These days, Cheng Lan's biggest headache is not the case of the fugitive thief in the alley.

It is the theft of the treasures of Governor Zhang's mansion.

This treasure is a picture scroll, called "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour".

This volume is made by the Li family of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is made for the ink and wash god, the authenticity of this volume is extremely precious, it can be said that it is priceless, Zhang Zhifu got it in the early years, regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, and was usually hidden in the Yamen side courtyard home, and the non-distinguished guests came to the door, and they were not allowed to appreciate.

But it was such a precious thing, but one day when I was entertaining guests, I found that it had disappeared, and even the lock of the door where the object was put was destroyed.

Governor Zhang was furious, someone dared to enter the yamen courtyard to steal treasures! The case was reported, and it was strictly ordered that within seven days, the case must be solved and the lost property recovered.

Mr. Yang took the case from the prefect and handed it over to Cheng Lan.

This case does not seem complicated, but after a preliminary investigation, Cheng Lan only felt a headache.

"Xiaoxiang Lying Tour" is placed in the hidden compartment of the prefect's study.

This hidden compartment was the compartment that Zhang Zhifu had only opened before he moved in, and only Zhang Zhifu knew about its existence, and he did not tell others.

And the key was also collected by Governor Zhang himself, and he never gave it to others.

It has been half a year since the last time Governor Zhang's mansion checked this volume, and there is no abnormal record of the yamen on duty, and there are so many people on duty and people coming and going in the side courtyard, if you check them one by one, when will you find out? Besides, most of the people who come and go in the courtyard are people with status, and he goes to check quickly, who will pay attention to him?

Besides, does Governor Zhang's family want to investigate? If it is checked, the question will naturally be asked more deeply, but if you don't say any sentence well, I'm afraid that you will offend people, the prefect's father, mother, wife, concubine, maid and housekeeper, which one can afford to offend? Maybe one accidentally annoys people, and some of the small shoes will be worn in the future.

Therefore, the more things around us, the more difficult it is to investigate.

Cheng Lan only felt that this case was more difficult than any previous case. Solving the case within seven days is simply a difficult task to complete.

But if the case can't be solved within seven days, Governor Zhang will definitely be furious, and his position as a fast arrester will be a little shaky.

But what can be done? Since this case has reached his head, as long as he is still in this fast position for a day, he will have to be on the top, and he will have to be on the top of the list.

On the morning of this day, he went to several shops selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the city, as well as a few pawnshops, to check the whereabouts of the painting, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the painting, but there was no news of the painting at all.

When he came back from the shop, he went back to the yamen, and then he met Shen Shu.

After hearing Shen Shu's words, the ghost sent the gods, he actually changed into a fast trapping suit and really went to the famous wine shops in the city to check.

In the first and second liquor stores, there was nothing unusual.

He was disappointed in his heart, and laughed at how he could take a nonsense word from others seriously.

But he still made it to the third liquor store.

It's still daytime, and there aren't many people drinking, only three tables.

The men at both tables were eating meat and drinking and chatting, and at the remaining table, a drunken man was lying on the table and only talking nonsense.

In this broad daylight, how can a person drink sullen wine and drink himself. Cheng Lan thought about it, so he looked at it a few more times, and then found a table near the person and sat down.

When I saw it clearly, it turned out that the drunk man was actually a white-faced scholar.

The clean face was sad, and there was a big burden beside him, which looked like he was in a hurry.

Drinking so much when you're on your way?

But he heard the white-faced scholar mutter: "Long Niang, I am responsible for you, Long Niang ......" After saying that, tears flowed down his face.

Long Niang, is it Qi Long Niang in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion?

Wanhua Pavilion is a famous place in the city, and Qi Longniang is the top brand in this Wanhua Pavilion. Cheng Lan has never seen her, but I heard that she is very beautiful and talented, and she is sought after by quite a few people.

Listening to the words of this white-faced scholar, it seems that Qi Longniang fell in love with him, but he rejected it?

How is this possible? The top card in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is also a character who can only be seen by spending a lot of money, how can he fall in love with this poor scholar? Cheng Lan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Long Niang, how can I not know that you have a deep affection for me. But I can't be with you. I'm just a person who has fallen off the list, how can I be worthy of you who is so talented and beautiful? ”

Cheng Lan was extremely puzzled, in this way, is it really Qi Longniang?

Hearing this, the white-faced scholar suddenly shook and stood up: "You wait for me, I will be named on the gold list one day, and I will come to you then." He staggered forward, but his steps were sloppy, and he fell down with the great burden in his left hand.

The burden spreads out, revealing the corners of the clothes.

Then, a long scroll fell out of the baggage and rolled to Cheng Lan's feet.
