Chapter 265: What’s Wrong With You
This ship turns out to have three floors, they are on the top floor, in addition to the living room there are curtains and bars to cover a few rooms, this must be Duan Shu and his entourage’s residence.
They went down to the second floor, and on the left side, directly below the living room, there was also an open room. Duan Shu led them towards the four cabins on the right side, opening the door of the first of them, he saw a tin box open in the center, the box was empty, and on the ground next to it were four chains with locks on them.
The locks were certainly open at this moment.
Duan Shu said: “These locks are big locks made of red copper, I don’t dare to say that no one can open them, but the outer room is guarded, can not move in the case of someone guarding the things to be robbed, this kind of person is by no means much! Such a heavy lock, to force open it how can it not pull the chain ring?”
Speaking here, his eyes covered with red bloodshot eyes suddenly flashed with an excited light.
Zhao Su looked up at the window, this window is not big, two feet square, into a person who knows kung fu is still more than enough. However, even Duan Shu himself was skeptical about the possibility of this case, and it was also commissioned to make people bother to measure.
“In that case, everyone on the ship has been inventoried.” The Emperor started pacing around the case.
Duan Shu followed up, “All have been inventoried, everyone on the ship is there, none of them have the conditions to commit the crime. Including the three people on watch. And at that time I was upstairs, heard the yell also came down, also really saw someone escape through the window! Just chased for a while, in the end still did not catch up.”
The emperor put the lock and chain are in the hands of repeated look, did not say more, got up and looked around, then said “lock this house, do not let people come in, wait for the officials to come and then open.”
“…… Yes.”
Duan Shu bowed his head to lead the order.
The emperor crossed the threshold, and the guards said: “Go prepare the horse, back to the city.”
Duanshu dare not stay? Hearing this, he hurriedly led the way.
At once, a boat full of people came out to see them off.
Zhao Su along with the guards folded out, just out of the deck, suddenly was grabbed by the wrist, a look is Luo Yi, is looking at her sweat stained: “You this gentleman, in the end, who is it?”
Zhao Su did not have time to speak, next to the Han Jun has been inserted over, eyes like a knife glared at him, and then moved his eyes to his hand in Zhao Su’s wrist: “If you do not let go, our son will come to personally tell you who he is.”
Obviously, it was a remark as usual, but Luo Yi’s hands trembled when he heard it, and immediately bounced back.
Zhao Su glanced at Han Jun, clearing his throat, with catching up with the emperor.
……
A group of people along with the wharf crowd to the shore, although try to low-key, but the emperor’s outstanding temperament and behind the heroic guards still attracted some people side-eye. Duan Shu has been escorted to the pier, out of his line of sight, Zhao Su rushed to the emperor: “see what?”
The emperor looked back at the ship, reached out and flicked his sleeve, and so Han Jun quite tacitly with the guards backed away from a long distance, then said: “I remember Duan Shu martial arts is good.”
This is not strange, as the old Weiyuan Hou’s disciple who has been through hundreds of battles, and now follows the Weiyuan Hou to guard the border in Guangxi, how the martial arts has also been honed out. Otherwise, the Marquis of Wei Yuan would not be assured that he came out to escort the ship. Zhao Su waited for him to follow.
“There is only one boat in total, if it is locked and still stolen, either the person who is involved with it is a great person, or they are the ones who supervise the theft.”
Zhao Su stared: “But Duan Shu said all the trial, no one has a problem.” She paused, then said, “I don’t think he’s lying.”
Duan Shu is also an eighteen-year-old teenager, if he said that his face is haggard, red bloodshot eyes, as well as in the face of the emperor’s excitement, all are pretending, then Zhao Su is very admirable him. Not to mention that some of the suspicions were raised by Duan Shu himself.
“If it’s really going to be done that way, then of course Duan Shu won’t know about it.” The emperor folded the whip in his hand, and said: “In fact, the eldest princess sacrificed herself just before the world was settled, and this time does make people a little sad. And according to the late emperor, that battle originally did not need to make that big of a sacrifice.”
Zhao Su know twenty-three years ago the late emperor in Yanjing fixed capital ascension to the throne, there are still a few places in the south of the remainder of the invaders rebellion, then the Princess and the Marquis of Weiyuan took the initiative to volunteer to go south, and set up a military order to clear the mess after the party to return to the capital after receiving the seal of the horse on the South Mountain. Who knows later …… when the King of Liang gas shocked the four fields, clearing the messy party really is not a big problem, but the Princess or something happened.
Even Zhao Su this outsider will feel sorry for her, Wei Yuan Hou young mother loss mood, can be imagined.
“It’s a pity that I won’t have the chance to look up to the Eldest Princess anymore.”
The Emperor sniffed: “There is a portrait of her in the Zongzheng Courtyard, painted by a Western artist, the painting is quite similar, you can also see it when you have the chance.”
Zhao Su nodded.
The emperor added: “In any case, there must be some reason for the loss of this remnant armor. It must be important, at least to the person who stole it.”
“Then how do we catch him?”
The Emperor lifted his foot and paced two steps, “Isn’t Duan Shu going to report it to the officials? It is to be handed over to the three divisions to investigate first, and then we’ll listen to what Marquis Weiyuan, who is the owner of the object, has to say. Although I can’t ignore this matter, I can’t go over his head. Moreover, we are still unclear as to what value this battle armor has to others.”
Zhao Su thought deeply. After all, this is first and foremost a family matter of the Weiyuan Marquis, whether it is related to the court or not, we still have to listen to what the Weiyuan Marquis has to say.
She looked at the stars in the sky and asked, “Then are we still going back?”
“Go back,” the emperor decisively said, “gave the court so many days buffer, after the imperial decree should also be issued.”
“……”
Zhao Su is often caught off guard by the emperor’s overly agile thinking, for example, she thought that this time to mention the issue of going to stay has been abrupt, who knows that the emperor has jumped to the establishment of the matter of the queen ……
“This, in fact, I don’t think there’s any rush.” She said, “Anyway, you’ve been single for twenty years, it’s not at this moment.”
The emperor looked at her askance, “Although I have been single for twenty years and am not in a hurry to get married, the marriage contract has to be established first.”
“Why?”
The emperor stroked the horse whip, slowly said: “Naturally because you have a love to call the little herdsman to serve the banquet, and love to touch people’s chest odor, the key is the amount of alcohol is not good, I have to guard against a little.”
“……”
Zhao Su was once again speechless. Followed him to pace forward, one side spat: “Then I do not also have to guard against you, earlier on the dock when how many women look at you!
“Although you promised not to take a consort, but also did not say that you do not outside to twist the flowers to mess with the grass, in history there is a Han Wu emperor, go to a sister’s home on a trip to the favor of a Wei Zifu it.”
The emperor grinned, reached out and gently pressed the back of her neck: “That’s why the two of us are half a catty, how good it would be to set up the marriage contract earlier. It will take about a year before we can get married!”
