Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth treasure theft
The shadow cavalry guards gathered tightly together to protect the emperor. Mu Mu originally wanted to catch the guy who shot the cold arrow, but he was squeezed by this mess and couldn't find anything at all.
He was furious. There was definitely an insider among these people. Someone was deliberately here to help the guy who made the cold arrow muddy the waters so that he could have time to escape! But everyone here was making a lot of noise, and it was impossible to tell who it was.
True internal response!
When Ling Yiqu and Feng Ying came over, the situation had basically been calmed down. Mu Mu led the people around him to let everyone leave the venue in an orderly manner. Lin Chong frowned slightly as he saw Zheng Chenggong quickly submerged in the crowd.
"You two can handle this matter. I only want one result." Lin Chong only left this sentence and walked away. Ling Yiqu and Feng Ying both responded respectfully and understood.
I don’t know if I should say that misfortunes never come singly. Before the assassination case at the bidding meeting was clear, another major incident occurred in Nanjing City. Moreover, this incident was initiated by the Minister of the Ministry of War, who always acted very low-key.
It's not right to say that he is making trouble. Someone should stand up and speak out about this matter. A very powerful little thief has appeared in Nanjing. Not only is this kid very skilled, his eyes are also very poisonous. He specializes in picking on people in the capital.
Rich and wealthy families took action, and what they took away were often treasures given by the emperor, which really caused a headache for the ministers who had been stolen.
But they were worried that problems would arise if they told the story, so almost everyone chose to remain silent, except Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, who had always been tough-tempered.
Strictly speaking, his family didn't actually lose anything of value, but it would be wrong to say that what happened to their family was minor, because although their family didn't lose anything, one person died.
The person who died was a guard who was keeping watch at night. He must have discovered a burglary but had no time to notify others, so he died. Zhang Guowei even went to the entrance of Dali Temple to block Lingyi Canal, hoping to give him a deadline to solve the case. Lingyi Canal also allowed him to do so.
He really had no choice but to promise that he would find the real culprit as soon as possible.
Since Dali Temple was really short of manpower, Ling Yiqu asked a lot of people from the Criminal Department to come over and then divided the troops into two groups. On the one hand, he asked Guan Ying to lead the people from the Criminal Department to continue to track down the assassins. On the other hand, he wanted to find a way to investigate on his own.
This little thief appeared in the capital.
Although the government takes this matter very seriously, the people among the people are talking about it very much. There is no special reason. It is because this little thief specializes in picking corrupt officials who are unkind to get rich to steal.
No matter which dynasty it is in, everyone loves to hear about it.
Fortunately, after several investigations, they finally found some clues. Not to mention others, they just said that the family of the Minister of War invited an opera troupe to perform at home when Mrs. Zhang celebrated her seventieth birthday some time ago.
It is said that people rarely grow old in their seventies, and Zhang Guowei is a well-known filial son. There is nothing wrong with inviting an opera troupe to come to his home to sing for his mother. However, the problem is that when they went to learn from this opera troupe, a
The boy who was sweeping the floor said that some time ago, a boy who was sweeping the floor with him disappeared inexplicably in the past few days. It was probably during the few days when he went to Zhang's house to sing an opera.
"It seems we are going to visit Mrs. Zhang." Ling Yiqu patted his palms with the fan in his hand, and then knocked his stupid apprentice on the head: "Why are you still here?
If you don’t go quickly, you might be late and everyone will have disappeared.”
Although it was said that Zhang Guowei agreed and did not follow them in, it would be inappropriate to barge into someone's house without even saying hello. Ling Yiqu and Guan Qu still obediently waited outside before entering.
"Old madam, I don't know how well you are lately." Ling Yiqu nodded slightly, looking like a humble junior.
The old lady was much kinder and cuter than they thought. She looked at them with a smile, and then waved her hand: "Hurry up and sit down. You have come all the way here. You have spent a lot of money on these things."
Heart, let’s have some tea.”
The old lady was amused by Guan Qu and kept laughing: "You child is really good at talking. Tell me, what do you want to ask me, this old lady? As long as I can help, I will try my best. Guowei
I have been feeling uneasy because of this incident recently, so I still need you to solve the case as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, this is our duty. We eat the king and serve the king, so we naturally dare not not do our best. Today we want to ask the old lady something, about the child in the theater troupe before. I guess
The old lady should know better than us." Ling Yiqu stated his intention straight to the point.
The old lady thought for a moment and then ordered a girl next to her: "Ziyun, go and bring A Ming over, and tell him that I have something to do with him." The girl named Ziyun responded respectfully.
Then he retreated, presumably to take care of the kid named A Ming.
Ling Yiqu looked at the door and was silent for a while, but didn't say anything. They continued to chat with Mrs. Zhang for a while. But no one came back. Ling Yiqu asked the old lady in a strange tone: "
Are you saying that it was Ziyun, the girl next to you, who first discovered that this child was in such a pitiable situation? Then she was the one who suggested that the child should be kept in the house?"
The old lady nodded, but didn't understand what he meant. Ling Yiqu only said: "Does it take so long just to bring a child here?" Before the old lady had time to reply, he had already ran out on his own.
.
Zhang Guowei was still puzzled when he saw Ling Yiqu. It was strange that he came out very early! As a result, after Ling Yiqu came out, he asked him with all his face: "Did you just see Ziyun next to the old lady?"
Zhang Guowei nodded: "I just met her. She said she was going out to buy something. I also asked if I would like to send someone to go with her."
Ling Yiqu rubbed his temples with a headache: "Send someone to chase her back immediately. Don't ask me why. It makes sense for me to do this. Also, are you really sure you haven't lost anything here?"
?If you think about it carefully, is there anything very important that you just moved? Maybe it was true that you didn't lose it before, but you haven't confirmed it recently?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guowei's expression changed drastically: "If you say so, it really is the same. Come and take a look with me!"
