Chapter 429 Lost
Commander Zhao laughed triumphantly, put the stack of letters into his arms, searched the room for some jewelry, gold and silver that were easy to hide, and then walked out of Liufeng Garden.
Yuan Ziyu hurriedly drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion and followed her. She planned to take Commander Zhao into the Qiongjiang Pavilion first, take the letter away, and then release Commander Zhao.
However, there is a drawback to this. No matter how fast she moves, Commander Zhao will feel dizzy. If he cannot find the letter, Commander Zhao will definitely become suspicious.
Yuan Ziyu sighed, wishing he could send those letters to the Qiongjiang Pavilion remotely without alerting Commander Zhao.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yuan Ziyu felt as if there were something extra in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was the stack of letters that Zhao Tong had just taken out.
It actually works.
Yuan Ziyu couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect that Qiongjiang Pavilion had such ability.
This discovery made Yuan Ziyu very happy.
Seeing Commander Zhao walking out unconsciously, Yuan Ziyu hurriedly followed him. She wanted to confirm whether Commander Zhao really could not produce the letter. As for the looted things, Yuan Ziyu did not take them away as well, otherwise it would be too obvious.
Anyway, the things they took away can be taken back sooner or later.
Commander Zhao waited at the entrance of the inner house for a while, and all the soldiers who went to search the Yuan Mansion came back.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Commander Zhao brought his soldiers back to the gate of Yuan Mansion.
"Eunuch Liu." Commander Zhao bowed respectfully to Eunuch Liu and said, "I have fulfilled your mission."
This sentence made Eunuch Liu smile instantly, and made everyone in the Yuan Mansion change their expressions suddenly. Yuan Qifeng even widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Good!" Eunuch Liu said with a satisfied smile, "Bring it out, and let our General Yuan be convinced, so that he won't always say that someone is framing him."
"Yes." Commander Zhao sneered at Yuan Qifeng and put his hand into his arms.
The next moment, Commander Zhao stood there in a daze, with his hands in his arms, reluctant to take them out.
"Commander Zhao." Eunuch Liu frowned and said, "Quickly bring out the evidence."
"Evidence... evidence..." Commander Zhao's forehead was sweaty, and he stammered, "Your subordinate... those letters seem to have fallen along the way. I'll go back and look for them."
Eunuch Liu hadn't expected to hear such a sentence, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied with Commander Zhao. Such an important piece of evidence was lost midway. What else could he have done? If this wasn't Concubine Zhao's cousin, he really wanted to spit in his face right then and there.
What a waste snack.
"Go find it quickly." Eunuch Liu gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Commander Zhao was sweating. He had clearly kept those letters in his arms, so how could they be lost? It would have been fine if only one letter was lost, but all of them were lost, and he made a fool of himself in front of Eunuch Liu. Thinking about it, Commander Zhao felt that he was extremely unlucky.
Who is Eunuch Liu?
He was a favorite of the emperor, someone many people wanted to curry favor with but couldn't, yet he actually...
If possible, Commander Zhao really wanted to beat himself up.
Yuan Ziyu followed Commander Zhao with a sneer, watching him walk all the way from the main gate to Liufeng Garden, and then from Liufeng Garden to every corner of the Yuan Mansion. Seeing Commander Zhao's increasingly pale face and more sweat, she couldn't help laughing.
This Qiongjiang Pavilion is absolutely to her liking!
She was now completely certain that the Qiongjiang Pavilion could take objects from a distance without being noticed.
After wandering around the inner courtyard of the Yuan Mansion for half an hour, Commander Zhao returned to the main gate of the Yuan Mansion with a dejected look on his face.
"Where's the evidence?" Seeing Commander Zhao's obviously guilty look, Eunuch Liu felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
Commander Zhao lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Eunuch Liu: "That...that one was not found."
"What!" Eunuch Liu couldn't help but shout, "Say it again, what did you say?"
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate has not found those evidences." Commander Zhao's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and it couldn't be any lower.
Eunuch Liu couldn't believe his ears. There were so many letters, but he and the emperor didn't keep any of them. They were all handed over to Commander Zhao. And now, they disappeared!
And he was not seen in Yuan Mansion.
How is he going to explain to His Majesty when he returns?
And... the person who imitated the handwriting has already...
For a moment, Eunuch Liu felt overwhelmed. It seemed that he would return empty-handed today.
Without evidence, the emperor cannot throw Yuan Qifeng into jail for no reason. After all, Yuan Qifeng is the god of war of the Dali Dynasty. If he is not careful, the foundation of the court will be shaken.
"Really didn't find it?" Eunuch Liu gritted his teeth and confirmed again.
Commander Zhao glanced at Eunuch Liu guiltily and said, "No."
Eunuch Liu almost fainted. He had been making arrangements for a long time, but this was the result. This... this waste.
I actually lost the thing.
"Why, Eunuch Liu?" Yuan Qifeng's voice rang out at this moment. "Are you hoping to find evidence of so-called treason in my Yuan Mansion?"
Eunuch Liu was startled. Since Yuan Qifeng's crime was still unsolved, he couldn't fall out with him. He quickly said with a smile, "General Yuan, you're joking. I really thought he had done something wrong before. Haha, I'm glad you're alright now. I still have to go back and report to His Majesty, so I'll take my leave now."
"Goodbye, I won't say goodbye." Yuan Qifeng was also angry about what happened today, so naturally his attitude was not very good.
Eunuch Liu was not at this point in his life to argue, so he simply continued, "I hope General Yuan will forgive me. After all, someone has reported General Yuan. Therefore, until the cause of the matter is clarified, the Imperial Guards will need to stay outside the mansion for a few days. As for everyone else in the mansion, please stay put for the time being. When Second Miss Yuan returns, I hope General Yuan will cooperate."
This is a disguised form of house arrest.
"Hmph." Yuan Qifeng snorted coldly, "Please ask Eunuch Liu to inform His Majesty that I, Yuan Qifeng, am upright and honest. Anyone who denounces me, I will still say that they can confront me face to face in front of His Majesty."
"Of course, of course." Eunuch Liu said with a smile, "We will definitely report this to His Majesty."
"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Liu." Yuan Qifeng said with a bow.
"Sure, sure."
Only after Eunuch Liu took his men away did everyone in the Yuan Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.
The elder lady was still unconscious, so Yuan Qifeng and Liu hurriedly ordered people to carry the elder lady back to Shousong Hall safely. They also ordered people to call a doctor, and ordered people to clean up all the courtyards and count the losses. After the elder lady woke up, they comforted her and then the two returned to Liufengyuan.
Liu sighed, "Why did this unexpected disaster happen? Brother Feng, do you know who is behind this?"
