Qin Fan nodded and said, "That's the same."

After a pause, he added, "You continue to send people to keep an eye on that farm."

Li Yuanchun said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Qin Fan squinted his eyes and said slowly, "I'm afraid that the person who stole the silver vault this time is someone else, and the black hand behind this is likely to be Jinyi Wei or someone in the palace."

"What does that mean."

"I'm going to make it impossible for the man in the palace to sit still."

Qin Fan smiled coldly, "Doesn't he like to play cat and mouse games? I'm going to see who's more patient."

As soon as his words fell, Li Fu's voice sounded outside.

"Lord Qiyu, Prince Ning asks to see you."

"Please let him in." Qin Fan commanded.

After a while, Song Yu'er, who was wearing a blue robe and had an elegant face, walked into the house and said with a smile.

"Qin County Order, I want to kill you."

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Stinky boy, you don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say, I'm busy."

Song Yu'er smiled and said, "I heard that the East Factory was stolen, so I'm here to care about it."

Qin Fan pursed his lips: "Fart, you must have come to see the joke, get out of the calf."

Song Yu'er shrugged her shoulders and expressed her innocence: "I really heard the news and came here to comfort the county magistrate."

Qin Fan sneered, "Believe you are a ghost."

Song Yu'er sighed and said, "Alas, if you don't believe me, I really can't help it."

Qin Fan snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to act with Lao Tzu, tell you, grandpa doesn't eat this set, I just want to know how much silver Jinyiwei has lost now."

"Uh."

Song Yu'er's expression froze, and she scratched her head a little embarrassed and said, "Lord County Commander, I'm not joking with you."

He raised his right arm and said, "This is the account book I sent someone to take from Jinling City yesterday, totaling more than 58,000 yuan."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right arm to the table, spread out his right palm, and a delicate bronze coin appeared in the palm of his hand.

After Qin Fan took the copper coin, he flipped the copper coin and observed it carefully, saying, "This is not an ordinary copper coin."

"That's right, this copper coin is really not simple." Song Yuer explained.

"This is the "Son of Heaven Copper Coin" made by a blacksmith shop at the beginning of the minting of copper coins, and it is for the exclusive use of the royal family."

Qin Fan was puzzled, "Son of Heaven Copper Coins? Explain it to me."

Song Yu'er coughed twice, and then explained, "This technology for minting copper coins of the Son of Heaven originated in the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty's coinage process was very advanced, and this is how the Son of Heaven copper coin was born."

"Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Fan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a bright light flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right."

Qin Fan took a deep breath and said, "You go on."

Li Yuanchun bowed his head and continued, "The Tang Dynasty minted copper coins using the traditional methods of forging, hammering, and rubbing.

The advantages of this method are stability and safety, while the disadvantages are fast molding speed, large number of casting, poor quality, and easy to break.

As for bronzes, the level of smelting in our country is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty, so the quality of the bronzes cast is not good."

Qin Fan said with understanding, "So you think that the person who stole the silver should be a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuanchun smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and said, "Well, I suspect that the mastermind behind the theft of silver is the Tang Dynasty royal family."

"Do you have proof?"

"Of course."

With that, Li Yuanchun took out a sheepskin scroll and handed it to Qin Fan.

Qin Fan unfolded the sheepskin scroll and quickly browsed through it.

After a while, Qin Fan closed the scroll and said with his eyebrows locked.

"The above record is incomplete, only three lines of words are written, "Nine Dragons will seize the heir, there will be an injury", could it be that there are other written records?"

Li Yuanchun shook his head and said, "No."

Qin Fan's brows furrowed even more, and he said in a low voice, "Which bastard gave you this sheepskin scroll?"

"It's my uncle."

Qin Fan said in a deep voice, "Since he didn't provide any information, how can you tell that he did it?"

"I found it from my uncle's study, and I think he probably knows a thing or two."

After that, he suddenly looked at Qin Fan with some concern, and said tentatively, "Lord County Commander, should you tear it up?"

Qin Fan glared at him, and said angrily, "You kid is messing around, don't pull me."

"Hey, hey."

Li Yuanchun laughed a few times and diverted the topic: "Then where are the county commanders going next?"

"Where else can I go? Continue to monitor the search for bandits inside and outside the palace to see if they can be found."

Qin Fan said lightly: "Let go of your side for the time being, I'll go to the yamen of the criminal department first."

Although this case has been investigated by Jin Yiwei, he does not need to intervene, but after all, it involves his private property, and it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter.

"Where are you going, Lord Prefectural?" Li Yuanchen asked.

"Punishment Department." Qin Fan replied.

After half a burnt incense, outside the gate of Qinfu.

On the way to the Criminal Department on horseback, Qin Fan still recalled the sheepskin scroll Li Yuanchen gave him in his mind, and he always felt that there was a shocking secret hidden in it.

It's a pity that the sheepskin scroll that Li Yuanchen gave him was only filled with four words, "Nine Dragons Seize the Heir", and the rest of the font was blacked out.

And the strokes of these four words are extremely heavy, and it is obvious that they have been forcibly smeared, and it is impossible to piece together the complete words at all.

"Nine Dragons Conquer the Throne."

"Emperor Li Yuan."

"Boom."

Just as he was lost in thought, the carriage shuddered and stopped.

Immediately after that, there was a sound outside the wheel.

"Master Pony, it's here, we're at the Criminal Department."

"Oh."

Qin Fan lifted the curtain and jumped down, and then said to Liu Zhong, who was standing next to him.

"Father-in-law Liu, I have something urgent to enter the palace, you can help me talk to Father-in-law Zhao, and visit me another day."

"Huh?"

Liu Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement: "Master Ma, where are you going when you come to the Criminal Department today?"

"Enter the palace."

Qin Fan dropped this sentence and walked towards the Criminal Department with Li Yuanchen striding forward.

Liu Zhong looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and muttered to himself, "This horse master seems to have become more and more weird recently."

He shook his head, put the matter behind him, and walked straight in the direction of the prison of the Criminal Department.

After Qin Fan returned to his bedroom, he couldn't wait to take out the parchment given to him by Li Yuanchen.

It is a piece of paper made of sheepskin, on which is drawn a topographical map of the mountains and rivers, and the names of the official warehouses, the storage materials, and the hiding places are noted.

Qin Fan looked at this piece of paper, and his mood was extremely complicated.

The things described above are very important.

If these things can be found, then he will be able to dig up the moths left in the court.

But there are many more truths that must be clarified in order to understand what exactly is recorded on this piece of paper.

Qin Fan put away the sheepskin scroll, then sat on the bed and began to ponder.
