Chapter 274 Mr. Simeng
If Mo Jiuye knew about this, he would say that the news came a little late.
The reason was simple. The border guard was worried that the emperor would blame him for someone breaking in, so he wanted to send someone to find the person and be done with it.
Unexpectedly, even though he dispatched a large number of people, he still couldn't find any clues.
The defending general guessed that the intruder might have already sneaked into the city. If this matter was kept secret any longer, he would be in trouble if something big happened. Therefore, he had no choice but to send someone to the capital to deliver a letter.
When the prince heard that someone had broken into the border, he immediately associated it with the theft in his mansion.
"Father, there must be spies from the Dashun faction who have infiltrated the Prince's Mansion."
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang frowned.
"The messenger who just came from the border said they only saw two people sneaking in. How could two people be so capable of emptying the Prince's Mansion's warehouse?"
After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers soon followed suit.
"Indeed, could those two spies be gods? The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, how could they have emptied an entire warehouse?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the prince was immediately angered.
"You mean, this prince is talking nonsense?"
"I dare not."
"Humph! This prince thinks you are very daring."
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang was already in a bad mood at the moment, and when he saw the two of them quarreling openly in the hall, he slammed the table in anger.
"Shut up, everyone."
The prince and the minister looked at each other and immediately shut up.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang didn't know how to deal with this matter at the moment. The only thing he could do was to send people to continue the search.
After arranging this matter, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang could not wait to order all the ministers to withdraw from the court and left in a hurry.
The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang appealed in the court for so long, but got nothing in return.
Although my father sent more people to continue the search, it was of no use considering the many things that were stolen from his mansion.
Because the storehouse in the mansion was robbed, the prince actually ignored the funeral arrangements for the fourth princess.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, a servant came to ask him how to handle the next steps after the Crown Princess's funeral.
The prince then remembered that the Crown Princess's funeral had not yet been completed.
Although he didn't like the fourth princess of Dashun, she came to him as a marriage partner after all.
Her funeral cannot be too simple. After all, there are so many people watching outside, so it has to be done well even if it is just a show.
So he impatiently assigned the next tasks to his servants.
At the same time, he also remembered that he had never seen the two maids who came with the fourth princess to marry. Could it be that they had run away with the things in the warehouse?
The prince suddenly felt that he had uncovered the truth, and ordered more people to search for Lan'er and Yu'er...
At this time, in the Southern Xinjiang Palace.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang returned to his study, dismissed his followers, and then went behind a large screen.
He raised his hand and pressed a switch, opening the door of the secret room and walked in.
The secret room was magnificent, and the furnishings were no less magnificent than those in his study.
Moreover, all living facilities are available here, even the toilet is rimmed with gold.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang walked in and said impatiently:
"Sir, no matter what, you have to help me this time."
It was not difficult to hear from his tone how cautious he was in his words, and even a hint of fear.
At this time, a man was leaning on a soft couch, and the arrival of the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang did not make him want to get up.
This person wore a black hat and women's clothes, but his voice was that of a man.
Moreover, the tone of voice makes people feel impatient.
"What happened to make you, the king of a country, so anxious?"
The Southern Xinjiang Emperor still stood respectfully before the man and said, "I just heard from someone at the border that two spies have infiltrated the Dashun side and have not been found yet.
Not only that, something strange happened in the Prince's Mansion last night, and I suspect it has something to do with those two spies..."
After hearing the Southern Xinjiang Emperor's words, the man on the couch became somewhat interested. He slowly sat up and asked, "Are you saying that those two spies were so resourceful that they were able to move so much stuff from the Crown Prince's Mansion storehouse all at once?"
If it were in the past, he might not have believed such nonsense.
To tell a more distant story, the Dashun treasury was completely robbed overnight, and the thieves even set it on fire.
In addition, the home of a county magistrate in Dashun was robbed by the same thief.
Most importantly, he saw with his own eyes last night that the study in Simeng Villa was also emptied out, the few disciples he left behind were all killed, and Mo Xiuyan was also rescued.
Unfortunately, when he discovered it, it was too late and the thief had already disappeared.
If he had not gone to Simeng Villa last night but stayed in the capital, he would have been able to rush over in time to check out the big commotion in the Prince's Mansion and would not have lost the best time to look for clues.
He was already angry about this matter, and now the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang came to him for help.
Analyzing these things together, Mr. Simeng felt that this was most likely related to the Mo family, and that they were currently in the capital of southern Xinjiang.
When the Mo family was exiled, only one male, Mo Jiuye, was left.
This person is really lucky. No matter whether he used wits or force, he couldn't be hurt at all.
He also heard that the Mo family has now arrived safely in the northwest and settled down. If he had not been injured by the poisonous insect he had refined not long ago, he would have wanted to go to the northwest to meet Mo Jiuye a long time ago.
Now he has sent people to the northwest to investigate the situation of the Mohist School, but no news has been reported back. Without knowing the details, he does not intend to act rashly.
Unexpectedly, things happened one after another, and the motives of these things could be associated with Mo Jiuye.
Mr. Simeng did not reply to the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang immediately, but was carefully pondering the similarities between several things.
First, the Dashun treasury was robbed the night before Mohism was exiled.
According to his people, on the day of Mo Jiuye's wedding, he was summoned into the palace by Emperor Shunwu, and then beaten with fifty sticks and carried home.
The theft from the national treasury occurred after Mo Jiuye was carried back.
He was also a martial artist and knew exactly what it meant to be beaten with fifty sticks.
If it were him, after being beaten with fifty sticks, he would probably have to lie in bed for at least a month.
Even if Mo Jiuye's martial arts skills were better than his, he wouldn't be able to move freely without lying down for half a month. Moreover, stealing from the national treasury was such a difficult task that it didn't seem like he would do it.
But we cannot completely rule out the possibility that he has nothing to do with it.
The next thing was the county magistrate's family. Some were injured, some were mentally retarded, and so many items in the warehouse disappeared overnight.
After investigation by his people, they found that the Mohist exile team was nearby at that time.
It’s just that the exact location has not been determined.
Through these two things, even if he did not find evidence pointing to Mo Jiuye, his intuition told him that this must be related to Mo Jiuye.
Finally, there is his Simeng Villa.
You know, there are a lot of things in the study underground. Even if you can carry them up with light skills, you will probably have to go back and forth several times.
He had checked carefully and found that there were only two outsiders' footprints there at most.
And judging from the size of the footprints, the two people should be a man and a woman.
He could guess that the man was Mo Jiuye. Mo Xiuyan looked like a living dead and was covered in dirt. If he were not his brother, he would probably not want to save him when he saw him.
But he couldn't figure out who that woman was.
Anyone who dares to break into his Simeng Villa will probably not be able to get in without real ability.
But according to his understanding, none of the female members of the Mo family knew martial arts.
After thinking about it, Mr. Simeng felt that he was increasingly lost.
