After the commander finished speaking, the two nearest guards approached her eagerly.
Su Sijin's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and just as the two men were about to approach her, she was caught off guard and pulled behind Zheng Jie to be protected.
"How dare you! The Emperor only said he would confiscate our property and exile us. My son is the Prince of Changsha bestowed by the late Emperor, and she is his consort. It's not enough for you to despise the current emperor, are you also going to despise the late Emperor?"
Zheng Jie had already used up all her courage and bravery to say this. If Su Sijin hadn't supported her, she might have collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
Zheng Jie was obviously very scared, but for Su Sijin, she resolutely stood in front of her with her trembling body.
A warm light flashed in Su Sijin's eyes. Although Zheng Jie was sometimes a little soft-hearted and cowardly, the youngest daughter of Duke Zheng was no fool.
She has all the skills, scheming and cunning to manage a household; it all depends on whether she is willing to use them.
Anyone with a brain would be scared off by Zheng Jie's words, but for some reason the leader had lost his nerve and still insisted on searching Su Sijin's body.
Even though Zheng Jie was extremely scared, she still protected Su Sijin tightly.
His target was her, and blindly avoiding her was not her way of doing things.
Su Sijin used her strength to pull Zheng Jie behind her and approached the commander provocatively, "If you were a man, you would come and search in person, unless you are not a man."
Su Sijin hinted at something, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of contempt, making people grit their teeth in hatred. No one could remain indifferent.
The commander's aura suddenly became sharp and fierce, with murderous intent in his eyes. He drew out his sword and slashed at Su Sijin.
Zheng Jie covered Zheng Qiuling's eyes in fear to prevent him from seeing the bloody and cruel scene. She also closed her eyes out of fear.
Su Sijin turned sideways and successfully avoided the fatal knife.
The commander, with a pale face, used every sharp move to target Su Sijin's vital points, and every move was filled with murderous intent.
But they were all resolved one by one by Su Sijin using softness to overcome hardness. With a wave of her hand, the silver needle had already pierced into the hand holding the knife.
Suddenly, the commander felt a pain in his hand holding the knife, and then the knife fell to the ground.
"You cheated."
The commander covered his hands and accused angrily.
Su Sijin would naturally not agree, "Don't accuse me, you swing your knife towards my vitals, it's obvious that you want to kill me."
The pain came and went quickly, but he didn't realize that he would be unable to get an erection for decades to come.
She had a secret in her previous life, that is, her eyes were like X-ray vision. She could tell where the patient's lesion was and what disease he had just by looking at it.
Commander? He's been overindulging himself, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted. He's had the will but not the strength, and he's been failing for a while now.
Before, he could be a man again as long as he took a few pills to recuperate, but now it is completely impossible because she sealed several of his acupuncture points.
Impotence is the end of his life.
But, the prerequisite is that he is still alive.
Given the current emperor's suspicious nature, he will not allow others to trample on his imperial power. How could he allow someone who tampers with the imperial edict and despises his imperial power to live?
The reason why Su Sijin deliberately provoked him was to kill someone with a borrowed knife. If she didn't kill such a person who relied on others for power and money, would she let him poison more loyal people?
Of course, the most important thing is revenge, because he has been humiliating vulnerable groups again and again.
A guard came hurriedly to report, "Commander, no, there is nothing in the palace."
Then came the second, third, and fourth, as if it had been agreed upon.
Without exception, there was no gold, silver or valuable items in the warehouse of the Changsha Palace.
Even the kitchen is clean.
"How is it possible? How is it possible that such a huge palace doesn't have any gold or silver?"
The commander didn't believe a word of it. Even if there was no silver, there were still so many priceless items bestowed by the late emperor. They couldn't be sold, so how could they just disappear?
"Go look around and see if there's a secret room or something like that." The commander said as he kicked the person who reported the news.
After kicking the man away, he turned around and asked loudly, "Tell me, where did you hide the gold, silver and priceless royal gifts?"
Zheng Jie and Lu Changji looked at each other. The things in the warehouse had not been moved, so how could they have disappeared?
Unless he wanted to take it all for himself, he found an excuse with Haotou and used the Lu family as a scapegoat.
Su Sijin sneered, "Commander, are you trying to steal the palace's assets?"
Lu Changji looked at Su Sijin, who was full of fighting spirit, and a look of doubt flashed across his eyes. This was different from what was rumored.
But regardless of the rumors for now, she really did protect the eldest wife's family.
"Don't talk nonsense." The commander retorted hastily with a cold face.
"You two, search them and don't let them take away even a grain of rice from the palace." The commander pointed to the two maids beside him and gave the order without question.
The women in the Lu family were afraid of being beaten, so they went to their rooms obediently, and Zheng Jie was no exception.
The only exception was Su Sijin who was not searched. The commander couldn't do anything to her. She was stupid enough to follow and be humiliated.
The woman and the man quickly searched her body and found many valuable things, including several thousand taels of silver and banknotes.
"Commander, we've searched the warehouse, but nothing, nothing at all." The person who came to report reported with gritted teeth.
"Useless trash." After the commander said this, he raised his foot and kicked the man out. He hit the stone pillar and died on the spot without even making a sound.
Because the house search was in vain, the commander had no place to vent his anger, so he picked up a wooden stick and beat anyone he saw.
The second and third masters of the Lu family were also affected and hit with a few sticks. They looked at Lu Changgong lying motionless on the wooden board.
