The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, the servants of the marquis' mansion got up one after another and started a new day's work.
The women in the kitchen also came to the kitchen early to prepare breakfast for the masters of the Marquis' Mansion.
However, when she walked into the kitchen, she was stunned by what she saw.
The kitchen was empty. The place where rice, flour, cooking oil and other ingredients should have been stored was now empty.
Not only that, even the pots and pans in the kitchen disappeared without a trace.
The entire kitchen and small storeroom became empty, as if they had been looted overnight.
Jiang Ling had no intention of collecting these pots and pans. After all, they were things that had been used by others and he didn't care about them.
But then I thought, even though I can’t use it myself, I can give it to those in need.
The people from the Marquis’ Mansion can’t get away with it, huh!
So he put all the pots, pans, and utensils into the space and found a special place to put them.
The women looked at this strange scene and turned pale with fear. Was this a ghost?
They all screamed.
Their screams spread quickly like a plague, instantly alarming everyone in the mansion.
After hearing the screams, people living nearby rubbed their eyes in a daze and prepared to walk out of the room to see what was going on.
But they soon discovered that all the valuables in their room were gone...
"ah!!!"
"ah!!!"
"ah!!!"
"There's a ghost! Someone, come quickly!"
Screams of terror rang out one after another in every corner of the mansion.
Some said they saw ghosts, some said their house was robbed, and some said it was God's punishment on the Marquis's Mansion.
For a moment, the entire mansion fell into chaos, and fear enveloped everyone.
When Lord Jiang Jinghui learned about this, he ran to the warehouse with a dark face. When he saw the empty warehouse, he knelt down.
My heart was bleeding again, "It's over. All my life's hard work is gone."
Seeing two guards fainted in the corner, he asked someone to pour water on them to wake them up.
I was shaking with anger.
"What happened? You were looking at the warehouse, how did you faint?"
After learning about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion, the two were so scared that they knelt down.
"My Lord, we have been on guard duty the entire time. We never left the scene, not even blinking an eye. We didn't even know how we passed out until you just splashed water on us and woke us up."
Seeing that the two men did not seem to be lying, Jiang Jinghui was full of doubts. Who on earth had such great ability to empty the Marquis' Mansion without anyone knowing?
He thought about it carefully and realized that no one he knew, whether enemies or friends, seemed to have this ability.
Is it really as those servants said, that it was ghosts causing trouble?
Impossible, how could there be ghosts in this world!
At this moment, Lin Rumeng, who had just checked her own small treasury, found that it was also empty and cried heartbreakingly.
She was in a daze when she heard that the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion had also been looted, and she fainted immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Li, Aunt Bai, Aunt Qiu and a group of children came towards the main courtyard crying, hoping that the Marquis could make the decision for them.
However, they had no idea that the one who suffered the most losses in this incident was the Marquis himself.
When they saw the Marquis slumped on the steps in a daze, they cried even harder.
"My Lord, let's report it to the police immediately. Maybe the thief hasn't gone far yet!"
The Marquis's Mansion, who were still discussing reporting the matter to the authorities, was unaware of this.
The secret guards have informed the emperor of their bizarre incident.
The emperor became gloomy when he heard the secret guard talk about the bizarre incident.
"Did you see everything clearly? No one entered or left. Is there a secret passage in the mansion?"
The secret guard nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen clearly that no one has entered or left, and there is no secret passage in the Marquis's mansion."
After hearing the secret guard's answer, the emperor did not speak immediately, but pondered for a while.
"You think this is a play written and directed by the Marquis's family? Then why did he do that?" He shook his head and denied his hypothesis.
If it is not man-made, then this matter is beyond common sense.
They emptied out a marquis's mansion without anyone noticing. If they wanted to kill them, wouldn't they be dead already?
Then his palace doesn't seem safe either.
Don't blame the emperor for being suspicious; this is a disease that every emperor suffers from.
Looking at the secret guards, the emperor increased the number of people protecting him.
"If the Marquis' Mansion reports this to the authorities, please send more people to keep an eye on this matter. I want to know every detail."
He couldn't sleep or eat until he figured out this matter.
He was afraid that one day, thieves would suddenly come to his palace quietly.
This was a very embarrassing situation for an emperor like him. His life was hanging in the balance in his own territory.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out on the emperor's back.
Sure enough, Jiang Ling had just walked to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and was about to have breakfast.
I saw a group of people from the Marquis' Mansion going to the yamen with sad faces to report to the authorities.
He asked out of curiosity, but no one paid any attention to him.
Okay, they are too sad to care about outsiders.
As an outsider, he should stay out of other people's business!
While humming "Good Days", he went to eat his favorite wontons. If he didn't eat a few more meals, he wouldn't be able to eat them later.
A group of people from the Marquis' Mansion walked to the yamen, and Lord Zhao, who had been specifically instructed by the secret guards, carefully recorded their information.
He personally led two teams to the Marquis' Mansion to inspect the scene and collect more information.
Their goal was clear. When they arrived at the marquis's mansion, the two teams separated to check the scene.
A team of people went to the Marquis's main courtyard, study, warehouse, wife's courtyard and small warehouse.
Another group of people went to the yard of the aunt and the children.
They saw that except for the precious and valuable items, everything else was in the yard.
They were seen holding swords, iron rods, and leaving no corner, ground, wall, etc. untouched.
Their actions were so meticulous and strange that Jiang Jinghui and Lin Rumeng, who were standing by, were a little confused. Why did they do these things? Did they suspect that there was a secret passage in the Marquis' Mansion?
Something he himself doesn't know!
Why do these officers and soldiers have such doubts?
Staring at their movements, Jiang Jinghui thought of countless possibilities.
Could it be that someone really has their eyes on the Marquis' Mansion, and has been planning this for a long time?
Looking at the empty warehouse, my heart was bleeding and a fierce look flashed in my eyes, no matter who it was.
Jiang Jinghui will definitely make him pay the price.
He thought of countless enemies, but never thought of Jiang Ling. In his eyes, how could a cowardly and incompetent bastard do such a thing?
What a waste, not worthy of his suspicion.
………………
The Prime Minister's Mansion was also emptied, but he did not dare to report it to the authorities. Whether the warehouse was emptied or his second son Zisungen was deposed, he could only bear it for the time being.
He was afraid that this was a trap set for him.
Because the thieves only left him the dragon throne and dragon robe!
