After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 93 Thief

"Tell me about it." Helian Jingxi said calmly.

Since Miao Lin's death, he sent people to investigate the matter secretly.

Unexpectedly, the person behind the scenes had extremely vicious thoughts, and even cast his bad thoughts on Chunhua.

On the day of the banquet, the imperial sister's personal maid was poisoned and fell into coma in full view of the public. How could he sit idly by and watch.

So he immediately sent more manpower to secretly investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.

There must be a certain aristocratic family contributing to this.

But it doesn't matter. If any aristocratic family dares to set their sights on the imperial sister, he will not escape death even if he has wings.

"After some investigation, I found the family of the female chef who cooked," the guard reported. "They recently received a large sum of money and quickly left Xuefeng Country."

"Where have they gone?" Helian Jingxi asked.

"According to the registration at the border, he probably went to Qifeng Country." the guard replied.

Qifeng Country was the birthplace of the poison that Chunhua and Miao Lin were poisoned by.

It seems that they are indeed colluding with Qifeng Country.

Being able to get Qifeng's poison and send relevant witnesses to Qifeng Country, he must have a good relationship with Qifeng people.

"Continue checking." Helian Jingxi ordered.

"Yes." The guard cupped his fists and said.

Helian Jingxi motioned for him to step back, and the guard retreated to the door absentmindedly, and added:

"During my investigation, I heard from some servants that after the banquet the day before Miss Chunhua was poisoned, when she and the maids were cleaning up the mess, they had communicated with Miss Xu Xu Yanruo. I wonder if it was related to this matter."

Helian Jingxi nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

Xu Yanruo, he had an impression of this person.

It was the person from the Xu family whose property was confiscated.

If it weren't for the imperial sister's persuasion, he probably wouldn't have kept this person.

From this point of view, I need to pay more attention to her in the future.

At the same time, on the corner of the street.

"Brother, how can I sell this long sword?"

Fang Yueling looked at the long sword with a cold light in front of her, her eyes shining with excitement.

The blade of this sword is as thin as a cicada's wing, glowing with cold light, and the hilt is inlaid with magnificent rubies, exuding nobility and magnificence.

The scabbard on the other side is also inlaid with several rubies and engraved with various patterns, making it look rich and majestic.

It looked like a good sword at first glance, something that Fang Yueling once didn't even dare to take a second look at.

But it's different now. She already has enough money after selling the Fu family's treasures.

"Little sister, this long sword costs thirty taels of silver," the stall owner replied with a smile when he saw that the visitor was a child, "but you are too young, so you need to bring your parents to buy it."

Normally, Xuefeng Country does not allow vendors to sell weapons.

But he didn't care.

After all, this long sword is just a decoration without an edge. His shop's main business is swords and spikes. How can it be used as a decoration without a long sword? .

Now he was attracted by a little sister. He didn't want to sell it, so he had to politely refuse.

"But I don't have parents." Fang Yueling's eyes were disappointed.

Her mother sold her to the Fu family, and from that moment on, she was an orphan.

"Thief, catch the thief!"

Suddenly, a man yelled from behind, followed by the sound of him roaring and running towards this side. Fang Yueling knew without turning around that the voice belonged to the owner of the pawn shop just now.

And the other party’s target is himself!

She panicked, took out the silver ingot from her pocket, stuffed it into the stall owner's hand, and ran away quickly to the other side with the long sword in hand.

"Hey, wait a minute!" The stall owner looked helplessly at the silver ingot in his hand, then looked at Fang Yueling who had already run away, and could only stamp his feet on the spot.

Not long after, the pawn shop owner caught up and was stopped by the stall owner: "Brother, do you think there is any misunderstanding? She is obviously just a child."

"What kid?"

The boss glared at the stall owner, looking at Fang Yueling who had already run out of his sight, and had to give up: "You know people, but you don't know the heart. Don't be deceived by her appearance. That guy is a habitual thief."

Seeing his angry look, the stall owner couldn't help but feel a little funny: "How do you say that?"

Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, the boss patted his forehead and analyzed him in detail:

"I am the owner of a pawn shop, and this guy often comes to my shop to pawn some valuable jewelry."

"Her clothes were always in tatters before. Looking at her appearance, I could guess what her condition was. But out of pity, I didn't care about her before."

"But today she went too far. She actually pawned the death-free gold medal given to General Fu by the late emperor."

"I didn't pay much attention at first. It wasn't until she left that I noticed a line of small words on the gold medal. I hurriedly chased after her, but you stopped me."

"Oh, that's really annoying."

The boss sighed helplessly, so he shook his head and prepared to leave: "I'll report it to the official right away."

He had stolen something given by the late emperor and pawned it. If the emperor found out about it, as the owner of the pawn shop, he would probably die. It would be better to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Hey brother, don't be impulsive." The stall owner stopped him again.

"Are you annoyed?" After being stopped twice in a row, the boss's patience was almost at zero. "You have to stop me when I'm chasing someone. You have to stop me when I report someone to the police. Are you done with it?"

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry." The stall owner paused, "I don't know if she is a thief, but I often do business on the street, and I have seen her and the eldest princess walking together. "

The boss was undoubtedly shocked when he heard this sentence. It took him a long time to react: "His Royal Highness...the eldest princess?"

"Well," the stall owner nodded solemnly, "I suggest you just send the gold medal back to Fu's house, and make big things as small as possible."

"This..." The boss still wanted to hesitate, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that this was indeed the case.

After all, it was something lost by the Fu family, so it seemed most reasonable to send it back directly to the family.

Thinking of this, he agreed, the two had a brief exchange, and the boss left.

As for Fang Yueling on the other side, she held the scabbard and long sword all the way, and turned several turns to make sure no one caught up, and then gradually stopped.

She looked at the long sword in her hand and inserted it into the scabbard without putting it down - she had just run in such a hurry that she didn't even care about it.

In this way, she followed the route in her memory and walked towards Fu Mansion.

Along the way, she was carefully observing the patterns on the scabbard, until she reached the door and noticed the "uninvited guest" at the door.

"Thief! It's her!" The boss pointed at Fang Yueling and shouted.

Next to him was Fu Yanping, who had just returned home and looked confused.

It only took him half a day to recruit the bandits from Bianyun Mountain. After instructing Liu Ma to train them and enforce strict military discipline, he left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw the pawnshop owner who came to return the death-free gold medal.

He was quite confused at first, but it wasn't until Fang Yueling appeared that he gradually understood what was going on.

"No...not me!"

Fang Yueling hurriedly hid the long sword behind her back, her face full of panic.
