After eating and drinking, Han Zeyu changed into night clothes and prepared to look for his family's valuable property.
Su Shien was a little worried. It had been about three hours since Xiao Hei was stolen. In that time, the horse thief should have left the city long ago.
"If you can't find any trace, go to Wu'an Marquis Mansion and check. Ning Yuanchen must know about it."
Han Zeyu said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's easy to find Xiao Hei. He definitely hasn't left the city."
"Okay, be safe."
Han Zeyu took the underground passage and originally wanted to go to the imperial city to check it out and start looking from the source.
But since I had to pass by the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, I decided to go in and take a look first.
In Han Zeyu's eyes, Team Hou's guards were useless.
The key point is that the roof is bare and there is not even a spy eavesdropping on it.
He doesn't even have the basic configuration, and it's obvious that Marquis Wu'an is not valued by the emperor.
At the beginning of the hour of Hai, which is around nine o'clock in the evening, in ancient times when there were not many entertainment activities, everything was quiet at this time.
Apart from the night watchmen and the patrolling guards, there were no other pedestrians on the street.
Han Zeyu chose a courtyard where the lights were still on, jumped in to take a look, and found that the owner of the courtyard was a young man he didn't know.
However, judging from the lingering smell of medicine in his room, this man is most likely Ning Yuanzhao who delivered the note.
The person living in the main courtyard is naturally Marquis Wu'an. Although the courtyard where Ning Yuanzhao lives is large, its location is a bit remote.
There is an exquisite courtyard next to the main courtyard. Could that be Ning Yuanchen’s territory?
This Marquis Wu'an is really a man of two minds, and he is determined to trample on the face of his legitimate son.
Could it be that the arrogant bastard was Bai Yueguang's son, or did he save Marquis Wu'an's life?
Han Zeyu was daydreaming when he discovered that the oil lamp in Ning Yuanzhao's room had gone out.
The maid came out carrying a basin of clothes, looked around cautiously, and when she found nothing unusual, she lowered her head and quickly left the place.
A pair of eyes embedded in the wall blinked. Just now, when the maid passed by the wall, the clothes in the basin emitted a pungent medicinal smell.
The smell was so strong that it didn't seem like it had been smoked in the room for years, but rather like a whole bowl of medicinal juice had been poured in there.
It seems that the note man is also an actor who should not be underestimated.
Others just think that he was born at the wrong time and had a biased and foolish father.
Ning Yuanzhao was already twenty-one years old, but Marquis Wu'an still had no intention of asking for him to be named the crown prince.
Everyone knew that Marquis Wu'an favored his eldest illegitimate son, but according to the current legislation, the throne of the crown prince should be inherited by the legitimate son.
Even if the frail Ning Yuanzhao was awarded the title of crown prince, how many years could he live?
It is entirely possible to wait until he dies and then transfer the title to the eldest son with legitimate reasons.
But even with such dignity, Marquis Wu'an did not want to leave it to his legitimate son.
Han Zeyu felt that in such a depressing environment, it was already good enough not to become perverted.
He was indeed the financial sponsor he had just met for the first time. He knew how to endure like a turtle. How rare, how rare.
Han Zeyu left the Marquis' Mansion and began searching from the stable where Xiao Hei disappeared.
Driven by his special powers, Xiao Hei's unique mark will appear on the road he walks on.
When Xiao Hei was two years old, he was too active and exercised a lot, so he had his hooves trimmed and hoofed early.
Its horseshoes are the most common standard horseshoes.
But as Han Zeyu's exclusive mount, how could he be content with mediocrity?
Therefore, Han Zeyu suddenly had an idea and gave a special set of horseshoes to Xiao Hei, who was wild, rebellious and foolish at the time.
The left front hoof is engraved with "S" and the right front hoof is engraved with "B".
The left hind hoof is engraved with "N" and the right hind hoof is engraved with "Z".
The silly and rebellious son was so happy that every time the horseshoe was replaced, Han Zeyu would re-carve it.
There were no dirt roads in the imperial city, and it was difficult to identify the trail based on the dust on the ground, so some time was wasted.
However, Han Zeyu didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face this time.
He swore that Xiao Hei was still in the city, but he actually found the black horse, whose eyes were blue with hunger, on a farm outside the city.
Han Zeyu was shocked. A horse's eyes only turn blue when it is injured or sick.
After a nervous inspection, Han Zeyu concluded that this guy was just starving.
Some hay was taken from another stable and piled in front of Xiao Hei, who immediately began to devour it voraciously.
It's so hard to be an undercover agent.
Han Zeyu looked at Xiao Hei's condition. The gold chain on his foot was still intact. Did he not have the time to do anything, or did he not dare to do anything without his master's order?
Looking at the surrounding environment, it should be a private farm. Han Zeyu patted Xiao Hei and asked it to eat slowly.
Xiao Hei had been hungry for four hours and was staggering when he walked. What a bunch of damn horse thieves!
"If someone tries to steal the gold chain, give it to them. After the deed is done, I will get it back from you."
Xiao Hei lowered his head to eat grass and pretended not to hear.
"I'll bring apples to see you tomorrow. Remember to act weak and don't let anyone see your flaws."
After saying this, Han Zeyu left, leaving Xiao Hei with a long sigh.
The next morning, Su Shien put on his official robe, went to the Hanlin Academy to ask for leave, and then rushed to the Jingzhao government office to report the case.
A Hanlin editor, a seventh-rank official, lost a horse worth more than three thousand taels. The horse was lost in the imperial city, which was under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse supervisor.
This seemingly ordinary theft case has too many elements.
More than three thousand taels is a huge amount of money involved in the case, and they should pay special attention to it.
But what kind of horse could be worth over three thousand taels? A Ferghana horse or a Western Region Pegasus?
