When he was getting impatient, he finally saw a carriage with the Guo family pattern.

"The Third Master is really busy, it's so hard to see him!"

Urgutu traveled around the capital using the name of a merchant from the tribe.

So Guo Chuan didn't give him a good look, and he raised his head proudly as he usually did in front of the tribal merchants.

"I heard that some of the best leather has arrived. I'll come and take a look."

These words were spoken to the patrolling guards coming and going from Dongtaicang.

When they arrived in front of the Jiachen warehouse, Urgutu was no longer worried that Guo Chuan would get angry.

He sneered: "It is said that a tiger father will have a dog son. Compared with General Guo, the Third Master is really far behind."

"you!"

“Open the position!”

Guo Chuan was speechless. He had been scolded by his second brother in the mansion before, and now he had to endure this humiliation in front of Urgutu.

He snorted and asked the manager to open the warehouse door.

"Go in and check. Once you leave this door, I won't recognize you."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Guo Chuan's attitude made Urgutu inexplicably unhappy.

He called on his men to move the grain and told them to check it first.

The corner of Guo Chuan's mouth curled up slightly. He was the one who specifically asked the grain shop to do the trick.

Unless they pour out the entire bag of grain, there will be no clues just by looking at the surface of the grain.

Two thousand bags of grain could be exchanged for some silver, with which he could buy some gold and silver jewelry to please his sweetheart.

Guo Chuan was just thinking about good things when he saw a servant from the Guo Mansion running in hurriedly from outside.

"Third Master, something bad has happened!"

He slapped the boy on the head and said, "I'm fine, Third Master! What are you yelling about?"

"No! Third Master! Something is wrong in your yard!"

It was quarter of an hour ago.

Seeing that Guo Xi had no intention of leaving the study, Lu Jiao started to move around.

She first lit the kerosene in the woodshed and the kitchen, and even the small kitchen in Li Rufang's yard.

While the servants in the mansion were busy putting out the fire, she appeared above Guo Chuan's yard.

The entire General’s Mansion is in the shape of a Chinese character “中”.

The main courtyard is on the central axis, which is currently uninhabited.

There are two courtyards on both sides. The left one is the front courtyard study and Guo Xi's courtyard, and the right one is the guest courtyard and Guo Chuan's courtyard.

Lu Jiao was located in the northwest corner of the Guo family.

If Lu Jiao's mental power had substance, she would definitely look like a willow tree now, with thousands of "ribbons" hanging above the yard.

The servants inside were knocked unconscious silently and lay motionless.

Lu Jiao put all the things inside into the space, leaving Guo Chuan with only an empty yard.

Even the carved wooden bed made of golden nanmu was not left.

Countless treasures appeared in the open space in space like mushrooms after rain.

In order to distinguish them, Lu Jiao placed them somewhere far away from the original things.

Guo Chuan's private vault was filled with treasures, and the good things inside were even more than those in the second prince's courtyard.

By the time Lu Jiao had collected all the things inside, they were almost connected to the pile of gold and silver of the former crown prince.

Lu Jiao urgently cleaned it up again and separated the edges a little to prevent several treasures from being mixed together.

She also planned to find Lu Ze's mother's dowry list and pick out all the things that belonged to Lu Ze.

If they were mixed together, the workload would instantly double, and Lu Jiao felt a headache just thinking about it.

Looking at the pile of treasures that had appeared in the space, Lu Jiao felt that she could eat and drink for another twenty years without any problem.

She returned to the roof of the study in the front yard.

At this time, Guo Xi received the report from his servants, but he didn't care at all and had no intention of going to the fire scene to take a look.

This can't go on like this!

Lu Jiao had no choice but to wake Li Rufang up.

She looked at the empty dormitory. There were only walls and pillars left in the entire room. It looked so strange and terrifying.

Li Rufang screamed, "Help!"

Her cries for help attracted the old women who were sweeping the yard outside.

At first they didn't dare to enter the yard, but Li Rufang's voice sounded really miserable.

"How about we go in and take a look together?"

Several old women put down the brooms in their hands, gathered together, and walked towards the courtyard gate with their heads poked.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw several old women lying by the door. Thinking of the Third Madam's screams, he began to back out.

It can’t be haunted in broad daylight!

They were still hesitating at the gate of the courtyard when a woman stumbled out towards them.

Seeing them is like seeing a savior.

"Where is this? Where am I? Let me out!"

Li Rufang grabbed the hand of one of the old women and dug her onion-like nails into her arm.

"Ouch!" The old woman cried out in pain and took a step back.

When the other maid saw the bloodstains on the Third Lady's fingertips, she hurriedly half-supported Li Rufang, in fact, to restrain her.

"Madam, this is your Fangya Garden."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could my yard be so empty!"

The maids pointed to the plaque on the gate and said, "Madam, please look back."

Li Rufang supported the old woman's hand and felt like being struck by lightning when she saw the three words "Fang Yayuan" on the gate.

"There's a thief! Go report it to the police!"

After shouting, he fainted on the old women, and chaos broke out again.

Guo Xi hadn't been reading for long when another servant stumbled in, barely catching his breath.

"How can you be so reckless? Has the fire spread to the study?"

"No... no, it's the Second Master... it's the Third Master's yard... that was robbed!"

When Guo Xi heard the word "robbed", his brows began to twitch.

The emperor's private treasury was robbed, and the emperor was determined to capture the second prince and demand that the Guo family present a batch of treasures on this year's birthday.

If it were in the past, Guo Xi wouldn’t have had a headache.

But without Qinming Cottage, there will be a huge income gap that cannot be filled in a short time.

He put down the military book and asked, "What do the guards in the mansion do? How did they get robbed? Did my third brother's wife say anything specific about what was lost?"

"All...all lost."

"What is lost? Money?"

"No, everything, everything in the room, is gone.

Empty, only walls and pillars are left!"

Fortunately, Guo Xi was sitting on a throne with a backrest, otherwise he would have definitely fallen off the chair.

His brain was much sharper than Li Rufang's, and he figured out the pros and cons of the matter in an instant.

"Go and tell the chief steward to take my name card to Shuntian Prefecture to report the case!

By the way, send someone to bring the Third Master back.

It's better to make a big fuss and say that our house was robbed and all the valuables were stolen!"

"Yes!"

The servant repeated Guo Xi's instructions and walked out.

Guo Xi sat for a while, then suddenly stood up, took out the wooden box, and wrote another note.

Lu Jiao could see the contents of the note clearly.

Tsk tsk, they're planning to let her take the blame!
