Liu Zhen didn't even bother to get up. He immediately grabbed his collar and asked anxiously, "You said that all the gold, silver and jewelry in your Wen Mansion are gone? The golden nest is gone? The two silver rooms are gone? Everything is gone?"
Wen Qiang was stunned by his fierce questioning, and then he seized the loophole in his words.
Wen Qiang was no ordinary man, as he could afford a house of gold and silver. His face immediately turned cold and he questioned, "How did Lord Liu know that I had a gold house and two silver houses? I don't have a gold house and two silver houses, do I?"
Seeing him turn the tables and interrogate him as a suspect, Liu Zhen angrily pushed him away and retorted rudely:
"You don't go to catch the real murderer, but you suspect me. How can I know? Why don't you ask your precious woman if the Liu Mansion has also been looted and become an empty house?"
Liu Zhen's words were very ambiguous. At first glance, he pushed the matter of the golden and silver houses onto Wen Xiuqing, and then diverted the topic to the similar experiences of the Liu and Wen families.
The tragic thefts in the two mansions drew Wen Qiang's thoughts to a sympathetic level.
In fact, he covered up the truth. The reason why he knew that the Wen Mansion had rich and powerful houses was naturally because his people investigated it.
After hearing this, Wen Qiang stopped dwelling on his leak. He was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "What? Your house was robbed too?"
"It's over, it's over. All the wealth accumulated by the Wen family over the past few decades has been stolen by thieves."
Without gold and silver, no matter how arrogant he was before, he would become as miserable in the future.
Decades of wealth were gone overnight.
It was emptied out without anyone noticing.
It was broad daylight, with people coming and going, how did the thieves do it?
No one in the world can do it, unless?
"My dear son-in-law, could it be a ghost? Only a ghost could empty out the Wen and Liu residences without anyone noticing. It must be a ghost. Only a ghost could have such a powerful ability."
After hearing this, Liu Zhen's body shook, and suddenly he felt his neck was very cold, as if something was blowing.
He felt his back was heavy, as if something was pressing on it.
Also, he felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him in front of him, and Liu Zhen fell to the ground in fear.
When the master came in, he found Liu Zhen sitting on the ground in a state of disarray, his face frighteningly pale, his eyes evasive, as if he was avoiding something?
The lawyer hurried forward to help the man up and said, "Sir, we have sent people to seal the city gates and all the exits. The money stolen from our house is for you."
"Master Wen is the richest man in Ganzhou Prefecture. The theft in his house is extraordinary. It would be difficult for the thieves to transport such a huge amount of property out of the city."
"I think the thief is still in the city. We quickly sealed the city gates. The thief should be hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to leave the city."
"Sir, I believe that if we turn Ganzhou City upside down, we will leave the thieves with nowhere to escape and eventually return the stolen property."
"The most urgent matter is, Your Excellency, please mobilize all available manpower to expedite the investigation. If it's too late, I'm afraid something might happen."
After listening to the analysis of the master, the panic on Liu Zhen and Wen Qiang faded away, and was replaced by clarity and viciousness.
"I leave this matter to you. You must find the thief and recover the stolen money."
Liu Zhen gave him his official seal, which could provide a green light for any official documents.
The money in the Wen Mansion is even more than that in the national treasury. With this money, we don’t have to look at Su Chun’s face for everything!
With this money, does the Liu family still have to worry about not being able to operate in the court?
The reason why he married Wen Xiuqing, that vulgar woman, was for the money of the Wen family.
Now, as long as he finds it, it will belong to Liu Zhen. Then he can find any reason to get rid of Wen Qiang and Wen Xiuqing, father and daughter.
Whenever Liu Zhen thought about the money he was about to receive that would make him rich enough to rival a country, he was so happy that he almost revealed his true nature.
He pretended to appease Wen Qiang, then left Liu Mansion on the pretext of tracking down the thief.
Although Liu Zhen's dream was ideal and fulfilling, the three-day city lockdown had passed and he had nothing left.
Not even the shadow of the thief was seen, and not even a trace of the silver and money that was worth enough to rival a country was found.
Dai Viet law stipulates that unless the matter involves life and death, the city can only be closed for three days at most. If it exceeds three days, not only will the official hat be lost, but the person will also be imprisoned.
But Liu Zhen felt that the emperor was far away and he insisted on extending the seal for two more days. He searched Ganzhou City four or five times but still found nothing.
"hateful!"
Liu Zhen, who thought he was full of confidence, was now so angry that he almost met the King of Hell.
Whenever he thought about losing money that was worth enough to rival a country, he was so heartbroken that he almost stopped breathing. If he had not been treated in time, he might have really gone to hell.
Driver Su was unaware of the chaos in Ganzhou City.
Su Sijin rested in the carriage for a few days and looked much better.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Life was so wonderful that she felt like she had gained weight in just a few days.
Su Sijin secretly pinched the fat around her waist. Fortunately, it was not much.
After five days' journey, we finally reached our destination, but all we saw was a flat land overgrown with weeds, and not a single house in sight.
The scene before them left Zhang Er bewildered. They all looked at each other, hoping to get a rejection in each other's eyes.
But when he saw the three words "Meijiang Village", Tang Peng was sure that he had found the right place.
This is Meijiang Village in Ningdu County.
The place they were assigned to be resettled in the document was Meijiang Village.
Tang Peng took the document in his hand and checked it again and again.
"this……"
If it’s a village, why is there no one there?
This is unbelievable.
There was nothing but a wasteland before my eyes. How could anyone live there? Where were the people?
Aside from the barren wasteland, I could see a sliver of sea. Was that the sea ahead?
Su Sijin discovered that this place was not far from the barrier area, just halfway to Meijiang Town, which was listed as a forbidden area.
This is a little boy walking over with a small fish in his hand. He looks about seven or eight years old.
The little boy looked at the hundreds of people who suddenly appeared, and in panic he threw away the small fish he had caught, shouting as he ran, "Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, help! Help! The Japanese are coming, the Japanese are coming, wuwuwu, Daddy, the Japanese are going to eat my flesh."
The little boy shouted and ran around in the wasteland.
Seeing this, Tang Peng hurriedly chased after the little boy.
When the little boy saw the "Japanese slaves" chasing him relentlessly, he cried even louder and shouted even louder.
Just as Tang Peng was about to grab the little boy's sleeve, three people suddenly jumped out of the bushes, holding axes and chopped at Tang Peng frantically.
The little boy was held by a woman and quickly disappeared into the grass.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the person and the sudden attack, he wanted to explain something, but the murderous intent in the other party's eyes was so strong, and the axe was deadly with every move.
Tang Peng was outnumbered, and soon lost the upper hand.
Lu Changgong and Yunyu jumped up and joined the duel, and subdued the three people with just one move.
