"If you want to lift the curfew, you must have Li Jiudou, the marshal of the city protection department, or Yu Wenzhao, the marshal of the inner palace. Tonight on the winter solstice, Li Jiudou will definitely not be on the street, and Yu Wenzhao may also be in the palace. When we find them to lift the curfew, at least More than half an hour. What to do now?" Zhao Gaoqiang looked at Sima Yue and asked.
Sima Yue frowned and said: "Sima can only be the doctor. I immediately went to the palace and asked Li Benxin to lift the curfew. I hope to stop the thieves before they leave the vault."
"I'm afraid it's too late. Since Xue Yang took office, he has set out the duties and powers of each government office in detail. During the curfew, even Tianqing's divine arrester has no power to move around, let alone the power to mobilize troops. Now you can only go back to the house and send troops People go and submit a letter to the inner government. Only when the inner government agrees will the news be sent to King Tiandu." Zhao Gaoqiang added.
"Damn it! You immediately send someone to deliver a message to the inner government, no, send a message directly to Xue Yang. Xue Yang is an upright man. If he knows the news, he will definitely tell King Tiandu to lift the curfew as soon as possible. I will go to Yin Mansion first to see him What’s going on there?”
After saying that, Sima Yue abandoned her horse and flew into the night, avoiding all the inquiries on the street, and rushed to Yin Shaozheng's mansion.
Sima Yue flew into the Yin Mansion and saw thousands of people holding work handles and busy in front of the central courtyard treasury door. Some people are smashing the roof, some are smashing the walls, and they are busy. Yin Shaozheng was sputtering at the corners of his mouth, and he was so anxious that the veins on his forehead stood out, and he kept cursing.
"How's it going?" Sima Yue suddenly landed next to Young Master Yin, frightening Young Master Yin.
Smiling, as if seeing the savior, he hugged Sima Yue and cried loudly: "Sima Tianqing, you came just in time. Something big happened. There was a thief in my vault, but I can't get in! What do you think this is? Let’s do it!”
Sima Yue pushed Yin Shaozheng away, with a look of disdain on her face, and said coldly: "I told you earlier that the gold and silver we get will be used out. If we keep them at home and get moldy, sooner or later we will benefit others. Why can't you get into your own treasury?" Already?"
Yin Shaozheng sobbed: "This treasury was built by Luo Quchi, the head of the Jiulin Sect. Three keys must be opened at the same time to enter. But Yin Shaocheng, that dead thing, I don't know where he went tonight, and I can't find him. Luo Quchi was there." He said that it is impossible for anyone to break into the six iron walls of the treasury, and only the front door can enter. Who knows how this Tiansha thief got in from the ground. There are several feet of iron wall under the ground, and several feet thick. Bluestone, even explosives cannot blow through it. How could this thief break through the ground and get in all at once? Sima Tianqing, please think of a way for me. If you can help me catch the thief, I will repay you with a lot of money. ah."
"Your vault is so tight, I can't do anything about it. You have been plotted. The sound of firecrackers everywhere tonight is to cover up the explosion of your vault. Also, I originally planned to bring the Tianmen Divine Gun to help you open it. But On the way, we encountered thieves causing trouble. The City Guards and the Forbidden Army suddenly imposed a curfew, and the Tianmen Divine Gun could not be transported. I am now asking the King of Tiandu to lift the curfew, hoping it will be in time. However, the other party has planned so carefully, and your gold I guess I can't keep the silver." Sima Yue said helplessly.
"Ah! What kind of evil thief dares to target my Yin Shaozheng's treasury. If he is caught by me, I will definitely destroy all ten of his clans! My savings of several decades, smash the wall quickly, smash the wall quickly." Yin Shaozheng seemed to be crazy. , screaming at everyone to smash the wall quickly, his eyes began to fill with blood.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another violent explosion was heard, and the entire Yin Mansion was shaken for several miles.
The people who were busy were all frightened by this sound and stopped.
"What's going on? Why is it shaking again?" Everyone was confused.
Sima Yue sighed: "The thieves have already succeeded. It's too late. They must have emptied the gold and silver and then blew up the underground secret passage." Upon hearing this, Yin Shaozheng sat down on the ground and immediately started crying and howling.
Soon, King Li Benxin of Tiandu learned about the attack on Yin Shaozheng's treasury. Although Li Benxin was hostile to the four major families, Yin Shaozheng was in charge of the world's finances and taxation, so his treasury was naturally important. What's more, after getting rid of the four major families, the gold and silver will belong to you and must not be taken away by others. So, he hurriedly ordered Li Longxin and Yu Wenzhao to lead five thousand imperial guards to Yin Mansion to check.
When Yu Wenzhao lifted the curfew, the Tianmen Divine Gun was transported to the Yin Mansion and the treasury door was blown open, only to see thick smoke billowing inside. Yin Shaozheng desperately rushed in with his men, but found that the huge treasury was empty, with not a single silver ingot or gold in it. The iron walls of the vault were pitch black everywhere, and the floor was filled with smoke and fire. Not even a single footprint could be seen.
"My money! My money, eh!" Seeing that all his money was stolen, Yin Shaozheng was so angry that blood immediately rushed to his head, and he threw it to the bottom. Foam flowed from the corners of his mouth. He was also unconscious and could only cover the floor. twitch. A group of servants hurriedly carried Yin Shaozheng out to ask the doctor for treatment.
The sky was green and before dawn, the Yin Mansion was already filled with court officials.
Yesterday, during the winter solstice, the city was filled with the sound of firecrackers and a festive atmosphere. Who would have thought that there would be such a big secret hidden in this bustle. Yin Shaozheng, the world-recognized God of Wealth, had his treasury stolen. It sounds both ridiculous and terrifying. The king of Tiandu, Li Ben, was in a hurry, and everyone from the inner and outer government and the Shenhua Department investigated the case together and must recover the stolen gold and silver.
All the officials walked into Yin Shaozheng's vault, only to see that it was completely burned inside, without even a trace left. Kou Ling looked back at Qiao Bafang, shook his head, and sighed: "What do you think is going on? Who has such a big list, who has such great ability, who can steal Yin Shaozheng's treasury in one night?"
Qiao Bafang shook his head and said seriously: "I don't know. However, Lao Yin is in trouble this time. I heard that he suffered a stroke, and I don't know if he can recover. Tell me, how much gold is hidden in his vault? Where’s the silver?”
"It's hard to say. Anyway, it should be a scary number. Without money, the God of Wealth will be a pauper. From now on, with the black and white factions and the kings, the Yin family will lose power. Now that Sima Yue's military power is gone, Yin Shaozheng's money No more, our four major families are really unlucky." Kou Ling.
"As time goes by, if we are unlucky enough, we should make a comeback. As long as Sima Tianqing's plan succeeds, we can get back everything we lost." Qiao Bafang was calm.
Wang Luochuan walked in the vault, using the Zhanzhan Qi Jue, not daring to miss a single trace, and carefully inspected the scene. This case can be said to be the biggest robbery since the establishment of the Tiandu Dynasty. If he can find out, he will naturally become famous all over the world and can prove his worth to the King of Tiandu and the four major families.
However, he looked around and found no useful clues.
"The entire vault was burned with kerosene, and then blown up with explosives. Even the bodies of the four dead monks were taken away. All clues were destroyed, and things were done so seamlessly. This is by no means an ordinary river and lake. It seems that I have met my opponent." Wang Luochuan not only had doubts in his heart.
Sima Yue stood in the center of the treasury and saw the hole made by the Tianmen Divine Gun, feeling full of doubts in her heart.
"To blast through such a thick iron wall, only my Tianmen Divine Spear can do it. Could it be that the thief used the Tianmen Divine Spear? Last time, twenty of my Tianmen Divine Spears were robbed by Li Chunjin of Plum Blossom Villa. Is it possible? Is the theft of the treasury related to Li Chunjin? And Li Chunjin could rise quickly and destroy the Red Blood Sect in one breath. She must have a powerful backer behind her. This backer is most likely Luo Fan or Li Benxin. Could it be that Luo Fan is responsible for all this? What he did? That’s quite reasonable.”
"Master, who do you think is so capable that he can take over Yin Shaozheng's treasury? I heard that there are at least tens of millions of taels of silver in this treasury! It would take two days to move it. How could it be possible in just an hour? Have they all been stolen?" Zhao Xue asked doubtfully as she walked beside Xue Yang.
"Since he dares to steal Yin Shaozheng's treasury, can send out firecrackers all over the city, and can easily blow up holes in the ground, this thief must have a good background. You see, there is not even a single clue left at the scene. It's not like he is so meticulous in his work. The number of ways in the world is really unbelievable." Xue Yang also had no clue.
"Yes. This thing is so unexpected. Last night, firecrackers went off all over the Dragon City. No one could have imagined that there was such a big conspiracy hidden in it. However, Yin Shaozheng deserved it. Who asked him to hide all the money in his own home? The miser finally got his comeuppance." Ji Cheng laughed and said.
"How much gold must be hidden in such a big treasury? Tell me, if we solve this case and recover the lost silver, will King Tiandu reward us more?" He Mingming asked with a happy face.
"Reward, of course. If you can catch this thief, I'll reward you with tens of thousands of taels of silver. That's not trivial. However, I'm afraid this thief will be difficult to catch. Look, Sima Yue, Wang Luochuan, and the others who can Everyone is here. Who doesn’t want to take the credit?" Ji Cheng smiled.
In another group, Li Jiudou, Xun Xijiang, Li Hengdong and other senior officials in the internal government were also whispering.
"What a bold thief. He actually stole Yin Shaozheng's treasury. This Yin Shaozheng is also mentally ill. He couldn't get into his own treasury, but let thieves take advantage of it. It's really clever but he was misled by cleverness. With so much gold and silver, we are very I won't be able to earn it in a lifetime, oh, no, a hundred lifetimes. This thief is so abominable, the case must be solved as soon as possible." Li Jiudou spoke righteously, with a face full of pain, as if he was annoyed that he had lost money.
"Haha, that's right. Everyone knows that Young Master Yin is the living god of wealth, so it's not surprising that someone is targeting him. What's surprising is that the thief stole all the money so easily, without even leaving a single silver scum behind. . To do such a big thing, at least hundreds of people must act at the same time. I don’t believe that the other party can leave no clues. Brother Li, I heard that someone deliberately caused trouble in the street last night, and asked you to protect the city. Curfew. Didn't you catch anyone there? Also, transporting so much money requires hundreds of carriages and horses. Is there no sign at all the important roads in Dragon City?" Divine Catcher Li Hengdong looked at Li Jiudou and asked.
"I haven't even caught Mao. I heard that the Yin Mansion's treasury was stolen, so I knew it was a serious matter, so I arranged for the city guard to investigate the entire Dragon City overnight. But it was really strange, nothing was found. I don't know, It's really strange how those thieves transported the money away." Li Jiudou.
"Since the silver was stolen from underground, the opponent must have started planning months ago. Most of the stolen silver was also stolen from a secret passage, but it is not difficult to transport so much silver away. Tiandu The king is ordered to solve the case as soon as possible. Marshal Li, I still need to trouble your city protection department to expand the scope of the search, preferably to an area of 200 miles near Longcheng, to ensure that the silver will not be transported away." At this time, Li Benxin's confidant The leader of the secret guards, Li Longxin, came with the golden armored guards and gave instructions.
