Chen Fu had just woken up from his coma and crawled all the way to County Magistrate Chen's side. "Sir, are you okay?"
Chen Xianling sat up with great effort, "What's going on? Why does my head hurt so much?!"
Chen Fu looked at the people who were fainting around him with a horrified expression, "Sir, those foreigners drugged us yesterday!"
County Magistrate Chen was startled, looked down at the table full of dishes, and finally stood up by holding the table, "Someone come! Someone come!"
The guards at the door woke up at this time and rushed in one after another, "Sir, what's wrong, sir?"
County Magistrate Chen quickly asked, "Where did you bring those people from yesterday?"
The leading bailiff replied, "They brought it from a nearby village, sir. They drugged the wine we drank!"
County Magistrate Chen raised his hand and slapped him, "You tell me! Go check the warehouse!"
"Yes, sir!" The bailiff walked towards the backyard with his red and swollen face.
Not long after, the group of yamen runners stumbled over and said, "Sir, this is bad! The granaries and warehouses are empty!"
County Commander Chen was so nervous that he couldn't stand still. "What did you say? The warehouse is empty?!"
The yamen runners replied, "Sir, those foreigners are probably thieves. They drugged us and emptied your warehouse!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could they move all the things in my warehouse away in just one night!" County Commander Chen waved his hands and walked towards the backyard, holding on to the wall.
Looking at the empty warehouse, County Commander Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My mountain of gold! My mountain of rice! My mountain of noodles!" He half-knelt on the ground and fumbled around, "Why are they all gone?"
County Magistrate Chen usually doesn't want to eat or wear anything, he just likes to sit here and watch.
Now there is not a single grain of rice or a single brick of gold left, it will cost him his life!
Chen Xianling lay on the ground, crying loudly.
"Sir, let's send someone to chase him now, maybe we can catch him back!" Chen Fu advised.
County Commander Chen raised his head and trembled, "Chase! Yes! Chase quickly!"
Chen Fu hurriedly gave instructions to the yamen runners and prepared to go to the backyard to lead the horse.
However, before they could leave, the pursuers sent by the Prime Minister and the Emperor arrived and surrounded County Magistrate Chen's mansion.
"Master Fu! Don't run away, just wait till you die!"
County Magistrate Chen heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing a group of soldiers, he asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The group of officers and soldiers had never seen the Fu family before, but based on the carriage and luggage alone, they concluded that the Fu family was hiding here.
They didn't waste any more time talking to County Magistrate Chen and immediately sent people in.
These officers and soldiers were just like bandits, turning things over and smashing things, making the entire Chen Mansion a mess.
By the time they left without finding anyone, the Chen Mansion had become a mess.
County Magistrate Chen was standing in the courtyard looking at the looted mansion when he accidentally suffered a stroke!
He was stingy all his life and never married or had children.
Now that he had suffered a stroke, the people in the mansion scattered here and there. Not to mention oppressing the common people, he couldn't even eat a bite of food.
Before leaving, Chu Chenyin tricked him by adding something into the water he drank. Although it didn't kill him immediately, it didn't end well for him either.
By the time the pursuers arrived at the Chen Mansion, it was already a desolate place. They were chasing westward along the chariot wheels that Chu Chenyin had specially left behind, which was a completely different direction from the Mengru Town where Lord Fu and his men were heading.
When Chu Chenyin and his friends arrived at the gate of Mengru Town, it was already early morning of the next day.
They slept in the carriage all night. Chu Chenyin was used to taking a nap, so she slowly opened her eyes when the carriage slowly arrived at a small village in the county.
When I opened my eyes, what caught my eye was Fu Yanting's chest with clearly defined muscles!
