Chapter 209: Red Mansion Lady Xing 29
The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was tense. Grandmother Jia looked solemn, and was obviously very worried about the theft. She was afraid that she would be the next one to be robbed, so she called Yuanyang to check the warehouse early after hearing the news. Mrs. Wang anxiously explained the whole thing to Grandmother Jia, hoping that Grandmother Jia could help her recover her savings.
Xing Yuling stood aside, quietly observing all this, laughing secretly in her heart. She knew that this theft would bring great trouble to Mrs. Wang, and perhaps affect her status in the Jia family.
At this time, Jia She came hurriedly after receiving the news. He came over with a curious look on his face and asked Mrs. Wang with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that a lot of good things were lost from your storehouse! How many are there?"
"Okay, stop being so frivolous at this time!" Grandmother Jia looked at the eldest son Jia She impatiently, feeling irritated. She thought of the lost property of the second son's wife, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Most of these things would be left to Baoyu in the future, and they couldn't just disappear like this. Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia frowned even more tightly.
The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was getting more and more tense, and everyone was waiting for Grandmother Jia's decision. Xing Yuling, on the other hand, was silently enjoying the feeling of victory at the moment.
"Master, you are finally here!" Wang was so excited when she saw Jia Zheng that she almost cried. She wiped her tears and cried to Jia Zheng: "My storehouse was robbed! I really don't know what to do!"
Jia Zheng frowned and said comfortingly, "Madam, please don't worry. Tell me slowly. What happened?"
Wang choked up and said, "I went to the warehouse to get something this morning, but the door was locked and the valuables inside were gone. I have asked people to look for it everywhere, but they still can't find it. I really don't know what to do..." As she spoke, Wang couldn't help crying again.
Jia Zheng's heart sank when he heard this. The storeroom contained all the property his wife had accumulated over the years. If these properties were lost, it would have a great impact on his life. He hurriedly asked, "Madam, how much property was lost?"
Wang sobbed and replied, "I haven't had time to count, but I think the loss is not small. I am really heartbroken!"
Jia Zheng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He knew that now was not the time to panic and he had to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. He pondered for a moment and said to Jia's mother, "Mother, we should check to see if there has been any theft in our storehouse. Is it only Wang's that was robbed?"
"I don't need to look, my things are not missing," said Jia She, who was sitting next to him, saying that he had checked the warehouse before he came and nothing was missing.
Jia Zheng turned to look at his elder brother, "Brother, this matter is of great importance and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Let's report it to the authorities first, and then send some people to search the mansion to see if there are any clues left."
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly.
Grandmother Jia pondered for a moment, "Well, that's fine. But this thief dared to steal in the Jia Mansion, so he must be quite familiar with the situation in the mansion. Let's not make this matter public for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Yes, mother." Jia Zheng replied.
At this time, Xing Yuling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "In my opinion, this thief might commit crimes again. Why don't we set a trap and lure him in?"
Everyone looked at each other and thought that this method was feasible.
Thus, a carefully planned arrest operation was quietly launched in the Jia Mansion...
Martial law was put in place in Rongguo Mansion, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The guards of the public and private warehouses gathered in a circle, and the servants and guards were busy with serious expressions. They were divided into small groups, and there was a patrol team every three steps, closely monitoring every corner of the mansion. These patrol leaders were retired elite veterans, with neat and powerful steps, and vigilant and focused eyes, as if they were ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.
Xing Yuling deliberately picked a suitable time, during which there were no patrols passing by. She carefully observed the surrounding environment from a distance of ten meters with her spiritual sense, making sure she would not be discovered. Then, she used the body-building technique that she had just made some progress in, and her body became unusually light, as if she had lost weight. Her steps were brisk and flexible, and she easily avoided everyone without attracting anyone's attention.
Under the cover of night, he quietly came to Jia's courtyard. After some exploration, he finally found the location of the storehouse. At this moment, there was silence all around, only the faint moonlight shone down, illuminating the door of the storehouse. There were many servants ambushing in the dark, their eyes were fixed on him.
Xing Yuling was worrying about how to get in.
At this moment, the spirit of the space suddenly spoke.
"Master, go back to the space and I will take you in."
"Spirit, you're awake"
Xing Yuling was very surprised. The spirit of the weapon had been sleeping for the past eight years and had not woken up.
"Master, do you know? Because those jade artifacts you threw into the space before, they contain rich energy. And all this energy was absorbed by me! This is also the reason why I was able to wake up early. Now, after being nourished by these jades, my spiritual consciousness has become even stronger." The spirit of the artifact happily transformed into a human form in front of the master, spinning around to show off.
"Master, you can now control the change of position in this space through your thoughts!" the spirit of the weapon said excitedly.
She widened her eyes, her face full of surprise: "Really? Then I'll try..."
Xing Yuling concentrated her mind and tried to control the space to move. The space flickered slightly and slowly approached the warehouse. The space ignored the thick wall in front of it and passed through it directly. The people outside did not notice anything and continued to stare at the warehouse.
She looked around cautiously and saw that the dark warehouse was filled with all kinds of precious items.
She did not dare to take out the flashlight, fearing that the reflection would be seen by the window outside. She did not care about anything and asked the spirit to help her put all the things into the space. At this time, she could not care about so much. She just wanted to take all the treasures away quickly and not leave any chance for others. She was like a greedy little mouse, not letting go of any corner, and putting everything she could get into her pocket. Especially since Jia Mu was in charge of Rongguo Mansion for most of her life, she controlled countless wealth. Her own dowry alone was ten miles of red makeup, and the value of the items on the shelves inside even exceeded all of Mrs. Wang's warehouses!
In the innermost part were piles of boxes, neatly arranged and sealed. Xing Yuling looked at the boxes with some curiosity in her heart, but she did not open them. Instead, she touched the boxes directly with her spiritual sense and instantly put them into her own space. As the boxes were put into the space one by one, the originally empty space became lively. The boxes were neatly stacked together to form a small mountain. After the last box was also put into the space, Xing Yuling was secretly glad that she was not discovered. She took a deep breath and quickly flashed into the space. Then, she used her ability to control the space and returned to her residence in the East Courtyard quietly and silently.
