Xiao Ke received the order from Gonggong Li, and then immediately ordered three thousand Imperial Forest Army, and then went straight to Qiao's house with a fierce attitude.

On the way, Xiao Ke couldn't help but whisper to Gonggong Li: "Gonggong Li, Your Majesty ordered us to go to Qiao's house first, isn't this a little in a hurry." We copied Qiao's house, wouldn't it be to let Qiao Zhennan know His Majesty's determination to deal with him, besides, Qiao Zhennan is now on the way back to the immortal bird, what if Qiao Zhennan knows the news and takes the immortal bird back? ”

Gonggong Li looked at Xiao Ke with a smile: "What does Lord Xiao mean that Your Majesty is too impatient?" ”

Xiao Ke knew that Gonggong Li was a confidant in front of His Majesty Jiang Ning, and he didn't dare to speak ill of Jiang Ning in front of Gonggong Li, so he shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, I think there would be a more cautious and prudent way, this is a bit of a surprise." ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said, "Lord Xiao, you are too worried, do you think about why Qiao Zhennan is in a hurry to leave Qilin City and go back to the Immortal Bird?" He had clearly noticed that something was wrong, and the entire Qiao family was already aware of the problem, and they were already selling their properties. This snake is not only frightened now, but is about to run away, how can you not want to alarm him? ”

Xiao Ke: "But if we don't move the Qiao family first, we can more or less paralyze Qiao Zhennan and make Qiao Zhennan mistakenly think that the matter is not so serious." ”

Gonggong Li saw that there was no one left and right, and leaned into Xiao Ke's ear and whispered: "What you said also has some truth, in fact, I will tell you." His Majesty was in a hurry to raid Qiao Zhennan's house, and there was another reason, that is, His Majesty's inner treasury was empty. Now even the monthly living expenses of the queen mother and the concubines of various palaces, the money, as well as the monthly salaries of the eunuchs, palace maids, and the guards of the Great House, are going to be a problem. It's September, and the weather is starting to get cooler and colder, but the fireplace in His Majesty's palace is reluctant to use it, so he almost didn't secretly take the precious treasures of the Ouchi Treasury to sell them for relief. Your Majesty is short of money, so you should understand why Your Majesty is in a hurry to raid Qiao Zhennan's house, right? ”

Xiao Ke was dumbfounded when he heard this, in his previous cognition, His Majesty was the top person in the world, and the entire empire belonged to him, of course, he was also the richest, but he didn't expect His Majesty's life to be difficult!

Xiao Ke couldn't help but say: "There is no reason for this, the tax income in the world ......"

Gonggong Li interrupted Xiao Ke's words: "It is all from the cabinet, it belongs to the public money, and it does not belong to the money of His Majesty's treasury, and His Majesty is not qualified to use it, and it is impossible for Zhang Kuchan's old men to use the funds of the public money." ”

Xiao Ke was silent when he heard this, he finally knew why His Majesty could only support equipment, not funds, when the Steel Wheel was formed.

Gonggong Li said to Xiao Ke again: "You don't have to worry too much, Qiao Zhennan is an old fox, whether we copy the Qiao family or not, he is ready to retreat, don't move a soldier, I don't think it will be so easy to take him down, so don't think so much now, copy the Qiao family and talk about it." ”

Xiao Ke had no choice, so he could only follow Gonggong Li and come to Qiao's house with three thousand imperial forest troops.

Gonggong Li is obviously familiar with this kind of thing, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Surround the house for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

Then, he ordered someone to open the door, and the servant of the Qiao family opened the door, and when he saw this formation, he asked in a trembling voice what he was doing?

Gonggong Li snorted coldly: "The Qiao family headed by Qiao Zhennan betrayed the empire, privately supported the Chamber of Commerce in the lawless land, colluded with zombies, and betrayed the interests of the empire. ”

Gonggong Li's words made the Qiao family fall into a wail in an instant.

However, a large number of Imperial Forest Army broke into the door and forcibly seized anything in the mansion to control the Qiao family's personnel, and at the same time, Gonggong Li sent several teams to seize the Qiao family's other properties in Qilin City.

Soon, the commander of the Imperial Forest came over and said to Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li: "The valuable things and cash and jewelry are temporarily moved to the Qiao family's warehouse, please go in with Master Xiao to take a look." ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Xiao Ke nodded, and followed Gonggong Li to the warehouse, where only a dozen centurions of the Royal Forest Army were guarded, and the rest were not qualified to approach.

Xiao Ke saw that most of the centurions were here, and realized something slightly, and he quietly walked into the Qiao family's warehouse with Gonggong Li.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still stunned by the scene in front of me.

In addition to a large number of gold coins, jewelry, antiques, jade, all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as various precious weapons, equipment, various rare medicines, and medicinal materials. What made Xiao Ke and them even more eye-opening was that the warehouse was piled up with gold brick walls, and the house was full of golden light.

Gonggong Li asked the commander of the Imperial Forest: "Have you estimated the value of these things?" ”

"The gold brick gold coin is about equal to 33 million gold coins, and the rest of the antiques, jewelry, and precious medicinal materials have no valuation, and the mansion and Qiao's other shops, businesses, and villas are also not appraised."

"Hehe, the Qiao family is really rich." Gonggong Li suddenly lowered his voice: "Everyone has worked hard, so let's do it, 30 million is enough for us to go back and explain to Your Majesty." Xiao Ke and I each take 1 million gold coins, the commander you take 500,000 gold coins, and the other 30 centurions will divide 500,000 gold coins equally, do you have any opinions? ”

The commander smiled: "Brothers, but it is up to Gonggong Li to make up his mind!" ”

Gonggong Li turned his head to look at Xiao Ke: "Xiao Ke, what about you?" ”

Xiao Ke is now in charge, and now he really doesn't take this million gold coins in his eyes, and he doesn't bother to do this kind of thing, so he said immediately: "I won't take it." ”

As soon as these words came out, in an instant, Gonggong Li and the commander, as well as the centurion behind him, all changed their faces.

Everyone takes it, you don't take it, a few meanings, you are innocent, and everyone else is greedy?

Xiao Ke was not stupid, of course, he immediately noticed the strange expressions of these people around him.

Gonggong Li also frowned and said, "Xiao Ke, you are not social, it's not a good habit." Don't think there's anything wrong with that, I can tell you that even if His Majesty knew about this situation, he would acquiesce. Your Majesty also knows that we subordinates are not having a good time, and besides, we only take less than 10%, which is already very regular. Xiao Ke, if you say something like this, I'm afraid it's not good, haven't you heard that when the water is clear, there are no fish? ”

Xiao Ke knew that Gonggong Li and these people were His Majesty's henchmen, and it was not good to offend these people, after all, he was also in the imperial camp now.

So, he smiled slightly, and said to Gonggong Li and them: "I mean, I don't want this million gold coins, but give me those Force Fountains, Bone Cutting and Washing Pills, and Angel's Kiss Elixirs!" ”

Gonggong Li and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all immediately laughed, everyone did not have the hostility towards Xiao Ke just now, and laughed one by one.

Gonggong Li said with a smile: "Xiao Ke, you are really good at picking, these things are worth much more than 1 million gold coins...... However, we are all His Majesty's people, and we are all buddies when it comes to it, and we also use so many calculations, if you like these potions, take them all, after all, you are killing enemies on the front line, these are very useful to you, I can understand. ”

Gonggong Li turned his head to the commander and said, "As for Xiao Ke's 1 million gold coins, you and your subordinates will be divided, no opinion, right?" ”

Everyone was even happier, and they all giggled and said they had no opinion.

Soon, each of them took his share, and the rest of the 30 million gold coins, gold bricks, and other treasures were loaded into carts and transported back to the palace treasury.

After Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li left some people to guard the Qiao family's mansion, they went back to the palace to communicate with His Majesty.
