Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 631 Tracing the Blood Jade

Feng Qian asked again: "Then when you went to the ancestral hall this morning, besides Lu Qiao, is there any possibility that you were followed by other people?"

"Shouldn't there be any?" The old lady said uncertainly.

The servant girl also recalled, and said: "My maidservant remembers that when this maidservant accompanied the old lady to the ancestral hall, the iron steward was leading people to clean the ancestral hall. Later, the old lady asked the iron steward and the servants to leave first. Opened the hidden compartment, took out the Qilin Blood Jade to check it, at that time the Qilin Blood Jade was still inside, but in the blink of an eye, the Qilin Blood Jade disappeared!"

Feng Qian asked, "Is this iron butler reliable?"

The old lady said: "Butler Tie is from the lady's natal family. He has been in the prime minister's mansion for decades. He is very cautious in doing things and rarely makes mistakes. He is a trustworthy and reliable person!"

The servant girl nodded and said, "Butler Tie is very kind to his servants, he is rewarded and punished clearly, he has a high prestige in the prime minister's mansion, and the servants respect him very much."

Feng Qian squinted her eyes, and said: "In my opinion, no matter who the Qilin Blood Jade was stolen by, that person must still be in the Prime Minister's residence! Then, Lu Qiao, you go and inform Prime Minister Feng and order him to block the Xiang Xiang's palace." No one is allowed to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion without permission, from now on, the Prime Minister's Mansion is only allowed to enter but not to leave!"

The maid took the order: "Yes, empress queen!"

Feng Qian turned her head again, and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, please follow me to the front yard, and I will help you find the unicorn blood jade!"

The old lady looked at her in surprise, looked at her for a moment, and finally nodded in relief.

When Feng Qian helped the old lady to the front yard, almost all the guests gathered at the banquet in the front yard. After a glance, there were more than a dozen tables, including the young master of the Gu family, Leng Xian'er and others. Ling Wang was also among them.

Feng Qian just glanced casually at first, but when she took a closer look, she almost blinded her eyes!

Under the gaze of her right eye, these guests turned into naked bodies. At a glance, they were all white, which really irritated her eyes.

She hurriedly covered her right eye with her hand, pretending that something dirty had gotten into it.

Xuanyuanche came over and asked with concern: "Qianqian, are you alright?"

Feng Qian shook her head: "It's okay! There's something dirty in my eyes."

She dared not tell him that she had just seen naked men's bodies, if she told him, she would drown him in vinegar!

At this time, someone among the guests shouted in dissatisfaction: "President Feng, what do you mean by detaining us all here?"

Other guests also spoke out.

"We are here today to celebrate the old lady's birthday. What is the purpose of sending out so many guards in your prime minister's mansion? Are you going to detain us as prisoners?"

Feng Cang stood up and reassured everyone: "Everyone, please don't misunderstand! There is a temporary situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone is gathered here for the convenience of investigation, and there is absolutely no intention of detaining everyone!"

"Investigate? Investigate what?" someone asked.

The old lady stood up and said, "Let's talk about it myself!"

Seeing the old lady go out in person, the noise at the scene finally died down.

"Today is my birthday. I am very grateful to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to celebrate my birthday!" The old lady paused, and the atmosphere of the guests at the scene eased up.

She continued: "Originally, I planned to take advantage of today's birthday to pass on the Qilin Blood Jade, the family heirloom, to the heirs I think are suitable..."

As soon as this remark came out, the scene erupted.

"Kirin Blood Jade?"

"That is the treasure of detoxification!"

"Yes, priceless!"

Among the crowd, Gu Junfeng's eyes lit up, and Murong Yan's eyebrows twitched.

At the same time, Feng Tianqi, the second young master of the Feng family, is also refreshed. In his opinion, he is very likely to be the suitable heir in the old lady's mouth!

The old lady suddenly changed her tone: "It's a pity, just now, I found out that the unicorn blood jade is gone!"

The crowd was in an uproar again.

"Gone?"

"Could it be stolen?"

The old lady said again: "I suspect that someone stole the unicorn blood jade, and this person is among you right now!"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

"The person who steals jade is among us?"

"a?"

"Who exactly stole the Qilin Blood Jade?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, suspicious of each other.

The old lady continued: "So, in order to find the Qilin Blood Jade, I beg you to cooperate and stay here for now. When the real thief is found out, the Prime Minister will definitely make amends and send you away intact! Thank you all here!"

As she spoke, the old lady bowed deeply to everyone.

The crowd was moved.

"Old madam doesn't have to be like this!"

"We promise to cooperate!"

"Yes, we are willing to assist the Xiangfu to track down the real culprit who stole the jade."

Most of the people expressed their willingness to cooperate, and at this moment, Murong Yan suddenly said: "This king originally came to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Anything else, don't stay any longer!"

He actually got up to leave.

Feng Cang was in a dilemma immediately, he could still stop other people as a prime minister, but if King Ling wanted to leave, he had no right to stop him at all.

Before he could open his mouth, Xuanyuanche spoke out first: "His Royal Highness Ling is in a hurry to leave. Could it be that he is guilty of being a thief and wants to escape with the treasure?"

Murong Yan's complexion changed suddenly, and he said gloomyly: "Xuanyuanche, don't you want to spout blood! What kind of status is this king, how could he covet a small unicorn blood jade?"

Xuanyuanche smiled coldly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "That's not necessarily the case! Gu once looked through Mu Tianfu's case file, and found that among the theft case files, the cases of rich people committing crimes are more than [-]% more than those of poor people! Can you Know why?"

Murong Yan stared at him sharply, and heard him continue to say: "That's because the poor steal for food and clothing, while the rich steal to satisfy their own selfish desires! People's hearts are not enough, and the problem of food and clothing is a matter of food and clothing." It can be solved with one meal, but the greed of the human heart can never be satisfied!"

Murong Yan was annoyed: "You mean, this king stole the unicorn blood jade from the prime minister's mansion in order to satisfy his own selfish desire?"

Xuanyuan Che said calmly: "What is the truth, we will find out when the results of the investigation come out! His Royal Highness Ling Wang is in a hurry to leave now, and it will inevitably be confirmed!"

Murong Yan snorted coldly, and sat down again: "Okay, I will stay here and see the results of your investigation! If it turns out that the theft of the Qilin Blood Jade has nothing to do with this king, this king wants you, Xuanyuanche, to report to me in public. Wang apologizes!"

Xuanyuan Che hooked his lips, and agreed very readily: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Feng Qian looked at Xuanyuanche worriedly, why did he agree so hastily?
Could it be that he really believes that the Qilin Blood Jade is on Ling Wang's body?
