The eldest lady stopped crying with sobbing, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she peeked into Dou Zhao's expression.

Dou Zhao put down the teacup at this time, and then sank gently, and said: "It seems that the eldest aunt already knows that there are thieves who covet my dowry, and she actually took advantage of the time when the British Mansion was in the water to fish in the second gate and attack Yi Zhitang, wanting to do something unfavorable to me?" ”

This matter has long been fried.

The dignified and super-first-class noble family, once followed the founding heroes of Taizu's southern expedition to the north and the south, for more than 100 years, the British mansion, known as the most prominent hairpin house in Kyoto, was actually broken into by thieves, and there are a large number of thieves whose whereabouts are unknown, I don't know whether it is to look at the shape of the shì sneaked out of the British Mansion or hid in the British Mansion which of the horns, the pottery also needs the help of the servants at home to find someone, and I can't hide it if I want to.

Panic blew like the wind through the British Mansion. The eldest lady and the Dong family were warned not to go out, and several of the stout-looking mothers-in-law who served them were called to assist the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in searching for the thieves, only a few old and ignorant little maids accompanied them, and the room was deserted, and a few little maids were even more frightened and shrunk into a ball, hugging each other and crying non-stop, so that the eldest lady and the Dong family who stayed in the British mansion were shocked and frightened, and regretted it, for fear that a thief would break in...... As soon as she heard that Dou Zhao was looking for her, she couldn't care about the previous gap, she only hoped that Dou Zhao would let them stay in the heavily guarded Yizhi Hall until dawn, and didn't want to go back to the unguarded guest room.

Hearing Dou Zhao say this, the eldest lady couldn't stop nodding, and comforted her along with Dou Zhao's words: "You don't have to worry! It's going to be dawn soon, and when Yantang gets the letter, he will soon rush back to preside over the overall situation......"

"It's nature!" Dou Zhao coldly interrupted the eldest lady's words, his eyes staring at him. The clear eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp cold light like a sharp blade, "Since you are in charge of the middle feed of the British Mansion, Mr. Tao is going to open the second door to get water and extinguish the water, presumably the eldest aunt agrees?" ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she shuddered.

This Dou family came to her, and sure enough, there was no kindness!

The rules of the British government are big, how can the inner courtyard allow people to enter and leave at will? During the day, there is a mother-in-law on duty at the second door, and after the lock, unless there is a pair of cards from the British government. Otherwise, no one will be allowed to enter or leave under any circumstances, let alone open the second door like this, which is like a noble lady who has been suddenly stripped of her coat, and anyone can look at it and judge it.

When Mr. Tao asked the mother-in-law on duty at night to send her a message. She also muttered a little in her heart, but she thought that Mr. Tao was a staff member of the British Princess, and he was just in charge of the British Mansion's pairs, if the outer courtyard was really burned, she couldn't afford this responsibility?

After much thought, she still let go of the second door......

Who knows, but what is afraid of what.

Because the second door was wide open, some thieves mixed in. She almost hurt Dou, and although the pottery is heavy, she is also unclear about the person in charge of the cards.

Thinking of the fact that Dou was rude and wanted to shout for her to hand over the pair of cards before, where did the eldest lady not know Dou Zhao's thoughts?

This moment. At that moment.

At this time, does she dare to say "no"?

In such a chaotic situation, Dou Shi was not hiding in the house in fear like her, but immediately thought of and used this incident to force her to admit her mistake. Force her to hand over her pair of cards and say nothing else. With this judgment of the situation, looking at the whole of Kyoto, she can't think of a second person who can have Dou's courage.

She doesn't admit her mistake, can the Dou family let her go?

Maybe when she gets out of this door, she will be tied up as an accomplice of thieves and charged with a thief.

Anyway, the second uncle and Yantang are not at home, and Mr. Tao and the others are too busy to take care of themselves, who will care about their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this, the eldest lady wilted like a frosted eggplant.

She nodded with a wry smile and shirked: "It's me who was confused for a while, thinking that since Mr. Tao is a staff member of Grandpa Guo, how can his idea be wrong?" I didn't think it was wrong......"

As she spoke, several powerful servants quietly walked in with sticks, standing behind Dou Zhao like a screen, staring at her tightly, as if she were an outer room, and if she didn't say the right thing, she would be beaten with a stick......

Is it really a downfall this time?

Don't hand over the cards, look at Dou's posture, is to rob it! But after handing over the cards, the second uncle came back, how could he spare him!

But people under the low eaves, they can't help but bow their heads!

Since Dou is determined to win, why should he provoke her again.

After making up her mind, the eldest lady changed her words and said, "After all, I am from a small family, and I don't know how powerful it is," she instructed Dong: "You go back and bring the pair of cards from the British Mansion." He said to Dou Zhao with a face full of remorse: "I am immoral and incompetent, and I also ask my wife to preside over the overall situation of the British Mansion." ”

At the same time, Song Mo, who was standing under the corridor of the duty room, looked in the direction of the British Mansion with a solemn expression.

"Can you see clearly?" His eyes were cold, and he asked the guards who had come to report because they had discovered an abnormal situation, "It's the British Mansion that went crazy?" ”

"My subordinates have seen it clearly." The guard said respectfully, "The subordinates were afraid of making a mistake, so they also ordered the people on duty outside to ride horses to investigate." Not only did the British government go on fire, but thieves also broke in. When he said this, he showed a happy expression, "Fortunately, those thieves were captured by the guards, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division rushed over in time, and now the fire has stopped, and there is nothing serious in the British Mansion, and only four guards in the mansion have been slightly injured." ”

Culprits?

At the feet of the dignified son of heaven, there are even thieves?

And dare to go to the British government to rob, who will believe it?

Song Mo's hand that fell to his side was tightly clenched into a fist, and then slowly turned his back behind him, as if this could hide his anger at the moment.

How is Dou Zhao now?

Was she hurt? Are you afraid?

She has just married into the British Mansion, I am afraid that if she encounters such a thing for the first time in her life, will he regret marrying her?

When he thought of this, his heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, fine and dense, and it hurt faintly...... But I forgot the surprise when I was held hostage by Dou Zhao.

Does this matter have anything to do with my father?

Song Mo's face gradually turned a little blue.

Hair and skin to the parents.

Father can hurt him, but not Dou Zhao?

There seemed to be a fire jumping in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Has my wife ever been injured?" ”

Dou Zhao was in the inner courtyard, even if he was injured, it would be difficult for the guards to hit him in such a short time, but he just wanted to ask, as if in this way, his heart would feel better.

The guard couldn't help but glance up at Song Mo, and a trace of confusion flashed between his eyebrows.

He had already made it clear that the British government had wounded only four of its guards. Why did the adults ask if his wife was hurt?

But Song Mo was his subordinate, Song Mo opened his mouth, and he naturally had to answer.

"I haven't heard anything about Madame's injury."

Knowing that the guard would answer like this, but when he heard it, his heart felt like a thousand waves. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows also inadvertently flashed a hint of anger, but he secretly regretted it in his heart.

Knowing this, he should have gone to the Fengtai camp in the first place.

Although it is far away from home, it is freer than in the palace.

Unlike now, he and Dou Zhao are close at hand, but because the palace door is closed, he has no way to comfort Dou Zhao. Not even a word of concern.

"Damn it!" Song Mo cursed in a gloomy voice.

Everyone thought that he was annoyed by the fire in the British Palace, and was about to step forward to comfort a few words, when a guard hurriedly walked in.

"Your Excellency!" He saluted Song Mo respectfully. "The little maid in the adult's house came in and said that the lady was safe and sound, and the house was in good order. Let everyone rest assured! ”

Song Mo's eyes lit up, and the air became brisk.

Everyone stepped forward to congratulate Song Mo.

Song Mo pondered for a moment. I went to the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor hadn't gotten up yet, he waited in the Qianqing Palace for more than half an hour before the palace lit the lights. After waiting for another half an hour, Wang Ge came out with a smile and announced his entry.

The emperor was holding a bowl of porridge.

Song Mo knelt in front of the emperor with red eyes: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to leave the palace early!" ”

The emperor was stunned.

Song Mo has always been a well-informed child, and he has never been so sad or aggrieved.

The emperor glanced at Wang Ge, and when he saw that Wang Ge didn't know, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

Song Mo said about the thieves in the house: "...... At first, I didn't know whose house it was, but because it was too close to the Forbidden Palace, I sent someone to inquire......"

Before he could speak, there was a "snap", and the gorgeous red porcelain bowl fell on the gold brick and shattered into pieces.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" The emperor was furious, "In a peaceful and prosperous world, there are thieves who have broken into the British Mansion, what is the Shuntian Mansion for?" What are the Five Cities Terracotta Division doing? He shouted loudly to Wang Ge, "Go, call me in the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion and the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!" Today they dared to rob the British Mansion, was it time to rob me yesterday? ”

The needles in the hall could be heard, and the palace maids and chamberlains were so frightened that they trembled.

Song Mo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please allow me to arrest the thief!" ”

The emperor took down the Longquan sword offered on Duobaoge, and threw it in front of Song Mo with a "clang": "Check it out to me fiercely, to see who is so bold to rob the meritorious nobles, and dare to do anything wrong under my nose?" ”

"Yes!" Song Mo kowtowed, took the sword, and left the Qianqing Palace.

Dou Zhao, Su Xin, and Su Lan sat around the kang table, looking at the pear blossom wood pair of cards contained in the rosewood box.

"This seems to be very ordinary!" Su Lan muttered and touched the right card, "If someone fakes, how can you tell the difference?" ”

"It's not a silver ticket in the Golden Building, only the vote is recognized, not anyone." Dou Zhaoshun got the pair of cards, Su Xin was also very happy, and he looked a lot more lively than usual when he spoke, "The pair of cards is sent out, and there are counts." ”

Su Lan said with a smile: "So Madame asked the eldest lady to pass on the word, and tomorrow morning she will summon the servant women of the family to speak in the upper courtyard?" ”

Su Xin smiled and nodded: "In this way, Madame will be right!" ”

Su Lan also rejoiced.

Dou Zhao smiled and handed the rosewood box to Su Xin, and said, "Let's take a nap too, right?" There's a lot more to do tomorrow! ”
