Chapter 9: The Cook Who Committed Suicide

The sergeant who suddenly broke in shocked everyone present.

These sergeants did not spare their hands in the slightest, and the guards of the Yan Wangfu were knocked to the ground, some of their heads were broken, and they held their heads and wailed.

The sergeant was dressed in black scales, half of his face was covered by a mask, revealing only two pairs of cold eyes. The knife in his hand is not an ordinary simple knife, but a long knife with gold and silver patterns, and the slender knife body glows with cold light.

The top of the general's armor is tattooed with a golden dragon pattern, this costume can only be worn by the Beiya Forbidden Army, and if other guards wear this, they will definitely be engaged in military law. Look at the golden dragon pattern, there are two engraved seals, "Feather Forest".

These soldiers are all from the Yulin Army in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, as the head of the forbidden army, the Yulin Army not only guards the imperial city, but also is the emperor's private soldiers. These ruthless sergeants have always completely followed the emperor's will, and in their eyes, there is no difference between princes and ministers and ordinary people.

The general did not wait for the people in the courtyard to speak, as if he was just making a notice, and the sergeants behind him poured in and rushed into all corners of the palace.

Cui Xiaolian's face turned red, she was trembling with anger, and was about to open her mouth to scold, but Cui Fatzi hurriedly stopped her sister, leaned into her ear and said, "Sister, hold back, that's Yulin Army!" ”

Cui Xiaolian took a deep breath and said hatefully: "This is a dignified palace, even if it is the Yulin Army, how can there be such a trespass." You'd better be careful, Your Highness will be back soon!" ”

The general glanced at Cui Xiaolian, who didn't seem to take the princess's words seriously at all.

Yu Linjun rushed to the courtyard and began to rummage around, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs. The people of the palace were used to being arrogant, and they were suddenly hit by these sergeants, and some of them shouted to stop the Yulin army, but they were directly knocked unconscious with the handle of their knives.

These people still kept a hand, after all, the order was to search and not to raid the house.

The general walked in front of Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan, and he recognized the embroidered python brocade on Tang Yun's body, and as for Lu Pengyuan, he also recognized it. As for Cui Fatzi, he directly ignored it. The general said in a deep voice: "You two, why are you here?" ”

Lu Pengyuan frowned: "You came to search at the behest of His Majesty, what do you care we are doing here?" ”

The general's face was expressionless: "The subordinates want to confirm whether the two of you took something from the Yan Wang's mansion." ”

Stuff......

These Yulin troops suddenly broke into the palace to find something.

The entire palace is so big, what is there that is worthy of His Majesty's personal inquiry?

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the backyard, and the nearby Yulin Army rushed over with the sound. The general's pupils shrank, and he didn't bother to talk to the two, so he ran over.

The roar came from the backyard.

One of the Yulin guards had blood oozing from his shoulder, and blood flowed out, staining his armor red, but he remained indifferent, holding his spear flat in his hand, and the rest of the Yulin army did the same, they formed a circle and surrounded the people in it.

These men raised their guns to form a forest of guns, but they did not stab them, there was only one enemy, and the Yulin army could easily tear them apart. But a living mouth is better than a corpse.

Surrounded by was a cook, who was also covered in blood. He had a fierce face and a kitchen knife in his hand. It seems that he injured that Yu Lin Jun with this kitchen knife.

When the cook saw that all the Yulin troops had rushed to reinforcements, he couldn't help but have a flash of despair in his eyes.

The general shouted: "Control him, catch him alive!" ”

Several of the Yulin soldiers bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the cook's arm. Unexpectedly, a hint of determination suddenly flashed in the cook's eyes, and he suddenly raised the kitchen knife and cut it at his neck. He used this very hard, and he was hardly prepared to let himself live. The kitchen knife slashed the neck, and blood rushed out.

Sou!

An arrow flew out and landed on the cook's arm, whose hand hung limply, but the kitchen knife was already deep in his throat.

A Yu Lin Jun approached the cook, glanced at his gradually dimming eyes, and said, "This person is not saved." ”

The general's face was gloomy and he said, "Did you find anything?" ”

Yu Lin Jun sent a piece of silver ingot to the general's hand, Tang Yun could see it clearly from a distance, and the general's face obviously changed slightly.

It is estimated that even he himself did not expect that he had really found this silver ingot in the palace.

Tang Yun's guess was right, these Yulin troops were indeed here to find this silver ingot.

The point is, how could this thing appear in the Yanwang Mansion?

Originally, he was just a thief, and he inadvertently broke into the door of King Yan's mansion. But now, things are really getting bigger.

Yu Linjun rushed into the room and quickly dragged out a number of vegetable baskets, which were filled with purple and black vegetables. The Yulin Army dumped the vegetables on the ground.

The outside of the basket looks like it is covered with vegetables, but in fact, there are a lot of silver ingots hidden inside.

The rest of the baskets were all like this, and several Yulin soldiers continued to enter the room and continued to search, only to find a box from behind the stove.

The boxes are all iron and copper riveted boxes, and the lock head has been pryed open, but there is still the mark of the local official branch on the edge of the lock cylinder. These were the same pieces of silver that had been plundered in front of the treasury of the magistrates.

When the box was opened, the silver ingots were neatly arranged.

"Things are good, one is not allowed to fall, everyone continues to search!" The general gave the order with a gloomy face.

Yu Linjun moved quickly, and after a while, the entire mansion had been rummaged inside and out. However, no extra silver ingots were found.

The butler's hand trembled and couldn't control the trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "This cook is an old man in our house, and he usually pays it honestly, and these silver ingots will not be stolen by him." ”

"It has nothing to do with him, what did he do by committing suicide?" The general sneered, "Our mission is complete, and next, no one in the palace is allowed to leave!" ”

Cui Xiaolian finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and scolded sharply: "This is the Yan Palace, does Your Majesty have the will to make you besiege the palace?" ”

The general stared at Cui Xiaolian coldly, but he didn't care much about it because she was a princess, and took people away. Yu Lin Jun picked up the iron box on the ground and left the palace.

"I'm so angry, wait for His Highness to come back, let them know a little bit!" Cui Xiaolian jumped like thunder.

Cui Fatzi's face was like a blank piece of paper, and after a while, he came to his senses, turned his head and said to Cui Xiaolian: "Sister, woe is it!" ”

Cui Fatzi told Cui Xiaolian everything.

It's no wonder that Cui Xiaolian didn't know that the imperial court kept the news tightly sealed, and only claimed that there were monsters attacking her. Even if they saw the demon dragon, they only knew that a monster was coming, but they didn't know that this demon dragon had taken away the tax silver.

Cui Xiaolian's anger seemed to be extinguished by water, and she knew the seriousness of this matter.

This 10 million taels is almost Da Zhou's life-saving money!

The war in the Northern Wilderness is tight, and the war, food, grass, and silver soldiers have always been the most seriously consumed.

Your Highness, why haven't you come back yet?

Thinking of this, Cui Xiaolian suddenly felt a burst of fear.
