"Master~!"
Madam Ning frowned and stood up, quickly taking her clothes and putting them on Prefect Ning.
"What happened!?"
As soon as Madam Ning finished speaking, the maid opened the door and let the guard leader in.
"Master, something big happened. The warehouse was robbed."
The chief guard fell to his knees and looked at Prefect Ning in panic.
When I woke up, the sky had fallen.
All the guards in the warehouse and on patrol last night were knocked down.
The dose of the smoke was very large. He had people pour water on them several times, but those people didn't move at all.
"What!!?"
Prefect Ning stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open.
"Are all the guards dead?"
"There was no movement at all after the warehouse was robbed?"
I didn't hear any noise in the mansion last night.
What kind of gang could knock down the guards quietly and then steal the warehouse.
Prefect Ning immediately thought of the more than one hundred palace guards and became extremely panicked.
Apart from these palace guards, who else could empty his warehouse overnight?
"The guards were all drugged and unconscious."
The guard leader lowered his head and replied, "The amount of drug was very large, and the guards are still unable to wake up."
"If you don't wake up, I'll kill you!"
Prefect Ning glared at the head of the guards angrily and walked out barefoot.
"Master~"
Madam Ning was completely dumbfounded after hearing what the chief guard said.
So many treasures are gone, what a sin.
Seeing the master walk out barefoot, she quickly got out of bed and chased after him with her shoes in hand...
Magistrate Ning looked at the empty warehouse, his back teeth gritting with each other.
"Damn it, you're bullying me..."
"Master Ning, something big has happened."
The pawnshop owner had a pale face and hurriedly knelt down in front of Prefect Ning under the guidance of the servant.
"Sir, the pawn shop was robbed..."
After the pawnshop owner finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and found that the magistrate Ning in front of him was barefoot.
Not hearing what Prefect Ning said, he looked up at Prefect Ning tremblingly.
The pawnshop owner was so scared when he saw the angry face of Prefect Ning that he immediately lowered his head.
There was no other sound at the entrance of the warehouse except the heavy breathing of Governor Ning.
The pawnshop owner knelt on the ground, grunted for a long time, closed his eyes, and said something with a stiff upper lip.
"All the pawnshops in the city have been robbed, and... and..."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Magistrate Ning heard the pawnshop owner grunting and kicked him in the chest in anger.
“Ah~”
The pawnshop owner was kicked straight back, and a mask of pain instantly covered his face.
He endured the pain and quickly got up and knelt down.
"And all the banks were emptied."
Alas, he shouldn't have come in to report this unfortunate thing.
But if he didn't report this important matter to Prefect Ning and asked his servants to do it, Prefect Ning might be so angry that he would kill him.
After all, he has the closest relationship with Prefect Ning among all the pawnshops in Menglan City.
Damn it, he hasn't lost a single needle since he took over the pawnshop.
As a result, now that something has happened, the entire pawnshop is gone.
If something happens, it will be fatal.
Where did this daring thief come from?
His first reaction was that it was done by the imperial guards who suddenly appeared.
But he didn't dare to say anything. What if it wasn't done by the palace guards? Wouldn't he be seeking death by saying that?
"Damn it!!" Prefect Ning was shaking with anger, and the only thing in his mind was to catch the thief and kill him.
These banks and pawnshops were basically jointly run by prominent figures in the entire Menglan City.
He is the one who takes the lead.
Under his jurisdiction, pawnshops and money houses were swept away.
How should he explain to those people?
He was worried that even if he told them, those people wouldn't believe him and might even suspect that he had embezzled the money.
"Hurry up and take people to chase them!"
Ning Zhifu was so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger as he glared at the head of the guards.
"Chase in the direction of Danyun City."
"Get the things back, those thieves—"
"Kill him and bury him right here!"
"Bring all the guards with you."
After a pause, Ning Zhifu took a deep breath and added,
"Go and call all the people from the Killer Hall."
"Tell them that after the things are recovered, each person will receive a reward of 5,000 taels."
Everyone in the Killer Hall is highly skilled in martial arts, much more powerful than the palace guards.
There are 20 killers stationed in the Killer Hall, and the reward for each is 5,000 taels of silver, so it only costs 100,000 taels of silver.
The value of the money in any bank or pawnshop is more than 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention his private vault.
The guard leader's eyes lit up with envy, "Yes!"
There are more than 500 guards in Ning Mansion, and they are all good at martial arts.
People with poor martial arts skills are not qualified to work in Ning Mansion.
Now there are 20 more people from the Killer Hall leading the front, so these guards will be safer.
He just didn't know why Prefect Ning asked him to lead his men in the direction of Danyun City.
Looking at the look on Magistrate Ning's face, it seemed as if he knew who had stolen the warehouse, the bank, and the pawnshop.
Prefect Ning had a dark face and watched the chief guard leave with a group of people, his eyes flashing slightly.
He now suspected that it was the work of the imperial guards.
The day before yesterday, as soon as these imperial guards entered the city, they rushed to the pawnshops and money houses.
These people had just left Menglan City yesterday, and he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was dealt such a critical blow today.
If they didn't do it, who else could it be?
"Seal the city gates and don't let a single fly out!"
Governor Ning gritted his teeth and gave an order in a deep voice.
The pawnshop owner knelt on the ground trembling, his knees aching but he didn't dare to say a word.
At this time, no one dared to offend Prefect Ning.
Madam Ning looked at the empty storeroom, holding a pair of shoes in her hand, and was stunned and unable to recover.
........
"W- ...
"Go down and see what's going on."
Xie Feiyang was stunned when he saw the bodies of the men in black lying all over the ground.
It’s not a good idea to go out recently.
Either there wasn't a single body, or if you saw one, there were a whole bunch of them.
Considering the hundreds of corpses of imperial guards he had seen at the entrance of the post station before, he was not too shocked to see these twenty or thirty corpses.
However, he always felt uneasy when he encountered so many corpses.
The guards behind Xie Feiyang jumped off their horses and walked to the corpse to take a look.
"These people have lost all their weapons."
Then the guards turned over the corpses separately.
"Some of these people were injured by hidden weapons, some died of poisoning, and most died by having their throats slit..."
