I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

A moment later, the Minister of Revenue Chai Yuanyu, with a pale face and sweat all over his face, stumbled in following the young eunuch.

"Plop~~"

Chai Yuanyu knelt down from the doorway and slid to the front of Emperor Wu of Liang, crying bitterly,

"Your Majesty, the treasury -- the treasury has been emptied."

God knows how such a horrific thing could happen.

Not long after the Yin hour arrived, he changed his clothes with the help of his servant and prepared to attend the morning court.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he was dumbfounded. The main hall was empty.

Before he could come to his senses, servants came hurriedly to report that everything in the mansion had been robbed.

The warehouse was emptied clean, not even a quilt was left.

Fortunately it is summer now, otherwise many people in the mansion would have frozen to death.

When he heard that there was a theft in his mansion, he immediately sent someone to report the case to the Dali Temple.

As a result, no one from the Dali Temple came for a long time. When he sent his servants to the Dali Temple to inquire.

The servant came back and reported that the previous servant was queuing up at the gate of Dali Temple to report a case.

The servants of various noble families lined up in a long queue.

He panicked at the time and immediately took people to the treasury to check.

result......

Chai Yuanyu lay on the ground, not daring to breathe. This was a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.

“Hmm~~!?”

Emperor Wu of Liang gritted his teeth and roared like a wild beast.

His face was gloomy, his eyes were wide open, and he stretched out his hand in anger towards the table, but ended up grabbing nothing.

Emperor Wu of Liang clenched his fist and punched down hard, but again he hit nothing.

Not to mention a table, there isn't even a chair to sit on.

Emperor Wu of Liang instantly became furious and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Bold!!"

When Yu Huaqian saw Emperor Wu of Liang's actions, he pulled his lips awkwardly and lowered his head even more.

After serving Emperor Wu of Liang for so long, he would smash the cup every time the emperor got angry.

But right now there was not even a cup in the entire palace, so there was nothing to throw even if he wanted to.

All that was left of the imperial kitchen was a few large holes on the stove, not even a single kitchen knife was left.

Yu Huaqian glanced at Emperor Wu of Liang's cracked lips and dared not even breathe, for fear of being implicated.

Fortunately, he had been serving the emperor last night, otherwise...

Chai Yuanyu was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from his forehead.

He lowered his head and looked at Emperor Wu of Liang's feet, which were only wearing socks, walking back and forth in front of him.

Emperor Wu of Liang frowned tightly and stamped his feet back and forth in anger.

He really couldn't figure out who could have done this to such an extent, could it be...

Emperor Wu of Liang pursed his lips tightly, staring at Chai Yuanyu who was trembling on the ground, his eyes full of ice.

"How did you know the treasury was stolen?"

During the morning court session, Chai Yuanyu actually remembered to check the national treasury.

Who is a good person? Go to count the warehouse early in the morning.

There must be something fishy about this matter.

When Chai Yuanyu heard the emperor's suspicious tone, he suddenly looked up at him, his throat went dry, tears welled up unconsciously, and he hurriedly explained with a sob,

"Your Majesty, just after the hour of Yin, I washed up and went out to attend the morning court, only to find that --- I found that the main hall had been completely robbed."

As Chai Yuanyu spoke, he glanced at Emperor Wu of Liang. He was afraid that Emperor Wu of Liang would not believe such a thing. After all, who would steal such heavy tables, chairs and benches?

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Liang did not stop, he hurriedly continued,

"Before I could give orders to investigate, servants from various courtyards in the mansion suddenly came to report that everything in the mansion had been robbed. The warehouses in my mansion and my wife's private vaults were all stolen."

"I immediately sent a servant to the Dali Temple to report the case, but everyone who went to the Dali Temple to report the case had to queue up. All the noble families in the capital were robbed."

"When I heard this, I panicked and immediately took people to the treasury to check. The result was----"

"Woo woo --- the man who was guarding the treasury last night, I have already ordered people to arrest him and he is being interrogated!"

"This humble official deserves death!"

Chai Yuanyu lay on the ground and cried bitterly.

Why should he die? He was sleeping soundly at home. Who knew that a damn thief came from somewhere and dared to steal from the national treasury.

He was so unlucky. Disaster struck him while he was sleeping at home.

"what!!"

When Emperor Wu of Liang heard that all the noble families in the capital had been robbed, he was so angry that he laughed.

This traitor really treats everyone equally. There is nothing in the capital that he doesn't steal.

Being able to commit such a shocking crime overnight, he had to suspect that someone in the court was colluding with foreign thieves.

After all, even if things in the national treasury were stolen, no one would dare to use them.

Then these things can only flow to other countries.

"You bold traitor, I will kill all of his clan and draw his body into five pieces!"

"Chai Yuanyu, immediately take people to seal the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."

"I will dig deep into the ground to catch the perpetrators red-handed!"

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Chai Yuanyu with a gloomy expression, and a cold light of anger flashed in his black eyes.

Now is not the time to deal with these ministers. Whoever is a spy will be exposed eventually.

The most important thing now is to recover the things in the national treasury.

It is impossible to move so many things out of the capital all at once.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chai Yuanyu nodded his head, bent his waist, stood up and stepped back repeatedly. When he reached the door, he turned around and ran out quickly.

Yu Huaqian looked at the time, lowered his voice, and stepped forward to remind him courageously,

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

When Emperor Wu of Liang heard that he was going to attend the morning court, he suddenly remembered that the imperial seal was still hidden in the secret compartment of the handle of the dragon throne in the Golden Palace, and he suddenly felt a little panicked.

There is nothing in the Golden Palace. The traitor wouldn't think of looting it, right?

The more Emperor Wu of Liang thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he strode towards the Golden Throne Hall.

Yu Huaqian was slightly stunned, then quickly trotted after him.

At this time, all the court officials who had been waiting in the Golden Palace had sad faces.

After the ministers communicated with each other, they found that the situation of each family was the same. Those who were lucky enough to have hidden silver on them could still have some left, while those who were unlucky did not even have a piece of clothing to wear to court.

There were more than ten civil and military officials in the court who came to court in their pajamas.

Normally, one would be punished for attending court in such an untidy manner, but the whole capital was robbed, so they did not come to the morning court for fear of being accused of a crime by others, and did not care whether they would be punished or not.

The national treasury was stolen. Such a big thing happened, and everyone else came to court, but they didn't. It must be because they are guilty.

There is no guarantee that Emperor Wu of Liang would not get so angry that he would directly convict them.

The ministers were whispering about the miserable conditions in the palace, each one trying to be more miserable than the other, and the court was as noisy as a vegetable market.

suddenly!

"Oh!"

The loud sound of a door opening shocked the ministers so much that they immediately shut their mouths.

The ministers immediately took their positions, lowered their heads, and knelt down.

Just by hearing the sound of the door opening, one could tell how angry Emperor Wu of Liang was, and the ministers dared not say anything more.

Their little property is not even enough to compare with the national treasury.

This was the first time that the national treasury was robbed since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty. It was a great shame and humiliation.

Emperor Wu of Liang pushed open the door and the first thing he did was look towards the dragon throne.

Looking at the empty throne, his eyes widened in disbelief, his body trembling as if his soul had been sucked out.
