These people rushed in one after another like gangsters, slamming the door.
However, after a search, the house was empty and nothing was found.
"Sir Qi Ling, everyone in the Marquis's Mansion has run away!" the leading officer reported to Prime Minister Wan.
Prime Minister Wan opened his eyes wide, looking at the empty house in disbelief. The red lanterns and red ribbons that filled the yard were still there, so how come all the people were gone?
Could it be that they just disappeared overnight?
Trembling all over, he strode towards the backyard and kicked several doors in succession, but there was nothing inside, not even a single painting or calligraphy.
Prime Minister Wan was so angry that he lost his balance and fell into his chair.
At this time, another soldier came running over slowly and said, "Sir, I just went to check the Fu family's warehouse..."
Prime Minister Wan's eyes lit up again, "Yes, the warehouse. They can't take the gold and silver in the warehouse away. They must still be in there!"
The officer's face turned pale and he lowered his head, hesitating and saying, "Sir, we have checked the storehouse of the Marquis's Mansion. Not only is there no gold, there is not even a copper coin!"
"Not a single copper coin?" Prime Minister Wan's eyes popped out of his head in shock, and his beard trembled slightly with his breathing.
The officer lowered his head even lower, "Yes, sir!"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Wan quickly stood up and rushed to the warehouse. The moment he saw the empty warehouse, he instantly felt as if someone was strangling his throat. His breathing became difficult and his ears were buzzing.
His legs suddenly went limp and he fell straight to the ground.
The officers and soldiers on the side rushed over quickly, "Sir!"

But now their plan has failed.
Prime Minister Wan fell to the ground, raised his head slightly, twitched his body in anger, and said fiercely to the officers and soldiers beside him: "Quick! Go and report this to the emperor!"
After saying that, he pounded his chest twice, which was suffocating him, and roared again, "Chase! Chase them! No matter what means you use, you must catch them back for me!"
"Yes, sir!" The officers and soldiers quickly responded and retreated.
Here, Prime Minister Wan was so angry that he was about to have a stroke.
Elsewhere, the Imperial Palace and the Chancellery were also in chaos.
Inside the Shangshu Mansion, Madam Chu pointed at the maid in the kitchen and yelled, "You're just giving me a few steamed buns this early in the morning?!"
The kitchen maid knelt on the ground and trembled, "Madam, I woke up early this morning and found that our kitchen was empty!"
"Empty? What do you mean empty? Can you do the goods without money? You only have a steamed bun left to give us!" Mrs. Chu stood up and pinched her arm.
