Chapter 243: Strange

Qi Miao took Yuexia and Xia Shuang back to Mingyue Pavilion quickly.

The two mothers-in-law who had stayed behind to guard the door were taking the initiative to kneel in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for Qi Miao's fate.

They guarded the door, but let the thieves into the courtyard, they were derelict in their duties.

Although they were knocked unconscious.

Qi Miao asked Xia Shuang to let the two mothers-in-law get up first, and she herself went back to the house first.

When I entered the house, I was greeted by a mess all over the floor, with clothes and jewelry thrown all over the floor, tables and chairs staggered, and two ancient porcelain pieces smashed.

This is completely different from the caution of the last time.

Qi Miao's nose moved slightly, and there seemed to be a fragrance in the air, this fragrance must not belong to her, nor to the others in Mingyue Pavilion, but she seemed to have smelled it somewhere.

It's just that the fragrance is too faint, and she can't tell who it belongs to.

Qi Miao frowned slightly, and let Yuexia go out of the inner room first.

She closed the door, then walked over to the carved sandalwood bed and reached out and pressed it lightly on a carved peony flower.

There was a soft click, and the bedpost against the wall revealed a dark square hole, and no one would have thought that there would be a dark grid here.

She reached into the hole and fumbled for a moment, then pulled out a small, flat black box.

The box is not large, only two fingers wide of chopsticks, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and it is carved with moire, which at first glance seems to be still flowing.

When she saw the box, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her face also loosened, and when she opened the box, there was only a long strip of brown paper rolled inside, and the color was yellow. It should have been stored for a long time.

Qi Miao closed the box again, then put it back in the dark compartment, and pressed the peony flower again. The dark lattice closed silently, turning back into a round, smooth bedpost.

After doing all this, Qi Miao opened the door and called Yuexia and Xiashuang into the house, and asked them to take inventory to see if anything was missing.

A cold and gloomy look disappeared in the Blue Water Pavilion.

The corners of Qi Miao's lips lifted slightly.

It would take some effort to clean up and count here, so she went to ask the mother-in-law who was guarding the door about the situation at that time.

“…… The slave heard footsteps. Just as he was about to turn back, he was hit the head and fainted. When she woke up, the house had been turned into a mess, and the slave and maid hurried to Songheyuan to find the young lady......

It's the slave who has derelict her duty, please punish the young lady. The two mothers-in-law told what had happened. and kowtow to Qi Miao to plead guilty.

"Mother, please get up first. I will wait for my investigation to make a decision in advance, and you can go back to your room to see if you have lost anything, and report it to the police officer. Qi Miao said.

The two mothers-in-law went down with a thousand thanks.

Qi Miao handed over the affairs of Mingyue Pavilion to Xia Shuang to be in charge, and after the things were counted, she went to Haitang Garden to find her, and she took Qin Si to Haitang Garden.

The two were silent along the way.

There was also a commotion in the Begonia Garden, and the maids and ladies were cleaning up, and the situation was even worse than that of Mingyue Pavilion.

Shen and Yun's mother were talking in the inner room, and Qi Miao took Qin Si directly in.

"Miao'er. What's going on there for you? As soon as he saw Qi Miao, Shen asked with concern.

Qi Miao pointed to the dress that was still thrown on the ground. sighed, "It's the same as you here." ”

Mother Yun scolded angrily, "These thieves who kill a thousand knives are really hateful, you just say that you ask for money, how can you turn out your clothes, will you hide the silver in your clothes?" ”

"Mother Yun, don't be angry, a thief is a thief, where is there still humanity at all, otherwise you wouldn't come out to be a thief." Qi Miao smiled and persuaded him.

Mother Yun shook her head, "Let Miss see it smile, I just can't help but be angry." ”

Shen also smiled and persuaded a few words, then his face was solemn, and he said to Yun's mother, "Mom, please guard the door, and I will say a few words to Miao'er and Qin Si." ”

"Don't worry, I have already let Baosheng and a few people visit it, those people have already left, and the slave and maid went to guard the door." Mother Yun lowered her voice and replied seriously.

Shen shook his head slightly, then looked at Qin Si.

Qin Si nodded and said, "Third lady, Miao'er, the mothers-in-law guarding the door didn't lie, they were indeed knocked unconscious from behind, and they didn't know who attacked them.

Mingyue Pavilion and Begonia Garden each went to two people, and the eldest lady and the second lady each went there, they were masked, and I didn't see their looks clearly, but most of them were not weak.

When those people came into the house, it was very strange, it didn't look like they were here to steal things, but like they were just here to destroy, and they threw and smashed things when they saw them. There is another thing that is even more strange, one of the two people who went to Mingyue Pavilion looked like a woman, this person walked vainly, and he should not be a person who practiced martial arts.

It stands to reason that they are here to steal, not to play, they should be more likely to choose their skills, why would they let an ordinary person come, in case they are found out, it is difficult to escape. ”

Qin Si roughly explained what had happened.

Today, there was a banquet in the mansion, and Qi Miao learned that the battle was too big, so he deliberately asked Qin Si to stay and hide in the dark to observe, beware of someone taking the opportunity to attack.

I didn't expect her to guess it, and those people really did it.

They are really good at choosing the time, and every time they come back, it is when there is no one in the house, which shows that they know the dynamics of the Hou Mansion well.

Something is becoming clearer and clearer.

Qi Miao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "No wonder I smelled a faint fragrance as soon as I entered the room, it turned out to be the smell of a woman." ”

An hour later, Xia Shuang came to reply to Qi Miao, and after counting, he lost a pair of bracelets inlaid with gold and jade, about twenty taels of broken silver, and a few antiques were smashed.

The bracelet is not worth much silver, and the antique is worth some silver, but it is nothing to Qi Miao's net worth, because only one is real, and the others are imitations.

Since the last time something in the sixth room was moved, she has a lot of thoughts, and she has already put valuable things in a safe and hidden place, and all the things that are placed in the room are just relatively ordinary things.

Of course, these things that were ordinary to her were treasures to others.

Not only is the decoration of the Mingyue Pavilion like this, but the Shen family has also hidden some extremely valuable objects in the Begonia Garden, otherwise the losses in the two places this time are really not small.

Qi Miao accompanied her mother to Ma's place again and reported the losses in the two places.

When they arrived at Songhe Courtyard, Liu, Yang, Wu and others were also there, and they were reporting to Ma about the situation in each house and courtyard.

The loss of the Liu family's three rooms was very small, only some jewelry and broken silver, which added up to only one hundred taels.

The Shen family reported that the loss of Mingyue Pavilion and Haitang Garden was 8,000 taels, because the antiques were priceless, 8,000 taels was not high.

And only the greater the loss, the more attention the government will pay attention to.

As soon as the amount was out, the Ma family and the Liu family all gasped, and they all sighed, thinking that those thieves were really hateful, and they actually destroyed such valuable antiques.

At the same time, they were a little schadenfreude, thinking that if the Shen family sold the antiques, the silver they got would be distributed to them, ensuring that they would be grateful to Dade, where they would be worthless after being destroyed like now.

The loss is not small, Ma chose to report to the official, Qi Changxin also agreed, there were thieves in the house, and he was also afraid.

The three brothers Qi Zhengning went to the government office overnight.

Because the amount was not small, Fu Yin did not dare to be ambiguous, so he sent a catcher to the Hou Mansion overnight to investigate the situation.

Some of them went to the house to investigate around, and some of them asked Ma and Qi Miao about the situation at the time of the incident.

"Have you noticed anything suspicious in or around your Hou Mansion recently?" Catch up and ask.

When Ma Shi and Qi Changxin were about to shake their heads, Qi Miao suddenly said, "Yes!" (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm sorry, I'm late, today's update is late, and it hasn't reached the amount of three more, so I won't say what the reason is......

Thank you Hideko and the princess's mother for the reward, thank you for the monthly ticket support of Piggy, love everyone!
