After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space

Chapter 17 Stealing the County Magistrate’s Mansion

Back at the inn, it was already dark.

She gained a lot today. Mu Chaochao was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Thinking of Magistrate Gao she mentioned during the day, she decided to reward herself with a magistrate's palace.

There was no one on the streets at night, and the sound of the clock could be heard faintly. The silver-white moonlight shone on the earth, and the summer stars shone brightly, seeming to illuminate the road ahead for that nimble little figure.

Mu Chaochao ran to the back door of the county magistrate's house, covered his face and took out a knife to pry open the door. Fortunately, he often did this when he went out to find supplies in the last days. Mu Chaochao exhaled. Ancient doors were easier to pry open.

After entering, I first found the kitchen. It was like locusts crossing the border and harvesting everything. After I came out, I walked blindly.

An animal's breathing was heard faintly, and he followed the direction of the sound. Mu Chaochao's eyes lit up. There were two horses in the stable, and there was a big cow next to him. Mu Chaochao was so excited that he wanted to laugh, while they were sleeping. He quickly went to the space, then clapped his hands and turned out.

She had a hunch that there were many treasures in the county magistrate's mansion. Mu Chaochao kept walking along the long corridor, and a moving firelight came out of the room.

Someone! Mu Chaochao quickly hid, and then quietly followed him all the way.

A fat middle-aged man opened a room, walked to the bookshelf and clicked on the ornaments. A secret door opened and the visitor walked in.

Mu Chaochao leaned on the door and peeked. After Magistrate Gao entered the secret room, she went in and sat on a chair waiting for people to come out. After a while, she heard a noise and immediately hid in the space.

After the others walked away, Mu Chaochao ran over and opened the door of the secret room. The secret room was very bright, with four luminous pearls inlaid on the wall. He walked down the steps. More than 20 boxes of gold and silver ingots were neatly placed inside. Next to it are some precious calligraphy, paintings, jades, and medicinal materials.

Gee, you can get so much treasure in half a year. No wonder the prefect wants to change the county magistrate. Uncle Sun's "mediocre performance" is really not as good as Gao County magistrate.

Mu Chaochao walked around, and the secret room suddenly became empty. He nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went out and took away the night pearl. After leaving the secret room, he returned to the inn.

A black shadow went in another direction after she entered the room.

"Your Highness, Miss Mu took a tour of the back kitchen of the County Magistrate's Mansion and... took away two horses and a cow."

Shadow followed Mu Chaochao for a day and was still not calm about her turning things away.

"I followed Magistrate Gao to the study. My subordinates dare not follow too closely as they don't know what's going on inside."

"Little Baozi is really busy today." Ye Huaichen said with a smile: "Tianxuan, from now on Little Baozi is your master. You protect her secretly. If there is no danger, you don't have to come out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Next day's time

Mu Chaochao was still sleeping comfortably, and a busy day began in the county magistrate's office.

"What's going on? It's already midnight and breakfast hasn't been delivered yet." The magistrate slapped the table angrily.

"Sir, it's not good." The butler shouted as he ran.

"Damn slave, you are very kind." Magistrate Gao angrily hit him on the head and shouted.

"It's something bad in the kitchen. The kitchen was emptied out by thieves. Even the big water tank is gone."

"Which thief is so bold as to steal on the head of this county magistrate? Go to the warehouse to check if anything has been lost, and call for Capt. Li."

"Yes, sir." The butler went down to check the warehouse.

"Master, the cow I raised is missing." The person who came was a well-dressed woman with a well-kept face.

"Madam, I understand. The kitchen in the back room has also been stolen, and I am investigating." He wanted to know which unruly citizen was so bold.

"My lord, madam, I bought breakfast from outside. Please eat first." A slave came over with the meal.

"Madam, you eat first, I'll go to the study." Magistrate Gao thought for a while, but still didn't want to worry about going to the secret room.

Magistrate Gao almost trotted all the way to the study, opened the door and walked quickly to the bookshelf. His heart was beating more and more panicked along the way. After entering the secret room, he almost fell over when he saw that there was nothing.

Magistrate Gao crawled out of the secret room on his hands and knees and came out of the study room and shouted: "Come here, find yesterday's thief for me. The magistrate will cut him into pieces."

The housekeeper also ran over panting, "Sir, except for the kitchen and the stables, there is nothing missing anywhere else."

"Ask Capt. Li to lead people to look for clues and bring the thief to justice in three days." Gao Xian collapsed on the couch and yelled.

"Yes, sir."

"Sir, His Highness the Seventh Prince is here to visit." A government official came over to report.

"Who are you talking about?" Magistrate Gao asked again feebly.

"It's... His Highness the Seventh Prince... visiting." The officer said tremblingly.

"When will the Seventh Prince come to Feng County?" Magistrate Gao jumped up from the couch.

"The Seventh Prince arrived before dark the day before yesterday." The butler said softly. When someone from the inn came to report, the butler happened to be there.

"Are all the bastards dead? Why didn't you come and report earlier?" Magistrate Gao slapped him again.

"Master, you didn't give me the chance to speak." The housekeeper muttered quietly, and his master told him to shut up when he lost his temper.

"Let's go, this magistrate is rushing to see the seventh prince." Magistrate Gao ran out holding the hem of his official robe.

In the yamen, Ye Huaichen was sitting on the chair under the court, drinking tea, while the master stood aside tremblingly, waiting for instructions.

County Magistrate Gao ran out of the inner hall, straightened his official hat, smoothed his hem, kneeled in front of Ye Huaichen and saluted breathlessly:

"Your Majesty, Gao Song, is late to pick you up. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"County Magistrate Gao seems to be very busy?" Ye Huaichen took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Your Highness, there is a thief in the lower official's house. The back kitchen and horses were stolen by the thief. The lower official is investigating." Magistrate Gao felt bitter that he could not talk about the loss of the treasure in the secret room.

"Oh, there is such a bold thief." A smile flashed in Ye Huaichen's eyes. "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Magistrate Gao stood up with his legs supported. "I wonder how long your Highness will stay in Feng County?"

"I'll leave in three days."

"Your Highness, I will prepare your room in the County Magistrate's Mansion for you. Your Highness, please condescend to move it." County Magistrate Gao said tentatively.

"It's good not to have an inn, but the county magistrate's office is not safe." Ye Huaichen raised the corners of his mouth.

Magistrate Gao was embarrassed and wished he could find the thief right now and beat him up.

"Magistrate Gao, please tell me about the official affairs of Feng County."

………………

"Sneeze!" Mu Chaochao sneezed and woke up from his sleep.

"Little miss, you're awake. It's already past midnight." Honglian came in to fetch water and wash her up.

"Ah, it's so late, and I haven't brought breakfast to His Highness yet!" Mu Chaochao didn't expect her to wake up so late.

"Little Miss, I heard that the Seventh Highness has gone to the county office. You don't have to be nervous and take your time." Hong Lian is funny. The little miss likes the Seventh Highness very much and always hangs around His Highness.

If Mu Chaochao heard her thoughts, he would definitely tell her: This is the boss, so hold on tight.

"County government office? Hurry, there must be something good today." Mu Chaochao suddenly woke up and jumped out of bed to wash and dress.
