get married first, fall in love later

Qian Si left in response, and not long after, he took the box containing the mold and put it in front of everyone.

Qian Xiaobao took out the mold, compared it carefully with the bank note in his hand, and said, "It really came from this mold."

Qian Er had already understood what happened to them and his group in Jiangzhou from Qian Sikou, now he walked up to Qian Xiaobao, lowered his eyes and said: "The silver ticket is in the capital, but the mold is hidden in Jiangzhou. Strange."

Qian Xiaobao looked around the crowd for a week, got up and walked slowly, and analyzed a little bit: "It is not difficult to get to the bottom of this matter. Although Wang Changmu is now in Jiangzhou, he has only been in office for two years, and it happened that he was transferred before he was transferred. She holds an important position in the household department." She walked to the table and picked up the bank note that Ouyang Xi took out from her pocket, compared it with the fake bank note, and continued: "And this fake bank note is so realistic that even The gold seal of the Ministry of Households stamped on it is no different from the real bank note, which means that someone must have stolen the gold seal privately, and what's more, the person in charge is the person who owns the gold seal."

"Young master, what you mean is that as long as we go to confirm whether the gold seal is still in the household department, we will know who is the fraudster." After Qian San finished speaking, he glanced at Qian Si: "I'm afraid this investigation will take a while." Four do it."

Before Qian Xiaobao could answer, Ouyang Xi said, "Not necessarily. Although the gold seals on them are exactly the same, they don't necessarily come from one seal. Could it be that someone made a fake seal and stamped it on it?" Is it?"

In modern society, the streets are full of seals. I think Ouyang Xi went to the street to cope with summer homework. He spent 15 yuan to make up a company name and engrave a seal on his social practice.Whenever I think of this, I can still be a little complacent: such a clever trick, if you think about it, only you can think of it?

"It's not that I can't, it's that I don't dare." Qian Xiaobao glanced at the person next to him who was smiling cheerfully for no reason, and continued: "Our Shengmu Dynasty's judicial system is very strict, especially when it comes to privately engraving official seals." There are clear regulations. Once found out and arrested, all the people involved in the case will be severely punished by the nine clans. Even if they have even a trivial connection with this matter, they will not escape this crime. There has never been a case like this."

"So that's how it is." Ouyang Xi realized with a look of comprehension: when watching TV before, whenever he saw the imperial seal stamped on it by His Majesty the emperor when he issued a decree, he always wondered why the ancients did not suspect that the jade seal on the imperial decree received was fake Woolen cloth?Now hearing what Qian Xiaobao said, he understood that he didn't even dare to forge official seals, so who would have the guts to forge jade seals?

However, even if you have the guts to create a technology, you may not necessarily support it. Let alone the streets here, it is difficult to find someone who can help make fakes, even if you find someone, it is impossible to catch up with the Jiuzu. It's not worth it to earn such a little money with one's life.

Qian San looked at Qian Sidao again: "The young master is right, so the most urgent thing is to sneak into the household department to check whether the gold seal is still there."

Qian Sidao: "Then my subordinates should prepare now."

Hearing this, Qian Xiaobao raised his hand to stop it and said, "Although this household department is not as heavily guarded as the imperial palace, it must be guarded by heavily guarded troops. In addition, you are not familiar with the environment inside, so it may be difficult to handle."

Ouyang Xi interrupted and asked, "Then what should we do? Although it is very dangerous, if we don't go, we won't be able to find out the truth."

Qian Xiaobao thought for a while, and then said: "I have some personal friendship with Princess Huaijun, maybe I can go and ask her for a topographic map."

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Qian Er, who had never said a word, stood in front of Qian Xiaobao and said, "My junior sister has a lot of research on the matter of reconnaissance, and she is even more willing to collect topographic maps of famous mansions on weekdays." In case of emergencies, it is very easy for her to sneak into the household department to find out the truth, so let her go for a trip."

As Qian Er's junior sister, Qian Xiaobao naturally believed it very much, and he didn't refuse at the moment, he just asked: "Your junior sister has been with your masters all year round, why did you come to the capital now that you are away from home?"

Qian Er didn't go into details when he heard the words, he just said calmly: "My teacher's wife will always have some unforeseen needs." After listening carefully, it is not difficult to find that although her tone is always indifferent, she inadvertently reveals a sense of helplessness and affection. drown.

"That's why we'll be the 'Luo Zhu Xian'."

Qian Xiaobao's slightly teasing words made Qian San and Qian Si stunned immediately. They looked at Qian Er in surprise, but Qian San couldn't hold back and asked first: "Which has been widely circulated in Jianghu, You have never failed to find anything in the house, and when you leave, you will replace it with a bamboo leaf in the place where the original object was placed. So far, no one has seen its true face. The thief of the world is actually your junior sister?"

Qian Er glanced at them lightly, and said lightly: "It was originally my master, but it was only in the past two years that it was replaced by my junior sister Wuhen."

The dusk was getting darker, and it was the time when everything was still. Most of the people in the city had already turned off their lights and went to sleep, but Qian Xiaobao was still brightly lit in the small courtyard in the capital. Except for Qian Er who went to meet him, everyone was waiting. Sitting quietly in the hall, everyone holds a cup of tea, as if waiting for something.

Ouyang Xi rested his injured leg lightly on the stool beside him, glanced at the empty doorway from time to time, turned around and asked uncertainly: "Xiaobao, that junior sister Wuying was able to enter the household department so quickly to check the gold seal Are you still here?"

Qian Xiaobao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and gave her a comforting smile: "Xi'er, don't be impatient."

As soon as the words fell, two figures rushed in from outside the door. The speed was so fast that before Ouyang Xi opened his eyes to see clearly, they were already standing in front of her and Qian Xiaobao.

Leaning forward slightly to take a closer look, besides Qian Er, there is also a young girl who is a little younger. Although she is a night spy, she seems to be very confident in her skills. Wearing bright yellow clothes.Thick eyebrows, star-eyed oval face, white teeth, red lips and delicate nose. Compared with Wuying Xiang beside her, her complexion is slightly darker, but it is the wheat color that modern people like very much. It is set off by the bright yellow shirt on her body. , really pretty tight.

"Master, we're back." Qian Er saluted Qian Xiaobao briefly, then pulled the person beside him and asked softly, "Hen'er, have you checked it out?"

Wuhen opened the corner of his mouth and smiled: "When did I mess up what the senior sister told me?" After speaking, he touched from the wide sleeve, took out something and threw it in Qian Xiaobao's direction.

Qian Xiaobao casually grabbed the thing in his hand, then opened his palm to look, he was a little dumbfounded: "We just want to check if the thing is still there, and we didn't dare to bother the girl to steal it out." Everyone He leaned forward and took a look, and what was lying in Qian Xiaobao's palm was the golden seal of the household department.

Wuhen waved his hand casually: "If you can steal it, it means it's still there. I'll show it to you for confirmation, and I'll put it back. It's such a small matter, what's the trouble?"

Everyone was speechless, except for you, the imposing thief who comes and goes silently, who can say that this is nothing?

"In this way, Miss Wuhen will be here." Qian Xiaobao took the gold seal in his hand and inspected it carefully for a moment, then compared it with the fake bank note before, and then handed it back to Wuhen.

"Ready?"

Qian Xiaobao nodded: "En."

"Then I'll put it back." After Wuhen finished speaking, he turned to look at Wuying beside him, and said, "Senior Sister, go back to the room to rest first. I'll come back later and look for you."

Wuying pampered her long black hair that fell on her shoulders and said, "Be careful."

After Wuhen responded, he immediately performed lightness kung fu and left everyone's sight.

Now that the matter was done, everyone went back to their rooms to rest one by one.Jiang Qingxiao looked at Wuying who was still standing at the door, and wanted to go forward to say something, but seeing the rare worry on her face that never showed emotion, she knew that she was worried about her junior sister, and it was not easy to go and disturb her right now. , had no choice but to walk away step by step.

On the second day, Ouyang Xi and Qian Xiaobao woke up early in the rare morning, and called the rest of them to the dining hall for breakfast.

When everyone was seated, Qian Xiaobao looked around but Wuhen was nowhere to be seen. He turned to Qian Er and asked, "Why did you not see Miss Wuhen? Did something go wrong when returning the gold seal yesterday?"

Qian Erdao: "No. It's just that Hen'er has always been lethargic, so he must not be able to wake up at this hour."

Qian Xiaobao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "It's fine."

However, Ouyang Xi found a small loophole in Qian Er's words. First, he turned his head to look at Jiang Qingxiao, who had a look of restlessness in his eyes, and then asked Wuying: "Sister Wuying slept in the same room with Wuhen last night. Is it?"

Wuying heard the words and nodded, but didn't say much.

Ouyang Xi turned her head and saw that Jiang Qingxiao's face changed instantly as she expected, and then she smiled inwardly, and asked again: "Although this yard is not big, there are not too many wing rooms, why didn't you greet the servants?" Clean another room and come out, the two of you are squeezed into one bed, maybe you won't be able to sleep comfortably?" After asking, Jiang Qingxiao turned her head again, and Jiang Qingxiao's expression could be called sad.

Wuying didn't seem to want to say much, but Ouyang Xi was his own master anyway, so he replied veiledly: "Thank you for your relationship with Young Mistress, I think it's okay for my subordinates."

He obviously didn't want to continue talking, and if he asked again, he would be too ignorant.Ouyang Xi also shut up immediately, lowered her head and went to eat obediently.

After the meal, Qian Xiaobao carried Ouyang Xi back into the house, carefully placed her on the bed, then looked at her with a chuckle and teased, "Why did Xi'er deliberately ask those questions to make things difficult for Wu Ying?"

Ouyang Xi looked at her with a smile and replied: "My questions are all for Qing Xiao."

"Oh? But I can see Xiao Xiao's face clearly, it doesn't seem like he likes to hear this."

"What do you know?" Ouyang Xi raised his hand to poke her on the forehead: "Qing Xiao wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, hoped to hear the answer but was afraid to know the truth, I did this to give her a push. "

"So, she has to thank you."

"Of course, look, I have to ask her to wrap me a big red envelope when things are done."

Qian Xiaobao imitated her example, and also stretched out his slender fingers to touch her forehead: "It seems that you want to earn her money more than you want to help her."

Ouyang Xi waved his hand: "This is the best of both worlds." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, looked at Qian Xiaobao and asked: "Now that it is confirmed that the person with the gold seal in the household department made the fake bank notes, what should we do next?" How to do it?"

"Speaking of which, the fake banknotes are stamped with the official seal and circulated as real banknotes. The lady thinks that a mere household secretary has such great power, or has such courage?"

After hearing the words, Ouyang Xi explained the mystery: "Could it be that Mu Huaijin ordered it again?"

"In my opinion, it must be the emperor's instruction."

"Then what should we do?" Ouyang Xi said anxiously, "He is the emperor, so we shouldn't confront him openly, but if we don't stop him, there is no guarantee that one day he will use this trick to empty out all the money in our bank. .”

The phrase "our bank" unexpectedly caused Qian Xiaobao to chuckle again, and Ouyang Xi was full of doubts: "What are you laughing at, am I not right?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

"Then you should think of a way."

Qian Xiaobao got up and stood beside the bed, looked down at her for a moment and said: "To untie the bell, the person who tied it has to be done. There is no other way to do this."

"Go directly to Mu Huaijin and ask him to remove all the fake bank notes?"

Qian Xiaobao shook his head: "Anyway, he is also the emperor. Even if we have some personal relationships, he must not allow me to be so presumptuous. But he is a smart person, as long as he tells us the clues we have found, and leads this clue to the Minister of the Household Department. On top of that, he will naturally push the boat along and stop this matter secretly."

"That……"

"I will get up now and go to the palace."
