Chapter 88: Raiding the National Treasury, Market Upgrade
After dinner, Su Qian tidied up and waited quietly for the arrival of midnight!
It’s a dark and windy night, perfect for murder!
Bah!
It’s the night of raiding the treasury!
Su Qian planned to go to the Dongli Palace first to rob the national treasury, causing chaos in the palace. After that, the Second Prince would be led to the palace, and she would be able to find the location of the dungeon in the Second Prince's mansion!
Su Qian changed into a black nightgown and wore a black cloth mask on his face.
Now that she has reached the fifth level of mental skills, she can climb over eaves and walk on walls without any problem!
Also, when they were at sea before, the six-pointed starfish had taught her how to control water to kill people!
It’s just that the method is a bit cruel. Su Qian feels that if it won’t help, it’s better not to use it!
Taking a deep breath, Su Qian climbed up the cliffs and soon arrived at the palace of Dongli Kingdom.
The city wall is not very high, only about six feet high, and is built with green rocks.
Su Qian jumped up, stepped on the protrusions of the rocks, and quickly jumped onto the city wall.
The wall she chose was the most remote corner, and there was no palace guards guarding it.
Standing on the city wall, she looked at several of the most heavily defended places, then she randomly chose a direction and jumped there!
Soon, she jumped onto the roof of a magnificent palace and lifted a tile. Su Qian wanted to see what was underneath.
As a result, I saw an old man lying on the upper half of a bright yellow dragon bed.
The old man's face was pale, his hands were placed on the quilt, and he looked to the side quietly.
Soon, a beautiful woman in a pink palace dress appeared, holding a brocade box in her hand. She sat down beside the old man's couch and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that the Second Prince found for you. If you take it, you will be able to stay healthy again!"
"Well, Qi'er is thoughtful!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and watched the beauty open the brocade box and take out a grape-sized pill from it.
Afterwards, Su Qian watched the pill go down the old man's throat.
Nine-transformation golden elixir?
Haha, is this the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill?
Looking at the old man's unresponsive body, Su Qian felt a little amused. He wondered if this old man was made by some fake Taoist priest using mercury and cinnabar.
If the old emperor eats too much of this stuff, his life will be in danger. Isn't it better to lose weight than before?
Su Qian didn't care about that and jumped directly to another place with more guards.
Since ancient times, there have been too many cases of royal families having no father and son relationships, killing their fathers and mothers, and slaughtering their brothers and sisters!
Su Qian was not surprised.
Soon, Su Qian found the treasure house in another place. The building was heavily guarded and had the words "Treasure Pavilion" written on it.
Going around to the roof of the Treasure House, Su Qian lifted the tiles and found that the room was filled with many large boxes.
After peeling off two more pieces, Su Qian took a deep breath and jumped down.
After opening it, there were boxes of gold and silver bars. I picked up one and checked it, and found the words "Dongli Treasury" printed on the bottom.
Looking at hundreds of boxes of gold and silver, Su Qian immediately chose to put half of them on the shelves!
Soon, her account balance became 14.5 million silver.
Su Qian was amazed. This Dongli Kingdom was quite wealthy. Just half of the national treasury was worth several million taels.
At this moment, the screen in her mind lit up again, and a line of words appeared on it.
When the account balance exceeds 10 million, the trading market will be upgraded to level 1, and some of the Wanjie trading markets will be opened! A further upgrade requires an account balance of 50 million.
???
What? Only level one?
Open some of the world's trading markets?
Su Qian was somewhat speechless. Forget it, forget it, I can't protest anyway, so let it be!
There was no time to study the changes in the trading market. Su Qian looked at the boxes of gold and silver in the national treasury and started to make plans.
There are so many left, it shouldn't be a big problem if we take half of it, right?
Just do it!
Soon, Su Qian's account balance became 17 million.
Sure enough, confiscating the house, no, confiscating the national treasury is the fastest way to make money!
Su Qian looked at the balance in her account and nodded with satisfaction.
Then she looked around the room, searching for any other hidden devices.
After all, a country's treasure house must not only contain gold and silver, but also antiques, paintings, calligraphy, jewelry and the like, but none of that can be seen here.
Therefore, there must be another agency hiding those treasures.
Soon, Su Qian found a bulge in a corner. After pressing it, the stone slab in the corner opened, revealing a magnificent dark room underneath.
Although it is a dark room, it is really dazzling inside. The walls are inlaid with many illuminating beads.
The boxes that were opened were filled with all kinds of treasures.
There were beads and tiaras made of various gemstones and agates, as well as calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and of course, several boxes of black pearls the size of eggs!
That is the top-grade spiritual pearl in the mouths of Yan Qinghan and the six-pointed starfish.
Su Qian was indeed a little surprised that the Dongli Kingdom's treasury actually had spiritual beads that were only used in the sea.
With a wave of her sleeves, hundreds of spirit beads along with the box entered the space of her jade pendant.
She ignored the remaining porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, and put those treasures on the shelves. Soon, her account balance became more than 19 million.
Su Qian nodded with satisfaction. This trip was quite rewarding!
Su Qian returned to the roof and deliberately threw tiles at a place not far away, attracting the attention of the guards below who were as firm as wooden stakes.
Although the guards were standing in front of the treasury, they did not raise their vigilance, allowing Su Qian to enter and exit as if there was no one there.
However, it is not their fault. Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to raid the national treasury?
By the time Su Qian flew to the city wall next to the palace, the entire Dongli Palace was in chaos!
There were voices shouting "Catch the thief" everywhere.
Su Qian took another look at the Dongli Palace and headed towards the Second Prince’s Mansion next to it.
In the Dongli Kingdom, as long as the prince reaches adulthood, he must live outside the palace even if he is not crowned a king. The main reason is to avoid causing chaos in the harem.
After the old emperor passes away, these princes will be crowned kings and go to their assigned fiefdoms.
The houses they live in will be inhabited by the princes of the new monarch.
At this moment, the second prince had already received the news that the palace had been robbed and was heading towards the palace!
Su Qian leisurely climbed over the wall into the Second Prince's Mansion and began to wander around.
Soon, she found the warehouse of the Second Prince's Mansion, and there was an extra three hundred thousand in her account.
Su Qian shook her head slightly. This second prince is a bit poor!
Dongfang Yi just casually gave him 100,000 taels, and all the second prince's assets added up to only more than 300,000 taels.
With such a family background, he actually wants to compete with Dongfang Yi for the throne. I don’t know what he is thinking!
After leaving the warehouse, Su Qian found a man who looked like a butler and forced him to reveal the location of the dungeon.
Afterwards, she turned her palm into a knife, knocked the butler unconscious, and found a place to hide him.
Arriving at the dungeon, Su Qian quickly saw the only prisoner in the dungeon.
At this moment, he was lying on the straw in the prison with his back facing outward. When he heard the footsteps, he said without turning his head, "Second Prince, you don't have to worry about it! Su will never agree to it!"
