Jing Yao's words reminded Mu Qingwan, and telling others what he had done in such a big way was a lot less troublesome.

Mu Qingwan began to admire the wisdom of Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu.

"There are still some exercises."

Jing Yao is only eleven years old, one year older than himself, and the cynicism on the surface is just a disguise.

Mu Qingwan sighed, it seems that she still has to be more cautious in the future, especially when Second Master Mu returns to Beijing this time, he is destined to be a thorn in the side of others.

The children of ancient times were precocious, and all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues were played perfectly.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning for a long time, Mu Qingwan finally fell asleep.

The first thing after breakfast was to go to the treasury to look at the dowry, and it seemed that Jing Yao's appearance last night did not affect his mood too much.

At noon, Mu Qi sent the latest news.

Hanxiangen main courtyard.

Second Master Mu's family was there, and even Mu Chen, who was studying hard in retreat and preparing for the exam, was also present.

"Sir, madam, my subordinates have found out. The third child has a yard in Willow Lane, Flower Street, which is common in Yihong Courtyard. Bought Yihong Courtyard, cough cough. It turned out that the third child was adopted by the Li family, and was later expelled from the Li family because of a crime. After the death of the old lady (Li), she got on the head with Aunt Li, and the dowry that Aunt Li secretly removed from the house was handed over to the third child to deal with, and the third child was very familiar with the people of the three religions and nine streams in the capital, and there were many channels for selling stolen goods. Mainly jewelry, it's easy to get rid of. The subordinates found some money in the third child's residence, not only some of them were taken from the dowry and they had not yet taken it off, but there were also some others that I don't know where they came from, and the total amount of money was more than the dowry taken away. ”

"The third child will pretend to be a vegetable farmer every month, come to the back door of the Hou Mansion and wait, and the mother-in-law arranged by Aunt Li there will lead people into the house, and the rest of the things will be the same as what I found before."

"As for the current three stores, Mo Yu Zhai, Zhen Bao Lou and Ya Ming Village, the shopkeeper and the account office are all from the original Li family, but they were all bought by Aunt Li later and made fake accounts. Half of the money that was stolen in the store had to be used for Mu Sanye's daily expenses, and the other half was saved by Aunt Li to the bank. ”

"Also, my subordinates checked it out, Mu Sanye is idle now, going out to fight cocks and walk birds all day long, because he is generous, and he is very familiar with a group of second ancestors."

After Mu Qiyu finished reporting, he waited on the side for dispatch.

"What do you guys think? Qingwan said? ”

Second Master Mu didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Mu Qingwan.

"Huh? The daughter thinks that taking the dowry from the treasury yesterday is already a surprise, and now the top priority is to close the net immediately, and not let the people involved run away. ”

Mu Qingwan probably knew what Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu were thinking.

"The third brother should report to the official there, and let the government deal with it. The shopkeeper and the bookkeeper were all called into the Hou Mansion, and the account books were found and brought together, and the missing part of the dowry in the treasury was recorded. ”

Second Master Mu instructed Mu Qi and Xu Niangzi to take the next action, and the two of them immediately set off to do something.

"Okay, don't watch the excitement anymore, go back."

Mrs. Mu sent a few children back to their respective yards, and looking at the backs of a few people leaving, Mrs. Mu said to Second Master Mu worriedly.

"Master, there are too many eyeliners in the capital, and I don't know if it's right or wrong for us to do this?"

"Don't worry, Jane, this will make people relax their vigilance, probably thinking that we are capable of this. Don't worry, now that the situation in the capital is tense, you can't take care of us, let's just stay away from some things. ”

"I regret going back to the capital a little, everything is fine in Pingcheng, and I have to worry about every moment after I come back. There are also a few children, and they are the ones I can't worry about the most. ”

"Relax, we can't accompany them for a lifetime, we should always learn to grow up. It's just Qingwan, Qingwan has to put a little more effort into it, Qingwan is the most soft-hearted among the children, and the two of us are both decisive people, and I don't know who to follow? I'm really afraid that this child will suffer in the future, after all, things are unpredictable in the capital. ”

Second Master Mu hugged Mrs. Mu and comforted him gently, but when he mentioned Mu Qingwan, he was full of worry. It's just that Mu Qingwan won't know about this thought.

"Who else can you look like? Isn't it like my mother-in-law who has never met? But I don't care, I'm just such a daughter, I will protect her no matter what the flesh falls from my body. ”

Mrs. Mu said firmly.

"Well, me too, and a couple of other kids."

The husband and wife hugged each other tightly.

Mu Qi and the others were very fast, and they got things done in the evening.

"Go to the side courtyard to invite my father, oh, there is also a Buddhist hall to invite Aunt Li."

Second Master Mu said.

Since Anping Hou met Mu Er Ye when he came back, he went back to the side courtyard and closed the door, this is the second time he has left the side hospital.

In the main hall of the Marquis of Anping, the masters are all there, but this time the juniors are not there.

"Father, that's probably how it happened."

Second Master Mu briefly explained to An Pinghou the reason for calling everyone over and some of the things he had found.

"No, isn't that so? Sir, I was deceived, I don't know at all. ”

Aunt Li cried and explained to An Pinghou, compared to An's, Aunt Li is still very well maintained, she is in her fifties, her skin is still fair, and there are only subtle wrinkles on her face.

Aunt Li's appearance is four or five points similar to Mu Erye, Mu Erye wondered why Aunt Li in the house looked so similar to himself when he was a child, compared to the eldest brother who was "a fellow mother" with himself, but the third brother born to Aunt Li looked like himself, until he later knew the truth of the matter, and found out that the truth was so unbearable. Therefore, Mu Erye resented An Pinghou's ruthlessness, and also resented An's killing, and even hated his mother's early death, which caused his own tragedy...... was cynical when he was a teenager, and Mu Erye also had an immature side......

Now Aunt Li is crying, it doesn't make people feel ugly at all, but it makes people pity, at least An Pinghou looked at this face that was seven or eight points similar to his deceased wife, and his heart softened.

"Get up first, don't kneel on the ground, like what?"

As soon as An Pinghou's words came out, Aunt Li knew in her heart that she had saved it this time.

"Hmph, Kitsune."

Compared with Aunt Li's charm, An's is even more embarrassed. Looking at Aunt Li's appearance, An gritted his teeth hatefully, but thinking that Aunt Li was caught in the wrong place today, he couldn't help but gloat and completely forgot about his ugliness yesterday.

"Second brother, has this really been clarified? Could there be any misunderstanding? ”

An Pinghou asked Second Master Mu. Second Master Mu sneered in his heart, Marquis Anping has also been an official for many years, isn't it clear enough to see which is right and which is wrong? But his face was impassive.

"Back to the father, the son has already found out, and the shopkeeper and the account office of the store have been brought over, so you can call in for questioning."

"Call it."

An Pinghou waved his hand.

"Master, that's the way it is, Aunt Li asked us to make false accounts, otherwise the slaves wouldn't dare."

The shopkeeper and the bookkeeper reported the situation one by one, and then knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Master, I'm a woman, where do I have this ability? I just want to keep the dowry for my sister, where would I have expected so many accidents, if my sister has a spirit in the sky, she must be sad for her sister, right? ”
