Half an hour later, Mu Qing and Xie Sancai came out, bringing with them a strong smell of blood.

Xie Si frowned and strode forward, staring at Xie San with his dark eyes: "Are you injured? What's the situation in the cave?"

Xie San shook his head: "It's just a minor injury. All the mechanisms set up in the cave have been destroyed by Mu Qing and I."

Mu Qing stood behind Xie San expressionlessly, waiting for Lu Fengyi's instructions.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to look at Xie San, then at the guard Mu Qing, and immediately noticed that their clothes were torn and oozing with bright red blood.

She frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "Did you bring any medicine with you?"

"Have."

Xie Si always carried medicine with him. Upon hearing this, he took out two small porcelain bottles from his sleeves and handed them to Xie San and Mu Qing: "These are top-quality healing medicines. You guys apply them first."

"Thank you."

Guards Xie San and Mu Qing took it at the same time.

The reason they were injured when they were exploring the cave earlier was because they did not have the key to open the stone door inside, which resulted in a steady stream of iron arrows shooting towards them once the mechanism in the cave was triggered.

Xie San and Mu Qing were unable to dodge in time and were scratched by the oncoming iron arrows.

No wonder this cave was covered so carelessly. It turned out that various traps had been set up in the cave a long time ago. If it weren't for their extraordinary skills and quick reactions, it would have been difficult for them to get out alive.

Seeing that the two had been given medicine, Lu Xiaoxiao felt relieved. "Xie San, did you see any gold in there?"

"Have."

Xie San returned the wound medicine in his hand to Xie Si and replied, "There is quite a lot of gold hidden inside. Madam, do you want to go in now?"

"Correct."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Mu Qing, Xie San, the two of you lead the way."

Mu Qing and Xie San had no objection to this.

"Let's go."

The group slowly entered the cave.

One by one, the fire sticks were lit.

Mu Qing and Xie San walked in front, Lu Xiaoxiao followed behind them, and Xie Si and the other ten secret guards walked behind.

The passage of the cave is not narrow. Once inside, three people can walk side by side.

The further you go, the wider the passage becomes.

Not long after, after walking for about two quarters of an hour, the first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a vault that was built like a cage.

Not only were the boxes on the ground filled with gold, but even the four walls were inlaid with pieces of gold.

Lu Xiaoxiao took a look and said, "Take down the gold on the wall first, and then move the boxes on the ground."

"Yes, ma'am."

Before he could finish his words, thirteen men simultaneously pulled out their daggers and pried the gold off the wall with quick and decisive movements.

Suddenly, the only sound in the entire cave was "bang bang bang".

Lu Xiaoxiao walked around the boxes of gold for a few times, and inexplicably felt that she was the most idle: "Mu Qing, lend me a dagger, I will help too!"

Mu Qing: "...Madam, there is no dagger."

Even if he really had a dagger on him, he wouldn't dare hand it over and let Lu Fengyi come to do the work!

Lu Fengyi is half his master!

"That's fine."

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, as she thought she could help.

In less than half an hour, the thirteen people had pried all the gold off the wall.

Then, they began to pile the gold on top of the wooden box, and two people carried it out...

By the time they had moved all the gold out of the cave, it was almost dusk and the city gates would soon be closed.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her sleeves, wiped the dust off her cheeks, and asked Mu Qing, "Did your husband tell you where to put this batch of gold?"

Mu Qing: "Don't worry, Madam. The master has already made arrangements."

As he spoke, Mu Qing gave Xie Si a look.

Xie Si understood, turned around and left.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

"Mu Qing, where is Xie Si going?"

"The master has arranged for a caravan to come here, and I asked Xie Si to go find them."

The caravan was found later. In fact, they were all Xie Xi's subordinates. Each of them was very capable, so they were temporarily assembled into a caravan, responsible for sending this batch of gold back to Shengjing, and then to the palace to hand it over to the emperor.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully: "So my husband has already thought of a solution, but I don't know it?"

Mu Qing subconsciously defended his master: "The master just hasn't had time to talk to the lady about this yet."

Mu Qing looked a little nervous, fearing that Lu Fengyi would misunderstand his master.

Lu Xiaoxiao was amused by him and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't get angry over such a small matter."

It doesn't matter if you don't tell her, as long as Your Highness does things beautifully!

Xie Si returned with the caravan.

Some of them were people Lu Xiaoxiao had met before in Luoyang Inn.

Xie Si came over and bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Madam, let them escort the gold back to Beijing."

"Just do whatever your husband tells you to do."

She didn't intend to interfere in the matter since it was none of her business anyway.

"Yes!"

Xie Si responded, and then he asked the caravan members to come and move the boxes into the carriage above.

There are hundreds of boxes here, and it would take ten carriages to load them all.

Xie Si took off the token hanging on his waist, turned around and handed it to one of the other ten secret guards.

"Second brother, I'm giving you the token to enter the palace. Be careful on the road and don't let others find out anything."

As he said that, Xie Si raised his hand and patted Xie Er on the shoulder: "Have a safe journey."

Xie Er nodded: "Okay."

In addition to the caravan, the ten secret guards who followed the caravan out of the city will also go back with the caravan. However, they will still hide in the dark on the way back. They will only take action once the caravan encounters any difficult problems.

Seeing the caravan gradually go away, Lu Xiaoxiao slowly withdrew his gaze and waved to Mu Qing, "Let's go, let's go back to the city."

……

Inside the city.

Bai Qiuyuan and Liang Shenlin have learned a lot from those officials.

The higher the position and the more powerful one is, the more one knows how to cherish life.

Jiangning Governor Jiang Pei'an was the first one willing to speak up and carry the governor Wei'an on his back.

Similarly, Jiang Pei'an was also the first person forced by Liang Shenlin to sign a divorce agreement and a transfer agreement of Jiang family property.

After signing, Jiang Pei'an was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

Liang Shenlin said that the opponent was too weak and could not withstand even the slightest setback.

However, Jiang Pei'an's words made many officials willing to speak out and accuse Shi Weian, saying that they had evidence hidden in their homes that was enough to prove that Shi Weian had accepted bribes...

It only took Bai Qiuyuan and Liang Shenlin an hour to successfully complete the task assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Only on Xie Xi's side, the interrogation of Steward Shi was extremely unsuccessful.

At first, Steward Shi was not willing to cooperate at all. He cried out for injustice and said that he was being tortured into confessing and he refused to accept it.

In the end, it was Xie Xi who took ruthless action to pry open Butler Shi's mouth.

It turned out that Butler Shi was brought back by Shi Weian from the State of Yan.

This time, Shi Weian's evidence was finally complete.

No one can save him.
