Chapter 31 A Trip to the National Treasury
Just in case.
This time, she used a concealing charm when opening the door. This meant that the door to the warehouse was open, but the guards couldn't see it.
The national treasury was much larger than the emperor's private treasury. However, the money inside was not much more. Last night, Yue Fuli took away items worth nearly five million taels from the emperor's private treasury.
This national treasury was more than ten times larger than the emperor's private treasury, but the total value of all the items in it was less than ten million, perhaps eight million taels at most.
Yue Fuli shook her head as she collected the things. All the good stuff went into the emperor's pocket, leaving the treasury with so little. No wonder the people of Da Qi had such a hard time.
Looking at the officials again, they are all fat and big-eared. It is obvious that from the emperor to the officials, all of them are greedy.
When she has the chance in the future, she will visit the homes of all the officials, take away all the things they have embezzled, and return them to the people.
This time, Yue Fuli did not empty the treasury, but instead picked out the valuables. After one round, one-third of the entire treasury was taken away.
Yue Fuli was very satisfied with the warehouse, which was one-third empty. Before leaving, she even took a look around to see if there were any good things left.
After making sure that the money and good things were all in her space, she left with satisfaction.
Before leaving, Yue Fuli even wrote a few large characters on a prominent wall of the warehouse: "I visited here on a certain night in a certain year."
After finishing writing, he clapped his hands and left.
Outside the prison, Luo Ming's men were guarding the door, waiting for the people inside to come out. But as time went by, not even a fly escaped, let alone a person.
"Brother, do you think Lord Luo might have made a mistake? We've been guarding here for a long time, and not only have we not seen anyone come out, we haven't seen anyone go in either."
"Maybe the time hasn't come yet. Since Lord Luo asked us to guard here, he must have a reason to do so. No matter whether the people inside can get out or the people outside can get in, we just need to guard here well and don't worry about anything else."
Yue Fuli had no idea that Luo Ming's men were getting a little impatient. This was because it was already the middle of the night, the time when people were most likely to feel sleepy.
Isn't it uncomfortable to squat outside, feeling cold and sleepy?
Besides, Yue Fuli was in no hurry to go home after transferring the national treasury. Although he had searched the palace yesterday, there was one most important thing that Yue Fuli had not yet taken out.
Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go get the things so that she wouldn't have to worry about them later.
When Yue Fuli entered the palace again, the concealing talisman on the treasury failed, revealing the opened door.
When the guards saw the gate open like that, they thought they saw a ghost and were all scared.
"How did this door open?"
"Yeah, I was staring at the door, how come it suddenly opened?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Several guards went to the gate together and found that some of the shelves inside were empty. Their faces immediately turned pale.
"Quick, go and report to the emperor that the treasury has been robbed."
The emperor was waiting for news, so he had not slept yet. After hearing the guard's report, he immediately rushed to the treasury.
When Yue Fuli saw the emperor leave, a smile appeared on her face. She reached out and grabbed the things on the table, then quickly escaped.
As she walked, Yue Fuli began to laugh.
When the emperor returns and finds that thing is missing, he will probably cry, right?!
