Seeing that there was no one around, she easily climbed through the window into the room and quietly walked to the table, and secretly grabbed the leftovers on the table with her little hands and hid them on her body, intending to return the same way.

However, as soon as she turned around and saw the person standing behind her, she exclaimed in fright and turned around to run.

"Look, I still want to run!" Lin Mumu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar and lifted her back, she pulled the belt on her body with her backhand and tied her hands and feet, and then lit the lights in the room.

Lin Mumu looked the thief in front of her up and down, she looked at the age of six or seven years old, she was born thin and small, and the dress she was wearing looked very dirty but the material was not bad, at least it was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear.

"Tell me, who are you, and you're the one who went to the stove to steal food before, right?"

The little girl was obviously frightened, and began to cry with a whimper.

"What's wrong with the eldest lady?"

Ning Yuan had been patrolling outside the courtyard, and as soon as he returned to Lin Mumu's courtyard, he heard movement inside, and he was afraid that Lin Mumu would have something to do, so he didn't care too much and ran in directly.

Lin Mumu stood up a little helplessly. "The thief who came to steal things in the house before was caught by me, and I was scared to cry before she could do anything."

"Woo woo woo ......" The little girl's small body trembled and cried even harder.

They all fell asleep after drinking, and the movement here didn't wake them up.

"Who the hell are you?" Ning Yuan's eyebrows were cold, and he took out the dagger on his waist and pointed it directly at the center of the little girl's eyebrows.

"Ahh

The little girl's body stiffened, and she was directly frightened......

Lin Mumu "......"

"Miss, my subordinates must interrogate people when they take them down."

Lin Mumu looked at the people on the ground who were as thin as skin, and thought that Ning Yuan was not too sympathetic, for fear that he would scare people out of the way, and he would not be able to ask anything at that time. "Forget it, it looks like it's still a child, you find an empty room and lock her in, and wait until she wakes up."

"Yes."

Ning Yuan picked up the person from the ground and walked out of the house.

Lin Mumu returned to the house and lay down, dreamless all night.

After Lin Mumu and the other officials who followed them to fight the disaster came back, Emperor Showa was happy and gave them a three-day vacation.

"The eldest lady is up."

When it was almost noon, Lin Mumu got up from the bed lazily.

"Well, it's rare to get a good night's sleep, it's really comfortable."

"Miss, the little girl you caught last night is also awake."

"Awake? Did Ning Yuan ask anything? ”

Shuangshuang shook his head. "Ning Yuan has been asking for an hour, she didn't say anything, eldest lady, you said she wouldn't be a dumb person, right?"

"I'll check it out later."

After breakfast, Lin Mumu went outside the house where the little girl was held.

"How?"

Ning Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't speak, although the body is thin but has fine skin and tender meat, it doesn't look like it has suffered." ”

Lin Mumu nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.

When she woke up in the morning, she came to see her pitifully, so she scrubbed her body, changed into clean old clothes, and cleaned up a little, which looked completely different from last night.

When the little girl saw Lin Mumu come in, she shrank back on the bed, her eyes full of fear.

Lin Mumu didn't immediately approach her, but picked up a chair closer to her and sat down, and put the food box she was carrying on the table.

"You're hungry, you also know that the maid in my house is a good cook, this is the jujube paste cake she specially made for you, do you want it."

Try? ”

She opened the food box, and the fragrance of jujube paste cake instantly wafted through the room.

The little girl looked at the jujube cake with her eyes blank, but her body was still vigilant and did not dare to move.

Lin Mumu was not in a hurry, and took a bite of jujube cake.

"It's so delicious, it's sweet but not greasy and hot, I just made two pieces, I'm eating one now, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it all." Quickly finished eating the jujube paste cake in his hand, and Lin Mumu went to get a piece of it when he sat down to eat.

Seeing this, the little girl jumped out of bed like a mouse, snatched the jujube paste cake from the plate, and then hid back on the bed and ate it.

Lin Mumu looked at her gobbling up a little sadly, and she waited for her to finish eating and walked to the bed with a bowl of goat's milk.

The little girl shrank into the bed in fear as soon as she leaned in.

"Don't be afraid, if I want to hurt you, I won't give you jujube mud cake, this is goat's milk with sugar, do you want to drink it?"

The little girl looked at the goat's milk, and then at Lin Mumu, who nodded a little shyly.

Lin Mumu handed her the goat's milk.

A big bowl of goat's milk, she drank it in three or two sips and licked her lips unsatisfied.

"Do you want to eat goat's milk and jujube paste cake every day in the future?"

The little girl looked at her with a hint of hope in her eyes, but she was cautiously guarded.

"It's not the first time you've come to my house, and I know that there aren't many people in my house, and I don't mind raising one more person......"

"This is my home!"

Before Lin Mumu finished speaking, the little girl suddenly spoke excitedly.

She had a smile on her face. "This is obviously the mansion I bought, when did it become your home?"

"This is my home! My home! The little girl became agitated.

"Okay, you said this is your home, but what about your father? Where did they go? You can't be the only one in your family, right? ”

"Daddy...... "The little girl flattened her mouth and looked like she was going to cry again." They're gone......"

"When did your father and mother disappear?"

The little girl stretched out her hand to count one, two, three, four, but in the end she couldn't count clearly. "It's been days, it's been days......"

"You tell my sister, what's your name? How old is this year? ”

"My name is Wen Yinyin, and I am six years old this year."

"You've been hiding in the house before, and you stole all the food in the stove, right?"

Wen Yinyin nodded. "I'm ......hungry," he said, his voice choked and he began to cry.

Looking at the little guy whose bean-sized tears rolled out, Lin Mumu frowned slightly. "Don't be afraid, stay here with peace of mind first, my sister won't let you go hungry anymore."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Mumu came out of the house.

"Ning Yuan, what was the surname of the master of our house before?"

"The surname is Zhang."

"Surname Zhang? So why would a little girl surnamed Wen say that this is her home? ”

Ning Yuan was surprised. "Aren't you lying?"

Lin Mumu wanted to shake her head, she couldn't be sure whether her words were true or false. "You go and check it again, and see how many times this house has changed hands in six years."

"Yes."

Lin Mumu asked Ning Xiang to take care of Wen Yinyin in the back room, and Ning Xiang was clever and might be able to see something.

After noon, Ning Yuan returned.

"Miss, my subordinates have asked the owner of this house, and the owner of this house in the past six years is only the merchant surnamed Zhang."

Saying this, Ning Xiang also entered the house.

"Miss."

"How?"

"The slave thinks that the child should have lived in the house for a long time during the New Year, and she knows even better than the slave and maid what is in the backyard."

Lin Mumu frowned and leaned lightly on the cushion. "But she said her surname was Wen." A six-year-old child looks of normal intelligence and can't even get his own surname wrong.

If she lied, why was she so familiar with everything in the house, but if she didn't lie, then why was the owner of this mansion surnamed Zhang, and didn't she buy the mansion in the name of the owner?

If that's the case, it makes sense, merchants, a city and a family, who knows who the woman he raised in this mansion is.

"Let's go and find out what the situation is with this merchant, Xiang'er, you have more contact with that child, and ask more information about her father and mother from her mouth."

"The slave understands."

……

Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Dali Siqing bowed down and walked into the study.

"Your Majesty, the case of Wu Zhengfeng in Ziyang County has recently found out some eyebrows."

The case of Wu Zhengfeng, the former county official of Ziyang County, was originally going to be closed with Wu Zhengfeng after he hanged himself, but the stolen money embezzled by Wu Zhengfeng was not found for a long time, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were exchanged for the life of a corrupt official.

"Oh? What did you find? ”

"Weichen found out that Wu Zhengfeng had always been a clean official before his death, and he never had contact with any businessman in private, but before the incident, he had met with a businessman named Wenxing several times on the grounds of his wife."

"Who is this merchant surnamed Wen?"

"It's a distant cousin of Mrs. Wu Zhengfeng."

"If there's anything unusual between them, you just say."

"Yes, recently the lower officials found out that Wenxing had raised an outer room in Xijing before, and also bought a house, before Wu Zhengfeng's accident, someone saw Wenxing escorting a cart of things into the house, and Weichen suspected that the embezzled silver was likely to be hidden in that house."

Emperor Showa's face sank. "Send someone to search, you must find the whereabouts of Guan Yin!"

"Weichen, obey the order."

As soon as Shaoqing's words from Dali Temple were handed to Emperor Showa, Zhao Xuanling received the news.

"Lord Wang, Wu Zhengfeng's wife only said that Wu Zhengfeng had frequent contact with Wenxing during that time, but she didn't know what they were plotting."

"Where is Wenxing's house in Xijing?"

Mingyang quickly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xuanling. "It's the mansion that Doctor Lin just bought."

Zhao Xuanling's dark eyes sank suddenly.

When night fell, Lin Mumu didn't know that danger was approaching her.

After Ning Xiang and Wen Yinyin got along for a day, the kid told Ning Xiang almost everything.

"I saw my dad come back with several big boxes, and he buried them here." Wen Yinyin pulled Ning Xiang and took Lin Mumu and them to a small garden in the backyard, this small garden has not been sorted out, originally Lin Mumu was going to use it to grow medicinal herbs, but because there were too many things, the matter was put on hold.

"Dig."

Ning Yuan and Shuangshuang brought shovels and began to dig.

"There's something down there!"

It didn't take long for them to dig before they let out an exclamation, and several people worked together to lift a large heavy box out of the ground.

Ning Yuan chiseled open the big lock on the box, opened the box, and a burst of silver light shone, and several people were stunned......
