My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

"Brother, can we really find the thief who stole things from the princess's mansion this time?"

Princess Fukang's brother-in-law looked with disdain at the foreign aid workers who were visiting various courtyards with their housekeepers to understand what had happened.

It's been so many years, if you wanted to find it, you would have found it long ago. Why wait until now?

Let Sai Qingtian investigate. How could this 17-year-old top scholar have the ability to bypass the adults who investigated the case earlier?

He would take anything just for the money.

Thinking of the 12,000 taels reward his sister-in-law had promised, Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and his expression became more dissatisfied.

Seeing his brother like this, the son-in-law Chen Wen scolded him in a low voice.

"You must not be disrespectful to the person the princess has brought back."

"Brother, you are too cautious. It's just that a seventh-rank official and a commoner are so arrogant as to disturb our princess's mansion just because they are investigating thieves. How can this be tolerated?"

Chen Rou looked at Ye Shengxin, who was questioning her nanny and whose suspicion towards her was extremely high, and her expression was angry.

When her brother married the princess, he brought her and her younger brother with him, bringing their entire family with him, which caused them to be laughed at and looked down upon a lot in the capital.

It is said that the three siblings of the Chen family are all gigolos.

They originally did not want to pay attention to the matter, but half a year later, the princess's mansion was frequently robbed.

Thinking back to when everyone in the capital, including the princess's mansion, had placed suspicion on her and her third brother.

Chen Rou still feels angry.

Now, he was investigating thieves again. This Ye Xingxin had stayed with her for such a long time and questioned so many servants in her yard...

Chen Rou bit her lip.

She felt insulted again, and her eyes were filled with hatred for a moment.

Rong Anle was sensitive to people's gazes and looked in the direction of Chen Rou.

A few steps away, she moved her eyes downward and saw Chen Rou's slightly thick fingers with light calluses.

These are a pair of hands that hold a knife or a sword all year round.

Looking at Chen Rou's graceful figure again, Rong Anle lowered her eyes.

It can be judged that this person is good at martial arts and his skills are quite good.

After coming out of Chen Rou's yard, Rong Anle told Ye Shengxin the news. Ye Shengxin, who was worried about having no clues, suddenly brightened up.

He looked back at the yard several times.

As a result, he met Chen Rou's dissatisfied gaze and shook his head again:

"We can't make a conclusion without evidence."

As he was speaking, a middle-aged woman in black clothes and with a serious expression walked over.

When the visitor saw Ye Shengxin and others, he bowed and greeted them, then walked towards Chen Rou's yard with a gust of breeze.

Seeing Ye Shengxin's curiosity, the butler took the initiative to explain:

"Master Ye, Miss Chen has been weak since she was a child. The princess followed the advice of the imperial physician and invited Master Wu for Miss Chen."

"The lady Sanqiu who just walked over here is here to help her strengthen her body."

He said and paused.

"It is not beautiful for a girl to wield swords and guns. The princess is thinking about Miss Chen's marriage, and very few people know about this."

Ye Shengxin was somewhat sensitive to the ways of the world and made the promise immediately.

"Don't worry, butler. I am not a talkative person."

The butler smiled.

As the sun set, Ye Shengxin came out of the housekeeper's yard and ran into Wei Haoguan who was also looking for clues.

As a competitor, Ye Shengxin just forced a fake smile.

Wei Haoguan looked at the top of her head and spoke with a smile.

"Master Ye, have you noticed that the wooden hairpin on your head is missing?"

There was a hint of gloating in his tone.

Ye Xingxin reflexively reached up above his head, but found nothing.

Nothing but hair.

The wooden hairpin she had worn for more than half a month was indeed gone.

Thinking of the process, Ye Shengxin's pupils shrank.

[System, do you know when my hairpin was stolen? ]

The system replied two seconds later, with a hint of guilt in its voice.

[Host, you haven't found any evidence in half a day. I feel bored, so I just... just hibernate for a while.]

Ye Xingxin understood that this system knew nothing.

However, the wooden hairpin is just an ordinary object, so Ye Shengxin doesn’t feel sad about losing it.

But in broad daylight, she, an official investigating thieves, was robbed...

Ye Shengxin's face turned black.

Provocation, this is a naked provocation!

It's even more of a slap in the face!

Just as he was trying hard to recall who might have attacked him, Rong Anle walked over from the yard next door.

She was accompanied by her prince consort who looked like a bookworm.

Princess Fukang had to take care of her daughter, so as the prince consort, he had to go in person when someone came to investigate the case.

The son-in-law Chen Wen followed Wei Haoguan's gaze and looked at the empty top of Ye Shengxin's head.

Few men in the Zhou Dynasty did not wear hairpins, and Ye Xingxin looked like this...

Chen Wen's face was blank for a long time, then he sighed:

"This thief is really too rampant."

Wei Haoguan nodded and added, "Fortunately, I was prepared and did not suffer this misfortune."

Ye Xingxin: "..."

Chen Wen glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. The mansion has arranged a meal for everyone. Please follow me."

The crowd followed closely behind.

At the dinner table, Princess Fukang sat at the main seat, with her daughter and husband on her left and right.

On the left and right of Ye Xingxin were Wei Haoguan and the prince consort's younger brother Chen Ping.

After the meal started, the little princess Xuanyuan Jiao, who had cried again because she learned that the little wooden horse was gone, sniffed.

He looked at the benefactor beside him with expectation in his eyes.

"Mr. Wei, do you have any clues about the thief?"

Wei Haoguan swallowed the big chicken leg in his mouth, with a look of confidence.

"Don't worry, little princess. After midnight tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, I will know who this thief is."

Now that the topic was brought up, Qiao Wenji became interested.

"Oh, then Mr. Wei now has a clue."

Wei Haoguan wiped his hands with a towel, and after they were clean, he went towards the chicken legs again.

At the same time, his eyes fell on Ye Shengxin, who slowed down his eating and was listening with his ears perked up.

"I do have a clue. I have to thank Lord Ye for helping Wei narrow down the scope of the thieves."

Ye Xingxin looked at him: "Me?"

Wei Haoguan kindly reminded: "When Lord Ye was searching just now, he didn't come into contact with many people."

"About thirty. The thief must be among them."

Ye Shengxin tried hard to recall the maids and servants he had asked before.

According to them, the thief visited the princess's mansion hundreds of times.

Each of them has an alibi, and each of them is suspected of being a thief.

Ye Xingxin had a headache.

Having never learned any systematic experience in handling cases, she could only try to find clues by watching TV dramas in her original world and watching the police solving cases.

It really puts her in a difficult position.

Ye Shengxin's worries pleased Wei Haoguan.

He raised his eyebrows proudly and assured Princess Fukang.

"Princess, rest assured. I will definitely catch the thief as soon as possible to relieve your worries."

"Mr. Wei is indeed worthy of being called the Justice of Justice by the people. His speed in solving cases is truly admirable."

Chen Rou was generous in her praise, and then glanced at Ye Shengxin who was eating rice with his head down.

He could no longer control his temper and said, "If Mr. Wei is determined to take the imperial examination and become an official, with your talent, a fifth-rank official will surely be within his grasp."

Ye Shengxin paused while chewing rice and blinked.

[System, do I have a grudge against this Miss Chen Rou? Why do I feel like she is hinting at me?]

Rong Anle continued slowly: "Speaking of talent, Lord Ye has passed the imperial examinations and is a rare talent in the world. He is truly the talent of our Zhou country."

The corner of Qiao Wenji's mouth twitched.

It is unknown how much knowledge a person from another world has.

Lieutenant General Rong may feel relieved about Gao Ye's status as his benefactor, but he won't.

If he really said that, Ye Shengxin's talent would definitely break his bones.

Ye Shengxin felt guilty and started eating rice again.

Anle is really overrated.
