The Jin State was strong and had a powerful military.
Most of the time in the Jin State, the power of the ministers was relatively balanced, so that the king could maintain his rule. However, as the ministers fought among themselves, many countries also intentionally supported these ministers in order to disrupt the Jin State. This was This led to the gradual intensification of internal strife in Jin.
Although Jin Dynasty has always been in a very prosperous stage, behind the scenery is the endless fighting within Jin Dynasty.
These endless battles gave Emperor Yankao of Jin a lot of headaches. He often had bad food and drinks and couldn't sleep at night...
Fortunately, Sima Zhang Haodan of the Jin Kingdom obtained the magic medicine from nowhere. Emperor Yankao took this green magic medicine the next day and felt refreshed and swaying like a god...
After the night banquet that night, Emperor Yankao of Jin State had just taken the magic medicine given to him by Sima Zhang Haodan of Jin State. He was happily taking Sima Zhang Haodan to drink wine in Yongle Palace and watch the beautiful dance of fairy music. Suddenly, the captain of the guard came in a hurry. Come in and report: "Report to the Emperor! The Starfish Night Pearl has been stolen!"
ah--?!
Emperor Yankao of Jin State and Sima Zhang Haodan of Jin State were shocked when they heard this!
This "starfish night pearl" is the national treasure of the Jin State! This night pearl is the size of a goose egg, exuding sea-blue light, smooth and round, refreshing the heart and lungs when held in the hand, and soothing to the whole body. It is said that it is like holding it in the mouth , can make the corpse incorruptible and live forever for thousands of years!
Ever since a business group in the Western Regions specially paid tribute to Emperor Yankao of this priceless "starfish night pearl" in order to please Emperor Yankao of Jin State.
Emperor Yankao was overjoyed to get this rare treasure, and immediately placed this beautiful "starfish night pearl" in the secret vault of the palace.
After learning that the rare treasure "Starfish Night Pearl" had been stolen, all civil and military officials followed Emperor Yankao and rushed outside the palace secret vault.
"Your Majesty, this palace secret treasury has always been heavily guarded and guarded, and the Starfish Night Pearl is placed in a safe with many mechanisms. It would be extremely difficult to steal the Starfish Night Pearl! Could it be... "Sima Zhang Haodan whispered in Emperor Yankao's ear.
Ever since Sima Zhang Haodan presented the magical elixir to Emperor Yankao, he suddenly became the most favored minister around Emperor Yankao.
"Zhang Aiqing said... there are people... guarding and stealing?!" Emperor Yankao asked doubtfully.
Sima Zhang Haodan nodded vigorously: "It is very possible!"
Emperor Yankao thought for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Where is Li Bufan?!"
"Your Majesty, the Director of the Secret Investigation Department, Li Bufan, is here!" A burly middle-aged man immediately knelt down in front of Emperor Yankao.
"Tell me about it..." Emperor Yankao glanced at the civil and military officials who came after hearing the news and stood tremblingly outside the palace's secret vault, and said to Li Bufan, director of the Royal Secret Investigation Department.
Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, did not dare to neglect and reported: "Our Secret Investigation Department immediately inspected the scene of the crime. The guards at the fifty posts inside and outside the palace's secret vault did not find anyone coming. I checked it myself. The twelve mechanisms in the palace's secret vault were all intact and showed no signs of being activated. The safety lock on the brocade box containing the starfish and night pearls had not been opened, but... the valuable one stored in the brocade box Liancheng's rare treasure 'Starfish Night Pearl' has indeed disappeared..." Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, said the last word, his voice so small that he almost lost his voice...
After hearing this, Emperor Yankao of the Jin Dynasty snorted coldly: "Nonsense! I'll give you five days and if you can't find the Starfish Night Pearl, come back and see me!" After saying that, he waved his hand and left!
Amidst the whispers of the civil and military officials who were leaving one after another, Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, slowly stood up, touched his neck, and said to himself: "It seems that the head on my neck is... This time there is no guarantee..."
"Not necessarily..." There was a sudden chuckle in the darkness, which startled Li Bufan. He casually drew out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Who! Stand up -!"
"Hula la—!" Hearing the sound, more than a dozen secret agents from the Secret Investigation Department drew their swords and gathered around.
Hmm——?! There are no outsiders!
What the hell?!
"Hmph! You have the guts to steal the Starfish Night Pearl, but don't have the guts to come out and see people?" Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, scanned the surroundings with bright eyes. There was no one else except his own people...
"Haha... the method of stimulating generals is useless to me, let alone why do you think I am the one who stole the Starfish Night Pearl?"
The voice seemed to be right in front of Li Bufan, but Li Bufan couldn't see anyone at all! Li Bufan asked with some confusion: "Have you seen the person who spoke?"
The dozen secret agents from the Secret Investigation Department who surrounded Li Bufan all said they had not seen it.
Damn it! Li Bufan, Director of the Secret Investigation Department, has been engaged in secret investigation for more than ten years and has cracked hundreds of dangerous and bizarre major cases, but today...
He raised his real power and was about to swing his sword to slash at the person opposite him, but that strange voice sounded from behind his head: "You are the only one who can hear what I say now! Don't bother, Mr. Li! I'll stick to it." Behind you, even if you pierce your back, you can't hurt me at all! Because, I am - a transparent invisible person!"
ah--?!
Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, was shocked when he heard this!
The invisible man continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Li! I am a friend, not an enemy, otherwise you would have been dead! You go back to sleep now, and at noon tomorrow, you go to the palace to see the emperor. I will help you to solve this shocking crime." case!"
When he said the last sentence, Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, clearly felt that the mysterious invisible man was already ten feet away...
… … … … … …
At noon the next day, the Jin Palace’s military secret hall.
There are three thousand imperial guards outside the palace, with swords and guns in hand, and they are heavily guarded.
There are only four people in the hall——
Emperor Yankao of the Jin Dynasty and his first favorite minister Sima Zhang Haodan, and Director of the Secret Investigation Department Li Bufan. There is also a young man, but I saw him. He is handsome and handsome, with elegant brocade clothes. He is eight feet tall, has a leopard head, a face with a Chinese character, and under his sword eyebrows are A pair of bright eyes, brows full of confidence, and a calm smile on his cheeks.
This person is none other than Ling Shiyao, who is disguised as Yi Fengqi and is the special envoy of the King of Qi!
"I just heard what the special envoy said. Now the special envoy has a plan to solve the mysterious theft case of the Starfish Night Pearl?" Emperor Yankao of Jin asked.
"Well... yes, but my plan will only work if the great assistance of Emperor Yankao, Sima Zhang Haodan, and Director of the Secret Investigation Department Li Bufan!" Ling Shiyao said.
Sima Zhang Haodan said hurriedly: "That's for sure! This is what we should do! Your Majesty, are you right?!"
"It must! It must! Just say it, special envoy! We will definitely go all out!" Emperor Yankao nodded.
At this time, Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, had already guessed that the special envoy from Qi who suddenly came to visit must be related to the mysterious invisible man last night! If he is really "a friend but not an enemy" as he said, this
But it immediately gave him the confidence to solve the case!
But at the same time, he also had a deep doubt in his heart. If this mysterious invisible man was an enemy rather than a friend, wouldn't it be easy to steal the rare treasure "Starfish Night Pearl"? Don't do it this time - the thief shouts, catch the thief.
!
Thinking of this, Director of the Secret Investigation Department Li Bufan broke out in a cold sweat... Let's first listen to what this mysterious special envoy of Qi said!
In fact, the invisible man last night was Ling Shiyao's "invisible man"...
