Chapter 230: Suspicion of Theft
After drinking tea, Wei Zhong sent all the servants down before asking, "Zhu'er is here for the ice silkworm clothes?" ”
An Linzhu put down the fragrant peach blossom tea and responded happily: "En." Father-in-law, we will leave the city early tomorrow morning and go to Baiyun Mountain. ”
Wei Zhong observed her expression quietly, and did not notice anything abnormal, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes.
An Linzhu was stared at by Wei Zhong's eyes, and called carefully: "Father-in-law? ”
"Yes, I see." Wei Zhong restrained his emotions casually, and said hesitantly: "That ice silkworm coat ......"
Speaking of this, An Linzhu was a little excited, "Father-in-law, we have already agreed that the ice silkworm clothes will be lent to me for a month, and I will return you when I come back from the experience!" If I get any good treasure in the Immortal Mansion, I will definitely let you choose first. ”
Wei Zhong smiled with relief, and simply spread out his words, "Alas, it's not that my father-in-law broke his promise, but that the ice silkworm clothes have been stolen now, and I am also angry, and I am sending someone to investigate." ”
"What?" An Linzhu's face changed greatly, and she was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
Wei Zhong pointed outside, "You also saw that the guards in the mansion were in a hurry, all for this matter. ”
An Linzhu glared in disbelief, "How come?" How can it be? Who is so bold as to dare to go to the City Lord's Mansion to steal something, and die? Are the guards ...... "all for rice?"
Fortunately, she still kept her sanity in the last sentence and did not pronounce it.
"There are only a handful of people who know that the ice silkworm clothes are in my hands, except for you and your mother, I haven't told anyone else, not even my old manager. I ask you, have you ever told anyone about it? Wei Zhong asked solemnly.
"Nope!"
In fact, this ice silkworm robe was a treasure that Wei Zhong obtained when he and his friends explored a secret realm together. At that time, someone set up a mechanism in the place where the ice silkworm clothes were stored, and it was supposed to be Wei Zhongzhong's organ who went to get the ice silkworm clothes, but fortunately, his friend on the side, that is, An Linzhu's uncle, reacted quickly and blocked the hidden arrow with a sword for him. In addition to the dark arrow, there is also a poisonous insect trick.
An Linzhu's uncle was bitten by a giant poisonous spider, and the toxin quickly spread throughout the body, and finally died.
At last. The only people who knew the whereabouts of this ice silkworm robe were Wei Zhong and his friend's own sister. An Linzhu also accidentally learned about this from her mother not long ago.
Therefore, hearing Wei Zhong's serious inquiry, An Linzhu hurriedly denied it, "Such an important matter." How could I just tell someone? I'm also afraid that there will be bad people secretly beating the idea of ice silkworm clothes, and snatching it while I am training in the Immortal Mansion, how dare I talk nonsense? ”
Wei Zhong nodded. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Whoever gets such a treasure can't wait to cover it tightly, and fools will spread it around.
"Then your mother ......" Wei Zhong was still not at ease.
An Linzhu shook her head like a rattle, "Not even more!" My mother has always warned me not to reveal a word about the ice silkworm clothes, how could she knowingly commit a crime? ”
Wei Zhong was relieved, but the doubts in his heart were deeper.
An Linzhu is the only insider among the two mothers and daughters, and the two of them have never said it. Could it be that the news leaked from him? But he never showed this treasure to anyone, so how did the thief know about it? Not to mention, he even knew exactly where he hid the ice silkworm clothes?
However, many people know that he has a sandalwood machine bed, after all, he did not deliberately hide his identity when he bought this bed from the auction.
Don't...... The thief just wanted to sneak into his room and steal some valuable treasures, but he accidentally took the ice silkworm clothes?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face became darker and darker, which made An Linzhu, who was sitting on the side, very uneasy.
Oops, it's all because she's begging to borrow the ice silkworm clothes. The father-in-law took out the ice silkworm clothes from the warehouse and put them in the bedroom, but it was stolen by thieves, will the father-in-law blame her for this?
"Father-in-law...... About half an hour later, he saw that Wei Zhong only cared about his own thoughts. An Linzhu couldn't sit still.
Wei Zhong retracted his thoughts, looked at his righteous daughter, and saw that her face was pale and her expression was panicked, so he explained lightly: "Since this matter was not leaked from you and your mother, I can't blame you. You don't have to be afraid of accountability. ”
Hearing Wei Zhong's words so reasonable, An Linzhu was relieved, and replied gratefully: "Father Xie is relieved, so what should I do next?" ”
An Linzhu wanted to ask what she would do if she didn't have the Ice Silkworm Clothes, but Wei Zhonghui mistakenly thought that she was concerned about the whereabouts of the Ice Silkworm Clothes, so she sighed with relief: "I'm already sending someone to investigate." However, the news of the ice silkworm clothes cannot be disclosed to outsiders, and after you go back, you will pretend that nothing happened, if your mother asks, you will tell the truth, if you don't ask, don't mention anything, understand? ”
"Yes." An Linzhu nodded obediently and got up to say goodbye, "Then I'll go back first, and I have to prepare for the trip to Baiyun Mountain tomorrow." ”
"Go ahead."
Wei Zhong was already in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to keep it when he heard the words.
Night.
There was another uproar in the Baiyang City Lord's Mansion. Wei Zhong could hear the movement outside, and asked with a depressed expression: "What's going on?" ”
The servant stumbled back, "Slave, slave don't know. ”
"Jingle bell." In an instant, two sword guards came running quickly, panting and shouting, "My lord! Thieves were found in the storehouse and over there. ”
"Phew!"
Wei Zhong was so angry that he split the door with one palm, his face jumped out with a blue face, his eyes widened angrily, and he trembled with anger, "Say it again!" ”
The guards and servants were so frightened that they knelt down, and they trembled like chaff when they had seen the city lord so angry, and they did not dare to say anything more.
"Say!"
"Ah......h
Wei Zhong was so angry that he kicked one of the servants kneeling by the door away, and slammed it into the pillar, and immediately blood gushed out, and he died in a moment.
The guards were shocked, and one of them boldly replied loudly with a trill: "The subordinates have found that there are thieves on the other side of the storehouse, and the others have gone to pursue them!" ”
"Fuck! Is this a blatant bullying of me Baiyang City? Again and again, stealing my private collection and stealing the treasury! Hmph, I want to see who is so rampant! ”
Wei Zhong didn't even bother to close the door, and immediately angrily went to the direction of the warehouse with enough spiritual power to resist the wind.
It is an ironclad rule that no fighting is allowed in the city, and Wei Zhong, as the lord of a city, should abide by the rules of the city, but now he is angry and angry. The guards didn't dare to say more, for fear that the next unlucky person would be themselves.
When they arrived at the warehouse, the thieves naturally found no trace, but Wei Zhong, who was about to go crazy, refused to give up, transferred a large number of guards back, and searched the city lord's mansion inside and out, just eager to dig three feet into the ground.
When the leaves peeked out of the space again, they saw the door broken in half and collapsed by the door, and there was no one in the room.
She didn't think much about it, and immediately got out of the space and asked the black jade pendant to give her an invisibility talisman before she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she held her breath and didn't use her spiritual power, even if the Baiyang City Lord stood in front of her at this moment, she wouldn't be able to detect her traces.
Ye followed the path he had come from and slowly walked towards the entrance of the rockery. There were a few servants and guards along the way, but she carefully avoided them.
Before she arrived, she noticed a large number of guards with swords surrounding the rockery.
Oops! The entrance has been discovered, how is she going to escape?
Ye Zi didn't dare to approach the guards, for fear of being accidentally bumped into, so he turned to a corner to hide and think hard. (To be continued.) )
