The night was thick, and the entire Anping Hou Mansion was very quiet, only a few lanterns were still hanging, and they were basically asleep.

A mother-in-law sneaked to the rockery on the edge of Yaoshui Pavilion, looked left and right, pinched her beak, and made a low birdsong sound.

Listened carefully and did not respond.

Touched to the depths of the rockery again, there was no one in the depths of the rockery, and the mother-in-law anxiously pinched her mouth and made a few bird calls, and then leaned on the side of the rockery to listen, but there was still nothing.

The mother-in-law was anxious to turn around, and turned around in place for a long time, making bird calls from time to time, but after all, she still didn't wait for anyone, and finally she could only leave in fear and go to the side door.

Open the side door, knocked lightly at the side door on the opposite side, the door opened, and there was also a mother-in-law on the opposite side, seeing the mother-in-law of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the mother-in-law on the opposite side asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"I didn't ...... No one. The mother-in-law of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion gasped.

"No one?" The mother-in-law of the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion was anxious, "How can there be no one, people must have entered your mansion." ”

"There's really no one, I've been there for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone, it can't be ...... Something happened, right? "The mother-in-law of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is also very anxious.

"If you go and see again, there must be people." The mother-in-law of the Marquis Mansion is in a hurry.

"I can't find anyone anymore." The mother-in-law of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was also very panicked, a big man disappeared so inexplicably, this is going to be an accident.

"If you can't find someone, you have to look for it again." The mother-in-law of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion said angrily.

The mother-in-law of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion turned around helplessly, and only took a step, and the mother-in-law of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion said, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

She didn't believe that this person was gone, she brought the person over at that time, and she hid it when she saw the person, isn't it that she hasn't succeeded yet?

The two side doors were covered, and the two mothers-in-law secretly went to Yaoshui Pavilion for a while.

Before they left, the guard appeared at the side door with the man, who had changed into a new set of black clothes and limped into the door of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion.

The guards followed silently, hiding in the darkness of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion.

The man entered the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, looked left and right, moved his legs, his legs and feet were very painful, but they were not broken, which reminded him of Fang Cai's beating, which was still light, and he almost died, so he thought about it, no longer pretending to be lame, and went to a small road in the middle, and along this road, he could go directly to Mrs. Yu's yard.

This was ordered before he came, and he will come back after the deed is done!

The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion is also very quiet, only occasionally a lantern is hung around the corner to illuminate it, and it is late at night, and everyone who should have slept has already slept.

Mrs. Yu's courtyard door was hidden, only there was a lamp under the corridor on the right side, and there was also a faint light in the main room, and the rest of the place was dark, so they should have already slept.

The man leaned against the corner of the courtyard gate and went into the darkness, stopping and squatting from time to time.

Finally arrived at the window of the main house, the window was hidden in the summer, pushed it open slightly, the man skillfully took out a tube from his arms, lit it, inserted it into the window, and then waited slowly......

Sure enough, not long after, hearing two heavy "plop" and "plop" inside, the man hurriedly shook off the cigarette in his hand, pushed open the window, dispersed the smell first, and then carefully held his breath to enter.

A mother-in-law, an old lady looks gorgeously dressed, this should be Mrs. Yu.

The man used to kick Mrs. Yu hard, it was this dead old woman who hurt herself, and she almost died, it was really just a little bit.

When he entered the back room, he rummaged through it directly, and when he saw the valuable, he directly packed it and put it away, as for the most valuable house deeds and title deeds, he threw them all over the ground, and he couldn't use them anyway. Each piece of paper was taken out and carefully examined, and finally a box was hidden in a box at the bottom of the dressing table, and a handful was pulled out, without a key.

Just as he was about to smash the lock, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, the man panicked, guessing that the mother-in-law from before had come back to report the news, and was busy holding the box and the money wrapped up before, pushing open the back window and jumping out and running out.

Turning the corner, I saw a mother-in-law in front of the door: "Mrs. Tai, the old slave is back." ”

He knew this mother-in-law, the one who coaxed him to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but now is not the time to come back with revenge, he has to do what the guards of the Qi Palace's Mansion say.

The main house didn't respond, and the mother-in-law raised her voice and said again.

There was still no sound, but the light in the main room was on, and the mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and said, "Mrs., the old slave has come in, is it okay?" ”

There was still no sound inside.

The mother-in-law already felt bad, hurriedly stretched out her hand to push the door open and entered, and then let out a sharp scream, the man took advantage of this time, ran out of the yard from the corner, and there was a noisy sound behind him, as if the whole courtyard was awakened all of a sudden, and someone was exclaiming: "Mrs. Tai has an accident." ”

"Call someone quickly and save Mrs. Tai."

"Save Mrs. Tai." One after another, the lights in the whole courtyard were lit up, and the maid and the mother-in-law rushed out of the bed one by one, rushing into the main house, and someone rushed out of the courtyard to report to the second master in the house......

The man just got out of the yard, and was grabbed by the guards who appeared in the dark, and ran to the back door with him, Mrs. Tai's place was already in a mess, the backyard door was still very peaceful, the door was bolted, the guard pulled out the bolt of the door, and threw two things from the man's package, and ran out with the man.

There was a carriage outside the door, and the two of them got into the carriage together, and the carriage turned a corner, went out of the alley, and disappeared into the night......

Zhengyuan Marquis's Mansion was robbed, the thief not only stole a lot of gold and silver property from Mrs. Yu, but also knocked Mrs. Yu unconscious to the ground, it is said that Mrs. Yu is still fainting on the bed, whether she can wake up is not certain, Yu Zhongyang went to the Yamen early the next morning to report the case, saying that he had lost many precious things, and issued a document.

The dignified expedition to the Marquis Mansion actually made a thief, and he also let this thief touch Mrs. Yu's residence and injured Mrs. Yu, if it wasn't for the thief, it wouldn't be justified.

The biggest possibility is that the people in the house and the people outside the house colluded, so they did such things unconsciously, how could this thief be so capable, whose courtyard wall is not high, how did the thief get in? If it is mixed in with an internal thief, this internal thief is not ordinary......

The family in the capital is all in danger, such a powerful thief, if he patronizes his own house, will he be the same as the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion? Fortunately, there is a Mrs. Yu in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and there is no girl who has not been out of the cabinet.

This matter doesn't sound as big as the matter of Zhengyuan Hou Shizi, but when you think about it, it makes the inner courtyard of the Beijing family creepy, this may be a major matter of the relationship is your own family, and the pain is painful, who dares not to care.

Jing Zhaoyin personally brought people to the door to investigate the case, and the first person who went to see it was Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu woke up, and lay on the bed, the whole person was weak, as if she was going to run out of breath in the next moment, and when she saw her son leading Jing Zhaoyin over, her eyes immediately turned red: "Lord Xiang, you ...... must be the master of the old body, must find this thief, and cut him with a thousand knives. ”

"Mrs. Tai, don't worry, can you tell me what happened first?" Xiang sat down in the chair and took out the document to prepare the record.

"The old man is old, and it is difficult to sleep at night, so he talks with the mother-in-law next to him, and after talking for a while, he feels dizzy, and then ...... I fainted and woke up again...... It was this mother-in-law who woke him up. Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand and pointed to a mother-in-law standing in front of the bed, "Fortunately, she found out, otherwise the old body ...... This life is gone. ”

The old man fainted to death on the ground, and no one paid attention to it, but he would have to lose his life.

Xiang nodded understandingly, and looked at the mother-in-law beside the bed.

The mother-in-law stepped forward and saluted.

"Did you find Mrs. Yu fainting on the ground?" After looking the woman up and down a few times, he asked.

"It was the slave maid who found that Mrs. Tai fainted, the slave and maid had something to report to Mrs. Tai, asked a few words before entering the door, Mrs. Tai was silent, the slave and maid opened the door in a panic, and saw Mrs. Tai fall to the ground, the slave and maid hurriedly shouted, many people got up to help Mrs. Tai into it, and saw that the back room was in chaos, and there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the ground, and some land deeds, house deeds and other things, which were thrown all over the ground."

The mother-in-law said in a panic.

"What's missing?" Xiang asked the adult who looked at his mother-in-law quietly.

"All the gold and silver jewelry in Mrs. Tai's hand is lost, and I don't know how this thief has such a big ability, Mrs. Tai's good things can be found, I beg the adults to find this thief, and I must not let him escape." The mother-in-law stomped her foot hatefully.

Nodding to the adult, he asked Yu Zhongyang again, "Are there any other abnormalities found in the mansion?" Are there any thefts in other yards? Have you ever lost anything again? ”

"There is no loss of anything anywhere else in the house, the back door is open, and the mother-in-law who guards the back door in the morning gets up and finds that the bolt of the back door is thrown on the ground, and the back door is wide open, and the thief should have left through the back door, but how did he find the back door all at once?" Yu Zhongyang's airway.

When he went to the back door to look, there was no human figure, and he found a gold earring and a golden hairpin at the back door, and the people who served his mother recognized that this was his mother's thing.

Xiang listened to Yu Zhongyang's words, nodded while listening, and waited for Yu Zhongyang to finish speaking, before he said with a straight face: "The most important question now is where did this thief enter your mansion, and it is also the inner courtyard, from the front door to the inner courtyard, so far away, and there are several circles, how did he find Mrs. Yu's courtyard?" ”

"This ...... Did someone show him the way? Yu Zhongyang guessed angrily.

"In this way, the subordinates in the entire mansion are suspicious, especially the mother-in-law and maid ring in the inner courtyard, if it is the subordinates of the outer courtyard, they may not be so familiar with the inner courtyard." Nodding to the adult, "I'll first ask people to check the people in your mansion and the entry and exit yesterday, and then sort out suspicious people for careful interrogation." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yu Zhongyang bowed his hand to express his gratitude.

"Let me make sure, I don't think you'll come in through the back door, will you?" Xiang asked the adult again, and looked up at the high courtyard wall, this is not a place that can be entered if you want to

"It can't be the back door, but ......" Yu Zhongyang hesitated, obviously there was something to say.
