Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sharpening the Knife

The night is slightly cool, the world after midnight is silent, in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, there are only a few dim night lights, the night vigil can't stay sleepy, hugging the pillar and sleeping extremely sweetly.

A shadow swept across the wall, like a wind, blowing directly towards the main courtyard.

The boudoir belonging to the lady of this mansion is naturally the best decorated, and the maid who keeps watch locks the doors and windows, but it is not so difficult to open them.

The goal of the shadow is very clear, and he went directly to the delicate and atmospheric carved dresser, the dressing box has a total of three layers, but in fact, there is a mezzanine hidden compartment inside.

There was a small box in the dark grid.

Shadow took out the small box, wanted to open it and take a look, but found that it was locked, and did not dare to stay long, so he quickly restored the dresser and took the box away.

Everything was swift and discreet, barely making a sound.

The room was gone, and silence returned to the room, as if no one had noticed that anyone had ever been here.

About half an hour later, there was a soft knock on the doorframe.

The man lying flat on the bed slowly sat up: "Come in." ”

Where is the sober tone, like falling asleep?

A thief didn't know when he entered the room, this time someone was stealing, if she wanted to kill her next time, wouldn't she even know how she died?

If she hadn't had the intention to release water, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to get in this courtyard.

Mingzhu, who was dressed in night clothes, came in, didn't dare to look up at the person on the bed, and knelt down on one knee respectfully: "Master, my subordinates are derelict in their duties and have lost them." ”

"Where did you lose it?"

"Southeast Street, entered the Zhao Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and his subordinates found that there were other people following him, I am afraid that he also found out, so he entered the Zhao Mansion to hide."

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, but it's a pity that I didn't see this good show, and I couldn't find out the people behind the scenes, but ...... Don't worry, the bait has been put down, and you can always catch a fish. ”

These people went to Huo's house thousands of times, just for that box.

If you want to steal other people's things, forget it, but if you can't steal it, you will commit murder, killing her mother.

Now, she took out the box, she wanted to see who wanted it so much, and since she wanted it so much, she had to have the consciousness to pay the price.

From the moment she took the box out of Castle Peak City, she knew that someone would come and steal it sooner or later, so she was always ready to wait.

But it's a little regrettable that I couldn't catch people directly, and if I caught them alive, I might have taken a lot of detours, but it's useless to say anything at the moment.

Well, that's not right....... Maybe you can start with one place, like the maid in her yard, if every eyeliner, how can that person know so clearly that she put things in the secret compartment of the dresser?
