Chapter 11: Theft
According to Zhu Yuanwai's meaning, he lost a piece of raw jade of great value, and this was not the first time that this thief had visited his mansion. Zhu Yuanwai even took a few treasures and was stolen by the thief, which made a fuss on the emperor's list.
Wuguo was relieved, but he also admired the thief's perseverance.
After the eldest uncle said that he knew, he left the Yuanwai Mansion with Wuguo.
Wuguo's small mouth rubbed to the eldest uncle's side, and he smiled: "Do you say it's his enemy?" ”
Immediately, Wuguo shook his head again, if he is really an enemy, he has been in and out of the mansion so many times, he can directly kill people or teach them a lesson, why bother running inside so many times.
Lord Fu Yin, who came with him because of the five fruits, hurriedly wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Two highnesses, I think it's just an ordinary petty theft, so you don't have to be so careful. ”
The eldest uncle retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Yin, obviously without any expression, but he looked at Fu Yin in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly haha, and as he spoke, he led the two of them to the place of work and found the things that had been lost a few miles ago.
Wuguo counted his fingers on the case file, and didn't feel funny in his heart: "This person is really a thief, he lost the night pearl, the original jade, and the jade stone in just one month, and he is really rich." ”
The eldest uncle didn't respond, looked at the case file in his hand and just said lightly: "None of the cases have been solved." ”
Yes, since last year, no one has been found in every case that has been reported to the officer, large or small.
Wuguo's vision darkened, he never knew that the officials in the capital were so inefficient.
Seeing this, Fu Yin hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again and saying things like "I am not capable" and "the other party is too cunning".
Wuguo waved his hand and looked at the eldest uncle, but saw the man turn around and leave, without much reaction.
The eldest uncle took Wuguo to the nearest restaurant, ordered some food and sat down.
The red beans that were originally followed also went back early because of the things in the palace, and now there are only two people, Wuguo took the teapot placed in front of him and poured a cup for each of them.
The storyteller downstairs woke up the wood, and there was a story about the empress of the Canghuang Dynasty back then. This old and rotten story obviously did not attract the attention of the audience, and they all followed the table mates to talk without a match.
Wuguo propped her chin, thinking about the empress of the Canghuang Dynasty in the history books, she only felt a sigh, some people said that the reason for the fall of the hundred-year-old Canghuang Dynasty was because her relatives were in power, and some people said that it was because of this empress that the Canghuang Dynasty was able to survive in the back for four generations of emperors.
It's just that no one knows what the truth is.
When the storyteller saw the people in the audience, he couldn't help but wake up and pat, arousing the attention of some people, before he spoke: "Since everyone doesn't want to listen to the gossip of wild history, then the old man will tell you about the current Kyoto thief Mr. Fan." ”
As he spoke, he swept the light and noticed the change in the audience's expressions before continuing: "Anyway, this Kyoto City has had this thief since last year." This person has profound skills, can do everything by flying eaves and walls, and has stolen the financial relief of those corrupt officials many times, and he is also so brilliant that others can't find it. Therefore, the world gave him the title of 'Mr. Fan'. ”
Wuguo frowned, he must have made a lot of achievements if he could be called "sir" in Yingnan, but he didn't expect that this stealer could still have such prestige.
I only heard that Mr. Storyteller licked his lips, and continued with a glint in his eyes: "When the old man traveled to Kyoto last year, he happened to see Mr. Fan wearing a mask scattered silver taels in the slums on the outskirts of the city. Later, I inquired and learned that this Mr. Fan was the first thief in Kyoto, and he went in and out of the rich man's house to steal treasures without taking a penny and giving them to the people. ”
Wuguo listened, but didn't say much.
She is well versed in the principles of fiction, and naturally knows that this is the necessary hero in the novel. She turned her head to glance at the eldest uncle, only to see that he had finished drinking half a pot of tea in the cup, but his eyes fell on the little beggar outside.
immediately thought of Zhu Yuanwai's affairs, and joked in his heart that Zhu Yuanwai would not be a rich businessman who was robbed.
Thinking like this, she looked up at the eldest uncle and asked for advice: "What are you going to do about Zhu Yuanwai's affairs." ”
The eldest uncle retracted his gaze, looked at the girl in front of him who was winking at him with big eyes, paused, and only spoke for a long time: "Wait for the rabbit, please enter the urn." ”
Since that person wanted to steal, and he also recognized Zhu Yuan's foreign family, he would naturally patronize it.
simply released to the public that he had another famous painting, which was priceless, and waited for the thief to send it to the door himself.
In this regard, Wuguo glanced at his mouth, although it was very old-fashioned, but it was also a simple way. Pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat, carefully remove the shredded chili pepper on it, and then put the dish in your mouth.
In her previous life, as a southerner, she got along with a northern taste, and she loved spicy food, but she didn't like to eat chili peppers.
So every time I eat, it's a good job of picking and choosing.
The eldest uncle glanced at her and did not speak, eating his own food. Over the years, as her companion, the eldest uncle has more or less eaten with her, and he has long lost that etiquette, but when he eats, he still doesn't talk much.
Thinking of Wuguo clamoring for him and the people in the embassy pavilion, he couldn't help but smile, but there were too many things to make people unable to understand whether this was joy or self-deprecation.
Now that the two countries are at peace on the surface, there is already an undercurrent in private, if it weren't for the protection of the person in front of him, he wouldn't be able to live smoothly, but the essence of the matter originated from her, and he still remembered.
Holding the brown chopsticks, his eyes couldn't help but darken. Immediately thinking that Zong Qin ridiculed his brother for not being able to do anything, he knew Beixue's current situation.
When my eyes fell on the idle clouds outside the window, I couldn't help but lose my mind.
Wuguo looked at the person opposite at forty-five degrees and looked at the sky, thinking that it was because of the case, so he immediately put a piece of meat in the man's bowl, poked him, and said, "With me here, my father will not embarrass you." ”
She also thought about it, even if the Kyoto bureaucrats were corrupt, it was impossible for them not to catch thieves in a year or two, because only the other party was really good at hiding.
If the other party does not take the initiative to show up, then their pursuit plan will naturally fail.
Although the father did not make a request on the surface of the case, he secretly said that he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible.
She made trouble with her father and agreed to solve the case with her, so naturally she would receive a lot of attention, she didn't care, but what would happen to this proton who stayed in another country.
Her eyes darkened, and she made a secret decision in her heart.
It's just that inadvertently, Wuguo seems to care more and more about him.
