Chapter 1911 I must be dreaming
Chapter 1911 I must be dreaming
Ding Hengshou was happily drinking. It was getting late, and he was a little drunk, so he asked the two women beside him to help him into the house to rest.
There was no light in the room, so a woman went to light one.
I touched it, and it was empty.
"Huh? The table candlestick should be here."
I touched it and felt something was wrong, so I stretched my legs and kicked it.
One kick, one miss.
The woman felt something was wrong.
After lighting the tinder, the flame gradually grew brighter and filled the whole room.
There was nothing else in the room except this little light.
The woman opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she saw. She closed her eyes, opened them again, and rubbed them.
still none.
At the same time, Ding Hengshou also saw it.
He was slightly tipsy, not drunk to death, and he sobered up immediately.
He looked around: "Where are my things?"
"Is this my room?"
The women didn't dare to answer.
There were sounds of laughter and running water outside. This must be his yard.
But why are all the things in the house gone?
Ding Hengshou's voice was trembling, and it was hard to tell whether it was out of anger or fear.
"Go, call someone and light the lantern."
"Yes."
Soon, more than twenty guards came to the mansion, and the lights inside and outside the house were lit up, as if it were daytime.
Now I can see it all clearly.
Three rooms, spacious, luxurious, comfortable... Everything that was there before disappeared, leaving only...
Nothing is left.
Ding Hengshou was unable to come back to his senses. He walked around the room, trying to touch anything, but there was nothing to touch.
His legs felt a little weak, his head was buzzing, and he didn't know where or how to vent his anger.
What's happening here?
Is there a thief?
But looking around Rongzhou, which bold thief would dare to come here to steal things?
Even if someone is desperately poor and values money over life, stealing one or two items, a small ornament, or a few pieces of jewelry and beads is possible, but...
Which thief is so stealsome?
The only things left in the house were the windows and the door!
The others didn't dare to speak either, as they were all shocked by the scene before them.
I didn't know what to say, and I didn't dare make a sound.
Ding Hengshou's body swayed, and he grabbed the place where the Duobaoge was originally, but he missed it and fell to the ground.
"Go find them! Search the entire mansion! Dig three feet underground!"
"Find the thief who stole it, and I'll tear him into pieces!"
Everyone immediately turned around and left, going out to look for him.
As for where to look and what kind of person to look for, no one dared to ask.
Anyway, just look around.
Ding Hengshou sat alone for a while, then got up and walked to the door, but reluctantly looked back.
I wish I was drunk, dizzy, or dreaming.
But, still no.
He walked out with his legs swinging, not knowing where to go, perhaps to look for a thief or to rest in another yard.
Before I could catch my breath, someone else came running.
"Sir Governor, this is bad."
Ding Hengshou didn't remember how he got to the warehouse. He only remembered that when he opened the door of the warehouse, he heard a hollow sound that was different from the usual one, and his mind went blank.
The huge warehouse is in full view.
Ding Hengshou fell over without even making a sound.
……
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to their residence. Huo Changhe was a little anxious and asked Yan Ruyu to get her some tranquilizers.
After eating, washing up, he lay down and fell asleep holding Yan Ruyu's hand.
Yan Ruyu was waiting for him in the space.
Huo Changhe saw the things that had just been collected and had not yet had time to sort them out. It was a spectacular sight.
He shuttled back and forth, praising from time to time and cursing with gritted teeth.
Yan Ruyu looked at the jewelry, calligraphy and paintings and found that they had no clue value, so she just collected them.
There were boxes of gold and silver, and Huo Changhe had to take a closer look to see if there was any difference between them and the official silver, and if he could find any clues.
In addition, she also has official silver in her space. She can compare the two pieces and tell the difference.
Then look for any account records or something.
Also, Huo Changhe needs to take a closer look at the food.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."
Huo Changhe came back to his senses: "Yu'er, what are you talking about?"
He walked to the pile of grain, took a closer look, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"These look like military rations to me."
"Military rations, shouldn't there be something marked on them?" Yan Ruyu was also surprised.
She had collected military rations before, but later used them for the military and the people.
There are still dozens of bags left in the space. The words "military rations" are printed on the cloth bags, and the burlap bags are also different from this one.
Huo Changhe took a handful of rice and said, "The bag doesn't matter. You can change it. You don't have to print it."
"If you had intended to swallow up the grain from the beginning, you wouldn't have left any evidence behind."
Yan Ruyu nodded, that was true.
"Military rations, where do the military rations come from?"
The two were startled, and then they thought of the same thing at the same time, and said in unison: "City Guard?"
Yan Ruyu suddenly realized: "If Ding Hengshou seizes the food supply of the Guard City, it is equivalent to seizing their lifeline. Then the Guard City Army will most likely listen to him."
"That's right," Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, "Rongzhou is close to the water, and most of the military rations are transported by water."
"Rich places like Jiangnan would also collect grain locally, but given Rongzhou's current situation, there's no grain to collect. There's no other way except for the imperial court to transport it."
The grain transport in Rongzhou was controlled by the Liu family. If Ding Hengshou and his gang...
The result is self-evident.
"This is truly a huge game, and it's a long-term plan. Six months or six months is simply impossible."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Indeed."
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "I was originally in Shanghai, which isn't too far away, but I didn't even notice it."
"What does this have to do with Your Highness?" Yan Ruyu counseled. "This is the fault of the Rongzhou officials. Your Highness does not need to take the blame. Don't say you don't know. Even if you have heard something, you can't just come and investigate."
Huo Changhe remained silent.
Yan Ruyu patted his arm gently and said, "Your Highness, let's not talk about the past. Even now, with your authority, we can't be too high-profile in Rongzhou."
"Just focus on the present and do your best."
"Okay," Huo Changhe nodded, "Yu'er is absolutely right."
"It's getting late, go get some rest," Yan Ruyu said, "We have to go to see a good show tomorrow."
When he thought of the empty rooms and warehouses, Huo Changhe felt much better.
"it is good."
"I'll just sleep here, okay?"
Huo Changhe looked eagerly.
How could Yan Ruyu refuse? She nodded and agreed, and prepared his military uniform and blanket.
Although the bed is small, Yan Ruyu's is compact and light, yet very sturdy and comfortable to sleep on. It is an improved version.
Huo Changhe slept with her once and liked her very much.
Yan Ruyu also prepared a healthy pillow made of water for him, which made him feel cool and comfortable when lying on it.
Huo Changhe smiled happily and slept comfortably.
He fell asleep, and Yan Ruyu looked for the account book for a while.
It was cleaned so neatly at that time, if there were any account books or something, they should be here.
If not, then there are other hiding places.
