Chapter 42: Secretly Searching Jiafu

In this troupe that Nie Wuzheng mixed in, all of them were spies placed in the capital by Xuancheng. This troupe is specially used for the princes and nobles to sing in the house, and they have a certain reputation in the upper class society of the capital, so they can be selected by Yaguifei to sing in the palace. The name of the person Nie Wuzheng replaced is Li Ran, he is a little similar to Nie Wuzheng, and he is not the role of the leader in the troupe, no one pays attention to him, so Nie Wuzheng chose to replace him and enter the palace.

Jia Qianqian and this Li Ran sat in the carriage, discussing how to let him in to replace Nie Wuzheng. Li Ran didn't say much, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "If Miss Jia can enter the cell, she only needs to let the subordinate who pretends to be a food delivery person follow up, and when the jailer is released, she can be exchanged with the young master." ”

This idea is not bad, Jia Qianqian was immediately happy, but immediately frowned again, "There is another point, Nie Wuzheng is wearing an anklet bracelet, and it is impossible for me to blatantly ask the jailer for the key?" ”

Li Ran smiled slightly, "This is not difficult for me, unlocking is my forte." ”

"Really? That's great! Jia Qianqian was finally relieved now, and immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a restaurant, asked the chef to fry a few good dishes, put them in a food box, and took Li Ran to the prison again.

At this time, Lord Zhao had already begun to re-interrogate one by one, but fortunately, it was not Nie Wuzheng's turn yet. Jia Qianqian came to the prison, took out the royal gold medal and lit up the head of the jailer, and said: "My mother likes to listen to the Danjiao singing of this troupe the most, and I heard that she was imprisoned, so she ordered me to send her some food." After saying that, he quietly stuffed him with a piece of silver. Jia Qianqian had a gold medal, and the head of the jailer didn't dare to stop it, but now he had money to collect, and of course, it was even more convenient to let her in.

Li Ran lowered his head, carried the food box, and carefully followed behind Jia Qianqian. Jia Qianqian first gave the food in the food box to the woman who sang Danjiao in the troupe, and then casually came to Nie Wuzheng's cell door and said to the jailer who followed: "Open the door, I'll go in and ask him something." ”

The jailer obediently opened the cell door, Jia Qianqian pushed the jailer apart, and then said in a low voice: "Hurry up and exchange." ”

Li Ran immediately took out a thin wire, tinkered with it in the keyhole, and after a while, opened the lock. Nie Wuzheng hurriedly changed clothes with him, and then put a bracelet and anklet on Li Ran. As soon as the change was made, the jailer came over and claimed that Lord Zhao was arraigning the prisoner and that it was already this person's turn.

Jia Qianqian said secretly: It's dangerous! Let Li Ran follow the jailer through the hall. She carried the food box and followed Nie Wuzheng with her head bowed, and swaggered out of the prison.

However, as soon as I got out of the gate of Dali Temple, I saw that the emperor happened to be in Dali Temple. Jia Qianqian hurriedly said to Nie Wuzheng behind him, "You leave first." Then he walked over and greeted Lord Zhao who came out.

Emperor Yong'an saw Jia Qianqian in Dali Temple, felt strange, and asked her why she came here, Jia Qianqian looked worried: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter is also very anxious when she sees the treasures of the palace stolen, so she comes here to inquire about the case, hoping that the case can be solved as soon as possible, so that the emperor can rest assured as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Yong'an said with emotion: "This treasure was also found by you after a lot of hardship, and now that it is lost, I believe that your mood is as uncomfortable as mine, I came today to urge Zhao Aiqing to solve the case as soon as possible and severely punish the thieves." ”

Lord Zhao was prostrate on the ground, terrified. Alas! How can he solve such a tricky case?

Emperor Yong'an and Lord Zhao entered Dali Temple, Jia Qianqian naturally did not follow up, and hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet, wanting to slip away. Emperor Yong'an suddenly turned around and said, "Qianqian, you can also discuss it together and see how to solve this case." ”

Jia Qianqian, who was about to slip away, stopped his footsteps, and had no choice but to enter Dali Temple again.

In the lobby, Emperor Yong'an looked through the file and said to Lord Zhao: "In Zhao Aiqing's opinion, how did this thief steal the treasure?" ”

Lord Zhao analyzed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case must be committed by a traitor, and the treasure must still be hidden in some corner of the palace." This treasure is not a small thing, it can be hidden on the body casually, at the time when the treasure was lost, there were not many people out of the palace, and they were all inspected by the guards, and they were all some women. Judging by the method of killing the two guards, the thief must have been a man with strong martial arts. The door to the treasure house and the secret door inside are intact, and the thieves either have the key or are charlatans who are good at picking locks. ”

Emperor Yong'an frowned and said: "The key to the treasure house is only owned by the chief eunuch, and he has always carried it with him, even when he lost the treasure, the key did not leave his body, how did the thief get in?" There are so many rare treasures, why does he only need a jade staff? ”

Of course, Lord Zhao couldn't answer the emperor's question, Jia Qianqian knew it, but he had to pretend to be dazed.

"Qianqian, who do you think wants to get this treasure besides me?" Emperor Yong'an's sudden question made Jia Qianqian's heart beat involuntarily, and he said sneeringly: "Your Majesty, this treasure is rare in the world, but I am afraid that there is no treasure that can compare with it, and it may be the most attractive in the treasure house, so the thief takes a fancy to it and does not take anything else." ”

Emperor Yong'an shook his head, "My feeling is that the thief who stole this treasure must be related to Xuancheng, if it is an ordinary thief, at least he should take away those small treasures that are small and easier to hide, but this thief doesn't take anything, only the jade staff, which means that he came for the jade staff." The chief eunuch was also imprisoned in the palace, and I handed them over to Lord Zhao for trial, and it was especially important to see who was suspected of colluding with Xuancheng, and if this thief was found, I would definitely divide his body. ”

Jia Qianqian's heart was beating when she heard this, and she secretly prayed that Nie Wuzheng would not be caught, otherwise, the new hatred and old hatred would really be divided by the five horses. It wasn't until Emperor Yong'an left Dali Temple that Jia Qianqian was able to get out.

When he came to the street, he was wondering where Nie Wuzheng was hiding, and whether he would come to entangle himself. Someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and Jia Qianqian, who was startled, turned around and saw that Nie Wuzheng was still holding a food box in his hand, looking at her with a smile.

"Nie Wuzheng, you better go back to Xuancheng first, it's too dangerous here, and the emperor has begun to suspect that it was done by the people of Xuancheng."

Nie Wuzheng smiled faintly, "Do you think I can go back empty-handed like this?" This time, not only did I fail to get the scepter back, but I also lost the jade medal, how can you tell me to have the face to return to Xuancheng? ”

Jia Qianqian was speechless again, all this was her ghost, but she was also helpless. Why is there such a treasure in the world? This kind of thing should not be owned by ordinary people in the first place, and its appearance in the world will only bring strife.

"Qianqian, tell me carefully, in which direction did the carriage go? What kind of horse is a horse? Is there anything special about the carriage? ”

Fortunately, the carriage really made her lose it, even if Nie Wuzheng found the carriage, it can be said that the jade staff on the carriage was picked up.

"It's useless, even if you find the carriage, if someone else picks up the valuable things in the cart, will they still give it back to you?"

"Just say it, I'll look it up."

Jia Qianqian had to talk about the characteristics of the horse and the carriage, if he wanted to find it, let him find it, as long as he was not discovered by the government, as long as he didn't blame himself, wasn't this result exactly what he wanted?

The scepter and the jade medal were hidden by himself, and Nie Wuzheng was also rescued, Jia Qianqian finally realized the exhaustion after being highly nervous, and after breaking up with Nie Wuzheng, he fell asleep when he returned home.

When Jia Qianqian was asleep, Nie Wuzheng started a new search. Even he himself admired that he had withstood such a big blow, he couldn't complain about Jia Qianqian, because she didn't mean to lose it, he could only complain that God was unfair to him, and that God refused to let the Dayue Dynasty be re-established. If he didn't know the mystery of the scepter, maybe he was just thinking about how to bring Qianqian back to Xuancheng and marry him. But now, when the dream of recovering the country is close at hand, the private affairs of the children can finally be put aside. As long as he has the Jade Seal Scepter, even the world is his, so why worry about not getting Jia Qianqian?

If Nie Wuzheng wanted to find the scepter, he had to rely on these subordinates who Xuancheng had planted in the capital, and he had to tell them how the scepter in his hand was lost again. The shopkeeper of that antique shop, Liu, was the president of Xuancheng in the entire capital, and Nie Wuzheng also respected and respected him. After he heard about it, although he agreed to send someone to find out the whereabouts of the carriage, he also insisted on sending someone to Jiafu to search for it. The reason is: Jia Qianqian knows the importance of the scepter, why is she not in a hurry at all? If someone picks it up and hands it over to the government, then the government can easily find out that she took the scepter out of the palace by following the carriage, and she can't guess the consequences. Now she is not in a hurry, it can only mean one thing, the scepter is hidden by her, and it is impossible for anyone to pick it up and endanger her.

The so-called bystanders are obsessed with the authorities, and the words of the shopkeeper Liu shook Nie Wuzheng's confidence, and he once again doubted Jia Qianqian. Yes, with her character, who values her feelings and is willing to stick a knife in her friend's ribs, she can't abandon herself, but it is also possible that she really hid the scepter, just like in the past when she hid the jade medallion and deceived everyone that the jade medal was destroyed.

This night, everyone in Jiafu fell asleep under the effect of incense, and Jia's father missed the time of the morning dynasty because of this. On the third day of the day, after the medicinal properties of the incense dissipated, Jia Feiwen, who woke up, saw the sun shining into the window, and thought that he had missed the time of the morning court, and when he got up in pain, he found that the house was turned over in a mess, and the entire Jia Mansion was almost three feet into the ground.

After Jia Qianqian came to his senses, when he saw the situation at home, and heard his father and mother say that he had not lost anything, he immediately understood that this must have been done by Nie Wuzheng's people. If the emperor suspects her, he must have let the government come to raid the house openly, so why use the indiscriminate method of incense.

didn't care about freshening up, and rushed out of the house angrily, going to find Nie Wuzheng to settle accounts. When he got to the street, he slowly calmed down, and after he searched, he gave up, and he believed his lies even more.

Slowly returning home, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, even if he took the risk to rescue Nie Wuzheng, he didn't believe in himself. I am cheating, everyone is just half a catty and eight taels.
