That night.
In a row of houses.
Shangguan Hongzhe was sitting in a black suit.
He has become so easy that no one recognizes him.
His beard was half a foot long and his face was covered with wrinkles.
If you are not particularly familiar with this person, you would never associate him with anyone.
“Lin, this is our last chance. We must bring the iron box back to Canglan. I will escort it personally.
Now Prince Rong is recuperating outside the city, and the Crown Prince has gone out to fight. The only ones who can stop us are some secret guards in the palace, so it won't be difficult.
Now that we have opened the secret passage leading out of the city, this opportunity cannot be missed or lost."
"Yes, son." The man named Lin is Shangguan Hongzhe's most senior deputy. He is also the most powerful martial artist around Shangguan Hongzhe.
So we took him along for the escort this time.
"Are all the people outside the city feeling well?"
"Reply, there are 10 to 20 of us, waiting on the road we must take. They will protect us all the way to the border.
And we found a waterway. Although it is dangerous, the border defense of Wei generally does not care about it. It is the best place to go to Canglan." Lin had already made all the arrangements.
This time they made the route more precise so that it wouldn't be discovered like last time.
"Yes." Shangguan Hongzhe was very satisfied with his arrangement. "Cang, after I leave, you will take over all the spies and personnel in the entire Wei Dynasty. As for Concubine Wan in the palace, you will do your best to help her and let the third prince take the throne."
Shangguan Hongzhe arranged another subordinate, who was also his biggest helper in management.
The Third Prince is just a fool in his eyes. It is most beneficial for Canglan to have such a person in power. Otherwise, he would not try every possible means to destroy the First Prince.
"Yes, Zi." Cangyi bowed.
These two people were trained by his father himself and are very loyal.
After he leaves, there's no need to worry about him doing bad things.
The end of the Yin hour is when people sleep the deepest.
Of course Yu Yuanzheng was also sleeping soundly.
Now that Shangguan Ziqi was not around, she moved all three children into the inner room to sleep in the same room with her, except for one extra small bed.
The two sons slept in the small bed, and the daughter and she slept in the big bed.
She tried her best to take care of the children herself and not leave everything to the servants.
She likes the intimate relationship between husband and wife.
Whether a child will be filial in the future depends on the strength of family affection.
The four of them were sleeping in a sprawling state.
There was an iron box on the table in the main hall of Linheyuan.
No lights were on.
At the end of the month, the night was so dark that you couldn't see your hand.
At this moment, the table rose slightly and then moved forward little by little.
When it moved about three feet away, it stopped.
A hole appeared where the table was placed.
A figure quietly poked his head out from the cave.
I was delighted when I saw something on the table in the dim light coming in from the corridor lamp.
It was really amazing! He didn’t even have to look for it, it was right in front of him.
He immediately retracted his head, took out a hook, and with a light hook, the iron box fell into the hole.
No sound was made.
Then the table was gently moved back to its original position.
Without anyone noticing.
Such an operation could not be detected by the secret guards guarding various places in Linhe Courtyard.
The secret guards took turns on duty. After Qizi went to sleep, they would come in to check once every hour.
Xia Yu is leading the team on duty tonight.
When he came in and saw that the iron box was missing, he opened his eyes and was shocked.
Blow the whistle immediately.
Ten secret guards appeared in unison.
I lit the light and saw that it had indeed disappeared.
Although they relaxed a little, they didn't notice it at all, which was really embarrassing.
When did the thief come in and where did he come from?
I have no idea.
The maid who was sleeping in the outer room and Yu Yuanzheng who was sleeping in the inner room woke up immediately when they heard the whistle.
Then the whole palace was in an uproar.
It was already the morning hour, and although it was still dark, many officials who were about to attend court had gotten up and were getting ready.
Chunlei took the card and took her into the palace.
This was left by the prince for them, just in case.
When the emperor learned that the iron box was missing again, he was so angry that he started cursing.
"Damn the Canglan people."
At this time, the city gate had just been opened for a short time, and it was immediately closed.
Immediately afterwards, the whole city was once again under martial law and search.
The city defense guards, Jingzhao Yin, and the imperial city guards were all dispatched.
But after a day of searching, there was no result. Only two more Canglan country spy dens were found.
Even the hideouts of two spies from the Southern Shu Kingdom were found.
All kinds of torture were used on the spies from Canglan Kingdom, but no results were obtained.
They know nothing.
They were only responsible for gathering information and passing on messages, and they had no involvement in the iron box incident.
These two hideouts were naturally arranged by Shangguan Hongzhe in the open so that they could be discovered by Dawei, and the purpose was of course to delay time.
The prince also received the news soon, but he did not return to Beijing.
The reason was that he couldn't move yet and couldn't look for the iron box, which made the emperor feel more worried.
The emperor had no choice but to call Prince Jing and put him in charge of finding the iron box.
When Yu Yuanzheng learned that the task of finding 㱕 fell on his adoptive father, he was speechless.
Are these two princes the only ones the emperor trusts the most?
The most important things are always arranged by her father-in-law and her stepfather.
Yu Yuanzheng called Qiu Feng and Dong Ling over.
"You two, take ten secret guards from the palace and help Prince Jing find the iron box."
Although the thing has been opened, it is something left by our ancestors. How can we let Canglan get it?
And there is a box inside that she has not opened yet. Maybe her ancestors have hidden treasures, locked in that small box.
Yu Yuanzheng thought optimistically.
So the iron box must be found no matter what.
"Yes, I obey your command." The two responded in unison.
Then Yu Yuanzheng took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and gave them.
"This is twenty thousand taels of silver, which should be enough for your journey. If it's not enough, you can go to the various Shiri-tangs to get some."
Their lives are guaranteed.
"Thank you, Princess."
The Crown Prince's wife is so nice that she even took this into consideration and didn't let them use her own money.
Normally, when these secret guards were carrying out their missions, they would often use the money they had on them and then report back to the butler.
But there is much less oil and water.
The Crown Prince's wife just gave him money directly and didn't have to hand in the remaining money.
They both knew it well.
The two happily ordered ten people and set off.
Prince Jing and Prince Jing's son also hurriedly arranged their family affairs and left the capital with their people that same day.
Outside the city gate, several young masters from aristocratic families were waiting there, ready to search for the iron box together.
They also want to take some credit.
Of course Zhao Jinyu is also on the list.
As a result, they were stopped along the way, which slowed down their journey.
It also shows that their search for direction is correct.
Three days later, peace returned to the capital.
These two days, Yu Yuanzheng has been thinking about a question.
How did the thief steal the iron box?
Although the secret guards relaxed a little, they were not completely unaware.
They would wait for someone to fall into the government, let the other party succeed in the fight, and then track down and capture the enemy in one fell swoop.
As a result, after preparing for a long time, it didn't work at all.
And someone succeeded.
One person's plan is short, but many people's plan is long.
Yu Yuanzheng called Chunlei and the other three to analyze the situation together.
She had to find out.
I guess the same method was used when the iron box was stolen the first time.
