Don't worry, let me start a game first.

Chapter 18 Return to Kyoto
Lin Qianxing would never go to meet such a beautiful place just because he heard about it.

However, Lin Qianxing guessed that Tan Lian also knew that he would definitely not meet him there, so he probably planned to ask Lin Qianxing to give him a new meeting place at that time.

Regarding returning to the capital, Lin Qianxing hesitated for a long time, wondering whether he should go or not.

He was a thief in the first place, even if Linglong Yudan's case was investigated clearly, he was still a thief in shame.

So there was no need for him to take any risks in this matter.

But Lin Qianxing was a little unwilling.

He didn't want to just take the scapegoat and run away for the rest of his life.

So he faced two choices.

The first one is to slowly increase your strength until you can ignore the pursuit of the Evil Division.

The second one is to participate in the investigation, to find out about Linglong Yudan as soon as possible, and to get rid of the fate of being entangled by the arrested criminals.

The theft of Linglong Jade Gallbladder may require a warrant to arrange for the arrest of the evil department, but it is not necessary if it is just to catch a small thief.

Then he could sleep in a bed again instead of a cave, and eat hot meals at a table instead of dry rations and stolen cold cooked food in the wilderness.

Lin Qianxing is not impatient, but he has been waiting for almost three months.

It is already the end of September, and the weather in his place has turned from hot to cool.

He really couldn't imagine the miserable situation when he was sleeping in the wilderness in winter.

I can't take it anymore, isn't it just stealing something in the capital?

Now he is not a "half wing" who can only climb the courtyard wall, but a "flying dove" who can freely come and go in the sky. Isn't it easy to steal something?

Ever since, Lin Qianxing began to return to the location of the Five Tripod City in the capital.

He went straight all the way and rushed back to Kyoto in less than three days.

This is because he took a short break in the middle, otherwise, with Lin Qianxing fully fired, one day would be enough to reach the location.

After arriving at the location, Lin Qianxing notified Tan Lian.

Tan Lian and him agreed to meet at noon.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, Lin Qianxing found that no one was following him, so he used a throwing knife to inform him to meet at the designated location.

Lin Qianxing's agreed meeting place was by a small river, surrounded by flat land, without any obstacles, so it was not easy to set up an ambush.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, he saw Lin Qianxing's figure appearing on the other side of the river.

"You are too cautious." Tan Lian said a little speechlessly.

"You have never been poisoned, have you? Have you ever been trapped by someone? Have you never been ambushed? In the past two months, I have encountered it more than a dozen times!" Lin Qianxing exaggerated. .

In fact, he only encountered an ambush once, poisoned him once, and then he became vigilant, and he didn't even go to the city to rest. Since then, no one has been able to use dirty tricks to deceive him.

Tan Lian was a little silent, and then said: "Since you're here, let's get down to business!"

"I didn't intend to talk nonsense." Lin Qianxing said.

"I guess Linglong Yudan is in the hands of Tian Shouping, the deputy commander of the Anti-Criminal Division. You can go to his residence and find out if the thing is in his house." Tan Lian said.

"What cultivation level is he?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"Great achievement in refining gods." Tan Lian said as calmly as possible.

Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows, and then said: "I remembered that I still have something to do, so I left first!"

Just kidding, after the body tempering state is the god refining state, he dare not touch the body tempering master, and when he meets the master of god refining, will he go up and send it?

"Don't worry, you won't run into him head-on. I found out that every night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, he would go to the palace to play chess with the sage. It's fine." Tan Lian hurriedly stopped him.

"You know such a secret thing?" Lin Qianxing was a little surprised, and asked, "Can you tell me the details of the case you investigated?"

Tan Lian nodded and said, "I started investigating what happened in the palace on the fifth night of July."

"Later, I found out that the Xuanru Hall was flooded that night, and a large number of guards went to the Xuanru Hall to fight the fire. Coincidentally, the Holy Majesty was playing chess with Vice Commander Tian in the Xuanru Hall at that time. From then on, he handed over the Linglong Jade Gallbladder to Jiang Neishi, the Imperial Prisoner, and asked him to take it back for preservation, and he was accompanied by a court lady named Lotus and two guards from the Qixuan Army."

"Linglong Yudan was not missing when Jiang Neishi brought it back to the Imperial Prison. It was not until the next day that someone discovered that it was missing."

"At the beginning, I didn't think about Deputy Commander Tian. Firstly, it was unrealistic to steal the Linglong Jade Gallbladder in front of the Holy Majesty. Secondly, he should not have done such a thing until I investigated the leaking of Xuanru Hall. , I accidentally found a name."

Having said that, Tan Lian paused slightly.

Lin Qianxing was shocked by Tan Lian's ability to investigate the case, so he continued, "What name?"

"Tian Xuanru!" Tan Lian replied: "A concubine whom the Holy Majesty loved very much was accidentally killed by the Holy Majesty because she was involved in a case in the palace. In order to commemorate her, the palace where she lived in was named Xuanru. temple."

"Is she related to Tian Shouping?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"That's right, she is the sister of Vice Commander Tian." Tan Lian said.

"So, Tian Shouping's position as the deputy commander of the Anti-Evil Department is also related to his sister's death? Is this the Holy Majesty's compensation for him?" Lin Qianxing suddenly asked.

"Not entirely, he is indeed very capable. At least as far as I know, since he took office, many old cases in the capital have been easily handled by him, and he has always been impartial. He has never heard of bribery. I know, even the great commander has more or less received other people's things." Tan Lian retorted.

"Even so, how did you link the two things together?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"The palace has always been very good at preventing flooding. The last time the palace was flooded was more than 100 years ago. In Xuanru Palace, apart from the Holy Majesty, the only person who can come and go freely is Vice Commander Tian." Tan Lian said.

"It is impossible for the Holy Majesty to burn down the Xuanru Palace, so there is something wrong with Tian Shouping?" Lin Qianxing suddenly said: "He caused a big fire, attracted attention, and took the opportunity to arrange for someone to steal the exquisite jade gallbladder. , and removed his motive for committing the crime.”

"That's almost the case, and besides the imperial prison, Deputy Commander Tian has the most contact with Linglong Yudan, so he is also the most likely to steal Linglong Yudan." Tan Lian nodded.

"What do you think is the use of that thing?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"I don't know, but I found out about its origin from ancient books." Tan Lian said.

"Tell me about it." Lin Qianxing said.

"The five tripods were made of gold and precious jade, but they left three parts of sincerity. Skillful craftsmen carved Liuyu pills, and the combination of yin and yang is exquisite." Tan Lian opened his mouth and spit out a poem.

"What does this poem mean?" Lin Qianxing blinked his eyes, not understanding the allusion in it.

"Do you know the origin of Wuding City?" Tan Lian asked.

Lin Qianxing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the emperor Taizu of our Dayu Kingdom collected precious materials from all over the world and cast five tripods to suppress the luck of Dayu Kingdom. These five tripods are Shanchuan Ding, Wanshou Ding, Jianghe Ding, and Human Dao As well as the Changnong Ding, each Ding has a corresponding mysterious power, which made the Dayu Kingdom prosperous at that time, and the place where the Five Dings were cast was here, so it was called the City of the Five Dings.” Speaking of which, Tan Lian paused for a moment, and then said: "And the exquisite jade gallbladder is a toy carved from the materials left over from the time when the five tripods were cast. Now that the five tripods have been lost, this exquisite jade gallbladder has been handed down. "

Lin Qianxing was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect that there would be such a legendary story about the origin of the name of Wuding City.

What surprised him even more was that the Linglong Jade Gallbladder was actually made from the scraps left over from the five tripods.

It is not easy to think about the leftovers of the five tripods that can suppress the luck of a country, right?

No wonder the emperor of Dayu Kingdom was so angry when things were lost.

But compared to this, Lin Qianxing's view of Tan Lian has been refreshed again.

He also wanted to know that even if Tan Lian was covered with a layer of anti-villain, he would definitely not let him investigate the secret information in the palace, let alone know some small details of the emperor.

It can only be said that Tan Lian's ability to handle cases and investigate things is indeed very powerful.

"In that case, when and where should I act?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"There are still two days until the fifth day of October. If you come back later, you may have to wait until next month." Tan Lian said, took out a map and put it on the ground, and pressed it with a stone. Then he said: "This is the map I drew in the inner city of Kyoto. It shows the residence of Vice Commander Tian. He will be inspected when he enters the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, so he will definitely not bring anything with him, so you go to the palace on the fifth day of October. After searching his house, we will know if it is the exquisite jade gall that he stole."

"What if the things are in his place?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"You inform me directly, and I will bring people in to search. As long as Linglong Yudan is found, everything will be easy," Tan Lian said.

"Are you so reckless? Aren't you afraid that I'll steal something, or lie that there is Linglong Jade Gallbladder in it to hurt you?" Lin Qianxing asked.

Tan Lian shook his head and said, "You dare not, and you can't do this. We are already grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to me, I will definitely tell you about killing Feng Jie as soon as possible, and then It's easy to find you with the method of arresting evildoers..."

"You're right, I really can't do that." Lin Qianxing nodded and said.

Tan Lian glanced at Lin Qianxing. In fact, he still had something to say, that is, he felt that the Holy One already knew that Tian Shouping had stolen the Linglong Jade Gallbladder, but he just pretended not to know.

But there was no need to say these things, he was afraid that if he said it, with Lin Qianxing's courage, he would not dare to take risks.

"You already know the matter, so that's it, I'll go back first." Tan Lian greeted and planned to leave.

"Wait!" Lin Qianxing stopped Tan Lian and said, "Well, do you know how to forge bones?"
