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

The palace, the imperial study.

In the past, all the furnishings in the house, including the dragon chair and throne, desks and desks, bookshelves, incense burners and vases, were missing.

The new emperor sat on a temporary armchair. In front of him, the general manager of the palace, Eunuch Gao, knelt on the ground and tremblingly reported the loss last night: "...the jade seal that passed down the country is also missing. "

After hearing this, the new emperor's gloomy face turned blue and purple, and the anger in his heart turned into strength in his hands, and he slapped the armrest of the chair hard.

The armrest didn't move at all, but the man grimaced in pain and gasped, quickly putting his palm to his mouth and whining.

Eunuch Gao lowered his body lower and lower, almost lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all.

"Hurry up and search! Dig three feet into the ground to find the jade seal passed down to the country!"

"promise."

Eunuch Gao quickly stepped back to dispatch his men. Xintei was the only one left in the house.

He looked at the empty study room, feeling great fear in his heart.

The jade seal, the emperor's jade seal, represents the emperor's authority and is used to seal various edicts and documents.

There were six types of jade seals in the current dynasty, and the Chuanguo jade seal was the most special one. It was not used to process various official documents, but was a symbol of the orthodox dynasty, representing the recognition of heaven and earth.

If the emperor does not hold the imperial seal, it means that he is not recognized by heaven and earth and cannot represent the will of heaven and rule the world.

However, the divine right of kings is a foolish slogan of the royal family to the outside world. Naturally, the new emperor does not believe it. However, he has been in the wrong position to begin with. Now that the imperial seal has been lost, he is worried that someone will take this opportunity to attack him and pull him down from the dragon throne.

Just when he was confused, Eunuch Gao entered the room again and knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao is missing."

"What's going on?!" The new emperor suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at the person on the ground.

Eunuch Gao lamented: "The Prime Minister's Office has come to report that the Prime Minister disappeared mysteriously from his dormitory last night. No one is found alive, and no body is found dead."

The new emperor's body trembled violently, unable to stand upright, and fell down on the armchair.

The opponent's methods are so mysterious and unpredictable, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

Later, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance brought news that the treasury had been stolen. He was already used to it and had no time to take care of it.

The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of the imperial seal.

However, the entire palace and the capital were searched over and over, but there was still no trace of the imperial seal.

With Qin Junyi's deliberate guidance, the new emperor vigorously investigated all the people trained by the royal family, and as expected, he found out from the masters of the imperial family a nail buried by the Queen Mother of Li County.

This discovery made the new emperor place the entire theft of the palace, treasury, and the disappearance of Prime Minister Xiao on Prince Li.

But learning that the merchant's goods were missing confused Xintei.

According to the king's secret behavior, he would just steal the palace and treasury, leaving nothing behind.

But the merchant's goods were missing, and the other party not only left a full amount of silver in exchange for equal value, but also left part of the goods.

According to the government's judgment, the amount of these goods was exactly the amount recorded on the order form at the on-site office.

Obviously, the other party deliberately left these goods for the merchant to deliver the order to avoid high compensation for breach of contract.

The common people who learned about this incident called him a knight robber and praised him.

However, the new emperor did not believe that the person behind this had anything to do with Prince Li. These missing goods covered all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, as well as salt and iron that were authorized to be sold exclusively under the control.

Who would need such a large quantity and variety of supplies if not for the needs of the rebellion?

Several major disappearance cases are intertwined, making the situation even more confusing.

The new emperor dispatched troops and generals, aiming directly at Prince Li.

After King Li, who was thousands of miles away, learned about the news from the capital, he also raised a flag in his fiefdom to rebel and proclaimed himself king.

Ten years of planning finally saw the light of day.

In the near future, the two sides started a protracted war, which is a story for another time.

After a day and night of severe interrogation, Prime Minister Xiao finally revealed the whole story of the Qin family's false accusation, but all the evidence had been cleared away by the new emperor, leaving no physical evidence.

Qin Junyi personally beheaded Prime Minister Xiao and sent him to the palace alone.

The reason why he didn't let Su Yunwan go with him was that he didn't want the bloody smell to make her uncomfortable, and he also wanted her to have a good rest.

He has been busy day and night these days, and he is almost heartbroken.

In his spare time, he often thinks: It would be great if he also had meson space, Wanwan wouldn't have to work so hard.

It is impossible not to regret that I have sensed the magnificence and mystery of the Five Elements spiritual energy, but cannot practice the Five Elements.

But Qin Junyi is sober and rational, and understands the principle of biting off more than you can chew. He can have Wanwan because he has been gifted by God, so he can no longer be greedy.

It was night, in the dark palace, a spherical object suddenly fell from the roof, and rolled beside the dragon bed.

The new emperor was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed, "Here comes an assassin, escorting him!"

A large group of imperial guards who were guarding outside the palace rushed into the dormitory and pushed back the hair on the ground. The new emperor looked into Prime Minister Xiao's eyes, shouted and fainted.

"Quickly, please call the doctor..."

The new emperor was so frightened that he became seriously ill. He had trouble sleeping and eating every day. He always felt that there was a skilled assassin hiding in the darkness, with a sword pointed at his head.

The next day, Su Yunwan and Qin Junyi went to the treasure place provided by Prime Minister Xiao and found 10 taels of gold and 300 million taels of buried silver, which was several times more than the royal private treasury and the national treasury combined.

In addition, the two men also collected various evidence of Prime Minister Xiao's abuse of power, taking credit, forming cliques, and dereliction of duty, etc., and sent them to his political opponents together with his escaping confession.

Soon, Prime Minister Xiao's family and his accomplices followed in the footsteps of the Su family, confiscating their property and imprisoning them.

For some reason, the emperor ordered all the remaining officials and family members to be sent to Youzhou for confinement, except for the most heinous person, Qiu Houwen, who was beheaded.

At this time, everyone in the Su family had already set off first, traveling in prison cars and chasing the exile team led by Zhong Wei as quickly as possible.

On the day when the government publicly sold the servants of the Su family, Su Yunwan asked Feng Jingming to buy several slaves and maids. All of them were loyal to her mother or to her in the past.

Feng Jingming gave them the deed of betrayal and allowed them to regain their freedom.

Some smart slaves thought of Su Yunwan and did not want to sell themselves, so they asked Feng Jingming to take them to Youzhou to continue serving the eldest lady.

However, Feng Jingming had already been ordered not to acknowledge his relationship with Su Yunwan and refused directly.

Once the matter was over, Su Yunwan and Qin Junyi said goodbye to Feng Jingming and returned to the exile team.

It was another dark night at that time, and the two of them appeared at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, but there was no one on guard.

There were faint sounds of killing and begging for mercy in the forest.

In the direction of Heifeng Village, thick smoke was everywhere and flames shot into the sky.
