My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

"Everyone, please stay where you are and don't move around!"

Countless black-clad guards wearing dark armor rushed into the inner courtyard and guarded each door.

Some of the servants in the courtyard huddled together under the eaves and beside the flower beds, shivering. Some were scurrying around like headless flies.

Su Yunwan found a crimson brocade cloak and put it on her body before walking out of the dormitory.

"Are you Princess Qin?" A group of black-clad guards strode up to her and asked solemnly.

"Exactly."

"Hurry and gather in the front hall!"

Su Yunwan walked through many courtyards and verandas, and it took a full quarter of an hour before he arrived at the upper hall of the palace's front yard.

At this time, many people had gathered in the hall. The deputy commander of Wuyiwei was leaning on the seat, holding a cup of green glaze tea cup in his left hand, and picking the tea lid with his right hand.

The Wu Yiwei of the dynasty was responsible for supervising all officials. They can bypass the Third Division and arrest interrogation and judgment officials at will. Officials who fall into the hands of the Wuyiwei will lose several layers of skin even if they die.

"May I ask Mr. Xie, what do you mean by this?" Qin Junxian, Qin Junxian's younger brother, held back his shock and anger and asked with his hands raised.

Xie Chao took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup, "I have come here on an errand to carry out errands. Are all the royal family members here?"

"Reporting to your lord, Mrs. Qin and some of the female relatives have not arrived yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "I'm here!"

Qin's mother walked into the hall surrounded by many female relatives, "Thank you, Sir, I, the third generation prince of the Qin family, still enshrine the iron book of alchemy in the ancestral hall, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"

Xie Chao twitched the corner of his mouth, and when he saw the people gathered, he took out the yellow scroll from his arms, "The imperial edict has arrived! The family members of Prince Qin's Mansion kneel down to listen to the edict!"

Everyone in the Qin Mansion knelt down.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Qin Junyi was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was dismissed from his post and investigated. The property of the Prince of Qin was confiscated, and all his relatives were taken into the Tingwei Mansion to await their execution. I appreciate this!"

Qin's mother wept and cried out: "My grandson protects the country and the people, he is loyal and loyal, how can he collaborate with the enemy and treason?"

Other relatives also cried and complained. Qin Junxian couldn't help being frightened and angry, and shouted ferociously: "Who is plotting against my elder brother? I will kill him!"

"How outrageous!" Xie Chao, who knew very well who was behind the scenes, tightened his scalp and shouted sternly, "You haven't accepted the order to thank me. Are you trying to resist the order?"

Qin's mother breathed rapidly and raised her hands tremblingly: "I...accept the order!"

Xie Chao snorted coldly, handed over the imperial edict, and then shouted: "Come on, get on the shackles!"

The black-clad guards waiting outside the hall took shackles to the door and put them on the necks of the prince's men one by one.

The shackles weighing forty or fifty kilograms weighed down their upper bodies, causing them to stagger to their feet in a cold sweat.

Xie Chao then said to the captain beside him: "Jiang Lieutenant, you lead the team to collect the gold and silver jewelry from everyone, and the rest of the people will split up and check the accounts by room."

"Yes!" Lieutenant Jiang took the order and went out to convey the order. The guards in black clothes kicked open the middle door and swarmed in.

Captain Jiang led a dozen people to collect property and jewelry.

Suddenly, a woman's screams and pleas sounded outside the hall.

Su Yunwan followed the call and saw Captain Jiang who had received the order grinning ferociously, hugging an outstandingly beautiful maid and moving his hands, "I suspect you have money hidden on your body, so naturally I have to search it carefully, hahaha!"

He laughed wildly, not caring about the blue sky and the sun, and did evil things.

"Stop!" Qin's mother was furious and wanted to go out to stop him, but she was unable to do so.

Qin Junxian also rushed out, but was blocked by the guards in black clothes in the hall.

Su Yunwan had already picked up the blue and white porcelain gourd vase on the side, strode out of the door, and hit the man on the back hard.

Colonel Jiang hissed in pain and let go, causing the vase to shatter to the ground. The maid who broke free from the restraint rolled and crawled to the ground and hid among the servants, hugging together with the other maids.

The female relatives of the palace were all trembling with fear. They didn't expect this group of people to be so despicable. Aren't they afraid that the Qin family would clear their grievances?

"The Qin family has not yet been finally convicted. Do you want to make the judgment on behalf of the Holy One?" Su Yunwan asked coldly.

The man had heard such accusations many times and was not afraid. Instead, he looked at her with lewd eyes and commented: "Tsk, tsk, she looks pretty, but the thorns are too piercing."

"How dare you be disrespectful to the princess!" Several palace guards immediately stepped forward and protected Su Yunwan tightly behind them.

"Princess? Qin Junyi is so beautiful and blessed. Even when he is about to die, he can still hold a beautiful woman in his arms. It's a pity that he will die soon!"

The guards drew their swords at each other angrily, hoping to fight to the death.

The other black-clad guards immediately displayed their weapons, forming a confrontation, and the war was about to break out.

Su Yunwan stared at Captain Jiang as if he were a dead man. If he tried to be reckless again, she would send him to the West immediately!

"Thank you, sir! Don't bully others too much!" Qin Junxian, who was in the hall, gritted his teeth with hatred.

Xie Chao knew that most of the guards in the palace were veterans, and there was no benefit in fighting to the death. He glanced at Colonel Jiang and said coldly: "What are you still doing? Are you done with your work?"

Then he warned everyone: "Hand over your things voluntarily, otherwise don't blame them for searching you!"

All the Wuyiwei immediately put away their swords and received training, and continued to collect items.

The female relatives did not dare to hesitate anymore, and took the initiative to take off all the jewelry on their heads and face, and put them together with the brocade bag into the copper plate held by the black-clothed guard.

Half an hour later, Wu Yiwei returned to the front yard carrying several wooden boxes.

"Sir, this is all." A guard in black clothes presented the book.

Xie Chao opened it and checked, his face getting darker and darker, and finally he closed it with a snap, "Is this all you found in Nuo Da's palace?"

"Returning to your lord, I've been searching again and again, and it's true that this is all we have."

Xie Chao knew that most of the Qin family's money was in the northwest, but he didn't believe that the palace was so shabby, even inferior to the wealth of a ninth-grade Zhima official.

He ordered: "Captain Jiang, take people to search again, and pay attention to the secret compartments and secret rooms."

Captain Jiang obeyed his leader's orders and rushed towards the inner courtyard with a dozen or so guards in black clothes. "Everyone split up and search!"

After his subordinates dispersed, Lieutenant Jiang looked around. His attention was attracted by the flash of light on the other side of the rockery. He suddenly became suspicious and cautiously walked over to investigate.

Jiang Xiaowei also didn't believe that the palace only had such a small amount of property. It must have been moved to a certain corner, and the rockery cave was a good place to hide the treasure.

He circled around the perimeter first and didn't see anyone ambushing him, so he leaned down and got into the hole.

As soon as he entered the cave, there was a faint rustling sound. Captain Jiang's eyes froze and he looked around, but found nothing unusual.

A strong sense of crisis hit his heart, and he hurriedly evacuated towards the entrance of the cave.

However, the stone at the entrance of the cave suddenly broke and rolled down, blocking the way out.

Falling into darkness, Lieutenant Jiang was dripping with cold sweat, feeling like he was on the verge of death.

He used his abilities to the extreme, constantly dodging falling rocks above his head, but once he tripped over a rock on the ground, he met his end.

"Ah!" The shrill cry of pain became the accompaniment of the collapse of the entire rockery, resounding throughout the sky.
