Chapter 338: The Woman Was Robbed
And the problem lies in this lax care.
On that day, Li Mao and Chen Mu's guards left the temporary residence and went to the market to search for suitable materials to improve the textile equipment.
Inadvertently, Li Mao met a woman.
The woman was born in a noble family, her appearance was extraordinary, and she was very knowledgeable, and after meeting Li Mao, the two had a chance to chat a few words.
Li Mao immediately introduced her as a bosom friend, and even invited the woman into his mansion.
Because the Ye family didn't take this matter seriously, he didn't send anyone to keep an eye on the woman.
And after the woman followed Li Mao into the mansion, the woman also got the opportunity to explore the textile instruments researched by Li Mao.
When she learned that this textile device could really spin cloth, and the speed at which it was spun was extremely fast, the woman immediately moved her mind.
"When we noticed that something was wrong, we checked the identity of the woman, but before we could find out the identity of the woman, Li Mao was framed and imprisoned."
"The person who framed him was the woman's clansman, and after Li Mao was framed and imprisoned, the textile equipment he placed in his mansion was smashed, and the drawings were stolen."
"After the Lord of the Ye family learned about this, he was furious, and after a careful investigation, he suspected that the woman was involved, and after telling us about this matter, we also asked the people in the capital to investigate as soon as possible, and soon found out the truth of the matter."
"The matter is really related to the woman, the textile equipment was smashed by the woman, and the drawings were stolen by the woman."
"Because Li Mao was interested in the woman, when he took out the drawings of the textile equipment to show the woman several times, he didn't pay attention to cover his movements, and the woman noticed where the textile drawings were hidden."
The matter has been clarified, and Chen Mu's manpower left in Beijing is extremely fast, and he immediately sent news to Chen Mu.
And Chen Mu also nodded expressionlessly after hearing the guards explain what happened.
is so bold that he dares to covet the textile equipment he fancies.
"How was Li Mao framed and imprisoned?"
It is not clear what is written in the letter.
Chen Mu opened his mouth to ask, and the guard also opened his mouth when he heard Chen Mu say this.
"It means that Li Mao stole his own things, and the woman threw a priceless jade pendant in Li Mao's mansion, because Li Mao was interested in the woman, when the woman he saw left the jade pendant in his mansion, he didn't take it to heart."
"As a result, a few days later, he heard that the woman had reported to the official, saying that her jade pendant had been lost, and then another official rushed into the mansion where he lived and searched for the jade pendant, and after that, Li Mao was naturally sent to the dungeon."
"Because there is another family behind that woman, Lord Ye wants to take Li Mao out of the dungeon, it is not so easy, after all, the jade pendant was also found from Li Mao's mansion."
"We are investigating the evidence that the woman and the two jade are worthy of staying in Li Mao's mansion, thinking that Li Mao is exonerated and will take Li Mao out of the dungeon, and the Ye family has already raised eyebrows, and will soon be able to bring Li Mao out of the mansion."
"It's just that about the textile equipment and the drawings, we have investigated the current location of the drawings, but we haven't had time to bring out a few drawings yet."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what should we do next? Do you want to directly arrest the woman and the family behind the woman, or do you collect evidence first, wait until later, and wait and see what happens? ”
Chen Mu frowned when he heard the guards say this.
He understood what the guards meant, and the reason why the subordinates in the capital did not immediately take action against those people in the family after finding out the whereabouts of the drawings was because there was insufficient evidence to support their actions.
It was just a theft of the drawings, and if the people of the great family pushed the woman out and made her take the blame, those people would have escaped this catastrophe in this matter.
It's just that the woman stole the drawings not because of her own will, but definitely because someone from the family was behind it.
Chen Mu could see at a glance what ideas those people were up, and most of them could see that the textile equipment researched by Li Mao could really replace the textile craftsmen, so he was in a hurry, and asked people to smash the textile equipment and take the drawings away.
I thought that this would prevent the textile equipment from being promoted to the market in the future.
Since this is a person from a big family who is planning and arranging it behind his back......
Chen Mu's gaze froze slightly, and a cold color appeared on his face.
"Check, immediately investigate those big families, they can come up with such a way to frame Li Mao, they must have done such a thing before."
"When you catch the other handles, you will end the big family in a nest!"
The reason why Jingzhong did not take action against the people of the family after sending the letter was because he did not get Chen Mu's order to investigate thoroughly.
Now that the order has been given, the guards also nod their heads.
Now that he has made up his mind, Chen Mu is going back to the inn, and he has to ask someone to send a letter to the capital to arrange the affairs of the capital.
Chen Mu stood up in the front hall, Meng Qing noticed Chen Mu's movements, looked up in Chen Mu's direction, Chen Mu saw this, and spoke.
"I have to go back, but the daily expenses of this women's protection office are not yet settled, you are here to help me keep an eye on it first, and I will rush back as soon as I go back and draw up the letter."
Hearing Chen Mu say this, Meng Qing was stunned, and then immediately nodded and responded.
Seeing this, Chen Mu did not delay, he immediately turned around and left.
After returning to the inn, I arranged the next matters.
"Let the Ye family speed up their actions and find out what is related to the big family as soon as possible, in addition, release Li Mao as soon as possible, as long as you find out the feet of the big family, you can think of releasing Li Mao."
When the guards heard this, they immediately responded.
The guard took the letter and was about to turn around and leave, when Chen Mu suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Chen Mu was stunned, and responded to the peace, and the person outside the door pushed the door open, and before he could speak, he knelt in front of Chen Mu first.
Chen Mu frowned and looked in the direction of the guard, the guard's face was full of nervousness, and there was still cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Mu saw this, he was inexplicably uneasy, and the guard he heard spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, ...... Something bad happened, someone attacked the Women's Protection Office and robbed the people in the Women's Protection Office! ”
"It's not just the women who have been divorced, but also the female officials, and the ...... And ......"
When the guard said this, his face became more and more ugly, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that broke out from his forehead, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.
As soon as Chen Mu saw the appearance of the guard, he understood the meaning of the guard.
It's not just women and officials in the women's protection offices.
And Meng Qing.
Meng Qing was also robbed!
