Chapter 20 The Capital is in Chaos
Jiang Nanfeng looked at the two of them in surprise, "What did you say? Something was lost in their yard too? What was lost?"
"My Lord, everything in the house is missing, even the furnishings in the room are gone. My Lord, go check on the princess. All the dowry she just brought in is gone too."
When Jiang Nanfeng heard that Luo Yurou's dowry was gone, his face changed instantly. Those dowries were the money Luo Feng sent to him to stockpile private soldiers. If they were all gone, how could he help the second prince raise an army?
"Let's go. You lead the way to Xihuayuan." Xihuayuan is the courtyard where Luo Yurou lives now.
When her maid heard that Jiang Nanfeng was going to Xihuayuan first, she immediately stood up and glanced at him proudly.
The maid Liu Shuang.
Humph! You still want to compete with the princess.
When the old lady saw Jiang Nanfeng leave like this without caring about herself, she and Jiang Xiuxiu were both dumbfounded.
What's going on? How could the entire mansion be robbed overnight? This is too much of a coincidence.
"Grandma, I'll go see my aunt." Jiang Xiuxiu had no intention of staying here any longer. After paying her respects to the old lady, she quickly returned to Liu Shuang's yard with her maid.
When she came out in the morning, she didn't know that her mother's house had also been robbed.
Before, she suspected that it was Jiang Nanyuan who did it, but now seeing that the mansion had been robbed, she felt that Jiang Nanyuan definitely did not have such a great ability.
Jiang Nanfeng had just left halfway with Luo Yurou's maid when Li Qing quickly walked over and knelt before him. "My Lord, this is bad. The storehouse in the mansion has been robbed. Everything in the storehouse is gone."
Jiang Nanfeng stumbled a few steps, and suddenly he thought of the strange noise he heard in the study last night. Could it be...
He didn't dare to think about it any further. Everything in there was confidential and there must not be any accidents.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to go to Luo Yurou anymore, and strode straight towards his study.
When Luo Yurou's maid saw Jiang Nanfeng leave like that, she stood there dumbfounded.
What she didn't expect was that the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion was also robbed. Which thief was so powerful?
He was able to move everything out of the house so quietly.
Seeing that the Marquis left halfway, she had no choice but to go back and report.
Luo Yurou and Liu Shuang saw their maids coming back, but Jiang Nanfeng was not following them, so they both asked the maids what was going on.
Liu Shuang thought that Jiang Nanfeng went to Luo Yurou's yard. Luo Yurou was shocked to learn that the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion had also been robbed.
Jiang Nanfeng walked quickly towards the study. When he arrived at the door, he called out all the secret guards guarding the door.
Seeing Jiang Nanfeng's serious expression, several secret guards didn't know what had happened. They came out and knelt in front of him.
"Did you see anyone invited into the study last night?"
After hearing what Jiang Nanfeng said, the secret guards looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"My Lord, we have been guarding outside the study door the entire time and have not seen anyone sneak into the study."
They were telling the truth; they had never left the study for a moment.
These secret guards were carefully selected by Jiang Nanfeng, and he highly recognized their abilities.
Seeing that they didn't notice anything unusual, he felt a little relieved.
He quickly entered the study and moved the mechanism on the bookcase. When the door slowly opened, his heart was beating rapidly.
When all the doors were opened, he walked in and saw that it was empty. He collapsed and sat down on the ground.
It’s over, it’s all over, gone, everything is gone!
Suddenly he thought of something, stood up from the ground and rushed towards the table.
He wanted to look for something, but there was no need to look at all. Except for the eye-catching imperial edict, everything else on the desk was gone.
No, he had to go to the Second Prince's house and inform him of this matter.
Thinking of this, he ran out of the study again, went to the door, got on the carriage, and headed towards the second prince's residence.
What he didn't know was that several mansions in the capital were in the same situation as him.
When he arrived at the door of the Second Prince's residence, he was surprised to find that Luo Feng was also there.
They got off the carriage at the same time and were stunned when they saw each other, because they both noticed something was wrong on each other's faces!
"Your Highness, why are you here too?" Jiang Nanfeng had a terrible guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that it would come true.
"Why did you come to the Second Emperor's Palace?"
"Well, this is a long story. Let's go inside and talk about it." Jiang Nanfeng just wanted to tell the second prince the news as soon as possible so that they could continue to make plans for the future.
They have only stockpiled half of their troops. If they don't have financial support, they may not be able to continue stockpiling troops.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and did not continue talking at the door, but walked together towards the Second Prince's Mansion.
When the doorman saw that it was the two of them who came, he didn't stop them at all because they often came here on weekdays.
When the two of them walked into the mansion, they found that the second prince's mansion was also in a mess, with servants kneeling on the ground. The second prince was very angry at this time.
Jiang Nanfeng and Luo Feng saw the two of them looking at each other, and both thought to themselves that something was wrong.
Something happened.
When the second prince Xiao Yujing saw Luo Feng and Jiang Nanfeng coming together, he winked at the guards behind him.
Afterwards, he took Luo Feng and Jiang Nanfeng to the study to discuss matters.
When they arrived at the study, he asked the guards to guard the door, and Jiang Nanfeng hurriedly told him about the theft in the mansion.
When Luo Feng heard what Jiang Nanfeng said, his eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at Jiang Nanfeng in disbelief, "What did you just say? You said your house was robbed yesterday? All your things were stolen?"
Jiang Nanfeng didn't know why Luo Feng had such a big reaction. He nodded heavily. Suddenly he thought of something and widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Prince Luo, is it your family too..."
Seeing Luo Feng nod, they both looked at Xiao Yujing at the same time, "Second Prince, this matter is too strange, what should we do?"
Xiao Yujing was so angry that the veins on his forehead were visible, and he slammed the table heavily.
"How can this be? What daring thief dared to steal from this prince?
If this prince were to catch him, he would be punished!"
When Luo Feng and Jiang Nanfeng heard what Xiao Yujing said, they looked at each other.
Why does it sound like the Second Prince is saying this? Could it be that his house has also been robbed?
Thinking of this possibility, their expressions changed drastically, "Second Prince, is this incident directed at us?"
Otherwise it would be too coincidental that the houses of these people in their camp were robbed.
