Soon, there were only two people left in the hall.

Li Er looked at Qin Zulai, frowned, and said, "Qin Zulai, you kid, what tricks are you going to play?"

"If the jade seal is really stolen, then my face ...... But it's gone. ”

Qin Zulai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are ministers, they can't steal it." ”

"Moreover, the minister thinks that their purpose is not the jade seal at all, and the so-called jade seal is just a cover to attract the attention of all of us. ”

Hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qin Zulai, "What do you mean......"

"The minister is a little skeptical, but whether this is the case or not, I still have to ask Your Majesty one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Qin Zulai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Your Majesty, there is a ...... hidden in your hand."

After a stick of incense.

Qin Zulai left the Daming Palace, stepped on the smooth marble floor, looked up at the clear blue sky, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

"So...... Are they really going to get together?"

Qin Zulai kissed and smiled, stretching his waist, "Then we can only wait for tomorrow night." ”

The night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City.

It's funny.

............

A day flies by.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, the night.

Imperial Palace, inside the Daming Palace.

At this time, the lights in the Daming Palace were bright, and there were people inside and outside the hall.

The guards have already surrounded the Daming Palace, even if it is a fly, don't want to fly in.

The people of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also stood in a critical place, sealing the last point of access to Daming Palace.

And the roof above the head, the shadow guards also occupy it, ensuring that no one can enter through the roof.

It can be said that the Daming Palace at this moment is really no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground.

The front and back and left and right were all blocked.

Li Er, Qin Zulai and others are already in the Daming Palace.

Li Erduan sat in front of the bookcase, as usual, writing with a brush.

In front of his right hand, the reconstructed jade seal based on the jade seal of the Great Qin Inheritance Kingdom was standing there quietly.

Qin Zulai, Li Xiaoyao, Han Min, Yu Cheng, Liu Hongji.......

The heads of the Praetorian Guard, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Jingzhaoyi Department all stood in the hall vigilantly.

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji were standing aside, chatting about flood control with their heads down.

The whole hall, although there are many people, is not noisy, but very quiet, giving people a quiet and depressing atmosphere.

The candle flame danced, stretching the shadows of the crowd.

"Your Majesty. ”

At this moment, a guard suddenly said, "It's about to be time." ”

As soon as this voice fell, the entire hall seemed to be pressed the pause button, and everyone was stunned.

Li Er was writing with his hand.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling also glanced at each other and no longer continued to discuss official business.

Li Xiaoyao, Yu Cheng and the others frowned.

Han Min subconsciously approached Qin Zulai, and said in a low voice: "Qin County Order, that thief, will he really come?"

"We've already laid a net here, and even a fly can't fly in, so he shouldn't be able to come, right?

Qin Zulai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "Whether you come or not, you will know soon, just wait, the time is coming soon." ”

When Han Min heard this, he felt that Qin Zu would definitely come when he came.

This made his heart both incredulous and a little nervous.

The four are united, and there are shadow guards watching in the dark.

That thief, how can he enter the Daming Palace?

And if he can really come without knowing it, then how terrible this person must be.

He suddenly felt a little scared.

"Your Majesty, the time has come. ”

At this moment, the guard who was monitoring the sound of ink painting on the side suddenly spoke.

Everyone subconsciously looked at him.

Call......

Suddenly, the window, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

The sound was loud, and everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they all hurriedly looked at the window.

And at this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly turned black.

It's as if the whole world has been sprayed with ink.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on??"

"Candles, how did the candles go out!"

"Hurry up, light the candle!!"

The panicked voices of the guards rang out.

Shangshu Yucheng of the Criminal Department hurriedly said: "Yuxi, go and protect Your Majesty and Yuxi!!"

Li Er and Yuxi were both next to the bookcase, and Liu Hongji, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was shocked when he heard this.

Hurriedly said: "Come on, protect Your Majesty!"

They hurriedly rushed in the direction where Li Er was.

There was a lot of chaos around, and Qin Zulai didn't respond.

His eyes were closed, and his ears moved slightly, as if he was listening to something.

It didn't take long for the candle to be lit quickly.

The dark hall soon regained its brightness.

Because this light came too suddenly, for a while, they couldn't help but subconsciously squint their eyes.

And at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded, "Jade seal, jade seal is gone!!"

One of the guards exclaimed loudly.

Qin Zulai opened his eyes and looked at the bookcase.

The pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank slightly.

"This ......" Liu Hongji, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, widened his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao's face changed.

Woo Seung's eyes widened as well.

Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, both of them shocked.

And Li Er, who was protected by Liu Hongji and other guards, pushed the guards away violently at this time, looked at the bookcase, and his face suddenly became gloomy and angry.

"What's going on?Jade Seal, what about Jade Seal??"

"So many people, could it really be stolen by that thief?"

Li Er's anger suddenly sounded.

Han Min felt a sigh in his heart.

Oh, my God!

Really stolen!!

Under the noses of thousands of people, the jade seal was stolen!

This...... Is this true?

Yu Cheng hurriedly walked out of the door, looked at the guard next to the door, and asked, "When the lights went out just now, did anyone enter or leave?"

The guards quickly shook their heads.

"We couldn't see it, but we all had it shoulder to shoulder, and there was absolutely no way anyone could come in or out of the door. The Praetorian replied.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the official of Dali Temple standing at the window and asked, "What about you? Have you ever found people coming in and out?"

The officials shook their heads in the same way, "For some reason, the window was suddenly blown open by the wind, but we stayed outside the window, and no one entered or left. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zulai raised his head and looked at the top of his head.

At this time, a shadow guard jumped off the beam of the room, shook his head and said, "My lord, no one is in the room." ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes were puzzled.

No one walks, no one walks through the window, and no one goes to the house!

The thief, how the hell did he get in?

How to steal something?

And how did you leave?

Is it a retreat??

Han Min really looked at the floor.

Qin Zulai rolled his eyes, how could this hall be authentic.

He didn't pay attention to Han Min, who was open-minded, and he didn't care about the other shocked people, and calmly came to the bookcase.

On the book case, only the four treasures of the study used by Li Er before were left.

The paper is laid flat, the inkstone is placed in front of the paper, the ink block is placed on top of the inkstone, and the brush is poured on the paper.

There was some ink splashed on the paper and on the inkstone.

Thinking that this was caused by the sudden extinguishing of the candle and the guards came to protect Li Er, Li Er casually threw down the brush.

And the jade seal, which was originally located on the right side of the four treasures of the study, has disappeared.

He knocked on the table, listened to the sound of the table, and asked Li Er, "Your Majesty, when the candle flame was extinguished just now, did Your Majesty hear any sound, or any strange feelings?"

Li Er's face was very bad at this time, the jade seal was stolen under heavy protection, once the news spread, he would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone.

He frowned and shook his head, "I didn't hear anything, as soon as the candle flame went out, I was protected, and when the candle flame was lit again, the jade seal was gone." ”

At this time, Qin Zulai was not too surprised when he heard this.

At this time, Shang Shuyucheng of the Criminal Department came over and asked, "Lord Qin, have you found anything?"

Qin Zu looked at him and said, "Not yet, Lord Shangshu, have you found anything?"

Yu Cheng nodded, and then said loudly: "Guard the gate, no one is allowed to enter or leave, the thief is among us at this time!"

"What??"

Hearing Yu Cheng's words, everyone was shocked.

Li Er subconsciously looked at Qin Zulai.

Compared with Shang Shuyucheng of the Criminal Department, who had just taken office, he believed in his son-in-law more.

And Qin Zulai nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the thieves are among us, and they are among these people in the palace. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, their faces changed.

They couldn't help but look at each other, and they all subconsciously distanced themselves from each other.

Yu Cheng said: "We have surrounded the Daming Palace, and it is absolutely impossible for that thief to be able to enter and exit at will without alarming anyone." ”

Therefore...... He didn't go in or out of the main hall at all, that is...... He never went in or out of the temple from beginning to end, and he was among us. ”

"Maybe it's a disguise technique, maybe it's hiding your identity for a long time, but ...... There is no escape from us. ”

"But ......"

He looked at Qin Zulai and said, "The official only speculated about this, but who the thief is, how did the jade seal steal it, and where it was hidden, the official doesn't know." ”

"In short, it will never be hidden. ”

"Lord Qin, many people say that you are the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty, do you have any clues?"

Qin Zu glanced at Yu Cheng and nodded.

Yu Cheng's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Really? really have a clue?"

Qin Zulai suddenly squatted down, knocked on the ground, and suddenly stood up again, knocked on the pillar, and knocked on the wall.

He shook his head and said calmly: "The clues are nothing, who stole the jade seal, the official already knows." ”

"What??"

"Really?!"

Everyone hurriedly looked at Qin Zulai.

Yu Cheng also looked at Qin Zulai fiercely.

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth raised to look at him, his fingers slowly raised, pointing at Yu Cheng, "That person is you......"

In Yu Cheng's eyes, his pupils changed slightly, and his face changed.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Zulai directly turn to another person behind him, and said lightly: "It's you." ”

Woo Seung: "......"

Exercise!!

At this time, Qin Zulai suddenly turned his head and looked at Yu Cheng, whose face froze.

He smiled and said, "However, I think you are also very bold, really, you are more daring than I thought." ”

Yu Cheng's eyes moved, and he said with a stiff face: "This official doesn't quite understand what Lord Qin means. ”

Qin Zulai smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I don't have evidence, it's nonsense." ”

After speaking, he looked at the person he was pointing at again and said, "Jade seal, you stole it, right?"

In the main hall, everyone looked at the person Qin Zulai pointed at, and their faces changed.

"This ......"

"Is it him??"

"How could it be him?"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, their faces full of disbelief.

But they all took a step back at this time and moved away from this person.

Han Min also widened his eyes and looked at this person in disbelief.

He whispered, "Praetorian Guard...... This, Qin County Order, are you mistaken?"

"Lord Liu is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, how could it be the jade seal he stole from him?"

That's right, the person Qin Zulai pointed at was none other than Liu Hongji, the commander of the Praetorian Guards who had just made a move to protect Li Er.

At this time, Liu Hongji's face also changed slightly, and he was pointed at by Qin Zulai, his expression was a little stiff.

He said, "Yes, Lord Qin, you must have made a mistake, how could Ben Jiang go to steal the jade seal." ”

Li Er glanced at Liu Hongji, then looked at Qin Zulai, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?"

Qin Zulai smiled lightly, looked at Shangshu Yucheng of the Criminal Department, and asked, "Lord Shangshu, do you know what's going on?"

Yu Cheng's eyes flickered, and then he shook his head and said: "This official is stupid, I didn't find anything wrong with Commander Liu, and I asked Lord Qin to solve my doubts." ”

Qin Zu glanced at Yu Cheng, and immediately turned to look at Liu Hongji.

Looking at this big man in the Lingyan Pavilion, he said, "Although the candle flame was extinguished just now, the candle flame was not extinguished for a long time. ”

"I just estimated in my heart that it would take five or six breaths at most. ”

"And in such a short period of time, with our position from Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to rush to Your Majesty in the dark, and then hide the jade seal, and then return to the original position pretending to have nothing to do. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

Indeed, time is too short!

Although there was some confusion just now, because of the preparation, the candle was quickly re-lit and the brightness was restored.

In such a short period of time, with the distance they were from Li Er's table, it would be very difficult to rush over, let alone hide the jade seal and return again.

"So ......"

Qin Zu looked at Liu Hongji and the others who were standing next to the bookcase, and said lightly: "Only a few of you don't have to worry about being suspected, you can rush to Your Majesty's side while it's dark, and you don't have to find a way to return to your original position." ”

"Only a few of you have the time and the opportunity to commit crimes. ”

Hearing Qin Zulai's words, Liu Hongji and the other guards all changed their faces.

Some guards hurriedly shook their heads, saying that they hadn't done anything.

Liu Hongji also frowned and said: "Even if this is the case, it just means that we people are suspicious." ”

"Then Lord Qin, why are you so destined, saying that you will do it, do you have any evidence?"

Yu Cheng also said: "Lord Qin, we need evidence to handle the case, you can't just convict them because they are suspicious, right?"
