Chapter 1956 The Blind Old Man!

Gao Lishi!

Everything came back to him!

If the lost classics in the palace were his fault, then the fire in the Yan family must also be related to him.

It’s just that Gao Lishi is known as a wise man through the ages, why would he do this?

Wang Chong fell into deep thought for a long time.

"I never thought it would be Eunuch Gao."

At this moment, a voice came from the back hall. Xu Qiqin, dressed in a white dress, slowly walked up from the back.

The entire incident, whether it was Gao Lishi, Grandpa, Mr. Yao, the Yan family, or Xu Qiqin, were all involved in it. They knew many things, and Wang Chong did not shy away from her.

The same goes for summoning Zhang Tianlin this time.

"What do we do now?"

Xu Qiqin said.

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

Wang Chong was silent for a moment and said.

"It's useless. If Eunuch Gao wanted to say it, he would have said it when we were at Shanshui Pavilion."

"Besides, we may not be able to find Eunuch Gao."

Xu Qiqin took out a letter from Luo Xiu.

When Wang Chong saw the letter, his brows jumped sharply.

"call out."

Without any warning, the letter flew into Wang Chong's hand like a sharp arrow.

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

"This is the news I just received."

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

"According to the information we have received, Eunuch Gao disappeared after meeting at Shanshui Pavilion. The person serving the Holy Emperor has been replaced by a new eunuch. Currently, we are still trying our best to find Eunuch Gao's whereabouts."

Eunuch Gao disappeared, the previous court meeting was like a flash in the pan, and there was no news about him again.

Since Eunuch Gao could not be found, Wang Chong had no way of finding out the truth about that year.

"No! There is another way. Eunuch Gao didn't go alone back then."

Wang Chong said thoughtfully.

Before Zhang Tianlin left, he also provided an important piece of news. On the day of the accident more than thirty years ago, Eunuch Gao did not come alone.

There were at least a few eunuchs and guards around him.

It is better to destroy the ancient books in the palace as secretly as possible. Under normal circumstances, Eunuch Gao should go alone.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy to destroy something in the palace.

Fire is prohibited in the palace. Open fires can easily attract the attention of others, and Eunuch Gao himself is a master of martial arts. There is no need for such trouble. He can shatter everything with just Gang Qi.

But in the library, so many scraps of paper can easily attract attention. Once Zhang Tianlin and others find something abnormal, they will probably report it on the spot, and this matter will not be discovered until more than thirty years later.

"People in the palace are talkative. If you want to avoid being noticed, the best way is to check out the classics on the pretext of borrowing them..."

Wang Chong murmured to himself.

The historical records in the palace are different from those of the Yan family. The Yan family will not give face to the records of the Yan family, regardless of whether they are princes, generals or kings.

No one can view it.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people to consult the ancient books in the palace, they can be consulted after all. They just need to register them one by one.

As Eunuch Gao, it was normal for him to take people to borrow and check the palace's ancient books.

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

Wang Chong said secretly.

There is no open fire in the palace, and the method of using Gang Qi cannot completely destroy it. It will only leave a lot of debris to arouse suspicion. Therefore, even if Eunuch Gao wants to destroy those classics, it will not be easy, and the options are very limited.

Since Eunuch Gao has done this, he won't leave too many clues. It's just a secret. As long as you look for it carefully, you can always find a flaw.

…

Three days later.

The weather was gloomy, and Wang Chong, along with only Xu Qiqin and a few others, appeared in front of a private house.

"Zhou Mansion!"

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

In front of you is a very old house, dark and dilapidated, but judging from its size, you can still see how prosperous it was back then.

The capital has a large population and extremely frequent population movements. Among them are many prosperous businessmen with rich fortunes. Some of them had big changes in their families and left the capital in a hurry without having time to deal with them. Others had a huge increase in wealth and changed their residences. , the original old mansion is naturally difficult for them to detect.

Due to various reasons, these houses have been vacant for a long time and have gradually become abandoned, just like the Zhou Mansion in front of them.

There are many mansions like this in the entire capital, and most of them are just empty shells, which are actually very simple inside.

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

Just when everyone was looking at the mansion, suddenly, the door opened, and a child of eight or nine years old jumped out with a small windmill made of paper in his hand. He also held a small windmill in his other hand. Holding a few copper coins, passing by everyone, they quickly disappeared.

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

"I'll go in first, you guys wait here, Qiqin follow me."

Wang Chong suddenly spoke.

"No, I'll be with them and wait for you here."

Unexpectedly, Xu Qiqin was at the back, standing with everyone, Ruan Yan refused with a smile.

"good!"

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening, crossed the threshold, and walked in.

Behind, Xu Qiqin watched Wang Chong disappear inside, with a faint smile on her lips.

The investigation has reached the final step, and the whole matter is finally close to the core of the matter. The Holy Emperor, Eunuch Gao, Jiu Gong, Yao Xiang, the old man of the Yan family... all of these people have high positions and belong to the highest level of the entire empire, and They were entangled over the same thing.

In some matters, she could assist Wang Chong and help him find the answer he wanted, but in the end, when the answer was truly revealed, only one person was needed.

She just needs to watch silently and help from the side.

A woman always needs to know when to do it and when to stop!

…

The lighting in the mansion was not very good. Even though it was daytime, it was dim inside. In addition, the entire mansion was also very humid. Where Wang Chong looked, he even saw some sparse flowers in the corners of the room. Green moss.

This may also explain why the original owner abandoned it.

"I don't know which of the ladies in the palace is coming to visit. I have some inconvenience on my legs and feet. I apologize for not being able to welcome him from far away!"

Before Wang Chong walked in, an old voice immediately came from the front.

Wang Chong followed the sound and walked towards it. In a house inside, Wang Chong saw the person who spoke.

This is an old man who is over seventy years old. Although he is in this dark, dilapidated and somewhat damp house, the old man is tidy and the long hair on his head is combed meticulously.

His back was straight, and he had an air of grace that ordinary old people didn't have. He looked out of place in the environment here.

But when Wang Chong touched his eye sockets, his heart skipped a beat.

In the old man's eye sockets, where the eyes should have been, there were two huge empty holes, which looked shocking.

This is a blind old man, he can't see anything!

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

Wang Chong glanced at the black singlet he was wearing, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

The single clothes on the blind old man looked unremarkable at first glance, but there were clearly some special golden threads on the edges of his sleeves.

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

"How do you know I'm from the palace?"

Wang Chong suddenly stopped and said.

This old man gave people a very strange feeling. His expression, demeanor and tone were completely different from ordinary people. Moreover, Wang Chong had already restrained his aura, and the other party was blind. Logically speaking, he could not see him at all, but he could guess To the palace is two words.

"Haha, I am blind in my eyes, but my heart is not blind. Ordinary people do not walk like adults, and there is no sound. I used to be a servant in the palace. Only those adults with high status have some similarities with the adults. But your status is higher than any of them."

The blind old man spoke with a calm expression on his face, giving people the feeling of seeing through everything.

"I, Wang Chong, are here for an incident that happened thirty years ago!"

Wang Chong did not hide his identity and spoke directly.

"Is he the King of Foreign Lands?!"

Hearing Wang Chong's name, the blind old man had a look of shock in his eyes. Although he was asking, he seemed to have confirmed Wang Chong's identity:

"I really didn't expect that the king of the foreign land in Lingyan Pavilion would actually come to visit me. When I arrived at my humble abode, I felt so honored. It was so glorious!"

"The old man used to work as an errand in the Cide Palace in the palace?"

Wang Chong said.

"Yes! I don't have much ability. I can only do some trivial work in the palace. It's not very important and no one pays attention to it!"

The blind old man smiled slightly and admitted generously.

"The entire Tang Empire is responsible for burning all the kings, prime ministers, civil and military officials, and those who talk about memorials and classics every day. This is not an unimportant person, and not everyone can do it!"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

Based on Zhang Tianlin's clues, he also searched for the people around Gao Lishi who entered the library together. Wang Chong did not expect that the person who finally mastered the top secret of the entire Tang Empire, the secret of the Holy Emperor eighteen years before he ascended the throne, was actually right in front of him. This blind old man doesn't look amazing.

Gao Lishi did not destroy those classics, nor did he burn them privately. Instead, he brought these palace classics to the Ci De Hall in an upright and fair way on a dark and deserted night. way to burn them completely.

All the palace records were mixed in with the memorials and burned in the same way.

No open flames can appear in the palace. As long as there is a wisp of green smoke, it will immediately attract the attention of the patrolling guards. However, Cide Palace is different. It is the place where memorials are burned. No matter how big the fireworks are, they will not attract attention.
