Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

"Grandfather, please put me down."

After leaving the fire, Su Heting felt like a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw and calmed down.

Shoushan put the man down, pointed at his forehead and complained in a low voice, "Am I your real grandfather? Why didn't you take me with you when you robbed?

Last time, I spent a lot of money on your coffin. You are such an unfilial fellow, you don’t even know how to let your grandfather add to his family fortune.”

Su Heting took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. He had found these in Ji Chuan's study. He handed them all to Shoushan and asked, "Why did you come with us?"

Shoushan took it and stuffed it all into his arms.

After thinking about it, he took out another one and stuffed it back into Su Heting's arms, complaining, "That woman in the mansion is so annoying..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Xi and others followed him out.

When he saw Shoushan, Qiao Xi asked the same question, "Why is Grandfather here?"

They came out this time to hide it from Ji Yao.

A few days ago, Qiao Xi pretended to anger Su Heting. Su Heting cooperated and punished her to reflect on her mistakes at the farm, giving Qiao Xi a chance to escape.

Qiao Xi's original plan was to rob the Ji family and then she could bring people out.

But he met Su Heting on the way. Su Heting's original words were, "The robbed money will be divided between you and me. I am worried that you will embezzle it, so I have to keep an eye on you personally."

Qiao Xi guessed that he couldn't stand Ji Yao's harassment and made up an excuse. Knowing that he had arranged a substitute to deal with Ji Yao, she didn't expose him.

Unexpectedly, the old man also came.

And he rescued Su Heting so accurately.

And what happened to Su Heting just now?

Shoushan's attitude towards Qiao Xi was much better than Su Heting's. He laughed and said, "That woman wants to please me so she plays with me every day, but I don't like it. I still prefer playing with Xi Baoer.

Xibaoer, what shall we play next?"

Qiao Xi glanced behind her, pursed her lips and smiled, "Next, we should run away."

Ji Hu's guards have all caught up with them, and only they, relying on their good skills, dare to chat here.

Shoushan thought it was a very interesting thing to hear, so he grabbed one with each hand and said, "Let the Flying Thief fly..."

Ji Hu's guards watched them disappear before their eyes, gritting their teeth and stamping their feet in anger. One of them ordered, "Quick, go to the barracks and inform the master."

Xu An has been restless these days, threatening to take over Yincheng in one fell swoop. With the fall of Liangzhou and Yanzhou before, the people of Yincheng have been talking about it.

The governor was worried about the chaos in the army, so he went to the military camp in person today to stabilize the morale of the troops. His wife happened to go back to her parents' home, and they each took a lot of soldiers with them.

I didn't expect that the thieves would take advantage of the opportunity and enter the house, and they are so arrogant.

The guards dared not delay any longer.

When Ji Chuan heard the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and ordered people to search the whole city for the thief, but there was no trace of the thief.

Only in one inn was it discovered that a group of people had checked in in the past two days. They all looked like strangers. For safety reasons, the group did not eat the food in the inn, but rented the kitchen to cook their own meals.

And he also called a doctor.

Steward Ji hurriedly called the doctor over for questioning and learned that one of the men had a stomachache due to ingesting cold wind. The man was not tall.

After listening to the doctor's description of the little man's illness, Steward Ji asked suspiciously, "Master, could the man with the stomach ailment be Qiu Bayue?"

After Yanzhou fell, they inquired about Qiu Bayue's situation. He was a man from the martial arts world, not tall, but very skilled.

Most people in the underworld are down and out, so it is normal for them to go hungry one day and eat a full meal the next.

In addition, Xu An has evil ambitions.

The people who broke into Ji's mansion to steal tonight are most likely Qiu Bayue and his group.

Ji Chuan also had this suspicion in his heart and said angrily, "Look for them! I don't believe they can fly or hide. Find them for me."

He didn't know that he was actually right, but that's a story for later.

Steward Ji took the order and went to give the instructions. Then he heard Ji Chuan ask again, "Why hasn't Madam come back yet?"

Mrs. Ji's parents' home, the Yao family, is in Yincheng. Mrs. Ji also goes back to her parents' home on weekdays, but she always goes and comes back on the same day and rarely stays overnight at her parents' home.

If Madam Ji had returned home today, she might have discovered the abnormality earlier and prevented the thieves from succeeding.

Ji Chuan took his anger out on Mrs. Ji.

Steward Ji hesitated and said, "Not yet."

He also found it strange. The news that the house had been robbed and burned had spread throughout the city as they searched for people.

The Yao family couldn't possibly not know that the lady always put the Ji family and the master first, so she should have rushed here in a hurry.

"Come with me to the Yao family to see what's going on."

Ji Chuan has acted very affectionate towards Mrs. Ji over the years. He has no doubt that Mrs. Ji has other intentions towards him. He is worried that something has happened to the Yao family.

This is what tripped Mrs. Ji up.

But what could make a woman who usually regards her husband's family as her heaven not go home to visit after her husband's house was robbed?

Ji Chuan paused and asked Steward Ji, "Could it be that the thieves also went to the Yao family?"

Murder and robbery?

The housekeeper thought about Mrs. Ji's concern for Ji Chuan and nodded heavily.

Thinking that Mrs. Ji might be dead, Ji Chuan smiled slightly.

The emperor asked Princess Yong to give birth to his son in order to take revenge on Prince Yong, but it was also his opportunity.

He raised his only son under the emperor's nose, and then married a merchant girl named Yao, with whom he had only one daughter.

It is equivalent to handing over one's weaknesses to the emperor, and showing his loyalty to the emperor.

Although Yao was the daughter of a merchant, she was beautiful when she was young and her dowry was generous, so Ji Chuan was willing to marry her at first.

But as time went by, Yao's appearance was no longer the same as before, and she had become vulgar like a merchant girl. She was no match for Princess Yong in the capital, and he had long been disgusted with her.

If it weren't for the Yao family's hard work and the growing business in recent years, he would need the Yao family's money, and he was also afraid that killing Yao would make the emperor suspect that he had ambitions. The grass on Yao's grave would be several feet high.

If Yao died at the hands of thieves this time, it would be a blessing from the Bodhisattva.

At that time, he could also put the blame on the traitor Xu An and urge the emperor to send troops to help.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

Arriving at the Yao residence, they found the door closed. After knocking for a long time, the door still did not open. Steward Ji said, "Master, it seems there is a problem."

Ji Chuan nodded, turned around and ordered a general, "Bring more men and surround the Yao Mansion."

He suspected that the thieves were currently in Yao's residence, otherwise why couldn't they be found in the entire city?

The general received the order and quickly brought people over. Ji Chuan then asked Butler Ji to knock on the door again.

This time, the door opened quickly.

The person who opened the door was the steward of the Yao Mansion. Before he could speak, Ji Chuan asked with concern, "How are my father-in-law and my wife?"

The steward looked sad. He glanced towards the backyard and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The master is feeling unwell today. The eldest lady is worried about him, so she stayed to take care of him. I hope the son-in-law will forgive me."

Ji Chuan looked at the manager's expression and noticed a little blood on his neck, and he already had an idea in his mind.

If she really stayed to take care of the sick, Yao would have sent someone back to inform him, because she was worried that her father had forgotten. The noise outside should have reminded her to return home.

There is clearly something going on.

If the father and daughter of the Yao family were gone, all the Yao family's wealth would be his.

Ji Chuan was happy in his heart, but said with a worried look, "Father-in-law is not feeling well. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go and take a look."

"Uncle."

The Yao family steward hurriedly tried to stop them, "The master has already gone to bed. The eldest lady has been very tired today, so I'm afraid she has gone to bed too."

"Bold."

Steward Ji said, "My lord is worried that Madam has not returned home yet, so he has come all the way to pick her up. Now that I know that Master Yao is ill, as his son-in-law, you should go and visit him.

You, a slave, dare to make excuses. Come, take this bastard away."

The Yao family's housekeeper wanted to stop them, but the soldiers covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Ji Chuan made a gesture to the general, who understood and rushed in with a group of soldiers.

The steward stopped him from entering the house, which meant that the Yao father and daughter were in the hands of thieves, or perhaps one of them was already dead.

But if his people broke in at this time and a fight broke out between the two sides, the other party would definitely kill the Yao family to silence them.

Even if they don't kill, it doesn't matter, his people will kill.

All the money of the Yao family should belong to him.

Ji Chuan's hands were shaking with excitement under his sleeves. It was great, he had finally waited for this day.

He walked slowly behind the soldiers...
