73, gloomy wooden box

Dou Yang turned the previous harvest several times from beginning to end, and it was not until the next evening that he came back with a few things with red eyes. It was obvious that he didn't sleep all night last night. It was not a big deal that Dou Yang was so urgent. Tuoba Liang was able to send out the aces under his command, so the matter involved was definitely not simple. Although Chu Ling speculated that those people could only be considered at the bottom of the prison. Even at the bottom, their strength was still several times stronger than ordinary bandits like Heilongzhai.

How could Dou Yang not be in a hurry?

"Look, I checked everything several times. I felt that these are the ones that could be doubtful." Dou Yang put a few things on the table in front of him.

There are not many things on the table, only three.

One is an inconspicuous wooden box, but the size of a palm is so dark that it looks inconspicuous. The other is a dagger, decorated with a magnificent scabbard, which makes people have only one thought at first glance - it is valuable. In the end, it is also an exquisite hairpin. Women of the Clan do not need hairpin, which is obviously the style of the Central Plains.

"Last brother, what's wrong with these three things?" Zheng Luo asked.

Dou Yang shook his head while touching his chin, saying, "I don't know, it's just that it's more special than anything else. What do you think?"

Ye Erniang picked up the hairpin and said, "This is not."

Everyone looked at Ye Erniang, and Ye Erniang said, "This hairpin should be the ancestral belonging of the Yang family. Elizhao gave it to his wife." As he said that, Ye Erniang put the hairpin towards everyone, reached out to push a piece of flower, and there was an exquisite mark under the flower patch, "This is the mark of the Yang family's clan emblem of Hongnong."

Everyone then suddenly realized that if it weren't for Ye Erniang and others, they would have been thinking for a long time and could not understand the origin of this mark.

Chu Ling picked up the short sword and Dou Yang looked at her, "Xiao Wu, what do you think is wrong with this sword?"

Chu Ling shook the gorgeous short sword in his hand and shook his head, "No, I just think this sword is very good." It's not just the scabbard, but even the hilts are inlaid with gems. Chu Ling looked carefully and said, "This sword seems to be newly cast, but there seems to be no problem." There is no pattern mark or any special pattern. Even those gems do not seem to have any special meaning except expensive. Unless the people of the Clan who do not produce gems at all have the habit of using gems to record passwords.

Di Jun reached out to the last one, "You will take those ordinary things. In my opinion, it is clearly the most suspicious thing." There was no lock on the wooden box, and it was opened by Di Jun pulling the box. There was nothing inside. Di Jun was stunned, "Has the things inside been taken away by someone?"

Di Jun shook his head, "This box was found in the box at the bottom of the carriage behind. I took a look at it and it was empty. Those people had no time to temporarily change it."

Chu Ling reached out and said, "Fourth brother, show it to me."

Di Jun threw the box over, Chu Ling flicked his finger and frowned: "The gloomy wood has excellent quality, no problem with weight, there should be no mezzanine inside."

"That's fine, that's fine?" Di Jun said with some disappointment.

Chu Ling said: "Of course there is a problem. Who would have nothing to do to make such a box with gloomy wood? This kind of wood is not only precious and rare, but also difficult to carve. The name and color are not popular among women. The Clan is still bright, so the Clan women themselves will definitely not like this. If someone gives gifts, they should also like it."

Ye Erniang also took the box and played with it for a while but couldn't see anything special. The five people couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing that everyone could not see any results, Zheng Luo said, "The third brother has worked hard all night and go to rest first. If you have any questions, you will discuss it later."

Dou Yang nodded. Not only did his eyes turn red, but his head also ached faintly. He couldn't think of anything at all.

Chu Ling played with the ebony box and said, "Brother, can you play this for me for two days?"

Zheng Luo didn't care, "You just like to take it."

Chu Ling smiled and said nothing more, holding the box in her hand. She didn't like this dark thing, but just wanted to study it.

In a small courtyard behind the mountain village, Duan Yun was sitting in a corner of the yard reading a book. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and saw Chu Ling, and quickly stood up, "Why is the little village leader here?"

Chu Ling threw the wooden box in his hand to him and asked, "What do you think of this thing?"

Duan Yun reached out to catch it, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Is this... a gloomy wood?"

"Good eyesight." Chu Ling praised, "What do you think this box is for?"

Duan Yun looked carefully, frowned slightly and said, "I... seem to have seen this box somewhere."

Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh?"

Duan Yun looked at Chu Ling and stopped talking. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Xiao Duan, just say anything, I promise to keep my mouth shut."

Duan Yun sighed helplessly and said, "Please sit down by the master of the village."

Chu Ling walked to Duan Yun in a good manner and sat down. Duan Yun reached out and poured her a cup of tea, then picked up the wooden box on the table and said, "This should be a box used to pack the letters."

Chu Ling held his chin, "How do you know?"

Duan Yun took out a seal from his sleeve and put it in and said, "This is not only a box for the seal, but also a box for the private seal of the noble. In the Tianqi, it is not necessary to say that the official seal has a fixed specification even for the private seal. In the lower version, it is white, and the seal is this size. If the size of this box is used to seal, it is at least one of the third grade or above."

Chu Ling frowned, "This doesn't mean the problem. Maybe it just happens to be so big?"

Duan Yun pointed to several places on the edge of the box and said, "Signs are very important things, both public and private, especially for some people with high power. So in general, this box itself is part of the seal. Look at the little village master, these patterns should match the seal, or the missing seal and the box were originally carved from the same piece of wood. But... this seal..."

Duan Yun pulled the paper and pen next to him and drew several patterns on the box, frowned and said, "I have never seen such a mark."

"so?"

"So, if this is not a new family in recent years, it is a small family that was unknown in the past." Duan Yun said decisively.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Xiao Duan, you seem to be familiar with the apocalypse family."

Duan Yun paused slightly and said, "Fortunately, I just read a few more books."

Chu Ling refused to comment. This was not something you could know by reading a few more books. At least the second sister who knew the Yang family's mark did not realize that this might be the mark of a certain family.

"Okay, then please guess who the owner of this box should be?"
