The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 247

[Chapter 247 Disappeared]

During this period, Li Erniu also found other workers to help testify against the governor, and Lin Tian made a prompt decision to let them write the book of all people.

After signing and stamping the seal, he and Lei Dian packed up and took the two workers back to Beijing.

Everything is ready, and the good days of the governor are about to end.

It took the governor two days to finally arrive at the mansion. Thinking of the hard work of the past few days, he couldn’t help but stretch his waist.

But the smile on his mouth became happier.

Thinking of spending some money to bribe a senior official in Beijing, he only needed that official to help say a few good words. Once the emperor was happy, he could be promoted and given a title.

There were countless good days waiting for him in the future!

However, he was too tired these two days, and he couldn’t wait to return to his room.

The housekeeper of the mansion nodded and prepared a bath for the governor.

“Sir, the water temperature is hot, please take a bath quickly.”

The governor took off his coat and prepared to take a bath. Suddenly, he thought of a group of refugees outside Ningjiang City.

His face suddenly turned black, and the housekeeper knelt down immediately and said cautiously: “Sir, is the water too cold? I will ask someone to heat up the water right away!”

“No, I want to ask you, are those beggars from Ningjiang City still outside the city?”

“Beggars?” The housekeeper was puzzled. “Sir, there are always more beggars in Ningjiang City.”

“I am talking about those refugees.”

The governor glared at the housekeeper angrily.

In his opinion, there was no difference between those refugees and beggars living on the streets.

They were just a group of lowly things.

The housekeeper understood, and he guessed that the governor meant that he didn’t want to see the refugees from Ningjiang City.

“Sir, don’t worry, I will take the guards to drive away the refugees from Ningjiang City now, and I won’t let them dirty your eyes.”

The governor smiled with satisfaction and began to relax his whole body and mind.

Everything was going in a good direction.

In the afternoon, the housekeeper took the guards to take a look outside Ningjiang City. There were no groups of refugees here, only a few vendors buying things.

After reporting the matter to the governor, he was very satisfied. No one would bother him anymore. He

could live a good life without worries in the future.

After letting the housekeeper and the servants go out, the governor lay on the bed to rest, and asked the people in the picture not to disturb him again.

He slept until the night. The governor got dressed and prepared to serve dinner, but he found that a treasure lamp was missing from the room for the first time.

The lamp was very expensive and could not be bought in ordinary places.

Who knew it was gone!

The governor didn’t believe it and began to search on a large scale in the room.

After half a day, not only did he not find his beloved treasure lamp, but he also found that the fine white jade in the drawer box was missing!

His face changed drastically and he was angry. Could it be that his room was robbed? He

immediately called all the housekeepers, maids and guards in the mansion and questioned them one by one.

“The golden lamp, white jade and several exquisite treasures in my room are all missing. Tell me, did you steal them?”

The maids in the mansion knelt on the ground in fear. “Sir, please calm down. We have not entered your room in the past two days. It is impossible for us to steal your things! Please investigate the matter thoroughly, and don’t wrongly accuse the good people!”

“Oh, you must not wrongly accuse the good people! You maids eat my food, wear my clothes and use my things. Maybe you are jealous of my wealth.”

Maybe these servants secretly stole his treasures while he was away for the past two days.

“Sir, it’s really unfair! We would never steal your things even if we die!”

“Don’t admit it, right? I will discipline you now. If you dare to steal things, you will never have a good end.” The governor

asked the butler to take out the whip and started to beat and scold the servants.

The whip hit them, and there was a burning pain. How could those maids and servants bear it?

Some maids fainted from the heavy burden.

The governor saw that they still refused to admit it, so he beat and scolded them even more vigorously. Even when someone fainted, he did not stop.

The housekeeper was an elderly man. He knew that the governor usually felt sorry for those treasures, and seeing that these servants were really pitiful, he could not bear it.

“My lord, I think you have beaten them enough! If these servants really stole your treasures, they would have succumbed to your whip long ago. Why do they have to suffer this punishment!”

The governor sneered.

“Housekeeper, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet, but you are begging for these servants. Maybe you stole my things too!”

“My lord, I dare not steal your things! Even if I have a hundred courages, it is not enough!”

The housekeeper was so scared that his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground.

“Hehe, remember what you said at the end, don’t let me catch you!”

The governor beat and scolded him, but he still couldn’t find out the reason.

He thought this matter was too strange.

If it wasn’t these servants who stole the things, then who was it?

Could it be someone…

The governor shuddered in his heart, and at this time a leader of the guards came to see the governor.

He told him that on the night when the governor was away, it seemed that someone sneaked into the mansion secretly. Could the disappearance of the treasure be related to this?

But the governor didn’t dare to think about it anymore. He immediately contacted several guards and came to the back of the rockery, and moved the flower bed next to it with his hands.

The door of the tunnel was easily opened, and he led people in.

The tunnel was in a mess, and he couldn’t find the red treasure chest after searching for a long time. He

was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot. Seeing the guards standing next to him stupidly, he was very angry and yelled at them.

“Why don’t you help me find the red treasure chest quickly? If you delay any longer, you will be

in trouble!” The guards obeyed the order and turned the tunnel upside down, even the area around the rockery.

Still nothing.

The governor sat down on the ground, his soul was gone, and he said incoherently: “It’s over, it’s over, I’m done!”

The guards beside him didn’t understand, they thought the governor was sad because he lost his beloved treasure.

“Sir, the treasure is lost, there will be better treasures in the future, and you can buy it then.”

The governor’s face was pale, and he muttered absent-mindedly, “If it’s not that I lost the treasure, I might be finished too! Woo woo woo!”

He covered his face and cried sadly.

His future was ruined, and everything was gone soon.
