Shen Ji frowned, a dark look flashed in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you send someone over to take a look?"
Wen Mo nodded repeatedly and said bitterly, "The people sent out were knocked unconscious by someone, and they are still awake."
Shen Ji closed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "How much is missing?"
Wen Mo shrank his neck and whispered, "Ten...six or seven out of ten."
Shen Ji's eyelids were twitching wildly, he could barely control his emotions, and he looked coldly at Lian Yan not far away.
Lian Yan lowered his eyes and met his gaze. Seeing that his expression was different, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master Shen, what happened?"
Shen Ji walked towards him slowly, but his eyes fell on King Runan, and he said solemnly, "The gold mine that was dug out has disappeared."
"What?"
"What!"
King Runan and Lian Yan spoke at the same time, looking at Shen Ji.
King Runan was restrained and knelt on the ground with one knee, his face was shocked and his eyes were about to burst, "What did you say...what happened to those gold mines!"
Seeing that the look on his face didn't look fake, Shen Ji frowned even more tightly and whispered, "I have to ask the prince, why did the originally good gold mine disappear?"
"Missing..." King Runan's legs felt a little weak and his heart sank. He subconsciously suspected Shen Ji and asked in a loud voice, "Did you do something behind my back?"
Shen Ji found it funny and said lightly, "If I did it, how could I ask him in public?"
King Runan looked in a daze, his mind was in a mess, and he murmured, "If it wasn't you... who else could it be if it wasn't you..."
Shen Ji stood alone, silently observing his expression.
King Runan was shocked and angry, his face full of unwillingness, hating the unfairness of the world.
He had put everything on this mountain, and now he was caught and destroyed.
He was still counting on the gold mine to come back to life, but why...why did it disappear?
Lian Yan curled his lips and looked impatient, "Besides you, who else knows where the gold mine is hidden?"
King Runan was stunned. A name suddenly flashed in his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cen Zhenjiang... it must be him. Go and catch him!"
Although Shen Ji felt something was wrong, he couldn't find anyone more suspicious, so he had to endure the strange feeling in his heart.
Lian Yan sneered and said in a mocking tone, "You don't have to be impatient. None of the ones who should be caught can escape."
King Runan's face suddenly changed, and his eyes widened in anger, "I just bought a mountain, what crime am I guilty of? Why should you arrest me!"
Lian Yan was shocked by the thickness of his skin and sarcastically said, "Don't talk about witnesses and physical evidence. You were caught red-handed. What else do you have to argue with?"
King Runan laughed angrily and defended himself forcefully, "These things all come from the mountain. The mountain is mine. I just took what I should take. Why did I get you to take the blame?"
"you!"
"Your Majesty is very eloquent." Shen Ji lowered his head and chuckled, casually opened a box, looked at the weapons piled inside, and said quietly, "But how should we explain these things?"
"This is made of copper mined from the mountains. I thought it would be forged and sent to the palace." King Runan pretended to be calm and excused himself.
"When I first came here, I clearly heard the prince saying that he wanted to send this batch of goods to Fuyuan General's Mansion." Shen Ji closed the box and said calmly, "I don't know if there is something wrong with the prince's mouth or my ears. Something went wrong."
King Runan sneered and said in a deep voice, "Of course you heard wrong."
"If you don't have any evil intentions, why did you hide the gold mine?" Lian Yan didn't bother to argue with him, and raised his voice, "If you have time to argue with us, why not save your energy and go to the emperor to express your grievances."
"You!" King Runan's hands were tied and he couldn't move, "I am a relative of the emperor and his uncle after all. If I want to leave, I will do it in an honest way. How can I allow you to treat me like this!"
"You still want to use the word "imperial relatives" to show off?" Lian Yan felt funny and gave him a look. "Whether he is a relative of the emperor or a sinister rebel, the emperor will judge for himself."
"take away!"

"Madam!" Bai Ji trotted all the way and rushed into Chengyuan, "King Runan was arrested, and General Fuyuan's Mansion was also surrounded!"
Fang Xu held the scissors and looked at the wintersweet in the bottle. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand to cut off the excess buds with a calm expression.
Bai Ji ran up to her and stopped. Seeing that Madam was so calm, he asked in a low voice, "Madam, aren't you surprised?"
"If I had known the outcome, there would be nothing to be surprised about." Fang Xu said softly with a smile on his lips, "I care about other things more than the two of them."
Bai Ji understood in his heart, so he came closer and tried his best to lower his voice, "I have secretly moved the things that the madam wants to other places without being discovered by anyone. Even if they are checked, they will not be found on us."
"Very good, I'll go and collect the reward later." Fang Xu slowly put down the scissors, the smile on his lips deepened, and he whispered, "Tell them to be careful about what they say and do in the house in the future, there are countless eyes watching. "
Bai Ji was stunned and subconsciously looked around, "Madam... but the people from Chunjiang Travel are here?"
Fang Xu nodded and said softly, "Zuo Yan sent me the news early in the morning. Except for the top-notch ones, all the others from Chunjiang Travel have arrived."
"Are they all here?" Bai Ji was surprised, looked around and murmured, "Why can't I see them?"
"If they can be seen by you, they don't have to hang around here." Fang Xu raised his chin towards one place and chuckled, "Look, there are five people standing on that wall alone."
Bai Ji was shocked and whispered, "Now our Marquis' Mansion is really airtight. Not even a mosquito can fly in."
Fang Xu curled his lips, looked at the cut branches on the table, pinched the buds on them with his fingertips, and crushed them with a slight force, "It's really interesting to use the first hand to destroy the second."
Bai Ji looked at the smile on Madam's lips and swallowed subconsciously, feeling very scared.
Madam smiles, life or death is uncertain.
Fang Xu took out his handkerchief and wiped the flower juice off his fingertips. He opened his red lips and asked in a low voice, "Have you chosen someone to search the Runan Prince's Mansion?"
Su Zi stood aside, nodded when he heard the words, and whispered, "I have chosen. Today I heard Chang Fan read aloud and said that he chose our heir apparent."
Fang Xu nodded slowly, with a calm look on his face, "Send my message to him and ask him to search more carefully, so as not to miss any dark rooms, secret passages, etc."
Bai Ji nodded and agreed in a low voice, "I will go to Jingyuan right now."
Bai Ji left quickly, for fear of delaying the important event.
Fang Xu raised his eyes, glanced around, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The dusk is getting darker, the chill is coming, and the raindrops are hitting the ground, adding a bit of depression.
Shen Ji held the umbrella with one hand, and the light rain fell, causing ripples around his feet.
There was no light in the alley, so Wen Mo followed Shen Ji with a lamp.
As soon as I got closer, I saw that the door of Shen's house not far away was half open and the lights were on. (End of chapter)
