Xilingyue laughed embarrassedly: "No, Guo Jungong is exaggerating, I am ...... Save oneself. ”

Qin Se Wan'er opened his mouth to say something, but at this time, he suddenly saw Du Shanggong hurriedly running over, not even bothering to salute, and whispered a word in Qin Se's ear.

Qin Se's delicate face suddenly changed color.

Du Shanggong immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty to her: "It's all the negligence of the lower officials, and the lower officials are punished by the county chief, and there are no complaints!" When Guo Zhongting saw this scene, he couldn't help asking: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Se hesitated for a moment, and told him the inside story.

"What?!" Guo Zhongting was surprised when he heard this

Very, his face was even more ugly than Qin Se, and he pointed at Du Shanggong and stumbled, "You, you, you...... How...... How could I lose it? ”

Du Shanggong was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he couldn't explain anything, so he could only kowtow deeply and ask for the guilt: "The crime of the lower officials deserves death, and if I fail to take care of Si Zhensi, please give me the death penalty from the county lord!" ”

"Quick, let the prince enter the palace and think of a way!" Guo Zhongting said busily.

Qin Se also thought about this, and hurriedly ordered to go down, glanced at Xiling Yue again, and said perfunctorily: "Xiling lady, I have some urgent matters with the county prince, go first, please take care of yourself." ”

After that, she, Guo Zhongting, and Du Shanggong left in a hurry, obviously going to Si Zhensi.

Xiao Yifang heard Guo Zhongting's voice and was about to come out to greet him, but he only caught up with the backs of the three of them leaving in a panic. He was a little puzzled and asked Xilingyue: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"I didn't say it." Xiling Yue shrugged her shoulders, "You can guess it, it must be Si Zhensi who lost something." ”

However, Xiling Yue didn't expect that the matter was more serious than she guessed.

Two hours later, Li Chengxuan entered the palace and went straight to the Si Zhen Division of the Shanggong Bureau, and sent someone to send a message to her to come over. Only then did she know that Li Qijin's birthday outline was lost!

There were thirty boxes, the seals were not opened, the boxes were not opened, but the treasures inside had turned into a pile of broken stones!

Standing in front of Si Zhensi's treasury door, Xiling Yue looked at the thirty boxes of stones, and felt incredible: "Is it true that no one has ever opened the seal?" ”

"No," Qin Se replied firmly, "The seal was personally affixed by my Monk Gong Bureau, and the big seal was personally stamped by the prince, and it was intact." ”

"That'...... Could it be that someone stole the birth compendium and made a few seals to re-affix them? Xiling Yue asked again.

"Impossible," Qin Se replied again, "These seals were written by me in my spare time, and I can be sure that they are all in my handwriting." ”

"That's someone quietly opened the seal, stole something, and then pasted it back!" Xiling Yue proposed another possibility.

Li Chengxuan pointed to the seal that was opened by Si Zhensi and beckoned to her: "Come and see for yourself." ”

Xi Lingyue walked over to take a look, only to find that the paper used for those seals was very thin, and there was a layer of adhesive on them, and it was impossible to open them untouched and paste them back.

It really didn't seem that anyone had touched the seals, and the box was intact. Xiling Yue fell into deep thought: "Who first found out that something was lost?" ”

"It's Qian Sizhen." Qin Se looked at the person kneeling at his feet with a cold face, "You still haven't replied?" ”

Qian Sizhen raised her head tremblingly and replied to Xilingyue: "Lady...... Yesterday, because the county lord reprimanded the lower officials, the lower officials classified the birth compendium of the four places overnight and put them into storage. Because Zhenhai's thirty boxes arrived at the latest, Xia Guan first put Wei Bo, Xichuan, and Luoyang into the warehouse, and was busy until this morning to take care of Zhenhai's birthday. Considers...... When I opened the two boxes, I saw that they were all stones! The lower official didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to the county lord......"

Xiling Yue didn't hear anything strange, and asked Li Chengxuan again: "Lord Wang, are you sure that when you hand over the Birth Gang, everything is there?" ”

"It's all there." Li Chengxuan confirmed, "At that time, the county lord and the people of the Sixth Bureau were present, and the box was sealed after the counting. ”

"In other words, when these thirty boxes of Birthday Gang were carried out from King Fu's Mansion, there was still no problem, but after two days of entering the palace, they were stolen?" Xilingyue finally sorted out the cause and effect.

"Yes, Sister Yue'er, aren't you a goddess detective? Think about it, where would all this stuff be? Guo Zhongting anxiously urged.

Xilingyue naturally couldn't be sure, but she also gathered a few doubts and asked one by one: "Which palace gate did this batch of birthdates enter the palace from?" Where did they go? ”

Du Shanggong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "I entered the palace from Jianfu Gate, and directly entered the Si Zhen Division of the Shanggong Bureau, and there were two hundred Shence army guards to testify." ”

"What about after entering the Si Zhen Division? Parking in the side hall all the time? ”

"Yes......" Qian Sizhen didn't dare to hide anything, "The first three batches of Birthday Gang are also parked in the side hall. But for some reason, it was stolen from Zhenhai. ”

Xiling Yue pondered for a moment: "Take me to the side hall to have a look." ”

Li Chengxuan also had this intention, and several people went to the side hall of Si Zhen Si together.

There are a total of three locks outside the door of the side hall, and even the windows are locked, which shows that it has become a practice to temporarily store treasures here. A few people patiently waited for Qian Sizhen to open the side hall, stepped inside, looked around, and found that this place was not big, there were only a few tables in the corners, and there were three or three pearl ornaments, which should be bulk goods that had not yet been put into storage. In addition, there is a large open space in the center with an unobstructed view.

Xilingyue pointed to the clearing: "The four batches of Birth Compendium are all placed here?" ”

"Yes." Qian Sizhen replied truthfully.

"Hundreds of boxes, can you fit here?" Xiling Yue was a little skeptical.

"The boxes are all stacked together, barely enough."

After going to Zhenhai, Xilingyue was very sensitive to the "secret room", and when she heard about this case, her first reaction was that there was a secret room in this house, and someone was lurking in it waiting for the opportunity to steal the birth gang. Although she still hasn't figured out how the thing was stolen before the seal was opened.

She turned her head to look at Li Chengxuan: "Lord Wang, you are a master of machine bracketing, come and see if there are any secret passages, secret rooms and the like here." ”

Li Chengxuan understood what she meant, and turned his head to look at Qin Se: "Give me the bead flower on your head." ”

Qin Se didn't know why, but he did it. Li Chengxuan opened the bead flower and handed the largest of the East Beads to Xiling Yue.

The latter immediately understood, took the bead and threw it on the ground, just as she had determined the location of the secret room in Li Heng's house.

Li Chengxuan didn't say much, and began to check the plaques, walls, desks, and windows in the house...... Even the few ornaments in the house were not spared.

The rest of the people didn't know how to explore the secret room, so they saw the two of them busy in the side hall, and they looked like they had a tacit understanding. Qin Se asked Guo Zhongting in a low voice: "In Zhenhai, the prince also investigated the case like this?" ”

"Yes, he and Sister Yue'er have a tacit understanding, and they will definitely find clues."

Qin Se didn't ask any more.

Several people waited quietly like this, until Li Chengxuan stopped his movements and said firmly: "I didn't find any opportunities." ”

Xiling Yue also leaned against the wall and sighed: "I didn't find the secret room either. ”

After hearing this, several people looked disappointed.

However, Xi Lingyue suddenly laughed again: "Since there is no secret room, things are simple, don't you say it, prince?" ”

Li Chengxuan smiled knowingly and did not speak.

Guo Zhongting had the most anxious temper, and hurriedly said: "Ah, don't sell it, say it quickly!" ”

Xilingyue looked at Qian Sizhen again and asked her unhurriedly: "You just said that Zhenhai's batch of birthdates is the latest to be liquidated?" ”

Qian Sizhen nodded: "Yes, I barely finished liquidating the other three batches last night, and this batch only started to be liquidated this morning." ”

Xilingyue deliberately "huh": "But this side hall obviously has only one door, and it's so small." ”

Qian Sizhen suddenly understood the meaning of her words, and her face turned pale instantly.

Guo Zhongting also reacted after hearing this: "Yes, there is only this one door in the side hall!" That is to say......"

"In other words, the four batches of Birthtime Gang have a total of hundreds of boxes, and this side hall is barely enough to put down. And Zhenhai's birthday gang must be parked at the outermost and closest to the temple gate. If Qian Sizhen wants to move the four batches of Birthday Gang from the side hall to the warehouse, there is only this one door, she should move Zhenhai's ones out and into the warehouse first, how could she enter the warehouse in the end? Xilingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Sizhen.
