The snow had finally stopped, but the temperature had dropped even further. At night, the moonlight was like a wash. It was extremely cold, to the point that the entire capital was frozen into a thick layer of ice.

The Duke Chu Mansion was so quiet. Finally, a voice broke the silence.

"Oh no, the warehouse has been robbed!"

Duke Chu's warehouse had been robbed? What was the point of this? Who cares about the cold weather in the middle of the night?

The entire residence was shaken. Chu Ming Jing brought Lin Xuan and Huang Guangming to the warehouse.

Looking at the empty storage room, everyone present had an ugly expression on their faces.

"What's going on? When did you find it? " Chu Ming coldly looked at the complete lock on the warehouse door. It was so complete, how did this thief enter?

"Because last night, before the housekeeper went to sleep, he came to inform me that this morning, the First Wife is going to follow the Duke into the palace and let me prepare a gift for the First Wife to enter the palace. I just got up early to open the warehouse. " The newly appointed head of the warehouse guards knelt on the ground and replied with a trembling body.

If this entire warehouse was robbed, even if they killed him, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

"This place hasn't been touched?" Chu Mingjing's gaze fell on the head of the guards and the three people behind him.

The manor's security had always been so strict, and this warehouse had always been behind his courtyard. Who could steal it without anyone noticing? Other than the fact that most of the things in the warehouse were gifts for his birthday, the rest were treasures he had collected from the border. The things in the warehouse didn't move, so why did it move like this?

"He didn't move. Ever since that day when Housekeeper Lin loaded all the gifts into the warehouse, the warehouse never opened again." The guard leader was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

"Lin Xuan, I'll leave this matter to you." Chu Mingjing looked at the head of the guards and gave an order.

"Yes."

Chu Mingjing glanced at the people in front of the warehouse before leaving …

What happened in the front courtyard, Chu Moxi did not know. At this moment, she was still cultivating in her room. Seeing Shang Chen's reaction, Chu Moxi's mood was elated. She was preparing to break through to a seventh grade Spiritual Master.

Right now, the spiritual energy was surrounding her, but Lian'er's voice interrupted her, "Boss, the warehouse in the mansion has been robbed. Right now, General Lin wants everyone in the mansion to gather at the front courtyard." Lian'er's tone was somewhat hurried. It was likely that General Lin had sent someone to rush her.

"Right." Chu Moxi stopped her cultivation and stood up with a cold smile on her face. She was finally willing to shake it out? First Madam, can you really bear it?

Of course, Chu Moxi admired the First Madam even more. After finding out that the warehouse had been robbed, she still had the guts to hide it, leaving a way for her to escape.

One had to say, the third wife was still lacking a bit in comparison to the first wife.

When Chu Moxi left, other than Lian'er, there were two other guards waiting for her in the courtyard.

"What's wrong with Lian'er?" Why are all the guards in the courtyard? " Chu Moxi's eyes were hazy as she leaned against the door of the room with her eyes half-opened.

"Boss, the warehouse has been robbed. The higher-ups have sent everyone to gather at the front courtyard to assist in the investigation." If you wear it like this, you better be careful of catching a cold. " Lian'er pulled Chu Moxi's hand towards the room and helped her put on her thick cotton clothes.

When the two guards saw Chu Moxi and Lian'er enter the room, they didn't urge them and instead waited in the courtyard.

After Lian'er had changed into thick winter clothes for Chu Moxi, they followed the two guards to the front courtyard.

At this moment, the front yard was packed with people, almost everyone had been dug up from their sleep. The cold wind blew in through the door, and almost everyone shivered.

Chu Mo Xi and Lian'er found a remote place to stand and swept their eyes over the people around them. Lin Xuan stood at the very front of the hall with his guards. The entire hall was surrounded by guards, and everyone in Duke Chu's mansion was there, including the servants and masters.

Even the Great Wife and Chu Mu, who had been grounded, came over.

"I believe everyone has heard about what happened in the manor. The Duke has already given his full authority to me to handle, so don't think about anything." As he said this, his gaze swept across everyone's faces. Finding a thief in Duke Chu's mansion was like finding a needle in a haystack.

When everyone heard what Jin Xuan said, all of them shrank back their necks.

Lin Xin seemed to be satisfied with everyone's reaction, but he didn't move, as if he was waiting for something.

"At this time, squads of guards came in and lined up in front of him, reporting their receipt one by one." General, no! "

As he listened to the reports below, his face grew uglier and uglier. He had ordered the guards to search every room and yard, but they didn't find any loot?

"Search carefully again, no matter where you look, you are not allowed to leave it out!" With a hint of anger in his tone, the guards immediately followed his orders and went to search.

Everyone looked at her with perturbed expressions. No one noticed that Eldest Madam's expression actually turned into one of complacency. Naturally, the culprit, Chu Moxi, was currently leaning against Lian'er as she coldly watched. Of course, she was also paying attention to the positions and factions that these people were standing in.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the guards still returned empty-handed. At the same time, Xuan Fang completely exploded. "Summon all the guards in the warehouse."

After Lin Xuan said this, the third wife's expression immediately changed.

Did she not understand what that 'Lin Xuan' meant? This meant that the person suspected was one of her people! If there was a problem, his people would have reported it long ago. That meant the warehouse would have been stolen before his people could take over!

The third wife's gaze shifted to the first wife. The pride in the first wife's eyes was something the third wife did not miss. In other words, she might have been fooled by the first wife. Ling Shan's fingernails dug into her soft skin, and she looked at the First Wife with hatred.

The guards from the four warehouses were immediately escorted up. Lin Xuan's gaze fell on them and he didn't say anything. He waved his right hand and eight guards came out to suppress the four guards.

Speak, under whose orders are you? Is there a connection? "Call me in quickly and honestly.

"General, we are wrongly accused! We've only received this warehouse for less than half a month, and we didn't even know that there was something inside. " The leader knelt on the ground, on the verge of tears.

They were all groomed by the third wife, and it wasn't easy for them to get someone to replace the first wife. They had no idea that the storehouse would be stolen before the storehouse was even found out. What kind of sin was this! Why was he so unlucky?

"I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin!" Lin Xuan's expression turned cold. With a wave of his right hand, four guards appeared out of nowhere. They all had military whips in their hands and unceremoniously whipped the four guards on their backs.
