I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 584
Tao Shilang was escorted back to Beijing by the Forbidden Dragon Guards. Without this early leader, Commander She has restrained his actions a lot, at least he will no longer stare at Zhan Feiyu, and wants to "beat He Sheng and He Nuan into tricks".

It's just that these one hundred and two things have not been found. If these things were put in the box, a Lian family would not be able to move them away. Upturned, but still nothing.

"My lord, the craftsmen who built the house have been found..." Xu Qianhu replied in a hoarse voice. In the past few days, he led the people in the Qianzhong Guards to search almost day and night, but these hundreds of things were just like that. Disappeared out of thin air.

In addition, the house was later blown up by gangsters, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is destroying the corpse, so the most likely reason why things disappear is that there is a secret passage in the house.

Xu Qianhu was ordered to find the craftsmen of the year, and after they were imprisoned separately, although the final interrogation was handed over to Mr. Ge, the inspector, Xu Qianhu also attended the whole process. There is really no mechanism in this house, so the one hundred The two missing things became an unsolvable mystery.

"I know, you take someone down to rest first." Lord Qiu said in a deep voice, since the day the thing was stolen, Lord Qiu knew that the thing could not be found.

But Lord Qiu and the others need to report to the imperial court, so what should be investigated, what should be searched, what should be interrogated should still be interrogated, and the result is not important.

"Yes." Xu Qianhu stepped back in response, until he walked out of the chief secretary's gate, exhaustion swept over his body like a tide, making Xu Qianhu in armor instantly hunched over.

"My lord." Deputy Zhu Qianhu who was guarding the door immediately greeted him, seeing that Xu Qianhu only looked tired, so he was relieved.

Fortunately, Zhan Feiyu restrained Commander She, otherwise they would have to go to the command department to report back. If they couldn't find anything, Vice Zhu Qianhu would have to worry about whether the Qianzhong Defense Office would be a scapegoat. Fortunately, Commander She is too busy to take care of himself now. So they only need to report back to Mr. Qiu.

"Let's talk when we go back." Taking a cautious look around, Xu Qianhu got on his horse. There are so many spies and spies in Qianzhong Mansion today.

Deputy Zhu Qianhu also understood that after several people got on their horses and left, a young man in the corner withdrew his staring gaze, turned his head to glance at the chief secretary not far away, and then strode towards the side. Blending into the crowd, the figure finally disappeared.

……

The government couldn't find anything, and they couldn't keep Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Huaixin detained in the government office, so everyone was free early this morning, but they still couldn't leave Qianzhong Mansion until the news from the capital came back, Lord Qiu Make another decision.

"I'll come to the door some other day to thank you." Qiu Huaixin said sincerely, talking about the life-saving grace of Shengxuan Jinlongwei before, otherwise the knife would not have left a bloodstain on the neck, Qiu Huaixin probably still separated his head up.

"Third Young Master, you're being polite. I'll take a step first." Zhan Feiyu smiled back and saluted. Although He Nuan took care of him after staying in the government office for a few days, after all, it was not convenient to eat and live, and she was also in a hurry to go back Go to another hospital to wash up.

After watching He Sheng leave with the carriage, Qiu Huaixin got into his own carriage, followed by Shi Song, the driver waved his whip, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city gate.

Qiu Huaixin leaned against the inner wall of the carriage like a soft bone, "Shi Song, who do you think stole those things? The people from the government office really dug deep to find them, and we were in the carriage at that time. Once in the house, it is impossible for someone to steal it out."

The only possibility is that there is a secret passage in the house, but the mechanism is so ingenious that Master Ge didn't find it out, and then the house was blown up, and the clues were completely cut off.

"The craftsmen who built the house have been found." Shi Song followed Qiu Huaixin in the government office for the past few days and couldn't go out, but he knew all the news that should be known, "Maybe He Shengxuan re-established a secret channel in the house."

So it's normal for a few craftsmen not to know, so the real suspects are He Shengxuan and shopkeeper Jia who is being imprisoned in the prison.

"Heshengxuan is the property of the imperial merchant Liu's family. The Liu family is far away in Jiangnan Road. I heard from my eldest brother that Zhan Feiyu went to Huai'an Mansion the year before last and dealt with the Liu family. All the property of Liu Hefeng, the late third son of the Liu family It was given to Zhan Feiyu, at that time she donated most of the money to the army, and the rest of the fixed property was distributed some money every year."

Qiu Huaixin was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. Even though he had no talent for reading, he still didn't have a good impression of merchants.

Previously, the third house of the Qiu family used their in-laws, the Qian family, to make money, and Qiu Huaixin looked down upon it. After the accident with the third house, it was heard that the business of the Qian family was maliciously suppressed. Mrs. Qian even sold the property at a low price and bought it instead. Tiandi Zhuangzi took his children back to the countryside for refuge.

"The foundation of the Liu family of the imperial merchant is not in Qianzhong Road. If these things are really stolen by He Shengxuan, it must be the work of the people behind the Liu family." Shi Song does not think that the Liu family, a mere merchant, dares to meddle in Qianzhong Road. In the power struggle.

The Liu family is just a tool, even if this token is in the hands of the Liu family, Mr. Liu would never dare to take it. For merchants, this token is a reminder to the king of hell.

"Perhaps behind the Liu family is the old man or a dragon son in the palace." For the first time, Qiu Huaixin realized the lack of information about the Qiu family. If he had already found out the details of the Liu family, he might have followed the vine. The one hundred and two things that were stolen were recovered, so there is no need to speculate and doubt like this.

Qiu Huaixin all made such inferences, and so did Lord Qiu, Lord Ge, and Commander She, but the royal merchant Liu's family was indeed well hidden, and they hadn't found out the power behind the Liu family these years.

It was also because they underestimated the enemy, thinking that the Liu family was just an ordinary businessman, and they hadn't investigated He Shengxuan in depth, and that's why they made the current omission.

"My lord, shopkeeper Jia still hasn't made a confession, and nothing unusual has been found." Master Ge just came out of the prison of the inspector, and after interrogating shopkeeper Jia again, he reported the situation to Lord Qiu.

"So there are only two possibilities. One is that shopkeeper Jia has received special training, so he survived the interrogation by the inspector. Second, shopkeeper Jia is indeed innocent. He didn't know that there was a secret passage in that room."

In the end, shopkeeper Jia is just a servant. The Liu family may have bypassed shopkeeper Jia and built a secret tunnel in the house. It is also possible that shopkeeper Jia didn't know about it.

Master Qiu got up and poured a cup of tea for Master Ge. Compared with Xu Qianhu who had just left, Master Ge's complexion was not much better, and the exhaustion on his face could hardly be concealed.

Thinking about it, the imperial court didn't care how these one hundred and two things disappeared. The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty would only think that the officials in Qianzhong Road were incompetent and let people steal the things under their noses.

After all, Mr. Qiu is the confidant of the Holy Majesty, and there is such a giant as the Qiu family behind him, so the officials in the court have to weigh it carefully if they want to make trouble.

But Mr. Ge came from a poor family, and he still has some contacts in the three-acre area of ​​Qianzhong Road, but it is not enough to be a local official in the capital, Mr. Ge. dismissed from office.

As for Commander She, his situation will not be much better. Mr. Ge is a civil servant, and everything with Sheng Xuan was deployed by Commander She at that time, and hundreds of soldiers were also dispatched by Commander She. Bear the brunt of being questioned.

"It's also possible..." Lord Qiu lowered his voice very low, dipped his index finger in the remaining tea in his cup and wrote the words "Forbidden Dragon Guard" on the table.

To be able to steal one hundred and two things so imperceptibly, if it wasn't for He Shengxuan guarding himself, then only the Forbidden Dragon Guard has this ability. If the token is really in these one hundred and two things, the forbidden It is normal for Long Wei to win.

Mr. Ge held his teacup and stared at the three characters written on the water on the table in thought. Tao Shilang planned to seal up these things at the beginning, and it was Zhan Feiyu who suggested asking for the price of these things.

Tao Shilang also knew that this box of things was a hot potato, or even a reminder, at least he didn't have the ability to safely send this box of things from Qianzhong Road back to the capital.

Instead of being attacked and besieged in the middle, not only the things may be robbed, but also his own life is in danger, it is better to adopt Zhan Feiyu's suggestion and sell the things, and the highest price will get it.

Tao Shilang finally chose He Shengxuan, and only He Shengxuan was the most suitable for bidding, and then lost his things.
