Chapter 9 The silver of the treasury is gone
Time went back to the moment when Jiang Qi left the Shen family, when he heard the news that the guards brought him. He knew that something really happened this time. If it is not handled well, he and His Royal Highness the Prince, that is, the eldest brother Jiang Jiangheng, will suffer this time.
A few days ago, Fengzhou and Qingzhou in the south had been flooded, and just now their father had issued an order. Thinking that the Liangzhou Mansion allocated five million taels of silver for disaster relief, if the silver could not be handed over within three days. It is estimated that the position of his eldest brother's crown prince will be lost.
Although he usually has a lot of trouble with His Royal Highness the Prince, since someone is rushing to point the finger at the royal family at this time. Then he Jiang Qi couldn't sit idly by, when Jiang Qi used his light skills to run all the way to the location of the treasury. The Imperial Guards had surrounded the place tightly, and many of the soldiers guarding the treasury were officers who worked here on weekdays.
It was almost controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it was regarded as an official who opened a large execution table outside and began to torture the officials of the treasury. When Jiang Qi arrived, Jiang Heng, His Royal Highness the Prince, greeted him. knelt directly in front of Jiang Qi: "Third Prince, you must save His Royal Highness the Prince." He now shut himself up in the storeroom, and no one was allowed to enter. ”
"Wang Shan, you come with me!" and then walked directly towards the door, without glancing at the man kneeling on the ground.
Wang Shan is the most central guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he is a slave given by the emperor to grow up with his master from childhood to adulthood.
Wang Shan heard the words of the third prince, and only followed the most powerful person in this empire who could compete with his master for the throne of the future emperor. But he knew that this person was destined to have no chance of the emperor's throne. Because he already has the Divine Pavilion, the most mysterious organization in the empire, in his hands.
The existence of the Divine Pavilion has always been a secret of the imperial family, and this organization is the cornerstone of the protection of the most central center of the Qingyuan Empire. The master of each generation of the Divine Pavilion can only be the most outstanding prince of the imperial family, and once he accepts the Divine Pavilion, he is destined to have no fate with the emperor's throne.
When I came to the door of the storeroom, the door was closed, and there was only the sound of a man crying. This voice is all too familiar, it is the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although Jiang Qi doesn't like this big brother, he is a person who can tolerate anyone in the face of national justice.
Jiang Qi gently patted the door of the warehouse, and then said, "Big brother, I'm the third brother to open the door!
Hearing Jiang Qi's voice, the crying voice in the warehouse was finally heard. After a while, the door was pushed open, and only one person could enter, Jiang Qi looked through the crack in the door. saw the back of the majestic man who has been majestic since he was a child, and now it looks so gloomy.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a son-in-law, and there is only one real son-in-law in the Qingyuan Empire.
"Third brother, take a look! It's all empty, the murderer didn't leave any clues, and the gold and silver here seem to have disappeared out of thin air. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has accepted his fate, but he is really a little unwilling. I've worked hard for so many years, and I've always wanted to perform well. But the first time I was in charge of such a big thing, someone sang a play for you.
Jiang Qi glanced at the warehouse, which was several hundred meters in size, and the shelves were empty. Each of the large chests of gold and silver was empty, and he stepped forward to check it out for himself. The lock that locked the box was opened on its own, and his brow tightened.
"What the hell!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted softly: "If you can push this matter onto the ghosts, it is estimated that your eldest brother will be cut down directly by his father." ”
Only the fixed route on the floor of the storeroom has footprints, and the rest of the place is clean. There are almost no clues. This time, I guess their brothers will be planted in this matter.
But Jiang Qi was not discouraged, and walked around the warehouse again, but still didn't find anything. Then he came to the front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and just shook his head gently: "Big brother, it seems that we have really met an unprecedented master!"
Jiang Qi sniffed and seemed to smell a faint aroma. This aroma makes people feel like they are in the middle of nature.
"Big brother, do you smell the aroma?"
But without waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's answer, Jiang Qi's figure had already moved. A white shadow flickered in front of the prince's eyes, and his body involuntarily flew out and fell heavily to the ground. His younger brother was standing in the position he was standing in just now, when he heard Jiang Qi say angrily: "Who is it?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that his third brother's right hand was only holding and trembling, and when the guards outside the door rushed in, the strange aroma had dissipated and could not be traced.
Someone can throw something under their noses and run away without showing up. Maybe only the few worldly masters who are rumored on the rivers and lakes can do it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already gotten up from the ground, and then waved his hand: "You guys get down!"
After the guard received the order, he came to the third brother: "The secret weapon released by someone just now is really for me. ”
Jiang Heng knew that his martial arts were not the opponent of this third brother, if it weren't for the third brother's move just now, he would definitely have no chance of survival.
"What kind of West do you have?" asked the prince.
At this time, Jiang Qi thought of holding a soft thing in his hand, and then opened his curled hand. The prince also looked at the third brother's hand, and the two brothers gasped. It turned out to be a small ball of rice paper, and Jiang Qi's heart was already trembling. Could it really be that those old immortal guys came to the capital?
Jiang Qi shook his head vigorously, one of those old immortal guys also included his own mentor. scolded his master into it, he felt that he had deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.
Opening the paper ball, one of the two brothers was inexplicable. One of the eyes did pop out, and what was written on it was: Shen Qianfeng can help you find the lost gold and silver.
"Who is Shen Qianfeng?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought for a while, and suddenly glared at his younger brother: "I remember, isn't the name of your concubine that your father gave you to marry two days ago, isn't it called Shen Qianfeng?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had heard this name before, and when he talked about his second sister Shen Qianxue, he simply despised this little girl to the gutter. But such a strange thing happened today, and the person who just broke in was so strong. It's already in the realm of the elusive, if only there really be someone in this world who can do this.
At the same time, the two of them thought of a possibility, that is, the hidden family from ancient times. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought of this and suddenly spoke: "Third brother, do you think the Shen family may be related to the Hidden Family?"
"Hidden Family!" Jiang Qi knew that this matter was very likely, but she would not tell His Royal Highness the truth about this matter. Because he had already determined this matter, he suspected that Shen Qianfeng was related to the Hidden Family and not the Shen Family.
"Big brother, the people from the Divine Pavilion have checked. There is no evidence to prove what you say. Now we don't have any clues, since the mysterious person who attacked us just now said that Shen Qianfeng can solve this matter. Jiang Qi was very reluctant to let his hope of saving his mother's relatives, as well as the hope of the future of the entire empire, be exposed too early.
But someone dares to contradict himself, and if he Jiang Qi finds out, he must make this person pay the price. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth in the middle: "I'll go to the Shen family now and pick up the second miss of the Shen family." ”
When Jiang Qi left the treasury, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also left. As soon as he walked out of the door of the warehouse, a black-clothed guard appeared behind Jiang Heng.
"Let's check whether there has been a large amount of gold and silver in the black market around the capital during this time. You can't put your hope on a little girl who hasn't reached the end of her life, and this time there must be no accident. Otherwise, my younger brothers are going to start stirring up again. ”
The master ordered another person to say yes, and directly said again: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of ......?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "If we want to win in the future battle for the heir, we can only rely on this third brother." Legend has it that there are immortals from the hidden family in the Divine Pavilion. ”
Jiang Qi broke in directly from the General's Mansion because the Great General Shen Xiongfei was discussing things with an important guest. So there was a bloody case in front of the compound of the General's Mansion, and the dozen or so guards who prevented Jiang Qi from entering were directly beheaded by the fierce and famous Third Prince.
When he heard the shouting of four people outside, the guest in the secret room finally came to his senses. Facing Shen Xiongfei, who had a gloomy face, he arched his hand: "Don't worry, general, I will speed up the investigation when I am about the eldest lady." ”
That's right, this person is Yao Qianshan, the leader of the No. 1 intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes. Since, his second daughter was rescued from the lake, everything has changed and the royal family attaches great importance to this daughter. Back then, I designed my own eldest lady, and I really did it in a hurry to spoil my concubine and kill my wife.
Even if it's a bit of a rush, there is no regret medicine to take. Why did you think about it, or the second lady Guo Lanyue blew herself on the pillow last night, saying that the complete turnover of the second daughter could not be avoided. The only one who can restrain this daughter is her mother's family, if only the mystery of Situ Lan's identity can be found out.
Then in the future, you can control Shen Qianfeng's mother clan to control the three princes and let this mysterious force assist the prince to ascend the throne. As long as the crown prince becomes the emperor, her daughter Shen Qianxue can become the empress.
But Shen Xiongfei has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, what kind of person is his original wife. Than people don't know, she still knows very well. It's that kind of medical skill that can make this Qingyuan Continent unreachable, even if he finds his daughter's mother, can he control it with his own strength?
The things outside are already in trouble, and the people who should be sent away from the secret passage are sent away. Shen Xiongfei walked out of the secret room with a black face, and his face changed when he came to the gate. immediately scolded: "Give me all the retreat!"
Then he hurriedly ran over, and fell to his knees in a pool of blood. Directly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Participate in the Three Princes!"
Jiang Qi was wiping the bloodied sword with a handkerchief, and finally saw the main owner come out. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "General Shen, what kind of place is this? This is the imperial city of the empire, and your people dare to stop this king from doing his routine business in a big way." Do you want to resist the decree?"
Routine, with a holy decree in hand. This time, Shen Xiongfei was really panicked, he raised his head and saw Jiang Heng of the Prince's Palace riding a horse not far away. I can't help but be happy, this time I really have a savage.
But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got up and came over, he asked, "Third brother, why are you still at the gate?" ”
Is this what you mean to blame yourself? Jiang Qi glanced at Shen Xiongfei, who was kneeling on the ground, with disdain, and explained, "Big brother, this person won't let me in. His people also said that even if there was an emperor's holy decree, no one would be able to enter without the intention of their general. ”
If it was left on weekdays, the prince would give Shen Xiongfei a face. I can't bear that this old man will stand in front of him in the future, and it will also look at the face of his daughter who has captivated the country and the city. But now, Emperor Lao Tzu's knife has been put on his neck. If you say anything more, it will be a little pale, so she said, "Don't get out of the way, take me and my third brother to see the second lady of your mansion." ”
Shen Xiongfei was suddenly stunned, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little angry and shouted: "Don't lead the way yet!"
Shen Xiongfei stood up sharply and walked directly towards the gate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also immediately picked up their horses and just galloped away.
At this moment, it was on another path passing through the Fangcao Courtyard where Shen Qianfeng lived. Shen Qianxue's eldest girl, Chun Tao, hurriedly turned her head and wanted to tell her own young lady when she watched several big people rush towards the courtyard where the second lady lived.
But as soon as he took a step, his legs weakened and he fell to his knees, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up.
At the same time, a red light emanated from the middle of Yerba Buena and shot straight into the sky. The red light shot into the clouds, and a powerful force completely enveloped the two miles in all directions. Two of the three people who rushed forward knelt down as soon as their knees went limp.
Jiang Qi's legs trembled and swayed, but in the end he still insisted on not kneeling. The red light lasted for two breaths, and then it dissipated without a trace in front of everyone's eyes.
"Third brother, is there something wrong with the second young lady!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got up from the ground regardless of his image, and ran ahead while asking. If the only person who could find the silver also died, then he Jiang Heng would have no possibility of turning over from now on.
Jiang Qi also didn't believe it, and it was easy to surpass the two of them with light skills. When a man rushed into Fangcao Courtyard, he saw that Xiaohua and Xiaomei had already sorted out their clothes and stood honestly at the door of the room.
When the man came to him and was about to break in, Xiaohua immediately stopped him and hurriedly said, "Master, Miss is taking a bath!"
Knowing that Shen Qianfeng's life was not in danger, Jiang Qi took two steps back and then turned around to guard the door.
