In broad daylight, it is impossible to climb over the fifty-whip-high fortress wall above the heads of nearly a thousand sergeants around to enter the castle - arrogant and invisible.

Fortunately, it began to snow again, and there were clothes of any color in the arrogant borrowing ring.

Covering an area of 60,000 or 70,000 gu, of course, Maogen Fort can be regarded as a big character, but the aura of arrogance can reach 100 zhang, and if it is replaced by Gu, it is almost 760,000 gu, so Aozong has not yet entered the fort, and he can already feel that there are mages and leading mages in it, and there is more than one person.

Now the arrogant and vertical is basically clear about the value and status of all kinds of mages, although the True Ancestor Realm is dominated by robed mages, but there is only one, and it is easy to get out, and the characters on the scene are still those leading mages.

There are at least four leading mages in this winery, not counting the other ten or so sleeve mages, even if the realm head of this Zubo realm is here, there should be no such pomp, could it be that there are more important people here than the realm head?

If it were someone else, even if he didn't dare to inquire, he was itching in his heart to know, but Ao Zongheng just didn't have this curiosity, and his attention was only on the wine in Maogenburg.

Of course, Ao Zongheng couldn't guess that in this Maogen Castle, there was not one, but seven big people.

The five realm ministers embraced the imperial envoy and the deputy envoy of the emperor, and came to the Maugenburg Winery one step earlier than Ao Zongheng - this is the place where the head of the realm of Zhekan Cammu said just now, the noon meal.

This arrangement is not all private affairs, before the emperor returns to the north to worship his ancestors, there must always be an imperial envoy to come here to see, even if this one does not come, the guide envoy is also coming.

There is the cause and effect of the two ancestors of Emperor Legen Bai and Emperor Xiangfu, since Yitai Qinba Di moved the capital to Jialong Taisha, every time he returned to the north to worship his ancestors, Emperor Shalin would come to live in Maogen Fort for two or three days. Before returning to the north to worship the ancestors, the president of the northbound affairs always has to send an envoy to inspect the preparation of the living and eating in the Maugenbao winery.

The liquor empire of Maogenbao Winery is famous, and almost everyone knows it, but there are very few people who know the food of Maogenbao, just because of the food here, except for the few days when Emperor Chalin returned to the north to worship his ancestors, outsiders have almost no chance to see, let alone taste.

"Taifugen Yiyan, let me introduce, this is the emperor's envoy Qi Danzan, he is here for the emperor's return to the north, and he wants to know about the preparations of your village. "The head of the Kankamu realm politely introduced a middle-aged man with a rather sturdy figure to the imperial envoy.

Yi Yan is the next rank of the empire, the head of the realm should be the third rank of the middle class, and the true ancestor realm is the head of the realm, for example, one level higher, so the head of the Zhekan Kamu realm is the dignified middle and second class Ji Yi title, don't look at it It seems that there are only two levels behind, the so-called lower third class title, it is more accurate to say that it is an honorary title, no position and no power, and the real power and nobles are not the same. can make the head of the Zhekan Kamu realm treat this Taifugen Yiyan so courteously, of course, not because of his identity as Yiyan, but because of his bloodline and status in the eyes of the current emperor.

Although Emperor Xiangfu did not dare to violate the etiquette system set by the ancestors and inherited for hundreds of years, but he did not want his brother's bloodline to suffer hardship, so he announced two other decrees: first, he called the god Xu Chalin benevolent emperor because of Legenbai's posthumous title, and his son was accordingly promoted to the title of Emperor Yuan, although the title still cannot be passed on for a long time, but at least the treatment of the next two generations has been improved. The second grace is that the inheritors of the white lineage of Fan Legen Bai will be awarded the title of Yi Yan, although this title has no real power, but it is also an honor that ordinary people cannot ask for in their lives.

Therefore, this Taifugen Yiyan is a unique hereditary Yiyan of the Great Bogar Empire, and in terms of rarity, it is even rarer than Ji Xuan. In addition, the emperors of previous dynasties have always been close to this family, and it is normal to fold the polite courtesy of the head of the Kankamu realm.

The imperial envoy begged Danzan, he himself was also an official at the deputy minister's level, if it weren't for the imperial envoy's imperial order, it would not be uncommon for him to take care of him in the capital of Kankamu Realm, and he would naturally be very polite to Taifugen Yiyan.

And that Fugen Yiyan, young ancestor art, as early as thirty years old is a veritable master winemaker, unlike many other masters, because of this family background, whether it is the magistrate or the people in the imperial capital, the contacts are quite frequent, so he does not have the kind of arrogant master problem, this meeting, eight words to describe is a harmonious atmosphere, the guests and hosts are happy.

One of the purposes of Beggar Danzan's visit was to take a look at the dining list prepared for the emperor and try some of it.

Before leaving, Qi Danzan heard more than once that the chef of Maogenbao Winery was even better at cooking northern dishes than the head chef in the imperial city, and if he hadn't refused to leave the ancestral realm, he would have been brought back to the imperial capital by Emperor Chalin. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this meal in front of him is the most anticipated meal of the envoy of Qi Danzan.

According to the etiquette of the imperial aristocracy, after entering the table, you should first look at the food and wine list, and you may not be able to imagine the taste of the meal list by only looking at the words, but the name of the wine on the wine list is different - as soon as Qi Danzan saw the name of the fifteen-year-old Qibalelen Sukai, a burst of involuntary excitement instantly traveled through his mind.

Chibalelen Sukai, in terms of fame, is not the highest in the Maogenbao winery, but those who really know the wine of Maogenbao Winery know that this wine belongs to the town level, and it is rare to see more than ten years of Qibalelen in the imperial capital, and this Sukai even said that this is the top Qibalelen, not to mention the fifteen-year-old wine, he is about to open his mouth and wants to try a glass first. Suddenly, a man dressed as a steward broke in, hurriedly bowed to several adults, and wanted to report to the owner.

"What to say directly. Tai Fugen instructed lightly but unrefusably-it is rude to report in front of a group of distinguished guests.

The so-called subtle knowledge, although the vein of the White Emperor Legen, although he has no real power, he is alone in the emperor's grace, enjoys all kinds of preferential treatments, and can survive for nearly two hundred years without decay or destruction, it is really not just relying on the ancestors to accumulate virtue.

The steward hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to disobey the owner's orders, so he had to bow his head and whisper: "Tell the owner, the wine cellar has been stolen." ”

Tai Fugen frowned, his face changed instantly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Which cellar was stolen and how much was lost?"

"Three, the three major cellars were stolen, about two hundred barrels. The steward stubbornly reported the number.

"What? when did you lose it!" Not only Tai Fugen, who was holding back his anger, but also pretending not to hear the seven VIPs, couldn't help but call out at the same time.

As the most well-known top winery in the empire, the annual output of Château Maugenburg, even outsiders, there are many people who know that these two hundred barrels of wine are about 30% of the cellar volume, and a theft case of this scale in Château Maugenburg must be dealt with as a major case.

"Someone went to check it in the morning, it should be in the two or three hours after the inspection."

"Impossible!" said in unison again. Let's not talk about the value, just look at the weight of two hundred barrels of wine, there are not dozens of people plus enough panniers, even if they steal it, they can't take it. And with a dozen mages and a thousand guards patrolling nearby, where did dozens of people enter the cellar from, and how did they escape with two hundred barrels?

"You lead the way, everyone, let's go and have a look" Zhekan Kamu Jingshou, who had been holding back, was the first to break the silence on the scene, he really couldn't sit still. His face just now was actually even more ugly than that of the owner - don't look at the theft of the wine in the Maugenburg Winery, but just now it was not easy to calm down the envoy a little, and now there is such an amazing and strange theft under everyone's noses, he can never shirk this responsibility, and the only hope at the moment is to catch the thief as soon as possible.

The so-called three major wine cellars are all in Maugenburg, and they are not close to each other.

At the scene of the three wine cellars, there are no new ruts of a large number of barrick cars outside the door, there are no obvious signs of damage on the door, and even in each wine cellar, there are still a large number of wine barrels.

If you are not very familiar with the conditions of the wine cellar, it is absolutely impossible to detect any anomaly.

In addition to the underground of one of the wine cellars, there is such a sentence written - Xie Jun is good wine, only gold and silver, and the right is used as wine money. Next to this sentence, there is a pile of oblate gold, gold sheets, larger than gold coins and thinner than gold coins.

According to this man's meaning, he is buying wine, not stealing wine.

In the tightly guarded winery, stealing 200 barrels of wine, and leaving a few gold pieces as money to buy wine, this thief is too rampant to let go!

If you want to arrest someone, you must first solve the case, and if you want to solve the case, you must first understand the suspicious points.

Although the three major wine cellars have different areas and locations, there is no absolute superiority or inferiority of the wine stored in them. Why, then, did the thieves choose to steal from each of the three instead of emptying one cellar?

If it weren't for the fact that even the owner of Taigenfu Village agreed that it was stolen, these seven noble officials really suspected that the steward was lying.

Did the owner and the steward collude to lie? The seven officials almost all flashed the same thought, but they were instantly denied by themselves—what good could it be? Others may still be a little suspicious, but the owner really has no reason to do so.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, what did I say before? The security of the ancestral realm really worries me. In just a few days since I came, I have heard and witnessed two sensational strange cases, don't blame me for colliding, is it really a few adults who have managed the ancestral realm so much, and they are not afraid of losing the emperor's grace?"

Even the negative emperor has spoken out, which shows that he has decided to stand on the opposite side of the ministers - how many unlucky nobles have broken their families, and all kinds of crimes have ended up with a negative emperor?

The ministers quickly exchanged glances, of course they were resentful of the turn of face of the beggar Danzan, but they were helpless - under the noses of the ministers and the imperial envoys, they could commit such a big case in the Maogenbao Winery, which has a deep relationship with the emperor, and whoever dares to say that there is no major problem with the security in the realm is that they don't die fast enough. And this case can't be concealed at all, well, even if it can really be concealed, but this elusive unstable factor cannot be ruled out, and when the guide envoy or even the emperor is in person, who can sleep peacefully?

Let's investigate thoroughly, whether it is the Great Temple of the Guardian Land, or the Ministry of Military Affairs, in order to save your life, you can't save the relationship that can be used. The five realm ministers didn't need to exchange glances to make the same decision in their hearts.
