Chapter 33 Counterfeit Products
At this time, Luo Ming didn't know that the emperor had gone crazy.
That’s right, without even the imperial seal, how can we issue imperial edicts and stamp them in the future?
Yue Fuli was kind enough to give the emperor a counterfeit product. But something was better than nothing. At least it could fool him for a while until the real thing was found.
But he didn't know who really took it away, so where should he look for it?
The emperor was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. When he attended court the next morning, his eyes were full of dark circles.
The ministers were a little worried when they saw that the emperor looked like he hadn't slept well. They thought that the emperor was like this because he had spent too long playing with one of his concubines at night.
Only a few well-informed people knew what had happened.
The treasury was heavily guarded, yet someone broke in as if no one was there and not only took away things but also did not get discovered.
To be honest, this incident made some ministers who originally did not believe in ghosts and gods couldn't help but wonder if it was ghosts. Otherwise, how could so many people not see the things being moved away?
After all the civil and military officials in the court knew that the national treasury had been stolen, they finally understood why the emperor had dark circles under his eyes.
As a minister, you would be anxious if you heard such news, let alone the emperor?
Luo Ming also came to court despite being sick. He learned that the national treasury had been robbed, but there was no movement in the prison. He couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.
Combined with what Doctor Liu said yesterday, Luo Ming completely dispelled his suspicions about the Yue family.
After the court was dismissed, the emperor called Luo Ming to the Qinzheng Hall again and asked her about the results of her test.
"Your Majesty, our men have been on guard all night, but not a single one from the Yue family has come out."
"In other words, the thief is not from the Yue family?"
"It should be."
"Who could it be?"
"I am investigating."
The emperor listened to Luo Ming's words and didn't say anything else. However, seeing that his complexion was even worse than his own, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Lord Luo, you look very bad. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The imperial physician arrived soon, and after taking Luo Ming's pulse, he said directly, "Lord Luo, you should take good care of your body and think less."
After hearing this, the emperor thought Luo Ming was concerned about the Yue family's affairs, and he couldn't help but advise, "Lord Luo, take care of your health first. You can leave other things to others."
"Your humble servant obeys your order."
The emperor had spoken, so Luo Ming naturally felt relieved. He handed the matter of the disappearance of the Cha Yue family's warehouse over to his subordinates and went home to recuperate.
The subordinates happened to hear that Luo Ming's study and the national treasury were taken away by thieves, so they thought that Yue's treasury was also stolen.
Therefore, he did not bother the Yue family anymore and left them in prison, waiting for the emperor's decree of exile.
No one came to cause trouble, and the Yue family's second branch finally felt relieved. However, as time passed, no one came to protect them, and they became worried again.
Even though they were imprisoned, the people from the second branch of the Yue family never thought that they would really be exiled.
But now, as time went by, the emperor showed no sign of releasing them. Furthermore, none of the people they had been counting on had ever come to visit them in the prison, and the second branch's hopes gradually faded.
Three days passed in a flash, and the thief had not been caught. Although the Yue family's warehouse was gone, their property outside was still there.
