Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Say, what is the purpose of your night break into my house?"
The snitch said: "The master is nervous, so he wants to rob you in exchange for some silver flowers."
Hu Xiaotian snorted coldly, the arrogance of the snitch had aroused the anger in his heart, raised his foot and kicked the snitch's face, kicked the snitch all over the face, and then said: "Hang them up, beat me, beat them until they tell the truth" At this moment, suddenly saw the northeast direction of the fire, everyone was stunned, Liang Dazhuang exclaimed: "There is a fire" At this time, the screams of the fire came and went, and Hu Xiaotian left four family members to take care of the two snitches, and led the others to rush over to put out the fire.
The place where the fire broke out was Ji Yaxuan of Shangshu Mansion, this is Hu Buwei's study, Hu Xiaotian had vaguely guessed when he led people to put out the fire, they might have fallen into someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, just when they caught these two snitches, almost all the strength of Shangshu Mansion was gathered, and when everyone was busy catching snitches, another person took the opportunity to sneak into Ji Yaxuan and set the fire.
Fortunately, the fire was not large, and there were many people in Shangshu Mansion, and the fire in Jiyaxuan had been extinguished in less than half an hour.
Soon after the fire was extinguished, Jingzhao Mansion also sent someone to check on the situation, and it was Murong Feiyan who led the team, speaking of which, this female catcher had also dealt with Hu Xiaotian a few times.
Looking at the ruins of Ji Yaxuan, Murong Feiyan frowned slightly.
The security in the capital has been bad recently, and there have been several thefts one after another, but none of them really dare to sneak into the official mansion to steal, after all, the thieves also understand that the people do not fight with the officials, and if they are caught for stealing the officials' mansions, they are afraid that the punishment will be heavier.
At this time, a man with a black and gray face walked over to her, and showed a smile at her from a distance, revealing a mouth full of snow-white and neat teeth, seeing this heartless smile, Murong Feiyan recognized that the person in front of him was actually Hu Xiaotian, the son of Shangshu.
Hu Xiaotian was just busy fighting the fire, and he didn't bother to wash off the black ash on his face, at this time he looked like an African brother who had just escaped from the dire situation, this thing came to Murong Feiyan and arched his hand and said: "Murong catches the head, let's meet again" Murong Feiyan didn't have a good impression of this guy at all, but she also knew the main purpose of her coming this time, and at the same time, she also understood that Hu Xiaotian appeared as a victim today, and said softly: "What happened?"
Hu Xiaotian briefly said what happened to the snitch tonight, and after listening to it, Murong Feiyan said, "Did you lose anything?"
These words really stopped Hu Xiaotian, Shangshu Mansion is so big, there are too many things at home, not to mention that the study was burned, the scene was seriously damaged, even if the study was not burned, he didn't know what he lost.
Murong Feiyan said: "Give me those two snitches, and I will take them to Jingzhao Mansion for careful interrogation." ” Hu Xiaotian had no objection to this, after all, Murong Feiyan was a professional in this area, and he smiled and said, "If there is any progress in Murong Catcher, I hope he can tell me as soon as possible." ” Murong Feiyan nodded.
After tossing for a night, it was already dawn when Murong Feiyan led a group of catchers to escort the snitch away.
Hu Xiaotian was busy catching thieves and fighting fires, and he was naturally a little tired at this time, he yawned, and was about to go back to the room to rest, but he saw the housekeeper Juan coming over with some trepidation, from Juan's eyes, Hu Xiaotian knew that he had something to say, and said in a low voice: "Go to my room and say." ” Juan followed Hu Xiaotian to his room, closed the door, and said with some trepidation: "Young Master, things don't seem to be good tonight. ” In Hu Xiaotian's opinion, it is very likely that he lost some property today, but as long as there are no casualties, other things are just small things, he smiled indifferently: "Money is something outside the body, as long as the big guys are safe." ” Juan lowered his voice and said, "Young master, do you know that the master has collected the Danshu iron coupon in Jiyaxuan."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, the Danshu Iron Coupon, isn't it the legendary death-free gold medal In the past, he had learned about that thing in the novel, it was said to be a kind of reward certificate issued by the Son of Heaven to the meritorious hero, if the courtier committed a crime in the future, he could take out the Danshu Iron Coupon to avoid death, Hu Xiaotian didn't know that their old Hu family also had a Danshu Iron Coupon, he had only regained consciousness for half a year, and his father had never mentioned it in front of him.
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought in his heart, this Danshu iron coupon is by no means an ordinary thing, even if their family really has a Danshu iron coupon, his father will definitely collect it carefully, how can he let a housekeeper know the whereabouts of the Danshu iron coupon casually Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian said: "I have never heard of any Danshu iron coupons." ” Hu An was so anxious that he rubbed his hands: "Young master, this Danshu iron coupon was passed on to the old lady Hu of Jingguo by Emperor Mingzong back then, and later although the Hu family was in the middle of the road, this Danshu iron coupon has been passed down from generation to generation and treasured in the hands of the Hu family."
It wasn't until the lord's generation, to gain fame and revitalize the lintel, that the Hu family was carried forward, and I had to be favored by the old lady and entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, so the lord usually didn't hide anything from me, this Danshu iron coupon was collected in Ji Yaxuan in front of me, and also told me that no one was allowed to enter Ji Yaxuan on weekdays, but last night because of the snitch sneaking in, I was concerned about the safety of the young master, and I actually ignored the matter of Ji Yaxuan, young master, I really deserve to die" Juan knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian with a puff.
Hu Xiaotian listened to him pitifully, but after listening to these words, he understood what he meant, I said, what do you mean, you care about my safety, so you ignore the matter of Ji Yaxuan, and I lost it all because of me, and I dare to love this Juan is aware that this time the crime is heavy and I can't afford it, so I sympathize in front of me, but Bo sympathy is Bo sympathy, you can't rely on me for this matter, Hu Xiaotian suddenly felt a little unhappy, and didn't let Juan get up, he sat down on the chair, and thought for a while before saying: " Who else knows about this" Juan knelt in front of Hu Xiaotian and said, "Young Master, except for the master and me, no one knows that the Danshu Iron Coupon is hidden in Ji Yaxuan, even the lady doesn't know, I thought the young master knew." ” Hu Xiaotian scolded in his heart, Juan, Juan, you old guy is not a thing, this is obviously the rhythm of dragging Lao Tzu into the water, there is such a big thing, I feel that I can't carry it alone, so drag me in and let me share the responsibility with you.
However, Hu Xiaotian complained and complained, and he also knew in his heart that he had to bear some responsibility for last night's incident, if it wasn't for the big noise on his side, he wouldn't have alarmed the entire Shangshu Mansion, saying that it was just two snitches, even if no other family members intervened, the strength of him and Liang Dazhuang's six family members alone was enough to take down the snitches.
But last night, I was only excited to catch the thief, but I didn't expect that these snitches would come and attack, but the real target was the Danshu Iron Coupon.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Danshu iron coupon was given to my ancestors by Emperor Mingzong, and now so many years have passed, the emperor has changed, and my Hu family does not know how many generations it has been passed on, and it is difficult to say whether it has any effect."
"He is right, in fact, this kind of Danshu iron coupon is equivalent to a medal.
According to the law of Dakang, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and even the prince cannot be exempted from the crime, not to mention the ordinary ministers, besides, this is an era when the king makes the ministers die and the ministers cannot die, if the emperor wants to kill you, don't say a Danshu iron coupon, you take out a thousand and 10,000 pieces and don't use it, the head should be cut off, and the door should be destroyed.
Juan said: "Young master, although the Danshu iron coupon may not be able to avoid death, but losing the Danshu iron coupon is a big crime to cut off the head."
A word woke up the person in the dream, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back when he heard him say this, yes, if he lost the Danshu iron coupon, it would be a serious crime, if the Danshu iron coupon was really stolen by the snitch, this matter was unfortunately exposed, I am afraid that it will bring great trouble to their Hu family.
The real trouble is that my father went to the eastern capital with the emperor, and my mother happened to go to Jinling's mother's house.
Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more he thought about it this time, the more it looked like a conspiracy, the two snitches sneaked into the courtyard where they lived, the real intention should be to attract everyone's attention, when everyone focused their attention on the snitch and surrounded them to get people, another person sneaked into Ji Yaxuan, stole the Danshu iron coupon, and then set it on fire to destroy the evidence at the scene.
Hu Xiaotian kept pacing back and forth indoors, pondering as he walked.
Juan didn't dare to interrupt him easily, Hu Xiaotian didn't let him get up, he could only kneel there honestly.
Hu Xiaotian finally stopped and said, "Are you sure that the Danshu iron coupon has been stolen?"
Juan nodded and said, "After the fire was extinguished just now, I went to look at the cabinet that stored the Danshu iron coupons, and the lock on the cabinet had been twisted off, and there was nothing inside. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, according to what Juan said, this Danshu iron coupon should have been stolen by someone, he said in a low voice: "Juan, you know and I know about this matter, don't tell a third party to know, as long as we keep this secret, outsiders will naturally not know that the Danshu iron coupon has been lost, are you right?"
Juan pursed his lips: "But" Hu Xiaotian said: "It's nothing, no matter what happens, you can't leak the slightest rumor, you personally go to the Eastern Capital, go to my father, tell him about this matter in person, you remember to me, except for my father, you can't leak this matter to anyone" Juan nodded with a solemn face: "Young master, don't worry, the old slave will definitely keep his mouth shut, and he will never leak the slightest rumor." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Get up" Juan dared to get up from the ground, and he said in a low voice: "Young Master, if those snitches are coming for the Danshu Iron Coupon, we can't keep this secret."
He was obviously terrified, and his voice trembled.
Hu Xiaotian said: "So time is extremely important to us, we must report this matter to my father in the shortest possible time, and as for the snitch, I will deal with it." ”:
