When Song Yi arrived, Chu Chengyao was wearing an inner coat and an outer coat, reading a book in his hand, looking like a casual homebody, without the slightest appearance of having been out of the house.
After saying a few gentle words, Chu Chengyao asked Song Yi why he came.
Song Yi: "Just after we left the house, someone was following Cao Xian and me. I didn't know the details of the person coming, and I was afraid that I would cause trouble to His Highness by taking action rashly, so I pretended not to know and led the person around without alerting him."
Chu Chengyao showed a flawless look of surprise:
"Oh? Is this happening? There is a high probability that he is coming for me. I will ask Zhong Yi to investigate. If that person hurts you, don't worry about me. It's important to take care of yourself."
After sending Song Yi away who looked grateful, Chu Chengyao said calmly:
"Let Zhao Jin no longer have to follow Song Yi."
Zhong Yi: "Song Yi's skills, let alone Zhao Jin, even I can't guarantee that he can beat him. Apart from me, if the government is looking for someone who can follow him without being discovered, I'm afraid they can only come from Fengming Mountain. The transfer is here."
Chu Chengyao: "I tried it twice and he told me frankly. There is no need to follow me anymore. If he finds out the clues, it would be a pity to break up with me."
Prince Qin's Mansion.
After Chu Chengye left the palace, he suppressed his anger and invited the Golden Guard. He took out the map and carefully studied the thieves' theft route, found possible hiding places, and explored the traces without disturbing the people.
After a day of painstaking search and still no progress, Chu Chengye was so angry that he overturned the dining table and vented his anger on the cook.
Jia Yu waved away the servants he was waiting for, bravely stepped forward and offered a plan.
Chu Chengye's impatient expression slowly turned into thinking. Sun Jian heard that it was feasible and helped Jia Yu persuade him, and finally got Chu Chengye's nod.
The next day, it was the prince's turn to supervise the defense change.
The prince wanted to ridicule Chu Chengye for not being able to catch even a thief, but he didn't expect Chu Chengye to take out the stolen goods before he could say anything.
"In order to recover the lost property of the Minister of Civil Affairs, I worked hard yesterday without sleep or rest, and finally discovered the thief's traces last night. The thief hid in a sewage barrel and left the city, fled to the outskirts of the city, and wanted to take a boat to Jizhou."
"Er Chen led people to round up the thief. During the process, the thief resisted fiercely and fell into the water. Er Chen sent people to salvage. Although the thief was captured, he had already drowned. Apart from the wet banknotes, only these four items were salvaged. Please Father, please take a look."
The prince took a look: "The number of thefts reported by Sun Shangshu is far more than this. Why did the third brother only find these few?"
Chu Chengye: "Maybe the thieves were discovered and abandoned some in order to escape. This is the only thing I salvaged. General Jin Wei went with me last night. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he might as well go to confront General Jin Wei." ."
The emperor ignored the bickering between his two sons and picked up the stolen goods handed over by Zheng Cheng to look at them. Unexpectedly, he found the mark of the palace on the bottom: This thing is clearly an object from the palace!
The emperor picked up the other three items and looked at them. Under a pure gold ornament, he also saw the seal of the palace.
The cruel look in the emperor's eyes flashed away, and he put the things down as if nothing had happened, and asked the Minister of Staff to come forward to identify them.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel did not know all the property in the mansion. In addition, he heard that Jin Wei was going with him, so he knew that he could not refute, so he looked at the general appearance and said:
"It looks similar, so it should be."
Emperor: "Since we haven't fully recovered them yet, let's keep these items in the palace for the time being. Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday. If you have any questions, we can wait until after her birthday to discuss anything and withdraw from the court."
