In King Chong's mansion, King Chong had just received the gift from his subordinates and learned that the oracle bone inscription had been stolen in the city.

“…… Lord, who did it, I still don't know, I heard that it was intercepted by people sent by the black market, the oracle bone sacrifice is safe and sound, but the person who was stolen escaped, and his whereabouts are still unknown. As for the black market, it is now surrounded by officers and soldiers, even if anyone wants to steal, they are powerless, even the buyers who bid before, this will stay in the black market, and the transaction will not be carried out for the time being! ”

King Chong said cautiously: "What about the people sent before?" ”

"Back to the prince, the people sent before have not been close to the black market, the theft has already happened, I heard that it is a man in his thirties, this will be the court and the black market have issued an arrest order, even some of the sect organizations in the rivers and lakes, are ready to kill them first and then quickly!"

"Immediately send someone to find out who the buyer is, and who is behind it who wants to get this oracle bone inscription. More importantly, it is necessary to find out who is responsible for the sacrifice! King Chong said sharply.

……

……

Zhao Yuanrong returned to the inn with people, and it was already the middle of the night at the third watch.

When the black market sent people to hunt down the thieves before, Zhao Yuanrong didn't have a chance to meet the thieves, because she didn't bring many people, and in the end she fell short, and it was already the middle of the night when she returned to the inn.

"Princess, I have sent someone to investigate, the buyer is likely to be a subordinate of the fifth prince or the crown prince, but I don't know why they can come up with so much silver, I think it is related to the previous Jinling urban and rural examination fraud case, those people should have used the silver money contributed by each family to buy the oracle bone inscription, and they can compete for favor in front of the emperor!"

Zhao Yuanrong said: "Do you know where the people who ****** are now?" ”

The black-clothed and masked woman under her hand was not sure why her princess could be sure that the person who bought the oracle bone inscription must be the person who ******, she said: "Princess, now those people are still staying in the black market, and the black market is also on guard. I heard that those men had used poison darts on the thieves, and that man should not be able to flee far unless there was someone in the city who answered and hid in his home! ”

Zhao Yuanrong said: "Then we won't stay in the city for a long time, before early tomorrow morning, leave Jinling City, tomorrow there may be martial law in Jinling City, in order to prevent this matter from continuing to ferment, it must be nipped in the bud." Find someone to set fire to the black market, and destroy the oracle bone inscription anyway. ”

"Princess, why is that?"

"Because the oracle bone inscription will never be written by Shen Daxue, the person who wrote this thing must have a special purpose, no matter how it is finally obtained by my father, it may endanger the foundation of my Great Yong Dynasty, this is not what I want to see as a minister!" Zhao Yuanrong said with a nervous face.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" The subordinates took the order and left.

After the others left, Zhao Yuanrong was a little worried: "Who would steal the oracle bone sacrifice, and who did the oracle bone sacrifice come from?" Throughout the Great Yong Dynasty, there are a few people who can write oracle bone inscriptions, this time the incident is too unbelievable, is it that the Confucian Temple intends to embarrass the imperial court? Or is there a mysterious force that wants to threaten the foundation of my Great Eternal Dynasty? ”

……

……

In the black market, Qi Niang came back with people.

Although Qi Niang led people to the broken temple first, but the people of the government took the lead, and the prefect Yamen led people to arrest the thieves first, so that Qi Niang pounced.

"Are you trying to me off? In the end, they are not even as good as the people of the prefect's yamen? Qi Niang was extremely angry with her subordinates, as long as her people could find the thief first, she could save 210,000 taels of silver, not only did she not save it now, if she bought it from the black market again, it would still be extraordinary, and in the end, it was still a question of whether the oracle bone inscription would fall into her hands.

subordinates: "Qi Niang, we are not doing well, please punish you!" ”

"Reprimand? Does rebuke work? Now the prefect and the yamen are sending people to the black market, how dare the black market buy and sell such items, in the end, this oracle bone inscription is likely to be used as a local tribute to the imperial court, even if we get the things in our hands, who dares to hand them over to the emperor so blatantly, do we let people know that the theft is our own doing? Qi Niang said angrily.

The people under his hands don't have Qi Niang's wisdom, so they naturally don't know Qi Niang's worries.

If the oracle bone inscription is lost in the black market, then whoever can find it is a hero of the imperial court. But once the oracle bone inscription was nominally presented to the emperor by the government and was lost on the way, no one dared to go to the emperor to worship it, because it meant that they were the ones who stole on the road.

Now everyone wants to make meritorious contributions and win the trust of the emperor, but no one dares to make a mistake, as long as it involves the government, even if it is the crown prince, the fifth prince and Princess Wenren, they must be cautious.

"Well, go back and find someone to continue lobbying, and now we have to let the prefect of Jinling understand that this thing must be sold to us, and it's a big deal to give him silver, isn't it a prefect? Even if it is the prefect of Jinling City, he must be a greedy and lustful person, in short, whatever he likes, he will give him anything! Qi Niang said.

……

……

When Ji Ning returned home, it was close to the third watch, and the road was already very difficult to walk, many roadblocks were set up on the road, and even people began to search.

As the new science and technology solution yuan of Jinling City, no one dares to search Ji Ning's mansion for the time being, but there will always be people who will come to investigate, depending on the attention of the government in the end.

The oracle bone inscription has always been lost in the black market, but the black market is a matter that the government should not be too lenient, Ji Ning feels that the official government is likely to make a big deal small, after all, now the oracle bone inscription is likely to fall on the side of the prefect's yamen, and the oracle bone inscription should be sent to the capital by the Jinling prefect, and it is no longer used for political games.

"Young master, why are you only coming back now, it's too late!" Yu Ling knew that Ji Ning had not come back and had been waiting at the door of the house.

It's just that she didn't dare to come out and wait, so she sat on a small bench and waited inside the door, looking out from time to time, until Ji Ning came and knocked on the door.

"Went out to do something and just came back. Are you okay at home? Ji Ning entered the doorway.

"It's okay." Yu Ling walked in front with a lantern, and her little nose moved, "Young Master, have you touched anything?" Why does the slave smell blood on you? ”

Only then did Ji Ning know that when he hugged Shangguan Wan'er before, the blood stains on Shangguan Wan'er's body remained on him.

Ji Ning smiled: "I'm fine, don't ask too much, get ready for bathing, I'll go in and bathe and change clothes." Maybe it's the stinky sweat of a day's walking! ”

"Oh." Yu Ling didn't ask much, and when she heard that Ji Ning was going to take a bath, she was even a little ashamed, because as long as Ji Ning went to bathe, she could follow Ji Ning in and serve Ji Ning.
