Chapter 700: An Early Summer Visitor
After returning to the capital from the Golden Cicada Temple for more than 20 days, Hua Lang connected several cases, these cases are very simple, Hua Lang helped these people solve it, and made a lot of money, and at this time, his reputation in the capital was even greater.
In the blink of an eye, it is early summer, and the early summer in the capital still has the shadow of late spring, so it is not very hot, but the cicadas have been singing for a long time.
The creek in front of the house is much more lively than usual, there are often mandarin ducks or ducks playing in it, the willow trees on the bank are already hanging down, when there is nothing to do, everyone likes to sit by the stream and enjoy the nearby scenery, this is simply like the life of a fairy couple.
It's just that before dusk that day, two uninvited guests came to the house.
It was said that it was an uninvited guest, because Hanaro and they didn't expect these two people to come to them.
One of these two people, Hualang, they all recognized, was the Eight Sages King, and the other they didn't know, but looking at his clothes, he was rich and unusual.
The Eight Sages did not bring any guards today, but only entered Hanalang's detective agency with that person, that is, their home, and when they entered the mansion, Hanalang and the others looked at each other and did not understand.
But even if they didn't understand, they couldn't let the Eight Sages King notice anything, and after they invited the Eight Sages King and the noble brother into the living room, Hua Lang hurriedly said: "I don't know if the Eight Sages King has arrived, the grass people are really far away, I don't know why the Eight Sages King suddenly came to me?" ”
The Eight Sages King glanced at his companion, and then said to Hua Lang: "This is Chai Rongshan, the grandson of King Zheng, he has been hereditary a year ago, and now he is also King Zheng, this king has brought King Zheng to you today to discuss important matters, but before I say this, you must promise not to tell anyone else about this matter." ”
Seeing that the person who was with the Eight Sages King turned out to be Chai Rongshan, Hua Lang was very surprised for a while, when he was in Tianchang County, he had escorted the Eight Sages King, and at that time the Eight Sages King got a chess game, saying that after cracking the secret of the chess game, you can know who in the court of Ludao has colluded with the Tsing Yi Society, when Hua Lang They cracked the secret on the chess game, the first name they saw was this Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan.
At that time, the Eight Sages were very suspicious of the people on the chess game, but why did he bring this person to him today? And it's so mysterious that he won't tell him about it if he doesn't assure him first.
Hua Lang was very embarrassed by the request of the Eight Sages King, and said: "Yin is not wrong, they are all my friends and relatives, and there are some things that I can't hide from them, so I don't know ......."
Before Hua Lang's words were finished, the Eight Sages King hurriedly said: "This doesn't matter, they trust you and your own king, they can know the Dao, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce they can also know the Dao, as long as you don't tell anyone other than them, I can say it." ”
Seeing that the Eight Sages King was so open, Hua Lang was embarrassed to refuse, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the Eight Sages King wants to say to Zaixia?" ”
Seeing that Hualang agreed, the Eight Sages King was immediately happy, and then very mysteriously took out two pieces of paper from his body, the paper was not opened originally, but it could be seen that there was ink on it, thinking that there was something written, the Eight Sages King put the two pieces of paper on the table, and said: "This matter is a long story, and the words on these two pieces of paper are very related, and this matter is related to my Great Song Dynasty National Fortune, so I have to be cautious!" ”
As soon as he heard that this matter was related to the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, Hua Lang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, because he suddenly found that this matter of knowing the Dao was very likely to bring disaster to himself.
He's just a little detective, although he has some fame, but he has no fame, like the court and the country's major events, wouldn't he harm himself if he knew the truth?
But Hua Lang had no chance to refuse.
At this time, the Eight Sages King looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Do you know Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" ”
Hearing the Eight Sages King mention Li Yu, Hua Lang was even more puzzled, and nodded: "This is naturally heard of, he seems to be ......" Hua Lang suddenly stopped when he said this, because he wanted to say that Li Yu seemed to have been poisoned by Song Taizong, but the Eight Sages King was here, how could he dare to say these words, this is not an insult to the ancestor of the Eight Sages King.
Hua Lang stopped suddenly, so that the Eight Sages King was a little noticed, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter, just continued: "The geographical location of the Southern Tang Dynasty is very superior, although the emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not have any talent to expand the territory, but they were very good at collecting money, when the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, it is reported that Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent his cronies to hide all the valuables in the palace in order to restore the country, this matter was originally just a rumor, but a few days ago King Zheng suddenly came to me, saying that this matter is true, because he has studied many ancient books, It turned out that when my Song soldiers broke through the gate of the Southern Tang Dynasty and broke into the palace, they did not find many treasures inside, which means that Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, hid the treasures in the palace as treasures. ”
After listening to what the Eight Sages King said, Hua Lang's heart was very agitated, because he never thought that Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, would have such a move, but even so, Hua Lang didn't believe it very much, because he had never heard of it, and Li Yu didn't have any political skills, would he think of keeping the money so that he could return to the country one day?
At this time, Hua Lang's heart was very complicated and agitated, but his face remained calm, and he even took a sip of the tea on the table, and when he felt that the words he said would not make people suspicious, Hua Lang said: "So that's the case, it's just that the Eight Sages King told me about this, I'm just a flat-headed commoner!"
The Eight Sages King did not doubt Hua Lang's words, and continued: "Now that there are frequent wars on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and the deficit of the national treasury is very serious, this king thinks that if I can find those treasures, maybe my Great Song Dynasty can use those treasures to become rich and strong, and destroy the Western Xia and Great Liao in one fell swoop, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can live a peaceful and stable life." ”
This is indeed a very beautiful wish, but if you want to find the treasure, why not send officers and soldiers to find it?
The Eight Sages King seemed to see what Hua Lang was thinking, and said: "That batch of treasures is very involved, I am afraid that the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty will try to restore the country after knowing about this, so I want to do the matter of finding the treasure secretly, the playboy is extremely smart, and he should be able to do this." ”
The Eight Sages King came to find him, it was really not a good thing, and the cold sweat on Hua Lang's forehead became more and more, but he didn't dare to wipe it, he just held the teacup and didn't dare to put it down.
Hua Lang's face was very calm, but he kept insulting in his heart, he should have refused from the beginning, and now that the Eight Sages King had told him all about it, could he still refuse? I'm afraid that as soon as he refuses, the Eight Sages King will immediately send someone to imprison him, or even kill him.
