Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 864 Exogenous Branches

"Buddha statues?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Both banks lost Buddha statues? Are they all made of gold?"

"Both families lost Buddha statues." Mei Lin handed the few pieces of paper in her hand to Shen Haolin, "One family is the Golden Buddha, the other is the Jade Buddha. The appearance of the two Buddha statues has been drawn." She turned to Shen Haolin The ones in his hand raised his chin, "It's all inside."

"These two banks only lost the Buddha statue? Is the Buddha statue the most valuable in that cellar?" Song Jue grabbed Shen Haolin's shoulder and looked at it with him. What about the other five?"

"It's still something to eat and drink. This time, there are no gold, silver, jade, and satin porcelain. The two banks only lost the Buddha statue, and everything else was intact. The two shopkeepers said that if it wasn't for the strange thief this time, Steal, they have already forgotten about these two Buddha statues."

"Forgot?" Shen Cha frowned, "Isn't this theirs?"

"It's not theirs, it's kept here by their old friends from their fathers." Merlin nodded, "Before their fathers passed away, they were told to take care of it and never throw it away, otherwise accidents would happen. They built the cellar at the same time. , put the box containing the Buddha statues in the most hidden corner of the cellar, and used other treasures to block the outside of the box. As a result, the strange thief didn’t take any treasures, but only took these two Buddha statues.” Merlin shrugged, "I don't know what the fathers of the two shopkeepers said about the flying disaster, whether it really exists, or a lie made up to make them look at the two Buddha statues, to scare them!"

"Are the two banks next to each other? Does the manager of the bank know each other?"

"Not next to each other. One is on the street, and the other is at the end of the street. But these two families are family friends, and the friendship has lasted for three generations. Although they are colleagues, they have a good relationship with each other." Merlin sighed, "There is still another case in this case." One point needs to be paid attention to, the action of the strange thief was advanced, and this time it was three days earlier than the last time. Also, this time, none of the seven shops received the so-called notice, and they were completely caught off guard."

"Perhaps..." Shen Haolin and Song Jue finished reading the papers, and handed them directly to Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, "Is there such a possibility? From the very beginning, our judgment was wrong. The repeated shots for a month and a half were all to deceive people, draw our attention to other directions, and let us ignore our attention to Qianzhuang. After our attention was successfully diverted by him, he suddenly shot and hit the target .”

"But, what's so special about this Buddha statue that it's worth all the effort to steal it? Besides..." Shen Cha shook his head lightly, "Besides, if from the very beginning, they would steal these two statues without anyone noticing The statue of Buddha was stolen, perhaps only when the shopkeeper took inventory of the cellar, he could find out that the statue of Buddha had disappeared, so it would not have been so loud and known to everyone."

"What you both said makes sense." Song Jue looked at Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, whose expressions became very solemn, "Uncle, Uncle Wang, what do you two think?"

Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo looked at each other, and instead of answering Song Jue's question, they exchanged a few words in a low voice, pulled out the paintings of the two Buddha statues, stood up and were about to go out.

"You..." Song Jue looked confused, "What are you two doing?"

"Go to see the queen mother." Dai Wang looked at them seriously, "Until we come back, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait here, understand?" Seeing a few children nodding obediently, they turned their gazes His Highness Prince Ning, Eunuch Cui, and Eunuch Pan, "Take care of them, don't allow them to step out of this door, and don't answer them and this..." He shook the two pieces of paper in his hand, "Any questions about it!"

"understood!"

Prince Dai's gaze stayed on everyone's faces for a while, to confirm that they had listened to his words, and then he dragged Wu Qingruo out.But the two of them didn't go far, they stood at the entrance of the main hall and waited for a while, they didn't hear any sound from inside, and then they really left.

When Dai Wangye and Wu Qingruo really left, Mei Lin gestured towards several people in the hall.

Song Jue and Bai Meng came to His Highness King Ning, Eunuch Pan and Eunuch Cui, and surrounded the three of them.

"Tell me, what happened to these two Buddha statues?"

"You guys, wait for the letter honestly. What should be told to you will not be hidden from you, what should not be told to you, no matter what happens." His Highness King Ning raised his eyebrows at several people, looked at Pan Eunuch and Eunuch Cui, "However, I can tell you one thing, if their predictions come true, then we will face a stronger and more difficult opponent than Wanyanping, the Tantai family, and the Teng family." He ignored the few children With a blank face on his face, he sighed softly, "This is fate!" He looked at Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, "If it is confirmed, you two should release the news, notify everyone who can be notified, and tell them , the old man is visiting, so be prepared to welcome the guests."
