Chapter 378

Xie Bai and Yueniang no longer paid attention to the person who was fainted by the pain, and Shiwu went to see the soldier, but the man's eyes came out, and he was obviously dead.

Yueniang stood still, sad, "Maybe he wanted to tell us something in the afternoon." Why did that woman do this. ”

Xie Bai's eyes looked around, this was a bedroom for the master, but it had not been thoroughly cleaned because it had not been inhabited for many years.

Many of Sicai's furniture are covered in a thin layer of dust. Xie Bai found that the surroundings were very neat, not like he had been turned over, but the man was hanging on the side of the bed with half of his body, obviously suffering a great sin before he died.

Xie Bai stretched out his hand and turned Yueniang around, "Don't look at it, see if there is anything in the house, maybe the other party is here for something." ”

The two of them cleaned up the surroundings briefly, but found no useful information.

"Is that wrong? If this woman wasn't looking for something, maybe she was there to show us? Why send us the wrong message?"

"We must be on the right track. That's it, something must have happened that day that no one knows about. Yueniang patted her thigh, "Xie Bai, I think the truth is closer to us again." ”

Xie Bai didn't know if she wanted to cheer her up or really wanted that, and it was obviously impossible to say that she was closer to the truth at the moment.

These people came to the house of an ordinary soldier, and there must have been a reason. Xie Bai couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't gain anything more, so he came out of that room, and the person who had been knocked out outside was gone.

That woman was cut off by Xie Bai and fainted in pain because of excessive blood loss, and now it is only a moment of effort, how could she be gone.

Xie Bai and Yueniang looked at each other, and at the same time their bodies and minds were cold.

She couldn't have gone on her own, which meant that someone else had taken her.

They didn't notice anyone outside the house at all, how could they take someone else away in such a short time, was it a coincidence or that the person had been hiding in the shadows from the beginning.

The two of them were thinking about this when there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, accompanied by some low screams.

"That direction...... It's an official post, it seems that something has happened. Xie Bai let out a low voice, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Outside the official post of the Mobei Mission, the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by forbidden troops. The surroundings were crowded with people watching the excitement, and the market had just not closed at this time, so even the small vendors in the neighborhood came to see the excitement.

The people who live at the feet of the Son of Heaven have a very high consciousness than outsiders, and they know that things are not small when they see the forbidden army.

These high-nosed and big-eyed aliens only came to the capital today, and they live in an official post directly managed by the government, how could something happen?

Xie Bai and Yueniang resisted to the front of the crowd and saw several people standing outside the official post, including the interpreter of the Mobei mission and some envoys who were proficient in Chinese. Naturally, there are also people from the Ministry of Rites.

People on both sides didn't know what they were arguing about, and the voices were loud. From Xie Bai and Yueniang's point of view, the person in charge of the Ministry of Rites was not very happy.

The people around who were watching the excitement soon passed on the words of the two, "I heard that all the wedding gifts given to Princess Muge by the Mobei Mission have been stolen. ”

"It's the big boxes we saw during the day that the strangers were pressing? My goodness, so many boxes bigger than people are piled up here, how can they be stolen?"

"Who knows, it's just too lawless to be stolen from people at night. But I said that those thieves were bold enough to steal things in the official post. Do you see the boxes that have been opened, they are all empty. The instructions all let the thief move away. Oh my God, that's going to be a lot of money. ”

From why you want to steal something, all at once to how much the stolen things are worth.

More and more people around have joined the discussion, and it is obvious that everyone is more concerned about the amount of the dowry that Mobei gave to the princess of the dynasty than why they want to steal such an important thing.

Yueniang and Xie Bai came late, and their location was on the side, so they couldn't hear what Lin was saying at all.

The two of them stood in the crowd for a while, and the two people at the door were all blushing and thick-necked, obviously preparing to do it.

The forbidden army sealed the inn, and no one dared to cross over to hear what they had to say. But judging from the fact that the people from the Mobei Mission kept pointing to those boxes, they were only afraid that they were arguing over the stolen dowry.

The two of them hid in the crowd and watched for a while, and found that there was nothing more to gain than to know things, so they squeezed out of the crowd.

The faces of the two people were very solemn, "This happened too suddenly, and the courage of those thieves is really not small." There have been so many things in the capital recently, isn't this a crime against the wind? And this is the dowry of the princess of the dynasty, and they will die a miserable death. ”

Xie Bai buried her head, and walked out of the distance and didn't respond to Yueniang, she knew that he was thinking about things, so she also fell silent......

Goo –

Walking to a restaurant, Yueniang's stomach screamed very appropriately.

Xie Bai came back to his senses, looked at her twice, and was very apologetic, "I'm sorry, it's easy to get distracted when I think about things." You've been busy with me all day, and you haven't eaten much. I'll treat you to dinner this time. ”

Someone has a treat, and Yueniang is very happy. Both of them were very hungry, and there happened to be a restaurant next to them, so they walked in under Xiao Er's happy eyes.

After the meal, there were not many guests in the restaurant, and there were empty plates in front of them. The shopkeeper cleverly led the two up to the second floor and found them a private seat by the window.

After asking for a few specialty dishes, Yueniang stared at Xie Bai with a bent face, very worried, "These missions from Mobei want to take the pastoral song away now." But now that the dowry they sent has been stolen, will this matter affect the wedding?"

Originally, Yueniang didn't want Muge to marry in a place like Mobei, but now that something really happened, she began to worry again, "You said that these things happened in such a short time, could it be just a coincidence...... Or rather, everything is related. ”

Xie Bai hesitated for a moment and sighed honestly, "I don't know either." Yueniang, I think this time, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster. ”

Millions of grain and grass must not have been robbed by mountain bandits.

The imperial court sent so much grain and grass to Jiangnan for disaster relief, but it was robbed in the middle of the road. What is the purpose of the other party robbing so much grain and grass, even an army of 100,000 people can eat that grain and grass for several years.

He didn't want to think too deeply about this matter, but he couldn't think about it so deeply.

If this incident was premeditated, then Pei Shengjie and Pei Yi, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in the Jiangnan River, were killed by their own people.

Did the slain soldier really know anything? was the woman pretending to be his wife trying to stop him from telling more secrets or was it to find something?

The disaster in Jiangnan is known today, and Mobei must also know that the empire is in constant trouble and crisis, and they sent people to the capital to give dowry gifts at this time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Who did the dowry that mysteriously disappeared? and those who secretly robbed the grain and grass were not the same people?

So many questions, all tangled together like a silk net.

There is also Fu Ruiyuan's old friend who will solve the case, he and Fu Mingxuan lost the news together, does it mean that someone has already targeted them. Those in the shadows don't want them to find out the truth, so they kill people.

Xie Bai vaguely felt that there must be a shocking conspiracy brewing in the dark.

The meal came up quickly, and Yueniang stopped discussing this matter with him.

Two hungry men swept away the wind and quickly swept away a table of dishes.

After returning home after a busy day, Yueniang went to Mrs. Lin and Fu Ruiyuan to say hello to each other, and also inquired about Fu Mingxuan's news by the way. Mrs. Lin was very worried, but in turn comforted Yueniang not to be too anxious, now there are people in the Fu Mansion looking for Fu Mingxuan outside every day, and at the same time, they have also sent a notice out, but anyone who can find the eldest young master of the Fu family or provide him with news will be rewarded with silver.

She didn't want Yueniang to have any mistakes after Fu Mingxuan's accident, Fu Ruiyuan reacted normally, but she was worried about the sequelae of her injuries.

Yueniang couldn't sleep at night, so she ran to the yard to watch the sky.

In the middle of the night, it was still very cold. In the past, she would also have times when she couldn't sleep, Fu Mingxuan and Fu Jingshu were there, at that time she could go to Fu Jingshu or coddle with Fu Mingxuan, but now that neither of them was there, Yueniang felt lonely......

The next day, the news of the Mobei mission's encounter with thieves in the capital spread.

According to official data, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the dowry sent by Mobei this time, and the price is at least more than 200,000 gold.

Moreover, there are some treasures that are worth even taking away, and they cannot be measured horizontally with gold and silver at all.

These things had just been sent to the capital, and they were temporarily placed in the official post because the mission was going to enter the official face first, and they were originally intended to be sent to the palace the next day, but they were stolen that night.

Or move a dozen or so chests containing treasures completely, it can't be described as arrogant.

Those people did not get off the road to Beijing, but only started after arriving in the capital, which was clearly declaring war on the imperial court. The emperor felt that his face was being patted and patted, and he couldn't bear it.

Fu Ruiyuan asked him to send him to check the draft grain, Zhao Mingqi was grounded, and the prince had to be idle...... The emperor felt that if he really asked the crown prince to investigate this case, he was afraid that only a small half of the gold and silver recovered would be able to enter the treasury.

There were a lot of people who opened their mouths to eat, but none of them made him feel at ease. The emperor knew very well, or it was rare to know, that this case was very sensitive.

One is that this involves the marriage of two countries, and the other is that it is also related to the face of the empire.

If they can't find out the truth, it will only give Mobei the impression that there is no one in the empire, maybe they will think that now the disaster in the south of the Central Plains is serious, and the northerners are stupid, it is the best time to start a war.

So this case is not sloppy at all, usually it is not a big deal for the emperor to clean up a few old guys, but they can't do it.

If you go to the people to find some strange people...... Not reimbursable.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and when he saw that the whole dynasty was full of people who attached to him because they felt useless, his blood surged up again for a while.

He felt that he must be too good to these old guys, otherwise how could they not be like this, obviously it was his responsibility to ask him to find someone temporarily.

The emperor finally agreed with everyone to issue the imperial list.

The meat of the Huangbang is probably the theft of the property of the Mobei Mission, and those who can solve the case will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and sealed officials.

This condition is very attractive, so there are many people gathered in front of the emperor's list.

Yueniang was naturally crowded in the crowd, at first she just wanted to see a lively scene, but then for some reason, the crowd suddenly made a fuss, and those people pushed me and squeezed someone knocked the emperor to the ground.

The emperor's list was the emperor's order, and the two soldiers who watched the list panicked all of a sudden.

You must know that once the emperor list falls off the wall, it means that someone will be exposed, but now these people are messed up like this, and everyone knows that it was just an accident.

Accidents are a fact, but officials don't listen to this kind of explanation.

So, in order to protect themselves, the two of them yelled a few times to shock the people who were in a hurry, and then looked at those people very viciously, and finally locked their eyes on a few very suspicious people in the crowd, "Someone just revealed the emperor's list, so now that person can investigate the case." You all look at each other, who is in or around the emperor's list, and that person is the person who unveiled the emperor's list. ”

Yueniang...... Unfortunately, he became the unlucky guy who unveiled the emperor's list.

When the two soldiers brought her to Shuntian Mansion, the face of the Fu Yin was about to burst into laughter, "I didn't expect that Miss Fu was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows, haha, your father issued a military order in front of the emperor to track down the real murderer within fifteen days." Now that the eldest lady has unveiled the emperor's list again, it seems that the Fu Mansion is all iron-blooded and upright people, so please entrust Miss Fu with the case of the Mobei Mission. ”

"......" Yueniang stepped on the emperor list in front of everyone, can she refuse, of course not.

No matter how nice this old guy's words are, he just knows that he has finally found a substitute for the dead. The unlucky one is Yueniang, and now that she has revealed the emperor's list, it undoubtedly fell on her head.

She can't refuse, and she can't mess it up, otherwise not only she is afraid that the Fu family may be buried in her hands.

Yueniang nodded, feeling that now that she is also under the emperor's order, then she should also be a little official, "My lord, since I am also investigating the case for the royal family, I should be assigned two subordinates anyway." Be clever and have good martial arts. ”

The man was very happy, and in the blink of an eye, he transferred the head catcher and another catcher in the Shuntian Mansion to her, "You two followed Miss Fu in the end, and you don't have to come back until the case is solved." ”

Yueniang didn't know if what the old guy said was true, anyway, she just wanted to play a prestige.

So, Yueniang inexplicably became the person who did things for the emperor, and there were two more subordinates.

To be a head catcher in the capital, it must be a person with two brushes. The two of them will definitely not serve such a little girl as Yueniang, so she is not in a hurry, it is better to tell them first.

After leaving Shuntianfu, Yueniang found a tea stall and two people to explain everything, "I know that you are all smart people and capable, it is impossible to convince me, the young lady, and it is just an accident that I unveil the emperor list." I'm telling you now, if this case can be found, it won't be a problem for the two of you to make it to the top or to return to your hometown. The emperor's promise is that once the case is solved, there will be a reward of ten thousand gold, which is enough for you to spend several lifetimes. “

The catcher had already swallowed his saliva when Yueniang said Wanjin, but the rather older catcher was very calm, "Miss Fu doesn't have to be like this, this is our duty." ”

He said so, but his expression was as cold as a piece of ice.

Yueniang took a sip of tea, she was originally going to Xie Mansion, but she came out temporarily. She was also very helpless about this matter, "You are an experienced person, and you know very well that you should pay attention to one heart when investigating the case, otherwise it is not worth it to put yourself in danger if the case cannot be solved at that time." I've made it clear that if the headcatcher is still not happy, I will not force it."

She is a very stubborn girl, and she never does things just on the breath of the moment, "Although it is an oolong to unveil the emperor's list, but now that this matter has fallen on my head, I must pursue it." I've made it clear, if you two are willing to follow and find out about this matter, then you have to listen to me for everything. If you two don't want to leave now, I don't want you to get me in trouble halfway through. ”

There was a light in Yueniang's eyes, which was something that the head catcher had rarely seen in half his life. But he knew that that kind of light would not exist at all.

He was surprised that this little girl who didn't look old was so determined, how could a girl have such bright and clean eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back, "Miss Fu, do you know what you're talking about?"

The emperor can make a list among the people, it must be because no one in the court can handle this case, such a case seems to be just a gold and silver robbery case, but it involves peace between the two countries, and at the same time there is a princess's marriage and the face of the heavenly family.

Even if the truth is really traced, a wrong word will be shattered.

He has seen how many gate lords and magnates have fallen in this capital, and how many people have risen like stars, but in the end he doesn't know where to fall.

Everyone wants to be famous in life, but because of this, we should be more cautious, you know, a little mistake in this kind of thing is the end of your life.

Yueniang looked at this man who was two rounds younger than herself talking to her seriously, and laughed, "I know, as soon as the emperor list is revealed, if you can't find out the truth, it will be the crime of bullying the king." So, I'm going to have to find out, isn't it? When people live, they will encounter countless crises. Wanted...... Don't you have to earn your life? ”

She looked at the two people in front of her, "For me, this is my family and my own life. For you, it's a gamble with your life. Dare or not, the two of them choose for themselves. ”

It is said that the ignorant are fearless, and Yueniang is probably that person.

Because of ignorance, there is nothing to worry about.

She thinks everything is so simple, but why not a way to break the game.

The head catcher glanced at the people around him, his eyes were obviously glowing, and sighed, "Okay, I promise you." ”

On the side, he was just waiting for the boss to nod his head, and the catcher immediately agreed, "That's right, yes, I also listen to Miss Fu." You let me go east, and I will never go west. ”

Although it was only temporary, Yueniang was still glad that she had two more subordinates.

She believed that the two men could be relied on. Anyway, everyone has their own needs, and she is not afraid that they will make trouble on the impromptu basis.

Yueniang unveiled the emperor's list, and the matter spread quickly. Fu Ruiyuan couldn't find her in the mansion, so he sent someone out to look for her. Xie Bai also came out to look for her, and even the crown prince Zhao Mingchen and Zhao Mingqi asked people to come to her.

Yueniang felt that she had become a sweetheart, and of course, she also knew that she must have made these people feel that they had caused a big disaster.

The investigation of the case is time-sensitive, so she can't go back to explain to her father for the time being.

When Yueniang saw Xie Bai, he didn't react very much, but looked at her very incomprehensibly. This made Yueniang a little unable to understand the meaning of Xie Bai's eyes.

Catcher and Catcher found a reason to leave and left the two at the tea stall, and they went to the official post first to check the situation.

Xie Bai walked over and sat down, first looked at Yueniang, and saw that she was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "How to run to unveil the emperor list, do you know that once you take the emperor list, you must do it." Otherwise, it is the crime of deceit. ”

Yueniang pushed the teacup in front of Xie Bai, revealing two tiger teeth and smiling at him, "I know you won't believe what I said, but the situation was very chaotic at the time." Originally, I just wanted to follow you to check the matter of grain and grass, who knew that the emperor would suddenly post the emperor's list, and what was even more outrageous was that a bunch of people pushed around at that time and touched the yellow paper, and then stepped on the soles of my feet. ”

Xie Bai: "......"

It's quite rare to be unlucky enough to be like this.

Yueniang laughed twice, to be honest, she didn't believe it herself, how could she expect others to believe it.

"It's true. By mistake, I was smarter when a bunch of people looked on the street at that time, so I couldn't fool those ordinary people. Maybe...... Maybe it's providence. ”

"Yueniang, have you thought about it?" Xie Bai met the two Shuntianfu head catchers and catchers he knew, and these two people followed Yueniang to help her track down the case.

Xie Bai understands Yueniang, her temper is more twisted than many people, if she really decides on something, no one can stop her. Presumably, she also knew that this case was extremely involved, and she was worried that the emperor would target their family again.

"Hmm. It's decided, I'm going to catch those guys. Although I don't like the bunch of rough people in Mobei, but one yard is one yard, I am still very kind. People come all the way to our Central Plains to marry a daughter-in-law, and they can't let people see the jokes. ”

Xie Bai finally smiled, "Okay, since that's the case, then come on." I'm sure you're so smart you'll be able to find that thief. However, the other party is coming for so much treasure, you still need to be careful. At all times, put your own safety first. Understandable. ”

He smiled warmly, Yueniang's heart was slightly warm, and the roots of her ears were a little red, she twisted her brain to the side embarrassedly, and asked him very uncomfortably, "Then how are you going to check next?"
