Chapter 2 The theft of the palace

"Sui Lao Er, are you really sure the person you mentioned will come?"

In the lobby of Guangling Prince Mansion, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious and solemn face said slightly puzzled towards the person sitting next to him. It could be seen that his expression was a little haggard, his eyes were covered with bloodshot as if he had not had a good sleep for days and nights.

The man named Sui Laoer was calm and held the exquisite blue and white porcelain tea cups in both hands and savored the good Maojian worshipped in the palace, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the person I mentioned will definitely come."

Seeing that Sui Lao Er was so calm, the prince became even more anxious. He first stood up and paced back and forth on the carpet of Persia under silk boots, and then sat in the Nanguan hat chair and picked up the tea cup from the square table of the red sandalwood. A light green swayed from the cup, and the fragrance of tea came to his nose. But the prince couldn't drink it in one gulp, so he put the tea cup back, feeling very restless.

"But it's been three days, why haven't the person you mentioned arrived yet?" Sui Lao Er, who was still enjoying the fragrance of tea, looked at him and couldn't sit still no matter what. He grabbed the tea cup in his hand and continued, "My brother-in-law, you said something, I'm so anxious!"

Looking at the anxious prince, Sui Lao Er guaranteed again: "Your heart is put in your stomach, he will definitely come. Not to mention anything else, I just said when did Sui Lao Er deceive you? My friend has a problem that he likes to look for flowers and asks you wherever you go. He thinks that the wine outside is not good, so he will naturally come."

"Prince! There is a person with three eyes outside asking for a visit!"

At this time, the servant outside the door ran over with a heavy breath.

"It's him who is here!" Sui Laoer put down the teacup in his hand and shouted.

When the prince heard this, he was overjoyed and was looking forward to the moon, so he looked forward to the man. He quickly shouted: "Hurry! Come in with him quickly!"

After a while, a young man in blue clothes walked in gracefully. It was the young man who spent a lot of money in Manxianglou a few days ago and could not buy rice dumplings.

As soon as the young man stepped into the courtyard, two officers in official uniforms suddenly jumped out, and the three of them wrestled together without saying a word.

The young man was calm when he saw the two of them coming in a fierce manner. He was not at a disadvantage in the face of the two of them. After a few moves, he seized the opportunity and kicked a servant to the ground with a whip. He could not afford to breathe and shake and turn around. Another move of the Fifth Ancestor Heyang Fist without any flaws, hitting another servant firmly on the chest. After the opponent was under pressure, he immediately covered his chest and retreated step by step.

The officer who was kicked to the ground first took out a willow-leaf scimitar, and the knife swung his wrist left and right and made a beautiful sword flower and then bent down. A young man rushed forward and rushed forward.

"Guihai's sword Sun Haifeng!" The young man was shocked.

"ah!!"

Sun Haifeng shouted loudly, and the blade rubbed against the air and made a hissing sound. It was obvious that the speed was extremely fast, and the knife cracked in the sky.

The young man put away his frivolity and focused his attention to the fierce sword. He spread his legs apart from his waist and tightened his legs. His eyes were about to see through the strange and fast sword technique.

There was no need to be careless in the flash. The tip of the lancet pointed directly at the young man's eyebrows, and a sharp flashed in Sun Haifeng's eyes, without any intention of restraining power!

This is a killer move! I really want to kill young people!

Except for Mr. Sui, everyone present suddenly felt their hearts in their throats. Another officer wanted to go forward to stop him, but it was too late.

The young man was unmoved, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his handsome hands raised.

The breeze sways the leaves and stops the insects and birds.

The silence in the courtyard was as dead as a yard.

A few timid maids subconsciously supported their sleeves to cover their faces and did not dare to see the bloody scene they imagined, but when they couldn't help but take a look at the curiosity, a miracle scene appeared!

I saw that the extremely sharp lancet was actually pressed by the young man's extremely slender index finger, and the needle pointed to the wheat rays!

"Follow Juanloulan!" The officer who wanted to come forward to stop him just now exclaimed.

Sun Haifeng used all his strength to continue stabbing the front and turned red, but the lancet knife seemed to be pressed against a hard rock, and he couldn't even push it in, and it didn't move at all.

Smack sex!

At this time, a string of applause came from the lobby. The prince showed joy on his face and exclaimed without reservation: "It is worthy of being a beautiful finger that flicks the rivers and seas. If Loulan is not destroyed, it will never return. What a finger that engraves Loulan!"

The young man nodded with his hands on his back, but he was still as calm as ever.

"The prince laughed."

Sun Haifeng put his knife in the sheath and snorted coldly, while another officer came forward to praise him, with infinite admiration in his eyes: "The hero is very good at martial arts, Chen really admires him."

The young man smiled indifferently and replied: "I really dare not take it as Chen Bengu, who can make Huiyue double hooks in the Yangzhou Gold and Silver God Captain, praise it so much."

"Do you know me?" Chen Bengu was a little surprised.

Qing Xiaonian shook her head and chuckled, "Of course I have never seen Constable Chen before, but you have a pair of silver hooks on your waist and are wearing official uniforms. Who else can be there except Constable Chen, who is the gold and silver detective?"

"Qing Xiaonian, don't be fine. If you can't eat the golden leaves and jade rice dumplings in my restaurant, I guess you will find this one." At this time, Sui Laoxiao, who was deliberately hiding in the dark, appeared and laughed. Being able to trick Qing Xiaonian into this place was finally aligned with all his plays before.

Qing Xiaonian was a little surprised by the appearance of Sui Laoxiao, but then she showed a sarcastic meaning and said sarcastically: "Oh, who do I think I am? It turns out that the boss of Sui from the famous Xiangmanlou is, why don't you sell your 100-pound golden brown sack here? I think you don't call Sui Laoxiao in the future, just change your name to Old Thieves Sui."

Old Sui can sharpen the skin on his face, so he always swears to Qing Xiaonian one ear and one ear. He smiled and said, "Brother Qing, you misunderstood me. I invited you here to let you drink the daughter Hong, who was only a prince and noble family, who was only available in the 70-year-old family, or it was specially prepared for you."

After hearing this, Qing Xiaonian deliberately showed a hint of joy and said in surprise: "You are so kind-hearted. You specially lie to me to come here to let me taste the 70-year-old daughter Hong? Is this your style of Sui Laozi?"

Mr. Sui said, "What I said is true! My daughter is really a seventy-year-old girl!"

"Where is? Where is the daughter Hong of seventy years old?" Seeing that the other party was speechless, he continued to tease: "I didn't see daughter Hong, but I'm both fist and knife. I think I'm going to stay in this Guangling Palace again, even if you have wine, I'll have no life to drink."

After saying that, Qing Xiaonian glanced at Sun Haifeng who was still fierce, and turned around and was about to leave Guangling Prince Mansion.

"Slow! Young Master Qing, please stay." At this time, the prince couldn't sit still. The old man and the young man quarreled and ran away, so he quickly asked to keep him.

Qing Xiaonian stopped with confusion. After all, this is the prince, so he still has to give face.

"Young Master Qing, don't worry, I have this good wine in Guangling Mansion. When the Dragon Boat Festival girl gets married next month, I will definitely arrange a seat for the young hero. At that time, I will ask the young hero to come to Han Mansion to have a good time. Not to mention the daughter Hong for seventy years, I will have it even for eighty and one hundred years!"

"Your Majesty, you are polite. Since you invited me so kindly, I have to respect you rather than obey me." Qing Xiaonian said slightly.

Hearing Qing Xiaonian agreeing, the prince's heart settled down, then his eyes turned and looked embarrassed and said, "It's just that I really have something to ask for inviting the young hero to come today. I would like to ask Young Master Qing to help me come up with an idea."

Qing Xiaonian understood as soon as he heard this. As these two old fried dough sticks worked hard to trick him into it, they turned out to be waiting for him here. They looked at the old Sui who pretended to be nothing, and silently turned his immortal Banban several times before they could balance it.

He looked at the gentle prince, who looked at the gentle prince, and cursed in his heart, but because of his identity, he had to give up and pretend to be cautious: "Your Majesty may as well speak directly."

The prince cleared his throat and became serious: "It's ashamed to say that the mansion was stolen last night."

"Stolen?" Qing Xiaonian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Guangling Palace, which is usually very strict in the gatekeeper, would also attract thieves to worry about it.

"Yes, when the housekeeper went to the warehouse to check the accounts this morning, he found that the door was pried open with a sharp weapon. After checking the accounts, he lost about 100,000 taels of silver. The money was a trivial matter. He mainly returned a few calligraphy and paintings, and Wu Daozi's "Picture of the King of Sending the Son" was also included."

The prince's face showed a serious look.

Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings are very popular in the contemporary era, and "The King of Sending a Son" is even more priceless. Qing Xiaonian bowed his head and thought for a while.

"Can you take me to the warehouse to see it?"

"Yes, the warehouse is in the side yard, please follow me."

The way to the warehouse was to pass through a renovated rockery garden from the left side of the front yard. It was muddy all the way. When we arrived at the warehouse, everyone's tops were covered with mud.

The prince looked apologized: "I'm really embarrassed. My daughter got married next month, so she found some handymen to renovate the backyard and added a heavy rain last night. I'll let the young hero change his outfit later.

Qing Xiaonian waved his hand and said it was not tight. He looked at the lock on the door, which was indeed cut off with a sharp weapon, and then looked at the row of shallow mud footprints on the ground.

Qing Xiaonian frowned slightly: "The prince is sure he was stolen last night?"

"Confirm, because the butler was still checking accounts in the warehouse last night when the silver and paintings were still there."

Qing Xiaonian asked again: "Is there any possibility of a thief?"

"Impossible. The old housekeeper took care of my financial affairs when he fought against the Imperial Housewives. I also questioned the other servants one by one. They went to rest early last night because it was windy and rainy last night, and there were all absent certificates."

"Then can I call the butler over here and I have something to ask?" Qing Xiaonian said lightly.

The prince shouted to the outside of the yard without saying a word: "Butler! Butler!"

Not long after, an old man with a hunched figure and kind face also trotted over with a foot of mud.

"Master, do you have something to come to me?"

"This young master has a few words to ask you, you must answer truthfully. Young Master Qing is versatile." The prince pointed to Qing Xiaonian beside him and instructed, and the latter nodded repeatedly.

Qing Xiaonian glanced at the butler and did not look like someone who would do something stealing, so he asked, "Butler, I ask you when did you come out of the warehouse last night."

"If you are the master, there was a strong wind and rain outside when I checked the bill last night, so I locked the door and came out."

"It means it was already raining when you came out?"

"If you go back to the young master, yes."

"Are you the first to discover the warehouse stolen in the morning?"

"Yes."

"Did anyone come to the warehouse again during this period, or has anyone cleaned up here before you?"

"Young Master, I found that the warehouse was stolen and several servants in the mansion had just gotten up. I ordered someone to guard outside the yard, and then I told my master the news." After saying that, the old housekeeper looked up at the prince, who nodded secretly at him, and then added to Qing Xiaonian: "I can testify about this. After the stolen, I have never been to the warehouse except the old housekeeper."

"You are still very clever when you are here to protect the scene." Qing Xiaonian said quietly.

Hearing Qing Xiaonian praise him, the old housekeeper smiled and showed his old yellow teeth, and said proudly: "Young Master is laughing. I have been with the prince for decades, so I still have this little bit of vision."

"Where is the photo of the King of Heavenly Sending a Son at that time?" Qing Xiaonian asked an unintentional question about what seemed to be unrelated to this case.

"Just put it on the table, the master cherishes this painting very much, so he takes it out to appreciate it, and he is very diligent in taking care of it. So he puts it in a conspicuous place."

"Your Majesty, do you like Wu Daozi's paintings very much?"

"That's natural. The characters in his paintings are like lamps taking shadows, going back and forth, seeing and coming out side by side, slanting and straight, each with softness, and obtaining natural numbers without any difference. They come up with new ideas in the rules and wonderful principles in boldness. They are the so-called ease of ease, and they are all the same as the past and present." The prince praised and expressed his admiration and love in his eyes. It can be seen that the prince is a person who knows painting.

Qing Xiaonian no longer asked about it. He felt that the matter was a little strange and lowered his head and thought about it.
