Chapter 40 She Only Has Three Days Left
"Jade, go and find out what happened in town?" Jiang Rong looked as if nothing had happened.
Chang's body was thrown out of the town overnight.
They left no traces, and the officers and soldiers could not find them.
Feicui felt guilty and came to report in a hurry:
"Princess, this has nothing to do with us! I heard that someone stole a treasure from the Four Seas Gang, and the Four Seas Gang reported it to the police. Several nearby towns are now under lockdown and conducting searches!"
The Sihai Gang started out as a grain transport company, and with the support of the wealthy and powerful gentry of Jiangdong, they had astonishing wealth and were one of the tycoons among the people.
"Oh, I see..." Jiang Rong nodded slightly. It had nothing to do with her, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"I heard it's a miraculous medicine called something like Lan..." Jade muttered casually.
"Hanquan Youlan?" Jiang Rong's eyes flashed.
"Yes, that's the name!" Feicui nodded quickly: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really well-informed!"
This is the second miraculous medicine that Xie Lingxi brought back in his previous life.
What is the situation now?
The Four Seas Gang? People who stole medicine? Was there any difference from the previous life?
No matter what, let’s find Hanquan Youlan first.
Jiang Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the red dot on his wrist.
There are only three days left until her deadline.
…
A plain carriage was moving along.
Inside the car.
Jiang Rong dipped his fingers in tea and drew crisscrossing streets on the low table.
The scope of several towns pursued by officers and soldiers...
Check one by one.
The most likely place for this person to hide is the mountain temple in the north of Maple Leaf Town.
"Princess, we're here." Feicui lifted the curtain and said softly.
Jiang Rong casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped off the water stains on the table. He stood up and got off the carriage. He looked at the temples that were full of incense and said, "
"Let's go and pay our respects."
"yes."
After burning a stick of incense to the mountain god and donating some money, the temple priest generously agreed to let Jiang Rong go around.
There are rows of side rooms on the back hill of the mountain temple.
"Princess, we have checked every room, and there is no one." The secret guard reported.
Jiang Rong seemed to be thinking about something. His eyes fell on the monk who was carrying the vegetarian meal and he said, "Go to the woodshed."
…
Maple Leaf Town, County Government Office.
"I have blocked off the entire Maple Leaf Town. I will definitely be able to catch the thief who stole the medicine!" The magistrate looked at the man in fancy clothes in front of him with a flattering look on his face.
The second leader of the Four Seas Gang shook his head and said, "He may not even be in your Maple Leaf Town. The most important thing is to seal off a few checkpoints, and of course, search the town thoroughly as well!"
This time, their leader personally took action for the transaction with Wanjin Commercial Bank...
I have already taken people to the neighboring Honghua Town.
That was the direction the alliance leader had calculated was the most likely place for the thief to escape, and the several towns centered around Honghua Town were only blocked off to prevent the thief from escaping.
"Don't worry, Second Gang Leader. I will investigate the entire Maple Leaf Town thoroughly!"
…
The guard team of Wanjin Trading Company arrived at Maple Leaf Town.
"Young Master, the leader of the Four Seas Gang has taken his men to Honghua Town. The thief probably fled to Honghua Town..." the chief shopkeeper reminded.
He never expected that the day before the transaction, a thief from the Four Seas Gang sneaked in and stole the miraculous medicine.
So the two major trading companies chased all the way from Lingzhou to the outskirts of Beijing...
He had a vague feeling that his young master was in a bad mood recently, and even standing next to him he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Go to the mountain temple." Xie Lingxi didn't have any extra explanation, his voice was chilling.
The Sihai Gang, these idiots, actually had their things stolen...
The news was also blocked from the outside immediately, giving the thieves ample opportunity to escape.
Otherwise, why would he have been tracking him for so long and still not caught the person?
Only three days left...
He must find Hanquan Youlan.
…
Mountain temple, woodshed.
Chu Jue pulled off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth his three months of undercover work, his repeated achievements in the Four Seas Gang, and his becoming the personal guard of the Four Seas Gang's eldest daughter, that gave him the opportunity to sneak into the treasury and retrieve the secret treasure lost by the royal family.
Chu Jue looked at the brocade box in front of him, his thin lips curled up with a hint of pride, and he fiddled with the exquisite and complex lock on the brocade box.
This is a lock that cannot be pried open.
If you force it open, the lock will explode, destroying the contents. Only those who know the unlocking code can open this lock.
This is a mechanical lock specially used to store valuables, and ordinary people cannot open it even if they steal it.
But as the successor of mechanical engineering, he spent seven days unlocking the door while escaping, and today, he is finally going to open it!
Chu Jue proudly unlocked the last mechanism.
Just heard a click...
The lock opens.
Chu Jue opened the brocade box and laughed, "If I can find the national treasure, even my father will kowtow to me! Hehehehe!"
The next moment, Chu Jue was stunned as he looked at the herb lying quietly in the brocade box.
This is a dried orchid-like medicinal herb that exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.
What is this?
Where is the national treasure that I was looking for? What is this thing?
"Are you, Sihai Gang, playing a joke? You actually use sixteen locks to seal such a broken herb? It's the lifeblood of your entire gang, so what?" Chu Jue felt angry as if he had been fooled.
He specifically chose the box in the treasure house that was sealed with the most powerful mechanism lock.
Could this herb be more precious than the national treasure of our Great Xia?
Chu Jue couldn't understand it at all.
The National Treasure Pearl is the national treasure of Daxia.
It was stolen some time ago.
The matter was confidential, so the emperor handed it over to his trusted confidant, the commander of the Mingxin Division.
As a secret officer of the Mingxin Division, Chu Jue received this secret mission because of his superior martial arts, disguise and mechanical skills. Of course, the main reason for receiving the mission was that the commander was his father.
Various clues point to the Four Seas Gang.
In order to prevent the Sihai Gang from destroying the pearl in advance, the Mingxin Division did not seal it up directly, but instead sent people to ambush and steal it.
Chu Jue never expected that he went through so much trouble to get back a grass?
Grass!
“Bang—”
At this moment, the sound of breaking the door was heard. Before Chu Jue could react, several masked secret guards rushed in, with countless long swords pointing at his forehead.
"I am Mingxinsi..." Chu Jue said immediately.
He had not revealed his identity to the officers and soldiers before because the matter of the precious pearl had to be kept secret and could not be made public.
But now that he found out that he had taken the wrong thing, he was too lazy to run away and directly revealed his identity. No matter whether it was the Four Seas Gang or the government, who dared to attack the Emperor's personal guard Ming Xin Si...
Before I finished speaking——
A brick hit him on the head with a thud.
Chu Jue's head buzzed with a sound after being hit. At the last moment before he closed his eyes, he vaguely saw a masked woman with a pair of beautiful watery eyes.
"Princess Consort, this man seemed to say that he was from Mingxin Division...this...this...did you knock him out?" Feicui exclaimed.
"In case he threatens us with the medicine, it's better to lie down." Jiang Rong put away the brocade box and said calmly:
"I didn't hear what he said clearly. He is a thief who stole the medicine. We robbed the thief. This is called upholding justice. Let's go back immediately!"
