Chapter 6 Fifty Strike
"Keep them under guard. Everyone else, follow me and confiscate their property!"
After the imperial edict was announced, Luo Ming gave an order, and everyone in the mansion was instantly surrounded by the imperial guards. The second wife was immediately unhappy to see that she would be detained along with the first wife.
"Sir, our second branch has nothing to do with the first branch. If you want to confiscate the property, just confiscate the first branch directly. What does it have to do with our second branch?"
"Sir, our second branch hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you keeping us under surveillance?"
"Sir, wait a minute, don't leave, I haven't finished talking yet."
Luo Ming ignored the shouts of the people from the second house behind him and went straight to the storehouse of the general's mansion with his family.
However, when they arrived at the warehouse in a mighty procession and saw that it was so empty that there was not even a mouse, they were all dumbfounded?
"Sir, could we be mistaken? This place doesn't look like the general's warehouse at all."
"Yes, sir, there is nothing here?"
Luo Ming looked at the empty storehouse with a dark face. Could he really say that this was the storehouse of the General's Mansion? You know, he had the blueprints of the entire General's Mansion in his hands, and these blueprints were given to him by the emperor himself.
But what about the things in this warehouse? Where did they go?
Could it be that the people in the general's mansion knew the news in advance and hid the things?
Thinking of this, Luo Ming directly ordered, "Search! I don't believe that we can't find the storehouse of the General's Mansion."
"yes!"
The soldiers received the order and searched the entire general's mansion, leaving no corner untouched, whether it was the main or the second house.
What's strange is that apart from finding some odds and ends, the general's warehouse seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Even though Luo Ming was reluctant to believe it, he had to admit that the general's mansion was good at hiding things.
So, he had no choice but to lead his men back to the front yard, and then, looking at the people in the mansion who were restricted in their freedom, he said, "You people in the general's mansion are really capable. You actually hid the warehouse. Tell me, who knows where the warehouse is hidden? I will reward you handsomely!"
The old lady was slightly stunned when she heard this. She thought, could it be that Yuanniang had already received the news and hid the things in advance?
If this is true, then it’s good. At least there is a way out for their family.
At this moment, the old lady didn't think about Yue Fuli at all.
The other people in the mansion looked at each other after hearing Luo Ming's words. The warehouse was gone, when did it happen? How come they didn't know about it?
Because no one knew, no one spoke.
Luo Ming waited for a while, but when no one spoke, his expression turned grim. He glanced at everyone and asked, "Where is the mistress of the mansion? Please stand up."
No one answered, and no one stepped forward.
Luo Ming's expression grew increasingly grim, and he said, "It seems you're not going to accept my offer. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
"Come here, bring Su Yuanniang out to me."
Yue Fuli saw the Imperial Guards approaching them after hearing this, so she immediately stood up and said coldly, "Sir, if you want to find my mother, you can go directly to the mourning hall. My mother has always been in charge of the household expenses in the mansion, so maybe she knows the whereabouts of the storehouse."
Luo Ming's face darkened when he heard this, and he shouted, "How dare you play tricks on me! Come, give me fifty lashes of the cane."
"grown ups!"
"elder sister!"
