After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 353 I can’t tell you the pain

Lord Yuhu frowned with a dignified expression, "When did you discover the theft?"

"Just this morning, the master and his mistress woke up and discovered one by one that their house had been robbed." Thinking back to the chaotic scene in the mansion early in the morning, Manager Gong could not help but cover his chest and was unable to speak.

The house looked like it had been swept away by a whirlwind, with everything that could be pulled away having been pulled away. The garden was particularly horrible, with patches of grass here and there like scars on a leper's head, completely bare!

"Since it was discovered early in the morning, why didn't you quickly compile a list of the stolen items?" Yu Linlang frowned and tightened her lips, looking as if she was handling the matter impartially and her expression seemed extremely serious.

What are you organizing? The real account books of the mansion must not be shown to others. The ladies would have already cried bitterly.

All the jewelry boxes and pearls hidden in the locked cabinet were stolen by the thieves.

What is even more hateful and shocking is that the thief even took away items hidden in secret compartments such as corners and bedside tables.

The master and his mistress were so shocked that they lost two of their three souls and have not fully recovered yet.

Now, all that can be sorted out are those things that are visible and presentable, which have to be roughly equal to the actual income from the family shops and farms and the annual salary of the masters.

If the income exceeds the actual income by much, people will notice at a glance that the family is living an extravagant and luxurious life, which will cause trouble for the family.
It's really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs and being unable to express his pain. Hundreds and thousands of rare treasures have been lost, but he just can't say it out loud.

Manager Gong looked at Yu Linlang with a sad face and tearful eyes, "Master Yuhu, you only need to bring people to our mansion to know how terrible the actual situation is."

Yu Linlang pondered for a moment, then nodded with a wooden face, "Okay, Master Chen and Mr. Wu, come with me to the Gong Mansion to see what's going on."

"Yes, my lord."

The group then boarded the government's exclusive carriage, and, accompanied by a hundred or so yamen runners, headed towards the residence of the Minister of Justice.

When passing by the vegetable market, many aunts and sisters came forward with vegetables picked out and insisted on giving them to Lady Yuhu. Yu Linlang poked her head out, and she had no time to refuse them. All kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits were thrown into her car for free.

When they arrived at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, everyone looked silently at Lord Yuhu who was surrounded by fruits and vegetables, and tried hard to suppress the smiles on their lips.

Yu Linlang coughed lightly, took off two pieces of vegetable leaves from her shoulders, straightened her collar, bent down and got out of the car, and said casually, "Send these vegetables back to the government kitchen later. If you can't eat them today, give some to the brothers to take home to avoid waste."

Wu Yong suppressed his laughter and coughed, "Yes, sir."

The steward of the Gong Mansion opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking at the cart full of vegetables and then at Yulinlang and Chen Buyu, "You adults are really loved by the people of Beijing."

Yu Linlang patted her sleeves and raised her chin, "That's right. Being an official is interesting only if you can do what I do. Otherwise, if you become a corrupt official and get scolded by others every day, you might as well go home and farm as soon as possible."

Manager Gong thought that Lady Yuhu would be modest, but he didn't expect her to be so narcissistic... There was really no way to continue the conversation that day, so he could only shut up and get out of the car.

At this time, many people gathered in front of the mansion to watch the fun, but they were all stopped outside by the servants.

The Gong Mansion is located on Yuanhe Street, just across an arch bridge from Yu Linlang's courtyard in Changyue Lane.

But the Shangshu Mansion is located on the main street after all, with its own gate and courtyard, and it is a large house with five entrances, which is very different from the small courtyard tucked into Changyue Lane. "Please come this way, sir." Manager Gong, sweating profusely, invited everyone to come in.

As you walk in through the gate, you can immediately see the bumpy dirt road in the middle. It looks as if something laid flat on top of it has been dug up, and the good road has become as if it has been gnawed by a dog, with patches here and there.

Everyone looked at each other.

Manager Gong sighed, "Originally this place was paved with... pure white tiles, not like this."

He led everyone into the mansion, and Chen Buyu, Wu Yong and others were all surprised.

When passing by the garden, Yu Linlang was somewhat shocked by her own destructive power.

It was dark at the time and she fiddled with it for a while. Now she looked again and saw that the grass and trees in the garden were empty and the ground was bare, and a lot of the soil had been dragged away...

"This?" Chen Buyu looked around suspiciously, "Is this all done by the thieves overnight?"

Is this something that ordinary people can do? ? Look at this empty garden, this patch of bare land, how many people would it take to come overnight to take away everything in the mansion of the Minister of Justice?
Manager Gong burst into tears and asked them to go to the front yard and the middle yard to take a look. He cried, "You all have seen it, this is not the worst place. The worst place to be robbed is in our house, the backyards of the old ladies and young ladies. Almost every house has been robbed!"

"My Lord, I heard that the thieves from Kong Kong Sect are now in the capital. This must be their doing."

"I hope you can bring the yamen runners with you to help recover the assets in the mansion as soon as possible. I will be very grateful."

Yu Linlang had a stern face, waved her hands and said in a businesslike tone, "Hey, you can't say that. There is no evidence at this moment, so we can't just frame others. Let Wu Bantou and his men investigate the actual situation first!"

"If it is really Kong Kong Men who came at night, then they must have a route to retreat and sell the stolen goods."

"Yes, I will go check it out right now." Wu Yong was shocked when he saw the almost emptied Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. After receiving the order, he immediately led hundreds of yamen runners to do the job.

How many people would it take to move things to Gong's house? Could it be that everyone in Gong's house was fast asleep, and the servants and guards had no reaction?
"Sir, that thief had extremely evil intentions. Not only did he steal all the gold, silver, jewelry, brocade, new clothes, and private money of the master and mistress, he even stole all the vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs that were going to be used for the banquet in the kitchen!"

The steward stamped his feet repeatedly, "This is absolutely heartless! This is absolutely heartless! Now there is not even a single cash in the mansion, and the banknotes of the master and mistress have been taken away. There is really no money to even buy groceries."

Chen Buyu twitched his lips. Even from a distance he could feel the housekeeper's grief and anger.

No one knew which deity or Buddha the Minister Gong's mansion had offended, which resulted in the attraction of such a powerful thief, who stole everything from the entire mansion.

Over there, Yu Linlang looked at the steward with sympathy and consoled him, "It's okay. The monthly salary will be paid in two days. How about asking your master to borrow some money from his friends to buy groceries first?"

Manager Gong was speechless.

Yulinlang, Chen Buyu and others accompanied the steward to walk around the Gong Mansion, sighing a lot, and finally said seriously, "It would be better to have a list to check, so that the government can do things more easily."

"Otherwise, it's all based on imagination. Even if we catch the thief, there will be no evidence to prove it. Manager Gong, don't you think so?"

Manager Gong nodded with a bitter face.
