Chapter 289 What happened? ! !
After arriving at the private treasury, he asked his followers to wait outside while he went inside to count the property.
He supported his aching body and limped into the private vault. Seeing the stacked boxes and the golden treasures, his heart finally settled down.
As long as these things were there, he had nothing to fear.
After saying that, he covered his heart and took a deep breath.
Little did he know that Ruan Mian, who had followed him in, was quietly watching all this from the shadows. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly touched the jade bracelet and stored all the items in the storeroom into the space!
It was just a moment, and Wen Yuan had just opened his eyes when he suddenly found that the things in front of him suddenly disappeared out of thin air!
His eyes suddenly widened, and with an incredible look on his face he ran to the center of the empty room, reaching out to touch every corner.
What's going on?! Just now, weren't there so many boxes of jewelry? Where are these boxes now?
There were clearly some silver ingots under my feet, but now there is nothing left!!
How is this possible? How is this possible?!
He had just seen it and touched it, it was clearly all here!!
How could it disappear out of thin air? Was it... an illusion just now? Or is it an illusion now?!
Wen Yuan felt a mouthful of blood rushing to his heart and he almost vomited it out. Moreover, the blood in his whole body began to rush back and his forehead was about to explode with anger.
He felt like he was in a dream and even began to doubt whether he had not woken up yet.
He slapped himself hard several times, the sound was so crisp that his head was stunned.
But no matter how he opened or closed his eyes, everything in front of him was empty. There was no trace of the silver and jewels he had just seen.
Wen Yuan stood there in a daze. He wanted to turn around and go out to call his followers, but he found that he had forgotten how to walk.
My mind flew out, but my feet were still in place. My body suddenly lost balance and I fell heavily to the ground!
After looking up in panic, he was still in the empty warehouse. After confirming that there was nothing inside, he suddenly shouted, "Help! Help! There's a ghost!!"
Upon hearing this, the attendant rushed to the warehouse. However, when he saw the empty warehouse, he froze in his tracks: "Master... Master, what's going on?"
"Where's our money?! Where are our treasures?!"
Wen Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only pound the ground silently, but in his heart he was shouting: "It's all gone, it's all gone! It's haunted!"
The attendants hurriedly helped him up, but Wen Yuan could not bear such shock. Just as he was about to speak, his body leaned back and he suddenly fainted.
"Master, Master, wake up!!"
The attendant was startled and could only drag his heavy body slowly onto the carriage. Wen Yuan's skin was already covered with scars from being beaten, and the dragging made it even more covered with scars, and blood was everywhere.
After returning to the mansion, the entourage quickly sent people to investigate the surrounding area.
After Wen Yuan woke up, he felt his head was heavy, as if someone had hit him hard on the forehead with an axe.
But the little bit of rationality he had left made him hold the brush tightly, grit his teeth and write a letter.
"Hurry, deliver it to Lord Qin as fast as you can. The treasure in the private vault can't just disappear out of thin air. Even if there's a ghost, there must be a ghost there!!"
"Now that those stubborn people are giving me trouble, I can't leave the city. I can only tell Qin Fu about this! Also, these important items must be delivered to Lord Qin in person. They can't fall into his hands."
"The private vault is basically filled with treasures to be presented to the princess. Qin Fu won't sit idly by. Hurry! What are you still standing there for! Take them and find someone!"
He was so angry that he couldn't breathe and fell to the side of the table. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his underwear red.
At this moment, he was still mumbling to himself, "How could it be haunted? How could so many things just disappear like that? Hahahaha! Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
However, when the attendant took the letter to find someone, he was followed as soon as he left the house.
He felt a chilling wind behind him and couldn't help but quicken his pace. However, before he had taken two steps, a woman dressed in black suddenly blocked his way. The most terrifying thing was that the woman was accompanied by a tiger with a bloody mouth!
The follower was immediately frightened, his eyes widened, and he couldn't even make a sound! !
He had heard people say that there were tiger beasts in Runing City before, but he thought those people were crazy and had wild imaginations. Where did the tiger beasts come from in Runing City over the years?
What’s more, it’s in the city!!
Now it looked like he was so frightened that his face turned pale. Ruan Mian didn't even need to do anything, as his follower had already fainted from fright.
Ruan Mian didn't expect that this person was so easily frightened.
Xiao Huhu also stared at Ruan Mian with an innocent look and blinked, as if to say, I didn't scare him, he scared himself.
Ruan Mian couldn't help laughing, patted its head, and praised: "You are still the best."
Now that the purpose has been achieved, we won't let it come out to continue scaring people.
So she put the white tiger into the space. This road was a very remote alley in the backyard of the Wen Mansion, and there were usually not many people there.
At this moment, the follower fainted and there was no one to save him.
Ruan Mian walked up to the attendant and took out all the letters and items from him.
When I opened it, I realized it was a letter from Wenyuan asking for help.
It only said that the situation was urgent, the private treasury was stolen by thieves, and the author was twisting his body, and it was obvious that he was anxious and extremely panicked.
In addition, there are two books filled with writing, which look like account books.
When Ruan Mian opened it, it turned out to be some account books as she had guessed.
But what was recorded above were not ordinary business accounts, but some disgusting accounts of stolen money.
For example, in the entire Runing area, there are gray accounts such as the income from buying and selling official positions, the income from brothels and casinos, and some over-collected taxes.
I remember every detail clearly.
Although it was not written so directly, Ruan Mian, who often dealt with accounts, could see it at a glance.
Knowing that this is a very risky thing, he still took the risk to record it so clearly. I'm afraid it was Princess Chun's request.
Perhaps she thought that the emperor was far away, and if the accounts were clear, she could prevent those disloyal subordinates from tampering with the money, and she could also control the quantity and provide financial assistance to King Huai.
After all, Runing is so far away from Kyoto, and these accounts cannot be transferred to Kyoto.
But she never expected that she would fall into Ruan Mian's hands.
Once it was in her hands, it was already on the way to Kyoto.
These must be good things for Ah Huai!!
Moreover, this man named Qin Fu is the local official of another town. With this clue, I am afraid that many criminals can be led to the scene.
