The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 196 The Bottleneck of the Case

"Since father sent you here, you all know what happened." Jin Yang looked at the people in front of him.

"Yes, before the princess came back, I had checked the flower bed that the princess found yesterday, and I had a general understanding of the academy's situation," Bai Ze replied.

Jin Yang: "Did you find anything?"

Bai Ze shook his head: "Nothing unusual."

Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing silently, Xuan Shijing took a step forward, and said: "In this case, let's proceed according to the original plan, Jinyang, your people will go to check on the students of the academy, Gao Jun, I Let him check the servants of the academy, and these people must not be missed."

Jin Yang nodded. Back then, he was patronizing and doubting the students, so why did he forget about the large number of servants in the academy.

This case seems to have reached a bottleneck, and now Xuan Shijing seems to have no other available clues other than waiting for the results of the investigation by the people below.

Sitting in the living room of the room, Xuan Shijing rubbed his head. Seeing that Xuan Shijing didn't look at him, Jinyang walked to the table, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing raised his head, thanked him, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the dragon pattern jade pendant hanging on Jin Yang's waist.
"Jing, Brother Jing, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xuan Shijing staring at him in a daze, Jin Yang weakly looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing clapped his hands, suddenly realized: "How did I forget it?"

"What?" Jin Yang was confused by Xuan Shijing's performance, what did brother Jing forget?

"Sister, let me tell you, what the academy lost this time is not just the tuition fees paid by the students." Since Jinyang is also involved in this case, you might as well tell her that two people think it's better than him alone. It is much more efficient for people to struggle here.

"En? Not just tuition fees? What else?" Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing: "Brother Jing means that besides tuition fees, there are other things missing from the library of the academy?"

"That's right, it's the mutton fat jade jade unicorn paperweight that your father gave to the academy, and it has always been regarded as the treasure of the town courtyard by the sacrificial wine." Xuan Shijing said.

"What? The things that the father rewarded were also stolen?!" Jin Yang's tone was filled with surprise and anger.

He even dared to touch the things bestowed by the emperor, this thief was so bold, Jin Yang slapped the table with his little hand, which made Xuan Shijing jump.

"Sister, calm down, don't be angry." Xuan Shijing hurried to appease: "The money in the treasury and the unicorn paperweight bestowed by His Majesty were stolen twice by thieves. The second crime should have been committed not long ago, so, There should still be hope of recovering it, I will send someone to go to the major pawnshops in Chang'an City immediately to see if anyone has pawned it out."

Jin Yang shook his head: "No need, the things rewarded by the emperor are almost from the House of Internal Affairs, with the royal seal on them, and pawnshops will not accept such things."

The pawn shop doesn't know how to do it, but the Hu people Xuan Shijing didn't forget that he asked Qiandui to sell the things in Li Chengqian and Li Tai's palace back then, not only did he sell them, but he also sold them at a high price.

If it really falls into the hands of the barbarians, it will be troublesome, and the hope of recovery is almost slim. Moreover, the follow-up of this case is very likely to be exposed in front of the court.

It is not a trivial matter that the imperial gift was stolen. To put it lightly, Wu Junyan is not good at guarding, and the seat is not guaranteed. If it is serious, it is uncertain how many people will lose their heads.

"Sis, don't say anything about this beforehand. It would be good if the stolen unicorn paperweight can be recovered, but if it can't be recovered." Xuan Shijing didn't know what to say, what should he do if he couldn't get it back?
"Anyway, let's wait until the case is over. Aren't we working hard to investigate?" Xuan Shijing comforted.

Hearing this, Jin Yang nodded, agreeing with what Xuan Shijing said.

"Brother Jing, what should we do next?" Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing: "Since it is impossible for the pawnshop to accept this kind of thing, we can only hope that the thief has no plans to make a move, otherwise he can go to a Hu merchant in Chang'an to trade, if it falls into the hands of a Hu merchant , I don’t care if it’s a gift from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty or not, for the current plan, we can only let Qiandui do it.”

"A pile of money?"

"That's right, let the money be piled up in Chang'an City to buy rare treasures like paperweights at a high price. The price is higher. Since the thief is doing it for money, he will naturally be tempted. This is just for insurance. If the thief really wants to find If someone makes a move, at least he won’t choose a Hu merchant who has no money to pile up the price.” Xuan Shijing sighed, it’s really a headache, there are so many things in the warehouse that he doesn’t want to take, but he wants to get His Majesty Li Er’s paperweight, Thieves are also stupid, isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Si, speaking of which, you have also lived in the academy for two or three days, how do you feel?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Jinyang didn’t bring a maid with her when she came to the academy, it seemed that she only brought a bodyguard who secretly protected her. In the morning, she did all the cleaning of the transom window by herself, but the water used for washing was sent to the student dormitory next door by the bodyguard. It was drilled from the well before.

Even so, this made Xuan Shijing look at Jinyang with admiration. Although Jinyang is usually gentle and polite and does not have those so-called princess diseases, if she is a ten-year-old child living outside by herself and doing everything by herself, then That's another matter.

"Very good, it's much more interesting than the life in the palace." Jin Yang didn't care, and sat on the stool opposite Xuan Shijing: "Actually, it's nothing, in the palace every morning, the maids take care of the wash, When it comes time to do it yourself, apart from being a little unfamiliar the first day, there is nothing else. Fortunately, you are wearing men's clothes. If you wear those cumbersome palace clothes and comb your hair in a bun, you may not be able to sleep for so long in the morning. "

Jin Yang looks smart, lively and cute. Few people know that she is also a lazy child in the morning, but after arriving at the academy, she can always force herself to get up on time every morning. This is also a kind of great perseverance.

"Now that your identity has been leaked, although the captain will definitely tell the students not to spread it, it is always a hidden danger." Xuan Shijing rubbed his chin and thought, "How did you plan?"

"If it is leaked, it will be leaked. Anyway, it is the emperor's will to come to Lushan Academy. Besides, even if it is leaked, it is not a big deal. Those students will not spread it. So, brother Jing, don't worry." Jin Yang said with a smile : "Even if the father knows, let the eldest brother persuade him."

Li Chengqian, who was suffering from Yu Zhining's long-winded words in the East Palace, had no idea that he was already missed by his younger sister. Looking at Yu Zhining who was speaking righteously in front of him, Li Chengqian smiled wryly. A little stable, as for that?If we don't build a stable, where will the batch of good horses that the father rewarded the son be kept, especially the lion horse, which is very difficult to take care of.

Xuan Shijing felt relieved when he heard what Jin Yang said, and said: "Actually, I won't stay in this academy for long. I should leave after investigating the case. When the time comes, you should leave together. Let's go." You are here alone, don't say I am worried, even your brothers will not give up."

"En!" Jin Yang nodded cheerfully.
