Chapter 295: A thief
Lan Xin glanced at Duanmu Ye lightly, and did not give him a clear answer, Duanmu Ye saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to leave stupidly.
There was no progress on what he wanted to know, Duanmu Ye felt that it was really boring to stay, and he was about to sneak out quietly, and when he walked to the gate, he heard a noisy sound outside the door, and couldn't help but take a look at it curiously.
Look at the two members of their own house, pointing at a weeping woman, who is dressed in tatters, her face covered with dust, and her hair is messy, kneeling at their gate.
Duanmu Ye walked over, stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, thoughtfully, today is really lively, the Duanmu family, which is full of birds, suddenly came with so many strangers.
"Hey! Why do you kneel before my door and weep? Did you know that it is unlucky? Duanmu Ye said angrily.
When the woman heard the inquiry, she slowly raised her head with a little fear, although her face was full of dust, she couldn't hide his face, this woman turned out to be Liuxia!
"I've seen Childe! I beg my son to take me in! Liuxia looked at Duanmu Ye with tears in her eyes, and the tears that flowed out made marks on her face, and anyone who looked unbearable could not bear it.
Although Duanmu Ye usually looks like a ruffian, he has no resistance to women's tears, and he originally thought that he could break the casserole and ask for something else, but now he has no idea about carrying two lines of tears.
Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Eh, girl, you have something to say, I didn't bully you, I just asked you a few words, don't cry!" ”
"Childe, my father and mother died, and I was persecuted by bullies, and all the fields and houses in the family were occupied by them, I really have no place to go now, please take me in, laundry and cooking, serve tea and pour water, I can do anything, as long as Childe can reward me with a mouthful of food." Liu Xia knelt down and approached Duanmu Ye as he spoke.
Where can Duanmu Ye withstand such a posture, these three or two sentences made him disarm and surrender by himself, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you stop, don't be like this, it's easy for people to misunderstand like this." ”
Duanmu Ye hurriedly made a gesture to the family: "What are you two still doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and take this girl in to wash and change her clothes. ”
The family was a little hesitant, and whispered in Duanmu Ye's ear: "Childe, our place is so remote, and the sudden appearance of such a woman of unknown origin will inevitably make people suspicious, it is better to ask the head of the house and see ...... the head of the house."
Before Jia Ding finished speaking, he ate Duanmu Ye's loud brain melon: "You stinky boy!" Why don't my words work in this house? Don't use my dad to press me for everything! I'm going to be the Lord today, even if my dad comes, he can't stop me! Hurry up and do as I say, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and when I come back, don't let me know that you disobeyed my orders!" ”
After speaking, Duanmu Ye jumped out like a gust of wind, and the family realized that Duanmu Ye wanted to sneak out.
"Childe! Childe, where are you going? The lord won't let you go around! The family chased and shouted behind, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone, so he had to give up.
After Liuxia was brought into the house, he was carefully observing the surrounding environment all the way, and suddenly a familiar figure came into view, and a trace of panic flashed in Liuxia's eyes, so he quickly lowered his head and followed closely behind Jiading.
"Lord Wang? It turned out that he had already arrived here one step ahead of himself, and it seemed that he had sped up. Liuxia thought to herself.
Before coming here, Mo Yan also checked the Duanmu family, and he knew a little about the layout of his courtyard, and the secret treasure of the family inheritance of blood jade would definitely not be placed in a very conspicuous place, but would be stored in a place like a secret room, and the most likely secret room was Duanmu Yang's study and bedroom.
Mo Yan's identity is now known to everyone, Mo Yan walked back and forth in the yard, naturally no one dared to come up and say a word, seeing a chic small courtyard, Mo Yan paused a little and walked in.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, a person suddenly came to him, and he saluted Mo Yan with a fist: "I've seen the prince." ”
The man blocked the way with his body, and it was clear that this place was not something that idlers could enter casually.
"Where is this?" Mo Yan asked.
"Go back to the prince, this is the place where the head of my family practices, the master of the family, I am practicing in it at the moment, it is really not easy to disturb, if the prince has something, either wait and come again, or tell the next generation, and the next will convey it." The meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, the words leave people can't go in.
"It's not an important matter, since the Duanmu family master has something to do, then I won't bother, then I'll come over when the Duanmu family master is done." Mo Yan looked inside again.
"The head of the family practices for two hours a day, and it is already late at night at the end, if the prince has nothing important, it is better to come back early tomorrow morning."
"Well, we'll have to wait until tomorrow." Mo Yan said thoughtfully, then turned around and left here.
Night fell quietly, and the busy people in the house gradually quieted down, and the entire Duanmu Mansion was quiet, except for a few night watchmen who occasionally walked around, nothing else could be seen.
Taking advantage of the night, in the place where the next person lives, Liuxia quietly got up, tiptoed out of the house after getting dressed, he quickly came to Duanmu Ye's study, the study is locked, Liuxia observed the lock, and then took out a slender strip of things, and tinkered in the keyhole for a while, the lock opened with a click, Liuxia carefully took off the lock, and then quickly flashed into the study.
After entering, I began to look carefully in the study, this study is no different from the study of ordinary large families, that is, there are some books and porcelain, I checked in the study for a while, and I didn't find anything different, when Liu Xia was wondering, he suddenly heard a movement, and then heard someone shouting.
"Someone! A thief! ”
With this shout, it immediately aroused the vigilance of other people, and they rushed over to this side, Liu Xia panicked in his heart, he never thought that he was discovered as soon as he made a move, and he must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, he will definitely die without a place to be buried.
At this moment, the door of the study was slammed open, and a person held a lantern aloft to illuminate the entire study.
"What about thieves?" With Duanmu Ye coming in, as soon as he entered the study, he began to look everywhere, and several family members also checked all corners of the study, but they didn't find a single figure.
Duanmu Ye turned to look at Jiading angrily: "Where is the thief?" ”
The housekeeper craned his neck and looked inside, and there was indeed no stranger in the whole room except them, but the lock in the study was open, and if there was no thief, how did the lock be opened?
"Childe, someone picks the lock, then there must be a thief, maybe we missed something and didn't check?" Jia Ding said with some confidence.
Duanmu Ye immediately gave the family a loud brain meltdown: "This study is so big, these people have checked back and forth several times, how can there be any people?" I think it's because you kid didn't lock the door during the day, and made such a big commotion, but fortunately you didn't alarm my father, otherwise you would not be able to eat and walk around! ”
As soon as Duanmu Ye said this, Jia Ding now suspected that he had not locked the door, scratched his head, and recalled carefully.
Duanmu Ye has the kung fu to help him remember here, like driving a flock of sheep, and coaxing them all outside: "Oh, let's go!" It's a false alarm, everyone still has to sleep, hurry up and go. ”
After everyone went out, Duanmu Ye dragged the family over, pointed to the lock and said, "Now lock the door immediately." ”
Where did the family dare to be negligent now, and after saying it, he repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, and then he retreated.
After all the family members left, Duanmu Ye quietly turned back and hid behind the pillar at the door, his eyes like owls, staring at the door with bright eyes.
Duanmu Ye didn't believe that the family didn't lock the door at all, he must have entered the thief, since he couldn't find him, then he simply came to wait for the rabbit, and he didn't believe that the thief could disappear out of thin air.
There was no movement outside the study, Liu Xia dodged smartly, and actually jumped off the beam, if it wasn't for his quick eyes just now, he jumped on the beam of the room at the moment when they came in, I don't know what the situation is at this moment?
Now that the door of the study has been locked again, even if Liuxia has 100,000 skills, he can't open it in the house, but he must leave here as soon as possible, and he can't help but turn his eyes to the window.
Fortunately, the window didn't have any special mechanism, no different from ordinary windows, Liuxia slowly opened a gap, and after confirming that it was safe, he quickly jumped out.
But when his feet landed, he didn't know what he stepped on, making a crisp sound, Liu Xia panicked in his heart, and he didn't care about closing the window, so he directly used light skills to escape.
And Duanmu Ye, who was guarding the front door, also heard that sound, and secretly said that it was bad, so he hurriedly went around to the back window, but he didn't find anything except the swaying window, and couldn't help but pat his head in annoyance.
"How did I not think he would run away from the back window? Negligent! What an oversight! The more Duanmu Ye thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't just leave it at that.
"That thief can slip away under the nose of this son, he must have kung fu on him, who could it be?" Duanmu Ye went through all the people of the Duanmu family in his mind, and he didn't find anyone who matched, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Is it ......?"
