Chapter 118: The Night Thief (Part II)
The second more
……
I don't know who the people are outside, where they are hiding, they rashly turn on the lights, and immediately become ready-made targets.
In an instant, Chunlan also thought about it.
She trembled for a long time before she stabilized her mind, groped her way to the bed, found Zhao Qing's clothes and waited to put them on.
Seeing the figure shaking outside the window, everyone trembled in fright and protected Zhao Qing in the corner.
Holding a silver hairpin tightly in his hand, Zhao Qing was in a calm mood.
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
If it really came at her, even if there were more people in front of her, it was useless, and it was not enough for people to cut her......
While he was thinking about it, there was a sound of messy footsteps in the corridor.
Then there was a sharp knock on the door.
The air in the bedroom immediately tensed.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all held their breath and didn't dare to speak.
The knock on the door became more and more urgent, and when she saw Zhao Qing open her mouth to ask, Xia Zhu covered her mouth and asked boldly, "Who?" ”
"It's me!" As soon as the anxious voice sounded, "The third grandmother wasn't scared, right?" ”
"It's Mother Wu!" Xiangtong exclaimed, a faint excitement in her voice.
Mother Wu can come over, it should be fine outside.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A little maid opened the door tremblingly.
Mother Wu, Sister-in-law Liu, Sister-in-law Luo, and other seven or eight mothers-in-law were picking lanterns and standing outside the door.
Seeing that Zhao Qing was safe and sound, Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "...... The third grandmother is fine. It's okay! ”
Only then did everyone light the lamp.
“…… What's going on? Zhao Qingzhuan got off the ground, sat down at the small table of the Eight Immortals with a secret carving of mahogany, and took the warm boiled water handed by Xia Zhu. After drinking a small half cup, he asked.
Mother Wu's face turned pale, "Today, it is the turn of Mother Niu to patrol the night, and I found that the study was lit up, knowing that the third grandmother likes to read, I just thought that the little maid forgot to turn it off when she took the book, and I was afraid that no one would go out of the water in the study in the middle of the night." Just as he was about to go out, he saw a figure shaking in the window of the study from a distance, so he opened his mouth and asked who...... I waited for a long time and no one answered. Mother Niu walked over with a lantern, and as soon as she arrived at the door, two black-clothed people burst out of the study, and Mother Niu only had time to shout for help. I was stabbed ......"
Mother Niu was actually stabbed?
All the maids are all discolored.
Chunlan asked tremblingly. "How's Mother Niu?"
Mother Wu shook her head, "When the slave went, Mother Niu was already dying, and she had already hired a doctor, so I was afraid that she would not survive." ”
"Ah......h
There has never been a moment when I feel that death is so close to me, and I am not afraid of the sky and the earth. Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel a kind of despair in his heart.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Coming back to his senses, Zhao Qingqiang asked calmly. “…… What happened? ”
“…… I'm afraid that they came to the third grandmother, but they just went to the wrong house, for fear of leading them to you again, the slave didn't dare to come rashly, until the nursing home came, and the slave had the courage to come and see you. ”
"Caught somebody?" Zhao Qing asked.
Mother Wu shook her head, "...... I heard from the little guy in the outer courtyard that he had run over the wall, and we had a nursing home to chase him out. ”
Zhao Qing sighed softly, speechless.
There was some silence in the room.
The little maid came in with Liang Health, the head of the outer courtyard, and Fengtianchao, the head of the nursing home.
"The slave is not well cared for, which makes the third grandmother frightened." Fengtian Dynasty respectfully gave Zhao Qing a salute.
Liang Jianxing looked proud.
"That thief has been driven away by the Fenghu Hospital, and I asked the third grandmother to count it first, what did you lose?"
Fengtian Chao personally brought two tall guards to guard outside Lijing Pavilion, and everyone also settled down, leaving only Xia Zhu and Wu's mother to accompany Liang Jianxing to stay in the hall, and Chunlan took everyone to take inventory.
On weekdays, there are registers, and these people are personally in charge, and the inventory is very fast, but the inventory is completed in more than half an hour, and nothing is lost.
“…… Only the third master's study was turned into a mess! Chunlan held a stack of pamphlets and replied to Zhao Qing and Liang Jianxian, her tone very confused.
Zhao Qing was also puzzled.
She looked at Fengtian Chao and asked. “…… Did they really come in from outside the house? ”
Although it is not as good as those century-old families with a background to raise a group of secret guards, the Shen family is also a family of ancient towns, not only the walls are higher than the average family, and the walls are suddenly ironclad, but the courtyards are also hired by Shen Huaiyu from the rivers and lakes, although they are not as good as the secret guards of the family, they can be a hundred times stronger than the secret guards of ordinary large families.
It's not easy to send in.
took such a big risk to break in, not for gold, not for silver, but to turn the study upside down.
What are they looking for?
This couldn't help but remind Zhao Qing of the missing Pearl Pond title deed.
These days, there have been rumors outside that there are big names who have taken a fancy to the Shen family's pearl Tan and want to buy it at a high price.
"When the minions chased people out, they found traces of flying eagle claws outside the south wall closest to Lijing Pavilion, and there were also small servants in the outer courtyard who saw a figure climb out of the south wall, and when the minions chased them out of the house, there were no figures on the street......" Fengtian Chao said his tracking process in great detail, and said, "The minions guessed that they should have come in from outside the house." ”
Is that really the case?
Zhao Qing looked at him quietly.
Fengtian looks at the nose with the eyes, the nose looks at the mouth, and stands in the center of the earth without squinting.
There is a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness in his straight eyes.
After staring for a long time, Zhao Qing didn't notice Ni Duan, and he couldn't help but be even more confused.
Isn't it the eldest lady who is desperate and secretly comes to find the title deed of Pearl Pond?
And who sent it?
Risking death to sneak into the Shen Mansion, what are they looking for?
Liang Jianxing's eyes flashed with contempt.
"Since the third grandmother has nothing to lose here, then the slave will go back to the eldest lady first." After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Qing to respond, he had already raised his feet and walked towards the door, Feng Chaotian hesitated slightly, saluted Zhao Qing respectfully, and raised his heel.
"Are you sure it's really someone from outside the house?" Straight out of the gate of the outer courtyard of Lijing Pavilion, Liang Xian Jian stopped, he suddenly turned around, and his eyes were aggressive.
"It must be." Seeing Liang Jianxing's strange expression, he subconsciously asked, "......What does Manager Liang mean?"
Liang turned around and continued to walk forward.
Heavy leather shoes creaked in the snow.
Fengtian Chao was about to ask, when he heard a cold snort from the cold wind: "There are no thieves, and you can't attract foreign ghosts!" ”
If there is no house thief, you can't attract ghosts?
Fengtian Chao blinked, even more puzzled.
What did he mean by that?
Who is the house thief and who is the outer ghost?
Before asking, Liang Jianxing had already walked away, and Fengtian Chao hurriedly raised his heels.
The eldest lady was already waiting in the hall in full dress, and after listening to Liang Health's reply, she also frowned, "...... They didn't steal anything, so what are they doing here? (To be continued......)
