Chapter 26 Wang Zhizhou investigates the theft in Shangshu Mansion, Qi Meng is so angry that he vomi

Wang Zhizhou came out of the palace and went straight to the Shangshu Mansion on an empty stomach. Naturally, he was in a bad mood. Seeing that the door was closed to visitors, he quickly asked the servant beside him to knock on the door.

The doorman of Shangshu Mansion heard someone knocking on the door, but he didn't open it immediately. He wondered why someone would come up to cause trouble at this time. "Who is it? We are not welcoming guests to Shangshu Mansion today."

The servant at the door was also unwilling to give in. "Our master is here on the emperor's orders to investigate the theft in the Shangshu Mansion. Hurry up and open the door. You have the guts to delay our master's business."

When the doorman heard this, he was shocked. How could he blurt out all those words? He opened the door and welcomed Wang Zhizhou in, with a flattering look on his face, "Sir, I am sorry for the rudeness. It is true that something big happened in the mansion. I am afraid that someone will come to inquire about it, so I closed the door and refused to see you."

Wang Zhizhou's face was not good, but there was no need to argue with a servant. "Your master has a wife, there must be someone who can be the master of the house!"

At this time, the butler just walked over. The doorman hurried forward to talk to him. The butler immediately showed a flattering look on his face, "I didn't know Lord Wang was coming. I am really rude. Please come with me to the lobby for a cup of tea."

The housekeeper quickly sent someone to inform the lady that the master was still lying in bed and had not woken up yet!

Wang Zhizhou felt better as he watched the cakes and tea being served. A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Wenmei hurried over. He looked at his wife's delicate makeup. The mansion had not been completely robbed, otherwise she would have been bare-faced long ago.

Zheng Wenmei is also an old hand, so she naturally knows that the Dali Temple Minister is not to be trifled with. "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Wang, for making this trip. I don't know why our mansion has suffered such a disaster. Have other families in Shengjing City lost anything?"

Wang Zhizhou put down the teacup in his hand and lifted his outer robe. "I have never heard of similar things happening in other people's houses. Madam, please recall whether the house has offended anyone recently, or whether there are any enemies."

Zheng Wenmei suddenly thought of something, with a sad face, "Our family has only offended the Prime Minister recently, and we have always been very honest and dutiful. Our master is even more dedicated to the people. We can't let such a small matter cause unrest in our family. Now our family can't even make ends meet."

He didn't believe what this lady said at all. The Prime Minister's salary was much higher than his, and he was the future father-in-law of the Crown Prince. How could he possibly covet such a small fortune?

"Madam, this is very serious. I will find out what caused it. Please give me a list of the lost items so that I can search for them in the market."

The nanny beside him had already prepared it and handed it to Wang Zhizhou. He and Qi Meng were just nodding acquaintances, and he had many important cases on his side. How could he investigate this matter personally? He could just let the people below practice.

As soon as Wang Zhizhou left, Qi Meng opened his eyes and saw a group of people rushing towards the master's room.

Zheng Wenmei glared, and the other concubines could only cry silently behind them. It was because the mistress at home was too overbearing. Not only did she not allow them to have children, but they were not even allowed to visit the master today.

Everyone was only concerned about Qi Meng's life or death, and ignored the woman with a sinister smile behind him. She was looking in the direction of the yard, not as delicate as the others, but smiling happily. However, it made people feel inexplicably sad.

"Aunt, do you think the master is really going to die this time? I heard that there is nothing left in our house. What are we going to do in the future?"

The woman smiled with her red lips, stroking the red Kou Dan on her slender fingers, "Why should we worry? She's just a concubine. If you have no money, go to the Madam. Isn't she always proud of being a housekeeper? Let her worry about it! We just need to live our own lives."

The maidservant did not dare to react. She always felt that something was wrong with the aunt today and thought that she was too worried about the master's illness.

When Qi Meng opened her eyes, she saw a group of people around her. She looked at her wife anxiously, "How many things were lost in our house?"

Zheng Wenmei's face was not looking good either. She wiped away the tears that were about to disappear from her eyelids and said, "All the money in the master's house was stolen. Even my daughter's was not spared. I have already reported it to the police."

The Shangshu's wife was still wiping her tears, seeking the master's concern, but the other party yelled at her.

"Who told you to report it to the police? Go and cancel it immediately. We don't need to report our family affairs to the police. Just treat this money as if we lost it."

Qi Meng was speaking weakly now, but his eyes were fixed on his wife, insisting that she withdraw the case.

Zheng Wenmei was puzzled. The situation in the mansion had already become like this, so why couldn't she report it to the police? "The master can't live happily in the mansion anymore, are you still afraid of losing face? Now the whole court knows that our Shangshu Mansion was robbed. This is the emperor's oral order, and Zhang Zhizhou has already been to our mansion."

When Qi Meng heard this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

She was confused by this operation. Was the master trying to evade responsibility, or was his health really failing? Thinking about the current situation in the mansion, she felt tired and had no choice but to go to her parents' home to borrow money.

The theft caused an uproar in Shengjing City. Many people directly transferred their property or increased the number of guards. All this happened under the emperor's eyes.

The emperor listened to the news from the secret guards, his expression changing from gloomy to bright. "Look at these powerful people, they are actually most worried about these material possessions. The Eighth Prince has lived half his life, but he is so nervous today."

The emperor was watching the performance of each prince, and then listened to the investigation of the secret guards.

"It was normal for the Crown Prince to return to his palace. However, the Crown Princess later entered the palace. I don't know what happened. When she came out, it was already past noon."

"When the Second Prince returned to the palace, he had someone check the storeroom. The Third Prince did not react, but the Eighth Prince had someone strictly guard the storeroom and the study."

The emperor laughed. His sons were all about the same age, but their mindsets were very different.

He waved his hand, asked the secret guards to retreat, and said to the chief eunuch beside him, "Qi Xingming, why did the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince stay in the room for so long? What were they talking about?"

Qi Xingming was even more embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. How could he answer about his master's affairs, which might even involve private matters?

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both young people, and it is inevitable for them to talk about love and communicate their feelings. Your Majesty has also experienced this, right?"

The emperor laughed loudly, "You slave, you are making up stories about the prince. Be careful if he finds out, or he will never forgive you."

Qi Xingming poured a cup of tea for the emperor, tested the temperature to see if it was just right, and then placed it on the table. "I was just chatting with the emperor, but I didn't say anything. The prince can't blame me."

The second prince was also sitting in the study room, fidgeting. "Zhou Ping, do you think this matter is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion? After all, this matter in the Shangshu Mansion is too strange."

Zhou Ping fiddled with the beads in his hand, turning them in circles, his thoughts spinning along with them. This was too weird. "It's unlikely. According to our investigation, everything in the Shangshu Mansion's warehouse is gone. There are dozens of boxes, not just a few things. There must be traces after they were shipped out, but the Shangshu Mansion didn't even find a footprint."

The second prince thought more and more that something was wrong. "What is there to steal in the Shangshu Mansion? Is there any secret in the Shangshu Mansion? That's why they were targeted?"

Zhou Ping suddenly thought of something, but he didn't catch it. "Second Prince, I think we can send someone to explore the Shangshu Mansion at night. I think Qi Meng must be hiding something."

The second prince thought of Qi Mingyu, who had always been thinking about the prince. If he married her, would he get the help of the minister?

Zhou Ping disagreed after hearing this. He said that Qi Meng didn't know which side he belonged to yet, so he couldn't act rashly. But the Second Prince wanted to meet Qi Mingyu in advance. Could it be that he was not as attractive as the Crown Prince?
