It doesn't sound like that!

Cao Ze cleared his throat and coughed twice.

I saw that the noise disappeared immediately, and these eight or nine guards all flashed aside in an orderly manner, consciously lining up.

Cao Ze saw clearly that there was a little girl paralyzed in front of Cao Mu, her face was pale, she was in tears, and she looked very miserable.

He recognized it carefully, and felt that it was quite familiar, it should be the little girl in the courtyard of the study.

Cao Ze has always considered himself to be very strict, more than a hundred times stronger than his younger brother's big arrogance.

As a result, this will actually be a person in his own yard, who was bought and made an internal response, he can't help but have a little fever on his face, isn't this a slap in the face?

Fortunately, the person who is an official has a thick skin, and he, who is a marquis, has to be two points thicker.

Cao Ze asked in a deep voice, like no one else, "Who was the guard on duty in the backyard just now, and who was the secret guard?" ”

As soon as Cao Mu heard the eldest brother ask, his majestic momentum disappeared immediately, the guards of the Hou Mansion, whether it was light or dark, he was in charge, and someone could sneak under the window, which meant that the people on duty at this hour had a problem.

"Back to the Hou Ye, today behind your study, there are two Ming Wei and one secret guard, Ming Wei is Cao Qing, Cao Zheng, and the secret guard is Ma Almanac." The person who replied was a small leader, the captain of the squad at this hour.

None of the three people he named were in front of him, and the expressions on everyone's faces were surprised.

You said a ghost, it's quite acceptable, and now there are four people at once, all of them are suspicious, the two masters, plus these guards, are all scared in their hearts.

No one spoke, and it was just noisy compared to the vegetable market, but it was silent, and it was estimated that if a needle fell on the ground, it could be heard immediately.

After the tea effort, he saw Cao Qing, who was supposed to be on duty, running over in a hurry, he saw the formation here from a distance, thinking that something big had happened.

This one's eyes were very bright, and he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Humble Cao Qing, today's difference with Cao Zheng was a good time, our brothers were supposed to be on an errand, but someone sent herbal tea half an hour ago." ”

"Herbal tea is originally available every day, but I don't know what's going on today, not long after drinking, our brothers began to have diarrhea, and they are less used in their lower duties, but they can be better, Cao Zheng made the braised pork made by his mother-in-law at noon, and he poured three cups of it, and he still didn't come out of the toilet at this time."

"Humble duty, humble accusation, humble accusation" Before the words were finished, this person's face turned pale, and he ran away with his butt covered.

The guards next to him, together with Cao Mu, heard that there was a reason, Cao Zheng and Cao Qing were afraid that they were on the road, and their hearts were relieved, and when they saw Cao Qing's wolf bèi again, they couldn't help laughing.

Cao Ze snorted lightly, his cold eyes swept over, and the group of people all stopped talking, Cao Mu also had a sneering face, turned his head and coughed a few times to cover up.

"Transfer the class of Youshi, and when Ma Almanac appears, let him come to my study, and if no one is seen after an hour, I will send someone to search for him." After speaking, Ming Anhou waved his hand and let the guards disperse.

shouted his little girl, dragged the little girl on the ground who was scared half to death, and the feces and urine flowed together, and then took it to the study.

"It's not big brother, I'm talking about you, look at these guards, one by two, loose, and don't you have any appearance? What kind of commander is it, what kind of team is brought out, you just make the laws and regulations in the forbidden army strict, but a veteran who retired for some reason invites one back to help you establish a military prestige. Returning to the study, Cao Ze immediately said mercilessly.

Cao Mugan laughed twice, and immediately closed his mouth in Ming'an Hou's sharp eyes, sat upright, his brain turned fast, suddenly, he slapped his thigh!

Xi said: "I thought of it, there is such a person, who is the boss of my younger brother who just joined the Left Forbidden Army. is the most strict military law, my younger brother was not lightly cleaned up by him back then! ”

"He was later injured in the line of duty, and his right arm had a problem, so he was idle at home, and some time ago I heard from my colleagues that he was not doing well, so why don't you invite him to come, that is, to help him solve the problem, but also for my brother and I to worry about it, big brother, do you say okay?"

Cao Ze saw that he agreed happily, and did not push four, five or six, knowing that he also knew his shortcomings, but his heart was too soft, and he couldn't wipe his face, so he invited a powerful person to sing white face, and he made a red face, which complemented each other.

"Then you can clear the next post, I'll read it."

Before Cao Ze could speak, he heard someone outside say loudly: "Humble horse almanac, come to see Hou Ye, third master." ”

"Xiaoli, come in, wait for you for a long time, if you don't come again, you kid will be unlucky!" Cao Ze roared with a grin.

The curtain was lifted, and a lean young man walked in, clasping his fists and meeting his master.

didn't wait for the masters to ask, and said consciously: "Cao Qing and Cao Zheng in the backyard just now went to the toilet one after another, and they were humble guards and had no fixed place to live, so they didn't drink tea, but after a while, they found that there were sentry agents in the backyard, and they were also a martial arts person, and they were very clever in light skills." ”

"As soon as this person was discovered, he went to the back house, the lowly job is the worst light work on weekdays, and he is not familiar with the back house, and he will be chased and lost after a while, and he will not give up on his humble position, and he has been in the back house for a long time, but he has not found it."

"I only know that the direction in which she disappeared last was Ziheyuan, and her figure is a woman, wearing the most common cyan vest for our maids, and her face is covered with thin sand."

"Master Hou, Third Master, if this person has bad intentions, then our family will be in danger, the back house is full of ladies, young ladies, one is not careful, something big will happen! You two should hurry up and think of a countermeasure. ”

At this time, Cao Ze found that the three guards, regardless of light and darkness, none of them were black-hearted, two were designed, and the other one found out that it was wrong, but it was missed.

It seems that although his younger brother is not in shape, and he is loose and casual with the guards, he has not lost the hearts of the people, at least, he still has his heart, and his heart is a little lighter.

But what Ma Almanac said is also the truth, there is a woman who knows martial arts in his back house, which is too unbelievable.

If this is investigated, it is by no means an ordinary effort, there are not many masters in the back house, and there are hundreds of maids waiting, but there are hundreds of mothers, how long will it take to verify them one by one? !

If the time comes, the real thief will have disappeared without a trace, but if you don't check, how can you rest assured?

"You did a good job, Ben Hou has just asked the brothers on duty behind you to change shifts, you go and invite the big housekeeper, and you can go home and rest."

"Cao Sen, you go to the tent to pay one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and give Cao Zheng, Cao Qing and almanac fifty taels each, the three of them have worked hard today."

Ma Almanac smiled and retired with satisfaction, this extra quick profit, the mother-in-law at home can also give a smile, right?

"What is the eldest brother going to do?" Cao Mu was not in a good mood because of this sudden incident, and asked in a muffled voice.

Cao Ze stroked the lid of the teacup with his hand and said indifferently: "Of course you have to investigate thoroughly, how many years have you been in peace?" These people will be impatient again, so you just have to invite someone surnamed Meng to come. ”

While talking, the little girl just now was put into the house, her clothes changed, her face was clean, but her whole body trembled, and it seemed that she was scared.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, at most eight or nine years old, it is estimated that she was being used for money, Cao Mu shook her head, turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Cao Ze secretly felt that his younger brother was too benevolent to women, and in the end he was too protective, which led to his current temperament.

"What's your name and how old are you?" Without the master to speak, Cao Bin, the chief next to Cao Ze, asked in a deep voice.

This girl can collect the money to do this, and her mind is also active, and she knows that she can't escape, so she just wants not to affect her family, so she has to answer all questions.

It's not a big deal, but I already know that this girl's name is Xiaoling, and she has a secret connection with a mother surnamed Gong in the back house, and she has been in contact for about half a year.

On weekdays, they will meet on about three or five days, and today Xiaoling saw Cao Mu coming over with an unkind face, thinking that there would be big news, so he mixed the croton powder given by his mother into the herbal tea.

As a result, the guards were separated, but unfortunately they were caught by Cao Mu.

"That mom is from that yard? What does it look like? What are the characteristics? Cao Mu was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask something important.

Xiaoling hurriedly replied: "The maid once followed her, and once, I heard someone greet her and call her Mother Luo, so she should be surnamed Luo." ”

"Also, she is white and fat, of medium stature, very bright in her clothes, and there is a red mole the size of a copper coin behind her ear.

Cao Bin waved his hand, and Xiaoling was taken out.

Cao Ze ordered in a deep voice: "Today's matter is not allowed to leak, first appease Xiaoling, let her continue to communicate with this Luo's mother, and tell her that if she does a good job, she will atone for her sins, and if she doesn't do it well, she will sell her whole family to Shandong Coal Kiln." ”

"Let people follow Mother Luo to see how many secrets she still has, and this back house will also be sorted out."

When the chief housekeeper Cao Ting interrogated Xiaoling, he had already arrived, and his son was the old Cao housekeeper, and he could be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

After listening to it for a long time, the whole thing was already clear to me, and I had already gone out, gathered all the people who knew about it, and gave a lecture and sealed my mouth to ensure that no one else would know about what had just happened.

When he heard the master's arrangement, he immediately went to the door of the study and instructed Cao Sen, who was kind-hearted, to meet the little girl, and implement the master's arrangement, even to explain what to say to Luo's mother. R1152
