Thinking about it, my uncle's visit this time was probably because he felt guilty about my cousin's foolish actions back then.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei sighed.
Royal Palace
Zhu Jingchen looked at Jin Yan, the Imperial Guard kneeling below, with a face full of dissatisfaction!
Such a big person, they searched the national treasury and couldn't catch him?
Is this Jin Yan's incompetence, or is it his incompetence?
"Jinyan, don't tell me you didn't discover that an outsider entered the national treasury, do you?" Zhu Jingchen asked Jinyan with a displeased expression.
She felt a pang of nostalgia for Xu Heming's days in Beijing, after all, nothing like this had ever happened before.
Zhu Jingchen forgot that even rats wouldn't dare to go into the national treasury in the past. What thief would be so blind as to go there?
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am incompetent." Jin Yan was also very distressed.
He also wanted to catch that petty thief; otherwise, the Emperor might feel that he was inferior to Prince An in every way.
"He's pretty incompetent," Zhu Jingchen said with a look of disgust.
This time, the national treasury was burgled, but nothing was stolen; it was just ransacked, which seemed to be a show of force against him.
“Your Majesty, I have searched everywhere I could and questioned everyone I could, but I have not found anyone suspicious. Even the Imperial Guards and eunuchs who were guarding the storeroom that day have been locked up. They know nothing about what happened in the storeroom at that time.” This is what Jin Yan is puzzled about.
The thief seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear just as suddenly.
What exactly is in the national treasury that this person wants?
"So, in your opinion, did he find what he was looking for?" Zhu Jingchen asked Jin Yan.
"I think it's possible that we haven't found it," Jin Yan said after a moment's hesitation.
"Liu Xi, go and fetch the dowry list that Miss Li sent. I want to take a look." Zhu Jingchen was also very curious about what the person was looking for.
"Yes!" Eunuch Liu glanced at Zhu Jingchen, thinking that Lord Li should know more about this matter, but judging from the Emperor's demeanor, it didn't seem like he wanted to ask Lord Li to come and see the problem.
"Does Your Majesty think the problem lies in Miss Li's dowry?" Jin Yan asked cautiously.
"Send someone to investigate the Marquis of Ru'an's residence. See if they've had any contact with any suspicious people recently." Zhu Jingchen thought back to the time when the Marquis of Ru'an's residence actually sought to marry a merchant's daughter. What was their motive?
Or is it that the Li family really wants something?
What could it be?
What attracts them more than money?
"Yes!" Jin Yan didn't know why the Emperor would think of investigating the Lin family. After all, the Lin family had already fallen into decline. Could it be that they could still reach into the national treasury?
Li Tianyou had just left Xiliu Lane when he saw Xu Xiangren looking around.
Li Tianyou frowned; he seemed to be seeing Lord Xu quite frequently lately.
Just as Li Tianyou was about to turn and leave, Xu Xiangren excitedly waved to him and called out, "Lord Li!"
Li Tianyou sighed, not understanding where Xu Xiangren got the perseverance to keep looking for him again and again.
He seemed easy to talk to?
"Lord Li, what is it?" Li Tianyou asked, frowning.
"Lord Li, what a coincidence, to run into you here again," Xu Xiangren said with a smile.
Li Tianyou did not reply, but his expression was not good. He wanted to go to the Prince An's residence to ask if there was any news there, and when the Prince An would return to the capital.
Today, a thief entered the national treasury, and the emperor kept him behind for questioning. The emperor felt somewhat uneasy about this.
Now, Xu Xiangren has reappeared before him like a persistent ghost.
Even the kind-hearted Li Tianyou was losing his patience.
He just couldn't understand why Xu Xiangren, a horse breeder, would keep looking for him all the time.
