The two of them came all the way to the vicinity of the treasury.
Since the treasury was looted by the couple, in just one year, Emperor Shunwu, even with his great ability, could not collect so much property and store it there.
It can be said that today’s national treasury is in name only.
Especially after the queen takes power during this period, she will definitely be interested in the property in the treasury. There must be nothing valuable in it.
Perhaps because of this, the guards here at the treasury are much weaker than before.
When they emptied the treasury, they did not hide the secret passage when they left.
Emperor Shunwu discovered that the treasury had been stolen. The thief entered through a secret passage, so he would definitely send people to block it.
It's just that the security in the palace is so tight right now, they can only try here and look for an opportunity.
There are guards all around the treasury, but it is a situation where two teams of people patrol back and forth.
Mo Jiuye observed for a while and found that the entrance to the treasury would briefly disappear from sight.
However, this time is very short. According to the wall clock in the wife's space, it is only about one minute.
In other words, if they want to enter the treasury without anyone noticing, they must open the lock and enter within one minute.
He Zhiran also saw the clues.
"Husband, leave the lock on the door to me."
He Zhiran was not new to lock-picking. In his previous life, he had learned some introductory knowledge of lock-picking from his comrades in the army.
Modern locks are incomparable to modern high-tech products, and the lock core structure is also very simple. She is confident that she can open the lock smoothly.
Even if she failed, it didn't matter. The worst she could do was take Mo Jiuye and hide in the space when the guards appeared.
In short, as long as the couple is safe and secure, it doesn't matter if they experiment a few more times.
Mo Jiuye knew that his wife-in-law was capable, so she nodded without any doubt.
"Okay, let's use this opportunity to try. If it doesn't work, we'll hide in the space immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, just as the guard's sight was away from the main door, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran quickly came to the door.
He Zhiran had already taken out a thin wire from the space.
The wire in her hand was inserted into the keyhole, and after just a few random shakes, the lock was opened.
The two of them did not dare to make a sound. Mo Jiuye opened the door of the treasury to a gap that could only accommodate the two of them, and closed it gently after entering.
It was still dark now, and the guards didn't even notice that the lock on the door had disappeared. As long as the door was closed intact, everything was fine.
As expected, the items stored inside were very few, and there was nothing valuable at first glance.
Even so, He Zhiran did not intend to let go of everything here.
Although these things were said to belong to the treasury, Emperor Shunwu had never used these properties to benefit the people, and He Zhiran did not feel any pressure when looting them.
Emptying the treasury, which already had few items, again was something He Zhiran could do just by walking by.
Because they took away so many luminous pearls last time, there were only a few dim oil lamps left in the treasury today, but this did not affect their sight.
Mo Jiuye took He Zhiran to the entrance of the secret passage when they entered here last time. Sure enough, it had been destroyed.
He Zhiran looked at the original entrance of the secret passage and asked, "Husband, the secret passage is gone, what should I do?"
Mo Jiuye was not discouraged because the entrance to the secret passage was destroyed.
"Actually, the entrance to the secret passage is an escape route specially set up by the royal people."
For He Zhiran, it was not surprising that the royal family specially set up an escape route, because from the history she learned, many emperors were worried about unexpected situations and would find ways to create an escape route for themselves.
In other words, the route Mo Jiuye took her into the treasury was the escape tunnel dug out by a certain emperor of the Dashun Dynasty.
"Since it is an escape route, only the royal family should know about it. Why did you find it?"
This was also the question that Mo Jiuye was preparing to explain to her.
"When I was a child, I was just sent to the palace to be Nan Qi's companion. Because we were not familiar with each other when we first came here, and Nan Qi had an arrogant temper. After being bullied by him, I ran around alone and ended up here unknowingly. .
It was at that time that I accidentally discovered the entrance to the secret room. "
He Zhiran had speculated at the beginning as to why Mo Jiuye knew this secret passage. It turned out that he discovered it when he was a child.
With Mo Jiuye's loyal temperament, he would naturally not tell such a big secret.
When he was brought to empty the treasury, it must have been because he was extremely angry and was completely shattered by Emperor Shunwu's behavior.
While saying this, Mo Jiuye was not idle either.
Because neither he nor He Zhiran believed that Emperor Shunwu would have the courage to destroy the secret way for the royal family to escape.
At best, it's just a different entrance and exit.
Mo Jiuye knew the structure of the secret passage very well, especially the location of the entrance to the palace, which could not be separated from the treasury.
The two walked slowly inside the treasury, while carefully feeling the strangeness under their feet.
After walking for a while, He Zhiran pulled Mo Jiuye.
"Husband, I feel that the bricks under my feet are loose."
Hearing this, Mo Jiuye knelt down to check.
There were not very obvious gaps around the stone brick that He Zhiran was stepping on.
To confirm this guess, she stepped on it deliberately.
Sure enough, the stone bricks under her feet shook slightly.
He Zhiran quickly stepped aside, and Mo Jiuye took out a sharp dagger, aiming the tip at a gap. With a little force, the stone bricks tilted up.
A black hole appeared in front of their eyes.
Mo Jiuye sneered in his heart, Emperor Shunwu was really smart, did he think that the secret passage would not exist if he changed the entrance?
Of course, he would not take it lightly because he found the secret passage so quickly.
After all, the treasury has been looted once. If we don't want to come up with a countermeasure, this secret passage will really have no value.
He Zhiran also thought of this. Although they had found the entrance to the secret passage, no one went down rashly.
With a thought, she took out a quilt from the space and threw it down.
As soon as the quilt was thrown in, the two of them heard a swishing sound from below. It could be seen that Emperor Shunwu had sent people to install many hidden arrows here.
After a while, the sound gradually disappeared. He Zhiran was still worried and threw a quilt in another direction again.
The same operation was performed four times in a row, and after no sound of hidden arrows was found, Mo Jiuye took the lead and walked forward.
