The brother and sister chatted and joked all the way, and soon arrived at the Cao family's treasury.

The fat man was completely absorbed in the alluring illusion, as happy as a husky gnawing on a meaty bone. If it weren't for his truly bloated figure, which made him stuck in the chair and unable to move, he would probably have already made a complete mess and become an eyesore.

There were also two squads of soldiers guarding the gate of the treasury.

Seeing that the fat man had brought so many guards and masked men, two of the captains stepped forward, clasped their hands in salute, and said, "Second Master, what brings you here...?!"

The fat man's obese body was slightly turned to the side, and his thick, round arms were wrapped around him. But he was so fat that no one except himself could tell that he was holding a "beauty in his arms".

"Open the treasury," the fat man said impatiently.

"Huh?" The two captains were stunned: "Second Master, you have the First Master's written order..."

In an illusion unseen by others.

A stunningly beautiful woman poked the fat man's face and sneered, "Tsk, looks like I don't have much of a status at home, can't even tame a dog."

The fat man, feeling humiliated by the beauty's ridicule, roared in fury, "Screw you! My word doesn't count anymore! If you keep dawdling and make me lose face, believe me, I'll make your whole family disappear from this world right now!"

The Cao family was headed by the eldest son, Cao Yunheng, but the eldest son and the second son were very close brothers, and the second son usually kept his word.

The two captains dared not disobey and could only bow their heads and yield, ordering their men to open the treasury.

"Second Master, we'll go in now. Please wait outside for a moment," Ji Fengyao said to the fat man with a smile and a serious expression.

The two captains then looked up and took a serious look at Ji Fengyao and the others. Their gazes fell on the white armbands with the words "Tu" and "Bandit" on their arms, and they were speechless for a long time.

Second Master, are you sure this is really okay?

But at this moment, Cao Erpang was only concerned with being stuck in the chair, lewdly grinning at the air as if no one else was around, and he couldn't see the questioning looks on the faces of the two captains.

Ji Fengyao, along with Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Wu Shang, Wu Zhong, and others, filed in and entered the treasury. They closed the door from the inside with smiles on their faces.

"Second Master, they, this..." The two captains felt increasingly uneasy.

If your master orders you to take something and your master is present, you can just take it openly and honestly. Why bother closing the door?

When the hundreds of soldiers saw that Cao Erpang was still spewing vulgarities and laughing like a madman, they also sensed something strange about him.

Several of the leading captains secretly sent men to find Cao Yunheng to come back and take charge of the overall situation, while the others remained at the entrance of the treasury to guard Ji Fengyao and the others inside, in order to prevent them from escaping.

Although the Cao family's treasury wasn't as extravagant as the Crown Prince's or the Chen family's secret treasury, it was still comparable to the Chen family's treasury. Moreover, half of the treasures inside had already been packed and boxed, indicating that they were being moved on orders from above.

Ji Fengyao could roughly guess that the Crown Prince's Palace was in dire need of money.

If she intercepts this batch of silver again, the Crown Prince will probably cry his eyes out.

"Heh, crying until blind is too merciful. It would be better to cry until death." Ji Fengyao clenched her small fist, revealing a wicked smile. She casually pointed to a dozen or so guards and said, "Take off the white armbands on your arms and line up in a row at the door; then go out from the roof and wait for us on the roof."

"yes!"

The dozen or so guards breathed a sigh of relief and quickly removed the white armbands from their arms. After neatly placing the armbands as instructed, the guards climbed up the beams, quietly lifted the roof tiles, and filed out onto the roof.
