Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 192 Two Locks

Although the man exchanged such pleasantries, there was no surprise on his face.

Xu Chaozong stood on the spot with the wooden box in his arms, not knowing how to explain the situation, and was speechless for a while.

"Ah!"

Until a delicate sneeze broke the silence, Li Guan immediately turned around and pulled the person behind him into the temple, and pushed her aside to prevent her from standing in the wind and catching the cold.

"I said it's cold, so I still have to follow."

"How can I miss such a wonderful scene?"

The small face became more and more charming with the light of the fire, Bai Sanxiu looked at Li Quan's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Did you know it was him?"

Li Quan's expression was indifferent, he turned to Xu Chaozong and asked, "Does Lieutenant Xu have anything else to say?"

At this time, Xu Chaozong regained his composure and tried to calm down, "What does Li Sizhi mean by this? I shouldn't have violated any laws."

Li Yu sneered: "Isn't guarding oneself theft?"

The implication is naturally referring to the wooden box in Xu Chaozong's arms.It is also very easy for Dali Temple to know the movement of Wannian County, so Xu Chaozong did not pretend to be stupid, but said: "Sizhi misunderstood, this is not the box found by Murong Bieyuan, but the Zhang family in Tongjifang the day before yesterday. It was dug in a well. The original owner has claimed the box and returned it to me, so there is no claim of stealing it."

Li Quan didn't refute immediately, but only waved back.

A guard immediately walked in holding another wooden box.It was also a red lacquered wooden box with a four-character key hanging on it, which was exactly the same as the one in Xu Chaozong's arms.

"What Lieutenant Xu means is that the one you have is from the Zhang family in Tongjifang, and mine is from Murong Bieyuan."

"Exactly."

Li Quan didn't speak, just took out a small porcelain bottle, and signaled to the guards on the side.The guard immediately stepped forward to forcefully claim the box in Xu Chaozong's hand. He wanted to resist subconsciously, but the guards were so numerous that he was stopped.

Li Quan opened the bottle cap and poured a little liquid on the key, only to see a puff of fine blue smoke, and the brass lock faded and turned iron gray.It turned out to be an iron lock, but the surface was plated with a layer of brass.

Xu Chaozong's pupils trembled, and the hands in his sleeves trembled.He has been an official for a long time, and it is a basic skill to not show his emotions and anger, so he can seem to keep his face unchanged at this moment.In fact, his heart was already trembling very much, anticipating what Li Quan was going to do.

Sure enough, Dali Sizhi dripped the potion on another key, but there was no abnormality in that key, obviously it was made of genuine brass.

Li Quan put away the potion, and then said: "The treasure chest unearthed in Murong Bieyuan, the key is made of iron and plated with copper, and the brass one is from the Zhang family of Tongji Fang."

"You...why do you say that?" Xu Chaozong struggled to death.

"Because, the one in Bieyuan was made by me."

"..."

Xu Chaozong's face finally changed drastically, and he couldn't help taking a step back.When Li Quan said this, what else did he not understand?This is a game Li Quan deliberately set up to catch him out!
Li Quan said calmly: "Lieutenant Xu's trick of stealing the day and changing the day is also a clever plan. It's a pity that the box is fake."

Xu Chaozong's face was ashen, and he took a few deep breaths before he stabilized his voice and asked, "Since when did you know it was mine?"

"The dossier of the tomb robbery case and the files of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Ancestral Hall." Li Guan said, "But the key hint is in a book, "Secret Art Collection."

This time it was Bai Sanxiu's turn to show surprise.
