202. The theft of jade ornaments from the Four Grand Princes' Mansions
Mo Huawen came back when Mo Xuetong was tidying up his study after dinner.
When I entered the door, I saw the light in my study, the gentle smiling face of the woman in white under the lamp, a trace of crystal flashed in her eyes, once upon a time, I was so happy, there was such a woman wholeheartedly for herself, but there were too many external factors, which made them drift apart, and finally separated by yin and yang.
"Father, have you eaten, the kitchen has prepared some hot dishes, and I am waiting for my father to come back. Mo Xuetong put down the book in her hand and greeted her affectionately.
Looking at her daughter's gentle smiling face, her heart was full of softness, she reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "I have used it outside, but I don't need to prepare it at this time." ”
"Father, be careful, don't mess up Hitomi's hair, which makes Hitomi go out to meet people. Mo Xuetong covered his head that was touched by him, and pouted coquettishly.
Looking at her daughter's delicate face, the affection in the childishness of the youngest daughter is completely different from the alienation when she first met, Mo Huawen couldn't help but feel good, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, and laughed and teased: "How can I see Hitomi, my pupil is the most beautiful, no one can compare." ”
"Father, Hitomi's hair is all messed up by you!" Mo Xue Hitomi complained.
Mo Huawen didn't care, and took her hand and walked into the study together: "What's the matter, it's all night, and you don't need to see anyone, just mess up." ”
"Father!" Mo Xue stomped her foot angrily.
It was rare to see his usually cold daughter like this, and Mo Huawen laughed.
"Who made Hitomi's hair so soft that it felt like brocade. Mo Huawen quibbled, talking and laughing with his daughter like this, he only felt that his nerves had been tense for a day and relaxed a little, and his mood was much better.
sat down at the desk, took out the case file he brought, opened it and sighed.
"Father, isn't it just for this case file today, so you are busy all day, and you even go home so late?" Mo Xuetong intimately made a cup of Longjing before the rain for him, poked his head and asked curiously.
"A while ago, there was a thief in the house of Mingguofu, not only things were stolen, but even a young lady in the house is said to be missing; a married aunt and grandmother in Dingguo Mansion went back to her mother's house, and said that she was robbed halfway through, if it wasn't for the king of Yan to go fast, he was almost robbed, a few days ago when your grandfather's house held a banquet, a little girl was killed, and yesterday there was an accident in the Pingguo family, and even their ancestral hall was stolen, and the tablets were thrown around, and a family tree did not know where to throw it. ”
Mo Huawen sighed and told the whole story of the matter.
He really has a headache, these things seem to be unrelated, but he always feels that there is a certain connection, especially these things are also related to the Fuguo Mansion, how can he not be vigilant, although he doesn't know much about the things back then, he knows that his wife has always been very nervous, and as long as he heard about the emperor's order in Yuncheng before, his wife's eyes always showed fear.
That's why she's not in good health! Those speculations, because she hasn't said it, he doesn't ask, but she has doubts in her heart!
Thinking of this, he remembered that strange thing again!
That day, Luo Bin also wrote to talk about his wife's past, and specially asked his wife about his previous hand ornaments, saying that the old lady missed her daughter, and wanted to pick a few pieces of jewelry that Luo Xia had been using back then, and kept the parasite to think about people, because the old lady was old, Luo Bin said that it was best to choose some jade, jade bracelets, jade pendants and the like, so that the old lady could have a thought and also strengthen his body.
Although Mo Huawen was puzzled, he still complied, and later sent some jade bracelets that Luo Xia used before her death, and the jade pendant passed, and then Luo Bin didn't say anything more.
No matter how you think about it, I don't think it's normal, and then I contact the things that happened in these big dukes' mansions, and I always feel that some things are secretly connected.
With the power of the four major dukes, who will easily shake it and show no traces, his newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin is investigating, and the power of the four families is also investigating, why have so many days passed, there are no clues at all, if there is really a force that can do so without traces.
Only Royal!
The King of Chu, the King of Yan, or the merry and evil King Xuan, or simply ......
That thought made him at a loss for a while, and he didn't even know whether he should investigate seriously, or pretend to be very diligent, just to get by on his face.
"Hitomi, did your mother leave you anything special before, such as jade bracelets, jade pendants, and the like?" Mo Huawen asked after pondering for a moment.
"My mother left some jade hand ornaments for Hitomi, just in the dark compartment of my father's study, when Hitomi came to Beijing, I didn't know what would happen...... So I didn't take it, and it's still there. Mo Xue blinked her eyes and smiled.
Except for a jade bracelet she had removed, she hadn't touched anything else.
Hitomi came to Beijing, but she didn't take away the hand ornament left by her mother, because she was afraid that she would not accept her, and finally sent her back to Cloud City, so she left a way out for herself!
Mo Huawen was full of pity, and said guiltily: "Tong'er, my father will never send you away in the future, if you go back to Cloud City, it will be our father and daughter who will go back together." ”
"Hitomi don't leave her father either. Mo Xue Tong smiled coquettishly, pouted, and said coquettishly, "Father is not allowed to throw Hitomi aside again, otherwise Hitomi will ignore his father in the future." ”
"Not anymore, not anymore. The young daughter's coquettish words, inexplicably made his heart hurt, he clearly knew in his heart, even if his daughter is now guilty, the abandonment during that time must have hurt her deeply, now I think about whether I took the wrong medicine at the time, and I lost my mother's love so ruthlessly.
"Father asked what my mother's jade ornament does, isn't it related to this case?"
Mo Huawen collected his mood a little, opened the case file in front of him and pointed to the place where a special note was marked on it: "The young lady of the Ming State Mansion, it is said that when she went out, she packed a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, among which jade ornaments are the most, this young lady is a concubine, but she is very much the heart of a widowed aunt of the You family, it is said that the childless one gave almost all his dowry to this young lady. ”
"The aunt of the Dingguo Mansion is the most beloved daughter of the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion in the past, when she got married, she made red makeup, and it is said that the corners of the light table are decorated with a lot of jade, and the little girl of your grandfather's house, although her identity is not obvious, is to dress your grandmother, it is said that many jade artifacts were stolen around your grandmother that day. ”
"There is also the Pingguo Mansion, because of the New Year, there are some gold and silver hand ornaments in front of the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, mainly jade, all of which have been swept away, and it seems that someone is looking for something, and these things should be ornaments. Mo Huawen said with a frown.
In addition, Luo Bin asked him for Luo Xia's past jade bracelets, jade pendants and other jade products, Mo Huawen was even eighty percent sure that this thing was made of jade, but what kind of thing was related to the Four Grand Dukes' Mansion, and it was an important jade product, Mo Huawen really couldn't think of it for a while.
Touching my head, I only felt a dull pain in my head that I had been thinking about for a day.
"The affairs of the four major dukes seem to be connected, otherwise why did they suddenly erupt, if it is really as my father guessed, there should be an item flowing into the four major dukes' mansions, but I don't know which one it is, so the four major dukes will have accidents one after another. Father may also think about why the four major dukes, which rarely hold banquets, take turns to hold banquets during the Spring Festival, whether it is deliberately designed by someone or a coincidence. Mo Xuetong thought for a moment.
Mo Huawen couldn't imagine that his somewhat childish daughter could say such a thing, and he felt more and more that this daughter was smart and clever.
"Father, think about it again, is it really a coincidence that these things suddenly come together? Or is it someone who deliberately did something, what can actually lead the Four Great Gong Yun families, and I heard my father say that this thing does not seem to have happened in recent years, so who is tracking down what! Or who is most beneficial to that thing is who is most likely to do it. Mo Xuetong said again.
Mo Huawen's eyes were full of brilliance when he said this, and he had always had some doubts in his heart that he couldn't catch the rules, and when his daughter analyzed it so clearly, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and some things suddenly became clear, and the abnormality of the four major dukes themselves also showed that there were some things, or they also had some numbers, but these words could not be said to others.
Therefore, the prince of Mingguo will personally chase the enemy, not only for the young lady who has lost her reputation; therefore, Dingguo Gong denied it, only saying that it was no big deal; the Fuguo Mansion also adopted the same attitude, only saying that the little girl was interested in getting rich, and was killed by her accomplices after stealing; Pingguo Mansion even thought that it was unlucky, and specially asked someone to say that there was no need to bother to find it, and the little thief was caught by themselves in their house.
His daughter is really a genius, even if she has such insight in the deep boudoir, she really deserves to be the daughter of herself and Luo Xia...... If Luo Xia was still here, she would be happy to see such a daughter......
His nose suddenly soured, and he turned his head sharply to the side of his face, hiding the fragility of that moment!
"Father, what is the emperor's attitude towards this case?" Mo Xuetong and Mo Huawen thought of going together, there was such a thing, what is the attitude of the current emperor Emperor Zongwen, I heard that Jing Zhaoyin was replaced because of the case of the Ming State Mansion before, didn't he also give a time limit to his father, if this is the case, what he thinks is a little wrong.
"The emperor doesn't have any will, just let me check carefully, and I must not wronged the four major dukes. Mo Huawen leaned back in the chair, this is also what he didn't understand, since the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, and pulled down the former Jing Zhaoyin, why did he say such a sentence without pain after he came up.
It shouldn't be, Emperor Zongwen's attitude seems to be tougher, and Mo Xuetong is also deeply puzzled.
Ming Guogong only had a case, Emperor Zongwen withdrew because of Jing Zhaoyin's unfavorable affairs, and after his father went up, the other three mansions had accidents one after another, but Emperor Zongwen didn't blame his father, could it be that Emperor Zongwen hoped that Jingzhaoyin would be replaced, or that Emperor Zongwen was just doing superficial things and was happy to see it?
Thinking that on the day of the incident, Feng Jueran was also present, and what those people said, Mo Xuetong faintly felt that she seemed to have discovered something......
