As a housekeeper, Fang's purchases in the house have to pass through her hands, and she recalls it hard.

After a while, she said with certainty: "Recently, the house has not purchased any large items. It's just that there are more things in the kitchen, but they are all live birds, and there are no cabinets or other things that can hold people. ”

When Xiao Yao heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "How did the assassin come from?" Could it be that there is a secret passage in the Hou Mansion? ”

This matter can be big or small, Xiao Lei hurriedly said: "The secret passage is absolutely impossible, who is so powerful that he can dig out a secret passage without alarming the people in the house?" ”

Yan Lin also felt that it was impossible, so he had to arch his hand and said: "The young lady might as well think about it again, we have sent people to the various doors to ask carefully, hoping to help a little." ”

Fang pondered for a long time, and the little girl behind her seemed to remember something, and she looked a little speechless.

Xiao Yao glanced at it and asked, "The maid ring next to my sister-in-law seems to have something to say." ”

Fang Shi turned his head, and also saw that Shan Er's face was different, and hurriedly said: "Shan Er, if you have something to say, you can say it, it is all your own family, and you don't need to hide it." ”

Shan Er hurriedly knelt down and said, "Young lady, the slave is not concealing, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Fang Shi was anxious for a moment: "You say! How this Jurchen assassin enters the door, we must thoroughly investigate it, otherwise how can I, the temporary lady in charge, explain to the Hou Ye and the eldest young master? ”

Shan Er hurriedly said: "The eldest young lady handles it, there are no large items, but the second young lady has it." ”

"Second brother and sister?"

After mentioning it, Fang's family also remembered, and said thoughtfully: "You mean that the second brother and sister purchased something for their mother?" ”

Xiao Lei heard that it was related to his mother Yue's family, so he hurriedly asked, "Madam, what did the second brother and sister buy?" Why did it get to my mother again? ”

Fang Shi sorted out his thoughts and replied: "About a month ago, my mother ordered a batch of porcelain and handed it over to my second brother and sister to be in charge of, and recently it has been sent to the house one after another. I remember there were water and fire tanks in there, and some larger items. ”

It's the second young lady Zhou again, and Xiao Yao already has some doubts in his heart.

Xiao Lei frowned and said, "These items, is there no one to check them?" Moving in and out of the warehouse, there should be someone there, right? ”

Fang's euphemistic replied: "This matter is handed over to the second brother and sister, so I didn't ask too much." However, when carrying porcelain into the house, there should be someone registered. ”

Xiao Yao was silent for a moment and said goodbye: "If sister-in-law has nothing to add, then we will leave first." ”

Fang Shi said a little apologetically: "Why don't I accompany you to the warehouse tomorrow to inquire?" ”

"No need, eldest brother and sister-in-law should rest first, let's go to the treasury and ask."

Xiao Yao must investigate to the end tonight, Xiao Lei also said when he saw this: "Fourth brother, why don't I accompany you over." There are so many assassins infiltrated in the mansion, it should be thoroughly investigated, for fear that there will be fish that have slipped through the net. ”

Xiao Lei wanted to participate, Xiao Yao did not object, and together with Yanlin, he went to the big warehouse.

At this time, the courtyard door outside the large warehouse has been locked, and it will not be opened under normal circumstances, but Xiao Lei and Yanlin are still there, so they can successfully open the door.

Mother Wu, who was guarding the warehouse, trotted over and saluted: "The slave has seen the eldest young master, the fourth young master." I wonder what the two young masters are looking for when they come so late? Or does the Hou Ye have orders? ”

Xiao Lei is not good at talking nonsense with these slaves and maids, so he said directly: "I heard that a batch of porcelain has arrived in the warehouse recently, who sent it in, and where are the things?" ”

Mother Wu squinted her eyes with a smile on her face, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I just arrived in a batch of porcelain, all of them are big guys, and they were specially ordered by the second lady from Longquan." I was originally going to give it to the third young master, for it. ”

Seeing that Xiao Lei's face sank, Wu's mother didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly replied: "The thing was sent by the second young lady, and it was personally sent to the warehouse, not far from the door of the Xinzi warehouse. ”

"Open, let's see!"

Xiao Lei opened his mouth, Wu's mother was still a little hesitant, Yan Lin said: "It was Master Hou who sent us over to investigate some things, you just open the door, there will be absolutely no problem." ”

Mother Wu saw that the eldest young master and the fourth young master were there, and there were also the guards around the Hou Ye as a guarantee, so she asked someone to get up and open the warehouse.

Xiao Yao took advantage of their busy work and asked, "Did the porcelain enter the warehouse before it was dismantled?" Or did you dismantle and move in? ”

Wu's mother blinked and subconsciously replied: "I only demolished it when I entered the warehouse, for fear that it would be damaged." However, there are two young ladies who count together, and there is no problem. ”

When the Xinzi warehouse opened, a few lights illuminated the doorway.

There are all kinds of porcelain, including a one-person-high amphora, a three-foot-large blue and white vat, a large incense burner and flower goblet of various shapes, and a dazzling array of ornaments and bowls.

"When the second young lady counted, who was in your treasury with her?"

Xiao Yao's question, Mother Wu, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can say why.

Xiao Lei was unhappy and said angrily: "What? Isn't there any rule for collecting things in the warehouse now? ”

Mother Wu and Mother Liu hurriedly knelt down and replied, "We had something to do at the time, and we were counting other things, so we didn't go in to take stock together." But afterwards, we went in and checked, and there were quite a few of them. ”

Yan Lin went to estimate the porcelain, if it was denser, it could indeed hold more than twenty people, and it seems that this is how the Jurchen assassins should have entered.

Xiao Lei is also a little embarrassed, and now it seems that the signs are pointing to the second brother and sister Zhou, which is a bit difficult.

Xiao Yao saw Xiao Lei's hesitation, and sneered: "Big brother, don't worry, we just need to tell Master Hou, and he will handle everything." ”

This is indeed the truth, Xiao Lei then said to Wu's mother: "You must act according to the rules in the future, and you must not break the rules." Tomorrow, I will go to the young lady to receive the punishment. ”

Then, several people went back to Kangning Courtyard together and told Wei Yuanhou what they had found.

These two things are related to the Zhou family, even if Wei Yuanhou trusts this second daughter-in-law again, he will inevitably be a little suspicious.

"Come on, go and see if Xiao Xin and the Zhou family are resting, and invite them to come over. Xiao Lei, you also ask someone to invite your wife over. ”

Wei Yuanhou thought of his mother, who was still poisoned and bedridden, and was determined to find out to the end. Whoever colludes with a foreign race is an unforgivable capital crime.

Zhou knew that if the assassination failed, Xiao Yao would definitely follow the vine and find out that the cotton clothes were delaying the patrol of the guards, and she already had a countermeasure.

Therefore, when Yan Lin came to pass the word, she just put on a mask of surprise and came to Kangning Courtyard with Xiao Xin.

After the Fang family left Xiao Yao and them, she had never fallen asleep, and as soon as someone spread the news, she rushed over, and Xiao Xin and them were only front and behind.

Everyone took the lead in saluting Wei Yuanhou, and then sat down in order.

"I came to you tonight to ask the Zhou family, why do you want to transport porcelain into the warehouse alone? And why do you choose to give gifts at the time of the shift? ”
