Chapter Twenty-Three: Two Thefts in One Night
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation) "The two sons are also coincidental today, we have just bought some Silla mullet, and Chef Xie will make a 'jumper' for the two sons in a while, and the two of them will try it?" There is also Jiangnan's 'sugar crab', and with a vinegar celery to drink, it's quite enough for two people, how about it? The young man skillfully recommended dishes for the two of them.

"Okay, didn't I say it, it's up to you to do it, and you're still rambling here." Yu Xiaoren didn't appreciate it at all, urging the young man to leave quickly.
"Tell me quickly, how did you get that Hai Dongqing?" Yang Guang had a strong interest in the eagle that pecked Yu Xiaoren, and as soon as the young man left the room, he couldn't wait to ask.
"If the prince is interested, after a while, I will accompany the prince to go on a trip and order a 'jade claw', how about it?" Yu Xiaoren raised his hand and pointed to the East Market across the street, pretending to say mysteriously.
Although Yang Guang didn't know what this 'jade claw' was, he guessed from Yu Xiaoren's words that most of them were the best Haidongqing varieties, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Are you saying that there are Haidongqing sellers in this East Market?" ”
Yu Xiaoren nodded: "The prince himself knows, don't leak the news, if you let the court know that someone in Chang'an East City is buying and selling Haidongqing in private, this 'jade claw' prince won't be able to get it." I heard that the prince's mansion was robbed last night, but did you lose anything important? ”
As soon as Yang Guang mentioned this, he was angry: last night, an uninvited guest came to his house, An Ruoxi had an abortion without authorization, and these embarrassing things that were originally unspeakable in front of outsiders spread all over the city within a day's effort, so where to put his face! Riding a donkey from Taixue with Yu Xiaoren, Yang Guang has secretly decided: When he returns to the house today, he will expel An Ruoxi from the mansion, so as not to keep her by his side, and in the future, he will become a trick for people like Yang Xiu to make fun of him.
Yu Xiaoren looked at Yang Guang's expression, knowing that he didn't want to mention this matter again, so he immediately added: "My family also entered the thief last night, Lord Wang, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”
Yu Xiaoren's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and Shangshu's right servant shot Yu Qingze, even if the guard force in his house was not as good as his own Jin Palace, it must be about the same, and he actually entered the thief?
Yang Guangdeng came to his senses, stared at Yu Xiaoren with his eyes, and asked, "What time was this last night?" What did you lose in your house? Did the thief catch it? ”
"Don't worry, listen to me from the beginning. The thief was really good, and came to my house once, from in and out, it was like entering a no-man's land, until this morning when the servants of the family cleaned my father's study, and found that there were several letters written by my father from the state of the study, and then I found out that there was a thief in the house. After I heard the news, I immediately sent someone to report the case to Jingzhao Yamen, who had already sent cadres to investigate the scene of the theft at home, so I was late for today's Taixue examination. ”
"You mean, it wasn't until this morning that you found out that there was a thief in your house? That thief sneaked into your house and stole only a few letters from Ling Zun, didn't he take the rest of the goods and jewelry? Yang Guang frowned, and he couldn't think of what use this thief would do if he just stole a few letters from home.
"Lord Wang, you said that there were two robberies overnight, could this be done by the same person?" Yu Xiaoren looked at Yang Guang with flickering eyes and reminded him.
Yang Guang carefully recalled the passage of Xian Yuluo last night when he found someone on the roof of An Ruoxi's house, and couldn't figure out a clue for a while, so he didn't say anything about Yu Xiaoren's questioning, and only asked him rhetorically: "Do you still remember, what are the contents of Ling Zun's stolen family letters?" Could it be that the thief was a thief with a weak heart, and just unintentionally, took those letters? ”
Yu Xiaoren shook his head and said thoughtfully: "It shouldn't be unintentional. I vaguely remember that the few letters I lost were all written by my father after he was ordered to lead the army out of the town and the state, and the content written in them was only about his recent situation in the state, and there were some words to tell the family, there was nothing special. Oh, by the way, in a letter that came back recently, my father also mentioned about the Turks, but it seems that it was only a mention that the Turks have been moving frequently in recent days, and their intentions are unknown, and he has sent a chapter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to be on strict guard. ”
"Could it be that this thief was sent by the Turks?" Yang Guang remembered that his mother Queen Dugu suspected that An Ruoxi beside him was the eyeliner that Yuwen Panruo, the former princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, deliberately planted, and was suddenly surprised, "If An Ruoxi is really Yuwen Panruo's person, then not only did the thief who sneaked into Yu's mansion last night and steal Yu Qingze's family letter be the same person as he hid in An Ruoxi's house, that is, even the purpose of his trip was also clear at a glance: sneaking into his own mansion was to connect with An Ruoxi, and going to Yufu to steal letters was to spy on the military situation." ”
This astonishing discovery made Yang Guangshen can't help but become excited: today's experience is really very different from yesterday, although he fought with his two brothers for An Ruoxi's abortion, but firstly, with a few Tang poems, he can be said to be out of the limelight in the Taixue examination school, and secondly, he inadvertently guessed the identity and intention of the uninvited guest in the house last night, and he was only one step away from finally solving the case and capturing the real murderer.
"Lord Wang, I heard that something happened to Miss An in your house yesterday, she was a celebrity around Yuwen Panruo, could these two robberies be committed by the same person......" Yu Xiaoren's subsequent words completely shattered Yang Guang's dream of being a detective.
It turns out that a gentleman like Yu Xiaoren can also guess the same result as himself! In an instant, Yang Guang's self-confidence was hit hard.
However, Yu Xiaoren was still uninterested, and continued: "Even if these two robberies are really committed by one person, and this person is indeed sent by the Turks, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to find him in Chang'an City, which has hundreds of thousands of households, and take him down in one fell swoop." But I don't know what the prince has to deal with this, so that he can learn from it and learn from it. ”
"Why hasn't a dish come up for a long time?" Yang Guang looked at it left and right, but he thought stupidly in his heart: What else can I do besides immediately driving An Ruoxi out of my Jin Palace?
His gaze inadvertently collided with Yu Xiaoren's expectant eyes, and then he thought about it again, and seemed to guess a little bit of Yu Xiaoren's real intention of asking him to come to the "south bank of the Yangtze River" to drink and talk secretly: the few family letters stolen from his home would never be as irrelevant as he just said, and most of them contained military secrets that could not be obtained by the Turks, otherwise, with Yu Xiaoren's personality and identity, he would never risk provoking himself to anger and take the initiative to mention An Ruoxi's abortion. Not to mention the blatant suspicion that his personal maid is the eyeliner of the Turks. And now the reason why he is anxious to pull the two robberies together is nothing more than to drag himself into the water to cover up his father Yu Qingze's negligence in leaking the military plane.
"Two sons, are you ready to serve?" At this moment, a clear voice sounded outside the door and asked the room.
