I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

95 Qing Yin Gone With Feather

After all, the "Linjiang Immortal" by Immortal Ruihe is a precious thing. When everyone was stunned, Sima Guang was the first to say: "This is a big deal, we have to find out who stole the painting quickly." Mr. Cheng, the overturned box just now has been placed on the opposite side of the creek, has anyone approached it?"

"I only looked at the people who were playing the game, and I never noticed whether the eliminated people approached the box." Cheng An looked at the eliminated people with a look of embarrassment.

Apart from Sima Guang and Bai Yutang, who was eliminated last and had not had time to leave the table, there were three people Jiang Lin saw who had left their seats in the game room.

The three of them are all sitting at the end of the table. If we talk about their appearance, they can be classified according to height, shortness and fatness.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on them, the three couldn't help but began to defend themselves.

The tall one is called Cao Cen, with a beard on his face, and looks very upright: "I left after Mr. Sima, and I left my seat just for the convenience of going. At that time, I reported to Mr. Cheng. I'm back."

The slightly shorter young man named Chu Shiming echoed, "Yes, after all, we are at Mr. Sima's mansion. Apart from this reason, we should not walk around at will. I lost my way when I came back." , entrusted a servant to bring me back, this should prove my innocence, right?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Fatty Ji Wenze seemed to be drunk, he opened his sleeves and said, "Don't you just suspect that we took that painting? Look, I don't have any in my hand."

Bai Yutang couldn't see anything from the three of them, so he said, "No, the place where the box is placed is opposite all of us. If someone goes to get it, we shouldn't be able to find it. You must have some lightness skills Did the master come and go without a trace and steal the treasure?"

Jiang Lin nodded and said: "That's right, we still have to go to the place where the box is placed first, maybe something is wrong there."

A gleam of interest flashed across Cheng An's eyes, he held the box again, and came to the stone table where he had put the box with everyone.

Except for a chessboard engraved on the surface, the stone table seems to be no different from ordinary stone tables.

But Su Shi, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly made a curious voice: "Hey? Is the number of grids on this chessboard not right?"

Jiang Lin looked down and found that the Go board that was supposed to be 19 by 19 was missing a circle on the outside, only 17 by 17.

The eye position of the chessboard he reached out to touch, the original "high eye" became "three three".Jiang Lin glanced at the box in Cheng An's arms again, and said, "Master Cheng, can you allow me to examine this box carefully?"

Cheng An nodded, and placed the box on the chessboard, which coincided with the positions of the four "high-level eyes" on the board.

The box was square and seemed relatively heavy, with silver patterns inlaid on the outside.

Jiang Lin opened the semicircular lid, and there was indeed nothing inside.

Bai Yutang couldn't help muttering, "Could this alley be empty from the beginning?"

"Probably not?" Sima Guang said, "Although we couldn't open the box to check, didn't Mr. Cheng let us hear the sound made by the scroll inside? And it was just for shooting, Mr. Cheng didn't Just lie to us."

"Shefu" is originally a wine table game for party entertainment. Most of the time, the questioner will only put a chicken feather in it, and there is rarely a way to use the projected object as a prize.Not to mention the situation where he offered to give away a prize, but feigned a shot.

Jiang Lindao: "That's not necessarily the case, maybe even the master is teasing us?"

He glanced at Sima Guang, who smiled and said, "Brother Baishi, why are you looking at me like this?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Lin's lips, and he folded his arms and said, "The winner of the game will get the prize in the box, so finding the location of "Linjiang Fairy" may also be counted as part of the game. "

"So, this is a puzzle-solving game?" Bai Yutang wondered, "What is the background of this painting and its author? We don't have so many steps to marry a bride in my hometown."

Su Xun explained indifferently: "There are many rumors about Immortal Ruihe. Some say that he is a reclusive old man, and some say that he is a talented young man. But all his paintings are brightly colored and lifelike. It's a pity. Haven't seen it yet."

Su Zhe couldn't help pulling his sleeves: "Then why don't you find that painting soon and let us see what it looks like?"

Wang Anshi didn't seem to be interested in the painting, so he only said to Sima Guang, "Mr. Jiang just said that you seemed to be involved in the collection of the painting? Since you know where it is, you might as well tell us directly so that we can continue the next round of the game. "

Bai Yutang was a little stunned by his operation, and Sima Guang said helplessly, "Jiefu, are you a little drunk? Since you want to decipher it, there's no reason for me to explain it to you."

Wang Anshi nodded slowly, and said bluntly, "I'm a little tired, and I want to sit by the table."

After that, Sima Guang quickly helped him back.

After learning that this is a decryption game, the chubby Ji Wenze immediately relaxed: "Then since we know that we didn't get the painting, I won't get involved... I'm not interested in winning prizes, Mr. Jiang It was beautiful to win just now, I just need to take a look at it."

Chu Shiming also nodded and echoed: "It will be more fair for the person who won the game to continue guessing."

It wasn't that Su Xun wanted to grab some prize from Jiang Lin, but he was determined to settle the matter.He looked down at the chessboard on the stone table, and said, "The chessboard fits perfectly with this box after missing the edges around it. This should be a reminder."

Jiang Lin nodded and said, "Mr. Su is right. Jiang Lin doesn't know much about Go, but he has heard a saying, 'Golden Horn and Silver Edge Grass Belly', no matter what I think, this clue points to the silver color on the box. Patterns are."

"Really?" After hearing what he said, Bai Yutang immediately touched the silver pattern on the box, but couldn't figure out what it meant.

Seeing this, Cheng An on the side was about to cough and remind, but Bai Yutang lifted the heavy lid of the box suspiciously, and said, "Why do I feel that the lid is not quite right?"

As he spoke, he tapped the wooden board twice, and his voice was really crisp.

Even Su Shi could hear the strangeness: "There is an interlayer in the lid of this box?"

Cheng An nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, this is the mystery of the disappearance of the painting scroll, but if you want to get the painting out of the box, you still need to crack a few mechanisms..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, there was a bang, and Bai Yutang cut the lid of the box in two with his hands.

Most of the people here are scholars, and they have never seen this posture before.Except for Ji Wenze who was drunk and shouted hello for him, everyone was dumbfounded.Cheng An was so frightened that he pulled the painting scroll out from the pile of wood residue: "Master Bai, why did you make such a quick move? What should you do if you hurt this painting?!"

Although Jiang Lin didn't really like Cheng An's style of leading others to decipher it step by step, he really didn't expect Bai Yutang to directly engage in violent demolition.

He couldn't help asking: "Aren't you also good at mechanism skills? Why don't you try it?"

"There is an easier method, why don't I use it?" Bai Yutang snorted lightly, then turned to Cheng Andao, "You have a box with some tricks, Fifth Lord, I can make you a more clever one at any time."

Cheng An couldn't laugh or cry.

Jiang Linxin said that the other puzzles prepared by his family were the big ones, but he didn't expect that Bai Yutang could see through the flaws in the boxes they prepared.

Bai Yutang directly took "Linjiang Immortal" from Cheng An's hand and said, "It's agreed that whoever finds the scroll will own this painting. Cough, let Fifth Lord take you to enjoy it!"

A group of literati gathered together to play poetry games, and in the end, Bai Yutang, who wrote doggerel, won the prize. No matter how I thought about it, I thought it was a bit funny.

But everyone is obviously more concerned about the "Linjiang Immortal" in Bai Yutang's hand.

He slowly unfolded the scroll, and after revealing the content on it, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Lin involuntarily.

There was no one else, because the painting was a profile of a man in white, and that man was [-]% similar to Jiang Lin's attire in terms of figure and attire.

Jiang Lin shuddered when he saw the painting. Not only did he feel that the painting was familiar, but even the brush strokes were completely familiar.

While he was thinking about it, Su Zhe suddenly tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Young Master Jiang, you dropped something on the floor."

Jiang Lin lowered his head, and saw Su Zhe pick up the booklet that he had opened because he fell to the ground.Cheng An saw the small portrait he had put in the booklet, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Jiang Shaoqing, you actually have works by Immortal Ruihe?"

Jiang Lin was stunned: "...what?"

Cheng An excitedly took the booklet, looked at it carefully and said, "Don't you know? I have studied the works of Immortal Ruihe all the year round, and I am very familiar with his painting methods and brushwork. This small portrait in your hand , is definitely the authentic work of Immortal Ruihe!"

Jiang Lin's Adam's apple rolled.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be shocked by the identity of the original owner, or whether he should regret that the priceless authentic works of the Ruihe Immortals at home were all put in the vase at will by him.

I feel like I missed a million.
