After asking this question, Prefect Wen looked at Wan Dayong.
Wan Dayong was standing with his hands behind his back, looking inside the counter.
The pawnshop owner looked at Magistrate Wen, then glanced at Wan Dayong, feeling very panicked.
Ever since the pawnshop was robbed, he was afraid that one day Prefect Wen would chop him to death.
After all, as the shopkeeper, he is responsible for the loss of so much money.
"In total, I collected six jade pendants, a sword, two silver hairpins, and a gilded bracelet..."
He really hadn't received anything valuable these days, so there was nothing he could do even if he was anxious.
Wan Dayong frowned and walked towards the counter.
"Let me see what they are like."
"this......"
The pawnshop owner looked at Wan Dayong in confusion as he walked into the counter, then turned and looked at Prefect Wen in a daze.
Prefect Wen shook his head slowly and followed Wan Dayong with a heavy face.
Wan Dayong walked to the counter, flipped through the account book on the counter, and his brows immediately frowned.
These are indeed the things recorded in the account book as collected today.
However, this account book is new and only contains receipts from the last seven or eight days.
And they are all worthless things.
Wan Dayong glanced at the box where the silver and money were kept. There was only one box of scattered silver in it, estimated to be less than 200 taels of silver.
"Go check the warehouse!"
Wan Dayong looked up at Prefect Wen with a look that showed he would not tolerate refusal.
Magistrate Wen turned to look at the pawnshop owner.
"Take Wanda people to have a look."
He didn't want to go there a second time. The warehouse was so full that even a clean mouse would cry if it went in.
The pawnshop owner nodded and walked forward with his back bent.
"Wanda people, please follow me..."
Wan Dayong followed the pawnshop owner with his hands behind his back and took a look around the warehouse.
Prefect Wen waited for a moment, and when he saw Wan Dayong coming out of the warehouse, his face became even gloomier, and his heart trembled.
What a sin.
Not only did he suddenly become penniless, but it also aroused the suspicion of Minister Jiang.
Isn't it obvious that Wan Dayong is investigating him on behalf of Minister Jiang?
Just check it out, the key is whether you can tell him what the emperor means?
"Let's go!"
Wan Dayong looked at Prefect Wen with a serious face and walked out.
On the way to the prefectural yamen, whenever Wan Dayong saw the properties that Minister Jiang had mentioned to him, he would go in to check them out.
After looking around along the way, he roughly calculated that the total amount of money in these shops was less than 1,000 taels of silver.
The pawnshop has the most money, and the money house is just an empty shell.
Furthermore, in the brothel, not only were there few clients, there were not even many prostitutes.
Wan Dayong walked to the gate of the prefectural government office with a frown on his face. He stopped and looked at Prefect Wen.
"Let's go to your house and take a look."
Prefect Wen, who had long been numb, was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
You can look for the warehouse, but don't look for his family.
Prefect Wen glanced at Master Zhang nervously.
Master Zhang was also panicked. If he had known earlier, he should have gotten some people to stay in the mansion to pretend to be the lady.
I hope Wan Dayong only cares about the money and doesn't ask about his family...
......
"Lord Wen's house is very clean."
After Wan Dayong finished looking at the warehouse of the Wen Mansion, he looked at Prefect Wen with a smile.
Playing!
Who could steal the warehouse so cleanly, leaving only four walls?
What’s going on? Danyun City has also been punished by heaven.
The key point is that he looked at the courtyard and living room of the Wen Mansion, and the furniture was still there.
In the capital, only four walls were left in the heavenly punishment, but the Wen Mansion was special. The heavenly punishment was precise and only punished his warehouse.
"......Why!"
Prefect Wen shook his head helplessly.
"May I ask, Lord Wan, does Minister Jiang not believe what Xu Shou said?"
He was too lazy to beat around the bush. The more he tried to hide it, the more suspicious Wan Dayong would become.
To be honest, if he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that someone could steal the warehouse so thoroughly.
Normal thieves would only pick up a few valuable items when stealing, and would never empty the house out.
Leave some room for improvement when doing things so that you can meet again in the future.
The palace guards directly cut off his source of power, and he still failed.
Wan Dayong raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Zhifu.
"Who is Xu Shou? I don't know what he said."
"I'm just here to arrest Shen Yong, and by the way, I'm here to see you on behalf of Minister Jiang."
Prefect Wen gave a bitter smile.
"Please, Lord Wan, please tell Minister Jiang that the imperial guards have not only emptied Danyun City's profitable industries, but also my treasury. They even emptied the mansion of Ning Zhifu in Menglan City."
"What!?" Wan Dayong looked at Prefect Wen in shock.
Could it be that this was really done by the imperial guards?
Otherwise, how could the two cities lose so much property in succession?
The imperial palace was so thoroughly destroyed by the heavenly punishment that Emperor Tianwu was indeed short of money.
Could it be that the news released by Emperor Tianwu openly was to let the palace guards hunt down the Shen family, but in fact he was secretly collecting money from various cities?
After all, it was impossible for people in the capital to not know that so many imperial guards had suddenly left the city.
So no one knew who spread the news that those palace guards were going to hunt down Chen Yong.
In fact, those palace guards were not going to hunt down Chen Yong at all.
He was saying that, why would that idiot Chen Yong from the Shen family let the Shen family's dormant accomplices take such a big risk.
"If Lord Wan doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Menglan City to ask and find out."
