Chapter 721: Pull out the radish and bring out the mud

Seeing the thieves breaking into the room, Pomegranate was suddenly paralyzed with fright. He sat down on the floor along the dresser.

The thief's eyes are thieves, and at a glance he saw the pomegranate on the table worried about the return of Prince Mo and the jewelry that he had just taken off.

The jade bracelets, necklaces, and earrings on the table were there, and the thief could not pass by without taking them, grabbing them in his hands with a stroke of the hand, and then rushing towards the closed window on the other side of the room.

With a bang, the thief smashed the window and fled.

There was chaos outside, and there were guards in the house chasing after him.

Immediately afterward, two guards rushed in through the door that had been slammed open, followed by six or seven family members.

"Ah, Pomegranate girl, how are you?"

"Pomegranate girl is frightened!"

They all have guys in their hands, apparently because the bad guys are chasing after them.

"No, it's not good! The gangster stole my jewelry! That's a treasure worth tens of thousands of taels!" Pomegranate shouted, "Three, three pieces of jewelry just sent today......"

When she called here, she shuddered and realized that she had slipped out.

"What?" the crowd was shocked.

Jewelry worth tens of thousands of taels was robbed?

No one has time to think about how a maid can have tens of thousands of taels of jewelry, but they are frightened.

They were responsible for the garrison of the house.

If the thief comes, he will be driven away. Although he didn't take the thief, it can be regarded as a credit, and it is possible to get some rewards.

But now that there is a loss in the house, and the jewelry of tens of thousands of taels of silver from Prince Mo's official and big maid has been robbed, it happened in Prince Mo's house, this kind of thing is easy to say.

Prince Mo and Leopard Lao were not in the mansion, and it happened at this time that the thieves entered the mansion, and the thieves did not flee empty-handed. What's the use of raising you rice buckets?!

Everyone was scared into a cold sweat. Dugu Mo's actions in the Jin Kingdom to destroy his relatives have been rumored by everyone. It's even a big plus of vinegar.

If he takes his temper out on the people...... Everyone shuddered.

"Catch the thief quickly!" the two guards shouted, and immediately led someone to chase him.

"Wait!" A family member snorted coldly: "Don't panic, there is a problem here!"

When everyone heard this, their feet suddenly froze.

The guard didn't know if it was Fu Ling's heart or if someone had already pointed him out in advance, but he was staring at the shiny pomegranate hair now. The jewelry, which was particularly dazzling in the candlelight, exclaimed, "What's that?"

Pomegranate was just frightened by the thief, and he said the wrong thing again, and he didn't react for a while. After touching his hand for a long time, cold sweat suddenly broke out, and he was even more paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up.

The golden jade phoenix hairpin was put on the head and forgot to take it off!

If it is ordinary jewelry, it will not be eye-catching at all, but the golden jade phoenix hairpin is a treasure worth 80,000 taels of silver, shining in the candlelight, and anyone will notice that the value is extraordinary.

Looking at the questioning family just now, Pomegranate vaguely remembered. He has accompanied himself and Zhou Zhiruo. One of several family members who went to the street to buy jewelry.

He had seen the golden jade phoenix hairpin and knew the value of this thing!

If this kind of thing was in Prince Mo's hand, no one would think much about it. But a maid is worn on her head, even if it is an official girl, but after all, she has been in the house for a very short time, and she has not been accepted by Prince Mo, how to explain where this thing came from?

Pomegranate was almost scared to tears.

I took the things of the eldest prince myself, but the master didn't know. And the value is huge, everyone will think that this means: eat inside and outside, inside and outside!

This is for the status of slaves such as maids. But a mortal sin!

As long as the maid and the family member committed this crime, and the master was caught with evidence, there was no need to send it to the official, and no one could question it even if he was killed on the spot.

"I, I...... This...... This ......," Pomegranate cried, covering her face.

If she changed the subject at this time, even if she said two prevaricating words strongly, she might be able to pass.

But she cried like this. Everyone felt that something was wrong.

The leader of the guards knew what was going on, and immediately ordered: "Leave the two of you to watch her, don't let her lose the incriminating evidence." Let's go after the thief!"

Pomegranate sat on the cold ground and cried, only to hear the commotion outside.

It seems that the thief's whereabouts have been revealed, and he is working with the guards in the palace.

"He's distracting us. Only a few family members were asked to find it. The rest of the brothers are following after me, don't let him run away!"

It was as if the thief had thrown something out, and the guards had arranged for people to find what they had left behind, and then went after the fleeing thief.

Pomegranate only felt chills all over her body.

What to do, what to do?

She was terrified. My mind was a mess, and I couldn't get any thoughts out of it.

The previous dreams of princes and concubines, and even becoming queens or something, all turned into floating clouds.

Prince Mo happened to invite the captain who was off duty to come to the mansion to drink.

The captain of the city patrol and his party got acquainted with Prince Mo because of the raid on the Huo family of Zonghengquan, and they were planning to come over for a reunion.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at Prince Mo's mansion, he heard that there was a thief in the mansion half an hour ago.

The affairs of thieves can also be under the jurisdiction of the captains of the patrol city, and they are naturally involved.

"I've only been away for less than a day, how can there be a thief? How can a thief be so bold and dare to break into my prince's mansion?" Prince Mo was furious and slapped the table with a bang: "You guards with five or six stars of Xuan Qi are all eating dry food? Let him come in and go around and escape?"

The guard on duty knelt on the ground.

Some guards tried to explain: "The thief is also a Xuan Qi level of no less than five stars. Moreover, the gentleman on the beam is good at thief skills, and he escapes at night far better than ordinary people, so I tried my best but failed to capture him. ”

Prince Mo glared: "Then according to your meaning, as long as there is a thief above five stars, I will have to let him run around in this mansion?!"

There were also guards who tried to find an excuse to justify or divert the pressure, and hurriedly said: "The master is angry, we found a strange thing in the arrest of the thief, maybe someone is a thief inside and outside!"

"What?"

"Master, please see, these are the three pieces of jewelry that the thief threw away in order to divert his attention when he fled in a hurry. The guard sweated and explained, "The villain has seen it, and it is worth a lot." In particular, a pair of jade bracelets seemed to have aura, and they were not broken when thrown out of thin air. I'm afraid that someone is a thief inside and outside, and let people steal these things. ”

Prince Mo looked at the three pieces of jewelry presented to him, picked them up and looked at them: "Jade bracelets, necklaces, earrings, where did these things come from? Have you seen the leopard?"

The leopard old next to him shook his head: "No, no." The old man doesn't hold it, and he hasn't seen it. Does Miss Zhou know?"

Wu Zhe stepped forward to take a look, and although his eyes lit up, he also shook his head.

The captain of the city patrol and a few of his men watched from the sidelines, and they were all surprised that something had come out of thin air.

"Tell my master, the maid pomegranate in your room has flickering words and different behaviors. On the bun, he even wore a golden jade and phoenix hairpin worth 80,000 taels......"

80,000 taels? The captain who patrols the city rubbed his teeth when he heard this. Prince Mo was willing to give such expensive jewelry to a maid?

But look at the girl named Zhou Zhiruo next to Prince Mo......

If the pomegranate is also so beautiful and charming, it is no wonder that Prince Mo is willing to give such a reward.

"What eighty thousand taels, where can a pomegranate have such a thing?" Prince Mo looked confused.

"Eighty thousand taels of golden jade phoenix hairpins?" Wu Zhe covered his lips in surprise and said, "Could it be that it was the last time I went shopping......"

"Miss Zhou has a good memory! It is the golden jade phoenix hairpin that was bought by a person dressed as a scholar in the Chu family's jewelry shop on the street last time. A man kneeling in the distance came out of the crowd, knelt forward and climbed a dozen steps forward, and shouted: "That golden jade and phoenix hairpin is worth 80,000 taels! But the little one doesn't understand, how can someone buy something and put it on the pomegranate girl's head?"

Although his words were an obvious intention to shirk responsibility, the onlookers who patrolled the city and his party felt a chill in their hearts.

Oh no!

They also realized that they were afraid that some pomegranate maid had a thief inside and outside.

Maybe the thief who escaped just now was not with this maid, but it is hard to guarantee that this maid had eaten inside and out before. Otherwise, how could the valuable jewelry that was bought by others get into her hands again?

"You're right?" Prince Mo's eyes widened.

Jia Ding said: "The little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the nine people in the same company have all witnessed it with their own eyes! And I heard Pomegranate himself say that he was robbed of jewelry worth tens of thousands by thieves!"

Prince Mo's face was gloomy: "What about the pomegranate?"

"She, she was crying in the cubicle. ”

Prince Mo said in a deep voice: "Come and see me!"

As soon as he heard these words, everyone knew that Prince Mo's heart was on fire.

The pomegranate was carried up by the collar and carried like a chicken.

"Kneel!" The guard who escorted her over was not angry at all, and kicked Pomegranate behind his knee, and immediately kicked him down.

In fact, even if she didn't kick it, she would be paralyzed by fright when she was brought over.

The pomegranates, who were already thieves, were stunned.

Everyone saw that the maid who was sitting on the ground had a very colorful hairpin in her bun.

The captain of the city patrol and his entourage stared at each other: This is the golden jade phoenix hairpin? That's right, the gold and jade, not to mention the handiwork, just the combination of gold and jade, plus the pearls and jade on it, the value of this jewelry will not be less than 10,000 taels!

Prince Mo asked the tray to be brought over for Pomegranate to see: "These jewelry, but yours?"

The pomegranate trembled and couldn't speak. She had already thought that she would be beaten as a thief inside and out.

"Speak quickly!" the leopard roared beside him.

In the past, Wu Zhe was there, and Pomegranate saw the old leopard's smiling appearance. I didn't expect to see the power of the Xuanwu Sage today.

Pomegranate shook violently and panicked: "Yes, no, no, yes......"

"Explain!" the leopard reprimanded.

Pomegranate cried to the ground: "Someone else sent me!"

Prince Mo asked, "Who sent you?!"

Pomegranate snapped into the idea that this was an opportunity to save her life. Relying on that person's identity, he may have a chance to live. If you don't talk about it, you are afraid that you will be killed on the spot and no one will cry for you, so you hurriedly shouted: "Yes, it's the eldest prince!" (to be continued......
