After a while, more than 30 secret guards came down from the secret passage in the yard. The leader was Bai Lang, Murong Tianyu's personal secret guard and the leader of the Wolf Camp. He came in and walked directly to Murong Tianyu to report, "Master! Everyone is here."

"Um"

Murong Tianyu immediately ordered, "Wolf Three, take a few people along this secret passage and check if there is anything unusual in the cave."

"Yes, sir." An San, along with nearly ten of his men, opened the door of the secret passage behind them and left quickly.

"Lang Yi, you go to Jingzhao Prefecture and the Dali Temple to report the case. Do you know what to say?"

"Master, I know." Then he turned and left.

"Lang Er, take a few people with you and go get information secretly to see if anyone is targeting this government."

"Yes! Master!" Lang Er also left with several of his men.

There were still White Wolf and a few secret guards left in the secret passage.

Bai Lang looked at Murong Tianyu and said, "Master, could the bandits this time be the same people who robbed Nangong Villa?"

"Well, it's possible. Bailang, you go out of the secret passage quietly and go to the valley to inform Murong Tianrong and ask him to increase his vigilance.

"Yes! Master!"

"Go!"

White Wolf turned around and walked a few steps before returning and saying, "Master, I have an idea but I don't know if I should tell you or not."

"Tell me about it!" At this moment, Murong Tianyu's face did not show at all the brutality he had just shown in the murder.

"We can send people to keep an eye on the pawnshops or the black market items. Since they have emptied my warehouse and Nangong Villa, there are countless good things here, and they must be selling them."

"Master! As long as we start the investigation from this aspect, this thief might be uncovered soon."

Murong Tianyu glanced at Bai Lang. He didn't expect that Bai Lang could think of this. So far, the government has been investigating the case of Nangong Villa for the past few days, but has not found any clues. It's like the other party appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Your method is feasible. Please have someone keep a close eye on this matter."

"Yes, sir!" After saying that, Bai Lang opened the secret door in the secret passage and left.

Murong Tianyu walked back with the remaining secret guards.

Imperial Palace Qianqing Palace

The morning is in full swing

Emperor Qian closed his eyes and leaned back on his dragon throne, which symbolized the emperor's supreme power. Listening to the ministers' chattering, who knew what he was thinking.

At the morning court session, the ministers discovered that the position of the Minister of Revenue Murong Tianyu was vacant. After a while, Murong Tianyu sent someone to ask for leave.

Everyone started discussing the Nangong Villa incident. At this time, the Dali Temple Minister was reporting on the Nangong Villa case. He lowered his head and trembled as he reported, "Your Majesty, this case is very strange. I have not been able to find any traces, nor did I see any wheel marks on the ground."

The emperor opened his eyes and said, "This is a serious matter. My dear ministers, what do you think?"

Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. The whole Shuyou City has been discussing this strange incident in the past few days. Now they are expressing their opinions and discussing this case.

At this moment, the prefect of Jingzhao hurriedly reported outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture requests to see you." The shrill voice of the eunuch sounded.

"Proclaim"

The prefect of Jingzhao quickly entered the hall and knelt down in the middle of the hall. "Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"

"What do you want to report?" the emperor asked with a smile. The emperor was in a very good mood these days because the poisonous insects in his body had been removed and his body was gradually recovering.

"Your Majesty, another bandit has appeared in the capital, and the Murong Marquis's mansion has been robbed."

"The Murong Marquis's mansion was robbed?" The emperor was surprised when he heard this. He suddenly felt that this matter was indeed a bit strange. Murong Tianyu was the brother-in-law of Nangong Zehong, the owner of Nangong Villa. How could his mansion be robbed? Could this notorious thief be targeting...

At this time, the words of Jingzhao Prefecture Prefect sounded again, interrupting Emperor Qian's thoughts. "Yes, Your Majesty. Murong Marquis's mansion was robbed. Murong Tianyu sent someone to Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate. He also went to the Dali Temple to report the case, saying... saying... his yard and his father Murong Changhua's yard, even the flowers and plants were stolen by the thieves. Not only that, but they also emptied their warehouses and granaries."

"Well, is this true? All the items were moved out? Who has such great ability? He was able to empty two courtyards and two warehouses overnight, and no one in the city found out." The emperor felt a little bit unbelievable. This was really incredible.

The prefect of Jingzhao nodded his head like a rattle, "Yes, yes, I went to Marquis Murong's mansion as soon as I received the report, and it is true." After receiving the report, the prefect of Jingzhao did not believe it at all. He took people to Marquis Murong's mansion, and was shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. He hurried to the palace to report.

When the ministers heard the news, they also found it incredible and started to discuss it. Many people were very scared because they didn't want the thief to go to their house.

"Could it be that the people from Nangong City came to commit the crime? Why did they only rob Nangong Villa and Murong Marquis' Mansion?"

"Is he looking for something? I'm afraid this person has some ulterior motive," they started discussing again.

Emperor Qian was still very puzzled and asked the ministers who were discussing the matter below, "My dear ministers, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this kind of theft could not be done by just one bandit. It must be a gang. And they are very familiar with the Murong Marquis's mansion."

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, could it be that the emperor is embezzling money?" This minister had a grudge against Murong Tianyu.

His words also made many people have this doubt.

"Your Majesty, I think so too. How come this thief is like a god descending from heaven?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think so. I still think it was a gang of thieves. It is impossible for Nangong Villa to blow up its own villa. Your Majesty, we must thoroughly investigate this matter, otherwise the whole Shuyou City will be in panic." This was said by an old minister.

Emperor Qian frowned, nodded and said to the Crown Prince, "Jun'er! I'll leave this matter to you. You, the Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Prefecture will work together to quickly investigate this matter."

"Yes! Father!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qian said, "The city defense army and the imperial guards must step up their defense of Shuyou City. The fourth prince's wedding will be in a few days, and we must ensure absolute safety during this wedding."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The morning court ended with the emperor's words, "If you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please adjourn the court."
