Chapter 208: The Marquis' Mansion Was Robberized and All the Emperor and His Ministers Knew
When Emperor Hong De heard Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan say "no", his face suddenly darkened.
“Even if Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian is unconscious, is there no one awake in his mansion?
His second wife, who was his mistress, is also in a coma?
I wonder if I should send someone to ask for leave from the court or the cabinet?
Or do all the people in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion despise me and do not take my imperial laws seriously? "
As soon as Emperor Hong De said this, the problem became serious!
Yesterday, Marquis Qinxing did not arrive, nor did he send anyone to ask for leave. It could be said that it was because he had a sudden emergency and was in a coma, and the people in the mansion were so anxious that they neglected to notice it.
But what about today?
I didn't go to court yesterday and didn't ask for leave. I won't go to court today and still haven't asked for leave.
What does Qinxing Marquis Mansion mean?
Emperor Hongde turned his head and looked at the eunuch Yu Feng beside him. "After the court is dismissed, you go to the Marquis Qinxing's mansion in person and pay a visit to the extremely noble Marquis Qinxing on my behalf to see how he is doing."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yu Feng bowed and replied.
The ministers below listened to Emperor Hongde's words and were all worried for Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing.
It’s over! Marquis Qinxing, ah Marquis Qinxing, this time you have completely angered the emperor!
The court began to discuss state affairs at the morning court.
About an hour passed.
At this time, a young eunuch was seen outside the hall walking in quietly along the side of the hall.
He came to the throne and signaled the chief eunuch Yu Feng with his eyes.
The chief eunuch Yu Feng saw this, tiptoed back a few steps, then walked down from the throne and approached the young eunuch.
The young eunuch told the story that Zhongshun, the personal servant of Marquis Qinxing Leng Xian, had gone to the palace to ask for leave on behalf of Marquis Qinxing, and informed him that Marquis Qinxing's mansion had been robbed last night and everything in the mansion had been stolen.
The chief eunuch Yu Feng was also stunned when he heard this, then he nodded, signaled the young eunuch to leave, and turned around and stood next to Emperor Hongde again.
At this time, the court affairs had almost been discussed.
Emperor Hong De turned and looked at the chief eunuch Yu Feng with a questioning look in his eyes.
The chief eunuch Yu Feng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Dongzi just came to report that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion sent someone to ask for leave for Marquis Qinxing.
It is said...it is said that the mansion of Marquis Qinxing was robbed last night and everything in the mansion was stolen!
It is... it is the real emptiness! The emptiness of nothingness!"
"What?" Emperor Hong De was also surprised.
The chief eunuch Yu Feng reported back to Emperor Hongde, and all the civil and military officials under the throne also heard it.
Everyone was surprised that the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion had been robbed!
There are several ministers' mansions in the palace, which are on the same street as the Marquis Qinxing's mansion.
After hearing this, they were puzzled. The mansion of Marquis Qinxing was robbed, which should have caused quite a stir. How come they didn't notice any movement at all?
In addition, they were on the same street as the Qinxing Marquis Mansion and were close neighbors.
Should they also be more careful?
After returning home, I must double the number of night patrols...
No, twice, you have to be doubly careful!
When Emperor Hongde heard that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion had been robbed, he wanted to laugh.
You are so good, Leng Xian, you are so good, Yin Shi, don’t you love money like your life?
Didn't he marry poor Fu Baozhen just to defraud people of their money and property?
Now that all the property has been stolen, let’s see how you can continue to occupy and enjoy it!
But then I thought... No, the things that were stolen and lost were all Fu Baozhen's dowry.
In other words, those things should belong to Leng Rongyue!
How can we just throw it away like that?
If those properties really belonged to the Marquis of Qinxing’s mansion, he would not care;
But those things all belong to Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue is his future daughter-in-law.
How could he, as the emperor's father-in-law, turn a blind eye and sit idly by when his daughter-in-law's belongings were lost?
That is absolutely not possible!
Emperor Hongde turned around and ordered the chief eunuch Yu Feng, "You go to Shuntian Prefecture in person to inform Zheng Tong and tell him that it was my order that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion was robbed and I ordered him to track down the stolen property as soon as possible.
In addition, tell him that the stolen properties in Marquis Qinxing's mansion were all the dowry of Marquis Qinxing's late wife, Fu Baozhen.
The late lady’s dowry, in addition to the property in the mansion, should have also included shops and farms.
Let him investigate quickly and protect it, so that the future Princess Yu’s dowry will not be damaged again!"
Well, this time, Emperor Hongde and his beloved son Xiao Jingyu thought the same thing again!
Real father and son are real father and son, their hearts are connected!
The chief eunuch Yu Feng listened to Emperor Hongde's instructions, bowed his head, flicked his whisk, quickly left the hall, and went to do things according to the order.
In the Golden Palace, Duke Anguo Fu Peng, the eldest master Fu Yinglan and the second master Fu Yingze frowned slightly, sighed softly, and showed moderate expressions of concern on their faces.
As for themselves, the father and his two sons had already started laughing!
Emperor Hongde, who was sitting on the throne, sighed, "Alas! My future daughter-in-law has such an unfortunate fate!
He lost his mother at a young age, had a bad father, and an unvirtuous stepmother, so he had a difficult growing up!
Back then, Rongyue’s mother brought a rich dowry with her and moved into the empty Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion!
What a pity...Alas!
The only daughter passed away when she was still young!
For so many years, the huge dowry was controlled and enjoyed by Marquis Qinxing and his second wife.
Last night, everything was suddenly stolen... I, your daughter-in-law, have such a hard life!"
