I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 196: Qinxing Marquis Mansion is Completely Empty

When people describe a poor family, they always use the phrase "bare walls".

Now, Leng Xian felt that his mansion was truly in a state of destitution, with only four walls left. Apart from that, there was not even a thread or a piece of paper left.

This thief is so ruthless and cruel!

Leng Xian looked at the servants around him, and called Qiu Gui, who was beside Yin, over with a gesture of his hand.

This girl is the most reliable one among the servants in front of him.

Qiu Gui was summoned by the Marquis, and hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to Leng Xian, "What do you want, Marquis?"

Leng Xian looked at her, "You, go to the Anguo Mansion immediately and ask the young lady to come back. Ask the young lady to come back immediately and tell her that the mansion was robbed and even her Yuehuaxuan was stolen!

Let her come back immediately!"

Qiu Gui was stunned when he heard Leng Xian's instructions.

The Marquis asked her to invite the eldest lady back?

What's the point of asking the eldest lady to come back?

But if you think about it again, it’s true.

Almost all the things lost in this house belonged to my late wife;

Since they belonged to the late madam, now they belong to this eldest daughter.

All the young lady’s things are lost, and she is the victim. If she reports to the police, and the officials come to investigate, she must be present.

Besides, as long as the eldest lady is safe and sound... uh... nothing like that happens... the eldest lady can still bear the title of the future Princess Yu.

With this reputation, the officials in charge of the investigation dare not fail to do their best!

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense why the Marquis was so anxious to invite the eldest lady back.

So Qiu Gui nodded in agreement, bowed, turned around and ran out.

Zhongshun, who was standing next to Leng Xian, looked at Leng Xian and asked in a low voice: "Then... Lord, should we go to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities now?"

Leng Xian thought about it and shook his head, "Don't rush to report to the police, wait a little longer."

"Yes!" Zhongshun responded, feeling a little confused.

Isn't it better to report to the police and catch the thief as early as possible and as quickly as possible?

If we delay any longer, won’t the thief run further and further away?

Wouldn't it be more difficult to track down?

Can all the things in this mansion be recovered?

Or... the Marquis no longer wants these treasures that were lost from the mansion?

Leng Xian wanted it, of course he wanted it.

These things are his life, so of course it is difficult for him to give them up.

Leng Xianyi wanted to wait for Liu Da's reply first.

Liu Da was sent out by him to gather information. He wanted to know if his Marquis Qinxing's Mansion was the only place where something bad happened on this street?

Or are there other mansions that have suffered the same fate as the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion?

If there is another incident in the mansion, wouldn't it be more important if they report it to the police together?

Perhaps if the weight is increased, it might even alarm the emperor.

If the emperor is alarmed, more powerful forces can be mobilized, and it is more likely that his property will be recovered for him;

Secondly, he also wanted to find Leng Rongyue first.

Behind Leng Rongyue is the Anguo Mansion.

Even if this incident was not done by the Anguo Mansion, the things lost from the Qinxing Marquis Mansion were all Fu Baozhen's dowry.

Now that Fu Baozhen is gone, Fu Baozhen's dowry belongs to Leng Rongyue.

The Anguo Mansion is for Leng Rongyue, and they will also help catch the thief and take back Fu Baozhen's dowry.

In that case, it wouldn't be just the Qinxing Marquis's family that had to report to the authorities alone.

If only his family, Marquis Qinxing's, reported the theft, he would not care even if the emperor knew about it.

Leng Xian knew that because of Fu Baozhen, both the Emperor and the Empress disliked him.

The Emperor was able to write the imperial edict granting marriage only because Leng Rongyue was the daughter of Fu Baozhen and the granddaughter of Duke Anguo, not because Leng Rongyue was his, Leng Xian's, daughter;

The imperial decree granting the marriage was not meant to bring honor to the Marquis Qinxing's mansion.

Leng Xian was aware of this.

But, just because of him, doesn't mean he can't use it to gain leverage, doesn't mean he can't take this glory into his own hands!

Such a big situation had occurred in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing, and by now, no one in the entire mansion was unaware of it.

The servants, in groups of three or five, looked at the deserted mansion, where nothing was in it, and discussed it in whispers in panic.

At this time, Liu Da, who had just returned from gathering information, headed all the way to Chaoyang Courtyard. On the way, he met Lu Jie'en, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, and Peng Lu, the accountant.

Peng Lu's face turned pale and he was terrified.

In the accounting office, the account books are gone, not even a copper coin is left, and the tables, chairs and cabinets are nowhere to be found. Only an empty accounting office... a house is left.

When several people learned that Leng Xian was in Chaoyang Garden, they all rushed here in a hurry.

"My Lord!" Liu Daxian stepped forward and reported, "I went out for a while and found out everything. Only...only our Marquis' Mansion..."

Leng Xian also knew what to say next, needless to say.

This was the case because only their Marquis Qinxing's mansion was looted, while other mansions were safe and sound.

Before Leng Xian could lament about the unique experience in his mansion, what the accountant Peng Lu said immediately afterwards made Leng Xian collapse again.

"My Lord, the money and account books in the accounting office...

No... not only the silver and the account books, everything... everything is gone, and only an empty room is left in the accounting office!

Even…even if the servants in the mansion need to go out to buy something later, they don’t have any money either!”
