Chapter 85 Finding clues
"A thief has entered the mansion, and the Third Prince is checking them one by one." Shen Xuelan explained.
"Does everyone have to take off their clothes? Mother, are you taking off your clothes too?" Lin Baoer was curious.
Shen Xuelan's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Not everyone, like your father and I don't have to."
"But the other young people can't avoid it."
This way, Lin Baoer understood.
So Song Chu, a high-ranking official like her father, was not easy to offend, so he didn't ask anyone to strip for inspection. After all, although the reason was explained, it was disrespectful to others.
But he didn't care about other people, even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything.
Especially since Song Chu gave the reason that something given by the emperor was lost, the nature of this matter was different and extraordinary. People who had no grudges against him did not want to cause trouble and just wanted to quickly investigate and get it over with.
Everyone who had finished the inspection returned to the courtyard, and they were all whispering and discussing in groups.
"Mom! Bao'er!"
Lin Ruqian saw them running over, "Where's big brother?"
There were many spies here, so he resisted asking about Lin Mobai's situation.
"Here." Lin Qiming came from the other side with Lin Zhiyu.
"Bao'er, where did you go just now?" Lin Qiming asked.
God knows how anxious they were when they found out that Lin Bao'er was missing. If it weren't for this girl who was always quirky and smart, maybe they would have sent someone to look for her long ago.
Lin Baoer sighed inwardly and obediently said the reason she had said hundreds of times: "Daddy, I went to the toilet."
[Why does everyone have to ask this question? It's so tiring!]
[But fortunately, my second brother is fine. As long as he passes the inspection, the third prince can't do anything to my second brother without evidence.]
Everyone's expression was subtle for a moment, and then several people visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lin Baoer's sharp eyes saw Lin Mobai who had changed his clothes and came back.
He was stopped as soon as he came in.
"Second Young Master Lin." Song Chu's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and he smiled, "There was a thief in the mansion, who stole a jade pendant given to me by my father. The jade pendant was a birthday gift from my father. If it was lost, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to explain to my father."
"That's why the prince's mansion was sealed off, leaving the thief nowhere to escape."
"So anyone who comes in from outside the courtyard must be inspected. Although I believe in Second Young Master Lin, now that the word has been spoken, if..."
He deliberately didn't finish his words, and acted embarrassed.
Lin Mobai smiled lightly, and continued, "Since that's the case, I am naturally no exception."
"The third prince doesn't need to care about me, just do the inspection as you say."
Song Chu smiled apologetically, and then motioned for someone to go up.
"But I don't know what the second young master Lin wants to do? If you want something, just tell the servants in the mansion. Why bother to come here
in person?" He pretended to be casual. Lin Mobai let the man feel around him and said frankly, "I accidentally spilled wine on me before, so I had someone take me to the side room to change clothes."
"I have to say that the clothes provided to guests by the Third Prince's mansion are all made of the best materials, with everything from inner garments to outer garments. It's really thoughtful."
"When you all come to our mansion, we should be meticulous in everything, otherwise we might get into trouble." Song Chu smiled, and after his eyes swept over Lin Mobai's clothes, he slid towards the man who was checking.
The man shook his head at Song Chu, and then said, "Mr. Lin, please don't
blame me. Because the thief was injured in the abdomen, you may need to take off your clothes for inspection. The side room is in front." Lin Mobai naturally had no objection and followed him.
After a long time, the two came out of the side room.
The inspector shook his head at Song Chu again.
Song Chu frowned and his eyes turned cold.
Then he returned to normal.
"Second Master Lin, I'm sorry for being slow. As long as we catch the thief, the banquet can be held normally. I hope you will wait patiently for a while."
Lin Mobai nodded, "It's okay."
Seeing that Lin Mobai was fine, the big stone in the hearts of the Lin family fell to the ground.
[The disguise skin is really useful. It was really not discovered. 】
Lin Baoer blinked in Lin Qiming's arms, feeling emotional.
【How about I also take out that disguise to play with next time? 】
Lin Qiming secretly patted her butt.
Damn it!
"Dad, Mom."
Lin Mobai came over, exchanged glances with Lin Qiming, and then stood quietly by the side.
On the other side, Song Chu turned around and his face turned cold.
"There is nothing unusual on his body?"
The servant said, "There are only some old scars, no new wounds."
"How could this be..." Song Chu murmured, his eyes sinister.
At that time, someone clearly said that he saw Lin Mobai's figure, so how could it not be him?
Could it be a coincidence?
About half an hour later, Song Chu came over and announced that the thief had been found and had been sent to the Dali Temple. Everyone was relieved.
[He was not sent to the Dali Temple. It is obvious that he just couldn't find anyone to justify himself.]
[Serves him right!]
Lin Baoer sat in Shen Xuelan's arms and stuffed shrimp into her mouth as if to vent her anger.
If it weren't for him, the second brother wouldn't be injured!
Thinking that Lin Mobai's injury was not healed yet, Lin Baoer couldn't help but look at him.
I wonder if the second brother can still hold on?
When she looked, she saw him chatting and laughing with Song Qingqing.
Song Qingqing came later and missed the incident just now, but she also heard the whole story, so she went to find Lin Mobai as soon as she arrived.
But as they talked, she found something wrong.
"Second Master Lin, why do you look a little pale?"
Lin Mobai froze, touched his face, and smiled awkwardly, "Really?"
Although he had the pill given by Lin Baoer, he accidentally pulled the wound when he climbed over the wall just now, and he had to carry on all the way here, so his waist and abdomen had been aching for a long time.
"Indeed, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Song Qingqing was worried.
Lin Mobai coughed lightly and rubbed his waist, "I accidentally injured my waist when practicing martial arts before, maybe it was pulled again just now, so it hurts a little."
Hearing this, Song Qingqing frowned, "The medicine in the Lin Mansion is so bad, I will send someone to send some to the mansion later, and it must be cured, otherwise there will be sequelae and you will not be at peace for the rest of your life."
Lin Mobai touched his nose awkwardly and nodded.
...
After returning to the Lin residence, Lin Qiming and his companions went directly to the study.
"This is it."
Lin Mobai opened the piece of letter paper.
There were only two short lines of words in it, written very sloppily, but the content involved an official in the court.
"Commander, Jiang Cheng!"
The three looked at each other and understood.
No wonder they were able to collude with the pirates quietly. With Jiang Cheng's ability, he could have sent people out under the pretext of dealing with the disaster, making a big fuss without being discovered.
