Chapter 281 There must be more things she doesn’t know.
This imperial edict was specially issued to her by the princess.
When she followed Chen Bozong to Wuheng, it was also because of the princess's intention. She wanted her to help Chen Bozong silence Wu Xie Huaian, and also to secretly assist in obtaining intelligence from some people in the northern border.
She knew that Wen Yuan was working for the princess, but she had no idea that there were so many valuable things such as gold, silver, jewelry, ginseng, deer antlers, etc. in this private vault!
Just standing at the entrance, the sight of the glittering gold leaves was enough to make her jaw drop.
What a treasure trove!!
There were tens of thousands of taels of disaster relief silver, but in this private treasury, it seemed insignificant.
It is hard to imagine that this is just the wealth that Wenyuan accumulated in Runing in two years.
You won’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you will understand why the princess wanted to replace Runing with her own people.
There must be more that she doesn't know.
However, Princess Jiacheng was so dazzled by the jewels and treasures that she had no time to look for relief funds.
She first moved a few boxes of jewelry that could be taken away to the door. At this moment, there was no movement outside. It should be that the maid and others had killed the people on duty.
If she didn't have the princess's handwritten letter and knew where Wen Yuan's private vault was, who could have found such a remote place?
Who would have thought that such a dilapidated and gloomy place up there was actually a huge vault.
At the same time, Wen Yuan and two other officials who were drinking happily in the restaurant were becoming bored.
Outside the restaurant just across the wall, a group of refugees begging for food gathered.
Because there was no food, the number of refugees in the city was increasing.
Many girls were dressed up beautifully and sent into the house one by one.
Among them, the woman who was personally selected by the princess to be sent here was the last one to appear.
As she listened to the screams of the other women in the room, she felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if the house in front of them was a bottomless abyss, waiting for them to jump down one by one and be smashed to pieces.
The two worlds separated by this wall made the woman feel extremely ironic.
Her eyes were filled with disgust at the injustice of the world, and her bony hands were clutching a long, thin embroidery needle.
However, before she entered the room, a servant came running over in a panic to report the news. He even rushed in hastily without caring about the situation in the room.
"My lord! My lord! Something terrible has happened!!"
"Someone broke into the private vault and killed our people!"
Wen Yuan, who was grinning lewdly, suddenly jumped up in anger: "What did you say?!"
After a while, the princess's carriage was full, so she asked her maid to arrange for another carriage to come, intending to leave after loading the things.
The maid quickly reminded: "Princess, it is not advisable to stay here for long. I'm afraid..."
However, before she could finish her words, the maid's back was instantly pierced by a bayonet! With a burst of blood spurting out, the maid fell to the ground and died.
Princess Jiacheng was shocked and looked at the newcomer with horror.
Wen Yuan, holding a knife, sneered at her, "Princess? What do you mean?"
Princess Jiacheng never expected Wen Yuan to suddenly arrive at this moment. Her brows furrowed, and she forced herself to remain calm as she waved her sleeves and said, "Master Wen! I have my own purpose for coming here."
"I haven't touched anything that belongs to you in your private vault. I'm only taking my husband's things."
Wen Yuan's face instantly darkened: "Your husband?"
"How come I didn't know when the County Master's things were in my private vault?"
"Wenyuan, don't try to hide it from me. If you let me take my husband's things, both of us will be safe. The women I choose for you from Wu Heng will be enough for your brothel to make money."
After saying that, she puffed out her chest and was about to leave, but Wen Yuan blocked her way.
He looked at her with a meaningful look, and as he showed a lewd smile, Princess Jiacheng, who felt deeply offended, became furious.
"I am the princess! The daughter of King Shuo!"
"Even if the princess saw me, she wouldn't do this to me..."
Before she could finish her words, Wen Yuan grabbed her hands from behind! Then his men swarmed over...
"Let me go! Princess Jiacheng, Princess Jiacheng is not someone you can…"
"In Runing, no one can save you even if you're a princess! Princess Jiacheng? Are you plotting against me? Anyone who dares to touch my private vault will suffer!"
"Today I'll show you who has the final say in Runing!"
Wen Yuan pinched her chin and kicked her back to the warehouse.
In the flickering candlelight, Jiacheng's hair bun loosened up. She looked over with panic on her face, warning him with her scarlet eyes.
"If you dare to mess around, I will make you pay for it!" Wen Yuan snorted and ripped off his belt and slapped the princess hard in the face.
Jiacheng was stepped on by him without any ability to fight back. Wenyuan looked her up and down and sneered.
"Looking at it this way, the women you sent me weren't even half as pretty as you. Besides, you're a princess, so we should see what the difference is between a princess and other women."
Wen Yuan did not give the princess any chance to resist. The servants outside only heard the princess' miserable roar coming from the warehouse.
This was the same voice as the women who had just been sent into the restaurant by the princess.
But the sound didn't last long, and it became quiet inside.
Wen Yuan's subordinates felt strange and pushed the door of the warehouse tentatively. Unexpectedly, a pair of bloody hands suddenly stretched out, and with a sharp knife, they fiercely pierced the officer's neck!
Princess Jiacheng was seen holding a blood-stained dagger and stepping over several men who had fallen to the ground.
After she killed her subordinates guarding the door, she dropped the knife in a trance and collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, her body was in constant pain, and she had exhausted all her energy in resisting those men.
But when she turned around and saw the corpses, she couldn't help but sneer.
"Wenyuan, do you really think I'm the kind of woman you can manipulate at will? Today, I'm going to take all the stolen money you've accumulated over the past few years. Watch carefully! Watch how I dismantle your private vault!"
She pointed at Wen Yuan, who was covered in blood and crawling to the door, and laughed out loud.
Then he staggered to his feet, dragged his heavy body, and moved the wooden box full of silver ingots that Wen Yuan was leaning against out of the warehouse.
Wen Yuan held his still bleeding thigh tightly with a fierce look in his eyes.
As she slowly moved the two boxes onto the carriage, the princess lay exhausted on the carriage, and seemed to use her last bit of strength to whip the horse hard.
The carriage was unmanned and was running wildly in the open wilderness.
As they were crossing the bridge, the reins suddenly fell off! With a loud bang, the back of the carriage suddenly tilted and fell straight into the glacier.
