Chapter 91: Seal Thief



When Lu Zheng heard that the official seal was lost, he immediately suspected Jiang Sanniang, but he quickly shook his head. If it was really Jiang Sanniang who did it, she would not have revealed her identity so easily. So, could it be the other gang?

Lu Xun, who was standing by, saw Lu Zheng's face change, and knew that something must have happened. He smiled and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here, sir. I am Lu Xun, and I, your third brother, really don't know how to behave. I am really ashamed. I hope you won't mind it."

The official had seen Lu Xun a long time ago, and saw him standing next to Lu Zheng in casual clothes. He didn't know his identity, so he didn't want to act rashly. Now that he knew that the other party was Lu Xun, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly said, "So it's General Lu, I'm polite."

Lu Xun said, "My younger brother has always been spoiled at home and doesn't know etiquette. Your Excellency has worked hard for his little thing, "I have never hosted a reception for you, so I hope you will give me some face and accompany me to drink and apologize."

The official was very pleased with this and said hurriedly, "General Lu, you are too polite."

The two of them refused insincerely for a long time, and the official finally agreed reluctantly.

Lu Xun smiled and ordered his personal soldiers to prepare a banquet, and then led the official out. At this time, the two of them had become brothers.

Lu Zheng knew that this was the time his second brother had bought for him, so he quickly seized the opportunity and walked quickly to his room while whispering to Bao Zheng: "What happened?"

Bao Zheng cried: "My Lord asked me to get the official seal, but when I entered, I found that my Lord's study was turned upside down and the official seal was taken away!"

Lu Zheng frowned. At this moment, they had already arrived at the study. When they opened the door, it was indeed a mess as Bao Zheng said, and all kinds of case files were thrown on the floor. The lock of the cabinet where the official seal was placed was pried open, and the official seal inside disappeared.

At this moment, other people who knew the news also rushed over.

Lu Zheng asked, "You were all at home this morning, did you find anything strange?"

Liu Zhi was the first to say, "I was embroidering in my room and didn't hear any sound."

Tiedan and Shihu, who had been sneaking out to play together recently, also admitted it with their heads down.

Gu Xiang also shook his head honestly, "I didn't hear any sound either."

It was You Xiaowu who thought for a while before saying, "If you want to say it's strange, I did think of one thing."

"What?!"

"These few days when I went out to gather information, I always felt like I was being spied on, but when I turned around, I didn't see anyone." You Xiaowu frowned, "I'm such a small person, who would spend time to gather information about me? I'm afraid they are coming for you, sir."

Bao Zheng also woke up as if from a dream: "Yes, I have had such a feeling too."

Tiedan was shocked and said, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

You Xiaowu shook his head and said to Lu Zheng, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Lu Zheng pondered. Apart from the few people present, the only ones who knew that the official seal was not stolen were the real and fake red-clothed thieves. If it wasn't Jiang Sanniang, then it must be that group of mysterious forces.

At this moment, Gu Xiang suddenly said, "Sir, may I say something?"

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him, and Gu Xiang said, "Not many people know about this matter now, except us and the Red Thief. If the secret was leaked from us, it means there is a traitor among us."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was staring at him. He said helplessly, "Of course, if there is a traitor, I am the most likely person."

Lu Zheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "I believe you."

"Okay." Gu Xiang said seriously, "Then the criminal is the Red Thief. Only he knows that the official seal has not been stolen..."

Lu Zheng then remembered that he had not told them the identity of Jiang Sanniang, and hurriedly told them the real and fake Red Thief and his own speculation.

Gu Xiang nodded and said, "I agree with you, sir. If Jiang Sanniang had stolen the official seal, she would never have disclosed her identity so openly. I think she did it in the hope that you could find the impostor. If that's the case, why would the impostor do such a thing? If he did it, it means it's in his interest. Then who will benefit if you lose the official seal?"

Bao Zheng said cautiously, "Ma County Magistrate?"

Before Gu Xiang could deny it, You Xiaowu rolled his eyes at him, "If the county magistrate is really the red-robed thief, I believe you."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gu Xiang paused, and Lu Zheng glared at the two before saying, "You continue."

"Let's start with the case of the great good man Lu. As you said, the purpose of this impostor is the same as yours. What did you do to make him feel that your purpose is different from his, or even harm his interests?"

Lu Zheng's mind moved: King Wei! But soon he frowned again. No, if the other party surrendered to King Wei, he shouldn't remind himself that Li Si was killed by Lu Enguang, so that he could find something wrong with the body. What exactly is it?

Lu Zheng walked around the hall irritably.

Seeing this, You Xiaowu hurriedly asked Gu Xiang: "No more?"

Gu Xiang innocently spread his hands. He had too little information. He knew that he was not one of them, so he was not surprised that some things were hidden from him. In the past few days of getting along with them, he became more and more adapted and gradually gained their trust. Otherwise, Lu Zheng would not let him know about something like today. Lu Zheng

's steps gradually slowed down. He put aside these intricate clues and made the most intuitive guess, that is, whose interests were harmed by his arrival. And thinking so, he gradually had an answer in his heart.

Lu Zheng stood still and said slowly: "Bao Zheng's idea is correct..."

You Xiaowu looked at Lu Zheng in shock. Even Bao Zheng himself was a little unbelievable. He said in a lost voice: "It's really that Ma guy!"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "It's not him. You all missed someone."

"Who?"

"Jin Hanxuan."

Lu Zheng did not think about it at first, but Bao Zheng's words reminded him that his arrival was like an unknown factor, breaking the balance between Ma County Magistrate and Jin Hanxuan. Ma County Magistrate certainly wanted him to get out of here quickly, but what about Jin Hanxuan? He had only tried it a little before, and then he was very cooperative. It was these things that reduced Lu Zheng's vigilance against him.

If Jin Hanxuan is really the Red Thief, or he is the leader of this organization, then it can explain why the Red Thief has not been caught in Qingxi County for so many years. It is like the police chief is an undercover agent, so it is impossible for him to be caught in this way.

But Lu Zheng did not immediately go to Jin Hanxuan to play cards, but asked them to bring in the cook Pang Saozi and the servant named Yuanbao.

The two were brought to the master's house for no reason, and they thought they had done something wrong, and there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

Lu Zheng said, "You have been working hard for so long. I don't want much. How much did I pay to buy you? Take the indentures with the money, or I will have to sell you again."

Both of them were shocked, but they reacted quickly and kowtowed, "No, sir."

Lu Zheng didn't even move his eyes, and said directly, "Why bother? Take the indentures back early to report to your master, right?"

Yuan Bao looked confused, but Mrs. Pang had a look of unnaturalness on her face.

Lu Zheng pretended not to see it, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After the two left, Lu Zheng said, "Keep an eye on Mrs. Pang and see where she goes."

Bao Zheng agreed and left.

In the evening, Bao Zheng came back and said, "Your Excellency guessed correctly. This Mrs. Pang really went to see Fang Yuan."

Lu Zheng nodded. This indeed explained many of his doubts. Why did the Red Thieves know their actions so clearly? Lu Zheng was unwilling to suspect his own people, so there were only a few outsiders. To be honest, Lu Zheng was most suspicious of Gu Xiang at the beginning, but he also knew that if it was Gu Xiang, unless the other party was a fool, it would take a lot more for him to plot behind the scenes than for him to come forward as an undercover agent. Then there were only Mrs. Pang and Yuan Bao.

Lu Zheng used this trick to find the undercover agent, so that he could put on a show in front of the other party and try to catch this big fish out of the water.

At this point, Lu Zheng was reluctantly relieved.

Lu Xun found him. Although he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were particularly bright. He said directly, "If you need help, find my second brother."

Lu Zheng knew Lu Xun's good intentions and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, second brother."

Lu Xun rubbed his hair, "Listen, if you call me second brother, I will be your second brother for the rest of my life. An elder brother is there to protect his younger brother from wind and rain, so you never need to say thank you to your second brother." Lu

Zheng lowered his head and felt his eyes were a little wet. He didn't dare to let Lu Xun see it, so he could only nod heavily.

Lu Xun smiled, then burped, and his expression changed immediately: "This old guy looks like a civil servant, but how come he drinks more than a soldier? Third brother, if you have anything to do, hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." As he said that, he lay down in the pool beside him and vomited.

Lu Zheng felt warm and funny in his heart. At this moment, all his resentment and resentment about coming to this world disappeared. Maybe he will still think about the modern times, but that is already a memory.
