Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"So, you told me that the person who stole the things was not one of you. What? Could it be that the things in this treasure chest can grow legs and run away?"

The five servants all lowered their heads.

Zhao Xun patted the table and said, "The things in this treasure chest are not valuable. It is just something that has a certain value to me."

"Even if you steal it, you won't be able to sell it for much money."

"So if you are willing to stand up now, I can guarantee that not only will I not punish you, but I will also give you a coin. How about that?"

"One tael of silver is many times more valuable than what you stole."

But still no one stood up.

Zhao Xun was completely furious.

"it is good!"

"Since you are stubborn and won't say anything, I will report it to the police. I will ask them to punish the evildoers severely!"

When the five men heard that they were going to report to the police, they were so scared that they begged for mercy.

"Master, it really wasn't me!"

"Master, I didn't steal it!"

"The government officials will torture me severely, sir. I can't go. I will die there."

"Master, I am innocent!"

boom!
Zhao Xun slammed the table, making a loud noise that scared everyone.

He said, "You are wronged, then tell me, who is not wronged?"

"I spent money to support you, but you stole my things. Am I wronged?"

The five of them didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhao Xun said: "Come here, report to the authorities——"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a voice from outside: "Master Zhao, maybe I can help you find the thief."

Zhao Xun was stunned.

This voice is strange, whose voice is it?
He couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice in confusion.

At this moment, he noticed two strangers walking in from outside the door.

Those were two young men.

The man was very handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but gave people an extraordinary feeling.

The woman was extremely beautiful, and her gorgeous clothes were something that an ordinary person could not afford.

Zhao Xun has been in the rouge business for decades and has seen all kinds of women, so he has naturally developed a pair of sharp eyes.

You can tell someone’s wealth and background from the way he wears his clothes.

He couldn't see through the man. His clothes were ordinary, but his temperament was so extraordinary.

The woman's clothes could let him know that she was definitely rich or noble.

"You are?"

he wondered.

At this time, Wang Er hurried over and said, "Master, it was the young lady who asked me to bring them here."

"The young lady said that they are the descendants of Plum Blossom 29."

"Plum blossom twenty-nine! Thumbs up?"

When Zhao Xun heard the number, his eyes widened suddenly.

At this moment, Zhao Xun seemed to be frozen by this sentence.

The next moment, he actually ignored the thief and looked directly at Qin Wenyuan, saying, "Are you the descendant of Plum Blossom Twenty-Nine?"

Qin Wenyuan cupped his hands and said politely, "Excuse me, Old Master Zhao. This is the rouge left by my elders."

As he spoke, he handed the rouge he got from Nanzhao to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun quickly took the rouge.

He first turned the rouge to the back, took a closer look at the number, and then carefully examined the entire rouge.

Qin Wenyuan noticed that his hands were shaking.

He couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, it's this, it's this rouge!"

He couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Is she okay?"

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hearing the tone, I feel like something is wrong.

He said, "More than a decade ago, this elder of mine suddenly disappeared. This is what he left behind before he disappeared. I just found this rouge a few days ago. I thought I might know something about this elder, so I came here without hesitation."

"disappeared?"

Zhao Xun frowned.

He kept pacing in the hall, his face full of worry.

Qin Wenyuan naturally noticed it as well.

He didn't say anything, but stared at Zhao Xun without blinking.

Zhao Xun paced back and forth for a long time before he seemed to realize that the guest was still waiting.

He hurriedly walked to Qin Wenyuan, returned the rouge to Qin Wenyuan, and said, "I'm sorry, I was lost in some memories just now and lost my composure a little."

Qin Wenyuan shook his head.

Zhao Xun took a deep breath and returned to his usual calm.

He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "You just said that you can help me find the real thief?"

Qin Wenyuan glanced at the five people, smiled, and said, "Give it a try, maybe it will work."

Zhao Xun nodded directly, and did not refuse, saying: "Okay, then I'll let you try."

Qin Wenyuan came in front of these five people.

He looked at the five people and said, "Raise your heads."

But these people did not respond.

Zhao Xun said coldly: "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you raise your head? If you don't raise your head, it means you are guilty. I will treat you as a thief and send you to the authorities."

After these words were spoken, the five servants raised their heads.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes swept across their faces one by one.

Tension, worry, fear, suspicion, all kinds of expressions appeared on their faces.

After looking at them all, Qin Wenyuan already had a suspect in his mind.

As a detective who has solved countless cases, Qin Wenyuan has extremely rich experience.

To deal with these inexperienced young thieves, Qin Wenyuan only needed to look at their performance and expressions to see some problems.

But solving a case requires evidence.

It is not enough to just say that you can see their humility from their expressions.

Qin Wenyuan stood in front of them and asked, "Have you heard of warlocks?"

The five of them were stunned.

Qin Wenyuan said: "It is said that during the Qin Shihuang period, there was a sorcerer who had the ability to fill the sea with mountains."

"Of course, that's a legend, but warlocks really exist."

"A real warlock isn't that powerful, but he does have some magical skills."

"for example……"

Qin Wenyuan suddenly snapped his fingers in front of them.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared beside Qin Wenyuan.

The smoke cleared, and the orchid that had been blooming appeared there.

Everyone else was stunned.

Zhao Xun was also surprised.

And the five people were even more stunned.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "I am not talented. I am a sorcerer."

"I don't have any special abilities, I just have some ability to see through lies and make something out of nothing."

"However, this skill is just right for today's occasion."

Qin Wenyuan took out a black bag from his arms and said, "This is a treasure passed down to me by my teacher. He told me that as long as someone reaches into it and grabs the things inside, this bag will tell me who is lying."

As soon as Qin Wenyuan said this.

Everyone present was stunned.

They couldn't help but stare at the black bag in Qin Wenyuan's hand with wide eyes.

I saw that the bag was a cloth bag. It looked ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

Does this bag really have magical effects as Qin Wenyuan said?
Some people were skeptical, while others believed it because of the miraculous scene where Qin Wenyuan suddenly created an orchid.

Everyone has different thoughts.

But their eyes were all focused on the black bag.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the five servants. He could see obvious suspicion in their eyes.

But Qin Wenyuan didn't care.

He has just demonstrated his magic through magic.

And these are enough to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts.

Just so they don't dare to completely think that they are talking nonsense.

As long as they are not completely sure about him, Qin Wen has a way to make the thief show up on his own initiative.

He was full of confidence and said in a confident tone: "Speaking of this magic weapon of mine, he has a great background."

Qin Wenyuan said: "The founder of my school was a top sorcerer in the pre-Qin period."

"He once accepted the order from the First Emperor to refine the elixir of life."

"As a result, something unexpected happened. The elixir of immortality was not successfully refined, but this magic weapon was refined."

"This magic weapon has no other special functions, it just can see through people's lies."

"After that, it was used by many people, such as Zhang Liang who assisted Emperor Wu of Han, and Pang Tong, the Phoenix Child during the Three Kingdoms period. They all used this treasure to identify people with ulterior motives and broke many schemes."

"Then, after several twists and turns, this treasure fell into my hands."

"I was worried that I wouldn't have a chance to use it, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance right now."

Zhao Xun, the head of the Zhao family, was also a little suspicious at this moment.

He looked at the cloth bag, then looked at Qin Wenyuan who looked very confident, wondering what Qin Wenyuan was up to.

He said, "I also want to see how magical this magic weapon, which was used by Feng Chu and Zhang Liang, is."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll use it now."

He looked at the five servants who looked doubtful and said, "Then let's get started."

"Next, I need each of you to put your hands into this magic weapon of mine."

"Then, go and touch what's inside."

"As long as you touch the things inside, the magic weapon will tell me who is lying. Then, I will be able to find out who the thief is."

As he spoke, Qin Wenyuan opened the cloth bag.

Zhao Xun glanced at the servants and saw that they did not move. He hesitated and said coldly, "Why? Didn't you all say that you were wronged?"

........................

"Since you are wronged, then do as he says."

"When the time comes, once we find the real culprit, you will be able to clear your name."

After hearing what Zhao Xun said, the servants finally took action.

Qin Wenyuan walked up to the first person, smiled, and said, "Go ahead, put your hand inside and do as I just said. If you are not lying, I can tell instantly."

The servant swallowed and reached his hand in.

…………

Qin Wenyuan said: "Did you catch the things inside?"

The servant nodded.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Take it out."

The servant took it out.

Qin Wenyuan didn't look at him again. He came to the other person and said, "Continue."

Then, the other four people also quickly followed Qin Wenyuan's instructions and reached into the cloth bags.

Soon, they were all taken out.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at the five people, and his eyes swept over their hands again.

Then he chuckled and said, "This magic weapon of mine has told me that one of you is indeed lying. If nothing unexpected happens, that person is the thief."

The five of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They looked at each other, and then looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Zhao Xun asked hurriedly: "Who is lying? Who is the thief?"

The rest of the servants and maids also looked at Qin Wenyuan curiously.

They were all very curious, is this cloth bag really so magical?

Is it really possible to tell who is speaking at once?
Qin Wenyuan stood at the front of the hall. He was wearing a blue shirt. The clothes were not expensive, but at this moment, under the sunlight, they seemed to be shining with divine light, like a banished immortal.

He just stood there, seemingly doing nothing, and was the focus of everyone's attention.

There are always people like this in this world.

Born to be the focus.

The five servants were also looking at Qin Wenyuan nervously at this moment. They seemed to be afraid that Qin Wenyuan would frame them.

As for the other people in the Zhao Mansion, they all looked at Qin Wenyuan curiously. They all wanted to know whether Qin Wenyuan was bragging or had really found the thief.

At this time, Qin Wenyuan spoke calmly: "Lift up the hand you just put into my magic weapon, and point your palm towards me."

The five servants didn't understand what Qin Wenyuan meant, but they still raised their hands obediently.

"This is?"

"This……"

"Ah, I know who the thief is!"

"It turned out to be him!"

The exclamations kept ringing out.

Some people were surprised, while others were excited because they guessed the thief correctly.

Some people don't understand why this is the case.

"Why?"

Zhao Xun looked at the palms of the five servants and couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that this is really a magic weapon?"

At first he didn't believe that Qin Wenyuan had any magic weapon.

After all, this kind of thing is too mysterious.

Even though he had just seen Qin Wenyuan create flowers out of thin air with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.

But at this moment, after seeing this scene, he was shaken.

If this isn't a magic weapon, how do you explain the scene before your eyes?
The five servants were extremely nervous at this moment.

They had no idea what was going on.

The hands they raised were shaking constantly at this moment.

They just felt that everyone's eyes were fixed on their hands at this moment.

It was as if there was something in his hand.

But they didn't feel that there was anything extra in their hands.

So, what is going on.

In addition, the fact that Qin Wenyuan had just created flowers out of thin air made them even more nervous.

At this time, they saw Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not a sorcerer. This thing..."

Qin Wenyuan patted the black cloth bag in his hand and said, "Of course it's not a magic weapon."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Not a magic weapon?
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Why do some people have blood on their hands and some don't?"

"what?"

"Blooded?"

The five families couldn't help but express their curiosity.

They quickly turned their hands and took a closer look.

I saw that among these five people, four of them had red things in their hands that looked like blood.

There was one person who was clean and had nothing in his hands.

The five people were stunned.

The next moment, the servant whose face was not stained with blood turned pale.
