Coming out of the Zhenwu Military Embassy, Lu Zheng pondered the origin of this thief, and now that he is well guarded externally, and Qingping is rectified internally, who would be so dangerous, even the idea of the Military Embassy Mansion would dare to fight.

However, according to what Liu Junenvoy said, this person is also familiar with the military envoy's mansion, otherwise he would not enter alone and retreat with his whole body, so it seems that he should be a person who practices martial arts.

However, Lu Zheng has promised Liu Junenvoy to solve the case within ten days, so he plans to go to the pawnshop in the city to check, the jade of the military envoy's mansion has not been made into utensils after all, it is just an irregular thing, which cannot attract attention at all, and the thief will polish and process this jade, and then sell it at a good price in the pawnshop. Then he took this huge amount of money and fled.

When you think about it this way, it makes sense.

In the place of plugging, the circulation of goods is only more than the necessities of life, and these jade treasures are relatively rare, so there are relatively few pawnshops in the city.

Lu Zheng walked briskly in front, followed by a few soldiers, and when he walked to the door of a seemingly small pawnshop, Lu Zheng ordered his subordinates to wait outside, and he entered the pawnshop alone.

Lu Zheng opened the curtain, there were also a lot of people in the transaction, he walked straight forward, and when he walked in front of the shopkeeper, he said directly: "There is a treasure stolen from the military envoy's mansion, and the military envoy Liu sent me to search, please cooperate with the investigation." ”

Lu Zheng searched in the name of the Military Envoy's Mansion at this time, and couldn't help but surprise everyone present, and they got up one after another, feeling that this was not a place to stay for a long time. So the people inside walked out one after another, and the shopkeeper was stunned at this time, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "This military master has misunderstood, although there are many people in and out of this store, there will never be such goods in the transaction." ”

"Will it have to wait until it is investigated?" Lu Zheng's words made the shopkeeper have no choice, so he had to follow Lu Zheng's questions and testify one by one.

Lu Zheng took the lead in asking: "The treasure jade of the military envoy's mansion was stolen three days ago, so there can be jade in these three days." ”

"Returning to the military master, there is this jade, but it is just some inferior products, presumably the jade of the military embassy should not be like this."

After all, the shopkeeper took out all the jade stones he had pawned in the past few days, and none of them were treasures.

The shopkeeper said again at this time: "The military master understands it now, this store values faithfulness, not to mention the military envoy's mansion, even ordinary people's families, and they will not go with thieves for profit." ”

Lu Zheng understood it, but he could think that the thieves would not show their feet at will, and the shopkeeper said at this time: "But the military master can go to other pawnshops to check, maybe he can find something." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng did not give up, so he asked again: "Does the shopkeeper know what other pawnshops are in the city?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "The military master should know that now the Dongshou City is relied on by the imperial court as one of the three major barriers in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so the military drills here are important, and they are all vassals for the economy and people's livelihood, so there are only two pawnshops in the city. ”

"The other one is not hidden from the military master, it was opened by a Liangzhou man, this person is also quite famous in the industry, the scale of the store is huge, and you can see a lot of antique treasures in him."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Lu Zheng had already stepped out of the threshold, no matter whether what the shopkeeper said was sincere and true, Lu Zheng had to check to the end.

Wang Huicai has not been in charge of the capital of Anbei for a long time, and such a thing has happened in the military embassy, which makes the Han people here how to wait and see. As long as the perpetrator is still absconding, he will not be able to stop the people's gossip. And he is valued by Wang Hui, and this matter of losing the face of the military envoys under the jurisdiction of the Northern Protectorate must not stop there.

As soon as Lu Zheng thought of this, he was indignant in his heart, so he instructed the subordinate soldiers next to him: "When I go in, you will block the door and don't let idlers disturb it." ”

The soldiers next to him were all looking forward to Lu Zheng, so they promised again and again, and one of the soldiers said: "There is something I want to comfort the general, although we are investigating the case in the public, but Wang Daduhu's temper The general also understands, don't expand the situation too much, so as not to spread to the ears of Daduhu, which is not good for us." ”

Lu Zheng thought about it, what this person said was also quite reasonable, Wang Hui had strictly ordered not to disturb the livelihood of the people in the market, and he should also be measured, and both ends should be respected.

After passing through a few streets, Lu Zheng found the pawnshop in the owner's mouth, and at this time, out of the door of the store came a Hu man from the Western Regions who looked like a hawk-nosed harrier, dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a felt hat, and his eyes were cold. was passing by Lu Zheng, which made Lu Zheng suspicious for a moment. Lu Zheng looked back, and the man stepped on horseback and drove towards the outside of the city.

As soon as Lu Zheng entered the hall, the shelves inside were indeed filled with a lot of gold and silver utensils, and when Lu Zheng looked at the painted pottery horse with a gilded base, the words Tang Sancai flashed in his eyes. There is also a Buddha statue with a kind face and a gilded body, emitting a golden light.

The utensils here are very exquisite, and the jade is also listed a lot, when Lu Zheng locked his eyes on this piece of jade, at this time, the pawnshop owner walked out of the back curtain and said, "What is this military master doing?" ”

When Lu Zheng saw this person, he said: "The military embassy is investigating the case, please bear with the boss." Now that the jade of the military embassy has been stolen, maybe it has something to do with you? ”

"The military master said that the thief is trading here, so please point it out."

Lu Zheng saw that this person's words were not softened at all, so he said: "According to my visit, only your shop is the most suspicious, and this thief is most likely to use the jade from you, and then he may leave the other place." ”

Who knew that the shopkeeper continued: "All the items that my store has collected recently are here, Master Jun, please take a look, are they here?" ”

Lu Zheng was a little angry, who would put the stolen goods in front of the investigator, this was obviously a quibble, so he said: "If the shopkeeper teases me like this again, it will be a crime for not convicting you of not cooperating with the investigation, please think about it." ”

The shopkeeper also said at this time: "I have already thought very clearly, I am an outsider, and I don't know anything about the treasure jade in the palace of the Liu Jun envoy you said, and no one comes here to trade this jade." ”

Lu Zheng didn't have a problem, since it didn't make sense, and he couldn't cross the bottom line that didn't violate the people's livelihood for the sake of the things in the military envoy's mansion, so he endured it, took another look, and quit the pawnshop. However, this person is very suspicious, Lu Zheng can see it, but there is no evidence. Now that he has returned, Lu Zheng is also a little depressed.

Coming out of the pawnshop, Lu Zheng's face was gloomy, and he thought in his heart about the impulsive words to fulfill the promise within the ten-day period, which now seems to be difficult to achieve. This matter is too secretive, and he may not have found the key point, but then again, this Liangzhou businessman is arrogant and unreasonable, and he is also here to handle the case, but this person is competing with him.
