Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

When Xia Bai'an returned to the mansion, he naturally didn't know that he had caused a big mess on Yun Xue with a casual remark.

She went about her business as usual.

It was not until the second day that some rumors were heard in the market.

She was about to go to the Forbidden Army Garden with Mo Che to count the medicinal materials in stock and catch two thieves who had stolen the medicinal materials from the Forbidden Army Garden. On the way, she found a good bakery and sat down to eat and drink.

Mo Che said: "The people in the Forbidden Army Garden have been demoted by the emperor a lot, and the people inside are panic-stricken. Before, the people in the warehouse caused a disturbance and were expelled, but now some new people have come here, but their hands and feet are not clean. No time for them."

Xia Bai'an nodded and took a bite of the meatloaf.

"That's why you asked me to go over and take a look, I understand, but is there any problem in the Forbidden Army Garden?"

"You suspect that someone sneaked into the storeroom, not just for medicinal materials?" Mo Che raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xia Bai'an nodded: "That's the Forbidden Army Garden. Most of the Forbidden Army Garden is filled with medicines for blood and sores. These things are not particularly expensive. If you steal too much, you will provoke the imperial court. It is a loss-making business no matter what. If someone It is possible to use these things deliberately to do something."

"But, you don't have to worry about it."

Mo Che raised his eyes.

Looking at each other, Xia Bai'an now roughly understands what Mo Che meant - he just needs to find the person who was caught doing tampering, and solve it.

As for whether or not this matter should be traced to the source, it is actually not important.

Xia Bai'an asked him: "Speaking of which, are you planning to stir up trouble, or just... don't want to cause disturbances in the Forbidden Army Garden?"

"Both. Don't have storms, muddy water..."

Before Mo Che could finish speaking, many people had already walked into the shop and sat down scatteredly.

Like women who just came back from the fish market, dozens of people came in one after another, and soon filled up the small bakery. Mo Che and Xia Bai'an didn't want to talk too much about it, and lowered their heads to eat.

It was also at this time that some rumors were heard.

"The prime minister's concubine's daughter is really weird. She invited the prime minister's mansion to support her within a few days after her marriage. It seems that the prime minister has lost his temper."

"Who doesn't know that the prime minister treasures his own daughter the most. Although the fifth prince belongs to the royal family, he is a ruthless striker. He beat the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. Naturally, he wants to come."

"Oh, it's the young lady of a rich family who is delicate and delicate. If you put it in our hands, whoever girl and boy have not been beaten before, what a fuss!"

"That must be because we are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. How can we compare with the daughter of the prime minister's mansion and the prince!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the fifth prince's mansion has not been peaceful recently, there have been disasters, let's talk more about the things in that mansion, maybe disasters will come, so I don't want to talk about it."

Hearing that this misfortune might be coming, the women quickly shut up and did not speak, but winked and winked as a signal, which was quite noisy.

Xia Bai'an heard it in his ears: "The fifth prince should be reprimanded for beating his wife."

But Mo Che said, "Tsk, I'm afraid there will be a storm over this matter."

Xia Baian smiled: "There are disturbances every day. Of course, you should take care of your family's happiness first. You have to worry about this and that. Why don't you think about looking for mice in your Forbidden Army Garden later. After you find them, you have to follow the vines to investigate clearly. Or turn a blind eye and close one eye and let people go."

Saying that, Xia Bai'an handed over a bowl of rice wine and put it in his hand.

Mo Che came back to his senses.

Indeed, that is what matters to them.

After eating and drinking enough, the two came to the Forbidden Army Garden to deal with this matter. The newcomers looked at Xia Bai'an squatting beside him looking for clues, and their mouths were dirty.

"Whose wife is running around outside every day."

"I heard that women are not allowed in the Forbidden Army Garden before, why did you make an exception and call her here today?"

"The clues that we can't find, what can she find! It's ridiculous!"

The reckless man listened beside him, and angrily slapped each of them on the head.

"The captain's wife is also something you can talk about!"

"..."

Several soldiers were listless and silent.

On the contrary, Xia Bai'an found a little bit of mud in the corner, and also found rags from the corner, and put these things away and handed them to Mo Che's subordinates.

"The mud is all dry and dark in color, it looks like mud from the bamboo forest outside Beijing."

"Yeah." Mo Che nodded and ordered someone to write it down.

"This rag doesn't look like a good material, but judging by the weaver, it might be something from two embroidery workshops in the west of the city. Just ask someone to check it out."

Xia Bai'an said again, and then walked to Mo Che's side, and took his hand, "Also, I found a gray palm print on the window, the hand is probably half a knuckle smaller than yours, the little finger Very short."

Mo Che measured his hand, and said calmly, "You found out so quickly?"

Xia Bai'an shook his head: "It's just a clue. I didn't guess whether it was the warehouse guards who committed the crime, or whether they were in collusion with the people in the imperial army. Check it out yourself. I'll go check the inventory."

After finishing speaking, she naturally left Mo Che's side, and called the reckless man to check things inside.

Those who looked down on Xia Bai'an just now all opened their eyes wide.

Can you tell which piece of land it is from just by looking at a clod of mud?

Naturally, they didn't know that Xia Bai'an and Zhang Qianqian had traveled all over the suburbs of Beijing to do soil research.

Here, in less than half a day, Mo Che found out that two people from the warehouse had colluded with a recruit, and not only stole the medicinal materials in the warehouse, but also stole other things along the way.

Mo Che directly handed him over to the government.

When Qi Weiguo came back, Mo Che was cleaning his hands and resting with Xia Bai'an. Xia Bai'an wiped his hands, and leaned lazily on the chair in Mo Che's room. He raised his beautiful eyes slightly, as if he was greeting Qi Weiguo.

Qi Weiguo only nodded slightly, but felt strange.

I always feel that Mo Che raised his wife even more arrogantly.

"How are things going?" he asked.

"There is a lot of scum, and the three of them only said that they stole something, but I still doubt their purpose." Mo Che replied.

Qi Weiguo asked: "Oh? What's the purpose?"

Mo Che said: "That recruit is very skilled, judging by the way, he looks like he came from the fiefdom of King Li, and after checking the documents of origin, he is the man from the fiefdom of King Li."

"..."

Li Wang.

This prince has not been released by the emperor for a long time, and he even stayed in Beijing to treat him well, because the emperor was afraid of the military power in his hands, and Li Wang even had contact with several generals at the border.

But now that Sun Taiwei is no longer trusted, the emperor is in a dilemma.

If King Li really sent people to the Forbidden Army Garden to investigate something, it would be a bit scary.

"I will report this matter to the emperor. Before that, there will be no more people in the Forbidden Army Garden."

"Ah."

Mo Che replied, and after Qi Weiguo left, he lowered his head slightly.

However, Xia Bai'an narrowed his eyes: "Did I read it wrong? Why do you feel that the Forbidden Army Garden is inconveniently staffed? Are you happy?"
