Chapter 1086 Only Empty Houses Remain, the 3rd House in the Row
Judging from the current situation, the Shui family's courtyard is empty, the treasury courtyard is empty, and as for the prince's private treasury... I'm not sure if the gang of thieves found it.
The only remaining place with the most valuables is the former Princess Zhang Miaoying's courtyard—where her entire dowry is still stored!
That's why the prince ordered me to immediately drive everyone out of the main courtyard and lock the main courtyard gate!
Yin Fu is now filled with despair!
Looking at the Shui family's courtyard, looking at the treasury, and then thinking back to the previous Qinxing Marquis's residence, if he still doesn't realize that neither the gate, the lock, nor the high courtyard wall could stop that mysterious band of thieves, then he is a complete and utter fool!
However, it's still necessary to go and see for yourself!
Upon arriving at the main courtyard gate and seeing the large lock on it, Yin Fu did not delegate the task to a servant. Instead, he personally stepped forward, mechanically took out the key, mechanically unlocked the lock, and mechanically pushed open the gate…
Apart from the lack of usual crowds, everything in the courtyard was as usual.
Yin Fu led two servants through the corridors, across the small bridges, and around the flower bushes that had lost their flowers, until they arrived at the house where Zhang Miaoying had previously lived.
Whether it was from suffering too many blows... or from becoming numb... or from developing a calmer mindset... Yin Fu walked forward blankly and pushed open the door...
He had no expectations, he just wanted to confirm... and he did confirm... the house was empty!
This house used to be lavishly furnished, but now it's completely empty!
"To the warehouse!"
Yin Fuduo didn't want to look at it at all and directly ordered two servants to help him to the storeroom in the backyard.
When I got there, I only glanced at it before turning around and leaving. It was empty and desolate; there was no point in looking any longer!
"Let's go back to the front yard, to the Prince's study!"
Yin Fu gave the order in a faint, ethereal voice.
The servant responded and helped Yin Fu to the forbidden area of Prince Yi's mansion—the prince's study.
It's not far from the courtyard where the study is located; you can even see the courtyard gate as far as the eye can see.
Just then, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian walked towards the study from another direction.
Both of them felt something was wrong as soon as they woke up—even if they went to bed in the middle of the night, they had never slept through the night like they did today!
First, Jiang Fang was awakened by the blinding light shining into the room.
After sitting up, Jiang Fang saw the time and broke out in a cold sweat!
The Prince Yi's mansion is currently very busy, and the prince is still unconscious. As a result, those who serve as his retainers and advisors are sleeping soundly until dawn...
If the prince knew about this, what would he think of them?
Jiang Fang hurriedly dressed and washed up, then went next door to wake Tong Lian.
Tong Lian was also confused when she woke up, not understanding why she had slept so soundly and woke up so late!
After tidying up quickly, the two headed towards the study.
As they approached, they encountered the head steward, Yin Fu, who was being supported by two servants and looked like he was half-dead.
"Master Steward, what's wrong?"
"Yes, is the head butler ill?"
Why do you look... so unwell?
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian asked the questions one after the other.
Seeing Jiang Fang and Tong Lian, the steward Yin Fu regained some of his energy.
"Gentlemen, you are unaware of the truth, but our Prince Yi's residence... our Prince Yi's residence... has been robbed!"
"what?"
Upon hearing the steward Yin Fu's words, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian exchanged a surprised glance. "Thieved?"
What kind of thief?
What kind of thief dares to steal from our Prince Yi's mansion?
But some silver has gone missing from the accounting office in the front yard.
Or was the jewelry stolen from one of the courtyards in the inner quarters?
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian had no idea how serious the situation really was!
"Neither of those nor of those!"
Yin Fu waved his hand weakly.
"If it's just some silver missing from the accounting office, or a few pieces of jewelry missing from some courtyard in the back residence... those are minor matters!"
Now... now the new princess's courtyard is empty, the manor's storerooms are empty!
"what?"
Before Yin Fu could finish speaking, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Not only are the new princess's courtyard and the mansion's storerooms empty, but even the late princess's main courtyard is empty!"
I just came from there. In the late princess's room, only the roof, walls and floor remain. There isn't a single piece of paper left!
The storerooms where the late princess's dowry was stored were also empty!
Everything is gone!
Yin Fu said weakly.
"what?"
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian were so shocked that they could only ask "What?" over and over again in disbelief, and for a moment they didn't know what to say!
Yin Fu then took the large sheets of paper that the servant was holding and handed them to Jiang Fang and Tong Lian so they could see them.
"Heaven's will—the Prince Yi's Mansion is the third to accept ill-gotten gains!"
Tong Lian subconsciously read it aloud.
"The third one?"
What third company?
Tong Lian couldn't think of anything else at the moment.
Seeing that Tong Lian hadn't expected this, Yin Fu had no choice but to explain it to them...
"Mr. Tong, have you forgotten?"
Not long ago, didn't the Qinxing Marquis's mansion also lose all its valuables overnight?
Wasn't it also completely robbed, leaving only an empty house?
The two gentlemen did not actually see the courtyards of the new and late queens, nor the storerooms of the mansion...
Just like before, only empty rooms remain!
