The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

After letting Lu He unlock the door, Xiao Yun directly asked the two guards: "Has anyone else been here in the past two days?"

These two guards were brought by the original body from the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion. This place should have been guarded by the prince's confidants. Since Chu Hongyi hadn't even returned from getting married, Marquis Pingxi was even more embarrassed to arrange for other people to come, so everything was decided by the original body.

One of the two men was named Lin Guangzhen and the other named Chen Jiang. Their grandfathers or fathers were soldiers under the old Marquis of Zhenbei, who was also the grandfather of the original body. After retiring due to injuries or old age, they stayed in the Marquis of Zhenbei’s mansion to serve and gradually became house children.

Chen Jiang shook his head and said, "Madam, we have been on duty during the day this month, and we have not seen anyone other than those in the courtyard come here."

The other Lin Guangzhen said, "Miss, is there anything missing or damaged? Three nights ago, I heard Li Youcai from next door talking to himself, saying that there were so many rats these past two days that even wild cats came over."

Lu He looked at Xiao Yun and saw her nod, then she said: "It's not damaged, it's that the good herbs in the warehouse were replaced by someone, and now there are only ordinary herbs in it, the value difference is huge."

Lin Guangzhen and Chen Jiang were shocked. This was no small matter. The warehouse was guarded by four of them. Now that something went wrong, they would be the first to bear the brunt of the responsibility.

The two of them knelt on the ground together, saying: "It is our fault, please punish us, young lady!"

Xiao Yun shook his head. "That's not necessary. I don't doubt you, but this matter must be investigated thoroughly. This matter can be big or small. It's okay if it's just replaced with ordinary medicinal materials. At most, you will lose some money. But what if the other party poisoned it?"

The two men lowered their heads even more. Just now, Lin Guangzhen was wondering if it was a mouse or a wild cat who did the bad thing. If the medicinal materials were knocked over by mice, then although they were also derelict in their duty, it was understandable.

This is man-made, which is troublesome. No matter how the other party did it, it was done when they were on duty. What's more, the hypothesis Xiao Yun mentioned is also very likely to happen, so they cannot escape blame.

Seeing that they knew the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Yun continued, "I know that you all learned some skills when you were in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I'll leave this matter to you. Investigate it carefully. If you find out, not only will I not blame you for dereliction of duty, but I will also reward you."

The two bowed to her and said, "Yes, we will do our best!"

Xiao Yun nodded and walked straight into the warehouse to take a look. She knew from her original body's memory that Lin Guangzhen had extraordinary hearing and good skills, and was a talented person.

Fortunately, the original owner brought it here from her mother's home. It would have been a pity if it was someone from the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion.

I will definitely take talents like this with me when I leave. I can train them well in the future and they may be of great use.

At this time, Hongling and Luhe had already opened the windows on both sides, and Lin Guangzhen and the others also looked around, but they didn't see anything for a while.

Xiao Yun asked two maids to check whether the boxes containing valuables had been touched by anyone.

At this time, Chen Jiang came over and bowed to her and said, "Miss, there are scratches on the latch of the east window, which must have been pried open by a dagger or something. There is also a piece of dust that was wiped off under the window, which must have been rubbed when someone jumped in."

Lin Guangzhen also came over and replied: "There is no problem with the west window, but there is a rat hole in the corner below. It must be filled in time. If rats get into the warehouse, they may destroy the items inside."

"Miss, the antiques, cloths, calligraphy and paintings have not been moved. Only the herbs on the shelf closest to the window have been replaced. Also, the pot of pearls next to the shelf seems to have lost some pearls. Before, they were one inch away from the mouth of the pot, but now they are one and a half inches."

Lu He walked up to Xiao Yun and whispered that she was usually responsible for these things and would check them almost every two days, so she was more clear about them.

Xiao Yun nodded. The things placed here were things that were not often used. The truly top-quality jewelry and the like were all in the secret compartment under her bed in her bedroom. Almost all women from wealthy families had such secret compartments, which were used to store valuable or personal items.

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Take your men and search the servants' rooms in our yard first to see if you can find anything. If you find anything, take the person under control and bring him here tomorrow. Just say it was my order. There's no need to make a big fuss."

"Yes."

The two agreed again.

The servants who signed the death contract can be directly arrested and interrogated.

They all followed here from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. We cannot kill them at will. We need evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others.

If you can find something, you will be punished. If you can't find anything, just give some reward or compensation. Don't make it public so that no one else will know and you won't lose face.

Xiao Yun was also worried that the person who replaced the medicinal materials was not taking the risk for money, but was bribed or was someone else's spy. Having such a person around is always a hidden danger, so it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible.

If someone had already gotten the news and found out that there really was a treasure map in her dowry, it would be very easy for the person who bribed her to take action.

Of course, she also came to see if she could find the treasure map.

Next, Xiao Yun and Lu He roughly compared the things, mainly those left by her original mother, and those given to her by her maternal grandparents as dowry.

Those things had never been touched. Even though he had given many things to the three women in the mansion over the past three years, they were all common things, mostly from his own shops, or dowries purchased by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, which were all easy to buy in the market.

Her dowry consisted of not only what her original mother left behind, but also the betrothal gift given by the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion, which she also brought back.

The Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion added a few dowries, but that was all in accordance with regulations and could be purchased at any time.

She felt that if there was a treasure map, it couldn't be inside those things. After all, they were all things that could be bought on the market. How could something so important be hidden in there?

It is possible that those were left by my biological mother and given by my maternal grandfather later. Many of them were spoils of war of my maternal grandfather. Almost every piece is a fine product, with everything available.

It was impossible to search everything, so Xiao Yun could only rely on his experience from movies and TV shows, and focus on finding some calligraphy and paintings, and boxes containing gold, silver, and jewelry ornaments. Those were all spoils of war that his grandfather had brought back from the battlefield, and they were not bought casually on the market.

Xiao Yun was too lazy to look for everything one by one, so he just rummaged through some boxes and smaller boxes to see if there were any interlayers. Of course, he also looked at the medicinal herbs that had been touched.

Although she thought it was possible that the herbs were exchanged to sell for money, since the other party had taken it, she couldn't help but take a look. What if, especially those in boxes, what if the box had a layer of interlayer?

She carefully looked at several boxes containing precious medicinal materials, but did not find any interlayer. She knocked on them calmly and even secretly measured the thickness of the wooden board, but still found nothing.

Gradually the sky darkened. It should be almost seven o'clock now, so she asked Hongling and Luhe to hold the scrolls of calligraphy and paintings and prepare to go back to the room to take a closer look. It would take too much time to look at them in this warehouse.
