Chapter 198 Empty the Treasury
Chapter 198 Empty the Treasury
Xie Lin's figure flashed, and he went around to the back, knocking out the patrolling teams one by one from behind.
Their target is the national treasury, so as long as the imperial guards guarding the national treasury can be dealt with smoothly, no matter whether it is Xie Lin or Xia Chan, they will be spared.
It’s not that they are kind-hearted, it’s just that this matter has nothing to do with these guards.
They clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and will not be lenient towards their enemies. However, they will not kill those who have not offended or harmed them.
It's not good to commit too much killing, right?
Xie Lin dealt with a group of patrolling guards and moved them aside in the same way as before.
Continue to wait in the dark, wait for people to come, and continue to solve the problem.
Inside the treasury.
Xia Chan put on night vision goggles, used the master lock to open the three doors inside, and finally arrived at her destination.
A place where gold and silver are stored.
The treasury of Daqing was quite rich. In the basketball court-sized warehouse, layer upon layer of shelves were piled high with gold and silver ingots.
The dazzling light of gold and silver makes this storehouse inside the cave transparent.
Xia Chan took a deep breath and began to collect the gold and silver without delay.
The silver in the national treasury, whether it is gold ingots or silver ingots, is engraved with the word "national treasury".
But it doesn’t matter, the summer cicadas can go back and make a furnace to melt them.
When the time comes, the newly made gold and silver will be smooth and without any marks on them, and can be used in any way.
But then again, the money she confiscated from the private treasury of Prince of Jin Yuanzhao last time, as well as the money confiscated from those corrupt officials and bullies last year, is enough for her to spend in several lifetimes.
The silver in the national treasury may not be used at all.
But if she doesn’t need it, she can’t give it to Yuan Che, right?
Xia Chan snorted and continued to trot away to collect gold and silver.
At this moment, she is like a gold-eating beast.
Wherever the palm passed, the gold and silver disappeared, replaced by the clanging sound of gold and silver falling to the floor in the pedestrian street.
It's like the sound of coins falling when you grab dolls in a modern claw machine.
Because it's all money, the sound is particularly beautiful.
There was always a smile on Xia Chan's lips.
She collected most of the gold and silver in the national treasury and then went to collect the new grains that had just been delivered to the granary that year.
It’s not that she intended to leave some money for Yuan Che, but the space was too small to hold it.
She can't just fill it with gold and silver and not grains, right?
After harvesting a small portion of the grains, Xia Chan was already so tired that sweat appeared on his forehead.
In order to fit in as many things as possible, she even filled the room in her own space clinic with things.
The pedestrian street is occupied by gold, silver, jewelry and food.
There is no extra room in the heavy space.
Xia Chan sighed, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his head, turned around and quickly left the treasury.
When she came, the treasury was full, and when she left, it was one-third empty.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for having too small a space!
It is a great pity that we were not able to empty it.
Xia Chan came to the door of the last gate. She raised her hand and gently knocked on the heavy door.
The sound is not loud, and people with poor hearing will definitely not be able to hear it.
But Xie Lin has very good hearing.
When he heard the voice, his face lit up with joy and he quickly opened the door.
"Cicada cicada..."
Xia Chan raised her head and smiled sweetly.
"It's been a great harvest, go back to sleep."
"it is good."
Xie Lin hugged her, Xia Chan locked the door of the treasury again, nestled in his arms at ease, and left quickly.
Not long after they left, the guards who had fainted on the ground slowly woke up.
Everyone felt some pain at the back of their head.
He put his hand on the back of his head and sat up, looking at his colleagues beside him. They were stunned for a moment, but then they quickly reacted.
Something is wrong!
The treasury is in danger.
When the guards realized this, they stood up and ran towards the gate.
Then I found that the lock on the door was firmly locked and it didn't look like anyone had touched it?
How is this going?
Could it be that someone knocked them out on purpose, but the target was not the national treasury?
I don't think it's likely.
The Imperial Guards thought this matter was too bizarre and had to report it to the commander.
One person was sent to run to the rest dormitory in front, while the rest held their swords and guarded the treasury door tightly.
By the time the guards who went to report to the commander woke him up and brought him over, a quarter of an hour had passed.
This quarter of an hour was enough for Xie Lin and the others to run away.
When the commander of the Royal Guard heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
They slept exceptionally well tonight, and the person on duty was knocked unconscious. Although the door of the treasury was locked, it was possible that someone had unlocked it and left...
"Wait for me to report to the Prime Minister, and then I will take the key and come back to find out what's going on."
The commander of the Royal Guard ordered his men to guard the scene and to be 100% alert.
Even if a bird flies by, don't let it go easily.
After explaining all this, the commander hurried away to report the matter to the prime minister.
By the time they had collected four different keys, Xia Chan and the others had already left Chang'an.
.........
Outside Chang'an City, in the woods.
Wei Hua dozed off in the carriage.
His head was heaving and was about to hit the ground.
Seeing this, Xia Chan twitched the corners of his lips.
Wasn't it just leaving Chang'an City in the middle of the night? It wasn't like she didn't sleep, so how could she be more tired than her and Xie Lin who went to steal?
Yes, Xia Chan and Xie Lin returned to the inn, woke up Wei Hua who was still sleeping, and left Chang'an City together.
The national treasury was robbed in Chang'an City. Xia Chan would not be so arrogant as to continue staying in Chang'an City.
It’s better to leave.
It was less than twenty miles away from Chang'an City, and Wei Hua had bumped her head against the carriage several times, which made Xia Chan a little annoyed.
This is really...
"Cicada cicada..."
Xie Lin held her hand: "Shall I catch the bus?"
He made this suggestion not because he felt sorry for Wei Hua or anything.
He was afraid that Wei Hua would drive the carriage into the ditch if she drove it like that, and he and Chan Chan would be dragged into the ditch as well.
Xia Chan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"it is good."
Thinking about what happened tonight, she whispered again: "If you are tired, we can take a rest before leaving."
"It's okay. Let's get to Rongxian Wharf as soon as possible while there is no one on the road."
They had already agreed after returning from the treasury that they would go to the nearest dock after leaving Chang'an and leave by water.
The land is now divided up by the feudal lords. Although they are not worried about accidents, they do not want to deal with repeated inspections.
Fortunately, there is always a boat in Xia Chan’s space, so traveling by water is not a problem.
