The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 567

[Chapter 567 Map]

When Fang Xiu saw this, he hurriedly explained: “It’s Xia Yixue, and I haven’t seen it. This sachet was found behind the plaque of Bianchi Medical Center. She should have left it.”

Hearing that it was him. Zhao Yan’s expression softened slightly and she asked, “What’s in the sachet?”

“I haven’t seen it since I got it.”

Fang Xiu said, opened the sachet, and then saw Inside was a piece of dim paper.

It was spread out on the table, but there was nothing on it, not a single word!

“Brother, you were a beggar outside for a day and you got back a blank piece of paper?”

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru once again used her special skill – poisonous tongue.

It had to be said that Fang Ru’s ability to last-hit had reached a first-class level. Just such a sentence made Fang Xiu have the urge to let her experience the dangers of the world.

He took a deep breath and said: “It can’t be just a blank piece of paper. You should use other methods to see the contents on the paper.”

After he finished speaking, a thoughtful look appeared on his face and he looked at the man standing aside. Curious Zhu’er said: “Zhu’er, bring the oil lamp.”

“Ah?”

Zhu’er was slightly startled, as if she had thought of something, and with a look of hesitation on her face, she persuaded: “Mr. Fang, after all, it’s your flower. It took a day to get it back, there’s no need to burn it.”

“”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he felt like ten thousand alpacas were rushing past.

“It’s not meant to be burned. Just bring the oil lamp over and you’ll know.”

He still remembered that a popular science program he once watched described ancient methods of keeping secrets. One of them was to dissolve alum in water and then put it on paper. Write on it.

The characters written in this way are invisible and will only appear after being roasted by fire.

He didn’t know the specific chemical principle, but it did exist and was not just made up in novels and TV series.

Therefore, people like Xia Yixue should also know some similar methods.

He had already thought that if there was no effect after roasting, he would have to try water.

If the water still doesn’t work

, just pretend you’ve never gotten this sachet.

While Fang Xiu was thinking this, Zhuer had already brought the oil lamp over.

“Master Fang, here you go”

Zhu’er handed the already lit oil lamp to Fang Xiu.

After Fang Xiu took it, he placed the paper on the flame of the oil lamp, keeping a certain distance, and burned it for a while.

Except for Liu Qing, the other four people looked at this scene in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.

“Brother, you don’t really want to burn this thing, do you?”

Fang Ru asked curiously when she saw this scene.

Fang Xiu turned around and glared at her, and said angrily: “If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute!”

After hearing this, Fang Ru curled her lips and did not dare to speak again.

Zhu’er on the side seemed to have seen something unbelievable, with a shocked expression on her face, and said excitedly: “Look, look, there is something on the paper!”

“Huh? Is it possible that this paper will still look like Just like a human being, if you don’t give it some color,”

Fang Ru said halfway, when she saw the look in her brother’s eyes, she suddenly didn’t dare to speak.

Fang Xiu carefully lifted the piece of paper up slowly, keeping as far away from the flames as possible.

Even if this method is feasible, you must be more careful, otherwise you will burn it before you even see what is drawn or written on the paper.

Wouldn’t that be like shooting oneself in the foot?

“The things on the paper are getting clearer and clearer, how could this happen!”

Among the four people, Pearl was the most excited, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

The other three people were equally surprised that the contents of the paper appeared after being roasted by fire, but they were more curious about the contents of the paper.

Time passes minute by minute.

After about a minute of baking, Fang Xiu saw that the content on the paper had become clearly visible, so he put out the oil lamp and put the paper on the table again.

Obviously, it’s not words, but more like a painting.

Fang Xiu stared at the paper for a moment, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: “This is a map!”

“A map?”

Lin Wanqing repeated softly, obviously Didn’t understand the meaning of the word.

Fang Xiu added: “It’s the map. Here is the city gate, here is Baolefang, here is the Grand Theater of the Capital, and here is the palace. It’s

so detailed, it’s incredible!”

You know, in this era, it is difficult to draw such a map. A detailed map is not an easy task.

In addition, for the sake of safety, the imperial court also stipulated that the city of Kyoto explicitly prohibited private map drawing. Only the Kyoto Prefectural Government and the Six Ministries were qualified to draw maps.

This makes it more difficult to draw a map of Kyoto City.

You know, even for the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen and the Sixth Department, they need to report before they can draw a map, and the purpose must be explained in detail, just to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy, such as the Prairie Qiyan Department.

“Map?”

When Zhao Yan and Lin Wanqing heard this, they were slightly startled. Then, with serious expressions on their faces, they looked at the piece of paper, which was not too big.

With just one glance, their faces showed joy.

Born and raised in Kyoto City, they are naturally very familiar with the layout of Kyoto City.

What is drawn on this paper is indeed the map of Kyoto City.

Moreover, in addition to the outer city of Kyoto City, the inner city, that is, the Imperial Palace, is also drawn in such detail!

Even Zhao Yan was amazed when she saw it.

She spent most of her time in the palace and had never seen such a detailed map.

“How was this done?”

Zhao Yan looked at the map carefully and was surprised to find that the location of the palace drawn on the map was exactly as it was in her memory.

You know, even she couldn’t draw such a map just by relying on her memory.

Therefore, I couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, I feel both emotion and confusion.

Fang Xiu shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Fang Ru, who was next to him, thought for a while and asked, “Brother, could it be that Mr. Xia who stole it from the Yamen?”

Before Fang Xiu spoke, Zhao Yan shook her head and said: “I have been to the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen before, and I have also seen the map there. Compared with this one, it is very different.

This can never be stolen from the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen. “

“Is that possible?”

Fang Ru opened her mouth, still wanting to guess.

However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu’s words: “Okay, don’t guess.

It doesn’t matter who drew this map or when it was drawn.

The important thing is that it is accurate and precise. It will be of great help for what we are going to do next.

Fang Ru, do you still remember where I told you to wait and see?

This is right here.”

He pointed to a location on the map.
