King Dongshan couldn't believe his ears.
How come his treasure house was emptied?
Prince Dongshan didn't believe it, so he took his men to the charity cemetery. When the prince's carriage left the house, many people were curious about why the prince went to the charity cemetery instead of recuperating at home.
They didn't know, but Tao Yuanyuan, who happened to be walking on the side of the road, knew. Did King Dongshan discover that the treasure house had been emptied?
Thinking of this, Tao Yuanyuan immediately hid herself to avoid being discovered as the one who emptied the house.
She needs to keep a low profile in the near future and leave immediately after completing the system task.
King Dongshan went to the charity cemetery. The guards in charge all looked as pale as death. They knew that they had lost the treasure house and would surely die. What they feared most was that their parents, wives and children would also be implicated.
When they saw King Dongshan, they apologized directly, "I am useless, I deserve to die, I am sorry, Your Highness."
"Tell me, who emptied it?" King Dongshan looked grim.
They all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
King Dongshan didn't believe it and ordered his family members to come over. They were so frightened that they looked utterly gloomy. "Your Highness, please understand. We didn't know. We have been guarding here the whole time and no one has set foot in."
"Where are my things?" Those were the wealth he had plundered from the people over the years, which would be of great use to him in the future. Now, everything is gone.
Looking at the treasure house without even a grain of rice left, it was so empty that it made people panic.
Prince Dongshan's vision went dark, and the Crown Prince was so frightened that he immediately supported him: "Father, calm down. If the things are lost, we just need to find them. There are so many of them, it's impossible to hide them in any place, and it won't be transported away in a short time."
King Dongshan thought about it and paused for a moment, rubbing his brow and saying, "You are responsible for the interrogation. You must find out the whereabouts of those things."
The prince nodded: "Yes."
The guards and their families were all arrested. Knowing they were in imminent danger, several knew it was impossible for them not to confess. One of the guards gave useful information: "That day, it must be that day."
The prince asked, "How was that day?"
"That day, we ate pig's head meat and felt dizzy for no apparent reason and passed out."
The prince frowned: "How long have you been unconscious?"
The guard calculated the time: "About an hour and a half."
The prince scoffed, "In an hour and a half, how many men and carriages would it take to pull those things away without leaving any trace?"
The guard thought so and agreed. With so much supplies, it would take at least ten days or half a month to move them. With such a loud noise, it was impossible for people nearby not to know about it and it was impossible for them not to be alarmed.
If it wasn't the one and a half hours of unconsciousness, then when was it?
They have people squatting on the ground all the time.
Those treasures couldn't have disappeared without anyone noticing.
King Dongshan suspected that they were stealing from the company.
The prince thought so too.
Then they tortured severely and several people died. Even when their families were interrogated, they still refused to reveal the whereabouts of the deceased and insisted that they were not the ones who stole the property.
If King Dongshan can't find his treasure, he will lose his appetite.
Most importantly, there is no news about the assassins.
King Dongshan became more and more irritable, and his hair turned a lot whiter.
How could the King of Dongshan at this moment still be as majestic as he was when Yan Bao first met him?
King Dongshan gnashed his teeth and said, "Who did I offend this year? Why is everything going so wrong?"
The staff didn't know what to say. They already knew that Prince Dongshan had lost something valuable and was upset, but they didn't dare to be the first to take action.
Later, someone suggested that he go and pay his respects.
King Dongshan believed it and went to pay his respects.
There is still no news about the lost items.
And after those assassins, more than a dozen mutes in the city, were captured, they found that none of them was the little mute assassin. They had to admit that those assassins either ran away or hid too deeply.
After confirming the other party's identity, King Dongshan sent a number of people out: "We must not let anyone return to the capital alive."
Thinking of the dog emperor, King Dongshan's eyes darkened a little: "As soon as Concubine Jiang gives birth, whether it's a little princess or a little prince, take action immediately. I will make that child the next king."
Using the emperor to command the princes is the strategy of King De of Dongshan.
By then, if the little emperor dies, and the other princes want to survive, who else can become emperor except his uncle?
King Dongshan had no choice but to take a risk when he reached this point.
It was the dog emperor who forced him to do that.
If the fake prince's identity had not been exposed and the treasures had not been emptied, he would still have some patience and let the dog emperor live a few more days, as if he had been poisoned.
Now King Dongshan doesn't want to wait any longer.
Yan Bao didn't know what was happening on King Dongshan's side. After Master Li and the others woke up, they found that they had already left the city. Although they wanted to know how they did it, Yan Bao looked like he didn't want to tell them.
Master Li didn't ask any more questions.
As a master, he has never had much ability. Although his little disciple is a mute, he is very cunning and he can't beat him at all.
Fortunately, everyone escaped safely, which was also worthy of Shen Shoufu and his wife.
When he heard that they were going to Jingzhou, Master Li drove the carriage resignedly.
Later we took a boat and traveled a lot along the way, but fortunately we didn't encounter any assassins or other troubles.
The people on King Dongshan's side probably don't know that they have escaped.
Later, I went far away and knew even less about Wang De of Dongshan.
They ate and drank all the way, and it was five days later when they finally arrived at Jingzhou Wharf.
They did not inform Brother Shen about their arrival. They rented a carriage at the dock and the four of them took the carriage to the mansion where Brother Shen currently lived.
Not long after they got off the carriage, someone released a pigeon, which flew towards Dongzhou.
Yan Bao didn't know their whereabouts and was exposed in Jingzhou.
