Mo Ruxue shrugged, put the roast duck on the table, walked out of the room, and walked towards the study with his hands behind his back.

Xia He has been paying attention to the movement here, she has long felt that there is something wrong with the food box in this Fumanlou, but it has not appeared for so long, and she has not had the opportunity to investigate.

When he saw Mo Ruxue coming out of the house without a long time, he quietly followed her.

Who knew that her every move had already been clearly seen by Mingyue and White Frost!

Mo Ruxue came to the study, closed the door, took out the letter in her arms, and after reading it, the whole person was not good!

The shopkeeper of a jewelry store embezzled a large amount of money and absconded, leaving his wife and children in Kyoto, and he didn't know where to hide.

It's getting late outside, so let's go see it tomorrow!

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Ruxue changed into men's clothes and put on a hat, and was ready to go out.

Glancing at the bright moon and white frost on the roof, the two of them immediately understood and quietly followed behind her.

Xia He walked out from the corner of the corridor, his eyes were cold, it seemed that Mo Ruxue still had a secret.

Fuman Building.

Mo Ruxue asked the shopkeeper Liu to summon the bookkeeper and the steward of the jewelry store to question.

The steward was a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly chubby, and his eyes were bright.

The bookkeeper of the jewelry store was a fine old man in his fifties, with a frightened look on his face.

Shopkeeper Liu gave them a color, and they hurriedly saluted Mo Ruxue: "The villain has seen the owner! ”

It was the first time they had met the owner, and they had only heard of it before, but they didn't expect it to be such a young offspring.

Mo Ruxue sat upright, with the bright moon and white frost standing beside her.

Mo Ruxue deliberately changed her voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on with this payment? Doesn't it stipulate that selling goods can only be traded in the store, why did you give such a large amount of money to Zhou Xiangdong?"

"It was the shopkeeper Zhou who forged the handwritten letter signed by Ouyang Da Boss, and it was also stamped with the seal of the owner. The bookkeeper hurriedly took out the handwritten book from his bosom.

Mo Ruxue took it over and took a closer look, the handwriting was indeed very similar, and even she thought it was written by Ouyang Xun herself.

"And how did you find out again?"

The steward bowed and replied, "According to the time, the shopkeeper Zhou should have come back yesterday, but he did not come back." ”

Niu Er, who accompanied him, Zhang San and others came back first, saying that Shopkeeper Zhou and them had gone separately at the beginning. ”

"With so much silver on his body, but he deliberately broke away from his entourage, he must have fled with money!"

Mo Ruxue looked at the steward and asked, "Have you reported to the official?"

"It's been reported to the official, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is already chasing Zhou Xiangdong. ”

"When something like this happens, there is nothing more painful than his family. Where are his wife and children now?" Mo Ruxue tapped on the table and asked casually.

The steward quickly replied, "They still live on Nanfu Street." The villain was about to ask the proprietor if this account was credited to their mother and son?"

The steward secretly glanced at Mo Ruxue as he spoke, but his vision was blocked by Mo Ruxue's hat.

Mo Ruxue: "Don't worry, isn't this still catching Zhou Xiangdong? ”

"Yes, the villain obeys. ”

"Go back first, and I'll look for you when there's something." ”

The two of them stepped back.

Mo Ruxue glanced at the shopkeeper Liu: "The shopkeeper should also step down first! I will go to this box to sit down first." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. ”

Only Mo Ruxue, the bright moon, and hoarfrost were left in the room.

Mo Ruxue picked up the teacup and took a sip: "You all sit down and have a cup of tea!" Follow me, there are not so many rules, don't be too restrictive." ”

"Thank you, Princess! ”

Bai Shuang stood by the window and looked out, looked back for a while, and said to Mo Ruxue: "Princess, your personal maid Xia He has been following you since you left the study, she is now at the door of the restaurant, do you want to arrest her?"

"Xia He?" Mo Ruxue said in surprise, could this be the second pothos?

The pothos is so strong in martial arts, Xia He really has nothing to show off, which second goods is she a fine work?

White Frost continued: "She has been secretly observing the princess, and she does not know what she wants to do. ”

Mo Ruxue pondered for a moment: "Don't worry about it first, you keep an eye on her, I want to see who she is." ”

"Yes!"

Mo Ruxue took the two of them out, she deliberately glanced at the door, Xia He was hiding behind the pillar opposite, and the pink skirt corners were exposed.

Mo Ruxue couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, this spy is too unprofessional.

They crutches, and it didn't take much effort to shake off the little tails behind them.

When I came to Nanfu Street, I knew where Zhou Xiangdong's home was after a little inquiry.

The government has come to search and arrest several times, and Zhou Xiangdong's matter is well known among the neighbors.

The gray wooden door was closed, and Mingyue knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Instead, the neighbor next door opened. A woman in her thirties came out and looked kind: "The three of you are here to find Zhou Xiangdong, right?"

Mo Ruxue stepped forward with a smile: "I am an old friend of the shopkeeper Zhou, who took the liberty to visit today, it seems that it is not the right time to come, and their family has gone to relatives, right?"

"Well, you don't have to come to them anymore. Zhou Xiangdong rolled a few thousand taels of silver in the shop and fled, leaving the orphans and widows at home. ”

"In the past few days, the officers and soldiers have come to search and arrest several times, and the guys in the shop have also come to make trouble frequently, and they can't stay anymore, so they have all gone back to the countryside. ”

Mo Ruxue couldn't help but wonder: "The guys from the store are also here to make trouble?"

Why hadn't she heard of this?

"But no, I heard that he swept away all the wages of other people's workers, and there is no money in the shop to operate, and it is about to be unbearable. ”

The woman spoke with a nose and eyes, as if she had experienced it herself.

"That's okay, thank you sister for informing me, otherwise I'll have to run for nothing tomorrow!"

Mo Ruxue left with Mingyue and White Frost.

They came to the jewelry store, which was deserted, and a guy was napping in front of the counter.

Mo Ruxue knocked on the counter, woke up the guy, and said with a smile: "Please call your steward out, I have something to do with him." ”

The guy glanced at her and said impatiently, "Steward Song is not here! If there is something to do, go to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to find him!"

"Has he gone to the Yamen?" Little brother, how long has it been since you were paid?"

When the guy heard Mo Ruxue ask like this, he looked at her seriously and asked carefully, "Are you the master of Ouyang?"

Mo Ruxue nodded noncommittally.

The guy stood up excitedly, his eyes red: "Master Ouyang, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

"Our salary was originally paid once every three months, but finally it expired in three months, and something like this happened in the shop!"

"Steward Song said, when the case is solved, the money is recovered, and when will the salary be paid. Isn't that pushing us to a dead end, you say?"

I see, that's why they went to Zhou Xiangdong's house to make trouble!

Mo Ruxue said to Mingyue: "Go to the yamen and call Steward Song back, just say I'm waiting for him." ”
