Chapter 95 Prime Minister Huo learned that the warehouse was empty
Shen Rou rode all the way to Yunzhou. When she arrived in Bingzhou and Yongzhou, she bought many strange things and cakes at the market and took them back to her family.
Thinking about the first time she met her sister's master, she didn't know what he liked. It happened that she had searched Prime Minister Huo's warehouse and found a hundred-year-old ginseng in it. She decided to give the ginseng to him. It was most appropriate for him to give ginseng to a doctor since he was a doctor.
She thought with joy of her family's surprised expressions when they received the gifts, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and she spurred her horse to gallop towards Yunzhou.
The day after Shen Rou left, Prime Minister Huo was sitting in his study when the housekeeper brought him a letter. "Master, this is news sent by the Crown Prince."
The prince has been out of the palace for more than a year, and the emperor has not yet intended to call him back, which makes Prime Minister Huo uneasy.
The palace currently houses the eldest and fourth princes, both of whom are deeply favored by the emperor. The third prince is training in the military camp with Prince Mu. The crown prince is forced to remain in exile, and over time, there is no longer a place for the crown prince in the palace.
The Xue family fell and the Ye family rose. The emperor gave the fourth prince to Concubine Hui to raise and promoted Ye Hansen to the Minister of Revenue. It can be seen how much the emperor values the Ye family and the honors he gives to the Ye family have surpassed those to the Huo family.
The Ye family's current status is comparable to that of the Huo family and the He family. What will happen when Concubine Hui gives birth to a prince?
Although his granddaughter was pregnant, he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. As long as the prince didn't return to the palace, Prime Minister Huo would be worried.
He muttered to himself, "No, the prince must return to the palace and be valued by the emperor. Only then will the Huo family have a future. Otherwise, it won't be long before the Huo family slowly comes to an end."
He quickly wrote a letter and gave it to the butler, ordering the butler to spread the news as soon as possible.
After sitting and thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the secret door. The scene inside the secret compartment stunned him. He stared blankly at the empty warehouse, his heart full of shock and confusion.
The secret compartment contained his savings of many years and priceless treasures, but now everything was gone. His head was buzzing, his thoughts were in a mess, and blood rushed to his forehead.
After a moment, he covered his chest with his hands, a painful expression on his face, his stomach churning, a mouthful of blood spurting out, and everything in front of him turned dark as he fell down.
The dull sound attracted the butler who was guarding the study door, and he hurriedly shouted: "Master..."
After waiting for a while, no one answered. He shouted again, but still no one answered. He hurriedly pushed open the door of the study. He glanced around the study but didn't see Prime Minister Huo. He was puzzled. The master was there just now, so why was there no one here?
When he walked inside and saw Prime Minister Huo lying on the ground, he shouted anxiously: "Master... Master... please wake up! Someone come quickly... Someone come quickly..."
Soon, the servants and Mrs. Huo arrived. The study was in chaos. Mrs. Huo ordered the maid to go to the palace to call the imperial physician, while shouting: "Master, please wake up! ..."
No matter how she called out to Prime Minister Huo, there was no response.
The housekeeper and the servants carried Prime Minister Huo to the bed. When Prime Minister Huo's three sons learned that their father had fainted, they rushed back.
The eldest son Huo Chao called the housekeeper to the side to ask about the situation. The housekeeper told him in detail what happened in Prime Minister Huo's study.
Huo Chao hurried to the study and looked at the empty darkroom, thinking about something. He quickly said, "Butler, don't tell anyone about this. Wait until Dad wakes up."
"Yes."
The imperial physician rushed over, and after some treatment, Prime Minister Huo slowly opened his eyes and looked at his son and wife in front of him.
"What's wrong with me?"
They hurriedly asked with concern: "Master, you are awake. You were in good health all along, how could you suddenly faint?"
He kept muttering about fainting, and suddenly thought of the scene before he fainted, and suddenly he was furious and said: "Who is it? Who dares to treat me like this?"
"Sir, what did you say?"
Prime Minister Huo looked at his son and quickly ordered, "Leave the others behind."
Mrs. Huo said in disbelief: "Am I going out too?"
"I have something to discuss with them."
Although Mrs. Huo was confused, she still led the servants out of the room.
"Dad, what happened? You fainted from anger."
"There's a secret compartment in my study. It contains all the wealth of our Huo family. Today, when I opened it, it was empty. Even the shelves where I put things were placed were gone."
The three Huo brothers were shocked. "How could it be empty? Who stole it? It's understandable that a thief stole property, but it's impossible to steal the shelf."
"How come no one in the mansion, with so many servants and patrolling guards, discovered the thief's whereabouts? Besides, our Huo family must have accumulated a lot of wealth over three generations. It's impossible for so many things to disappear without a trace."
"Boss, what you said is true. I suspect there is a traitor in the mansion colluding with outsiders to steal our storehouse."
"Dad, I wonder who has the ability to carry so many things away without being discovered."
"Every servant in our house is a suspect, and the most likely one is the housekeeper. He has been in our house the longest and knows everything about our house."
"Because of Xier's accident some time ago, I was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention to whether the warehouse had been opened. When I opened it today, everything was gone, not even a hair was left."
"Dad, that's what happened over the past month. If we start investigating from here, we should soon have a clue."
"Second brother, third brother, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate secretly. You must find the thief in this family. Without the silver, we can't move forward."
"Dad, don't worry. We will find out where the money went as soon as possible. Just take good care of your health and leave everything to us brothers."
"We must act in secrecy. Some things cannot be made public, let alone known to the Emperor."
"we know."
The two brothers of the Huo family decided to start with the housekeeper and secretly investigate his whereabouts and contacts.
After investigating for more than half a month, there was no clue at all. Even after arresting the housekeeper and torturing him, nothing could be learned.
After investigating every servant in the mansion, no problems were found, which put the Huo family father and son in a deadlock.
"Dad, we've checked everyone we should have, but there's still no clue. How on earth could this thief have managed to sneak so many things out of the Huo Mansion without making a sound?"
“I want to know how he did it, too.”
"Bring the butler here. I want to interrogate him personally. He is the most suspicious."
The housekeeper was beaten all over and was carried by the servants to Prime Minister Huo. He knelt down, enduring the pain, and said with tears streaming down his face, "Master, it's unfair..."
"You still dare to cry out for injustice. As the housekeeper, it is your fault that something was lost in the mansion."
The butler's voice trembled as he tried his best to prove his innocence.
"Master, I have been in your house for many years and have been loyal to you. I would never do anything that would betray me! Please investigate this matter."
Prime Minister Huo's eyes were sharp, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "The warehouse was robbed, and you had no idea? If there wasn't a traitor, they wouldn't have been able to empty my warehouse so quietly."
The housekeeper kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Master, I really didn't do this. My family members are all working in the mansion. How could I dare to do such a thing? I am just not taking the lives of my entire family seriously. Please, Master, please look into this matter!"
Prime Minister Huo roared at the top of his lungs, "If it wasn't you, how could the things in my warehouse disappear out of thin air?
"Master, I really don't know. Even if you hand me over to the Jingzhao government, I have a clear conscience."
"Third brother, take his whole family in for strict interrogation. I want to see how stubborn he is."
"Yes."
"Master, this is unfair!"
No matter how he cried out for justice, it was useless. Prime Minister Huo was determined to find the gold, silver and treasures in his warehouse, but unfortunately he found the wrong person.
