Chapter 358: Stewardship (5)
Li Shiliu didn't care at all about Li Yue'er and Butler Tong who had collapsed on the ground and couldn't stand up, and just asked the guards who came with the dowry to keep an eye on the scene.
Not long after, Lu Fuyin arrived with a few capable detectives. They arrived very quickly.
When seeing the empty storehouse of Duke Yue's mansion where even mice were unwilling to patronize, Prefect Lu could not help but frown. While stroking his carefully maintained beard, several thoughts quickly turned in his mind.
The speed with which Princess Sheng'an acted was truly astonishing; she had just gotten married yesterday, and today she had already taken action to repay her parents.
However, thinking back to the grand wedding scene yesterday, the emperor and the eldest princess who came specially to watch the ceremony obviously fully supported Princess Sheng'an, and even specially transferred the Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan.
If not, how could Princess Sheng'an, who is not of authentic royal blood, have the confidence to do such a shocking thing?
Tong Guoan's troops who were sent out to suppress the bandits had not even stepped out of the city gate for thirty miles when they encountered such a misfortune. If he knew about this, he would probably be furious!
After all, in this Yuan capital, there are meritorious nobles and important officials everywhere. If you throw a plaque casually, it can at least hit two third-rank officials.
Anyone who could serve as the prefect of Yuanjing City must have extraordinary means, at least in terms of guessing the emperor's mind, he must be outstanding. Otherwise, this person would have left this position in disgrace.
At this time, Prefect Lu, who had roughly understood the situation, bowed slightly to Princess Sheng'an Li Shiliu, who looked calm and as if everything was under control, and said, "Princess, please move over here and talk."
Li Shiliu smiled and nodded slightly, then walked lightly to the corridor with Lu Fuyin. She also deliberately asked the maid Feicui to stand not far away, and then asked Lu Fuyin: "Master Lu, did you find anything when you were investigating the crime scene just now?"
"I was just about to report this to you, my Lord.
After a survey just now, I found that there was a lot of dust in the storehouse, which showed that no one had set foot here for a long time. From this, I can infer that the theft in the storehouse may not have happened recently.
In addition, there were no signs of damage to doors, windows or door locks at the crime scene.
In my opinion, if this theft was committed by an outsider, it would be impossible to do it so cleanly. After all, it is not easy to steal such a huge amount of gold and silver treasures.
Even if there were one or two strong men, it would be difficult to move all the belongings within a day or two.
Moreover, there were so many things stored in the warehouse that it was impossible for the thief to empty the entire warehouse without leaving any traces.
In my humble opinion, there must be someone who is familiar with the inside story involved in this case, otherwise it would be impossible for the thieves to act so meticulously and without any loopholes.
As the saying goes, no matter how many precautions you take, you can never prevent a thief from within your own home..."
"Okay, I understand. This is not something we should have done today, and the case must be very complicated."
Li Shiliu sighed slightly and continued, "After all, I just married into the Duke of Yue's mansion yesterday, and I don't know much about the people and things in the mansion.
My mother-in-law has been bedridden for a long time and lacks energy. She has not managed household affairs for many years. The household affairs in the mansion have always been managed by Li Yue'er, the favorite concubine of Lord Tong Guoan.
The key to the warehouse has always been in the possession of Mr. Tong’s most trusted butler, Tong.
