Chapter 602 Difficult Husband and Difficult Wife (16)
The Marquis covered his chest with his hands, and as he looked at the whole box of stones, his legs went limp, and his back leaned against the stacked mahogany boxes.
The father and son looked at the red box in the secret room at the same time, and suddenly terrifying thoughts came to their minds.
Lu Haoran broke out in a cold sweat, his lips trembling: "No! No!!"
Lu Haoran picked up the axe on the ground. The excitement on his face was gone, and he was replaced by panic.
As the sound of the padlock falling to the ground was heard, Lu Haoran did not open the box immediately.
Instead, he took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and prayed unconsciously in his heart.
The Marquis' eyes widened, his heart hanging in the air.
Then he mustered up his courage and opened the box with force.
When Lu Haoran saw the gray and dull stone, his breathing stopped and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
He held the axe tightly in his hand and muttered to himself: "How could it be? How could it be a stone?"
After saying this, Lu Haoran was filled with anger and he picked up an axe and started chopping at the locks of the boxes.
The Marquis was also hit hard and his body was shaking.
As more than a dozen boxes were opened, they were all filled with gray stones without exception, without any trace of gold, silver or jewelry.
Lu Haoran went completely crazy. He pushed over boxes of opened stones and started chopping them randomly, muttering, "Where's my money?"
The secret room was in a mess, with stones of all sizes scattered on the ground. The Marquis had collapsed on the ground with a dead heart.
Lu Haoran was still unwilling to accept the fact and continued to chop the remaining boxes with his injured and bleeding hands.
When the Marquis saw that his hair was disheveled and he looked crazy, he stood up and walked over with a feeling of disappointment.
He slapped him and said, "What on earth is going on? Why did everything turn into stone?"
Lu Haoran was also confused and shook his head: "I don't know."
"You don't know? You worked so hard to plan it, even colluding with bandits to get it, but it turned into stone. You say you don't know why?!"
The Marquis' voice rose eight degrees, showing how furious he was.
"Was it replaced by Sang Biao, or is it originally a stone? Tell me the whole process of stealing this thing."
The Marquis slapped the mahogany boxes angrily. As excited as he was when he saw these mahogany boxes just now, they were now as irritating to him.
After hearing his son's description, the Marquis' face turned red with anger: "So, you don't even know whether these stones were exchanged during the journey or whether they were stones from the beginning?"
"Stupid! How could I give birth to such a fool like you? Shouldn't you check the goods the first time you see them?"
"How could you not keep an eye on something so valuable the whole time? You were even stupid enough to let Sang Biao's people take over such an important step."
"Are you stupid?!"
Lu Haoran opened his mouth but couldn't defend himself. Thinking of taking advantage, Lu Haoran didn't let his men move the boxes.
Instead, he searched the manor with his men and killed the servants who were asleep.
During this period, he really didn't know whether the first batch of boxes transported to the ruined temple would be replaced with stones.
As for the second and third batches, he stayed in the ruined temple after delivering the first batch, so Sang Biao would have more time to switch the batches.
Lu Haoran thought about this and grabbed his head in annoyance: "Father, what should I do now?"
"What should we do? What else can we do? Quickly and secretly take a group of people to search and see where these things are."
"If we can find it, it's fine. But if we can't, we'll lose both the lady and the army."
The Marquis felt very painful when he thought about the huge amount of money his family had spent to keep silent and to bribe the city gate officials because of this matter.
The Marquis was so angry that his head hurt. He shook his sleeves and left the secret room.
Lu Haoran looked at the box that was still half empty, held on to a glimmer of hope, and continued with the axe.
This went on until late at night, but luck did not come. All the six hundred-plus boxes of dowry were gray stones, without exception.
Lu Haoran sat in this secret room for a whole night. The next day, with a dark look in his eyes, he gathered people to search around Xu Jinyi's manor.
Xu Jinyi also heard the news and came back with the dog which was still in a coma.
Liuli rushed back that night, so when she saw Xu Jinyi's carriage appear, she knelt down at the door with tears streaming down her face.
"Miss, the warehouse was looted and all our money is gone."
"Uh...Miss, what should we do?"
Liuli performed this role very well, and Xu Jinyi didn't expect that she had such a side.
His face turned pale as she spoke, and he sat down, saying in disbelief: "No, it won't happen. That's the life's work of my parents. How could it be gone?"
"No, no."
In the crowd, Lu Haoran's servant saw this and quietly left, and told Lu Haoran what happened here.
As Xu Jinyi fainted, the onlookers dispersed.
Liuli was arranged by Xu Jinyi to spread some things, while Liuyun, who was unaware of the situation, stayed behind to take care of Xu Jinyi.
As soon as Xu Jinyi entered the room, she woke up and did not notice that the puppy in her arms moved.
"Miss, don't be sad. Money is just a thing outside of your body. If it's gone, it's gone. At least you are still alive."
"Fortunately, we went up the mountain to pray, otherwise more than a dozen people would have been in trouble."
Xu Jinyi nodded, tears in her eyes: "Liuyun, the dead are the greatest. After all, they died in the manor. Here is some money. You can use it to bury them and give some money to their families."
Liuyun shook his head: "Miss, the dowry is gone, and we have to save the remaining money. The general and the princess are still waiting for you to go back and save them, and there is still a lot of money to spend."
"Take it. I have a way to deal with the money. Besides, rescuing my father and mother will take more than a day or two. Unless I have the chance to meet the emperor, it will be useless even if I have evidence."
The moment Di Zisheng woke up, he grasped the key words in Xu Jinyi's words, and guessed the identity of the woman in front of him from her words.
Looking up, his deep eyes were full of amazement.
With just this one glance, he confirmed the identity of the woman in front of him: the legitimate daughter of General Zhennan and the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Thinking of the conversation she had just had with the maid, the emperor stared at his little paws feeling powerless.
Feeling extremely puzzled, he responded to Xu Jinyi's words in his heart: "I am right in front of you, and I know that your father was framed, but I am in such a situation that I can't take care of myself anymore."
He was the one who promoted General Zhennan, so his loyalty was beyond doubt. The first thing Prince Yan did after taking control of his body was to operate on him. Di Zisheng was not surprised at all.
Just listening to what this maid said, why did Di Zisheng feel that the misfortune of the little girl in front of him seemed to be caused by him?
Di Zisheng touched his nose, but forgot that his claws were very sharp at this moment. He accidentally scratched his nose, and made a little noise because of the pain.
