It turned out that Long Shaoyang heard that the treasure map was stolen, reached out and touched the letter, put it between his nose, and sniffed it lightly, and noticed the difference. He had received a letter from Miss Zhu twice before, and there was a faint fragrance between the papers, thinking that it was the taste of rouge gouache used in his daughter's house, and he remembered that His Royal Highness King Teng, who was dashing, also teased about it. This letter did not have that smell, and it is no wonder that when I opened it, I felt a sense of uncertainty in my heart.

In an instant, Long Shaoyang's thoughts turned a thousand times, and he suddenly straightened out the front and back outlines: the person behind the scenes first forged Miss Zhu's handwriting to lead him out, and when someone was watching at the door, after he left the Xiao Mansion, then someone sneaked in and put the stolen goods in the room. As expected, the officers and soldiers will come to search, and then "everyone will have stolen goods," and they are afraid that they will be at a loss for words.

Thinking of this, Long Shaoyang was panicked in his heart, and raised his whip to urge the horse to go.

On the bluestone slab, the horse's hooves fly, like arrows off the string.

Ran to the door of the Xiao Mansion, only to see that there was no one, and listened attentively, and the house was quiet as usual. Long Shaoyang's heart was a little calm, and he turned over and dismounted. When a servant heard the sound, he came out and stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse. At that moment, he didn't dare to delay, and went straight to the Xiao Mansion Courtyard-Zhu She.

Long Shaoyang hurriedly walked inside, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard door, he heard a burst of snoring. Following the prestige, I saw the old slave Cheng Bo leaning under a pillar of the verandah not far away, drooping his head, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, and sleeping soundly.

Except for the sound of snoring, there was no sound, and everything was as usual.

Long Shaoyang couldn't help but smile, stepped forward, and was about to ask Cheng Bo a few words. Unexpectedly, Uncle Cheng heard the sound, his body trembled, he woke up, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that it was Long Shaoyang, so he let out a soft "ah", and said a little embarrassedly: "It turned out that Gongzi was back." The old slave had nothing to do, so he leaned against the pillars to bask in the sun, not wanting to fall asleep. It's really old, useless, and falls asleep when I'm free......" said and yawned and stood up.

"You have to be careful, it's easy to catch a cold when you fall asleep here. Long Shaoyang smiled, but he was thinking in his heart: "Could it be that I am too worried?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the noise of people outside the courtyard, and a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in. In a moment, dozens of people formed several large circles, surrounding Long Shaoyang and Cheng Bo in the center.

Long Shaoyang's heart sank: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided, it seems that someone still has set a trap." Thinking in his heart, he saw the officers and soldiers on the opposite side dividing to both sides, and the two of them stepped forward from behind, and the person in front was quietly thinking. The person in the back was a thin man in gorgeous clothes, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and he looked like a gentleman, but his face was a little familiar.

A servant of the Xiao Mansion walked quickly through the crowd and walked to Long Shaoyang, and before he could give a salute, he panted and said: "Young Master Long, this group of officials said that they received orders from the peak and came to do an errand. It's a coincidence of old

The master is on duty, and the lady is not at home, and the little one can't be the master, so he has sent someone to inform the master. They forced their way in, and the villain couldn't stop them, what do you think of this?" he said, raising his hand to wipe his sweat, his face full of anxiety.

Long Shaoyang nodded, and said warmly: "Well, you go, I will handle this matter." As he spoke, he turned to quiet thought, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother An, I don't know what to teach you when you come here today?" Could it be to make up for the regret of that banquet that day, and fight with me, if so, why bother to mobilize the people?"

Jing Si was choked by these words. On that day, he wanted to compete with Long Shaoyang, but he didn't know that Miss Zhujia was killed halfway. He was a martial artist, and he changed on the spot, but it was really insufficient, he thought about it left and right, and he couldn't do it, but when he was in a trance, he was lucky to be won by Zhu Xibing. After this incident, he has been thinking about it, always thinking that if he has the opportunity, he will try it with Long Shaoyang, and he will get his wish.

At this moment, he was embarrassed when Long Shaoyang said the central matter, he was stunned for a moment, and bowed his hand and said: "Brother Long, don't misunderstand, I am not here for private affairs, but for official affairs." Brother Long must have heard that the "Imperial Territory Map" of the Military Machine Hall was stolen by thieves, and his whereabouts are still unknown. His Majesty has decreed that his father-in-law will be in charge of this matter and that the treasure map must be recovered. ”

Long Shaoyang deliberately asked: "I have heard a little about this matter, and the theft of the treasure map is really a great loss to the country." It's just that Long doesn't know, what does this have to do with Brother An's trespassing in the Xiao Mansion?"

Seeing him go around the corner, he said, "This matter is very important, and my father-in-law specially ordered me to investigate it." Shi Cai received a report that when the treasure map was stolen this morning, someone saw a person very similar to Brother Long haunting near the Military Aircraft Hall, and his appearance was suspicious. Brother Long's skills, needless to say, if it is ......" Speaking of this, he paused, and the meaning of his words was very clear, with your martial arts skills, if you go to steal the treasure map, it may not be difficult. As he spoke, he waved his hand and raised his voice: "Young Master Qiu!"

The boy in the Chinese costume came out in response, pointed at Long Shaoyang, turned to Jing Si and said loudly: "Brother An, yes, it's him." This morning, my son sent his father to the morning court, and when he came back and passed by the military machine hall, he saw that he was poking his head out from behind the wall, looking panicked, looking around, and then walking over the wall, the treasure map must have been stolen by him!"

Jing Si nodded, and said coldly to Long Shaoyang: "Brother Long, my brother has a question in his heart, good and dignified, why did you climb over the wall to enter and exit the military aircraft hall?"

At first, when he saw someone come out to testify against him, Long Shaoyang was taken aback, and looked at the prince in gorgeous clothes, and felt that he had met again, and when he heard him describe the situation at that time, he suddenly remembered that this person was Qiu Youwei, the son of the imperial Shiqiu Pavilion of the dynasty. On that day, he took a fancy to his mount on South Street, sang and harmonized with his family, intending to defraud, but was unexpectedly exposed on the spot by the county lord of Zizi and his party, and finally left in embarrassment.

Thinking of this, Long Shaoyang glanced at the two of them again, knowing their meaning, although he was a little at ease in his heart, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and said with a smile: "Long Mou is just a small thing, and he is like a drop in the ocean in Luocheng, which has attracted so much attention from a high-ranking disciple like Qiu Gongzi, it is really a blessing for Sansheng! I think this son must have recognized the wrong person. ”

Qiu Youwei shook his fingers and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you mean that this prince deliberately framed you?

Before the words fell, a Tsing Yi family squeezed forward from behind the crowd, called "General An", turned his head to look at Long Shaoyang, and suddenly shouted loudly: "It's him, it's him who came out of the wall of the military machine hall." Today, the villain drove the old man to the early dynasty, and when he came back, he passed by the military machine hall. At that time, the sky was just dawning, there were few pedestrians, and I accidentally saw someone poking his head out of the wall, and the villain was curious, deliberately slowed down the reins, and whispered what he saw to the young master sitting in the carriage. I saw that the man climbed over the wall and fell to the ground, and an object fell from his body, like a package, he quickly picked it up, put it in his arms, ran more than a hundred steps along the root of the wall, turned into the alley, and then listened to the horse's hooves. The young master and the villain were puzzled, and immediately urged the horse to go quickly and followed. ”

Jing thought quietly: "You can look carefully, don't recognize the wrong person." ”

That Ding A Avenue: "The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense." After the man landed on the ground, he picked up the package, looked up and looked around, his face and clothes I could see clearly, his body was slender, and he had two sword eyebrows like this, which could not be wrong. ”

Qiu Youwei followed: "In order to prevent alarming that person, Ah Da's car fell far behind. At this time, the street gradually became lively, with people and cars coming and going, and it was noisy, which helped us not to find anything unusual by the man. I saw the man riding through the streets and alleys, zigzagging for a while, and finally scurrying into a house. On the way back, I heard that the map of the Military Aircraft Hall was stolen, and it was connected back and forth, and it must have been that person who stole the treasure map. ”

When Long Shaoyang heard this, he felt a chill rise from his back, rushing straight to his neck, cold to the bone, sneering, and said, "Young Master Qiu, may I ask what is the name of that mansion, is this Xiao Mansion not successful?"

Qiu Youwei smiled cruelly: "Hehe, you kid is quite acquainted, and he took the initiative to recruit." Yes, that mansion is the Xiao Mansion, and our master and servant can see it clearly. ”

Jing Si raised his eyebrows inadvertently, the hand holding the long sword tightened, and said to Long Shaoyang: "Brother Long, what else do you have to say now?"

Long Shaoyang said unhurriedly: "Brother An, Long did leave the Xiao Mansion early this morning. It was Long who received a letter from a friend, and made an appointment to meet in Guiyun Pavilion, and this time he came back. One person cannot be divided into two, so it is naturally impossible to go to the military aircraft hall again. There is an epistle here. As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it over.

Jing Si took it, and saw that the words "Long Gongzi personally opened" were written on the envelope, so he immediately took out the letterhead, unfolded it and read it, and his face was cloudy for a while. After half a sound, he said with a smile: "Brother An, I'm afraid that this letter will not be approved." There is no date, and there is no signature, who wrote it, and who can tell who wrote it, and who can tell clearly? This letter says, "We met yesterday," and yesterday can be yesterday, the day before yesterday, or a certain day, and what day it is, and there is no signature at the end of the letter. ”

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter and made a mess.

Long Shaoyang knew about the forgery of the letter, and it was difficult to justify himself, so he said with a straight face: "Brother An, since everyone said so today, it seems that everyone is really going to make money and destroy it." However, Long did not steal the treasure map, and asked Brother An to give the younger brother a period of time, and Long should try his best to find out the truth and return his innocence. ”

Quiet thought and pretended to hesitate.

Qiu Youwei said loudly: "Brother An, don't believe this kid's words, this is his delaying tactic." When you agree to leave, this boy will surely run away, and then there will be no trace of him!"

"I don't believe you both. People can tell lies, but things can't tell lies. Brother Long, I'm offended!" Quiet thought for a while, and shouted: "Come on!"

"In!"

"Search for me! Search this house for me carefully, inside and out, don't be sloppy, otherwise don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the sword!"

"Yes!"

And when they said yes, they dispersed.

"Slow!"

Suddenly, a voice in the crowd said, "Gongzi An, the old slave has something to remind." This voice was old but strong, and it suppressed the noise of the crowd, and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone was stunned, and looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw that it was a bad old man in his sixties, tall and thin, hunchbacked, ugly in appearance, holding a dry tobacco stick in his hand and smoking slowly, it was Cheng Bo.

Jing Siqi said: "Old man, I don't know if you have anything to say?"

Cheng Bo took a deep sip at the moment, and said leisurely: "The old slave just wants to give the general a reminder - the general should not forget, the young lady of this Xiao Mansion is surnamed Zhu." If she knows about this, I'm afraid that the general will not be able to explain it. ”

Quietly thought for a moment, smiled silently, and said: "An is on an errand this time, and Sister Xue'er has my own explanation afterwards, so I don't bother the old man." As he spoke, he continued: "Listen to my orders, search!"

Qiu Youwei laughed cruelly and said helpfully: "Everyone be careful, the treasure map is hidden in a burden by him." Hehe, I'll get all the stolen goods later, and see what else you kid has to say!"

The officers and men scattered in all directions in an instant, some went straight to the main house, some rushed into the pavilion, and some inspected the grass and made a mess.

Long Shaoyang couldn't help but be furious, and he wanted to step forward, but he felt that the hem of the shirt behind him was suddenly tightened, and someone gently pulled it from below. At this moment, someone in the distance shouted, "Found it, found the baggage." At the sound of the voice, a servant rushed over, holding a light gray burden in his hand!

Long Shaoyang suddenly froze, it was the old burden he used to hold his clothes every day - in an instant, a sense of foreboding hit his heart.
