Chapter 445: Emptying the Entire Western Region
She looked at the tunnel and knew at a glance that it had been dug not long ago.
I think it was dug by this Heavenly Master and the so-called Sect Leader behind him.
Just then, the noise outside the door gradually subsided, and she pushed the door open and walked into the room through the gap.
It was empty here, there was nothing. She looked outside and found that the courtyard was not big, there were only a few houses outside, and there were not many guards here.
She recalled the layout of the Western Region Palace and calculated the distance she had walked. She thought that she was already outside the palace.
This should be the escape route that the Taoist priest left for himself.
"The Sect Master will be here in a few days. You all should be alert and make sure nothing goes wrong. Do you understand?" A woman's voice sounded: "Has the Qi Luo that the Sect Master likes been delivered?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Qiluo has been prepared long ago and stored in the manor outside the city. We will send it to you when the Sect Master arrives." The voice that just spoke at the door came again, with a flattering tone: "Auntie, I wonder how long the Sect Master will stay here this time?"
Upon hearing this, the woman said in a cold voice, "How long does the Sect Master want to stay? Is it your place to ask? This is something that the Young Sect Master should be concerned about."
"Yes, yes, I have overstepped my authority."
The two people's voices gradually faded away, Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly, Sect Master, Young Sect Master.
I guess the so-called Heavenly Master is the young sect master.
As for the sect leader, she was somewhat curious.
Moreover, the young sect leader specifically mentioned the Dingguo Palace today. What kind of grudge does this evil sect, whose name is unknown, have with the Dingguo Palace?
She had wanted to check out the situation here today, but seeing that it was getting late, she had another place to go.
Fortunately, the next place to go was also outside the palace. Shang Ruoyi came to the door. There were not many guards here. No one would have thought that there would be outsiders appearing in this inconspicuous courtyard.
She tapped her toes and dodged away.
As the space continued to upgrade, the internal strength in her body became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, her figure shuttled through the night sky. Unless one had extremely high internal strength, one would not be able to even see her afterimage clearly.
Soon, her figure appeared on the roof of the Ministry of Revenue warehouse.
This is where the treasury of the Western Region is located.
She looked at the hundreds of guards below and couldn't help but hesitate. The lights were bright down there and there was not even a blind spot. How could she get in?
She narrowed her eyes slightly. It was not good enough in the dark, so she had to go for the bright one.
Shang Ruoyi changed into a guard's clothes, holding a box in her hand, and came to the main gate of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Who are you?" The soldier outside the door held the knife at his waist across his body and asked, "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"Your Majesty has ordered that the one million taels of silver be deposited in the national treasury. Why don't you release it immediately?" She raised the box in her hand and said, "Please have a look, my Lord."
The gatekeeper opened the box and found that there were indeed silver bills inside, so his guard was lowered a little.
After all, thieves always steal from the national treasury. Why would a thief put money into the national treasury?
"Do you have the written order from the Minister of Revenue?"
"The Emperor sent it urgently, and did not ask for your instructions. He only said that the banknotes were used for military supplies and would be taken away soon, so you just need to send it."
I have to say, she really made this excuse by accident.
This kind of situation happened a few years ago, and after hearing her say this, the guards at the gate believed it without a doubt.
"go in!"
Shang Ruoyi raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard that, and walked inside carrying the box.
There are four doors here in total. After the last door, you will reach the treasury.
There are a total of forty-nine Ku Dings guarding here, all of them are masters of the palace, and one is worth ten.
Even though her skills have greatly improved now, if she faces so many people at the same time, she can only avoid the attack temporarily.
Seeing her coming, a Kuding stopped her.
"What's in here?"
"My lord, it's a banknote of one million taels." After she finished speaking, she opened the box.
"Leave it to me, and you can go back and report!" After saying that, the man wanted to take the box.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruoyi quickly closed the box and whispered, "Sir, there are one million taels in here. I must personally put these banknotes in the treasury and seal them with a seal. Otherwise, if even one or half a banknote is missing, I will have no head left."
"What do you mean?" Ku Ding said in a deep voice: "We have been guarding the national treasury here for many years. What kind of silver have we not seen? How could we embezzle these things in your hand?" After saying that, he wanted to reach out to take it.
Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice when she saw this: "Sir, these banknotes are for military supplies. If there is less, I will tell the King of the City that you put the box in the treasury. If you are willing to take this responsibility, please state your name."
Hearing her say this, Ku Ding withdrew his hand awkwardly, his eyes fell on her, and he thought to himself that such a thin person would not steal anything from the national treasury, and there would be four body searches when he went out.
"Come with me." He said in a cold voice, "Don't touch or move things around in the treasury. If something is lost, you will be punished."
"Yes." Shang Ruoyi followed him in.
"The banknotes are in the innermost part. Follow me and don't look around."
"Yes."
There are some big boxes placed at the door, and inside are various shelves filled with all kinds of treasures.
Shang Ruoyi walked to the innermost part, put the box away, and sealed it with oil wax.
After doing all this, Shang Ruoyi turned around and looked at Ku Ding and smiled.
Without waiting for his reaction, she moved her fingers slightly, and a wisp of green smoke popped out. A faint fragrance entered his nostrils, and in an instant, his eyes became dull.
Shang Ruoyi's voice rang in his ears: "Remember, no matter who asks, it was a small guard who put the banknotes into the treasury and left. You don't know anything else. Do you remember?"
Nakuding nodded and said dully, "I'll remember it."
As Shang Ruoyi thought about it, all the treasures in the warehouse were stored in the space. The gold, silver and jewelry in the boxes disappeared, and even the treasures on the upper floors were all stored in the space.
Only the boxes were still there.
All this happened in the blink of an eye and there was no delay.
So when she walked out of the treasury, she did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Most importantly, after checking at several doors, it was confirmed that she did not bring anything with her.
In this way, she looted the national treasury openly without being discovered by anyone.
When Shang Ruoyi returned to the bedroom, it was almost dawn.
She was not sleepy at all and really wanted to know how interesting the Western Region Emperor's expression would be when he saw that all the silver and money in his private treasury and the national treasury had disappeared.
