Chapter 222: The Theft (Part II)
"But this, this kind of height, there can be seven or eight out of ten in the Si Zhen Bureau...... But how do you find it? Yue Zangfeng looked at the large group of people who were isolated to the side, after all, they were all his own subordinates, so he had to plead with a bitter face.
Some people also shouted out for injustice, and even pointed out: "In order to get yourself out, you are talking nonsense like this, framing and framing, it is really ill-intentioned and vicious!" Immediately someone chimed in.
Li Jingshan glanced at the man lightly, and she didn't tell.
"Shut up!" Captain Jian said loudly: "What's so difficult to prove your innocence, check the soles of everyone's shoes, if there is mud on the shoes, it must be a thief." ”
As soon as the words fell, the fourth prince glanced at the ground and sneered. Jian Duwei also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was rubbing his hands helplessly, when he saw Li Jingshan shaking his head and said: "If that thief was committed a crime before, how can he still find it if he washed his shoes again after returning home." ”
Jian Duwei was dumbfounded: "Then, what should I do?" ”
The fourth prince stared at Li Jingshan and raised his eyebrows with a playful smile. The meaning is clear: what else do you have to do?
Li Jingshan was aroused by him, and said calmly: "Your Highness Mingjian, this set of jewelry is too special, and it is a royal stolen goods, and it is impossible to sell dirty in China if it is stolen, otherwise it will be a dead end." It is not such a stupid thief who dares to steal in the Great Interior, so he must have another way to sell the stolen goods. ”
"Something else, a dirty door?"
"This jewelry will definitely not be able to be sold in Dalang country," Li Jingshan nodded, "They can only think about taking it out of Dalang country, and then find a buyer to get rid of it." ”
"You mean...... Overseas trade routes? The fourth prince's face also changed, and he turned his head to Jian Duwei and said sharply: "Immediately notify the Ninth Division, and strictly check the customs caravan!" ”
Li Jingshan smiled and waved her hand, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, they can't take this jewelry away." ”
The fourth prince was infected by Li Jingshan's composure, and also calmed down, and said with a smile, "Okay, you continue." ”
"There are two ways out of the customs, one is the land Silk Road. It's just that this road is far away, and there are too many levels to pass, and if you go out with such an item, the trouble can be imagined. So if I were a thief, I would also choose to go out by sea, as long as I passed the loading and boarding of the ship, everything would be fine. ”
"Therefore, you want to say," the fourth prince was able to keep up with Li Jingshan's train of thought, and squinted his eyes slightly, "Did that thief take the road of maritime merchants?" ”
Li Jingshan nodded, "Or maybe even the maritime merchant behind him instructed him to do it." And the maritime merchants who run the ship are nothing more than a few big merchants such as silk, tea, and porcelain in the capital. ”
She learned and sold the information she had just heard from Ruan Mingyu, and her eyes swept over those craftsmen of the Sizhen Bureau one by one, and the craftsmen she saw felt a chill, and they unconsciously turned their eyes, not daring to look at her.
"There are some people in our bureau who have some subtle connections with those firms." Li Jingshan slowly smoothed out the clues, and her voice became cold: "If you can still find out that the business has plans to go to sea in the near future, then it will be eight or nine and ten." ”
As soon as these words came out, some of those who were isolated because of their height breathed a sigh of relief, while others drooped their faces, worried about getting into trouble.
The four princes also know that some of these craftsmen rely on their family connections to work in the palace on errands, and they are inseparable from the family behind them. I can't say that there is really a family that is obsessed with ghosts, and the people in the palace are instructed to do the tricks.
He frowned, and coldly ordered: "Check!" If you have an affair with a business name in the Si Zhen Bureau, you will find out the eight generations of your ancestors for this king! ”
Someone began to quietly wipe the sweat. Those who came to the palace to work as errands through the relationship door are more or less related to the high-ranking family behind them. Now that he has been ordered by the four princes to investigate strictly, he doesn't know what unbearable things will be found.
Li Jingshan observed these people coldly, and when she saw the people who accused her, her face became very ugly. Some even sweat coldly. She silently turned her gaze, but found that the eyes of the four princes had been falling on her, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and her eyes were curved, but her eyes were deep and incomprehensible.
No one spoke in the room, and it was quiet for a while, only the sound of copper dripping in the corner of the room was left, recording the passage of time bit by bit.
Outside the door, Bangzi remembered that it was already the fourth watch. Captain Jane has not returned. Everyone stayed up for most of the night, and they were all exhausted under the high level of mental pressure. The four princes can still rely on cups of strong tea to refresh themselves, and the people below have to endure hardship. And those few people who have backstage relationships are even more restless, wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads from time to time.
"Ah Shan, you have done a great job tonight." The fourth prince suddenly said, "Come on, give Li Niangzi a seat and tea." ”
The palace people who were waiting in the palace were busy and quickly served tea. The expressions on the faces of the people present were wonderful, and some people's eyes were green.
Li Jingshan lasted for half the night, and she was also sleepy. I was scared to wake up when I heard that I was being named. Hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Your Highness Xie." I dare not be ashamed of my position. ”
As she spoke, the palace people had already placed a chair in front of her. Li Jingshan felt that the hot gaze cast on her could burn her.
As she was hesitating, the fourth prince glanced at her with a smile, hooked his finger at her, and motioned her to come closer. Li Jingshan had to take two steps forward and walked to the side of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince sat up a little straighter, tugging at her sleeves and pulling her so that she had to bow her head closer to him.
"You'd better accept my kindness," the Fourth Prince's voice said with a playful smile, "regardless of whether or not you can solve the case tonight and catch the thief and recover the jewelry." You've almost offended those eunuchs. At this time, don't you hurry up and thank the king for the amulet he sent you? ”
Li Jingshan: "......" She felt even more that everyone's eyes were eager to burn herself to ashes.
Li Jingshan calmed down, took two steps back, saluted respectfully to the four princes, and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of Your Royal Highness, you just did your duty, and you don't dare to take credit." Besides, the lowly superiors and colleagues are all standing, how dare I sit down. ”
The four princes raised their eyebrows and were about to have a seizure, but they saw Li Jingshan pick up the cup of tea and salute the four princes: "It's just that I was talking with a dry mouth, this cup of tea was rewarded by His Royal Highness's compassion for his subordinates, and he was rewarded for his humble position." ”
After that, he drank the tea and put the quilt back on the tray. A set of actions is smooth, neither humble nor arrogant, so that everyone can't find faults, and it also makes the four princes have a seizure.
The fourth prince looked at her with deep eyes, and smiled meaninglessly at the end, "Clever." ”
The scene fell silent again. However, after such an episode, an undercurrent began to surge in the silent lobby. And Li Jingshan felt that every undercurrent was surging from her. She could only ask the sky speechlessly.
After a short time, Jian Duwei finally came back and whispered a few words in the ear of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince's face sank, and he said sharply: "Take down the people!" ”
Jian Duwei solemnly agreed, turned his head to the crowd and said loudly: "Take Zhang Zhihe down!" ”
That Zhang Zhihe was the one who followed this to see the scene at the beginning, and later spoke coldly to Li Jingshan. Hearing this, his face changed drastically, and he struggled to shout that he was wronged. 、
Jian Duwei said fiercely: "Diao Min still dares to quibble!" You are a relative of Zhang Baoliang, the owner of Shengchang Tea House, and you went to the palace on an errand for two years, which is the guarantee of Shengchang Tea House. According to verification, at the end of the month, there was a batch of goods to be transported to Zhengjia, Xuanlang and other countries by sea, and even as far as Heathrow. All the piles are in line, what else do you have to say?! ”
Zhang Zhihe was still struggling and said loudly: "I don't accept it!" Now you have no roots and no evidence, but you believe a few nonsense words of that girl, and you condemn me. You didn't find anything, you were just looking for a scapegoat. I am wronged, I am not guilty! ”
He glared at Li Jingshan angrily, and that look seemed to be about to eat people.
Li Jingshan met his eyes fearlessly, and said awe-inspiringly: "Do you think I can't find that set of jewelry!" I just want to leave one last chance, so that you can find out that you are lost, take the initiative to explain the location of the stolen goods, and fight for a light fall. I don't want you to be stubborn. ”
Zhang Zhihe's face was ashen and he looked at her in disbelief.
"You're just a knife for the Shengchang Tea House. Do you think that now that the knife is broken, will they try to find it back, or will they simply abandon it and get another one? ”
Li Jingshan asked coldly: "If I find those jewelry, do you think Sheng Chang will come to save you?" ”
Zhang Zhihe's face changed a few times, cold sweat trickled down, and finally he said toughly: "You don't want to scold me!" Bluff, you have the ability to find it!"
Li Jingshan smiled contemptuously, no longer paying attention to him, but walked to the footprint again, squatted down, and said to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, please see, this footprint is stained with a little yellow mud on the edge, and there are some dark green velvet on it, which is dried moss. ”
With her explanation, the four princes and Jian Duwei also surrounded her. Jian Duwei exclaimed: "Li Niangzi is really discerning. ”
"Passing the prize." Li Jingshan was praised for being smart for the first time, and she lowered her eyebrows quite uncomfortably. The shy look fell on the eyes of the four princes, and he unconsciously bent the corners of his eyes again.
"This moss crown leaf is very thin and unusual." Li Jingshan turned back to the footprints, and her tone returned to professional confidence: "And I happen to know where this moss is!" ”
Zhang Zhihe's face was like earth, and his feet were so soft that he could barely stand.
Li Jingshan stopped looking at him and gave him the final blow, "Your Highness, General Jian, please lead someone to search the dry well by the west wall of the Sizhen Bureau, which should be the place where the thieves hide their stolen goods!" ”
Zhang Zhihe whimpered and collapsed to the ground.
At this time, no one cared about him, so Captain Jian ordered two of his subordinates to watch him and immediately lead people to the place where Li Jingshan was. After a while, I came back with a tarpaulin package.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have found this!"
The fourth prince took it and opened it on the table, Li Jingshan also saw the things inside next to her, and with an "ah" sound, her heart immediately cooled in half.
