In the capital city of Jin State, people in the streets and alleys are talking about one thing——
The palace's priceless rare treasure "Starfish Night Pearl" was stolen, but the thieves didn't know that the starfish night pearl actually had two "male" stars! The "female" starfish night pearl was stolen. And the "male" starfish night pearl was there.
Only in the mezzanine of the brocade box!
And this starfish and night pearl can only really work if the "male and female" are together, otherwise, it will be useless!
Of course, this was part of Ling Shiyao's clever plan. First, build momentum and mobilize everyone in the capital to spread the news. Because she firmly believed that the mysterious thief must believe in the death of man, wealth and death for food, and he would definitely take risks for the sake of this rare treasure!
Then they set up nets in the palace secret storehouse to catch fish!
In the past three days, the palace's secret vault, which was heavily guarded, was safe and sound.
At night on the fourth day, Ling Shiyao specially called Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, out of the palace's secret vault and sat down on the steps of the gate.
"Director Li, do you have any children?" Ling Shiyao asked casually.
Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, looked at the handsome Fengshen sitting next to him with some doubts in the faint moonlight. He was eight feet tall, with elegant brocade clothes, a leopard head, a Chinese character face, and a pair of piercing eyes under his sword eyebrows.
, the special envoy of Qi State with confidence in his eyebrows and a calm smile on his cheek: "Special envoy... are you still in the mood to ask these questions now?"
Ling Shiyao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Director Li. This special envoy has made his own arrangements. If you and I are still standing guard in the palace secret vault, the thief may be a little afraid and won't dare to show up. So, let's give the thief a chance."
Got it!"
When Li Bufan heard this, he felt relieved and couldn't help but admire this Qi State envoy who looked much younger than himself.
Besides, the secret room of the palace was brightly lit. Fifty guards were arranged in formations at all directions, including up, down, left, front and back.
The opening methods of the twelve mechanisms were reset, and the exquisite little brocade box hung in the center of the secret vault.
Suddenly, fifty guards scattered all over the palace secret room collapsed one after another inexplicably.
I saw a masked figure in black flying up and down as light as a swallow, closing the twelve mechanisms in the palace secret vault with ease, and then using a sling to slide himself to the center of the secret vault hanging in the air.
At the exquisite brocade box in the center, the interlayer of the brocade box was gently opened.
Suddenly. "Whoosh!" With a sound, a poisonous arrow shot out from the interlayer of the small brocade box!
The skill of the masked man in black was really impressive, but he did a backflip, stretched out his ape arms, and held his hands forward - not only did he avoid the poisonous arrows shot from the interlayer of the small brocade box, but he also smoothly
He took off the exquisite little brocade box and stuffed it into his arms.
After spinning to the ground, the masked man in black looked at the fallen guards around him, stood up proudly, and was about to use the bone-shrinking technique to drill out from a plate-sized vent on the top of the palace secret room.
.
Suddenly a cold snort came from the back of his head: "Humph! Still want to shrink back and run away?"
The masked man in black was shocked! He waved his backhand, no one was there?!
"Humph! I'm always behind you, but you can never hit me!"
The masked man in black hooked his left hand on the plate-sized vent on the top of the palace's secret vault, and swept the five fingers of his right hand behind him like an eagle's talons. At the same time, he rolled his legs back and swept back, and used the opportunity to draw out the ventilation holes by retracting the bones of his feet and head.
mouth, a backflip, his feet connected, his body cut through the night like lightning, and flew away...
Half an hour later, the two guards guarding the vents on the top of the palace's secret vault woke up from their coma. They saw obvious cracks in the vents, knew something was wrong, and hurriedly sent out a flame signal.
Ling Shiyao and Li Bufan, the director of the secret reconnaissance department who were sitting on the steps outside the palace's secret treasury, rushed into the door immediately, raised their heads and looked around, and saw that the exquisite little brocade box in the center of the palace's secret treasury was missing. Then they looked around and just left the sentry post.
The guard who stood up unsteadily immediately understood what had happened...
"It's over... the big thief succeeded again! I really don't know how he did it? There are a hundred guards with high martial arts skills inside and outside the palace secret vault, including the top of the secret vault, plus twelve killing mechanisms... this
How did the thief succeed?!" Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, said to himself very annoyed.
Yi Rongqiao dressed up as Yi Fengqi, and Ling Shiyao, as the special envoy of the King of Qi, smiled and did not answer, but lightly patted Li Bufan on the shoulder.
"Special envoy, do you think your arrest plan was successful?" Li Bufan looked at Ling Shiyao doubtfully and asked.
"Haha..." Ling Shiyao patted Li Bufan's shoulder again: "Okay, Director Li, you can go home and have a good sleep now! See you in the palace tomorrow—!" Before she could finish her words, Ling Shiyao passed away like smoke...
…
At noon the next day, it was the fifth day set by Emperor Yankao of the Jin Dynasty to Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, to solve the case, which was also the final deadline.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Emperor Yankao sat in person, and the six ministers sat on the left and right. The emperor's first favorite Sima Zhang Haodan shouted to the outside of the lobby: "Take - the prisoner -!"
Accompanied by the sound of "dong dong dong", Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, personally escorted a masked man in black who was tied up into the lobby.
"Kneel down!" Li Bufan yelled, and kicked the masked man in black on the back of his leg. The masked man knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Take off the mask!" Sima Zhang Haodan ordered.
"Wha—!" Li Bufan, director of the Secret Investigation Department, ripped off the black mask on the head of the masked man in black...
ah--?!
It turned out to be—Yuan Shanzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry!
"You...you are committing theft?!" Wang Heyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and asked in horror.
"Bold traitor! Recruit from the ground——!" Sima Zhang Haodan said sternly.
Yuan Shanzhi, the minister of the prison labor department, had a stick on his neck and did not answer.
Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I request that envoy Yifeng Qi from the State of Qi come to the court to explain the investigation of the case!"
"That's right——!" Emperor Jin Guo Yankao waved his hand.
"I would like to invite envoy Yi Fengqi from the State of Qi to come to the court!" Sima Zhang Haodan shouted loudly.
But when he saw Ling Shiyao, disguised as Yi Fengqi, as the special envoy of the King of Qi, he walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment at a fast pace and saluted: "I have met Emperor Yankao!"
"No courtesy! Please tell us how you caught the thief, envoy Yi Fengqi!" Emperor Yankao of Jin waved his hand and said.
Ling Shiyao stood up and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is right, the criminal Yuan Shanzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a 'guardian who steals'!"
Ling Shiyao circled around Yuan Shanzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was kneeling on the ground and still holding his neck stubbornly. Then he pointed at the bridge of his nose and said: "After me... I assisted Li Bufan, the director of the Secret Investigation Department, to adopt special measures.
Through careful investigation, it was discovered that Yuan Shanzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had mastered all the secrets of the twelve mechanisms in the secret vault while supervising the renovation of the secret vault of the palace. Later, it was discovered that the secret vault of the palace only had the entrance gate and the outside of the secret vault every day.
The circle was guarded by ten guards. Then for the first time, he relied on his superb lightness skills to fly to the top of the palace's secret storehouse at night, and then used his bone-shrinking skills to successfully enter the unguarded ventilation through the vent on the top of the palace's secret storehouse.
In the secret vault of the palace, which was still unguarded, he dismantled the twelve mechanisms in the secret vault one by one, and successfully stole the priceless rare treasure 'Starfish Night Pearl'! Then, he returned the same way without anyone noticing.
Flying away..."
