Chapter 44: The Tigress
Hu Xin still looked cold when he looked at Xu Siyin, and he only glanced at him before taking the short sword back: "If it weren't for this, I would have chopped off his head." β
Ji Santong: "...... Tigress! β
Husin looked up.
Ji Santong shrank back: "I didn't say anything!" β
Hu Xin snorted coldly.
Xu Siyin stepped forward and walked to Hu Xin's side, seeing her dusty appearance, she hadn't even had time to change her coat, and it was still covered with stagnant water after the snow melted, he said, "When did you come back?" It's not that you have to stay in Jiangyang for a few days. β
Hu Xin said: "I received news that someone broke into the eldest princess's mausoleum, and rushed back overnight, but I didn't expect to see that the eldest princess's mansion was also stolen after entering the city." β
Her tone was extremely bad,
"You went to arrest someone, did you catch it?"
Xu Siyin knew how much Hu Xin cared about the eldest princess, and he didn't care about her indifferent appearance, but just shook his head: "I've searched the entire Ronghefang, and even the surrounding mansions have been searched, but I haven't caught anyone." β
Hu Xin frowned and looked at him: "Didn't you say that you have ordered the entire Ronghefang to be blocked, and you won't let people run away?" β
Ji Santong interjected on the side: "The seal is sealed, but the female thief is masked, and she doesn't know where she is hiding, there are so many people in Ronghefang, you can't catch them one by one for trial." β
"Why not?"
Hu Xin said coldly, "If you are caught and beaten one by one, I don't believe that I can't be tried." β
Ji Santong was speechless.
Xu Siyin knew Hu Xin's temperament, and he was also a little helpless, so he persuaded in a low voice: "The people living in Ronghefang are all ministers of the court, there are two ministers in the Guangshang Book, and half of them are in the five temples, and there are a few people who have been awarded the title of knighthood." β
"It's just that they don't dare to stop them when they go to search, but if they really want to bring all the female dependents and servants back for strict interrogation, not to mention that they don't agree, even if they can't fit in the prison."
εΎεεΊ΅ says:
"If there is real evidence to know where the person is, the prince has already ordered to take the person, but now he only knows that the person has entered Ronghefang and does not know where to go."
"The prince dared to risk the world's condemnation for the eldest princess, but His Majesty would never agree, the court and the central government have finally settled down in the past two years, and they can't really set off the capital for a thief?"
Husin pursed his lips.
The relationship between Emperor Zhao and King Li is only known to them, and the delicate balance between the two also depends on the death of the eldest princess, and she only feels bitter in her throat when she thinks of the appearance of the eldest princess when she goes.
After a while, Hu Xin calmly said, "There is no direction?" β
"Nope."
"Yes."
Xu Siyin frowned and looked at Ji Santong, and Ji Santong said: "We didn't find anyone this time, but I always feel that there is someone who is a little strange, she was on Yuxiu Mountain when the imperial tomb was stolen before, and this time she is next to Ronghefang." β
Xu Siyin looked at Ji Santong: "You mean Mrs. Gu?" β
Ji Santong nodded.
Xu Siyin said: "Haven't you already tried, not her?" β
"I just tried not to be that girl, but now that I think about it, there won't be only one girl around her, right?"
Ji Santong said, "Didn't the prince say it, the person who fought with me today should be one of the two people who stole into the imperial tomb that day, and the people who entered the imperial tomb that day were also two women." β
"After the accident in the Imperial Mausoleum, you took someone to seal the entire Yuxiu Mountain, and it is impossible for anyone to escape, and the only people who can mix out of the Yuxiu Mountain are those pilgrims who offer incense in the Big Buddha Temple."
Most of those pilgrims were nobles from Beijing, who were frightened that night and hurried down the mountain the next day.
Those who can blend in to avoid the Eagle Guard's search and hide their identities are the only ones.
Ji Santong looked very aggressive, but his mind was fine:
"Then the Xie family was in the Great Buddha Temple at the time, and there was still blood on his body, and he was near Ronghefang tonight, how could there be such a coincidence?"
"I didn't think about it before, but then I thought about it, how could the thief really lead people to the door of the house when he knew that someone was chasing her, the Gu family was closest to Ronghefang, and the street was turned in the past, and the thief could hide under the noses of the pursuers, and the most likely ones were those near Ronghefang."
"And the only one of these people who has anything to do with that day in the Big Buddha Temple is that Xie family."
Xu Siyin frowned when he heard this.
Hu Xin was taken to heart and said directly: "Which Gu family?" β
Ji San channel: "It's the one in the Anhou Mansion." β
When Hu Xin heard this, he turned around and left.
Ji Santong hurriedly said: "Hey, why are you going?" β
Hu Xin didn't reply to her, only quickly stepped on the ground and soared onto the roof, but disappeared in front of them in a moment.
Seeing this, Xu Siyin said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that you don't know how much Hu Xin cares about the matter of the eldest princess, but she won't let go of that person easily if she touches it, and the matter of Mrs. Gu is just your suspicion and there is no evidence. β
"What if it's a coincidence, and Hu Xin really hurts someone?!"
Ji Santong muttered when he heard this: "I just said ......"
Hu Xin's woman was very stingy, he mentioned that the Gu family just wanted her to know, they really went to check, how did they know that Hu Xin went again.
Xu Siyin glared at him: "I'm afraid that after Hu Xin comes back, I am afraid that I haven't even seen the prince, if she causes trouble this time, it will be good for you." β
Ji Santong turned around and left, and was grabbed by Xu Siyin and pulled back by the collar.
"Why are you going?"
Ji San Channel: "I'm going to stop her, what if this tigress really kills someone?" β
Xu Siyin said angrily: "I know that I am in a hurry at this time, what did I do earlier?" β
He said with a calm face,
"Hu Xin should go to see Mrs. Gu Shao, he won't do it easily, let's go first and talk to the prince about tonight's matter, the prince is still waiting, and I will ask the prince about the rest of the matter first."
Ji Santong thought of how his prince would react after entering, and instantly hung his head.
How could he be so unlucky.
β¦β¦
Hu Xin's light skills were excellent, and when he arrived outside Ronghe Fang, he also saw eagle guards hiding everywhere and guarding the vicinity.
She discerned the direction and directly found the Xian'an Hou Mansion.
Although Hu Xin hated Ji Santong and the others, he also knew that King Li would never spare the people who trespassed into the eldest princess's mansion.
Since they had already come to check here, they would definitely not let go of the suspicious person, but in the end, they didn't bring anyone back, and they were afraid that no evidence was found at all.
Hu Xin glanced at the Xian'an Hou Mansion, and did not go directly in, but went around the entire Xian'an Hou Mansion, and walked back and forth from Ronghefang to the nearest few routes of the Xian'an Hou Mansion, and finally stopped on the beam of the house, looking at the footprints on it with a gloomy face.
The footprints were very deep, and they were clearly left behind when they moved.
Although the snow has been hidden at night, you can still see traces when you look closely.
