Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 10 He came to see her
Zhao Keer felt hatred every time she saw Luo Ning. After a dance, she turned around and said, "You, can you solve any case?"

Luo Ning has seen unruly women, but there are not many people who are so direct in making things difficult.

"All subordinates do their best!"

"Queen Yue has lost a Heilan Pearl. The whole palace has checked it, but it's still not there. Go look for it!" Zhao Ke'er ordered!
Luo Ning explained patiently: "Princess, I'm afraid it's not in line with the procedures. Dali Temple is responsible for major cases, murder cases, if the queen throws something, report it to the Supervision Department in the palace first. If it involves outside the palace, report it to Jingzhao Mansion. People need to be arrested, and there are Jinyi guards. …”

"Okay, you just don't want to do it, don't you? I'll ask my father to give the order tomorrow and let you go check it out!"

Zhao Keer felt happy. This method of punishing Luo Ning was so good. She really wanted to give herself a thumbs up.

Almost two months have passed since the incident. It depends on how she checks it out, so she makes a bet:
"If you find out, I will call you sister and wipe out the past. If you can't find out, pour a cup of tea for each of us here today!"

Luo Ning really didn't accept it, and it didn't matter if he didn't.

Miss Qi came over to smooth things over: "Princess, there's no need to pour tea. Why don't Master Luo be the host and invite us again?"

The other ladies also agreed. A princess, a minister of Dali Temple, no one should be offended: "Yes, yes, another song and dance performance would not be bad!"

Luo Ning looked at Xu An with a look of helplessness, and Xu An also looked at her innocently, as if he had done something wrong.

Just like that, the good Mr. Luo came out to relax and took on another case!
What made Luo Ning even more unbearable was that the Heilan Pearl case was actually related to the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

The next day, Qin Zhao entered Dali Temple. Not only Luo Ning was surprised, but Song Zhuer's eyes widened in shock. Master Qin came to Dali Temple too often. Besides, he came as often as he came, and he actually had a box of rice flower scented ones in his hand. dessert.

Is this for Lord Luo?

Even Master Li in the next room saw it and stretched his neck to look this way.

Qin Zhao calmly walked into the room and said to Song Zhuer: "Go and pour tea!"

Then he turned to Luo Ning and said, "Master Luo, I bought too many Daohuaxiang snacks."

After saying that, he put the snacks on Luoning's desk, found the chair closest to Luoning, and sat down!

Song Zhuer suddenly ran out, Master Qin was so strange!

When Song Zhuer came in with tea, Qin Zhao stood up and said goodbye. Seeing Master Luo's shy expression, Song Zhuer didn't know what they just said.

He was so shocked that he watched Qin Zhao go out, then turned back and asked: "Sir?"

"Let's go, you follow me into the palace!" Luo Ning covered up his embarrassment.

Song Zhu stared at Luo Ning, unable to understand why, and followed her out of Dali Temple happily!

The Pearl Queen did not expect that the fifth princess actually asked the minister of Dali Temple to find her lost Hai Lan Pearl.

Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him for losing the bead. It was a tribute item from a foreign party. It was crystal clear. Although the bead was not big, it was deeply loved by him.

The arrival of Luo Ning ignited her hope again!How did she know that Zhao Ke'er just wanted to make things difficult for Luo Ning.

"Lord Luo, I'm really grateful that you can come and investigate my pearl theft case. I also know that this is a matter within the palace, so I didn't dare to trouble the emperor and alert the Dali Temple before!" After saying this, he motioned to the palace maid to give him a signal. Luo Ning poured tea.

"My daughter is scared. The Queen is too polite. This is what a daughter should do." Luo Ning lowered his head and said.

"I know the rules of the court. The case in this palace cannot be found in Dali Temple, but the emperor asked you to help me find pearls. I am very happy. That pearl really won my heart!"

"Queen, can you recall the scene on the day the pearl was stolen?"

"About two months ago, because the palace has been busy with the Queen Mother's birthday, all the palaces were in a hurry. I was looking for something to present to the Queen Mother that day, so I took the Hailan Pearl as well. Come out!" the queen recalled slowly.

"The Hailan Pearl was taken out and placed on the table in the back hall. Suddenly Concubine Xiao Shu came to report something, so I went out to the front hall. When I came back, everything else was there, only the Hailan Pearl was lost!"

When the queen said this, she felt a little sad when she thought of that day: "It was gone in just a moment!"

"Empress, there should not be many people who can enter and leave the apse on weekdays. Did you search carefully that day?" Luo Ning asked.

"On weekdays, there are only four maids in the back hall. At that time, they were immediately found, questioned, and searched. There were no problems with them all!" The queen explained:
"There is no time for me to leave without a stick of incense, and there is only one corridor between the front and back halls. I have never seen anyone coming or going from the palace! Besides, these maids have been maids for more than ten years, and they have many opportunities to meet Hai Lanzhu. , There has never been a problem before!" The queen shook her head.

"Queen, are all the maids on duty that day here? I want to ask a question! In addition, can I go to the palace where the Hailan Pearl was kept?" Luo Ning asked.

Queen Pearl quickly ordered the old nanny: "Take your Excellency to the back hall, call all the maids from Changsheng Palace, and ask Lord Luo to question you carefully!"

Luo Ning saluted and was about to leave, the queen quickly spoke:
"If I can find my Hailan Pearl, I will definitely thank Master Luo!"

Luo Ning had no choice but to declare: "My daughter will do her best!"

When Luo Ning arrived at the back hall, four palace maids were already standing together. They all seemed to be of a certain age. As the queen said, they must have been in the palace for a long time.

"Where were you after the queen left that day?" Luo Ning asked.

One of them replied: "I stood guard next to the porch of the back hall, which is the place where the empress must pass to go to the front hall. The rules in the palace should know that the place where the queen passes must have a maid, so I always Stand there until the queen comes back!"

"Have you ever seen anyone suspicious?" Luo Ning knew he wouldn't, so he just asked a regular question!

"No one has ever passed by!" the palace maid replied politely!

Luo Ning nodded and looked around the room. Song Zhuer had already formed a habit and was taking notes with a pen and paper.

This is a square wing room with only one window. The four walls of the room are covered with wooden partitions. There are blue and white porcelain vases and fan embroidery on them. There are some headscarves and jewelry on the lower rows of partitions.

Luo Ning pointed to the beaded flowers and headdress: "Didn't anything inside here get lost that day?"

A palace maid took the initiative to answer: "Yes, sir, I checked carefully later and found that except for the Hailan Pearl, not a single piece of jewelry was missing!"

Another fat palace maid also said: "My lord, the Queen took out a lot of jewels that day and wanted to select them to present to the Queen Mother. They were all placed on this table. There was a lack of Hailan Pearls that day!"

"Where were you at that time?" Luo Ning asked.

The fat palace maid replied: "I was in this room. The Queen went to the front hall and back. I was putting the unnecessary ornaments back to their original places. Suddenly I remembered that the sandalwood incense in the Queen's palace was still burning, so I went back once. It's only a few hundred steps over there." He pointed to the dormitory opposite.

Luo Ning looked in the direction of his finger, and it was indeed not far away.

The other two maids also hurriedly replied: "Sir, we have never left this room!"

Luo Ning was even more surprised. Could it be that the Heilan Pearl disappeared by itself?
