Chapter 42 Will be counted
It was night, and everything was silent. In the bamboo branch garden, Xia Mengning had fallen asleep, and Zhulian and Jiuer had also rested. Under the moonlight, the two shadows quietly moved quickly and quickly flashed from the gravel path to the bamboo branch garden.
One of them held a slender tubular object in his hand and quietly pried open the door of the bamboo branch garden. The two quietly turned over and entered without any sound.
Entering the garden, the two quickly looked at each other. During the day, they had already inquired which room the girl lived in, so they decided to let go, and one person went in and rob the girl out.
A person quickly came to the door, quietly opened the door and walked in. The ** in the inner room was lying on a person's stomach. The visitor's face was happy. The girl was right, so she quietly stepped forward and reached out her hand to stun **.
Originally, it was a steady move, but the ** man suddenly opened his eyes and quickly grabbed her arm. With so much force, he pulled one of her arms out.
"Aren't you Jiu'er?" People exclaimed.
Wu Qing sat up from **, wearing clothes worn in the daytime, took silk cloth from the side and stuffed it into the mother-in-law's mouth.
In the bamboo branch garden, the lamp was quickly lit. Zhulian and Jiuer were dressed neatly. Xia Mengning sat on the top and drank the tea in her hand and said, "Who sent you here?"
The arm of the woman who was kneeling on the ground had been pulled off, and she was in severe pain. At present, she just whined and couldn't speak.
"Miss, the other one has run away."
Xia Mengning looked and said, "Nothing, if she doesn't run away, how can she attract the people behind her? Wu Qing, you tied her, Zhulian and Jiuer, you go to Yong'antang and Rongfutang, and tell your father and grandmother about this quickly. Remember, the more you make a big noise, the better."
The two took the order, and Xia Mengning said, "Where is the housekeeper?"
Wu Qing said, "Miss San, don't worry, I have already told him to get ready. Now, he has sent people to guard all the exits of the house. It's absolutely impossible for a fly to fly out."
Hearing the words, the woman kneeling on the ground was shocked. When she looked up at Xia Mengning, who was on the top, there was a little more fear in her eyes. It turned out that this third lady had already known.
"That's good. You take her with you. Let's go to Yong'an Hall."
After saying that, Xia Mengning took a coat from the small couch and hurriedly put it on, but her hair was uncombed, and her head was covered with blue silk.
Zhulian and Jiu'er were both clever. In a quarter of an hour, the whole Prime Minister's mansion was lit up. Xia Mengning and Wu Qing entered Yong'an Hall together. Xia Chuanyuan was obviously asleep and asked with a tired face, "What's the noise?"
As soon as the words fell, Xie was also helped by the maid. Xia Mengning saw that both of them had arrived. Tears suddenly fell down and fell to the ground with a plop, "Please help my daughter."
Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and was even more puzzled. Xie Shi here looked impatient, "What's the matter? Is there such a big movement at night?"
Xia Mengning cried. Zhulian came forward and said, "The old lady and the master, our young lady was scared. Just now, a woman broke into the third lady's room and scared the third lady. Fortunately, Wu Qing hadn't slept yet. He heard the sound and saved the third lady, otherwise..."
After hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but get angry, "Who, which woman, bring her up."
Wu Qing kicked the woman, and the woman rolled in front of Xia Chuanyuan. Xia Chuanyuan looked carefully and asked, "Which garden are you? Why did you go to Miss San's room at night?"
Wu Qing next to her took off the silk cloth from her mouth. The woman finally got a chance to speak, so she hurriedly said, "I don't have a maidservant. I'm just a treasure given by the emperor. I want to steal it, but I don't want to harm the third lady."
This woman is very clever. Xia Mengning thought that it was much easier to steal than to kill people. Thinking of this, she took a look at Wu Qing. Seeing the other party nod, Xia Mengning hurriedly shook her head at Xia Chuanyuan: "Dad, no, my daughter saw with her own eyes holding a dagger in her hand. She was coming to murder. Daughter."
Wu Qing inadvertently pushed the woman, and a dagger fell out of the woman's sleeve.
Seeing that it was really a dagger, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but look angry: "What a bold man, who let you murder Miss San?"
The woman was extremely surprised. She had never brought a dagger on her body. Where did the dagger come from? But in an instant, the woman understood what had happened. It must have been done by the third lady next to her.
"No, I didn't, I didn't want to kill Miss San."
At this time, Fang Shi also came in with Liu's mother's hand. Xia Mengning smiled and was really all here. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning hurriedly said, "Dad, my daughter was afraid just now and didn't look carefully. Now I look carefully, but I have never seen this person."
As soon as Xia Chuanyuan heard this, his face immediately became confused. He looked carefully and said to the little man beside him, "Go and call the housekeeper in."
The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's mansion is a middle-aged man. His surname is Li Mingyan. He has worked in the Prime Minister's mansion for dozens of years and has won the trust of Xia Chuanyuan. His wife also works in the kitchen of the house. However, the previous things in the backyard were managed by the Fang family. Although his husband was the housekeeper, he refused to be with the Fang family, so he His wife is just doing chores in the kitchen.
Although Li Yan and his wife are not very rich, they are also dependent on each other. There is no messy concubine and aunt. They have only one son, who is still young, and he is also the son of Li Yan. Li Yan valuishes it very much. Unfortunately, this son is congenitally insufficient and has been ill for a long time since he is born.
When Xia Mengning learned about this situation, she personally prepared medicine for Wu Qing to send it. Sure enough, his son only took a few pills, and his health improved greatly. Li Yan was very grateful to Xia Mengning. He used to find many famous doctors, but they couldn't cure his son's illness. Now the third lady in this house has cured himself after taking a few pills. His own son, Li Yan, is naturally admiring. This time, Xia Mengning asked him for help. Of course, he worked hard.
Li Yan came in and first leaned down to salute: "The little one has met the old lady and the old lady."
"Don't be polite. Come and see, this woman is from the house?" When Xia Chuanyuan saw that Li Yan was coming, his tone slowed down a little. After all, it was a master-servant relationship for decades.
"Yes!" Li Yan walked to the woman, looked carefully a few times, and replied respectfully, "In the words of the master, I have never seen this woman."
"What?!" Xia Chuanyuan was shocked. The woman took a dagger to assassinate Ning'er. He thought it was someone in the house, but the woman was not from the house. That means that she is the person outside. Who is it? Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan asked, "Don't tell the truth. Who sent you? If you don't say it, I will tie you to Yingtianfu. The official there and I have a lot of friendship. I will tell him to treat you well."
The threat made the woman sweat coldly. She was sent by the general to help his sister, that is, the prime minister's wife. Originally, she thought it was an easy thing. The other party was just a milky yellow-haired girl, but the lazy but bright eyes she had just touched had already made her Knowing this is much more difficult than expected.
Fang looked at the mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground and beat her heart. This woman was sent by her brother. Her martial arts skills were quite powerful. How could she be caught like this? Just thinking about it, Xia Mengning said, "Dad, I don't think this woman will be so honest. When Wu Qing caught the mother-in-law, she saw the yard. There is another woman who is going to let go. For a while, she doesn't know where she has gone. Why doesn't Dad send someone to search immediately now? The woman and this woman are in the same group, and the hiding place must be the place they know well. Where to find it, you can know how they sneaked into the house.
Xia Chuanyuan heard this and thought it was feasible, so he said to Li Yan, "Take people to the house and search all the gardens. If you find a suspicious person, tie them up immediately."
Li Yan took the order. Xia Mengning hurriedly said, "Dad, Wu Qing has seen that woman. It's better to let Wu Qing go together to help."
Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "Okay, you can go together."
Everyone walked out of the room. Fang pinched the palm of his hand and gave Liu's mother a look behind him. Liu's mother immediately nodded understandingly and was ready to go out quietly.
"Does my mother still have a headache?" Xia Mengning turned her head, looked at Fang Shi and asked with a smile, "Ning'er added trouble to her mother yesterday. I hope my mother will forgive Ning'er."
Liu's mother was about to go out when she was scared back by this sentence. Xia Chuanyuan saw it and asked, "Where are you going? Do you know this woman?"
Mother Liu knelt down on the ground in fear and kowtowed, "No, no, no, sir, I don't know her."
Fang was anxious, but he didn't need any effort. He just prayed, hoping that another woman would not be found.
Things didn't go so well. Before Fang finished praying, Wu Qing and Li Yan here came back, followed by a few concubins. After Wu Qing came in, he kicked the person behind him, and the man was kicked into the middle of the room.
Xia Chuanyuan saw clearly that she was really a woman who knew how to punch and foot. She couldn't help saying angrily, "Say, who sent you all?"
Li Yan, who was beside him, said, "Sir, this thief was found in Mrs. Yilan Garden. When she went down, she was hiding behind the screen in the lady's room. Fortunately, Miss Wu's sharp eyes caught her."
"Yilan Garden?" Xia Chuanyuan meditated. Fang was afraid that he was a little unsteady. Such successive blows had made her physically and mentally exhausted. My brother originally said that this matter must be foolproof, but why was everything going well?
Xia Chuanyuan looked at Fang and asked sternly, "How do you think this man ran into your room?"
Fang shook his head quickly and couldn't even say anything.
Xie Shi sat at the top and was really disappointed with this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. She only had a harmful heart, but she did not have the ability to plan. However, Na Xier was like her mother. Although she was beautiful, she was not a material for a big weapon.
As for Ning'er, Xie looked at Xia Mengning, who was standing on the side. She was too angry and not a good person to think about. If she was entrusted with heavy responsibilities, it would be difficult to control. Xie thought for a moment, there were only four girls in this house. Except for Xi'er and Ning'er, the rest were You'er and Ran'er. You'er was straightforward and a little small. He is smart but not enough to be a big weapon. However, Xie turned his eyes and turned his eyes. He was quiet and didn't talk much at ordinary days, but he was a smart child.
In such a short time, Xie has thought about a lot of things.
