After the court was over, everyone in the inner palace congratulated Luofan one after another. Although most of them don't like Luo Fan in their hearts and don't approve of Luo Fan being the person in charge, everyone can see that Luo Fan has a bright future and they still have to do good things on the surface.
Sima Yue and the others all had the same frost on their faces. However, although they were angry, they did not show it too much. The repeated blows did not seem to make them lose their minds. Because they all knew that Sima Yue had already arranged a game. As long as this game is completed, Li Benxin and the inner government will have no chance to turn around.
Back home, Sima Yue hid in the secret room again and sat quietly. Lately, there have been so many things that caught her off guard, which only made her calmer. She continued to push forward her plans to ensure that Li Benxin would be defeated in one fell swoop after the Black and White Alliance Conference. And this is her last chance to make a comeback.
Jiao Chi in the blood pool is still transforming. Now he can barely see human flesh and blood, and he has turned completely golden. Sometimes, Sima Yue wonders, is he still a human being? However, Sima Yue at least knew that Jiao Chi and himself were both careerists, a wolf and a wolf who could help each other. If Jiao Chi can really master the Golden Fight, then she will have another chance of winning.
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Fan and Jicheng summoned Xie Xu and others to discuss the details of the Niutoushan Conference. Because the Black and White Alliance Conference was related to the safety of the dynasty, Luofan mobilized most of the people of the Divine Catcher Division and only arranged Wang Luochuan, a Chatian Cuixian, to handle the case. When they heard that Luofan had been promoted to the rank of "Great God Captor", everyone in the Divine Captor Division was envious and jealous. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Luofan would be superior to them, and even Xie Xu had to accept Luofan's arrangement.
Luofan also gave full play to his leadership skills and handed over most of the work to Ji Cheng and Xie Xu, who arranged everything. On the other hand, he was content to sit back and relax, because his main focus now was still on stealing Young Master Yin's treasury.
Two days later, the winter solstice.
As Luofan expected, Yin Shaozheng convened the capital's merchants for a regular meeting. Nowadays, all the soldiers and horses of the four major families have been captured by Li Benxin, but the foundation of the four major families has not been touched. Yin Shaozheng is still the god of wealth in charge of the merchants in the world. And he has become accustomed to being arrogant over the years, and he has the feeling of a earthly emperor. If he doesn't show off his power in front of others, or if he doesn't see others groveling before him, he will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, such regular meetings have become an occasion for Yin Shaozheng to show his dominance. After the speech, there was a luxurious banquet, singing and dancing. However, he did not expect that today's banquet would become the last gorgeous scene in his life.
As soon as it got dark, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers began to sound in various streets of Dragon City.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Yang and his family ate dumplings together.
"Wow, I feel so full after eating! The dumplings are still delicious. It would be great if I could eat them every day." He Mingming lay crookedly on the chair and said with a smile. "Haha, we are all captured by the gods now. We can eat it every day. I'm afraid you will get tired of it." Yue E said with a smile.
"Yes, no matter how delicious this food is, you can't eat it every time." He Mingming.
At this time, Jicheng looked at Zhao Xue and asked, "Zhao Xue, I didn't ask you to invite Luofan to come and eat dumplings. During the winter solstice, it would be great to have a lively meal of dumplings together."
Zhao Xue smiled and said: "I invited him. He said that he was invited to a big dinner tonight and he couldn't come."
"I think it's better not to invite him in the future. We've invited him five or six times, but he hasn't come once. Besides, he doesn't lack for a meal of dumplings." He Mingming said displeasedly.
"By the way, we also bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers. Let's set them off together to have a fun time during the festival." Ye Tan stood up and said with a smile.
Everyone came to the yard and were surprised to see He Mingming and Ye Tan bringing a lot of firecrackers.
"Why buy so many? This past winter solstice, there was no habit of setting off fireworks. Where did these fireworks come from?" Xue Yang asked.
"I don't know. I heard that a few businessmen came from outside to take a look at the fireworks. And the price is very cheap. You can buy a lot of them for a few pennies. It's almost like giving them away for free. We spent dozens of pennies. , you see, I bought so much." He Mingming said with a smile.
"This is unreasonable. The price of fireworks and firecrackers has never been cheap. Don't these businessmen make money? Isn't this a loss? I think there must be something fishy here." Zhao Xue doubted.
"Never mind it. Some people scolded it for being too expensive. Why do people still care about it when it was too cheap? Also, I heard that today is a holiday and the night curfew has been lifted. There is a night market on the street. Why don't you go and see the excitement? "He Mingming said with a smile.
"It's better not to go. After all, Dragon City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it's not peaceful." Xue Yang said.
…
As early as January ago, it was my first day in Dragon City. Luo Fan spent 700,000 taels on the street to buy the Zhang family. Luo Fan had already planned to steal Yin Shaozheng's treasury. Since then, the dark master has sent people to start digging the secret passage leading to Yin Shao's underground vault.
At night, the sound of firecrackers and noisy sounds in the streets enveloped Longcheng in a lively atmosphere.
Luofan took a dozen secret guards, as well as Black Rakshasa and Zen Master Yuhai, to the small courtyard two streets away from Yin's house. In the small courtyard, two deep and wide tunnels have been excavated, one leads to the underground of Yin Shaozheng's treasury, and the other leads to the woods east of Longcheng.
In the courtyard, the dark master was ordering dozens of black-clothed and masked masters to direct five hundred strong men to drive the carriages into the underground secret passage one after another. The five hundred strong men were all blindfolded and could only listen to the sounds.
Luofan came over and said with a smile: "Here we come, are these men in black your shadow dragon envoys?"
The Dark Lord said coldly: "Don't make blind guesses. The Shadow Dragon Guards will not be exposed to others' realization. These are the Dark Guards I trained."
"Then what about the powerful man who does the work? What to do next?" Luo Fan asked again.
Dark Master: "Don't worry, they are all coolies transferred from thousands of miles away. They don't know our identities or what we want to do. When they finish their work, they will all be sent to the southwest mountains. In a year or two , let them go. No one will find out."
"As expected, the arrangements are well made, so let's get started. You will guard the outside while I take people down in person."
Luofan then led people into the wide secret passage. When we arrived at the end of the secret passage, the location of the Tianmen Divine Spear had been arranged. Luo Fan touched the silver-white divine spear and sighed: "It is indeed a miraculous craftsmanship. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a secret passage left by an ancient immortal."
Looking back at Zhong Fengxue and the Great Zen Master Yuhai, he ordered: "When midnight comes, the sound of firecrackers will be heard on the streets of Longcheng at the same time. At that time, we will use the Tianmen Divine Gun to blast open the ground. Black Rakshasa, you must immediately kill Ten Thousand Needle Thunders are thrown into the treasury, and then the Golden Jade Shopkeeper flies into the treasury. If the four eminent monks are not knocked unconscious, you then throw out the explosives. If the explosives cannot hurt them, then the secret guards use Yue Gang Bow to kill them. .”
Everything was arranged, and everyone was waiting quietly underground. As soon as midnight arrives, dense firecrackers are set off on all streets in Longcheng. Outside Yin Shaozheng's house, the sound of firecrackers shocked everyone in their house. Why are there all these firecracker stalls around their house? Is it possible that he also wants to be blessed by the God of Wealth Mansion?
At this time, Yin Shaozheng was very drunk at the banquet. He felt happy and even more elated by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers in Dragon City. As for his younger brother Yin Shaocheng, he was already drunk and unconscious at the Fireworks Red Mansion.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the entire Yin Mansion felt the earth shake. The people in the mansion felt the shaking on the ground and were all confused. They couldn't figure out where the shaking came from. They could only guess that it was an earthquake. No one could have imagined that a big hole had been blown through the underground vault of the iron-walled vault.
In the treasury, four eminent monks were sitting upright, like carved stone and old wood, without a trace of confusion. They have hearing that is different from ordinary people, and darkness is no longer an obstacle. The sudden explosion woke them up from the dead silence of the past. The four of them opened their eyes at the same time, and the golden light shone in the dark night. They looked at the underground hole where thick smoke was coming from, and they knew that a thief was coming.
The hole in the ground exploded, and with a cry, Zhong Fengxue and Grand Zen Master Yuhai flew up. With a slight movement of their ears, they captured the positions of the four old monks in the vault. The Black Rakshasa did not hesitate and fired three Ten Thousand Needle Thunders into the vault at the same time. .
When the four old monks heard the incoming attack, they simultaneously mobilized their body-protecting energy and waved their monk robes to deflect the incoming attack! The Ten Thousand Needle Thunder unexpectedly exploded, and countless tiny and invisible golden needles were densely floating in the vault. The four old monks did not know that this golden needle was so thin that it could enter the body through breathing without them noticing.
But they were extremely masters after all, and they instantly realized something was wrong, "The golden needles are poisonous, so close your breath to protect your inner breath." The four old monks noticed something strange at the same time, and hurriedly used their luck to form a barrier inside and outside their bodies to block the poison.
"Put on the explosives!" Luo Fan followed behind the Great Zen Master Yuhai and ordered immediately.
Grand Zen Master Yuhai did not dare to delay and threw a dozen powerful thunderbolts into the treasury. Another huge explosion was heard, and the Yin Mansion shook violently on the ground. The guards guarding outside the vault finally realized something was wrong this time and hurriedly sent people to look for Yin Shaozheng.
After the explosion, Zen Master Yuhai and Zhong Fengxue listened carefully, but they clearly heard that none of the four old monks died. They hid behind the Gold and Silver Mountain, and with their powerful body-protecting aura, they actually blocked the impact of the explosion.
