Xia Jinnian walked in front, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc that no one saw.

After a while, the three of them came to the remote warehouse.

The warehouse was abandoned, and a scorching smell could be smelled from afar.

The warehouse is very large, probably because it was built according to the specifications of storing grain, so judging from the outside wall, it should be enough to be more than 20 fathoms away.

The half-burned warehouse door could no longer be pushed open, but a brand new iron lock hung outside the door.

"Someone has already been here and put a new lock on the door, I'm afraid other passers-by will enter." Xia Jinnian held the iron lock and groaned.

Ji Qiang looked at the door locked by the iron lock, the gate was half burned, in fact, it was burned diagonally from the top of the door to the right, and the lowest point was also two people high.

"Let's go up." Ji Qiang looked at Xia Jinnian, and the two nodded together, and at the same time crossed the gap in the door.

The coachman who stayed below was holding a lantern and guarding outside, and the two people standing in the gap had also jumped in, and the place where they landed was a burnt black place, and the inside of the warehouse was no better than the outside, it was pitch black.

Unable to see anything clearly, the air was also filled with the smell of burning, Ji Qiang wrinkled his nose, took out a fire fold from his arms and lit it, with a bang, with the two people as the center, the gray light spread in all directions.

"That day, Leng Xiang was ten steps away from the door, in the gap in the wall, and found the red tassel" Ji Qiang and Xia Jinnian walked to the wall.

Ji Qiang put the fire fold in his hand, and sure enough, there was an arm-sized pit on the wall, and there were two small stones in it, obviously, this pit was artificially made, and the stones, which seemed to be the rain flower stones of the river beach, could never appear in the storage warehouse, but now they were placed in this pit, it must be to press something.

In this way, Ji Qiang's previous suspicion that someone wanted to blame Song Guogong for this matter became reasonable.

Xia Jinnian picked up the stone and probed it for a while, then put it down, he was thinking about whether Ji Qiang's words were worth believing.

Obviously, someone set up a bureau to pit Ji Qiang for 400,000 silver taels to make her out, and then Ji Qiang found the remnants of the jade and red tassels in the warehouse, suspecting that the real purpose of the person who set up the bureau was actually to blame the gully to the Song State Mansion, such a big thing, Xia Jinnian could not have decided to believe it just from Ji Qiang's words.

But he couldn't understand the reason why Ji Qiang could deceive him, so he wanted to come to this warehouse to investigate, just to ask for peace of mind and help Ji Qiang and the Song family, who were now in crisis.

But Xia Jinnian remembered a point that he had inadvertently missed, and there were some doubts in his eyes.

Ji Qiang took the fire fold to illuminate Xia Jinnian's worried face, and asked, "What are you thinking, what are you in a daze, seeing the traces, can you help me now?" ”

"Do you know what's going to happen to the jewelry shop this morning?" Xia Jinnian's first question came back to his senses and asked Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you know?" ”

"Three days ago, you came to the princess's mansion, the first thing you did that day was to explore all the accounts in the princess's mansion, you can't ignore the 400,000 IOUs that appeared out of thin air, but you didn't do anything that day, but the next day, you went to the jewelry shop with a huge amount of arrears, asked the store manager about something, and then on the third day, you made an IOU of 400,000 silver taels with the lotus, I am curious about what you did during this time, until just now, I have been thinking about this problem."

"But now, I may understand, you have already discovered this matter, and you have been preparing, and you have also set up a bureau for the person who used the ravine to frame Song Guogong, I am an important part of your bureau, and you want to use this matter to lure out the person who is secretly peeping."

Xia Jin began to re-examine Ji Qiang, Ji Qiang narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "I just don't want my family to be implicated." ”

Three days ago.

Ji Qiang just entered the princess's mansion, although the princess's mansion is a royal gift, but in fact it is just a courtyard where a princess on the other side of the grassland came to the capital to live, and the princess later returned to the grassland, and the princess's mansion was vacant, and before Xia Jinnian took over, it had been taken care of by lotus.

The house seems to have everything, but Ji Qiang never believed his eyes, so he took cold fragrant chamomile to check the accounts, the person in charge of the account room was only the apprentice of the original Steward Xu, Ji Qiang inquired about the whereabouts of Steward Xu, only to know that Steward Xu had returned to his hometown, and all the accounts were handed over to his apprentice.

Ji Qiang's sudden audit of the accounts made this man who was just forty very nervous, and soon, Leng Xiang found that there was something wrong everywhere in the accounts, and under Ji Qiang's pressure, the man told the truth, the original accounts had been replaced by lotus, and the accounts were locked in the dark grid.

Later, under the guidance of the man, Ji Qiang found the account and knew about the 400,000 yuan, but in order not to startle the snake, he asked Steward Xu's apprentice to keep quiet and pretend that he didn't find anything.

Afterwards, Ji Qiang took Leng Xiang to the warehouse of the 400,000 goods in the account, but found that the warehouse had run out of water, and the warehouse had been burned down for most of it.

There was almost nothing to be found in the warehouse, connected to the forty approvals, Ji Qiang knew that this matter would not be so simple, but it made her unbelievable that she had unintentionally found Song Guogong's red tassel in the warehouse, how could this matter be done by Song Guogong, and the red tassel was not damaged in the fire, Ji Qiang instantly understood that someone wanted to blame Song Guogong for this fire.

But how strange is it to blame Song Guogong to harm the interests of his daughter, just at this time, the remnant jade of the ravine that Leng Xiang found under the stone in the corner completely appeared in Ji Qiang's eyes.

First of all, the IOU of 400,000 led out of the warehouse, and then Song Guogong tried to make money for his daughter, and finally caused the ravine, if all these are realized, then the Ji family will never have a place to turn over.

Returning home from the warehouse, Ji Qiang saw the lotus flowers passing by her, she asked Leng Xiang to leave the lotus flowers alone, and went back to the room to start thinking about countermeasures, gradually, a plan took shape in her heart, and the most critical one of the plans was on His Royal Highness King Qi, Xia Jinnian.

"So, you already have a plan." Xia Jinnian said.

Ji Qiang nodded, she thought that Xia Jinnian would be more wary of herself, but who knew that Xia Jinnian actually smiled and said, "This king knows, how can you ask this king for help so easily." ”

"If you don't help, it's not impossible."

"Help, how could this king not help." Xia Jinnian picked up the green silk on Ji Qiang's shoulder, Ji Qiang was used to facing Xia Jinnian's teasing, and she didn't care about it, so she made Xia Jinnian feel it, after all, the smell of the warehouse was still very bad.

Just as the two of them were about to leave the warehouse, there was a sudden sound of swords outside the door, and then the old coachman's terrible screams came in.

"Let's go."
