Six years later, the princess came back with three cubs

Chapter 78

Madam Mu showed shock, "Xi'er, what do you mean..."

A smirk appeared on Mu Xi's face, "Let's find a few people to loot those things, and then set fire to her house, so there will be no proof!"

In the middle of the night, the moon was covered by thick clouds, and the night was as thick as spilled ink.

A few black shadows quickly shuttled through the dark alley, and soon came to Mu's house, one after another jumped over the wall and jumped into the house like gourd babies.

The structure of the Mu residence is simple. Except for the back room and ear room where the servants live, there are only five main rooms in total. The group of people quickly found the warehouse where the belongings are stored, and found a large wooden box with the emblem of the Qin County Prince's Mansion printed on it.

"Quick, take all of these out."

Following the orders of the leader, several thieves acted quickly.

"No, boss, this box is very light."

Hearing this, the leader hurriedly opened one of the boxes, looked at it under the light of the torch, and was immediately stunned.

He quickly opened the other three boxes.

"Yeah, why are they all empty?"

"Boss, what should I do?"

Just as the leader was about to say something, the house suddenly burst into flames.

"There are thieves! Come quickly!"

The faces of the thieves in the warehouse changed drastically immediately, "No, I've been discovered, let's go!"

There were people outside the house, and several thieves were about to escape through the window, but they found that the window could not be opened no matter what.

If they were outside the window at this time, they would find that the entire window was nailed to death by a dozen willow sticks the thickness of a baby's arm.

With no hope of escaping, the leading thief turned around viciously, "Oh, let's fight them! We big men are afraid that we won't be able to fight those old and weak women and children."

"Listen to the boss, fight!"

Several people rushed out of the warehouse aggressively, and then they were dumbfounded.

The small courtyard was crowded with officials holding torches, each of them holding a saber, full of murderous aura.

The thieves dropped their weapons with a "bang" and were caught without a fight.

The housekeeper was heartbroken and reported the loss to the general who was in charge of tonight's post, "It's nothing else, they are all worthless items, that is, the four boxes of things sent by the Qin County Prince's Mansion are gone, and only four empty items are left. box."

"What's in the box?"

The butler immediately took out the prepared register.

In the middle of the day, I will turn it over, and the more I look, the more dignified my face becomes.

3000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, thirty bolts of brocade silk and satin, five pieces of jade, ten sets of glazed vessels, some calligraphy and paintings...

The steward whispered in Zhonghou's ear with a voice that only two people could hear: "Before Miss Mu entered the palace, she specifically confessed that the affairs of the house are up to the younger ones. Fortunately, the adults came in time tonight, otherwise these thieves would have run away long ago." .

The little one doesn't expect anything else, even if he can recover [-]% of the lost items, the little one can do business with Miss Mu. "

The housekeeper's words undoubtedly implied that if the dirt could be recovered, the Mu family would only need half of it.

In the middle of the day, he closed the account book with a "snap", turned his head and sternly ordered to his subordinates, "Torture those cowardly thieves and find out the whereabouts of the dirt!"

"Yes!"

-

Mufu, Ruexiangyuan.

"lady."

Hearing the voice outside the window, Mrs. Mu hurriedly got up and went to the window.

"How are things going?"

The person outside the window replied anxiously: "Those people were arrested by the lieutenant, Madam, please make up your mind quickly, in case they confess the young one..."

"To shut up!"

Mrs. Mu gave a soft drink, and then she said in a slow voice, "You go to the back door and wait for me first, I will give you some money, and you go out and hide for a few days."

"Hey, good."

After sending the people away, Madam Mu didn't turn on the lamp, she just dragged out a wooden box from under the bed in the dark, opened it, and inside was a set of night clothes.

Soon, a petite black shadow rushed out of the Ruexiang courtyard without making a sound.

At the back door of the Mu Mansion, several servants patrolled past with lanterns in hand. After the servants walked away, a figure emerged from the grass and looked around anxiously.

"Ma San."

Hearing someone calling him, Ma San turned his head subconsciously, and couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Mrs. Mu in black.

"You are……"

Mrs. Mu's voice was deliberately rough, and she covered her head and face. Not to mention Ma San couldn't recognize her, even if Mu Xi, her own daughter, was present.

"Madam told me to take you out of town, follow me."

Ma San hesitated, "That..."

Madam Mu under the mask smiled coldly, took out a silver ingot from her body and threw it over.

"Madam rewards you."

Ma San shook his head, his expression was very disappointed, "That's all?"

"Madam said, after the matter is over, I will help you find an easy and fat job."

Only then did Ma San put away the silver leaf, and happily followed Mrs. Mu out of the Mu residence.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Mu, Ma San left Fengjing City smoothly.

When she came to a remote ditch, Mrs. Mu stopped and turned to ask Ma San.

"No one else knows about this except you?"

Ma San shook his head quickly, "Reassure Madam, the younger one didn't tell anyone."

"That's good, you can go on your way with peace of mind."

Ma San didn't hear the implication, turned around happily and left.

After staring at Ma San's back for a moment, Mrs. Mu raised her hand, and a dart with a cold light flew out, hitting the back of Ma San's head.

Before he could even cry out, he fell to the ground.

Mrs. Mu stepped forward and pulled out the dart, wiped the blood and brains on Ma San's body, then raised her leg and kicked Ma San into the ditch.

Back at Mu Mansion, Mrs. Mu sneaked into Ma San's place again, packed all the other's clothes and took them back to Yunxiang Courtyard and burned them, creating the illusion that Ma San was absconding in fear of crime.

The thieves are bullying and fearing the hard, and they can't stand the torture of the court officer, but they vomited cleanly in one night, and they are accused of being bribed to go to Mu's house to steal. As for the lost property, the thieves asked San didn't know, but he drew a portrait of Ma San.

Early the next morning, Ma San's portrait was posted everywhere.

In the afternoon of that day, the people from Tingwei Supervisor came to the door with Ma San's portrait.

"Lord Mu, someone reported that this person is a servant of your Mu family. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Mu Yuanlin stared at the portrait, his heart pounding, but he didn't show his expression on the surface.

"There are quite a few servants in the prime minister's mansion, and they are changed from time to time. Not everyone can remember them all. If you want to find someone, just ask the housekeeper. Since the prime minister still has important matters to attend to, I won't accompany you."

"Master Mu, please help yourself."

Back in the study, Mu Yuanlin immediately ordered his servants to find Mrs. Mu.

"That Ma San, what's going on?"

At this point, Mrs. Mu had no choice but to tell the whole story about how she found someone to rob Mu Ning's house.

"Master, don't worry, I have sent that Ma San away, and the people in charge of Tingwei will not be able to find him."

Mu Yuanlin suppressed his anger, "Why didn't you come to me when you were short of money, the majestic prime minister's wife actually colluded with a bunch of thieves to rob the house, you really figured it out!"
