who had stolen the thing, and it was not accurate. Therefore, he wanted to ask the senior to help catch the thief.
The man seemed to have heard something funny. He laughed softly, his shoulders shrugged, and then he said, "I thought the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple in Yangzhou was well-known and must be no ordinary person. I didn't expect that he could only calculate that he was in Yangzhou and couldn't even give a direction. How can we search for him? Do we have to search the entire Yangzhou city?"
"southeast?,
"Yun Zhuliu ignored the other party's provocation?
Tell the direction.
Southeast?_[(.)]?╬?╬??,
Got a direction?
Compared to the previous search like a headless fly, I now have a direction to put my efforts.
Without Sima's order, the waiting Yangzhou guards immediately walked out of the posthouse to seal the city gate. The people in secret also thoroughly checked the streets and alleys in the southeast direction. They all held their breath and vowed to find the thief at all costs.
Let out some good vent to vent the anger in your heart.
When the man heard Yun Zhuliu tell him the direction, his expression changed for a moment, and then became gentle again, as if he was waiting for good news. He squinted his eyes and secretly looked at Yun Zhuliu, and then winked at the others behind him.
This time they came, they decided to take Yangzhou as their route because they knew that in Daliang, there was only one famous Taoist temple, Qingyun Temple, in Yangzhou. Therefore, they used the incident of the theft of treasures to test the abilities of the Taoist priests in Daliang.
I originally thought that they were just ordinary people, and that the Taoist priests in Daliang were exaggerated and not worthy of their reputation. I didn't expect that they were really capable and lived up to their reputation.
However, although he had some abilities, they were not scared enough.
Daliang is weaker than before.
“I wonder when I can hear good news?”
The search could not be rushed, and Sima did not know when he would be able to find the person. Unless Taoist Yun could figure out who had stolen the items and where they were hiding, it would take a day or two to find the thief.
From what this person said, he wanted to give them a satisfactory answer immediately.
Sima did not give a clear answer, but changed the subject and said: "This young man seems familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere."
"Oh? Maybe you have seen my brother before. It was my brother who escorted you on the Qianqiu Day last year," the man grinned mischievously, his white teeth dazzling.
"Your brother?"
Sima was surprised and looked at the man's face carefully. When he saw that his face overlapped with that of the Crown Prince of Jin, his heart tightened and his face became tense. He bowed and said, "So it's the Crown Prince of Jin."
It's all his fault. He could have said something else, but he should have talked about her face. Now he is in a dilemma.
For the sake of face, there is always a slight difference in how a delegation from a small country is treated and how a delegation sent by a prince of a small country is treated.
No matter how small the country is, the other party is also a prince of a country.
Sima's face was as dark as if a relative had died. He looked at Yun Zhuliu with a pleading look. To send the God of Plague away, they could only rely on Taoist Yun.
Yun Zhuliu blinked. He understood what Sima's eyes wanted to convey, and silently turned his head to look in the direction of his predecessor.
The seniors are still here.
Seeing the cold face of his senior, Yun Zhuliu felt much more at ease. He walked past the person in front of him and walked towards his senior step by step.
Yun Zhuliu's behavior was naturally noticed by the people present, especially the Prince of Jin State. He watched Yun Zhuliu walk towards another man wearing a Taoist robe and with a cold face.
Is this also a Taoist priest?
According to their intelligence, there are only two famous Taoist priests in Yangzhou, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other is Yun Zhuliu's master Yuan Ming.
There are no other famous Taoist priests, so I guess they are unimportant people.
Although Prince Jin thought so, his eyes followed Yun Zhuliu and stayed in the direction of Li Lezhi.
Li Le was just happily watching the two parties arguing. As for learning Yun Zhuliu's skills, he gave up the moment Yun Zhuliu took out the tortoise shell.
He can learn tortoise shell.
It will work.
therefore?,
After Yunzhuliu starts to calculate?%?%???,
He was already enjoying the melon.
Isn't it possible to watch such a good show whenever you want?
All thanks to my apprentice.
but?,
He didn't expect that after the two sides argued for a while, Yun Zhuliu actually walked towards him.
He was surprised in his heart but didn't show it on his face.
Not wanting to confront Yun Zhuliu, he lowered his eyes and looked at the pebbles on the ground.
I kept repeating in my heart: You can’t see me, you can’t see me…
A moon-white cloth suddenly appeared in front of him, and Li Le's scalp tightened. He slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Yun Zhuliu standing in front of him. His heart was like a volcano erupting, with a "bang".
He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Yun Zhuliu nodded, his eyes bright, a smile on his lips, and cheered in his heart, "Senior, it's your turn to take action."
Yun Zhuliu: "Master Li, are you willing to help me with the calculation?"
“…”
Li Le just wanted to refuse, but under the watchful eyes of the public, the Prince of Jin was eyeing him covetously, and everyone's eyes were on him.
Li Le just straightened his back unconsciously and said calmly: "I am just a mountain trail, I can't calculate accurately."
"Master Li, you are too modest," Yun Zhuliu's face turned slightly red with excitement. The senior said so, which meant that he was ready to take action. He could see the senior calculate with his bare hands with his own eyes.
"...Okay," Li Le said under everyone's gaze, "I am a wild Taoist priest."
Although he reported today that he is not a wild Taoist priest, it does not prevent him from saying that he is a wild Taoist priest in such a big occasion. You can't blame him if he can't predict it accurately.
It's so embarrassing that it will be brought shame abroad.
"Wild Taoist priest?" Prince Jin muttered, and the people around him immediately stepped forward and whispered to him what a wild Taoist priest was.
After the prince of Jin State knew what a wild Taoist priest was, he clenched the fan in his hand and said with a fake smile: "Is there no one in Yangzhou? Why did they send a wild Taoist priest to calculate?"
Sima Ye replied with a fake smile: "The experts are among the common people."
Sima turned his head, and where Prince Jin and others could not see, he had a conflicted expression on his face, frowned, and looked at Li Lezhi who had stepped out with some worry, wondering if this Taoist could do it.
I'm not sure at all.
A little panicked.
Li Le ignored the ridicule of Prince Jin. He hid his hands in his sleeves and calculated where the treasure was.
Then he blurted out, "In the third courtyard of Xiyi Lane, the man was about to leave, planning to leave Yangzhou by water."
The specific location is given.
Everyone present was shocked for a moment.
Prince Jin's breathing stagnated and he opened his fan and fanned himself twice to ease the irritation in his heart. Although he didn't know whether the Taoist was right or not, the fact that he could tell the specific location was enough to make him upset.
Being annoyed, he didn't look happy, and snorted coldly, "Don't make it up out of thin air, it's nonsense."
Sima countered: "That's really unfortunate, there happens to be a laundry lane in Yangzhou."
"You," the prince of Jin State was speechless. Only after someone behind him pulled his sleeves twice did his expression ease. Then he said gently, "I was just eager to know the whereabouts of the treasure, but I was afraid of arresting the wrong person and wrongly accusing an innocent person."
Sima Laoshen said calmly, "Your Highness, please don't worry about it."
With the specific location, it was very quick to capture the person, especially since we knew that the person was about to leave Yangzhou by water, and the waterway in Xiyi Lane was not a port for crossing the river.
It was the moat surrounding Yangzhou City. Once one entered the moat, one would be like a flying bird. It would be harder to catch that person than to climb to the sky.
So, they rushed all the way, not daring to stop at any time, and finally caught the man when he was about to jump into the moat to escape.
Twist and send to the post station.
"Sir, the man has been caught."
The guard pushed the man in. Water was dripping from the man's hair on his forehead, just as Li Lezhi said. The man was going to escape through the moat.
When they caught this person, he almost escaped, but fortunately they pinned him down and arrested him successfully.
The captured man struggled endlessly, and after entering the posthouse, he saw all the people present and the official uniform on Sima, and realized that he could not escape.
He immediately kowtowed and confessed his guilt, saying: "Please spare my life, sir. I was blinded by greed for a moment. Please forgive me, sir, and spare my life."
Sima asked, "You are not from Yangzhou. What are you doing in Yangzhou? Are you stealing?"
