Chapter 8 Lost and found Jade Owl Seal

The next morning, Cao Zhi came to visit him.

Cao Miao was very calm, except that his eyes were no longer dull, which was no longer different from usual.

Cao Miao said nothing about what happened last night. He was too tired yesterday and slept until dawn and knew nothing.

Ah Hu agreed, and Cao Zhi didn't think much about it and let out a long sigh. He told Cao Miao that the guards on the night time discovered the thief last night. The thief had passed by the courtyard. He was worried that Cao Miao would be affected. Since it was okay, of course it would be the best.

After listening quietly, Cao Miao took out the jade seal and seal characters he drew last night and asked Cao Zhi if he could identify them.

Cao Zhi was surprised. "Where did this come from?"

Cao Miao's face did not change his expression. "I dreamed."

"I guess so." Cao Zhi didn't think much, and looked down. He looked over and said, "This is like a bird button. I can't explain exactly what kind of bird it is. I can't recognize these words. If possible, can I take them away and ask for advice..."

Cao Zhi deliberately delayed for a moment, looking at Cao Miao with hope.

Cao Miao nodded silently. He knew what Cao Zhi wanted to say. In terms of knowledge, Cao Zhi was naturally the one with the best knowledge in the royal palace, followed by Cao Zhi himself. Cao Zhi was very smart. After studying with Cao Zhi for several years, he had already learned the classics and wrote good poems.

Cao Zhi was so happy that he went with the paper.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to see Han Dong. Ah Hu was Han Dong's informant. It was very convenient for him to meet Han Dong. Moreover, if such a big thing happened, he should also show it and report the situation to Han Dong to avoid Han Dong's suspicion.

Not long after Ahu went, Cao Zhi came back, with a strange expression. He looked at Cao Miao for a long time before he said with a solemn expression: "Brother, are these words you dreamed of?"

"What's wrong?" Cao Miao asked quietly.

"These words can be identified, but they do not know their meaning and cannot be combined into a chapter." Cao Zhi pointed to the four words drawn by Cao Miao from the jade seal. "However, these four words are associated with this bird button, but they may be related to something."

"What?"

Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashed, he turned around and looked, got up and walked to the entrance of the study room, called Qingtao, and told her to guard the hospital door and not let outsiders come in casually, and even they and Ahu should not approach the study room. Qingtao responded, took the broom, and went to the courtyard to clean.

Cao Zhi returned to the desk and lowered his voice. "Does Brother have an impression of Yu Xiao Seal?"

"Yu Xiao Seal? Not at all." Cao Miao shook his head. He really had no impression, no impression.

"The Jade Owl Seal is a seal used to command the school affairs. This famous school affairs seal is also called the Jade Owl Seal or the Xiao Seal."

"Related to school affairs?"

Cao Zhi nodded, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes. "The school affairs were created by Emperor Wu and were not all Caos. They were commanded by the Fujun Academy appointed by Emperor Wu. The edicts issued by the decree are all used with the Jade Owl Seal."

"So powerful?" Cao Miao's heart moved, but his face was silent.

"These four characters are the four characters engraved on the Jade Owl Seal: General Affairs." Cao Zhi pointed to the four seal characters, raised the pattern, and continued: "This is the owl button on the Jade Owl Seal. The owl is clear about yin and yang, and walks at night, and eats snakes and rats, which is in line with the original intention of setting up the school affairs."

Cao Miao lowered his head, looked at the patterns and words on the paper, and thought for a moment. "How many such jade seals are there? In whose hands?"

"There is only one jade owl seal. When Emperor Wu was alive, most of this jade owl seal was in the hands of Emperor Wu. When he went out to fight, he was handed over to the people who supervised the country. In the 19th year of Jian'an, Emperor Wu fought against Sun Quan in the east, and his father..." Cao Zhi paused for a moment, his expression was a little uneasy. Seeing that Cao Miao was in a different mood, he continued: "The father was ordered to supervise the country and stayed in Yecheng and took this seal."

Cao Miao frowned slightly. "So, should this jade owl seal be in the hands of the emperor?"

Cao Zhi shook his head. "This jade owl seal is missing."

"Miao disappeared?" Cao Miao was surprised and exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Zhi nodded.

Cao Miao thought for a while and asked again: "How did he know he was missing? Maybe Emperor Wu gave it to someone else, such as Emperor Wen."

"This is what Emperor Wen said in person. Just like you, my father always thought that Emperor Wu had passed the Jade Owl Seal to Emperor Wen. Until the previous year, Emperor Wen went to the east to go through Yongqiu and asked his father for the Jade Owl Seal. Only then did he know that the Jade Owl Seal had long disappeared. Emperor Wen had never seen this seal since he was made the crown prince, and he always thought that Emperor Wu had passed it to his father."

"Is this happening?" Cao Miao was stunned.

"I was with me at that time and I heard it with my own ears."

Cao Miao was very disappointed. He originally suspected that the person was Cao Zhi last night. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

Who is that person? Why is the school affairs Yu Xiao Seal in his hands? Why did he give me the school affairs Yu Xiao Seal? What is the purpose?

Cao Miao felt like falling into the fog, his mind was messy and he couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, can you... go and meet your father?"

"What do you do?" Cao Miao made a fool of himself, but did not go crazy, but just kept his expression on the verge of being crazy.

Cao Zhi became nervous and stammered: "After all I am young, I can't help but make mistakes in passing the message. If my father could listen to you in person, he might be able to guess more information."

"There is nothing to see." Cao Miao said lightly, crumpling the paper on the table into a ball.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi didn't dare to say anything else. He sat for a while and then got up and wanted to leave.

"Yun Gong, wait." Cao Miao called Cao Zhi. "Can you help me get a strong crossbow?"

"What do you want to do?"

"How could I know that the thief will not come in the future last night? I want to use a strong crossbow to defend myself."

Cao Zhi responded, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.

Cao Miao held the jade owl seal in his sleeve and recalled the passing of last night, especially the figure that flashed by.

Of course he wanted to see Cao Zhi. Not only did he want to confirm whether the person was Cao Zhi last night, he had more things to discuss with Cao Zhi. But he couldn't go immediately, otherwise it would be easy to make people suspicious. "He" hated Cao Zhi for so many years because of the death of his mother Mrs. Cui, and suddenly became close to him, which inevitably made people suspicious, and even Cao Zhi himself would find it strange.

This matter cannot be urgent, you must take it slowly.

In his previous life, Cao Miao experienced unscripted performances. While being deeply tortured, he also benefited a lot.

A performance without scripts is actually not without scripts, but the script is in the director's mind and is not written on paper. Actors cannot see the scripts, so they can only rack their brains to squeeze their potential and give different performances. I hope that one of them can meet the director's desire.

Starting from figuring out the relationship between characters is one of the methods.

The current situation is somewhat similar, or it is slightly better, at least the relationship between the characters is relatively certain. It is not like a real unscripted performance. After the play is finished, you don’t know what your role is and what its relationship is with your opponent.

Cao Miao asked Qingtao to set up a desk under the corridor, leaning against the desk, closed his eyes and rested, and combing the existing information in his mind.

After thinking about it, the school affairs named Han Dong is the most suitable for breakthrough. A poor family who has a secret mission but cannot get any support, and is not a human inside and outside, has a relatively simple relationship.

Moreover, he still has a long-lost Jade Owl Seal in his hand. If you want to inquire about relevant information, it is naturally the most convenient to start with school affairs.

It would be even better if Han Dong could be developed into an informant.
