Hubu Shangshu was subordinate to Yipin Da in the Great Chu Dynasty, and was in charge of the household system and finances of the entire empire, and was definitely a hot figure.

Usually, everyone is very willing to slap this God of Wealth, and after a long time, they naturally develop a character with their eyes above the top.

But now, his head is covered in cold sweat and his legs are trembling, where is there still a little bit of the style that a first-class master should have,

People are afraid of death, especially those who are in high and powerful positions, they are reluctant to have the power in their hands, and they are even more reluctant to be prosperous and rich.

The moment the dagger fell to the ground, the old man said in a trill tone: "Hero, although the old man is the head of the imperial court and is in charge of the treasury, the money in the treasury is all the emperor's majesty's, and it has nothing to do with me, so don't look at me as a person in charge of so much money, in fact, I am a poor bastard,"

Xiao Hou Ye frowned: "What, are you crying poor, to paraphrase a sentence in your officialdom, three years of 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion, you have become a household secretary, it is not better than a five-grade Qing Governor's Mansion,"

When the old man heard this, he knelt down at that time: "Little hero, the old man has indeed saved a little money over the years, and he is willing to give it with both hands, just ask you to let me and my family go, okay?"

The little marquis said in his heart that even the officials were scared like this, those people who pretended to be me were really hateful,

Looking at the Hube Shangshu whose body was like sifting chaff, he snorted coldly: "Let me tell you the truth, I didn't come to you for money, let alone for your life, but I want to ask you a few questions, you must answer honestly, if you dare to have a lie, I guarantee that you will be empty,"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "You ask, the old man promises to know everything, as long as you don't kill me, I will answer you any question,"

The little marquis got straight to the point: "How much money is still in the treasury,"

The old man was stunned again, but immediately replied: "There are more than six million taels of silver, and I need to look at the account book for the specific number......

"No need," the little marquis interrupted him: "I'll ask you again, has this money been in the treasury all along?"

The old man suddenly frowned and said, "To be honest, I don't know where this money came from...... In fact, as early as ten days ago, the treasury was empty, and the last money was paid to the army fighting against the Pantheism in the north, that is, the group that surrendered in Ucheng later, but ......"

"But what, tell me the truth," the little marquis shouted coldly,

Although he didn't do the robbery of the rich, his notoriety had spread throughout the imperial capital, as long as he was a rich man, regardless of whether he was a businessman or an official, he was terrified to the extreme.

So he didn't have to put on a fierce expression at all, let alone show his weapon, to make the first-class member of the court in front of him tremble.

"I said, and I continued," the old man continued, "and one morning I found that all the guards of the treasury had been replaced, and that the empty treasury was also full of gold and silver treasures, and it was supposed that any income and expenditure of the treasury should be notified to me, but I knew nothing about it, and later His Majesty the Emperor told me that he had taken out the private money he had accumulated for many years to supplement the huge war expenses."

The little marquis said in his heart, this is right, the robbery of the rich must have been done by the emperor.

He asked again, "Do you believe the emperor's words?"

"Believe it, do I dare not believe the Emperor's words," replied the old man.

"Really," the little marquis's tone became even colder,

The old man wiped his sweat and said truthfully: "I doubted, because I knew that the inner treasury of the palace had long been empty, not to mention whether the emperor had private money, even if he had, it should be placed in the inner treasury, and it would not be possible to set up a small treasury privately, but the emperor himself said so, how dare a courtier doubt it,"

The little marquis was very satisfied with his answer, but still said coldly: "I can not kill you, but you must promise not to tell about today's matter, otherwise, I guarantee that your family will all go to hell,"

The old man swore directly: "I will definitely not say it, little hero, you can rest assured, it will not benefit me if you say it, the emperor will order me to kill me without you doing it,"

Call......

A gust of wind blew towards him, the old man subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Xiao Chen had already disappeared,

He let out a sigh of relief, and his whole body was about to collapse, and he continued to kneel on the ground,

......

The treasury, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, heavily guarded,

The building form here is mainly semi-underground, and the warehouses for storing gold and silver are located below the surface, and the above-ground buildings only play a foil role, so they appear relatively low.

Xiao Chen stood on the eaves not far away and observed carefully for a while,

The number of defenders is more than 3,000 people, mainly the soul warriors of the Ning Wu Realm, and the officers are composed of high-level soul soldiers, plus this place is close to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, which is particularly strong.

The fire-attribute leaf martial soul slowly floated over, smoothly passed through the gap in the thick warehouse door, entered the warehouse, and conveyed the situation inside to the master.

In the warehouse, there are countless gold and silver ingots stacked messily, ranging from hundreds of small cars to one or two silver nude.

The little marquis smiled secretly, Emperor Li Dingbang was ashamed enough, and even said that the stolen money was his own private property, who would believe that the emperor who was high above would save so many silver nudes that were less than one or two weights,

In the past, I wanted to give a fire to the treasury, but the walls and the ground here are made of stones, and the ceiling is the same, there is no flammable wooden structure, and it is not easy to light it.

He had no choice but to go out in person, avoid several teams of patrols, open the door of the warehouse with the leaf martial spirit, go inside and sprinkle the oil inside, and leave more than a dozen oil jars,

A few minutes later, the soldiers on guard smelled a puff of smoke and the sound of snorting came and went,

Someone glanced back, and then shouted loudly: "Oh no, it's on fire inside, everyone go find a fire fighting tool,"

The place quickly became a mess, and amid the shouts of the soldiers, the man who kept the key to the door of the vault ran over and hurriedly opened the big dream,

At this moment, the oil jar inside exploded, and the violent shock wave turned the soldier carrying the bucket on his back.

The fire inside is so serious that water can't extinguish it.

In the distance, the little marquis had a smile on his face, and said in his heart that you can rob the rich family's money, why can't the little master rob you,

Before he set the fire, he had put all the contents into the bracelet.

Soon, the news reached the palace and woke up Li Dingbang, who had finally fallen asleep.

Due to the frequent civil strife, Li Dingbang's life is not good, the quality of sleep is greatly affected, and insomnia often occurs.

Today, because I was in a good mood, I went to bed early.

Who would have thought that as soon as he fell asleep for a while, a eunuch ran in in a panic and said that the treasury was on fire,

Li Dingbang is so angry, how can the treasury of a good state be on fire, wait, the treasury is on fire, and the millions of taels of silver that have just been put in the village are on fire.

He suddenly fell asleep, and immediately sent someone to Xuanfu Ma Du Lieutenant Liu Xun,

Now the person who is in charge of guarding the treasury is Liu Xun and his subordinates of the Blood Shadow Hall, after all, the money is robbed, and the emperor is not at ease if someone else is in charge of guarding it.

Liu Xun hurried over, and the first thing he said was: "Oh no, Your Majesty, the treasury is on fire, and the property inside is burned,"
