Chapter 56 The Marshal’s Mansion was stolen

The second-generation grandfather was flattered to be invited, but at the same time he was uneasy.

Everyone in the capital knew that General Fu was seriously injured and could not drink, but he invited the second generation ancestors to the Zuihong Mansion to listen to music and drink.

This is to give face.

But the face given made the second-generation ancestors panic.

This general and his father are people even the emperor is afraid of...

Being close to General Fu, will they be implicated once the Marshal's Mansion capsizes? !

Fu Chenan was leaning on a soft pillow, drinking sweet water, enjoying singing and dancing, and watching the second-generation ancestors drinking and entertaining the little girl. He looked relaxed and relaxed.

The girl from Zuihong Loutou brand Qianhong who was leaning next to her had her eyes flowing, full of admiration and adoration.

Miss Qianhong was good-looking, with icy muscles and jade bones. She was good at singing songs, but at the moment she was just pouring sweet water to Fu Chenan one by one.

Fu Chenan enjoyed it on the surface, but in his heart he began to miss the taste of Coke.

The sweet water is too greasy...

An hour passed, and suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, followed by the sound of messy footsteps going upstairs.

The moment the door was pushed open, Fu Chenan smashed the tea cup in his hand like lightning, and shouted: "How shameless! Rushing in without even saying hello?!"

There was a painful cry of "Ouch" at the door, and the steward of the Marshal's Mansion kicked the threshold and fell in.

"Ouch, general, there's been a thief in the house! I've already reported to the police, so please go back quickly!"

"What? What do you mean by being robbed? Did you lose anything?" Fu Chenan stood up with a roar and "hissed" while covering his chest.

The butler said with a sad face: "Your warehouse door is open, and there are still things in it that were rewarded by His Majesty a few days ago!"

"It's all gone!"

The things your Majesty gave you were stolen? !
That is a gift from the emperor!

Fu Chenan was so frightened that his face changed and he ran out.

Several second-generation ancestors have always joined in the fun, how could they be willing to miss such a rare thing? They all immediately followed him.

When Fu Chen'an returned to the Marshal's Mansion with his bodyguards and a group of second-generation ancestors, people were coming and going in the Marshal's Mansion, and all kinds of arresters and guards were searching the mansion.

Fu Chenan's expression turned cold for a moment, then changed to a panicked look, and he ran to his yard.

The room used as a warehouse in the yard has been opened and is empty.

Not only the jade Ruyi and Lin Zhijin that His Majesty the Emperor had gifted were missing, but also the other cloth and medicinal materials that were given as gifts.

Has it been raided? !

Zhao Zongquan, the commander of the Jingsi Yamen Defense Force in charge, stood in front of Fu Chenan with a dark face and clasped his fists to report.

"General Fu, after our inspection, the warehouse has been looted. The thief should have entered through the big tree in the northeast corner of the Marshal's Mansion..."

"Please also ask the general to make a list and explain clearly what is missing. I will follow the map to trace the stolen goods."

"Okay." Fu Chenan asked someone to write a list without saying a word.

In fact, there is no need to write a list at all: whatever His Majesty the Emperor rewards, whatever is thrown away from the treasury.

Looking at the list, Commander Zhao Zongquan's face became even darker: "General, there is nothing in your warehouse except the items given by the emperor?"

Fu Chenan had a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I made Commander Zhao laugh. My father and I were originally pig butchers, and we were very poor."

"After the reward from the Marshal's Mansion, my salary has just been sent to Zuihong Mansion. I usually eat vegetables and chickens but also grow them in the back garden."

"Except for the gifts given by the emperor, what else is worth putting in the warehouse?" "I can't put my father's pig-killing outfit into the warehouse?"

Zhao Zongquan: "..."

A group of second-generation ancestors followed: "..."

General Fu is really miserable.

Who would have thought that tonight's dinner of fine wine would actually cost General Fu this month's salary? !
"I'll say goodbye!" Zhao Zongquan saluted with clasped fists, and left the Marshal's Mansion with a group of government guards.

After everyone had left, Fu Chen'an ordered the housekeeper: "You ask those sixteen maids to stay in the house and are not allowed to go anywhere. Just say that you don't know if the thief is still hiding somewhere in the house."

"Here!"

Fu Chenan looked at his personal guard captain again: "Take some people and search the whole house. Don't miss any corner..."

"Here!"

After finishing all this work, the moon was already in the sky.

After sending away the second-generation ancestors who were watching the fun, Fu Chenan stood in the yard in front of the study and looked up at the sky: the bright moon is shining on this dirty world...

Early the next morning, Fu Chen'an, who didn't have to go to court, brought his sixteen beautiful maids and entered the palace!
In the Jinluan Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was very curious: "Fu Qing's family, I heard that your house was robbed yesterday? Are you here to ask me to solve the case for you?"

Fu Chenan kowtowed firmly, with a look of embarrassment and grievance on his face: "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."

"The general's home was stolen from him and he is now penniless. The beauty your majesty gave to the general cannot be afforded anymore..."

"I didn't dare to touch the things your Majesty gave me a while ago, but who knew that they were actually stolen by that little thief..."

"Why don't you ask Your Majesty to give me some more money to support my family?"

As soon as Fu Chen'an said this, the civil and military officials in the court said: "..."

You are the first to ask His Majesty the Emperor for money to support your family!
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Fu Chenan intently, speechless for a while: "Are you so poor?"

After searching the Marshal's Mansion, the commander of the defense forces replied that out of ten rooms in the Marshal's Mansion, nine were empty, and there were only a few courtyards with proper furniture.

Most of the courtyards are empty and closed, with nothing inside.

He couldn't believe it when he heard this: Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chen'an were also people with salaries. They only had several thousand taels of silver a year. How could they be so poor?
But who knew that Fu Chenan would dare to go directly to court to cry for poverty? !

Fu Chenan replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the general is very good at eating, and he is known as Fu Dadu. I have eaten up all the money I have in my salary."

Fu Chenan was good-looking and tall, but he was kneeling on the ground with a wronged and innocent look on his face, which made everyone stunned.

The contrast was so great that all the emperors and ministers could not adapt to it.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Fu Chenan's appearance and felt inexplicably happy: he was given those things just so that he wouldn't be able to use them.

Who would have thought that he could be so poor that the warehouse was so empty that even rats would run away when it came.

Since he can bear this shame, he can't refuse openly...

His Majesty the Emperor smiled kindly: "Then I will reward Fu Qing's family with three hundred taels of silver!"

Fu Chenan kowtowed with gratitude, but his face still looked like he was still unsatisfied.

His Majesty the Emperor's face darkened slightly: "What? Do the Fu Qing family dislike me for being too young?"

Fu Chenan hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't think your Majesty gives you too little, but I think you eat too much."

"I'm afraid that the autumn breeze will come every month in the future, which is really not good..."

"Anyway, the general has free time in the capital. Can your majesty allow the general to do some business to support his family?"
