Chapter 28 The unlocking posture must be wrong
At the city gate.
After watching the carriage gradually disappear from his sight, Xiao Junze became too lazy to act anymore.
In front of the people, he pretended to wipe away his non-existent tears, then turned around and got on the dragon chariot.
Although he was still very angry about the loss of his property, he felt less angry when he thought that the property of Prince An's Mansion could be added to his treasury.
Especially those things left by the previous emperor.
Alas, I don’t know how things are going with Manager Ji?
Have you found the things left by the late emperor?
Xiao Junze in the dragon chariot curled his fingers slightly, unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
I can finally rest easy.
——————
At this moment, Manager Ji, who was searching for treasure in Prince An's Mansion, was still in a daze.
He stood at the door like a fool, staring blankly at the three locks that had been locked again.
The story begins after Jiang Ruo and his group left...
After watching Jiang Ruo and the others leave, Manager Ji ran towards the warehouse in ecstasy...
Because I was so excited, I accidentally tripped several times on the way and didn't feel the pain even though my knees were bruised.
Looking at the three locks on the warehouse door, Manager Ji smiled proudly.
However, when he opened the door... he was completely dumbfounded!
The warehouse is empty...
His head buzzed, and the computer went offline...
He told himself that the scene just now was an illusion, and that his unlocking posture must be wrong.
No, it's... the order of unlocking is wrong...
After a long time, Manager Ji walked out of the warehouse in the same way he entered, and locked the three locks again with trembling hands.
The other two eunuchs happily walked around Prince An's mansion, but as they were walking around, they felt something was wrong...
Except for two taels of silver in the servant's room, all the valuable items were gone...
I heard that the water vats in Prince An’s Mansion are all inlaid with gold, but...where are the large gold-inlaid water vats?
The two eunuchs looked at Prince An's Mansion, which was somewhat inconsistent with the "rumors", and their heads were full of question marks...
What is going on?
Is Prince An’s Mansion so poor?
No way!
The two eunuchs searched around again without giving up, and finally, they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, feeling more and more disappointed.
what to do?
Do I have to hand over the small change that I found with such great difficulty?
The two men looked at the pitiful change in their hands, discussed with tears in their eyes, and decided to report the truth to Manager Ji.
Alas, they had originally thought it was a lucrative job, and before they got the news, they had even secretly slipped some money to Ji Zongguan...
Who knew the result would be like this? I lost a lot of money.
Crying with anger!
The two young eunuchs ran towards the storehouse crying...
"Oh no, oh no, there's nothing left... woooo!"
Manager Ji, who was staring at the three locks on the door in a daze, became furious when he heard the words "nothing is left".
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Ah! Unlucky thing!"
"What's missing? Isn't Prince An's Mansion here just fine?"
After Chief Steward Ji scolded the two young eunuchs, he felt a little better.
He was thinking: I should wait for the emperor to come and let him open the door himself!
I am a slave with a low status and should not be qualified to open the door of this warehouse.
Manager Ji stood there in a daze, and couldn't help muttering in his heart when he thought of the empty warehouse just now.
Today is really hell!
Could it be because I didn’t check the almanac before going out today?
The emperor must not be allowed to know that he had opened the warehouse door.
Yes, he knows nothing!
At this moment, Manager Ji was extremely grateful that there were only three of them in Prince An's Mansion.

Xiao Junze arrived at Prince An's Mansion in a dragon chariot.
Because he was so excited, Xiao Junze staggered and almost fell to the ground when he got off the dragon chariot.
The imperial guards stationed outside Prince An's mansion were terrified. They all knew that Xiao Junze was excited because he had gotten what he wanted.
The Emperor has become increasingly wary of His Royal Highness Prince An in recent years, and now, this threat has finally been driven out of the capital.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, stand up!"
Xiao Junze appeared calm and composed as he strolled leisurely into Prince An's mansion.
As soon as he entered Prince An's Mansion, Xiao Junze keenly sensed that something was wrong.
What exactly is wrong? I can't really tell at the moment.
Uh... I just feel that Prince An’s Mansion is a lot more spacious.
It must be that woman Jiang Ruo who, after entering the palace, was filled with dissatisfaction and started to mess around with Prince An's mansion.
I didn't expect that the daughter of that old fox Jiang Qinian would be so restless.
By the way, this Jiang Ruo seems to be different from the one rumored.
Xiao Junze discarded the useless thoughts in his mind and walked quickly towards the warehouse...
In front of the warehouse door, Manager Ji and the other two stood there, each with their own thoughts.
Alas, what should I do when the emperor comes?
When Manager Ji caught a glimpse of the bright yellow figure in the distance, alarm bells rang in his heart.
Looking at the two young eunuchs who were still doubting their lives, Chief Steward Ji kicked them angrily and scolded them in a low voice: "Don't just stand there, the emperor is coming!"
Trash, what's the use of you!
Manager Ji withdrew his thoughts and walked forward with a flattering look on his face.
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and followed with a bitter smile.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
"Stand up!"
Looking at the warehouse so close, Xiao Junze couldn't suppress the smile on his lips anymore...
Manager Ji looked at the smile on Xiao Junze's lips and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
At this time, Chief Steward Ji was still unaware of the theft in the palace's warehouse.
He comforted himself in his heart that it was just a little money and the emperor would not take it seriously.
Steward Ji smiled broadly and presented the key in his hand, "Your Majesty, I am of low status and unworthy of opening such a precious storehouse, so I have no choice but to wait for you to come."
Xiao Junze was overjoyed by Manager Ji's flattery. After coughing softly, he picked up the three keys in front of him seriously.
Why are there three keys?
Xiao Junze turned his gaze to...the three locks!
He sneered in his heart: Haha~ What's the use of more locks? They will all fall into my hands.
Steward Ji watched Xiao Junze's every move with trepidation. He wished these three locks would never be opened...
Alas, the emperor’s wrath is inevitable.
Xiao Junze took a step forward and opened the first lock with a slightly unfamiliar technique...
When Xiao Junze opened the third lock, Manager Ji hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this time, Manager Ji was already prepared to endure Xiao Junze's wrath.
The moment the door opened, the smile on Xiao Junze's face froze at the corner of his lips.
Then, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground...
In an instant, the howling of Prince An's Mansion resounded through the sky...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone come! Quickly call the imperial physician..."
