After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 350 Empty
Situ Kongkong became even more depressed.

Yu Linlang pushed the door open and said calmly, "Go back and wait for my news. Since Xiao Fang has been admitted to the sect, you should take good care of him. If you have nothing to do, you can send him to study and learn riding and archery. Don't let him be idle all day long."

"Since you are raising a child, you should take good care of him. He will be able to be a filial son to you in the future."

After saying that, he left, leaving Situ Kongkong with a bitter face.

After a while, he turned to Murong Chi, pointed at his nose and asked, "I am so young and handsome, do I need a son to be filial to me? I am already in my seventies or eighties?"

Murong Chi couldn't help laughing.

Yu Linlang went back to the next room, looking as if nothing had happened, and happily had a reunion dinner with her parents and brother.

After the show, Mrs. Su was very unhappy to learn that her daughter did not return to the Su Mansion by herself.

Yu Linlang took her mother by the hand and persuaded Su's father and mother to go home. Then she hurried back to the courtyard, changed into men's clothes and rushed back to the Jingzhao government office.

When the government officials saw him visiting so late at night, they thought something big had happened.

Upon asking, Wu Yong learned that they came for Xiao Fang's child. He couldn't help laughing, "Sir, you really scared me to death. I thought something big had happened again!"

"It's okay. The child is too young to be sentenced. Seven days of hard labor is just a scare. It's impossible to really let such a young child move stones and mud to build roads. At most, he can sweep the streets. Just fine him for one or two days to scare the child."

"Didn't the two Shangshu wives keep accusing them of stealing from their Shangshu Mansion?"

"Yes, this Minister Liu's wife also sent a list this morning. In addition to the two jade bracelets and a pair of jade and pearl earrings that were missing last time, it seems that they were stolen several times later."

"It is true that the thief came and went without a trace. Although the things he stole were not many, it was very unsettling. It felt like the thief stole things as easily as taking something out of a bag. He came and went in the mansion like a ghost. If he wanted to kill him and his wife, it would be very easy."

Yu Linlang laughed, "After all this talk, it turns out you're afraid of death."

It's not that I really want to investigate those stolen items.

It is the fear of the invisible thief who comes and goes like the wind that makes them feel helpless.

"Yes, sir. But Lord Chitu has already taken people to investigate this matter, and has arrested the real thief."

"Oh?" Yu Linlang became interested as soon as she heard it. "Who is it?"

"You should have seen them too. They were the dwarf street performers we ran into that day."

"They?" Yu Linlang became more and more curious. "These people are short, so it would be easy for them to crawl through the wall. Could it be that they all have some martial arts skills?"

She didn't look at it carefully that day and didn't pay attention to this aspect.

Wu Yong couldn't help laughing. "It's quite interesting to say that those dwarfs do have some basic skills. But the weapon they use for their daily thefts is a monkey."

"They would sneak around the wealthy families every now and then to scout out the area. After doing that, they would send monkeys to break into the houses and steal things at night. Strangely enough, although the monkeys looked like... coal, they were very agile and could pick things up. They could steal a lot of those glittering jewelry at a time."

"Master Chitu took Master Xiaogu and his men to the Liu and Gong mansions to inspect the scene. They found several very strange little footprints in the corner. They waited for two nights before they caught the monkey."

Yu Linlang was greatly surprised, "So...the dwarfs were all released?"

"No." Wu Yong also looked surprised when he said this, "So this is the most amazing part. The monkey's owners were clearly imprisoned by us a few days ago. Due to various factors such as confirming their identities and origins, we have never released them."

"As a result, the monkey, whether out of habit or familiar with the instructions, had to go to the Liu and Gong mansions every day to take away a few pieces of jewelry from the ladies. It had to go there!"

Yu Linlang laughed, "Then... where's the monkey?" "It's locked up in jail." Wu Yong looked troubled, "It's not a crime punishable by death. We can't kill it now, but we can't let it go either, for fear that if we let it go, it will go to other people's homes every night and steal something."

Yu Linlang laughed out loud, "If that's the case, why did Madam Liu and Madam Gong insist on accusing Xiao Fang of stealing and punishing him?"

Wu Yong resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "It's because the wife of the Minister of Justice is so nosy that she insisted that our investigation was wrong, saying that it was impossible for a monkey to break into the mansion and steal. It's obviously ridiculous."

"She had a bit of a fight with the kid on the street that day, and she was probably too embarrassed to save her face, so she wanted to kill him. Madam Liu was fine, and we told her about the situation and returned all the jewelry to her. Madam Liu immediately said that she could drop the case. But Madam Gong didn't want to, and she kept staring at the kid..."

After Yu Linlang understood the situation, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, then it's okay. She should know tomorrow that she has wronged someone else's child."

Wu Yong exclaimed "Ah", not understanding what he heard. Seeing Lord Yuhu walking out with a relaxed pace, he could not help but follow him out to see him off, "Goodbye, Lord."

Yu Linlang waved her hand to signal him not to see her off, and left the Jingzhao government office happily.

Wei Ling walked out the door and took a look, "What are you looking at, Wu Bantou?"

"Oh, I'll see you off, Master Yuhu."

"Ah?" Wei Ling stretched her head to look, but the jade fox was no longer visible in the night.

"Ms. Yuhu, what's the big deal at this time of night? Have you told her about Madam Wang?"

Wu Yong exclaimed, "Oh my!", his face changed, "Your Excellency came here for that child Xiao Fang, I forgot for a moment..."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Wei Ling waved her hand casually, "Master Yuhu should come to work tomorrow."

If you don’t come, just send someone to invite you.

Yu Linlang whistled softly as she left the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.

A black wolf appeared like lightning in the night, followed by an old white ape.

"Why are you following me?"

The old white ape danced with joy.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you out for a walk, but don't make any noise or scream."

The old white ape excitedly pounced on her side, staring at her with his big stupid eyes wide open.

"Let's go to a fun place and let you appreciate my skills in moving mountains." Yu Linlang smiled proudly, jumped onto the wolf's back, and disappeared into the darkness like lightning.

The night wind blew past the dark door lintel of the Minister of Justice's mansion.

A white light flashed suddenly.

The night watchman who passed by the door raised the lantern in his hand, rubbed his eyes and looked over. There was no one on the street.

Yu Linlang used a thin thread to pick open the door lock, stood in the storeroom of Gong Mansion and looked around, feeling quite emotional, "Tsk tsk, blinded by greed, totally devoid of conscience, look at how much of the people's blood and sweat is in this storehouse."

There were five priceless red coral trees alone, plus all kinds of gold, silver, and treasures, as well as brocade boxes of various sizes.

"All that glitters is rotten!"
