Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 4 Fan Zhongyan is a thief.

Hwarang and the others already knew the specifics, so they traveled day and night in the next few days, trying to get to the capital as soon as possible.

Along the way, the Baxian King took out the chess record for Hwarang and others to refer to in order to figure out the secret.

This is a chess game book, there are about forty or fifty chess games in it, but these chess games are very ordinary and can be solved with a few steps. For experts, these are just children's science.

But because the chess game is simple, the secrets hidden in it are difficult to discover.

Except for forty or fifty chess games, there are words written in the upper and lower corners of each page of the game record. After Hwarang wrote all these words on a piece of paper, he found that these words are just the most common words.

Chess records, characters, what is the connection between them?

This day is coming to the capital, the weather in the Central Plains is much cooler than that in the south, and the sky is covered with dark clouds, and soon it will rain heavily. Hualang and others have no choice but to take Baxian King to a ruined temple to shelter from the rain .

The rain was a little long, and the waiting was so boring.

So a chess board was drawn by Hwarang, and then he tried the chess games on the board one by one. For each chess game, about two to three moves can checkmate the opponent. Of course, this is the best way to use it. If the steps are fast, if they are slow, it may be a dead end in a cycle.

It's just that what's the use of this, so what if you checkmate the other party.

Hwarang took out the piece of paper with some irregular words written on it to read, but just looking at the words on the paper, he couldn't see anything. Wen Meng sat aside and looked at it, and said unconsciously: "The characters on it are not uncommon, and many of them are people's surnames, but what's the use of them!"

Hearing what Wen Meng said, Hua Lang suddenly shouted excitedly: "I know!"

Everyone was very excited when they heard it, and quickly asked: "The secret in the chess record!"

Hwarang nodded, and then he wrote those chaotic words on every position of the chess board. After he finished writing, everyone still didn't understand. The Eight Sage King looked at these and was even more puzzled. He asked, "What is this?" how!"

Hwarang smiled lightly and said, "Eight Wise Kings don't worry, you will understand soon!"

As Hwarang said, he went through the three moves of checkmate in the first chess game, and then wrote down the position of his own chess, and then wrote down the words on the position. In this way, they got three words.

Although the three characters are still messed up, if you put the characters in the surnames of hundreds of families first, it becomes a personal name.

The three characters obtained in the first chess game are respectively Rong Chai Bing. Put the Chai character in front, and then combine the characters Rong and Bing to get two names, namely Chai Rong Bing and Chai Bing Rong. This name is not very familiar, so they set their sights on the Eight Sage Kings. He is an official in the court, and he should have an impression of the names of officials from all over the country. Can he deny one of these two names?

Eight Wise King frowned, and after a long time sighed, he said, "Chai Rongbing, it's him!"

When everyone heard this, they became even more curious, so they hurriedly asked: "The Eight Sage Kings recognize this person!"

Baxian King nodded, and said after a long time: "Chai Rongbing is the grandson of Hou Zhou, the grandson of King Zheng, it's just him... how could his name appear in this game record!"

At this time, everyone already understood that Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was wearing a yellow robe, and it was the latter Zhou Jiangshan who took away the land. Let the Baxian King be in trouble, kill him, he has a gold medal for avoiding death, you can't kill him, and if you kill him, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the ministers of the court and the people of the Song Dynasty, but if you don't kill him, he won't know what to do with the people of Qingyi Society What are you planning to do? At that time, everything will be difficult to handle.

Seeing that the Baxian King was in a dilemma, Hwarang couldn't continue talking about this matter, but let everyone go through the rest of the game, and then record the list, so that if the people in the Tsing Yi Club want more chess records, just give them. up.

Going through this way, and then passed the screening, a total of 50 people's names were recorded. Some of these people were local magistrates, some were Jiedu envoys, and some were officials in the capital. Although they were not big, they played an important role.

After the Eight Sage Kings read the list, his complexion suddenly changed. He seemed to have a hard time accepting this matter, because he didn't believe that there were so many moths in the Great Song Dynasty that he and Emperor Renzong worked so hard to build. There are many people who are dissatisfied with Da Song and even want to overthrow Da Song.

It's like when a person makes friends, he treats them sincerely, and thinks about him for many good things, but suddenly one day, he finds out that this so-called friend is talking bad about him behind his back, and he is planning how to use him.

This kind of betrayal is unbearable for anyone.

The names of the people on the list flashed in the mind of the Eight Sage Kings one by one. He couldn't believe that these people would betray Song Dynasty, his heart was pierced, and he almost couldn't breathe.

The wind and rain outside the ruined temple was even more urgent. A gust of wind brought some coolness, and everyone was silent. This kind of important event in the court cannot be controlled by a few bodyguards and detectives. It all depends on the emperor and the eight sage kings. mean.

When everyone didn't know what to do, the Eighth Sage King suddenly picked up the list on it, looked at it one by one, and finally stopped his fingers in one place. He frowned and shook his head again and again, as if he couldn't believe it even more. .

Hwarang looked along the eight wise king's fingers, and then he saw a name he was very familiar with: Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan's name is also on this list, which is simply unbelievable. Who is Fan Zhongyan? How could a person like him collude with an organization like Tsing Yi Society?

Seeing this name on the list, it's no wonder that the Eight Sage Kings couldn't believe it.

Not only Ba Xian Wang can't believe it, even Hwarang, a future man, can't believe it.

The Eight Sage King looked at the three characters of Fan Zhongyan for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Last year, Xiwen made a picture of hundreds of officials. He pointed out the promotion of many officials in the picture. He was very fond of Prime Minister Lu Yijian." Dissatisfied, criticizing him for widening his back and abusing his personal life, so that the court was full of smog. Lu Yijian refused to accept it and slandered Xiwen. When this king knew, the emperor had already demoted him to Raozhou. , but this king has always been thinking of helping him enter the court again, he... how could he have a relationship with the Tsingyi Society, could it be that he blamed the emperor for demoting his official position regardless of right and wrong?"
