Shi Baoning's expression froze and he stammered, "Isn't this possible?"
In the end, even her own tone was uncertain.
Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Baoning and did not bother to explain, leaving space for Shi Baoning to think clearly.
Shi Baoning still had an expression of disbelief on her face. She turned to look at Shi Junhe again, as if she wanted to ask again, but the tired look on Shi Junhe's face prevented her from speaking.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall reached its lowest point again, Zheng Liangcai ran in excitedly and reported to Shi Junhehui: "Master Shi, I have found the murderer!"
One sentence stirred up waves.
Shi Junhe stood up from his chair and asked hurriedly: "Who is the murderer? How did you catch him?"
"Replying to Master Shi, you still have a way. After listening to your words, I first asked all the servants who were serving the second master Shi. I found that Shi Wang, the servant of the second master Shi, was acting suspiciously. The official immediately asked his subordinates to He was arrested and tortured carefully.
Guess what? Shi Wang refused to admit it at first. When the government officials found the remaining poison and the handkerchief stained with the blood of Mr. Shi in his house, he could not quibble, and then he admitted that he had poisoned Mr. Shi. "Zheng Liangcai said it eloquently and he was sure of victory.
Although he had reminded himself to act sad before he came, when it came time for him to report, he could not hide the smugness in his tone.
He solved the case!
Shi Junhe heard this and felt uncomfortable in his heart, but did not say anything. He just stared at Zheng Liangcai and asked, "Where is this Shi Wang now? What else did he say?"
Zheng Liangcai knew that Shi Junhe wanted to torture Shi Wang personally, so he quickly led the person to the backyard - although it was against the rules - while continuing to explain to Shi Junhe what he knew so far.
"This Shi Wang is tough-talking. Although he admitted that he was the one who killed Mr. Shi, he refused to say anything else! But Mr. Shi, don't worry. His subordinates are all top-notch in questioning skills. As long as With a little more time, I'm sure he can explain all the eighteen generations of his ancestors..."
They hurried all the way to the backyard, and when they were halfway there, they saw Shi Jie running in hurriedly while waiting at the door, and reported to Shi Junhe: "Master, someone from the house just came to report that the house was stolen."
"What?"
It’s really one wave after another.
Shi Junhe had not yet recovered from the bad news that Shi Junfeng had been killed. When he heard such a terrible thing again, his whole face turned dark.
He asked solemnly: "What was lost?"
"Dongyuan didn't throw anything away, but..." Shi Jie turned around and looked at Shi Qingxue carefully.
He explained awkwardly: "It was Xia Mang, Liu Niang's maid, who sent someone to report that someone sneaked into the master room of Luotong Pavilion when no one was around. Although the thief was very careful, she still discovered it when she went in to clean up. Clues.
It's just that Liu Niang is not here, so she doesn't dare to mess with your things without permission. "
Shi Qingxue frowned and said nothing for a while.
Shi Jie turned his gaze to Shi Junhe and asked in a low voice again: "Although I'm not sure what I've lost, I'm afraid I still need you to go back."
Shi Junhe wanted to personally supervise the people in Kyoto Prefecture to torture Shi Wang, but he knew his servant, and if he had to, Shi Jie would never invite him back to the house at this time.
In other words, Shi Junhe must return home at this time.
As soon as Shi Junhe showed a hesitant look on his face, Zheng Liangcai immediately said politely: "If Mr. Shi has important matters, you can deal with them first. You can leave this case in the hands of this official, so you can rest assured!
The official will definitely find out the truth of the matter! "
Zheng Liangcai said this, but Shi Junhe became even more worried.
But now was not the time for him to care about these things. After thinking about it, he encouraged Zheng Liangcai and explained to Shi Baojing before leading his family back home in a hurry.
Shi Qingxue stood at the back, looking towards the backyard with a thoughtful look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Mo Junyang was the first to notice her abnormality and asked quietly while standing next to her.
Shi Qingxue was still frowning and looked at the backyard for a while before saying in a low voice: "I don't know, I just think these two things happened by coincidence. Could it be..."
Before she could finish her words, she swallowed them again.
Such speculation is too random.
There are a lot of coincidences in the world, with people dying and thefts happening frequently.
It would be absurd to forcefully link the two.
Shi Qingxue knew this, so she was embarrassed to continue talking, for fear that Mo Junyang would laugh at her for thinking wildly.
However, Mo Junyang was a person who didn't believe in 'coincidence' even more than she did. He didn't laugh when he heard this. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Do you know what the person who sneaked into Luotong Pavilion wanted to steal?"
Shi Qingxue smiled bitterly: "How could I have guessed this? My daughter's family has valuable things, that is, some gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, what can they have?"
If the thief is really greedy for these belongings, he should go to the master room to steal it to get a bigger harvest!
After all, no matter how favored Shi Qingxue is and how many collections he has, can he have more Shi Qingxue
Unless the thief is not after money, but...
Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang met their eyes and said at the same time: "The iron certificate of the alchemy book!"
Yes, if there is any reason why the thieves have to go to Luotong Pavilion, the only remaining reason is the "gold medal for immunity from death" from the elixir book of Duke Shi's Mansion.
"If that's the case, it's not difficult to guess who the person who stole the things would be." Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and said lightly.
Although she had deduced the truth, she was not very happy.
Mo Junyang gently squeezed the back of her hand and comforted her: "Anyway, let's go back to Luotong Pavilion and take a look first!"
Shi Qingxue nodded, her pretty little face full of solemnity, especially her willow eyebrows that were almost frowning.
When Mo Junyang saw it, he just wanted to reach out and push away the frown on Qingxue's forehead, then take her into his arms and tell her: Don't worry, it won't matter even if the iron coupon of the alchemy book is lost. He would never let Qingxue use that thing to save his life.
He also wanted to say: It doesn't matter if the iron certificate of the alchemy book is stolen. As long as Qingxue wants it, he can get it back.
In just a few minutes, Mo Junyang imagined hundreds of ways to make Shi Qingxue happy.
But he didn't say a word.
Because when they returned to the sealed carriage and they were alone, Shi Qingxue no longer concealed her exhaustion and boredom and buried herself in Mo Junyang's arms.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and arched inward, silently seeking comfort.
Mo Junyang: "..."
Prince Mo enjoyed the intimacy between the two of them, and even hoped that Shi Qingxue could stay like this for a little longer.
Tired, fragile, sad... but they are the ones who need him the most.
Mo Junyang fell in love with Shi Qingxue who asked him for help.
Just thinking about it makes him satisfied.
Satisfaction in both physical and psychological senses. But after being satisfied, there was more desire, which made him couldn't help but reach out and hug the person tighter.
Tighter, more intimate.
"You... pushed me." Shi Qingxue's low and muffled voice came from Mo Junyang's arms.
Mo Junyang was stunned for a moment at first.
As soon as her grip loosened, Shi Qingxue quickly broke away from his embrace.
A pretty little face was flushed at this time, and the red rhyme spread from the face down, covering the fair and slender neck, and extending to the collar.
Mo Junyang slid his throat unconsciously, staring closely at Qingxue's rosy skin hidden under her collar.
"Mo Junyang!" Shi Qingxue yelled angrily, but her voice was sweet and fresh, not like anger, but more like coquettishness.
Prince Mo only felt a ball of fire rushing from his lower abdomen directly into his mind, almost burning away his sanity.
Fortunately, Mo Junyang has always been very cautious when dealing with Shi Qingxue. Even if he loses all reason, he can still suppress himself.
But his voice was extremely hoarse, "What's wrong?"
In fact, even he himself doesn’t know what he is talking about
Shi Qingxue stared, dumbfounded: He suddenly reacted, and now...he had the nerve to ask her why
"... Shameless!" Qingxue cursed angrily.
"Huh?" Mo Junyang's expression looked a little innocent, as if he really didn't know why he was 'suddenly scolded'.
Shi Qingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered: "You should really look in the mirror."
The way Mo Junyang looked at her now was like a bloody wolf staring at its prey, and he was about to pounce on her and 'rip her bones into her belly' - which may not be an adjective yet - which was Shi Qingxue, and Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang couldn't bear to understand, and Shi Qingxue didn't get angry.
Not only was he not angry, but all the depression he had felt since today seemed to disappear in an instant after being made such a fuss by Mo Junyang.
In fact, there is nothing worth paying special attention to!
Shi Qingxue was in a good mood. Looking at Mo Junyang again, she was not angry at all, but...
She winked playfully and raised her little hand to cover Mo Junyang's eyes.
"Qingxue?" The man whispered in confusion.
"Shh!"
Shi Qingxue came to Jun Yang's ear and blew softly into Jun Yang's ear. The man's shoulders shook - it was not obvious, and you couldn't notice it without staring.
But Qingxue had a panoramic view and couldn't help but reveal two pointed little tiger teeth and smiled brightly.
"Be obedient!" Shi Qingxue became more playful and said briskly in the other person's ear.
His tone of voice was like coaxing a child.
Mo Junyang followed the instructions, straightened his back, sat sideways in the carriage, and swallowed unconsciously.
Just as he was about to speak and tell Qingxue to stop making trouble - his self-control was also limited - he felt a warm and moist feeling on his Adam's apple.
Mo Junyang seemed to have been cast a restraining spell and suddenly stopped moving.
All the senses were concentrated on his throat. He felt the warmth first pause at his Adam's apple, and then slowly move down. A pair of slender and soft hands pressed against his thighs, slowly moving inside...
"Jun Yang, I've grown up."
Mo Junyang's mind was like countless fireworks blooming at the same time, dazzling and completely making his mind go blank.
When he came back to his senses, he had already pounced on his only prey like a blood wolf and took it for himself.
