Chapter 42

While Aunt Rong was secretly planning, Xia Keyu had already learned about it from Fan Yin:
"The woman went secretly to distribute a key. One of her elder brothers seemed to have been unclean before. Recently, he has been in close contact with two former bandits. I don't know what to do."

One of Aunt Rong's older brothers was in a small business, and the other was a bandit. No wonder Fan Shuyao looked down on Aunt Rong's background.

Xia Keyu laughed lightly, and said, "Cousin, what else can I do, most likely I'm thinking about the things in the Xia family's warehouse."

Immediately continued: "By the way, cousin, I have to trouble you to send someone to find out how much money Aunt Rong and her two elder brothers have deposited in the bank outside, and know their details."

"It's easy to handle."

Fan Yin agreed immediately, and then asked: "What is my cousin going to do?"

Xia Keyu looked outside calmly, took a sip of tea, knocked on the table calmly and said:
"The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. The next thing to do is to follow the plan."

Immediately, he signaled Fan Yin to come over and whispered about his plan.

"Okay, just listen to my cousin." Fan Yin immediately clapped his hands and applauded.As expected of the members of their Fan family, they are smart.

Xia Keyu continued to choose houses in an orderly manner as usual.

The news came from the people in the palace that Xia Keyu's county lord's house is not far from Duke Chu's mansion, and the two families are separated by a street.

Xia Keyu knew that Duke Chu's people must have contributed secretly, that's why she, a little county lord, was able to live on the same street as the first-class duke.

However, Xia Keyu felt very safe living next to the thigh she wanted to hug.

After a few days, people from the Fan family reported that there seemed to be some movement from Aunt Rong's family. The two bandits lived next to the inn not far from Xia's house, and one of Aunt Rong's elder brothers also showed up.

Xia Keyu calmly waited for those two people to make a move, and once they made a move, she could fish in troubled waters.

That night, Fan Yin was not at ease, so he took a sword and guarded Xia Keyu's room, for fear that the bandit would have some evil intentions towards his cousin.

Xia Keyu, on the other hand, was extremely calm, sleeping in the back room as usual, not forgetting to tell: "Cousin, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

It can be seen that Fan Yin admires this cousin's mentality very much.

That day, apart from Fan Yin, only Aunt Rong was left without falling asleep.For fear of things going wrong, she didn't even tell her own daughter.

After all, the Xia family is just an ordinary family of petty officials, and there is only one old man who looks around at night.

After the old man left, Aunt Rong quietly got up in the middle of the night when there was no one there, and secretly opened the back door of Xia's house, then went back and pretended to sleep.

The two thieves entered Xia's house and went straight to the storeroom, with the key in hand, they naturally took away all the silver and jewels in the Xia's storehouse without any effort.

All this went extremely smoothly, and both of them secretly rejoiced in their hearts, as expected, they had an internal response to do things.

Unexpectedly, just after the two left Xia's house, they bumped into several people head-on.

After all, the two had been thieves for a long time, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong. Just as they wanted to escape, they were pushed down to the ground by several people, who took most of the gold, silver and jewels they had stolen.

Then they were released.

This made the two of them a little puzzled. How to look at this matter, how did it reveal strangeness.Where there were people who blocked the road halfway, they were released again.

The two walked a few more steps just now, and met a group of Jinwu Guards who were in charge of patrolling the capital.

"Who dares to show up after the curfew!" The left and right patrolmen of the Jinwu Guard saw the two sneaking around, and quickly ordered them to be arrested.

After a search, gold, silver and jewelry were found from the two of them, and the stolen goods were seized. The two were directly thrown into the prison and interrogated overnight.

The two felt that their points were too memorized for a moment, so they hurriedly opened their mouths and explained everything in detail.

Including how Aunt Rong of the Xia family opened the door for them, and Aunt Rong's elder brother, nicknamed Hua Baozi, was still waiting for the two of them to go back in the inn room.

Hua Baozi thought that this time he could get a lot of money, so he waited anxiously at the inn, fearing that the two of them would not keep their promises and steal the treasure all by themselves.

I didn't expect that I waited and waited, but what I waited for was someone from the yamen.

Naturally, there is no such a coincidence in the matter. Behind this matter is Xia Keyu's handwriting.

She asked the Fan family to stay on the path that the two of them must pass in advance, and when the two of them appeared, they took away all the gold, silver and jewelry from the big head.

Then let Fan Yin find the Jin Wuwei in advance.

The Fan family has been an official for many years, and more than half of the military officials in Beijing have contacts with the Fan family, so the Jinwu Guard is naturally willing to help.

What Aunt Rong was eyeing was the money in the Xia family's treasury, and coincidentally, she was also eyeing this money.

Just like that, when the sky was getting light, the Xia family was still asleep when they were woken up by the knock on the gate.

Aunt Rong didn't sleep at first, when she heard the knock on the door outside, her heart skipped a beat, she had a bad thought.

After much hesitation, she quickly dressed and got up, took out a black pill from the locked box, broke it in half, and swallowed it quickly.

This is the pill that Dr. Liu left for her before, and it is also the thing for her to save her life.

Xia Fengyuan was woken up by his servants. Hearing that there were soldiers in armor outside, he almost fainted. Could it be that he, the Minister of Rites who just arrived, did it so easily?
Xia Fengyuan put on his clothes tremblingly, got up tremblingly and walked outside.

Xia Keyu and Fan Yin had already got up and were standing in the yard.

"Ke Yu, what the hell is going on?"

Xia Fengyuan's face was pale, and he asked worriedly. At this time, he realized that this eldest daughter had become his backbone invisibly.

Xia Keyu glanced at Xia Fengyuan lightly, despising this spineless man in his heart, and said calmly:

"Father, don't worry, it's not a bad thing if you think about it, otherwise, the people at the door would have broken in. Besides, father, don't forget, I'm still the county lord."

"Father, why don't you go to the door and ask what's going on?"

Having said that, Xia Fengyuan's rationality, which had been frightened away, finally came back a bit, and he became more courageous at the moment, so he walked forward with his chest raised and his head raised.

"Come on, open the door."

The Jinwu Guard outside was riding on a horse, and when he saw the door of Xia's house opened, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Hello Xia Shilang~"

The left and right Jinwu guards are all officials of the third rank, and they are at the same level as Xia Fengyuan.

Xia Fengyuan was relieved when he heard this person's tone was gentle, he didn't seem to be here to arrest him.

Jin Wuwei bent down and bowed his knees slightly to Xia Keyu who was behind him, saying: "I have seen the Lord Yong'an~"

The county head is equivalent to the official position of the second rank. In any case, the etiquette must be passable.

Xia Keyu walked out immediately and asked, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to the county lord, the Xia family was stolen. We caught two thieves. We didn't dare to delay, so we came here to inquire."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xia family was shocked.

Only Xia Keyu and Fan Yin, who had expected it for a long time, were calm in their hearts, but they also pretended to be surprised on their faces: "How could it be?!"
