"Sneaking back to the medical center? Does that mean you have actually been hiding for a long time? And that set of meridian diagrams, such an important thing, you didn't bring with you?"
"Prince Yong was not sure whether my father's meridian map was what he wanted, let alone whether my father had a meridian map. So he met with my father yesterday and asked some questions. Fortunately, my father had already prepared it and compiled it.
I had some reasons to put it off. Then I knew that more things would happen next, so I found my subordinate and prepared to leave the capital. Because the incident happened suddenly, my father had no preparations, so he secretly went back to the hospital to burn the meridian map."
Xia Shang frowned, feeling that things were a bit complicated and difficult to understand.
But now I don’t have time to figure everything out, so I can only assume that everything happened for a reason.
"Now that Mr. Zhuo has been captured, why would you believe me? I don't have a deep friendship with you."
"My father has mentioned Mr. Xiao Xia to me more than once. My father said that Mr. Xiao Xia is the only person in the world who truly maintains goodwill towards the world. He also said that if my father encounters any unexpected events, and I encounter another
If there is any problem that cannot be solved, come and ask Mr. Xiaoxia for help. My father said that based on what he did in Xiaoqingshan back then, Mr. Xiaoxia will definitely try his best to help."
"Xiao Qingshan... Kuangfeng Village..." Xia Shang's thoughts were a little wandering, and he only felt that this was such a distant name.
Back then in Xiaoqingshan, with Mr. Zhuo and Yue Haitang...
Xia Shang suddenly quickened his pace: "Don't worry, I will definitely find Mr. Zhuo."
As Xia Shang spoke, Zhuo Yuan's eyes noticed something and gradually became confused:
"Master Xia, what you are holding in your hands is..."
The piece of paper that Xia Shang had been holding in his hand was noticed by Zhuo Yuan. It was not that Zhuo Yuan noticed the pattern on the paper, but the material of the paper itself.
Zhuo Yuan knew that there was a meridian map in his father's medical clinic, and that such an important thing was recorded on the best paper by Zhuo Bufan.
The paper material is far superior to commonly used paper in the world, and its characteristics are very obvious.
Even if it only showed a corner in Xia Shang's hand, he could guess it at a glance.
At this time, Xia Shang didn't have to hide anything. He spread his hands and said, "I found it in the medical clinic."
Seeing the burnt black on the other side of the paper, Zhuo Yuan was a little surprised: "Father has already
Did you burn the meridian diagram first?"
"Probably."
Zhuo Yuan stopped for a moment, and his expression became a little more sad.
"Why don't you leave?" Xia Shang turned around and asked.
"Since the things have been burned by my father, I think there is no need to go to him again."
"What?!"
"My father is already ninety years old and has only a few days left. Taking risks for an old man who is over ninety years old is not a wise choice at all, Mr. Xia."
"That's your father."
"But he is not Mr. Xia's father. I have heard about Mr. Xia's deeds and know that Mr. Xia still has a lot of things to do. I asked Mr. Xia for help mainly because of the meridian map. But I don't want you to take risks for an old man.
.I won’t bother Sir Xia with this matter, just leave it to Zhuo Yuan to handle it himself.”
Zhuo Yuan was an upright person, and these words made Xia Shang feel much better in his heart.
Xia Shang smiled: "Even if you didn't know that the arrested person was Mr. Zhuo, you would still intervene in this matter. This matter is related to a bigger matter, so we must arrest Mr. Zhuo no matter what."
They were found out. So, you don’t have to think about anything else, just take shelter in my house for the time being. No matter how bold the person who wants your meridian map is, they would not dare to cause trouble directly in Xia Mansion."
Zhuo Yuan was still a little hesitant, but there were not many choices before him. It seemed that he had no other choice but to follow Xia Shang.
Although Mr. Xia is young, his confidence in speaking is unparalleled by few in the entire capital.
Zhuo Yuan or Xia Shang went to talk to his father and said that any son wouldn't want his father to be safe. Even if he knew that his father's life was short, it would be good to live one more day after all.
After much hesitation, Zhuo Yuan followed Xia Shang to Xiafu.
The Beggar Clan continued to wait for the prince's movements, and at the same time, Prince Yong was also included in the surveillance ranks.
After Zhuo Yuan arrived in Xiafu, he described his experiences during this period in detail.
But he didn't know how the meridian map kept by his father was leaked, or when it was noticed.
Moreover, the person who captured Zhuo Feifan was obviously from Japan.
But judging from Zhuo Yuan's description, there is no connection between them and the Japanese people. Even Zhuo Yuan does not believe that the person who captured his father is Japanese.
Chinese.
This situation made Xia Shang a little disappointed. He thought he could get some useful information from Zhuo Yuan, but he didn't expect it didn't matter at all.
After going around in a circle, things didn't seem to be making much progress.
On the contrary, Zhuo Bufan has disappeared for a while, but there is no clue.
While Xia Shang was thinking hard about countermeasures, he suddenly heard Xiaoyue in the yard complaining, as if the Japanese people at home came and left whenever they wanted, and did not regard themselves as guests at all, and they had no rules at all.
Xia Shang knew that Xiaoyue was talking about Zero Four.
Xiaoyue, this girl, has always disliked two Japanese people living in her home, and she was particularly unhappy with Ling Si, who had no rules.
Hearing her complaining, Xia Shang knew that this must be Ling Si's sudden return from outside.
Thinking of Ling Si's return, Xia Shang went out of the house directly, then found Ji Zi and asked Ji Zi about Ling Si.
"Is Zero Four back?"
As soon as Xia Shang finished speaking, he felt someone else behind him.
When I turned around, it turned out to be Zero Four.
Xia Shang had long been accustomed to Ling Si's style and asked in a low voice: "I heard that there is still contact between you and Ling Yi?"
Hearing this question, both Zero Four and Yoshiko sitting inside frowned at the same time.
Lingsi's eyes fell on Jizi, who looked at Xia Shang with a reproachful face.
Obviously, Zero Four did not know that the news of his return had been leaked to this outsider by his own lady.
"Don't be so nervous. I just want to use your relationship to meet Zero."
Zero Four didn't speak or express anything.
Xia Shang thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Give this thing to Ling Yi. After he sees this thing, I believe he will be very willing to see me."
With that said, Xia Shang took out the piece of paper he found in the medical clinic.
Zero Four didn't know everything about the general outline of the Heavenly Book, so when he saw the piece of paper, he only had some doubts and didn't show much emotion.
"It must be given to Zero One. I believe this thing will be very important to him."
Zero Four took the things and seemed a little hesitant.
Yoshiko said: "I don't know what's going on between you, but Zero Four, you should do as he says. It's up to that person to decide whether we meet or not."
