The snow had lastly stopped, however the temperature had dropped even additional. At evening, the moonlight was like a wash. It was extraordinarily chilly, to the purpose that your entire capital was frozen right into a thick layer of ice.
The Duke Chu Mansion was so quiet. Lastly, a voice broke the silence.
“Oh no, the warehouse has been robbed!”
Duke Chu’s warehouse had been robbed? What was the purpose of this? Who cares concerning the chilly climate in the midst of the evening?
The whole residence was shaken. Chu Ming Jing introduced Lin Xuan and Huang Guangming to the warehouse.
Wanting on the empty storage room, everybody current had an unsightly expression on their faces.
“What is going on on? When did you discover it? ” Chu Ming coldly appeared on the full lock on the warehouse door. It was so full, how did this thief enter?
“As a result of final evening, earlier than the housekeeper went to sleep, he got here to tell me that this morning, the First Spouse goes to comply with the Duke into the palace and let me put together a present for the First Spouse to enter the palace. I simply bought up early to open the warehouse. ” The newly appointed head of the warehouse guards knelt on the bottom and replied with a trembling physique.
If this whole warehouse was robbed, even when they killed him, they would not be capable of afford it.
“This place hasn’t been touched?” Chu Mingjing’s gaze fell on the top of the guards and the three folks behind him.
The manor’s safety had all the time been so strict, and this warehouse had all the time been behind his courtyard. Who might steal it with out anybody noticing? Apart from the truth that many of the issues within the warehouse have been items for his birthday, the remaining have been treasures he had collected from the border. The issues within the warehouse did not transfer, so why did it transfer like this?
“He did not transfer. Ever since that day when Housekeeper Lin loaded all of the items into the warehouse, the warehouse by no means opened once more.” The guard chief was so scared that he nearly peed his pants.
“Lin Xuan, I am going to go away this matter to you.” Chu Mingjing appeared on the head of the guards and gave an order.
“Sure.”
Chu Mingjing glanced on the folks in entrance of the warehouse earlier than leaving …
What occurred within the entrance courtyard, Chu Moxi didn’t know. At this second, she was nonetheless cultivating in her room. Seeing Shang Chen’s response, Chu Moxi’s temper was elated. She was getting ready to interrupt by to a seventh grade Religious Grasp.
Proper now, the non secular power was surrounding her, however Lian’er’s voice interrupted her, “Boss, the warehouse within the mansion has been robbed. Proper now, Common Lin needs everybody within the mansion to collect on the entrance courtyard.” Lian’er’s tone was considerably hurried. It was doubtless that Common Lin had despatched somebody to hurry her.
“Proper.” Chu Moxi stopped her cultivation and stood up with a chilly smile on her face. She was lastly keen to shake it out? First Madam, can you actually bear it?
In fact, Chu Moxi admired the First Madam much more. After discovering out that the warehouse had been robbed, she nonetheless had the heart to cover it, leaving a means for her to flee.
One needed to say, the third spouse was nonetheless missing a bit compared to the primary spouse.
When Chu Moxi left, apart from Lian’er, there have been two different guards ready for her within the courtyard.
“What’s mistaken with Lian’er?” Why are all of the guards within the courtyard? ” Chu Moxi’s eyes have been hazy as she leaned towards the door of the room together with her eyes half-opened.
“Boss, the warehouse has been robbed. The upper-ups have despatched everybody to collect on the entrance courtyard to help within the investigation.” If you happen to put on it like this, you higher watch out of catching a chilly. ” Lian’er pulled Chu Moxi’s hand in the direction of the room and helped her placed on her thick cotton garments.
When the 2 guards noticed Chu Moxi and Lian’er enter the room, they did not urge them and as a substitute waited within the courtyard.
After Lian’er had become thick winter garments for Chu Moxi, they adopted the 2 guards to the entrance courtyard.
At this second, the entrance yard was filled with folks, nearly everybody had been dug up from their sleep. The chilly wind blew in by the door, and nearly everybody shivered.
Chu Mo Xi and Lian’er discovered a distant place to face and swept their eyes over the folks round them. Lin Xuan stood on the very entrance of the corridor along with his guards. The whole corridor was surrounded by guards, and everybody in Duke Chu’s mansion was there, together with the servants and masters.
Even the Nice Spouse and Chu Mu, who had been grounded, came to visit.
“I consider everybody has heard about what occurred within the manor. The Duke has already given his full authority to me to deal with, so do not take into consideration something.” As he mentioned this, his gaze swept throughout everybody’s faces. Discovering a thief in Duke Chu’s mansion was like discovering a needle in a haystack.
When everybody heard what Jin Xuan mentioned, all of them shrank again their necks.
Lin Xin appeared to be glad with everybody’s response, however he did not transfer, as if he was ready for one thing.
“At the moment, squads of guards got here in and lined up in entrance of him, reporting their receipt one after the other.” Common, no! “
As he listened to the stories under, his face grew uglier and uglier. He had ordered the guards to go looking each room and yard, however they did not discover any loot?
“Search fastidiously once more, regardless of the place you look, you aren’t allowed to depart it out!” With a touch of anger in his tone, the guards instantly adopted his orders and went to go looking.
Everybody checked out her with perturbed expressions. Nobody seen that Eldest Madam’s expression truly was certainly one of complacency. Naturally, the wrongdoer, Chu Moxi, was at present leaning towards Lian’er as she coldly watched. In fact, she was additionally taking note of the positions and factions that these folks have been standing in.
It was unknown how a lot time had handed, however the guards nonetheless returned empty-handed. On the identical time, Xuan Fang fully exploded. “Summon all of the guards within the warehouse.”
After Lin Xuan mentioned this, the third spouse’s expression instantly modified.
Did she not perceive what that ‘Lin Xuan’ meant? This meant that the particular person suspected was certainly one of her folks! If there was an issue, his folks would have reported it way back. That meant the warehouse would have been stolen earlier than his folks might take over!
The third spouse’s gaze shifted to the primary spouse. The delight within the first spouse’s eyes was one thing the third spouse didn’t miss. In different phrases, she may need been fooled by the primary spouse. Ling Shan’s fingernails dug into her mushy pores and skin, and he or she appeared on the First Spouse with hatred.
The guards from the 4 warehouses have been instantly escorted up. Lin Xuan’s gaze fell on them and he did not say something. He waved his proper hand and eight guards got here out to suppress the 4 guards.
Communicate, beneath whose orders are you? Is there a connection? “Name me in rapidly and truthfully.
“Common, we’re wrongly accused! We have solely acquired this warehouse for lower than half a month, and we did not even know that there was one thing inside. ” The chief knelt on the bottom, on the verge of tears.
They have been all groomed by the third spouse, and it wasn’t simple for them to get somebody to switch the primary spouse. They’d no concept that the storehouse could be stolen earlier than the storehouse was even came upon. What sort of sin was this! Why was he so unfortunate?
“I do not suppose you will cry till you see the coffin!” Lin Xuan’s expression turned chilly. With a wave of his proper hand, 4 guards appeared out of nowhere. All of them had navy whips of their fingers and unceremoniously whipped the 4 guards on their backs.
