Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Tu Shanjing saw me deep in thought and asked, "Have you figured out anything? Why don't you let me into the mansion?"

I can't tell you because I don't want you to meet Fangfeng Yiying in advance and disrupt the timeline and cause more trouble. This woman will team up with your eldest brother to harm you in the future. Not only has she cheated on you, but she also gave birth to a cheap son. The farther you can stay away from her, the better.

Unfortunately, I opened my mouth in vain. I had so much to say, so I could only pretend to be profound: "Alas, Lanxiang is afraid that this thief must have bad intentions when she shows up. She is afraid that the young master will fall into her trap and threaten his safety. As for the clues... Lanxiang can't figure it out. It's too confusing and she can't figure it out!"

Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "That's right. If you are not sure, it is better not to alert the enemy and be cautious. Where did you find this fragment?"

I groaned inwardly. I had just evaded one question when another came up. I stroked my hair and continued to make up a story: "Lanxiang was found... in a yard where few people lived. I happened to pass by the yard and saw something reflecting light in the sun. I approached and saw that it was a piece of porcelain buried in the soil. I guess it was buried in a hurry and the wind blew away the top layer of soil, or it was dug out by the dog of Master Fenglong's family running around in the house... I stepped forward and pulled it out, and pulled out the piece of porcelain. The rest of the part was buried deep in the soil, and I didn't have the right tools to dig it out. I was afraid that if I stayed there for too long and was seen by others, I covered it with soil and put a flower pot on it. I just don't know why the thief brought the stolen goods to Chen Rong's mansion?"

I was thinking as I was making it up, it was just a change of location, so I couldn't lie to him too much. At the end, I asked him a question back, so that he had no time to think of new questions to ask me, and I couldn't make it up again.

As expected, he lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke: "I have no idea either. Could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest place? It was just reported that these things were lost in Chen Rong Mansion. He would be more conspicuous with these things, so he secretly transported them to Chen Rong Mansion? But who has the courage and ability to steal things from Tushan Mansion and hide them in Chen Rong Mansion, and do it?"

I said, "That makes sense! By the way, sir, do you think it is possible that the thief that day was actually someone else, and the person who helped him hide things in Chen Rong's mansion didn't know the secret?"

Tu Shanjing frowned slightly and pursed his lips unconsciously. This was the expression that appeared subconsciously when he was thinking hard.

He suddenly asked me, "Were the contents of the two-handled pot still inside when you saw it?"

I recalled that not only the two-handled pot, but also the red sandalwood box and the jade bottle were empty. I remember that Tu Shanjing told me that there were hairpins, bracelets, ice souls, jade bamboo and the like inside. The hairpins and bracelets might be put into her jewelry box by Fang Fengyi, but ice souls and jade bamboo could not be put into her two boxes, and I didn't see her bring anything else that could hold them.

I hesitated and said, "No... There was a jade bottle inside the two-handled pot, and both were empty. I didn't see the red sandalwood box, so I don't know if the contents are still there."

Tu Shanjing's brows relaxed, and he said with a slight smile, "I guess, they are not there either. The thief must have asked someone to bring the things to Chen Rong's mansion and hide them as you said, because if there is one place in the world I won't search, it must be Feng Long's residence. And Feng Long knows that he didn't receive these things, so he won't think of looking for these things in his own mansion."

I recalled the items in the box. Sure enough, apart from the bottles and jars, I didn't see anything else that could hold the ice soul or bamboo. I couldn't help but blurt out, "Yes! So what the thief really wants is--"

Tu Shanjing smiled and replied, "Yes, the thief must want the things inside, and he must still have them with him. Although we can't guess what he will use them for, at least we have ruled out half of them and narrowed the scope."

Seeing him smile, I couldn't help but smile too: "Then can we put the matter of Chen Rong's mansion into the dark for the time being and investigate it thoroughly in the next two days?"

Tu Shanjing nodded, "Okay. If the people who moved the items into the mansion were deceived without knowing it, it's fine. But if they colluded with the thieves, we will investigate closely and they will leak the news. The thieves will be on guard and it will be even harder to find them. I will ask Fenglong to check who moved the large items, what day they moved them, and what they moved. Once we have some clues, it won't be too late to filter them out carefully."

I thought to myself that I didn't need Fenglong, I knew who moved in. Unfortunately, I still couldn't tell him, because Fenglong also knew the inside story. He would definitely write Fangfeng Yiying at the front and randomly pick some people to fill in the back to complete the task quickly. It wouldn't take long. I breathed a sigh of relief when I thought of this. Anyway, I had already completed the first-priority report, and now it depended on how Tu Shanjing would track it down.

Tu Shanjing poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips and put it down, took out a letter from his arms, and said to me: "By the way, Xiangliu asked someone to send me a letter today, saying it was for you. Do you want Xiaohui to read it to you, or do you want me to read it to you now?"

I asked curiously, "Xiangliu?! Then please read it for me, sir."

Tu Shanjing opened the letter with a smile, unfolded it and took a look, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

As if he couldn't see clearly, he held the letter closer and said, "This wasn't written by Xiangliu. It was... written by someone called Wang Shiba? The signature was like this anyway."

I smiled and said, "Oh! He is the military doctor in Xiangliu's army. He is like-minded with me and considers me his younger brother! I don't know how he is doing since we parted in the army that day. But since he can write a letter, he must be in good health and have some free time, right?"

Tu Shanjing looked at me and laughed, "When did you recognize a big brother? Don't worry, he writes with vigor and power, not like a weak person. Just listen to me read to you: 'Nineteenth little brother: You are doing well? That day you left me a piece of rag in your hand, and I was scared when I woke up! I thought you were a rag spirit, and I was not honest in my sleep in the middle of the night and you crushed it to death. Later, the brothers told me that you were taken away by Xuanyuan's gang of bastards, but they seemed to be very polite to you before they left. I didn't want to let you suffer, but I still miss you, brother, I will reply when I have time! Also, thanks to you for telling Fatty to let us run to Qingshui Town, this is indeed a quiet place, where we can't get any help from heaven or earth, and it is suitable for us to occupy the mountain and be the king. Next time we meet, brother will treat you to black pork..."

When he read this, Tu Shanjing opened his eyes wide and stared at the letter, looking very puzzled. I couldn't help laughing a long time ago, and now I asked him with my hands on my stomach: "Master, what did he say to treat me to food?"
