Having been drugged, Chen San and his men were defeated.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but when they went inside and opened the box, they discovered there was no gold inside! It was full of stones!
That's absolutely infuriating.
The Second Prince's men assumed that the people of Daqi had taken precautions and moved the gold in advance, so they could only retreat empty-handed, cursing all the while.
That's how it happened, but nobody would believe it if I told it to them.
They then subjected him to severe torture.
The unlucky guys were beaten to the point of near death, and felt they were more wronged than Dou E.

Qi Yunxiao waved his hand: "Never mind, it's already like this anyway."
Back in her courtyard, Shen Qingyu asked cautiously, "Did you get the money back?"
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Shen Qingyu, a half-smile on his face: "Don't you know whether you caught them or not?"
Shen Qingyu: "..."
