Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth, retribution is coming
The night was dark, and the entire Anpinghou Mansion was very quiet. Only a few lanterns were still hanging, and most of the people were already asleep.
A woman sneaked up to the rockery next to the Yaoshui Pavilion, looked around, pinched her mouth, and made a low bird call.
I listened carefully, but there was no response.
Then I groped deeper into the rockery, but there was no one there. The woman anxiously pinched her mouth and let out a few bird calls. She leaned against the rockery again and listened, but there was still nothing.
The mother-in-law turned around anxiously, walking in place for a long time, making bird calls from time to time, but in the end she still didn't wait for anyone, so she could only leave in fear and go to the side door.
Opening the side door, I knocked lightly on the opposite side door. The door opened, and there was also a woman on the opposite side. When I saw the woman from Xuanping Hou Mansion, the woman opposite asked: "Where is the person?"
"No...no one." The wife of Xuanping Hou Mansion gasped.
"No one is there?" the mother-in-law of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was anxious, "How come there is no one? Someone must have entered your house."
"There is really no one. I walked around there for a long time and I didn't see anyone. Could it be that... something happened?" The mother-in-law of Xuanping Hou Mansion was also very anxious.
"Go and take a look again, I'm sure someone will be there." The mother-in-law of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was very anxious.
"I can't find anyone again." The mother-in-law of Xuanpinghou Mansion was also very panicked. A grown man disappeared inexplicably. Something was going to happen.
"If you can't find anyone, you have to look for him again." The wife of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion said angrily.
The mother-in-law of Xuanpinghou Mansion turned around helplessly and took a step forward. The mother-in-law of Zhengyuanhou Mansion said: "Wait a minute, I will go and take a look with you."
She didn't believe that this person was gone. She was the one who brought him here and hid him when she saw him. Could it be that he hadn't succeeded yet?
The two side doors were ajar, and the two women sneaked into the Yaoshui Pavilion.
As soon as they left, the guards appeared at the side door with the man. The man had already changed into a new set of black clothes and limped into the door of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
The guards followed quietly, hiding in the darkness of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
The man entered the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, looked around, and moved his legs. His legs and feet hurt, but they were not broken. This reminded him of the beating he had just received. It was still a light one and he almost died. When he thought about it,
No longer pretending to be lame, go to a small road in the middle. Following this road, you can go directly to Mrs. Yu's yard.
This was what he had ordered before he came here, and he will come back again after everything is done!
The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion was also very quiet. Only occasionally a lantern was hung at the corner for lighting. It was late at night and everyone who should sleep had already fallen asleep.
Mrs. Yu's courtyard door was ajar. There was only a lamp on the corridor on the right, and there was also a faint light in the main room. The rest of the place was dark, and everyone must have gone to sleep.
The man walked into the dark place against the corner of the courtyard gate, stopping from time to time and squatting still. One look at him and he knew that he was doing this kind of thing frequently.
Finally, we arrived at the window of the main room. The window was ajar in Xia Tian. He opened it slightly. The man skillfully took out a tube from his arms, lit it, inserted it into the window, and then waited slowly...
…
Sure enough, not long after, he heard two heavy "plop" and "plop" sounds inside. The man hurriedly shook the cigarette out of his hand, pushed open the window, and first dispersed the smell, and then carefully went in while holding his breath.
A mother-in-law, an old lady, dressed in gorgeous clothes, this should be Mrs. Yu.
The man went over to give Mrs. Yu a cruel kick. It was this dead old woman who harmed him. He almost died, but it was really just a little bit close.
He went into the back room and rummaged around. If he saw anything valuable, he packed it up and put it away. As for the most valuable property deed, the land deed was scattered all over the floor. He couldn't use it anyway. Every time he took out a piece of paper, he looked at it carefully. Finally,
I found a box hidden in the box at the bottom of the dressing table and pulled it out. There was no key.
Just as he was about to break the lock, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. The man panicked, guessing that the old woman had come back to report the news. He hurriedly held the box and his wrapped money, opened the back window and jumped out.
run.
Turning the corner, I saw a woman in front of the door: "Madam, the old slave is back."
He knew this woman, she was the one who coaxed him to go to Xuanpinghou Mansion, but now was not the time to come back with revenge, he had to do as the guards of Prince Qi Mansion said.
There was no response from the main room, so the mother-in-law raised her voice and spoke again.
There was still no sound, but the lights in the main room were on. The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and then said: "Madam, this old slave has come in, is it okay?"
There was still no sound inside.
The mother-in-law felt bad, so she hurriedly pushed the door open and let out a sharp cry. The man took advantage of this moment and ran out of the yard from the corner. There was a loud noise behind him, and it seemed that the whole yard was suddenly filled with people.
When I woke up, someone was screaming: "Something happened to the madam."
"Call someone quickly to save Madam."
"Save Mrs. Mrs. quickly." Voices came one after another, and the lights in the entire courtyard lit up. The maid and the mother-in-law rushed out of the bed one by one, and rushed into the main room. Others rushed out from the courtyard,
Go report it to the second master in the mansion...
As soon as the man came out of the yard, he was grabbed by the guard who appeared in the darkness and took him to the back door. There was already a commotion at the dowager's place, but the door to the backyard was still peaceful. The door was bolted, and the guard pulled the bolt.
After throwing two more things from the man's bag, he took the man and ran out.
There was a carriage outside the door, and the two people got on the carriage together. The carriage turned a corner, exited the alley, and disappeared into the night...
The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion was robbed. The thief not only stole many gold and silver belongings of Mrs. Yu, but also knocked Mrs. Yu unconscious to the ground. It is said that Mrs. Yu is still fainting in bed, and it is not certain whether she can wake up.
Yu Zhongyang went to the Yamen to report the case early the next morning. He said that many precious things had been lost and issued a receipt.
There was actually a thief in the dignified Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and the thief even let the thief touch Mrs. Yu's residence and injured Mrs. Yu. This would not be justified unless there was an internal thief.
The biggest possibility is that people in the house colluded with people outside the house to do such things so unknowingly. How can this thief be so capable? Whose courtyard wall is not high, the thief is
How did you get in? If you got in with a gangster, this gangster is not ordinary...
All the aristocratic families in the capital are in danger. If such a powerful thief patronizes their own home, will it be the same as in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion? Fortunately, there is only Mrs. Yu in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and there is no daughter who has not left the palace. If there is still a future,
The daughter who left the palace will be ruined for the rest of her life if this thief comes to her door.
This matter does not sound as big as the matter of Prince Zhengyuan Hou, but when I think about it carefully, it makes the inner courtyard of the Jingcheng family stand on end. This may be because the relationship is a major matter for the family, and it is a personal pain. Who dares not to care about it.
Jing Zhaoyin personally led people to investigate the case, and the first person he visited was Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu just woke up and was lying on the bed. Her whole body was weak, as if she would run out of breath in the next moment. When she saw her son leading Jing Zhaoyin over, her eyes immediately turned red: "Master Xiang, you... must do this for me."
I am in charge, I must find this thief and cut him to pieces."
"Madam, don't worry, can you tell me what happened first?" Mr. Xiang sat down on the chair and took out the document to prepare the record.
"I'm getting older and it's hard to fall asleep at night, so I talked to the old lady next to me. After talking for a while, I felt dizzy, and then... I fainted, and then woke up... It was the old lady who woke me up.
Mrs. Yu pointed at a woman standing in front of the bed, "Fortunately she found it, otherwise I... would have died."
The elderly people fainted and died on the ground, and no one paid attention to them, but they would lose their lives.
He nodded to the doctor in understanding and looked at the mother-in-law beside the bed.
The mother-in-law came forward and saluted.
"Did you find Mrs. Yu fainting on the ground?" Mr. Xiang asked after looking at the woman up and down.
"It was my slave who discovered that the madam had fainted. I wanted to report something to the madam. I asked a few questions before entering the door, but the madam didn't say anything. I opened the door in a panic and saw the madam falling to the ground. I yelled hurriedly, and many people
I got up and helped the wife go inside, and saw that the back room was completely messed up. There were a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the ground, as well as some land deeds, house deeds and other things, scattered all over the floor."
The mother-in-law said in panic.
"What was lost?" Master Xiang looked at the mother-in-law calmly and asked.
"All that was lost were the gold and silver jewelry in the hands of the Madam. I don't know how this thief is so capable. He can find everything that the Madam has hidden well. I beg you, please find this thief and never let him escape.
"The mother-in-law stamped her foot angrily.
He nodded to the adults and asked Yu Zhongyang, "Are there any other abnormalities found in the mansion? Are there any burglaries in other courtyards? Has anything been lost again?"
"Nothing was thrown anywhere else in the house, but the back door was open. When the woman guarding the back door got up in the morning, she found that the door bolt of the back door was thrown on the ground. The back door was wide open. The thief should have left through the back door, but why did he
Did you find the back door all at once?" Yu Zhongyang asked angrily.
When he went to the back door to look, there was no one there, so he found a gold earring and a gold hairpin at the back door. Everyone who served his mother recognized that these were her mother's things.
Mr. Xiang listened to Yu Zhongyang's words and nodded while listening. After Yu Zhongyang finished speaking, he said with a serious face: "The most important question now is where did this thief enter your house? It was also the inner courtyard. From
From the front door to the inner courtyard, it is so far away, and it has been detoured several times, so why did he find Mrs. Yu's courtyard?"
"So, all the servants in the mansion are suspicious, especially the wives and maids in the inner courtyard. If they are servants in the outer courtyard, they may not be so familiar with the inner courtyard." He nodded to the Lord, "I'll let people check first.
The servants in your house will sort out the suspicious people and interrogate them carefully based on their comings and goings yesterday."
"Thank you, sir." Yu Zhongyang expressed his gratitude with a raised hand.
"Let me confirm again. You can't come in through the back door, right?" I asked Master Xiang again and looked up at the high courtyard wall. This is not a place where you can enter if you want to.
"It can't be the back door, but..." Yu Zhongyang hesitated for a moment, obviously he still had something to say. This chapter has been completed!
