The market was not far from the post house, but the rest of the road Ji Qiao walked very slowly.

During this time, she tried to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say.

After her identity was revealed, Chitose Ye didn't show any unusual expression, and didn't even ask an official how to do martial arts, just walked forward as usual.

However, the more calm he was, the more she felt bottomless.

It's as weird as a thief who is caught red-handed and is not immediately sent to prison, but wanders the streets with the official.

Miss Ji endured and endured, but she couldn't help but speak.

"Lord, since you know my identity, you must be able to guess that I went to the palace that day to retrieve the sacrificial mountain spirit stone. To tell the truth, the spirit stone was indeed accidentally filled in by me, and I also knew that such an act was a blasphemy of the spirit stone, Ji Qiao was willing to accept the guilt, and only hoped that his father would not be implicated in this matter, and he was unaware of this matter from beginning to end. ”

She didn't dare to mention the word "dog hole" again, trying to make her crime sound less serious.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Ji Chi's body is bones, it is indeed impossible to climb the palace wall."

This person's thinking doesn't seem to be on a normal track, Ji Qiao sneered, but he didn't have time to sigh at someone's unobtrusive imagination, and continued to ask cautiously: "The palace seems to be a little different recently, I wonder if the prince has already sent someone to search for the spirit stone, can there be a result now?"

He didn't answer her directly, but asked, "Do you know how many water holes there are in the palace?"

She shook her head wryly.

"Counting the outer palace walls, there are more than 1,640 places in total, and every time it rains, there will be rough servants who are responsible for checking whether the drainage is smooth."

What this means is: You have found the most crowded place to throw stones.

The most important thing is his next words: "The servants who serve in the palace are all brought by Shangjing, and the rest of the people are local officials and slaves in Licheng." The spirit stone doesn't know what to do, do you think, the biggest possibility?"

Ji Qiao finally came to her face, she was stunned, the spirit stone was taken away!

The people brought out of the palace are all measured, and there are many rare things, and the master's reward alone can be exchanged for half a moon to make a living, and it is impossible to secretly hide a stone.

And the local officials and slaves in Licheng are different, they have been cleaning the periphery of the palace for a long time, and they are the first to come into contact with the sacrificial mountain stone, these people have not seen much of the world, only the things in the palace are good, and it is very likely that they will be stolen to supplement the family.

The name of stealing the relics of the Holy Ancestor is too big, whether it is sold or taken home, it is a great crime.

If you are pressed one by one with great fanfare, I am afraid that those people will grit their teeth and dare not take out the things.

The martial law of the palace was imposed on the back, in order to create the illusion that the lost things were extremely valuable, forcing the palace people who had stolen the spirit stones out of the palace to have to sell them.

The purpose of sealing the city gate is to ensure that the spirit stones are still in the city and are easy to find.

Licheng is not big, and there are not many channels for buying and selling.

The sacrificial mountain stone is the size of a palm, slightly blue, and it looks like an antiquity of some years.

The most likely is that it was sold to an antique dealer. And Liufangju as the largest business in the famous porcelain lane, the influence is also the largest, after today's experience, the king shopkeeper must run around to ask, even if you can't find it, it will let people know that someone paid a high price to buy the fresh inkstone.

Liu Chenfang was the imperial craftsman of the Yinyan period, and the inkstone made was mostly based on the cloud pattern coiling dragon, and its style was the closest to the sacrificial mountain stone.

"As the saying goes, money pushes people away, and even if they can't find the real thing, there will be people who try their luck with similar stones. It is rumored that there is also a black market in the antique world of Licheng, which is a place that only people in the industry know, specializing in reselling those things that come from shady sources, and spirit stones are very likely to be mixed in it. After Ji Qiao finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: What a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, this little Chitose is really thoughtful.
