Chapter 232: Misfortune (I)
An Zhi's strange behavior made Xiao Junwan feel at ease, and went to look outside Qin You's study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin You sat at the desk, holding a pen and writing something, while Fang Ruoshui beside him was holding a book in his hand and reading it to him.
Xiao Junwan saw this scene outside the window, but stood far away, not wanting to approach, and couldn't bear to disturb. It is rare that Fang Ruoshui has this heart, whether she was arrogant or sowing discord before, it was all to gain a foothold beside Qin You, as long as she had no bad intentions towards Qin You, it was not a heinous sin, just warn Fang Ruoshui in a timely manner.
"Miss."
Xiao Junwan looked back at Ziying and asked, "What's in the box?" ”
"Anzhi is not wrong, it is something that His Majesty gave to His Highness."
"Is there a clue?"
"It's all ordinary treasures, and nothing has been found."
"That's weird." Xiao Junwan frowned slightly, she could already conclude that An Zhi had ulterior motives for moving the box, and the box was really a reward, it can be seen that An Zhi knew it clearly, isn't this something strange?
"What about the people of Kishi?"
"It was said that he and Tinglan went to the backyard to get Fang Ruoshui's change of clothes."
"It seems that this is the errand that Fang Ruoshui gave them." Xiao Junwan tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, no wonder these two girls had been away for so long, Fang Ruoshui didn't feel strange, this was enough to clear Fang Ruoshui's suspicions, Fang Ruoshui didn't know about Anzhi's move of the box, she just asked these two maids to pick up the clothes.
Anzhi got this gap and happened to run an errand for her real master.
Although Ziying didn't see anything unusual, Xiao Junwan still couldn't rest assured, and while Anzhi had left, she went to the warehouse in person to open the box and inspect it.
"Miss, you see, except for a few pieces of jade, there is only one inkstone and one pen."
She looked at the things in the box carefully, there were only these few things that Emperor Taihong rewarded Qin You, and they were all ordinary things, as Ziying said, there was indeed nothing unusual.
So what is the idea of Anzhi?
She knew that Anzhi had ulterior motives, but she couldn't find any tricks, which made Xiao Junwan more and more anxious, and her eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
"Miss thinks there's something wrong with this box?"
"It can't be nothing." Xiao Junwan didn't dare to take it lightly, took out the jade pieces, and looked at them carefully one by one, the jade texture was ordinary, not a rare thing, just some random rewards, and even called the word "perfunctory".
There was nothing unusual, and in the end, Xiao Junwan had to give up for the time being, turned around and left the warehouse, and the farther he went, the more uneasy he became.
"Actually, I also think that Anzhi doesn't really want to help, she usually follows Fang Ruoshui to show off her martial arts, compared to her low-level girls, how can she be willing to do these rough jobs, let alone help." Ziying sneered with her hands.
"That's why I suspect that this box has been tampered with, but you've seen it, I've looked at it carefully, and there's nothing, what kind of idea did Anzhi have?"
"Do you want to find someone to take a look, why don't I call Hongling, if you want to distinguish antique jade or something, Hongling is a connoisseur, I guess maybe Anzhi and who should be in the outside, and the jade that His Majesty gave His Highness with a fake bag was dropped, and it was really already sold by her, for fear of being discovered, so she personally moved the box."
Xiao Junwan pondered as she walked, this explanation also makes some sense, if Anzhi really colluded with someone to steal jade, where can she fool her by carrying a box, even if those jade are temporarily stored in the warehouse, they will be taken out as furnishings in a few days, at that time, the paper still can't contain the fire, and Anzhi will carry the box, but she will be contaminated with the suspicion of dropping the bag.
But now, there is only one try, so I asked Ziying to find Hongling.
Ling Tianxu also came over later, he made Xiao Junwan unhappy last night, afraid that she would still be angry, so he didn't show up in the morning, and now he can't sit still, he is not angry, how can he know if he doesn't see with his own eyes.
He stood in front of the door, saw Xiao Junwan and the others at a loss around a box, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Hongling is a treasure." Xiao Junwan said.
"What a baby, let me see it too."
Hongling looked at the jade cabbage in his hand and was very sure: "This is true, but the color is average, not the best goods." ”
Ling Tianxu glanced at a few jade artifacts in the box, and couldn't help but laugh: "These things are still regarded as treasures?" Any large family can collect a few pieces. ”
"Everything else is true?" Ziying asked.
Hongling nodded: "It's all true, no one dropped the bag." ”
"Where did all this stuff come from?"
"Qi Jun rewarded Qin You." Xiao Junwan's eyes were calm, although she had already felt that Ziying's guess was not accurate, but she still had a glimmer of hope, after all, even if the theft case was detected, at least it was not a conspiracy, but now that Hongling overturned Ziying's idea, it means that An Zhi's actions are still a mystery, and there may be some kind of trap behind this.
"Put things back in and cover them." Xiao Junwan said helplessly.
Hongling put the jade back and said while closing the box: "Miss, these things are really nothing, could it be that Miss is too worried?" ”
Xiao Junwan didn't answer, she never easily admitted that she was too worried, too much was not in the way, she was afraid of taking it lightly, not to mention that this matter was really strange, how could it be too much......
"Wait!" Ling Tianxu suddenly stopped Hongling from closing the box.
Hongling's hand stopped there, there was still a gap in the box, and Ling Tianxu's eyes were staring at that gap, he vaguely saw something at the bottom of the box refracting golden light.
"Open."
Hongling listened to Ling Tianxu's instructions and opened the box.
Ling Tianxu approached, leaned over and picked up the pen at the bottom of the box, took it in his hand and looked at it, his brows furrowed, and said, "If you want to find something, it is it, and so is the inkstone." ”
Ziying was in the clouds: "An Zhi's conspiracy is a pen and an inkstone? ”
Xiao Junwan looked at the pen in his hand and was puzzled: "What's wrong with this?" ”
"This is the imperial pen and imperial inkstone that Lu paid tribute to the monarchs of the four countries."
"What?" Xiao Junwan was shocked, took the pen in his hand, and took a closer look, the pen barrel was embedded with gold wires, and if you took it farther, you could find that these thin gold wires were put together to present a dragon pattern.
The monarchs of the four kingdoms that Ling Tianxu said were the monarchs of the four great powers of Yan, Qi, Zhou, and Ning, and other countries didn't need to bother to curry favor with Lu Guo. What shocked her was not the origin of this money, but that this money was for the monarch, it was a royal thing, and it was hidden privately, and the crime was complicit!
Ling Tianxu saw that Xiao Junwan's soul was not guarded, and he raised his lips and smiled: "Scared? ”
Xiao Junwan hurriedly said: "Quickly put away these two things, don't let people see them." ”
"Those who don't know this thing, rashly hide it, I'm afraid they will be killed." Ling Tianxu said lightly, looking at Xiao Junwan, the smile on his lips did not decrease, "How can you thank me?" (To be continued.) )
