Chapter 1725: A thief came out of the house
On the other side, when Su Cheng hurried back to the government office in a hurry, he ran into the housekeeper who came on.
He immediately asked: "Butler, how is it, is the fire extinguished?"
The housekeeper wrinkled an old face and said in confusion, "Master, the young one went to see, there is no fire in our mansion. That is, a few wet straws were lit, and such a huge smoke came out. I don't know who it is. I deliberately ordered wet grass in the four corners of the government office to make such a big noise."
"What? Then why did everyone shout on fire just now?" Su Cheng said anxiously.
"Maybe someone saw the thick smoke and thought it was a fire, so they shouted everywhere to remind everyone. I didn't expect that it was not a fire at all, but someone was playing a prank." The butler analyzed.
Su Cheng suddenly squinted his eyes, "Who is it that dares to engage in pranks in the official's office?"
"Master, our house has always been peaceful. This kind of thing didn't happen until Young Master Chu and his party came. You said, was this incident caused by them?" The housekeeper narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Chu?" Su Cheng mentioned this name, a suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"My lord, it turns out that you are here so I can find it easily." At this moment, an elegant and indifferent voice came from the path next to it.
Su Cheng hurriedly looked back and saw Chu Xuanchen dressed in white, walking towards Yun Ruoyue, who was wearing a veil, a little anxiously.
A touch of chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed on his face, "This night, what happened to Lord Chu looking for the official?"
"I heard that there was a fire outside, so I wanted to remind adults to pay attention to safety. Adults, are you okay?" Chu Xuanchen said lightly.
"The officer is okay, thank you for your concern. Son, your husband and wife are not scared, right?" Su Cheng asked.
His eyes stared at Chu Xuanchen suspiciously, wanting to see if there was any guilty conscience on his face.
It's a pity that Chu Xuanchen's expression is very calm, and he doesn't feel guilty at all when he looks at it.
Chu Xuanchen shook his head, "My lord, don't worry, we are fine. It's just a good idea. Why is there a fire around this mansion? My lord, is there a thief in this mansion?"
Su Cheng stared at Chu Xuanchen sullenly, with even more suspicion in his eyes, "It was not a fire, but someone pranked and deliberately lit the wet grass around, trying to create the illusion of a fire! This must be someone with ulterior motives, the former official. The government offices are all fine, I don't know why this happened this time?"
The implication is that Chu Xuanchen and the others came to the government office before the accident happened, and it must have something to do with them.
Chu Xuanchen curled his lips lightly, noncommittal.
"Master, it's okay. The little one saw a masked thief in night clothes. He sneaked into your wing to steal things." At this moment, not far away, there was a panicked voice from a Jia Ding.
"What? You said that there was a thief in the house, and you were stealing things from the official?" Su Cheng said angrily.
Chu Xuanchen also said: "My lord, when I talked about it, I also remembered it. Just now there was a masked man in black who sneaked into the yard where I lived. After being found by my guard, he ran away. You said, Will they be alone?"
"What? Did you have a thief in your yard?" Su Cheng was dumbfounded.
It seems that the incident of this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Chu, he is also a victim.
At this time, the family Ding Cheng said in fear: "Master, after seeing the culprit coming out of your room, he went to..."
"Where to go? Don't you say it quickly!" Su Cheng said anxiously.
