Chapter 771 Topographic Map
If it wasn't for the government, then what did the person who drew this picture realize?
Thinking of this, layers of goosebumps appeared all over his body, his heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have walked into a bottomless cold abyss.
The darkness seems to have a hand and a pair of eyes, staring at him all the time, pushing him.
The young man hurriedly said: "Go back to your lord, when my subordinate went to the inn to pick up the suspect today, I found this in the corner of the courtyard of the inn. I didn't look at it at the time, but when I came back, I looked carefully and saw that it was a topographic map of Jinyang. The picture is still very detailed. My subordinates thought it was very useful, so I left it. I had been searching for the whereabouts of the suspect outside, aimlessly, when I suddenly thought of this picture, so I immediately rushed back to present it to the adults, the subordinates really have nothing else I would like to ask the adults to learn from you.”
Mr. Qian naturally believed him. Although this fellow was young, he had been working as a clerk in the yamen for many years, longer than he had done as a county magistrate. If this picture was his, why would he have to take it out at this time to make him suspicious?
Mr. Qian nodded: "Since it was picked up, it has nothing to do with you. You said, who did you show this picture?"
The young man hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, there is no one else. Since returning from the inn, the villain has not stopped for a moment, and he has not even had time to talk to his companions."
This is also true. Mr. Qian nodded again and picked up the map again. After careful review, he found that some shops on this map no longer existed. In those shops, new shops have already opened. Obviously, , This map is not new, at least it was written a year or two ago.
Could it be something belonging to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom?
If they carry this thing on them, what does that mean? It shows that they came to the state of Chu to discuss peace, in fact, they had another purpose, and having such a detailed map proves that they are in the state of Chu.
If so, why did His Highness pour this dirty water? He didn't understand.
"Sir!" the young man called.
Mr. Qian returned to his senses, and said hurriedly: "Tell me, how to narrow the scope?" If you don't understand, then don't think about it. He is a small county magistrate and just obeys orders. What will happen is not within his control. .
The young man pointed to several streets and alleys on the map: "Sir, although all the inns in the city have not been searched, the subordinates think that they will definitely not stay in the inn, which is equivalent to waiting for us to catch them in the inn."
"So what?" Mr. Qian asked.
The youth said: "So, the subordinates guess that they are either hidden in this residential area, or hidden in these deserted courtyards, and there is a brothel casino that only sees profit but does not hear blood. Focus on these few places to search, and you will be able to find traces.”
After hearing this, Mr. Qian felt reasonable and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. If it's done well, it will be a great achievement. If it doesn't work well, you will be punished by yourself."
The young man was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Mr. Qian waved his hand, motioning him to step back, and slowly closed his bloodshot eyes.
Just when Mr. Qian closed his eyes, the corner of the young man's mouth drew a cool smile, and his temperament and demeanor seemed to change with this smile.
He picked up the map on the table and turned to leave.
Hu Feng and Zhou Ganglun stayed at night, while Jin'er guarded the princess and refused to close her eyes when she was so sleepy, for fear that when she fell asleep, something bad would happen to the princess again.
Just after the third watch, Zhou Gang rushed into the room in a hurry, and Hu Feng, who closed his eyes, woke up immediately, "Here you come?"
