It was already the third day, and it was already the deadline given by Nalan Ye to discover that the treasures of the North Vietnamese royal family had been stolen.

All the people in the Dark Night Hall are under double pressure, as if they have a boulder on their backs, if they can't find clues within the time limit of the prince, then how can they bear the consequences? If the prince has something, that is, they have something, if it is really discovered by His Majesty, causing a series of problems, I am afraid that unimaginable consequences will occur.

Xu Wei was so anxious that he hadn't slept for two whole days.

He analyzed all the information gathered by all parties, but he couldn't find any clues at all. All kinds of roosters and dog thieves even infiltrated Western Chu spies found a lot, but there were no clues about the theft of the royal treasures of the North Vietnamese family.

"Princess...... Subordinates are incompetent! Subordinate......"

Full of guilt and anxiety, but before Xu Wei's words were finished, Luo Qingluan raised his hand to stop him, made a silent movement, and stared intently at the box in front of him.

For two whole days, Luo Qingluan has been thinking about the problems, and almost every link has been revisited. There are doubts, but more of them are things that can't be figured out, whenever it seems that she is about to discover something, but all kinds of contradictions arise, which makes her upset.

Seeing that Nalan Ye's face was becoming more and more solemn, Luo Qingluan could feel his pressure even though he didn't ask. In the case of the Dark Night Hall's dispatch to respond, there was still a problem, and Nalan Ye, as the leader, was absolutely inextricably linked. If he can't find any clues, I'm afraid he will have to ask Nangong Qing for guilt.

Ke Luo Qingluan definitely didn't believe that there would be a seamless modus operandi, there must be something that everyone ignored.

The fifty-six boxes in front of him were still in place, no one had moved, and Luo Qingluan couldn't take his eyes off as if he was staring at a rare treasure. These jewels, gold and silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, coral and jade...... Everything is a royal treasure, but only scattered remnants remain, mixed with stones and sand, obscuring their original value.

When did the people behind the scenes get started? Why did you choose silt, sand stones, and not fakes? Luo Qingluan didn't think that the other party had the ability to do such a trick and would not find a replacement for the fake. Wouldn't it be better to disguise the invaluable gold and silver jewelry, tattered calligraphy and paintings, vases and porcelain?

Could it be that the other party calculated the time and deliberately let them find out after the delivery arrived?

Or...... Is it because at the time of the hand-making process, there were not so many fakes that could not be found for a while, so local materials were used and various stones were used instead? Otherwise, the people behind the scenes have already laid out a big plan and deliberately did this?

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Luo Qingluan's gaze still swept over the box in front of him.

Booming ...... These stones?

Suddenly thinking of something, Luo Qingluan asked, "Xu Wei, have you seen anything abnormal about these stones?" ”

"Princess, what do you mean......" Xu Wei was puzzled.

Picking up an angular stone, Luo Qingluan studied it carefully: "You see, the color and texture of this stone seem to be different from those commonly seen...... Come on, go and pick up a stone from the courtyard outside. ”

Although he didn't know what to do, someone from the Dark Night Hall immediately went out, picked up a stone casually and handed it to Luo Qingluan: "Princess, is it this kind of stone?" ”

"Whatever you want."

Taking the stone, Luo Qingluan put the two pieces together and compared, "Look, Xu Wei, are these two stones different?" ”

With such an obvious difference, Xu Wei could naturally see it, and he nodded and said, "It's the princess, it's really different, but there's nothing strange about it?" The big piece in the box was put in by the people behind the scenes, and although I am not sure when it was put in, my subordinates at least dared to guarantee that it was before the arrival of our people from the Dark Night Hall! ”

He looked at another small one: "This one was picked up from the yard just now, and you can see it everywhere in the capital......"

Suddenly, Xu Wei's voice stopped abruptly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up: "I understand, princess!" As long as the terrain and environment are different, the soil stones will be different, since the stones in the box are different from ours here, it proves that at least these stones are not near our Xichu capital. It can be inferred from this that as long as the source of these stones is found, then a large area is locked, and then pay attention to the search and investigation, there will definitely be clues! ”

I thought of the places I had ignored before, and Xu Wei suddenly came to his senses, like a willow and a flower.

"yes, that's it."

Luo Qingluan laughed: "Although it is not yet certain whether these stones are consistent with those on the outskirts of Beijing, as long as you send someone to check them, you will naturally have an answer." If it's really different, as long as the source is found, then there will be results!"

"Lord, princess, my subordinates will take someone to investigate!" Xu Wei said immediately, eager to fly out immediately.

After Xu Wei left, Nalan Ye's frowning brows stretched a little, "Qingluan, you are still careful." ”

Luo Qingluan smiled, and his tense nerves eased a little: "Don't worry, there will definitely be discoveries, this matter is so serious, it is impossible for one or two people to participate, and those behind the scenes will definitely leave clues." As long as we look slowly, we will definitely be able to find them. ”

Gently holding Nalan Ye's hand, Luo Qingluan nodded, and was about to leave with him, but saw Yuan Xing striding in, with a solemn face, and hugged his fists at the two and said, "Lord Wang, princess, my subordinates have made some discoveries." ”

"Say it quickly." Luo Qingluan came to the spirit and said immediately.

"My subordinates have received the latest news, and the case of the disappearance of the royal treasures of North Vietnam is only related to Dong Wan."

Dongwan? Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye frowned at the same time, as if they were a little surprised.

Yuan Xing nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord and Princess, the brothers below have discovered some information. In Dongwan's envoy team, someone went to Fuxing Casino last night to gamble money, but he lost all his money, and finally took out this in order to pay off his gambling debts. ”

After speaking, he took something out of his arms and opened his palm.

A round pearl appeared in his hand, the size of a dragon's eye, and the surface exuded a layer of rainbow light, smooth and delicate, like a falling miniature version of the moon, attracting people's eyes.

Luo Qingluan immediately grabbed the pearl in the palm of his hand, and a light lit up in his eyes: "This pearl ......"

Immediately returning to the first box, Luo Qingluan grabbed a pearl inside, compared the two, and found that it was the same: "Nalan Ye, you see that these two pearls are almost identical." The size, shape, and color are all the same, if you don't know that this one was brought by Yuan Xing, you would really misunderstand that it was in the box. ”

A cold breath arose, and Nalan Ye said in a deep voice: "Did you ask clearly?" ”

"Yes, my lord! The brothers had already asked, and the man was very drunk, saying that the pearl was given by his master, and that he was going to go back and give it to his mother-in-law, who knew that he had lost the bet. Yuan Xing said the matter again, "But for fear of startling the snake, the brothers didn't arrest that person, Lord Wang, what should I do now?" ”

After a moment of silence, Nalan Ye spoke up: "Go down, closely monitor the Dongwan Mission, no matter who it is, report it immediately if there is any trouble." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Yuan Xing took the order to go down.

In the warehouse of the Sifang Pavilion, only Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye were left, and they were silent and quiet.

In the past two days, although the two of them did not talk about it, but tried their best to explain each other, Luo Qingluan definitely understood the pressure in Nalan Ye's heart. Since he was in power, he has not made any mistakes, whether it is leading the troops to go out or solving other things, he is vigorous and resolute.

And now that there is such a big problem, involving millions worth of treasures, or in such a sensitive period, how can he be relaxed?

"Nalan Ye, do you want us to ......" A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and Luo Qingluan blinked: "Find someone better to start, maybe you can ask for some clues?" ”

Hooking her small chin, Nalan Ye finally had a smile on her face: "Who do you think of?" ”

Luo Qingluan exhaled like an orchid and smiled slightly: "Guess? ”

Looking at each other, they all understood what the other party meant, Nalan Ye took her hand and said: "Aren't you the best at these, do you want to arrest him for your husband, or do you knock on the side and set a trap, and wait for him to confess himself?" ”

"Forget it, after all, for Xiao Yuqi's sake, it's not good for us to do it directly against him, so it's better to send someone to keep an eye on him first and wait for the opportunity to move." Luo Qingluan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "But Nalan Ye, we still have to be careful, after all, it's just a pearl now, it doesn't mean anything, and don't you think this clue is too easy?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Nalan looked at her at night.

"Our people searched for two days before, and there were no clues, and we couldn't even find a suspect, so you can imagine the caution of the other party. In this case, why would the other party give such an important stolen goods to his subordinates and take them out in the gambling house? ”

Luo Qingluan analyzed a little: "The gambling house is a mixed place, and the slightest news will spread all over the capital, if this matter is really related to the Dongwan Mission, according to Xiao Yuqi's character, he will not let his subordinates come here." ”

Nalan Ye pondered for a moment: "What you said is also reasonable, but although Xiao Yuqi is unlikely, the character of the third prince of Xiao is uncertain." Even recruiting relatives is so nonsense, without scruples, if it is really from Xiao Tianci's hands, it is not impossible. ”

"I don't know what Emperor Dongwan sent Prince Xiao to Xichu this time, what his intention was?"

Luo Qingluan muttered that if he could figure this out, he might be able to determine whether they had stolen the treasures of North Vietnam.

Today's Western Chu and Dongwan are indeed the most sensitive periods.

Western Chu annexed North Vietnam, and the power jumped up, and no matter how stable Dong Wan was in first place, he would also feel great pressure. Regardless of the fact that there was no dispute between Xichu and Dongwan in the past, once the form changes, many things will be different, which is due to interests.

There are no eternal allies, only constant interests.

"That's good." Nalan Ye nodded, "You have a more familiar relationship with Xiao Yuqi, and this matter will be handed over to you." And doesn't he have something to ask you, Xiao Tianci's question? ”

"Well, that's fine, I'll meet him later. Nalan Night, you keep an eye on the side of the Dongwan Mission, and as for other clues, you can't give up, especially He Changlong and his subordinates, you must investigate what happened to them from the time they were transported to meet Xu Wei. ”
