The council chamber of Senken Villa.

Shangsun Yao, Shangsun Qing, several Elders of Keqing, Shangsun Zhi, and Wei Kang sat around the table.

"Didn't find it?"

Shangsun had a calm face, and his tone was full of anger.

Several elders shook their heads, their faces frustrated.

Qin Sheng, the elder guarding the mine, frowned and said, "I don't know what happened when the mine collapsed, and when we arrived, we only found three disciples who were stunned under the tree. ”

"What did those three disciples explain?"

"It is said that I haven't met any suspicious people all day, only a maid sent by Mr. Qing to deliver wine and food." Another elder guarding the mine, Zhao Jiadao.

Everyone turned their eyes to Sun Qing.

Shangsun Qing nodded.

"I did order a maid to bring them something to eat."

Shang Sun Qing is thoughtful and accustomed to taking care of others, so it is really not surprising that he asked people to send food.

No one else had any doubts about him because of this.

After all, he is the third uncle of Shangsun Jia, and he also advocated that Shangsun Jia take over as the head of the family.

"I've already experienced the wine and food, so there's no problem." Zhao Jia said again.

The problem didn't lie with the wine and food, and the disciples didn't eat it at all, so it would be far-fetched to say that they were stunned by the wine and food.

"I have also examined the three disciples, and there is nothing wrong with their health."

This means that there are no clues.

How did they faint? Who's doing it?

No one can say clearly.

The only suspicious thing was the maid.

After all, it was the only person the three disciples had seen.

"What did the maid say?" Shangsun asked.

Qin Sheng sighed, "The maid was temporarily called away by the fourth lady and replaced with a food box that the maid helped deliver, but the maid who delivered the food box was gone. ”

Shangsun crushed a cup.

"Have you found out the identity of the maid?"

Several people shook their heads.

"At the other end of the kitchen, it is said that the maid is a little raw, but her appearance is the best, and she speaks and acts neatly, like someone trained by our family, so they are not suspicious."

Qin Sheng paused, and then added, "Those three disciples are also saying the same thing. ”

"There is a maid who no one has ever seen before, and our Shangsun family doesn't know anything?"

Shang Sun sneered.

Everyone bowed their heads and did not refute.

Qin Sheng took out a portrait and put it on the table and spread it out in front of Shangsun Yao.

"This is a portrait based on the confessions of those men, and if this maid had been disguised and mixed in with the guests, how could it have been found."

At this point, it's useless to say anything.

Shangsun Qian sighed and instructed Wei Kang:

"It is very likely that the maid has changed her appearance, you should pay attention to the female guest who came here today, who is similar to the person in the painting."

Halfway through speaking, Shangsun Yao added, "Male guests should also pay attention, since they can change their appearance, it is also possible for women to disguise themselves as men." ”

Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible for a woman to dress up as a man, after all, there is still a big difference between the aura around a man and a woman, if a woman dresses up as a man, she will definitely not be able to escape our eyes." ”

Shangsun thought about it, "Then focus on investigating the female guest, at most two days, and the result must be released." ”

No matter how strong the Shangsun family is, it is impossible to keep more than 100 guests in locks all the time, and it is understandable that others will be able to offend everyone for a long time.

"Is there any news from the listening Darkservant?"

Wei Kang shook his head.

"No anomalies have been found so far, only a few people have complained about being forcibly detained."

"Is there anything wrong with that new disciple I have adopted?"

Shangsun asked suddenly.

No wonder he suspects Hexuan, the mucuna in the entire mine is gone, what is Mucuna? But it's something that's extremely hard to cast! Even mining is not easy. The thief can make all those mucuna disappear in a short period of time, and the crane Xuan who can melt the mucuna naturally looks suspicious.

Not to mention that when the mine had an accident, Hexuan happened not to appear in front of everyone.

He already has a very high attainment in casting, why did he come all the way to participate in the casting conference and worship the door of Shangsun's family?

If it was for the sake of earth fire, he didn't have to join the Shangsun family to be driven by others.

If it's for cultivation, then it doesn't make sense. He reached the realm of Wupin Xuantai at a young age, and he thought that he was not inferior to those rare treasures that improved his cultivation, and his hand casting technique, many people used these treasures as a reward to ask him to cast tools.

At the apprenticeship ceremony held especially for him, this Hexuan is very suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Wei Kang shook his head, "I've been sending someone to keep an eye on him in the dark, and he behaves very naturally, and he doesn't seem to know much about what is happening in the mine. And when he was bathing, there was always an attendant by the pool, and the attendant said that he never left the whole time. ”

This means that Hexuan has no chance to go to the mine to steal at all.

"Hexuan, that kid, I look at my talent and temperament...... Since he has revealed the means of casting mucuna, there is no need to refine the mucuna in the mine, maybe the real thief wants to blame him. ”

"Our Shangsun family is quite prestigious in the casting area, and it is normal for the casters in the rivers and lakes to be more yearning."

Shang Sun Qing smiled and patted Sun Miao's shoulder to help persuade.

His seniority is higher than that of Shangsun Fu, and he also works hard for Shangsun Jia, and what he said is not unreasonable, Shangsun Jia is not easy to refute his face, so he has to nod with a calm face.

It's just that the Wuxuan stone of the entire mine is no, and it makes people angry when they think about it.

"Third uncle, it's not that I have to suspect anyone, our family sacrificed so much in order to get that mine, isn't it because of the black stone in it? Who would have thought that it would be stolen before it was mined. ”

"I can't swallow this!"

"Dad, do you think it's possible that the second uncle ......is there?"

Shangsun Zhi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Yes, in the final analysis, today's incident started because of the mine, and the Sun family itself covered the matter of Wuxuan Stone in the mine, how could ordinary Xiaoxiao know so clearly?

If it is a person in the second room, then all this makes sense.

As the saying goes, day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves.

Those who can steal the things in the mine without being suspicious, in addition to thoughtful outsiders, there are also inner ghosts who know everything about the Sun family!

Shangsun glanced at the portrait of the woman spread on the table, and suddenly asked, "What is the movement of the third lady today?" ”

He asked about the eldest daughter of his grandson, Shangsun Pan.

Shangsun has a total of two daughters, Shangsun Pan is at a good age, and the other Shangsun Ming has been weak since he was a child, and he has been sick in bed all the year round, but it is impossible to come out and make trouble.

"Third Miss......" Wei Kang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I was going to come to the front to watch the ceremony today, but then I met with Mr. Daguan's two apprentices, and there was some conflict, and then she brought people into Cuifang Garden and stayed with them alone for a while. ”
