Chapter 714

One day later, the investigation of the dark night hall had no results.

Almost all channels and countless locations, whether locals or outsiders in the capital, have been investigated intentionally or unintentionally. But Xu Wei felt more and more stressed and heavy. He still had no clue where the treasures in the 56 boxes were missing and when they were replaced.

At the warehouse of the Sifang Hall of Honglu temple, the bodyguards were all guarding at the door. In the warehouse, Nalan stood in front of the box at night, and his pupils were deep, like a deep sea. He was expressionless and could not see what was in his mind, but there was an unspeakable threat, which made the people around him dare not speak out.

Luo qingluan, dressed in white gauze, stood quietly beside him. They stood side by side, like a fairy couple, but there was a touch of uncertain darkness at this time. Her eyes fell on dozens of boxes in front of her, swept them one by one, nodded to Nalan night, and walked slowly towards the warehouse.

The warehouse of Sifang Pavilion is very large, because it can't be seen at a glance because of the shelter of various items. All kinds of furnishings and appliances occupy most of the space. Only an open space is cleared in the middle of the warehouse for the temporary storage of 56 tin boxes.

At this moment, all the boxes are open. Some of them are still stacked with a thin layer of jewelry and gold and silver, but the angular stones are mixed with a lot of dust and gravel, which seems to be an unspeakable violation.

Glancing over the boxes, Luo qingluan carefully observed what he wanted to see. Although she didn't hold much hope, after all, the people in the dark hall didn't find out what the result was, it was absolutely impossible for her to give up.

These boxes are all made of high-quality jujube wood with thick iron sheets on the four sides. Even if ordinary people cut them with swords, they will not be damaged. There was a thin layer of dust around the box. As when it was transported that day, the ropes binding the box were scattered on the ground. So far, no one has cleaned it up, and everything remains as it was.

After concentrating for a moment, Luo qingluan squatted down and stood in front of a box to check carefully.

In this box, there are several long boxes. The box has been opened. There are all kinds of calligraphy, painting and calligraphy works. They are all treasures collected by the emperors of the northern Yue State for many years and presented everywhere. No one is less than 10000 Liang silver.

She reached out to pick up a pair, untied the tape and unfolded it slowly. It was a landscape map one foot wide and three feet long. Although Luo qingluan didn't know the signed name and seal, it can be seen from the charm of the painting and the skill of the painter that it is definitely a masterpiece of famous artists.

After hundreds of years or even thousands of years, it has also been collected by the royal family. I think once it is spread, it will definitely have a price and no market.

She looked at the second and third boxes. They were all similar calligraphy and painting works, all genuine. The whole box can hold at least 20 boxes, and only six can cover the first layer of the box. So the box below is directly empty and there is nothing in it.

Staring at the objects in front of her, Luo qingluan vaguely noticed something. There was a sense of disobedience in her heart, but she couldn't grasp what it was.

Without much thought, she looked at the next box. There were still small boxes in it, but the boxes were full of neat rows of silver ingots. Just like the box she looked at just now, only the ingots in the box on the first floor were still there, while in the box below, all the silver ingots were replaced with stones and sand.

Suddenly, Luo qingluan didn't turn his head. Sure enough, he heard Nalan's deep and mellow voice: "qingluan, did you find anything?"

Luo qingluan frowned and paused to respond: "I always feel something wrong, but I can't think of it."

As she said, she pointed to the box in front of her: "the things in it are stacked neatly. Obviously, they are placed when packing. But Nalan night, you see, there are only things in the upper box, and the lower boxes are empty, otherwise they will be replaced, and all 56 boxes are like this, I'm thinking..."

As if she was racking her brains to analyze the problems, or guessing the scene of the original event, her voice floated out of her lips and teeth, It seemed to come from a distant place: "how many people wanted to change these things for such a huge project? How did they do it, what happened at that time, and why they didn't know it. Adults he and Xu Wei didn't notice it at all?"

"Are you suspicious of outsiders?"

Naturally, he understood what Luo qingluan meant. Nalan said in the night: "after all, the two teams escorting these things, whether the people sent by Beijun or the people in our dark night hall, have formed a role of mutual cooperation but mutual supervision. In this case, it is really difficult to say that what one of them did was not noticed by the other."

Luo qingluan nodded and looked more and more dignified: "this is only a possibility, there is another possibility..."

"After all, these treasures were transported all the way from Beijun. When they set out, there were only people from Beijun, led by Mr. He Changlong and Mr. he himself. This journey was nearly thousands of miles. If they wanted to do things before the people in the dark night hall arrived, they would have time."

Although her words were affirmative, there was an inquiring look in her eyes. Nalan night knew her questions, Then he went on to analyze: "I naturally thought of this, but I have asked Xu Wei. When the North County escort team arrived, he saw the seal, including the lock on the box, and there was no sign of opening or damage. Moreover, there were so many escorts that even if one or two could hide, not everyone could see any flaws."

Xu Wei told Nalan night that these treasures are so valuable that he will naturally consider the safety along the way. When he Changlong's team arrived, he immediately checked the seal of the box, including observing the look of the people. There were no other abnormalities. As a result, everything was not suspicious.

Moreover, from Beijun to Western Chu, there are Gobi desert in the middle. Because of the war a few years ago, there are no plants and trees all year round, and sometimes wind and sand. If he Changlong did something and asked people to replace the treasures, where would he hide them?

The terrain in the Gobi desert will change at any time. It is possible that a box buried in the morning will run along the quicksand in the afternoon. Moreover, the wind and sand will change the terrain at any time. In addition to the most skilled guides, the caravan passing through this terrain all year round can follow the established route and find the right direction.

In this way, he Changlong wants to replace the things in more than 50 boxes and bury them in the ground until he returns. This may be too small. But even so, Nalan night also sent people from the dark night hall to search along the way. Before, the dark harrier sent a message that everything was normal along the way. So far, no suspicious things have been found, so Nalan night and Luo qingluan came to the warehouse to check in person with the intention of finding some clues.

"If they all lied, do you believe it?"

After thinking for a long time, Luo qingluan looked at Nalan night and got up slowly.

Only she and Nalan night were present in the warehouse, and the others were waiting outside the warehouse without coming in. She said such words only when she was alone with Nalan night. After all, she could doubt the people of Beijun, but Xu Wei led the team here in the dark night hall. Luo qingluan would never believe that he would betray Nalan night.

"I believe in Xu Wei." Nalan night's voice was faint, but with absolute trust.

"I believe him, too." Luo qingluan nodded and confirmed his idea again.

A subordinate who can protect her safety and even ignore her life knows his conduct and words. Will he do this because of millions of gold and silver? If someone else changes, Luo qingluan may question because she doesn't understand, but Xu Wei, she believes she will never.

Xu Wei and Xu Lian have only been married for a year. It is the happy time for the newly married Yan'er. Xu Lian has just been pregnant. As a husband and the father of his soon to be born child, how can he betray Nalan night and abandon his stable and happy life? Xu Wei is not an ambitious man. He is always calm and quiet, and even has some bad words. It is impossible to say that he can come up with such a careful plan without being noticed by the people around him.

After confirming this point, Luo qingluan's eyes firmly said: "so, since it can't be Xu Wei, it has nothing to do with the dark night hall. Apart from this possibility, it's only he Changlong with ghosts! Otherwise..."

"There are foreign thieves!" She said word by word.

Whether he Changlong did it or the foreign thief used a secret method to hide it from everyone, Luo qingluan and Nalan night are now carrying a heavy burden and pressure. These treasures transported by Beijun are invaluable. Now most of them are inexplicably missing. It is impossible to hide them.

Act rashly and alert the enemy, but not to report the news on Nalan night, not because of the fear and punishment of the Nangong emperor of the Western Chu emperor. But this time can't be too much. Now a day has passed. If we can't find out as soon as possible, sooner or later, our eyes won't cover up.

So they must hurry up, or the matter will be exposed, for fear that it will cause an uproar.

Yao Fang, the Minister of Honglu temple, was sure to hide it. After getting Nalan night's warning, he was obedient and replied with a frightened face: "yes, don't worry, the lower official must keep it a secret, but it's a big matter. I hope the Lord can do it as soon as possible..."

"Do you think this king will trouble you?" Nalan looked at him coldly at night and said what he thought in his heart.

"I dare not, dare not!" Yao Fangzheng trembled with fear and hurriedly said that he would keep it a secret. He also said that if the king of Chu had orders, he would do his best to help, just to find out the matter as soon as possible.

He left Honglu temple with Luo qingluan. As soon as he went out, Nalan night looked back at the vermilion door and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xing, find someone to stare at him. Adult Yao is absolutely not allowed to contact anyone."

Yuan Xing was ordered and said in a cold voice, "don't worry, my Lord. My subordinates must stare and keep it so that he can't even see his second aunt!"
