Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin heard every word of their conversation. Su Luoxue walked around the clinic again. It was exactly the same as when she was there. Everyone was working hard to do their job. When she and Xuan Moyin completed their plan, she would come back to reward everyone and give everyone the salary they deserved.

But they can't show up now.

The two of them walked around and left Jishengtang. An Yi had been waiting outside. When he saw the prince and his companions come out, he followed them from a distance.

Su Luoxue asked Xuan Moyin if he wanted to go back to the palace to take a look. When they passed by the Regent's Palace, they found several suspicious vendors diagonally opposite the palace gate.

Why do I say that? The vendors always take a sneak peek at the gate of the palace intentionally or unintentionally. Which business owner would always pay attention to the gate of other people's palaces?

The gates of the prince's mansion were also tightly closed, with only a few servants occasionally going in and out through the side door. It seemed that Uncle Fu had always remembered the prince's words to keep a low profile.

It seems that Xuan Haotian has been sending people to keep an eye on the Regent's Palace, always paying attention to whether Xuan Moyin has returned.

Xuan Moyin twitched his thin lips, smiled faintly, and said to Su Luoxue: "Let's go."

Su Luoxue naturally understood what he meant, and the two of them walked past the people in charge of monitoring the palace, just like the passers-by who came and went past the palace.

You are asked to keep an eye on the palace every day, and now even if Xuan Moyin passed by you, you still wouldn’t recognize him.

……

After a few days, the capital city was in turmoil and people were in panic.

For some unknown reason, the storehouses in the homes of important officials in the court were robbed every day. No matter how many more people were sent to guard them, they would still be robbed. What was strange was that all the robbed storehouses had no signs of having their locks pried open. The keys to the storehouses were all hanging there, but once the storehouses were opened, they were completely turned upside down.

Lord Pei has been receiving so many reports of this kind these days that he is tired of them. He has a vague feeling that the cases these days and the theft case in the warehouse of Prime Minister Su's residence more than a year ago were committed by the same person.

Because the techniques are so similar, you can even say they are exactly the same.

There will be no traces or clues left at the scene of the theft, and the warehouse will definitely be emptied.

At the same time, Lord Pei carefully looked at the residences of the officials who came to report the case and found that these people were all ministers who were promoted after the prince ascended the throne. It can be said that they were all confidants of the current emperor.

Lord Pei thought of the recent rumors that the former Crown Princess, the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Qingrou, was still haunting and came to find the Emperor. It was said that the Emperor even fell ill because of this.

Lord Pei always had a feeling that the recent events in the capital, inside and outside the palace, must be related, but he didn't know what the connection was yet. However, he was secretly delighted that someone was dealing with these officials who bullied men and women.

This morning, in the court.

Because Xuan Haotian was frightened and fell ill and has not recovered yet, the Duke and the Prime Minister are still in charge of the court.

"Duke, you must catch the thief and recover the stolen silver." said one person.

"Yes, Duke, Prime Minister, this family is barely able to make ends meet." Another official said.

The Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were the first to be robbed, and now they themselves don't know what to do?

"Everyone has reported it to the Jingzhao Prefecture. I believe that the detectives of the Jingzhao Prefecture will help everyone recover the stolen silver." The Duke was also having a headache and could only say this.

"The thief didn't leave any trace, how can we investigate? Some people have more money, so it doesn't matter if they get robbed, but my whole family really can't make ends meet." Someone complained.

"Whose family do you say has more money? Don't you have enough money in your house? You have twelve concubines in your backyard! You still don't have enough money?" As soon as the official finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.

"I have twelve concubines, but I heard that you even spared no maids in your mansion? Hahaha." The man said immediately.

"Whose mansion did you say didn't let the maids go?"

"Whoever I'm talking to knows the answer. If it's not you, don't worry!"

"Try saying that again!"

"Just give it a try. Who's afraid of you? Do you dare to hit me?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the person on the opposite side rushed over and hit him with the tablet in his hand.

The other party was not to be outdone and raised the tablet in his hand high up and smashed it down at the other party.

Seeing that the two men were about to fight, other officials standing beside them went over to stop them.

"Don't pull me, I must fight him."

"Just do it. Whoever is afraid is a grandson."

Neither side gave in, and the court suddenly became lively. The neutral officials standing in the last few rows watched coldly, not helping anyone, and just stood back and watched them fight each other.

"That's enough. What a disgrace!" The Duke of Guo looked at the scene and shouted angrily, "You are all high-ranking officials in the court. Look at you. What a disgrace. Do you think this court is a market?"

Seeing that the Duke was so angry, the two people who were quarreling stopped and tidied their messy clothes and hair. Although they were still very dissatisfied with each other, they still stood in the team.

The Duke looked at the two adults who had just fought with a look of disappointment on his face. He also found that the officials whose homes had been robbed recently were all the emperor's trusted ministers, while those officials whose homes were still safe were just looking at them as if they were watching a show.

The Duke suddenly had a feeling, could it be... and the Emperor hasn't recovered yet from the shock, isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?

But, feelings are feelings alone, and we still have to solve the current problem.

The Duke discussed with the Prime Minister and adjourned the court session, leaving only the Grand Marshal, the Secretary of State and others.

"Did you notice anything wrong?" The Duke said after everyone else left.

"What the Duke means is..." the Shangshu asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Didn't you notice that the people whose storehouses were robbed recently were all our people?" The Duke thought about it and said.

Several people looked at each other. It was true. Could it be...

"Duke, do you mean that someone is deliberately targeting us?" The Prime Minister also reacted and asked.

"Think about it, how could the emperor suddenly fall ill due to the surprise, and our house was suddenly robbed? Isn't it too much of a coincidence?" the Grand Tutor continued.

"But, Lord Duke, who could it be? Who has the ability to steal so many things from your warehouse?" The general also asked, as the warehouse in his house was also robbed.

Yes, who could it be? Who could come and go freely in the heavily guarded palace without making any noise?

Could they empty the warehouses of the lords' houses without anyone noticing? These were all too impossible, especially the second one. No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible. I'm afraid only the gods in heaven could do it.
