Start in exile and use the space to pamper the yandere regent.

Looking at the empty private treasury, Emperor Qi Hui was stunned. It was not until Concubine Xiao Shu beside him let out a slight exclamation that he finally recovered and realized that all this was not a dream.

The private treasury was really emptied out!

"Check! Dig three feet into the ground for me to check!" Emperor Qi Hui's face turned livid, and he calmed down a little for a moment. Then he immediately motioned to Yu Huai'an, the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs, who was already frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Order Zhang Qing to immediately take a thousand guards to the household department! Make sure to keep the household department under my watch!"

Unfortunately, it was still too late when Zhang Qing and a thousand guards rushed to the large bank where the money was stored in the Ministry of Revenue.

In the large bank of the Ministry of Revenue, all the money accumulated over the years in Dongqi is stored. Regardless of the fact that various tax revenues are nearly 20 million taels of silver each year, the expenses cannot support all kinds of expenses, especially in recent years, which have been in deficit every year. There is less than five million taels left in the large bank of the household department.

With just such a small amount of money, it will last for more than half a year...

As a result, everyone was served in one fell swoop?

Not to mention that Emperor Qi Hui was furious, but everyone present had cold sweat running down their spines.

At this moment, Emperor Qi Hui didn't know that the divine thief who made him hate him so much that he wished he could not be executed in Ling Chi had only left half a stick of incense in the underground palace of Zichen Palace earlier than him. Then before leaving the palace, he "happened" to pass by the Guangling Palace next door. He went in for a walk and then went straight to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Concubine Xiao Shu was afraid that Emperor Qi Hui would be angry, so she gently caressed Emperor Qi Hui's chest with her soft and boneless jade hands, hoping to help him calm down. However, he didn't want to be impatiently thrown away by Emperor Qi Hui, and then with a glance, he was sent directly back to Guangling Palace.

Concubine Xiao Shu returned to Guangling Palace with a sigh in her heart. She was neither up nor down, but she never dreamed that she had left for only half an hour at most. Why was her, her, her palace empty?

Not even the most ordinary candlestick was left for her, and it was pitch black.

This, this, this...

Concubine Xiao Shu didn't care about the others and hurried to the inner room. As expected, the things originally placed on the bed by the window were gone. Then he opened the square wooden board and found the brocade box stored inside...

Concubine Xiao Shu's vision went dark, and if it weren't for the quick eyesight and quick hands of the maid behind her, she might have fainted and fallen to the ground.

It's over, it's over...

Concubine Xiao Shu completely lost consciousness and fainted.

In fact, this night, the palace and the Ministry of Household Affairs were not the only places where properties were mysteriously lost.

Several powerful families living in Dongcheng District seemed to be thinking about them. The worst thing here is Xu Cifu's Mansion.

It is said that not only the study was turned upside down. Just before dawn, the warehouse in the front yard and a wing of Linghua Courtyard where the concubine and the second young lady lived were inexplicably caught on fire.

When the servants and maids who were watching the night were alerted, they rushed to put out the fire. Most of the property inside had been destroyed, and even the house was burned down to only the pillars.

It's really a bit tragic.

In the next few days, there were many more messages intermittently. In addition to the stolen wine from the Wu family in the Imperial Academy, there was also the imperial guard commanding the Xiao Mansion, which was responsible for escorting thousands of people from Zhen Guogong's Mansion and exiled them to Xiao Jinren's Mansion three thousand miles northwest.

As well as Lin Fu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the old master's house, the Yin of the capital, the official minister's house, the military minister's house... all these people, real and fake, have been visited by that damn thief almost in the past few days.
