Chapter 340: The Treasure Map Is Stolen
Zhou Dingcheng rushed into the study with a few guards, but saw that the floor was full of papers, the drawers of the table and the bookcases were open, and the things inside were even more messy and messy, but he didn't find the shadow of the thief.
Moreover, the sound of the thief leaving was heard, and it was very soft, soft as the wind blowing away from the window.
He walked out of the bedroom and said to Ji Chang: "The thief has left, you should immediately go to the other adults to inquire and see if they have any important documents missing?" ”
Ji Chang took the people away, and several guards were still holding knives in their hands, and they followed.
Besides, looking at the bright blade, he was a little unaccustomed, and waved his hand: "Put it all away, everyone is gone, what kind of empty shelves are you putting up." ”
Several of the guards were panicked, and they didn't notice that they had been sneaked all the way into the study, which was a major dereliction of duty.
Besides, when I walked into the study, I was dumbfounded when I looked at the messy paper all over the floor, this is definitely not Xiaojun's technique, Xiaojun's technique is very artistic, and if you steal your things, you won't find out, where is this thief, it's too unsophisticated, you just steal things and steal them, what are you flipping through.
However, he didn't think that the person who came was really a thief, at least the means were very low-level, on the contrary, he was definitely a martial arts master, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to invade and leave so easily.
"Let's take a look, what have you lost?"
Zhou Dingcheng looked at the study that was turned into a mess, and he was helpless, he didn't ask the guards to clean it up, he just wanted to see if something was lost first.
Besides, there was nothing to put here, he didn't bring any documents at all, and he didn't dare to take off the three tips that the emperor gave him, and he took them with him when he took a bath.
As for the terms of the negotiation or something, he memorized them all in his head, and he didn't write them down on paper at all, which is the benefit of having a super memory.
He was worried about the other people now, they had the secret orders and all kinds of documents with them, and those secret orders should not be lost, otherwise they would be annoying.
"You guys go out first." Besides, he commanded the guards.
"My lord, ...... here," one of the guards pointed to the paper on the ground, trying to stay and help clean it up.
"I'll just clean it up myself, you don't know how to clean it up." Besides.
The guards all withdrew, and came to several places, where he had hidden the treasure map that he had just forged, and three parts had been stolen, and only two pieces remained, which he had placed at the foot of the table.
I don't know if it's because the time is too tight, or if the thief thinks that the table legs will not be a good thing, so he didn't move these two pieces.
Besides, they looked at each other with Zhou Dingcheng and smiled bitterly, they also deliberately arranged for Xiao Jun to steal these treasure maps, but I didn't expect that before Xiao Jun took action, someone would take the lead, which is too coincidental.
At this time, Xiaojun also hurriedly walked in, confused: "What's the matter, you arranged someone else to do this?" ”
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "Who did I arrange, we were really patronized by the gentleman on the beam." ”
"What?" Jun was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
"I really thought it was arranged by you else, so I didn't intercept it, you know, you know, you won't let that bastard run away and rob my business." Jun laughed.
"What have you lost, have you figured it out?" Zhou Dingcheng asked.
"I didn't lose anything, there was nothing here, just some words that I didn't have to write, they didn't form chapters at all, those were useless, and there were three pieces of the treasure map missing." Besides, he laughed.
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and they can't help laughing.
What is going on, I was going to arrange my own people to do a fake robbery, but I didn't expect that someone really fulfilled them and took the initiative to steal it.
"It can't be such a coincidence, you only remembered the idea in the afternoon, and then started to forge the treasure map, how come someone came to steal it as soon as it was done, there is no such coincidence in the world?" Jun couldn't figure it out.
Besides, he said with a smile: "The people who came may not know about the treasure map, it is estimated that it is to steal documents and materials, they think that I am the ambassador of plenipotentiary negotiations this time, and I must have extremely important documents in my hand, and he must have come for this purpose." It's a pity that I didn't find anything, and when I saw a few pictures, I guess I thought of the treasure map, so I naturally took it. Thieves don't go empty. Besides.
"Well, it makes sense to say that, I guess that's it, and then what should we do?" Jun was a little dumbfounded, he had nothing to do.
"Tomorrow, I will still let Brother Zhuo spread the news, anyway, no one knows who the thief is and which gang it is, let Brother Zhuo continue to contact the buyer, and we will do business as usual."
"But the picture has been stolen, how can this business be done?" Jun wondered.
"That's not easy, why don't I forge another one tomorrow?" Besides.
"Then what about me, continue to look for Datong Mansion and the Governor's Yamen?" Zhou Dingcheng asked,
"Well, you go to them right away, and say that there has been a major theft at the inn, and one of my family heirlooms has been stolen by thieves, and I ask them to help me find it. Try to be as serious as possible. Besides.
"Okay." Zhou Dingcheng went out and took people to knock on the door of Datong Mansion and the governor's yamen overnight.
Besides, after putting away all the messy papers on the floor, putting them on the table, and simply putting away the bookcase, I sat at my desk and thought about the strange things about tonight.
Jun sat across from him, resting his feet on his desk, also leaning back in his chair and recalling the scene when the thief went out.
He could have intercepted the man, or at least discovered his origin, but he didn't know if it was something else that had been arranged, and after a moment's hesitation, the thief was gone.
There are very few people who know about this matter, that is, with Xiaojun, Zhou Dingcheng, Zhuo Maolin and Murong Master and Apprentice, the rest of the people don't know, so the possibility of thieves coming to the treasure map is zero.
Now that Murong Yanran hasn't appeared yet, she probably thinks that this is a fake case made by Xiaojun, probably she doesn't know that the study has really been stolen.
Of course, this is also a good thing, a good thing that can't be sought, after all, this time it is really stolen, and it is definitely not adulterated, and this matter will spread all over Datong City tomorrow.
After a while, Ji Chang asked to see him outside the door, and after coming in, he reported to the situation, saying that the residence of the other people was not patronized by thieves, and he did not lose anything.
"Alright, please gather the adults in the courtyard, and I'll just say a few words." Besides.
Besides, in front of the courtyard of the main building of the post house, where the negotiators lived.
These people were woken up by Ji Chang one by one, and before they went back to bed, they were pulled up and taken to the courtyard, all of them were sleepy-eyed, and a few people obviously drank too much last night and were still drunk.
"I said, Lord Chincha, what's wrong? The big night called us out to gather. An official asked.
Ji Chang just asked if they had lost anything and if any outsiders had broken in, but he didn't say anything. But some of them had heard of it, and it might have been visited by thieves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb everyone's sleep in the middle of the night, but I can't help it, someone sneaked into my study just now to steal something, so I called someone to ask, and I have a few more important words to say." Besides, he said politely.
"Cincha-sama was stolen by thieves? What important documents did you lose or not? Cao Delin, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was taken aback.
"I didn't lose any documents, but one of my extremely beloved ancestral treasures was stolen by thieves." Besides, he sighed for a long time, with a painful expression.
"It turned out that I lost valuables, and the loss was indeed not small, but it was much better than losing the documents of the imperial court." Cao Delin said with a sigh of relief.
"What Lord Cao said is extremely true, no matter how valuable the treasure is, it has a price, and the documents of the imperial court, especially some important secret documents, must not be lost, this is not a question of how much money, but a matter of whether the head is not there. So I'm here to say a few words, and I ask you to be careful, because the thieves haven't stolen anything from me, and it's hard to say that I won't use my brains on you in the future. In the future, all important documents and secret documents must be kept close to each other, and they must not be faked by others. Besides.
"Lord Qincha, how is this possible, there are people patrolling and guarding the inner and outer three floors here, how did the thief get in?" One person asked.
"The adult asked me. I don't know how the thief got in or how he escaped, but there is no problem with the guards, and there is no weakness in the internal and external guards, so I can only say that this thief is too powerful. And said with a wry smile.
Besides, he inspected the officials present, and then said in surprise: "Why didn't two adults come out?" Are they unwell or what's wrong? ”
Cao Delin is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials every day, and he knows the movements of these officials best, he smiled bitterly: "Lord Qincha, these two adults went out to visit friends and eat wine the day before yesterday, and now they haven't come back, so they probably linger somewhere." ”
Besides, his heart sank: "Come on, take the servants of the two adults to the governor's yamen, and ask them to search the Qinglou Washe in the whole city, and be sure to find these two adults and invite them back." ”
Ji Chang immediately arranged for people to go to the servants of those two people.
"In the future, if you want to go out to visit relatives and friends, you must first explain where you are going, and leave the location of the emergency contact, and you must not stay up all night, it is not safe in the city now. I would like to remind you one last sentence: Now we are not in the capital, but at the border pass, and crossing the border pass is enemy territory, please respect yourself. ”
Besides, after saying that, he turned around and left, he was a little nervous, don't have an accident with those two officials, if something happens, it will be annoying.
It is likely that all of these officials had secret orders with them, and the two officials who had gone out and did not return were no exception, and it was difficult to say what the consequences would have if some secret orders that he did not even know had fallen into the hands of the Tatars.
"Ji Chang, you go to the barracks and transfer a thousand people to join the search team, be sure to bring these two adults back to me tomorrow morning, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die." And he commanded.
"It can't be that serious, right? These adults are just used to being careless. Ji Chang smiled bitterly.
