Chapter 342 Unlucky White Moonlight 18
As soon as Luo An opened the door of the secret room, he heard the sound of footsteps outside and the shouts of guards. From the sound of the footsteps, he knew that they were coming towards the study.
But she was not at all panicked. She just shopped as if she was shopping. Wherever she passed, she left rows of empty shelves.
As soon as the things were put away, the guards rushed into the study. Seeing the mess inside, they knew something was wrong and quickly called for help, "There's a thief! Hurry up and help!"
Luo An, who has a loud voice, wants to give this guard an award, maybe the Golden Voice Award.
With his good voice, in less than a minute, the study was surrounded by people, and the Prince of Jin, who was in the gentle countryside, also hurried over in a hurry. He had arrived but hadn't even put on his clothes yet.
"What happened? Why was it stolen? What do you do for a living?"
After three questions were asked, everyone lowered their heads, fearing that they would become cannon fodder if they said one more word. In the end, it was the Golden Voice who spoke out at the risk of being beheaded.
"I just led my men here for patrol and heard the sound of rummaging inside the house, so I surrounded the study."
Prince Jin looked at the messy desk and the wide-open secret room, his forehead throbbing with veins. "So you mean the person is still here?"
Jinsuozi was choked by these words and became speechless. The study was not big, and he had just checked carefully. There was a sound when he walked to the door, and no one left.
But the strange thing is that there is no one in the room now!!!
When Jinshengzi looked up, he saw the dark eyes of King Jin. He swallowed the words he wanted to say in his defense and said, "I have failed in my duty! Please punish me, Your Highness."
King Jin looked at the mess in front of him and suddenly remembered something. He looked at the moved chair and ran over in a hurry. He turned the lamppost beside him and saw a square pit where the chair was originally placed. There was only a piece of red cloth in the pit, which looked like it was used to pad something, and there was nothing else.
In an instant, beads of sweat oozed out of King Jin's forehead, his heart beat like a drum, and he was panicked and desperate as if a disaster was about to happen.
"Go find him! Dig three feet deep to find him. I'm going to tear him into pieces!"
King Jin's eyes were bloodshot as he roared in anger. All the guards were shocked. Although they didn't know what was in the square pit, they knew that today's matter would not end well.
"I obey your orders! Team one, stay here. Team two, three, four, follow me!"
No matter how much Jinshengzi believed that no one had escaped from the house, the facts were now before him. What could he do? He could only expand the search area.
The result was obvious. Their random search like a headless fly did not bring any benefit at all except causing panic among the people in the various departments.
Looking at Jinshengzi kneeling on the ground, King Jin's voice was terribly low and said, "You mean the person ran away?"
Jinsuozi wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, if for no other reason than to save his life. "I am incompetent! Please punish me, Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked out with great force. "Incompetent indeed! Shadow, take them to the cabinet."
The next moment, a guard in black clothes and holding a sword appeared in the house. The cold aura emanating from him made the people kneeling on the ground beg for mercy, "Please spare my life, Your Highness! Please spare my life, Your Highness!"
They knew very well what the cabinet was like. Every time someone made a mistake, they would be thrown into the cabinet by King Jin to be punished, and no one has come out alive so far.
I heard that the people there are all the confidants cultivated by King Jin, who have many ways of torturing people, making their lives worse than death.
To be honest, rather than being thrown into the cabinet, they would rather Prince Jin give them a quick death.
"Take him away!"
"Host, it seems that this person will not be able to sleep tonight."
The dragon robe embroidered with the word "Jin" was still in her Qiankun bag. If he could still sleep, Luo An would have to admire him.
Overnight, the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were completely replaced from inside to outside. They kept catching the thief until dawn, but still couldn't find any clues. It was as if the thief had disappeared from the face of the earth, whether it was the person or the thing.
The King of Jin was furious the entire night, and countless people suffered as a result, but no one dared to say a word.
Even so, Prince Jin did not dare to make anyone know about the theft in the palace. He could only swallow his anger and his face was gloomy when he went to court.
At the palace gate, Prince Jin happened to meet Luo's father who was attending court with him. Thinking of his own fortunes declining since the Luo family insisted on breaking off the engagement, he couldn't help but glare at the other party.
Luo's father, a mere warrior, couldn't have a good temper. He originally wanted to attack directly, but thinking of his wife's instructions, he finally changed his fighting skills to verbal skills. "Look at the dark circles under the eyes of Prince Jin. If you don't know, you would think you were a thief last night."
"General Luo, be careful with your words!"
Prince Jin really couldn't bear to hear the word "thief" now. As soon as he heard it, he thought of the stolen gold, silver and jewelry and the "time bomb". His mood was so bad that he quickened his pace and wanted to leave first.
Father Luo rarely saw him so cowardly, and he found it a bit refreshing. He somehow stopped him and said, "It's still early. Why is Prince Jin so anxious? I heard there was a lot of commotion at Prince Jin's mansion last night. What bad things happened? Tell me and I'll open it... No, let me help you analyze it."
Maybe it's because he has been arguing with his daughter too much recently, Luo's father obviously feels that his mouth is more prone to slipping than before.
Although he quickly changed his words, King Jin still understood his true meaning. He was so angry that he took even bigger steps and just wanted to leave this person who was just watching the fun behind.
Luo's father just wanted to vent his anger. After all, in the palace, he was just a minister and the prince was the prince. It would be inappropriate to make a scene too ugly. However, he didn't expect that Prince Jin would be so insolent. He immediately curled his lips and said, "Fortunately, my daughter woke up early, otherwise it would be so annoying to see such a thing every day."
Having won a small victory, Luo's father was very happy at the morning court. It was rare that he did not argue with those civil servants who were only good at talking. This abnormal behavior was quite unusual.
Although the King of Jin tried his best to keep the news secret, by the next day everyone knew what they should and shouldn't know, and many people were gloating over the misfortune.
Not this!
Right after finishing a frustrating morning court session, the King of Jin was surrounded by people again, who booed him (coldly), mocked him (ridiculed him), and asked him questions (warmly) and were sarcastic about his feelings. However, this time it was not Luo's father who was doing the hard work, but the King of Jin's brothers who were smiling on the surface but swearing in their hearts.
Everyone seemed to be saying words of comfort, but when you listened carefully you realized that there were knives hidden in their words, and every knife cut your flesh.
The more King Jin listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that the other party had some hidden intentions, and that the theft was related to his superficial brothers.
Whenever he thought about his dragon robe falling into the hands of these people, King Jin always felt like there was a knife hanging around his neck ready to fall at any moment. After a few perfunctory words, he found an excuse to leave.
After returning to the palace, he called all his confidants and advisers over. After some discussion, they all felt that this matter could not wait any longer and they had to seize the throne before others.
