Chapter 373 King Qi will not let her go easily
"Yes! Doctor Du! Look! Take a good look. Is my wealth enough to buy the muskets of Dongchen Country?"
Du Wanwan sneered: "I have seen it, now please let the King of Qi see it for himself! Is it fun to play tricks on this princess?"
"What's the meaning?"
The King of Qi looked over and his face turned pale in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes again and again, and saw that the rows of wooden shelves were still standing intact.
The gold and silver ingots, antique calligraphy and paintings, jade, pearls, agate, and precious medicinal materials that were supposed to be placed on it are all gone.
All gone.
Looking back at the other side of the warehouse, again, everything was gone.
The entire warehouse is cleaner than after a thief had visited it.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?" The King of Qi flew up and landed in front of the two lamplighters. He pointed at the empty wooden shelves and said angrily, his eyes reddened. "Tell me, what is going on?"
The two people who lit the lamps turned around and their eyes widened to the limit.
The taller one blurted out, "I don't know. We came in yesterday for a routine inspection and everything was still there. How come everything is gone when we came in today?"
The shorter one, however, squatted on the ground, breathing heavily, with an extremely ugly expression. He knew very well that the warehouse had been robbed, which was a serious crime.
Moreover, something unexpected happened during their tenure, and they were doomed to die, along with their entire family.
Du Wanwan had been standing far away without moving or speaking. At this moment, the King of Qi must have collapsed and gone mad. From his bloodshot eyes, it can be seen that he was mad.
The money in the treasury disappeared, not only could not buy the musket, but the most important thing was humiliation. Losing face in front of him was more embarrassing than anything else.
"The king trusted you so much that he entrusted the important warehouse to you, and this is what you did? You didn't even know the warehouse was emptied? And you still dare to argue that the things you had when you came in yesterday were still there?"
The King of Qi stretched out his hand to twist off the heads of the two men and kick them like a ball, but was stopped by Du Wanwan. After all, the two men were also wronged. It was she who wanted to empty the King of Qi's warehouse, and it had nothing to do with them.
If I want to punish them, I will wait until I'm gone. I feel a little guilty watching people die in front of me.
If you want to kill her or chop her up, why not wait until she leaves? Why rush?
"Don't rush to punish them. Think about how to make them atone for their crimes!" Du Wanwan kindly reminded the King of Qi, "If you want to kill them, who will give you the clues? To move such a large warehouse, it's probably not done by one person, but a group of people."
The meaning was very clear. The Prince Qi's mansion was like a sieve with leaks all over it. A group of people emptied his warehouse, but he didn't know anything about it.
He paused with his raised hand, feeling that what Dr. Du said made sense.
It is impossible for one person to empty out such a large warehouse of silver. It could be a gang, a gang that specifically targets him and cooperates with him from both inside and outside.
The two people who lit the lamps thought they would die today, but they did not expect to be saved by this young gentleman. They both looked at Du Wanwan with gratitude.
There was a look of relief on their faces for surviving the disaster. As long as they were given some time, they would be able to find the hateful thief.
"Think about it carefully. Have any suspicious people appeared near the warehouse recently? You have seven days to give me an accurate answer, otherwise..."
Otherwise, if he didn't say anything, it must not be anything good.
Du Wanwan retreated outside the warehouse. She didn't want to see Ouyang Qing's murderous look, so she was thinking about how to get out.
After losing such a big man in front of her, the King of Qi probably won't let her go easily. When a man is in a bad mood, he wants to destroy everything he sees.
As soon as she left, the King of Qi chased her out with a gloomy face and said nothing.
He was waiting for Du Wanwan's humiliation and ridicule. He walked several steps, walked out of the rockery, and came to the lotus pond, but he didn't hear her say a word.
Ouyang Qing was very angry and said coldly: "Doctor Du! Are you laughing at my stupidity in your heart?"
Du Wanwan turned around and responded with a look of sarcasm: "Whom this princess wants to laugh at is always clearly written on her face. Do I need to laugh secretly in my heart?
King Qi! If you have the guts to cause trouble here, you might as well make plans to catch the people who stole from the warehouse.
This is so funny. There must be at least several million taels of silver in such a large warehouse! How could it be completely emptied? Could it be that except for you, the Prince of Qi, everyone in your Qi Palace is a thief?
Or is it that you don't have half a tael of silver in your treasury, and you are just playing a trick on me? Next time I bring up this matter, please be sincere, King Qi."
After saying that, Du Wanwan walked forward quickly. The King of Qi was already on the verge of a rage. Her words probably angered him. It would be better for her to leave the King of Qi's mansion as soon as possible.
"Doctor Du cannot leave." The King of Qi stopped Du Wanwan, "My storehouse was robbed, this is a serious matter, and it needs to be kept secret.
This prince wants to block the news. It is extremely inappropriate for Doctor Du to leave the palace at this moment. Wait until the palace has a definite clue before leaving!"
Du Wanwan smiled faintly and cursed "MMP" countless times in her heart. She knew that King Qi would not let her go easily.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as he can withstand the pressure from behind, she doesn’t care whether he goes out or not.
What does the theft in the Qi Wang Mansion have to do with her leaving the mansion? Is she afraid that she will reveal his secret? It is simply unreasonable.
"Oh! King Qi, are you kidding me? I don't even know whether your storehouse was stolen or not, and you still want to detain me?" Du Wanwan laughed out loud, "King Qi! You don't have a single penny in your storehouse, and now you tell me it was stolen? Don't you think it's ridiculous?
I don't mind if you want to detain me, but I don't know if I can handle it later. Don't forget, I'm a doctor at the West City People's Clinic."
"So what?" The King of Qi disagreed. "What's wrong with the doctor? No matter who it is, if they know the secrets of my palace, they must be used by me, otherwise..."
"What? Kill without mercy?" The mockery on Du Wanwan's face was too obvious. "King Qi! Don't forget your illness. Without this doctor, you would die of pain one day without knowing it."
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned his illness, the King of Qi felt a dull pain in his stomach, but it was not as severe as before.
"You need to have the capital to speak arrogantly. If you don't have the capital, you'd better not speak arrogantly." Du Wanwan walked forward slowly, "You can stay. If anything happens, please let the king of Qi take responsibility."
"What can go wrong?" The King of Qi didn't take it seriously. Even though he had a stomachache, he gritted his teeth and endured it. "I'm just going to let Doctor Du stay for a few days. Nothing will go wrong."
"Okay! I will do as you say." Du Wanwan said, striding forward, "Let's go back to the reception room. I know the way. King Qi, please do your work. Catch the murderer as soon as possible so that I can go home soon."
