Both of them were extremely careful along the way. If there was any disturbance, they would stop immediately for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
"What time is it?" Dorian asked in a low voice.
"It should be around 3:00 p.m.," Jijiu thought carefully and replied in a low voice.
"Well, be careful, the people below should have fallen asleep." Dolin nodded, and walked towards the backyard with Jijiu again.
After carefully bypassing the backyard guarded by a group of warriors, the two finally arrived at the dry well.
Dowling pointed at the mouth of the well, then jumped down, stopped drinking, looked around, and followed after confirming that no one was there.
"Shh, keep going straight from here to where I saw the group of guards. They are all guards here. We must be careful." Dowling pointed to the end of the passage and said to Jijiu.
Jijiu nodded, and the two of them pressed against the wall of the passage and slowly moved inside.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta..." Suddenly there were footsteps in the distance, and Jijiu who was walking in front stopped.
The two of them were suddenly panicked. They never expected that they would encounter someone as soon as they came down.
"What should I do?" Jijiu asked nervously, frowning.
"Don't panic, look up there." Dolin patted Qingjiu's shoulder and pointed to the top of his head with his finger.
It turns out that there is a groove above the top of the head, which is almost just deep enough for two people to stack on top of each other.
Jijiu nodded, the two of them stepped on the wall and rushed up, Jijiu at the top and Daolin at the bottom.
The two of them stretched out at the same time, but Jijiu was not tall enough and could not reach the edge of the groove, so his whole body was shot downwards.
In a moment of urgency, Dao Linping stretched out his hand and inserted his fingers into the wall, which prevented the two of them from falling.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and both of them held their breath and looked down nervously. Soon, five guards walked over chatting and laughing. This group of guards did not move toward the Amen above the passage. Only then did Dolin He breathed out a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a while, until the footsteps could no longer be heard, the two jumped down from the top groove.
"Are you okay?" Jijiu asked quietly while looking at Dolin's fingers.
"It's okay. I'm different now. Your weight is nothing." Looking at the somewhat guilty quitter, Dorian smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"It seems that those people just wanted to go out, so it seems that the dry well is the only entrance and exit." Jijiu turned to look in the direction he came from and said.
"Even if it is an entrance and exit, it may be the entrance and exit of these little pawns. What if the guy named Ye or the big fish I didn't see have their own entrance and exit?" Daolin rolled his eyes and said, quit drinking.
The two of them moved forward and touched again, not daring to make a sound. The originally not long passage took them a full stick of incense to walk through.
At this time, there were no guards in the huge cellar, but the candles were still lit.
"Jie Jiu, let's go separate ways and see if there are any clues on the books and papers on the table." Dolin whispered to Ji Jiu next to him.
Jijiu nodded, stooped to a table, reached out and took down a ledger from the table, and read it by the candlelight on the table.
Daolin ran to the table where Ye Guangxian had been sitting before and flipped through it. There was a pile of ledgers on the table. He opened each one and looked at it. Finally, he found what he wanted in the bottom ledger.
You don't know this, but you are shocked when you see it. This account book clearly records the movement of all city treasury funds in Shangzhou County over the years. Nearly 10 billion taels of silver have been removed by this group of people inside and outside.
"These people are so brave." Dolin cursed fiercely.
"Pa bang bang..." At this moment, there was a sudden burst of applause. Daolin and Jijiu were startled. They looked up and saw Ye Guangxian leading a group of masters looking at them.
"Oops... Your distinguished guest is here late at night. It's a long way to go." Ye Guangxian clapped his hands and said with a smile.
Daolin's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the people in front of him. Basically, they were all Transcendent Realm masters he had seen before.
"Stop your disgusting face, this thing can kill you." Dolin shook the account book in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Look, look, why did I leave such an important thing on the table?" Ye Guangxian said with a sarcastic look.
"If you like it, I can give you a few more copies, what do you think?" Ye Guangxian continued, his disdain clearly showing on his face.
"Humph, you are so arrogant, do you think you can defeat me?" Dolin said with a cold snort.
Ye Guangxian pretended to be frightened and looked back at the experts, then suddenly laughed.
"Daolin, if you don't look at your current situation, can't I be sure of you?" Ye Guangxian put away his smile and pointed at Daolin and shouted.
Daolin was shocked. This man really recognized him. He must have seen him when he went to see Qianxue off.
"Who gave you the courage to do this?" Dolin was not angry, but said in a calm tone.
"What to do? Did I do something?" Ye Guangxian asked pretending to be confused.
"Isn't it what you did to move the silver in the treasury of Shangzhou County without permission?" Daolin took out the account book again and asked.
"I did it, and what next? Is there any problem?" Ye Guangxian asked, tilting his head.
"It's good if you can admit it. Now follow me to the city lord's palace to take the initiative to explain the problem, and you can also be positioned to be punished and meritorious service." Daolin said with a smile.
"Hahahaha... Ridiculous, really ridiculous. Why are you so naive?" Ye Guangxian said with a laugh.
Dorian's smile gradually disappeared, and the hand holding the ledger made a clicking sound.
"Let alone the Lieyang Empire, no matter what empire you did, even a hundred heads wouldn't be enough to chop you off." Daolin said with a sneer.
"Then tell me, what have I done?" Ye Guangxian shrugged indifferently.
"Privately moving money from the city treasury, and there are a large number of guards here and eunuchs from Zhongdu City. What can you do? Can you tell me which one can't convict you?" Daolin patted the account book in his hand and said.
"Hehehe... Then I want to ask you, is this Shangzhou County under the jurisdiction of the emperor?"
"Does this city treasure belong to the emperor?"
"Eunuch, do the guards belong to the emperor?"
Ye Guangxian's three consecutive questions made Daolin stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and asked coldly: "Do you mean to say that these are what the emperor asked you to do?"
"Hmph... You are a member of the Shenwu Empire. No matter how much I say, you will teach our imperial guards how to do things." Ye Guangxian snorted and shouted arrogantly.
At this time, Jijiu came to stand next to Daolin and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid this is a big conspiracy, but we took one step in."
Daolin nodded secretly. If he followed Ye Guangxian's words at this time, he really couldn't touch Ye Guangxian.
"How's it going? Are you unable to answer? Since you can't answer, I have to ask you. You are a member of the Shenwu Empire and have been on the battlefield to fight against our army. You came to us late at night. What do the guards at the station want to do? With our account books in their hands, are they trying to steal our empire’s intelligence?" Ye Guangxian shouted with a proud look on his face.
