Chapter 264 Mission Completion

"How to find it?"

Long Ling asked immediately.

"I'm wondering if this eye is not a concrete and real eye? It may be just a symbolic statement, which may represent his heartfelt voice or wish."

"When I was looking for eyes just now, I also noticed something about Wen Changwang. He seemed to have had many tragic experiences, and I don't know if it was related to this. Of course, I'm not sure whether what I thought was right, but after a while

We didn't find his real eyes, and secondly, we didn't find any traces of space, so this should be the most likely scenario I can think of at the moment."

"Are they symbolic eyes?"

After listening to Long Yingxiao's words, Angelina muttered to herself.

Long Ling also listened to Long Yingxiao's words and said: "It seems to make sense."

"But, even if this is the case, how can we complete the task of finding his eyes and leave here?"

Angelina asked with a frown.

"I can only have a rough guess now. Just now, Long Ling said that he should speak for himself. I'm wondering if we can face Wen Changwang's statue and express his injustice and resentment to see if we can help him solve the problem.

Being happy, or rather expressing his feelings, I don’t know if this counts as completing the task of finding his eyes.”

Seeing Angelina and Long Ling's eyes looking more confused than believing, Long Yingxiao also knew that his idea might be a little unreasonable, so he explained:

"I have always thought it was a bit strange that this statue appeared here. According to our exploration of this house, this should be Wen Changwang's home, but who would have a full-length statue of themselves in their own home? This is a bit strange.

It’s strange. Moreover, his whole body is tightly closed like his eyes. It’s not like there are no eyes when he opens them. Two real eyes need to be put in to make it complete.”

"This is also the biggest reason why I made the conjecture just now. Since he has closed his eyes, does it mean that if he opens his eyes, he has found his eyes?"

Until this point, Angelina and Long Ling felt that Long Yingxiao's idea was still possible. After all, it was undoubtedly true that his eyes were closed.

Seeing the two women nodding, Long Yingxiao continued: "Since there is no other way now, let's investigate again in this direction. The three of us will continue to act separately. This time we are mainly looking for Wen Changwang's personal information, especially Wen Changwang's personal information.

It was his tragic experience."

Although the three of them had seen it more or less before, the three of them were focused on looking for the eyes, so naturally they didn't pay too much attention.

The three of them continued to act separately. With the initial search basis, they naturally knew where to look for Wen Changwang's personal information.

ten minutes later.

The three of them returned to Wen Changwang's full-length portrait and connected all the information related to him.

"Wen Changwang, whose courtesy name is Yide and whose name is Dongling Jushi. He was born in the 26th year of Jiajing and his death year is unknown. In the third year of Longqing, he became a Jinshi. He successively served as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a bachelor of Jinshen Palace..."

"His life seems to be quite smooth until now, but in the end..."

Long Yingxiao frowned, he seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

"In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Wen Changwang took the initiative to resign from Beijing and return to his hometown to serve as an official. He returned to his hometown of Dongling County and served as the sixth-rank Dongling County Magistrate. During his tenure, he vigorously carried out reforms. However, the reforms did not go smoothly and were slightly ineffective. On the contrary,

It wastes money and wastes money, and the people complain..."

Long Yingxiao read this, but there was nothing more to say.

"Why don't you say anything?" Long Ling asked.

"No, this is his own note. He will not continue writing it here."

"So, there are no clues again?" Long Ling spread his hands and said helplessly.

"He is no longer here. But why does this Dongling County sound so familiar to me?"

Long Yingxiao still frowned, trying hard to recall things about Dongling County.

Finally, Long Yingxiao remembered where he saw it.

During the three years since he came to Ziyang City, in order to change Long Yingxiao's lingering bloodthirsty aura and constant state of tension, his father had let him read some historical works to help him calm down and cultivate his mind.

Thanks to this, Long Yingxiao had seen the history of various dynasties in those days. It was impossible to see them all, but it should be no problem to know a rough idea. As for things about Dongling County, that is

Appeared in "Donngling County Chronicles" that Long Yingxiao once read.

"According to what I read at the time, in the 28th year of Wanli, the man who served as the magistrate of Dongling County at that time was named Zhang Jianxiu. In his articles, he mentioned the title 'Brother Yide' many times. From this point of view,

Brother Yide should be Wen Changwang."

Having said this, Long Yingxiao paused, seeming to be recalling things about Wen Changwang, and then he continued:

"Judging from Zhang Jianxiu's articles, he valued Wen Changwang very much. The information we got about Wen Changwang stopped in the 27th year of Wanli, and a year later, Wen Changwang was imprisoned because of

Unable to accept the opposition of the people and his own failure, he chose to throw himself into the Wei River and die."

"But after Zhang Jianxiu took office, he continued Wen Changwang's reforms, and then he discovered that Wen Changwang

The long-term outlook is just a bit too hasty. Although no results have been seen in the short term, with the gradual implementation of reforms, Dongling County can be said to be prosperous."

"Zhang Jianxiu also admired Wen Changwang very much because of this, so his evaluation of Wen Changwang was nothing more than eight words."

Having said this, Long Yingxiao looked up at the statue of Wen Changwang in front of him and said:

"The crime is in the present time, but the contribution will last forever."

As soon as Long Yingxiao finished speaking, a vicissitudes of life and old voice sounded.

“Can the crime be committed in the present day, but the contribution will be felt forever?”

"who!"

Long Ling immediately looked around, the vigilance in his eyes obvious.

Long Yingxiao was not too surprised. He still looked at the statue of Wen Changwang in front of him.

"Junior, thank you."

The voice came out again, a strange person. The voice seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where the speaker was.

"But Mr. Wen?"

Long Yingxiao bowed and saluted, and said to the statue in front of him.

"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect that after four hundred and seventeen years, I would be able to wait for future generations to answer my questions."

The sound came again, but this time, the sound came directly from the statue in front of the three people.

"Thank you for letting me know that I, Wen Changwang, am not the eternal sinner."

Wen Changwang's voice came again, and this time, the eyes that Long Ling once tried to open slowly opened.

A pair of somewhat cloudy eyes opened and looked at Long Yingxiao and the others.

Wen Changwang smiled, his voice seemed to still be echoing on the second floor, but his statue began to dissolve as soon as his eyes opened.

In just a few breaths, Wen Changwang or the statue of Wen Changwang turned into dots of silver light and disappeared.

"So, have we completed our mission?" Long Ling asked from the side.

Before Long Yingxiao could answer, after the silver light dissipated, a silver-white light door appeared where the statue of Wen Changwang was.

"It seems that we have really found his eyes."
