Chapter 628 The Empty Treasury

The general guarding the treasury checked carefully again and was sure that the treasury was empty, so he looked at the group of people standing inside.

When he saw the face of the leader, he frowned and asked,

"Master Xu, why did you stun me and then steal Ku Yin?"

Grand Master Xu looked angry, when did he steal Ku Yin?He also just arrived.

Before Grand Master Xu could argue, a guard rushed to report,

"Report to General Tian, ​​there are several carriages parked not far from the treasury. After careful investigation, I found that these people who stole the treasury belonged to them."

Hearing this, General Tian was even more convinced that Grand Master Xu had stolen the silver in the treasury, and his tone was rather severe.

"If Taishi Xu returns all the silver in the national treasury, and the humble position is for the empress's face, it can be regarded as nothing has happened; Those who take the national treasury should be executed, not to mention Grand Master Xu stole the entire treasury's real gold and silver, I am afraid it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans."

Grand Master Xu became even more angry when he heard the words, and angrily reprimanded,

"It's a bunch of nonsense, I came here to transport the treasury silver under the order of the empress, I was ordered to come here, but you! One by one neglected their duties and threw the treasury silver clean, I haven't dealt with you yet As for the crime, you wronged me first, so we will go to the empress to make a judgment now."

Seeing Grand Master Xu's upright words, General Tian hesitated a little. He didn't know whether what Grand Master Xu said was true or not, but even if he came to pick up Ku Yin, it would not be Grand Master Xu's turn. Could it be that he was in a hurry?Arranged by the Empress?

Afterwards, General Tian continued to speak, "Since Grand Master Xu obeyed the imperial edict of the empress, I beg you to make the imperial edict clear to the humble officer. If it is true as what Grand Master Xu said, the inferior officer will definitely not embarrass you and let you go."

Grand Master Xu snorted with a sullen face, and then he wanted to take the Yizhi from his sleeve pocket, and he put the Yizhi into his sleeve pocket after he left the palace.

However, when he reached out to touch the air, Grand Master Xu's expression froze,

Then I remembered that I seemed to throw it out in a fit of anger,

Panicked in my heart, I hurriedly turned around and told the guards,

"When the official entered the warehouse, he accidentally left Yizhi outside, so hurry up and look for it."

Several guards heard the words and wanted to go out to look for them.

However, he was stopped by General Tian's men holding swords,

General Tian had just seen Grand Master Xu's panic, and was even more convinced that Grand Master Xu did not have any intentions, they were just trying to delay and escape,

Now that so many Kuyin have been lost, how dare General Tian let them go? He cannot afford such a heavy responsibility.

Grand Master Xu's guards saw the guards blocking their way with swords,

They also drew their swords,

The two sides faced each other with swords, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

Seeing this, Grand Master Xu said angrily, "General Tian, ​​what do you mean?"

General Tian was firm, "I hope Grand Master Xu will understand. This is the responsibility of the humble official. Before the matter is clarified, none of you can leave this place. The theft of the treasury is such a major matter that the humble official needs to report it quickly."

General Tian ignored Grand Master Xu's anger, and instead ordered the guards behind him to go outside the warehouse to find out if there was the imperial decree that Grand Master Xu had just mentioned.

The guards held torches and searched hard, not even letting go of the corners.

In the end, there was no trace of Yizhi.

Taishi Xu felt dissatisfied when he got this answer, he must have not searched for the people of General Tian,

General Tian thought that Grand Master Xu was delaying the time, maybe they still had backup, maybe the empress didn't know about it at all,

And Grand Master Xu has been asking to meet the empress,

How could General Tian agree, the empress is Taishi Xu's daughter, it is not clear who the empress is protecting at that time, I am afraid that he will be the one whose head will fall to the ground at that time.

General Tian no longer hesitated, and ordered them to be tied up first,

If there is foreign aid, they will be captured together, and they will be easy to deal with.

So General Tian ordered to capture these thieves who stole the treasury,

How could Grand Master Xu's guards be willing to be captured?

So the two men and horses fought together,

Grand Master Xu uttered harsh words angrily, which will surely make General Tian regret what he has done today. As the father of the empress, Grand Master Xu has always been respected by others. Those courtiers who met him were not polite.

How could he be as shameless as General Tian today?

Grand Master Xu's frequent utterances had annoyed General Tian a long time ago.

General Tian directly ordered all rebels to be beheaded.

Not long after, many corpses lay on the ground,

Not one of Grand Master Xu's guards was left,

Seeing this, Taishi Xu became a little afraid, and his attitude changed. He still asked to meet the empress.

While General Tian was hesitating, a guard rushed to report, "General Tian, ​​there are some people outside, all of whom have swords."

Taishi Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, presumably his son brought people here,

They had previously agreed to let him wait not far away. If they haven't sent the silver for a long time, something must have happened. How could they be careless about hiding the silver in the treasury?

The murderous intent in General Tian's eyes was evident when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Master Xu really had someone to back him up. Stealing the treasury was not counted.

How could General Tian tolerate such a thing?

No more thinking about it, just knocked Taishi Xu unconscious and threw it aside. If he said that he directly killed the empress's father, General Tian didn't have the guts, but the throw of the five big and three rough generals was enough for Xu Taishi's old arms and legs to bear Not to mention anything else, just the cracking sound of grand master Xu when he fell to the ground is enough for him to bear.

This is what Grand Master Xu's son saw when he rushed into the warehouse.

Then he wrestled with General Tian with scarlet eyes. His father was not in good health, how could he withstand such a hard beating, it could be said to be fatal to Commander Tian.

In the end, they were outnumbered, and Taishi Xu's son was defeated. General Tian ordered him to be tied up in the warehouse.

General Tian did not kill him, but asked them to return all the money from the treasury to the Xu family. The son of Grand Master Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Afterwards, General Tian just waited for the Xu family to return the money,

I also wrote a memorial and presented it to the lord wizard, and reported the matter in full in the memorial, and only waited for the lord wizard's reply.

The reason why General Tian was not in a hurry was because he once thought that the treasury's silver was in the Xu Mansion, and he only needed to recover it.

Because of the empress's relationship, they didn't dare to go to Xu's mansion to search rashly, so they could only wait patiently.

Today, the lord wizard is temporarily acting as the crown prince to supervise the country and handle the government affairs of the court. They have already received the order from the superior, so they can only submit the report to the lord wizard.

then,

General Tian waited patiently for the Lord Wizard's approval, and at the same time sent people to the Xu Mansion to urge the return of the treasury's silver.

The empress didn't know the news that Grand Master Xu had an accident, she had already packed her belongings, waited for Grand Master Xu to come to greet her, and then fled together.

Mu Fengyan, who had already returned to the courtyard at this time, looked at Yizhi who was brought back by Qingfeng on the table and chuckled softly.
