Qin Se suddenly realized, and asked sharply: "Qian Sizhen, did you do something?" ”

"No, no!" Qian Sizhen hurriedly replied, "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan moved out all the birth compendiums together and put them into the warehouse one by one. ”

"Oh? That is to say, all the birth compendiums were no longer stored in the side hall before they were put into storage, but were moved to the courtyard by you? Xiling Yue asked aggressively.

"Yes...... That's right. Qian Sizhen replied with a snort.

"You're so daring!" Qin Se suddenly became angry, "How precious are these four batches of Birth Compendium, you have been negligent in locking it in the side hall, and you dare to move it to the courtyard?" I ask you, what would you do if someone did something during the transportation process? ”

Qian Sizhen was trembling with fright at the moment, and she was speechless except to say goodbye.

Xi Lingyue didn't believe this statement at all, and sighed to Qin Se: "County Lord, you are too simple, Qian Sizhen said this, you believe it?" As an experienced female official, how could she, as an experienced female official, put all such valuable things in the courtyard and then put them in storage overnight? This black light blinds. ”

Qin Se looked stunned: "You mean...... She didn't do it? ”

"County Lord, the lower officials are wronged!" Qian Sizhen immediately defended, "The lower official did move all the boxes to the courtyard, and all the palace people of Si Zhensi moved them into the warehouse with the lower officials last night, and they can all testify!" She looked aggrieved, "The subordinate is indeed guilty of dereliction of duty and negligence, but he will never steal from himself!" ”

Qin Se listened to her confession, and didn't know who to believe.

Du Shanggong also spoke for his subordinates: "Yes, county lord, it is impossible for Qian Sizhen to lie about this matter, so many people are transported into the warehouse together, and they can't make perjury." ”

Xi Lingyue sneered when she heard this: "It's true that you can't do perjury." But please tell us why you are doing this? Isn't that abnormal? I believe that there are so many people in Si Zhenji, and there must have been people who raised objections last night. ”

Qian Sizhen was speechless for a while, biting her lower lip and not replying.

"What, can't tell? I'll tell you for you. Xi Lingyue leaned against the window lattice with her arms folded and pointed out sharply, "You deliberately delayed the time and did not enter the warehouse." Because you know that Zhenhai's birth gang has been stolen and replaced, once the box is unpacked and put into storage, the matter will not be hidden. So you can drag on for a day, and the longer the days drag, the more suspicious points there will be after the incident, and the more difficult it will be to trace it. And yesterday, the county lord asked about the progress of the storage, and you couldn't hide it, so you could only follow the orders to enter the warehouse overnight. In order to let the matter be revealed later, you did not hesitate to make a big mistake, ordered someone to move all the birthday gangs to the courtyard, and made a special trip to put Zhenhai's boxes in the final liquidation and storage, just to delay for your accomplices for another night. ”

These words are clear and well-founded, and people have to believe it.

Du Shanggong reacted immediately, hurriedly grabbed Qin Se's skirt, knelt down and said: "County lord, the officials don't know anything about this matter!" ”

Li Chengxuan never spoke, and only then did he say in a deep voice: "Come on, drag Du Shanggong and Qian Sizhen down for questioning, block the Shanggong Bureau, and everyone will be interrogated!" ”

As soon as he said this, a team of Shence troops suddenly jumped out of nowhere, and quickly stepped forward to detain Du Shanggong and Qian Sizhen.

Du Shanggong cried and shouted: "The county lord save me, the county lord!" ”

Qian Sizhen never spoke, lowered her head and let the Shence Army escort her away.

Qin Se was so angry that his face turned red, he couldn't bear to close his eyes, and even lowered two lines of tears: "Du Shanggong and Qian Sizhen are both old people in the palace, they ...... It's so disappointing for Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother! ”

There was silence in the room, only Xiling Yue pursed her lips: "What's so strange about this, the more old people are, the more daring they are." I originally thought it was strange that these birth compendiums were all registered in the palace, and even if they were stolen, they couldn't be sold, and there was a risk of being killed, so why did the thieves steal it? Now I understand that it was made by their own people, they only need to change the record of Si Zhensi, and this batch of treasures is not a tribute, and after three years and five years of limelight, they can take it out and sell it! ”

"But if something is lost, the crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable, and it will be imprisonment at least and beheading at worst, aren't they afraid?" Qin Se still couldn't understand.

"People die for money, and birds die for food!" Guo Zhongting was clever.

Li Chengxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since Qian Sizhen deliberately delayed time, it is enough to prove that these treasures are still hidden in the palace, and the top priority is to search the palace." ”

"Search the palace?!" Qin Se disagreed, "Once the palace is searched, things will be big...... Now the Queen Mother doesn't know. ”

"I can't let the queen mother know, she has a sensitive temperament, and if she learns that the birth compendium is lost, she will definitely be cranky." Li Chengxuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "But the palace must be searched, this is not just a birthday gang worth millions of yuan, Qian Sizhen's accomplices are hiding in the palace, and there will be endless troubles." ”

"Since you can't let your grandmother know, how can you search the palace? Besides, we don't have that power. Guo Zhongting pointed out the key issues.

Qin Se was also very hesitant: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hide this matter." ”

"If you can't hide it, you have to hide it, and you can hide it for as long as you can." Li Chengxuan immediately decided, "As for searching the palace, I have to find another reason." ”

"What reason?" Everyone spoke in unison.

"Then it's up to Guo Guifei." Li Chengxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Qin Se, "This matter can't be hidden from her, you go and tell the truth and ask her to make an order to search the palace as soon as possible." ”

That night, Guo Guifei searched for thieves in the palace on the grounds that the dowry jewelry was stolen. After learning the news, the saint ordered the six palace gates of Daming Palace and the nine palace gates of Taiji Palace to be all under martial law, and only entered and exited Chang'an City.

searched for three days and three nights, turning the palace upside down, but there was no trace of the birth gang. To add insult to injury, Du Shanggong and Qian Sizhen committed suicide in prison.

Xi Lingyue, Li Chengxuan, Guo Zhongting, and Qin Se gathered together to discuss this matter, and they all felt that it was very complicated and tricky.

Qin Se blamed himself the most in this matter: "It's all my negligence, if I had urged it to enter the warehouse in time, this kind of thing would not have happened." ”

"I can't blame you, this can't be prevented." Li Chengxuan had the heart to comfort.

Xiling Yue said firmly: "I think it must still be in the palace, so many things, even if they are transported out of the palace in batches, they will not be so fast." She looked at Li Chengxuan, "Lord Wang, do you remember the few secret rooms we saw in Zhenhai?" I think there must be a secret room in this palace, and things are hidden in a secret room. ”

"Not necessarily." Li Chengxuan analyzed, "Even if there are secret rooms, they are located in various palaces. Thirty boxes of birth gangs, it is not easy to quietly move into the secret room, after all, there are many eyes and ears in the palace. ”

"That's right," Guo Zhongting touched his chin, "If I were a thief, I would buy the people from the Shangshi Bureau, and take advantage of the opportunity to deliver vegetables and meat every day to quietly transport the Birthday Gang out of the palace." ”

Qin Se had already thought of this method, but after checking it in the Shang Food Bureau, there was nothing suspicious.
