In an instant, everyone was silent.
Feng Jiuyan didn't care and walked over as he was told.
She roughly pinched Madam Feng's chin with her left hand, revealing the sharp nails of her right thumb, and pinched Madam Feng's philtrum heavily.
Madam Feng had been pretending to be unconscious to avoid reality. She was suddenly pinched like this and almost couldn't stand it and woke up.
Feng Jiuyan snorted coldly, took out three of the thickest silver needles from his sleeves, and quickly stabbed them into Madam Feng's fingers.
My fingers are connected to my heart, oh, it hurts so much!
“Ouch!” Madam Feng was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. She instantly sat up and slapped Feng Jiuyan, “You damn girl, are you trying to kill me?”
Feng Jiuyan shrank back with a look of fear on his face, "No, no, I didn't!" He pretended to fall to the ground, clenched the silver needle in his hand, and unnoticedly faced the slap swung at him by Old Madam Feng.
"Ahhhh!" A thunderous scream resounded through the sky. Madam Feng had several gleaming silver needles stuck in her palm.
Madam Feng's son and daughter-in-law were just about to take this opportunity to attack Feng Jiuyan, but unexpectedly, they were interrupted by a burst of anxious footsteps.
"Report!"
A group of Jinyiwei in red clothes trotted into the front hall. They were ordered to go to various courtyards in the general's mansion to plunder valuables.
The foreheads of several people were covered with fine beads of sweat, their faces were pale, and their expressions were anxious but also mixed with a hint of confusion.
"Sir, there is only one copper coin in the storehouse!" After saying that, the man opened his palm and saw a copper coin with green hair lying quietly in his palm.
The veins on Zhang Yuanshan’s forehead were throbbing and his face was as black as the bottom of a casserole!
The other Jinyiwei were all trembling when they saw the horrible expression on Zhang Yuanshan's face. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and report the truth.
"Sir, there is nothing in the rooms of the courtyards, only... a few tattered old furniture!"
"There's only a handful of yellow coriander in the kitchen!"
“The rockery and bonsai in the garden are gone too!”
“There are no more fish in the pond!”
"Sir, I found a few ounces of silver in the servant's room!"
…
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the ounces of silver in the Jinyiwei's hand and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. There was actually a fish that slipped through the net!
What a pity! Well, let’s just consider this tael of silver as feeding the dog!
After hearing the report, the Jinyiwei were dumbfounded.
Logically speaking, the Emperor issued an edict to summon General Zhenbei back to the capital to discuss the marriage of his daughter and the prince. No one would have thought that the Emperor would convict General Zhenbei today, and few people knew about the confiscation of his property.
What's more, their Jinyiwei had been guarding outside the general's mansion in the middle of the night, and not even a fly could fly out!
But why have all the property in the general’s mansion disappeared?
Even if the people in the General's Mansion wanted to transfer property, it couldn't be done so quickly!
Could it be that all these valuables grew wings and flew away?
Not only the Jinyiwei were shocked, but also the people from the Zhenbei General’s Mansion.
Everyone in Feng Mansion thought about it carefully: Yes, no wonder, when I passed by the garden just now, I always felt that the garden was a little strange. It turned out that the potted plants and other things had disappeared.
Suddenly, Feng Zirou thought of the priceless and fine tea set in her room, which turned into a broken and tattered set overnight.
Could it be that the head of the family, Master Feng, had some foresight and transferred all the property in the mansion in advance?
Thinking of this, everyone in the Feng Mansion was extremely excited. All of their bright eyes turned to the Second Master Feng, their eyes full of admiration and approval.
Master Feng couldn't help but take a few steps back and flatly denied, "It's not me!"
If the Jinyiwei people thought that he was hiding the property, he would definitely be in trouble! Thinking of this, Master Feng looked at Zhang Yuanshan who was sitting on the first seat with trepidation.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanshan's face was as black as ink, and he stared at Master Feng with a sinister look in his eyes. "Master Feng, do you know that hiding property is a serious crime?"
Master Feng lifted up his clothes, his body trembling like a sieve, and knelt down in front of Zhang Yuanshan with a plop. "Sir, I dare not do such a thing to hide property!"
He wanted to hide, but did he have the time? He didn't!
"How dare you quibble!" Zhang Yuanshan was furious and slammed the table next to him.
"Bang!" The table fell down and broke into pieces.
Everyone in Feng Mansion was stunned. Isn't this table too fragile?
Someone gasped and murmured, "That table was originally made of a hundred-year-old golden nanmu wood, why... is it an ordinary table?"
"Hey, this, isn't this the tattered table in my room?" a maid whispered.
Zhang Yuanshan didn't believe Mr. Feng's excuses in the first place, and now when he heard the people below talking about it, he became even more furious.
The emperor originally wanted to put the property confiscated from the general's mansion into his own private treasury. If he returns empty-handed this time, Zhang Yuanshan will not end well either!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanshan pulled out a whip from his waist and lashed at Mr. Feng. "You are the head of the Feng family. If it wasn't you who transferred the property, who else would have done it? Do you think that I, Zhang Yuanshan, am a fool?"
The whip hit Master Feng hard, and every sound was like the sound of flesh tearing apart.
Master Feng screamed and rolled on the ground.
Suddenly, another team of Jinyiwei rushed into the front hall.
The leading Jinyiwei came in hurriedly, "Sir, I found a stack of house deeds and land deeds in the courtyard of the second house."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanshan stopped what he was doing and looked at the Jinyiwei with burning eyes.
The leader of the Jinyiwei felt his scalp tighten, and said in a low voice, "I have verified the address with other brothers, and the store is empty, there is nothing inside!"
