Chapter 12 The Imperial Palace Becomes a Deserted Palace



That’s right, this golden secret room belongs to Fan Jinchang.

The Shen family's net worth is less than one percent of the Fan family's. The Shen family is truly a breath of fresh air.

Unfortunately, the Shen family only has a loyal and patriotic heart, but lacks the brains to be officials.

As the saying goes, kindness cannot command the army, righteousness cannot command finances, and goodness cannot be an official.

If an official is too kind, he won't last long.

Look at Fan Jinchang, he was so greedy, yet he was still valued by Emperor Tianwu.

Looking at the Shen family, we can see that they guard the border and serve the country wholeheartedly, and all their money is used to subsidize the soldiers.

He was concerned about state affairs even more than Emperor Tianwu.

It would be strange if Emperor Tianwu was happy about this. As a general, you are more popular among the people and soldiers than the emperor. Who can tolerate you?

One look at Fan Jinchang's huge treasury shows that most of the spoils of war went into his own pocket.

Look at the Shen family, they are so stupid that they handed over all the spoils.

Not only did he offend his colleagues, but he also aroused the suspicion of Emperor Tianwu.

Which superior can believe that his subordinates will hand over all the spoils, but the Shen family did just that.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter how much money he covets, it’s all his now.

Chen Yong looked at the originally empty space, which had now been piled up into several mountains of gold, silver, and grain...

The entire capital was so clean after being cleaned by Shen Yongjuan that all the civil and military officials and nobles in the palace were delighted to get rooms with starry sky ceilings.

He gave the ancients such a great gift on the first day he came to ancient times, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Chen Yong glanced at the time displayed on the takeaway mall. It was already 4:30 in the morning.

There is still more than an hour left of invisibility.

Shen Yong passed through the star-domed rooms and headed straight for the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

All the civil and military officials and the courtyards of the imperial palace were taken over, and of course the Duke of Protectorate’s Mansion had to be taken over as well.

If we don't accept it, it will be a waste of money for Emperor Tianwu. The imperial palace is extremely poor now and lacks everything.

The things in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion are not bad, it is impossible not to accept them.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. All seven men in the family went to the battlefield, and the lowest they could do was lieutenant general, and there's not even a single gold nugget in the warehouse."

Chen Yong looked at the storehouse of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and couldn't help shaking his head.

He took a quick look and found that the total amount of silver in the warehouse was only two thousand taels.

When he collected Mrs. Shen's private vault, he saw her dowry list.

The dowry list of more than ten pages does not match the few items in the private storehouse at all.

It was obvious at a glance that Old Madam Shen used her own dowry to supplement the family income, and when her income was not enough to cover her expenses, she relied on selling her dowry to survive.

In Shen Yong's memory, many times when he went around hiring cats and dogs and ran into debt, Old Lady Shen would sadly take out a dowry and let the original owner use it to pay off the debt.

He glanced at the things collected from other places in the space. Many of them were things that the original owner had given out as compensation to others. They were all dowry items of Old Lady Shen.

This can be considered as another way of returning the property to its original owner.

Old Madam Shen only has him as her son, and her property will be given to him in the future. It is only right that he gets back what he paid out.

The six sisters-in-law's dowries seemed to be larger than Old Lady Shen's. After all, they had only been married for a few years and it was not time for them to use up their dowries.

The six sisters-in-law had no children, so they had no money to spend even if they wanted to. At most, they would spend some money on listening to operas, buying some jewelry, and preparing some food.

This amount of money is enough to be used by the money earned from the shops that my sisters-in-law brought as dowries.

Oh, yes, Shen Yong also emptied out all the shops that the widows of the Shen family brought as dowry.

He did not miss any shop with a little fame in the capital and took everything he had.

Anyone who can run a shop so prosperously in the capital must have a powerful backer behind him, and he should just clean up the mess.

Shen Yong glanced at Madam Shen and his sisters-in-law sleeping on the floor, then turned and returned to his room on the starry sky roof.

He took off his clean clothes and threw them into the space, then put on the bloody clothes and lay down on the ground quickly.

After being stimulated all night, Chen Yong fell into a deep sleep in a few seconds.

........

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

"Someone, help!"

"What's going on? Where's the roof?"

"Empress, please wake up..."

“.......”

As the sunlight shone through the starry sky onto everyone's faces, screams like roosters crowing broke out from all over the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs, wearing their underwear, stood in the courtyards of each palace with terrified faces, looking at the palace without a roof and screaming in fear.

The eunuchs and palace maids on night watch were so frightened that they urinated on the spot.

It’s over, it’s over. How could they sleep so soundly? The palace has been emptied out, but they didn’t even notice it.

Who on earth dares to mess up the palace like this?

When the palace maids and eunuchs from various palaces ran out of their master's palace in panic, they found that all the palaces in the palace were the same.

The palace maids looked at each other in confusion, and pinched each other tacitly.

"Hiss~"

It hurts, this isn't a dream.

The palace servants were even more confused. If they were not dreaming, how could the palace become so dilapidated?

All the precious flowers and plants were uprooted, leaving only pits...

......

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Su Huaizhong knelt beside Emperor Tianwu and shouted anxiously.

The sky is falling. How come when I woke up, the Qianqing Palace was emptied out?

Where did this cruel and vicious villain come from? He dared to attack the imperial palace. He wants the heads of all nine clans to be taken away.

He originally thought that only the Qianqing Palace was like this, so he went out to take a look.

My goodness, the entire palace was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.

There was not a single house with a roof in the palace, and even the small pavilion in the imperial garden had only four pillars left.

Su Huaizhong looked at the still sleeping Emperor Tianwu and felt extremely panicked.

If Emperor Tianwu's chest had not been still rising and falling slightly, he would have suspected that Emperor Tianwu had passed away.

Usually at this time, Emperor Tianwu would have woken up long ago and was preparing to attend the morning court.

Such a big thing happened today, but Emperor Tianwu is still sleeping soundly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Su Huaizhong couldn't help but called out a few more times.

The entire palace was swept clean by someone, but the palace guards had no idea about it at all. It's strange.

The palace guards didn't know that the emperor's guards and secret guards...

Su Huaizhong raised his eyelids and looked at the imperial guards and secret guards lying on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

These people were lying in the same room with Emperor Tianwu, and were also in a deep sleep.

Apparently, the person in this room was drugged the most, so...

Su Huaizhong sighed deeply, his brows furrowed tightly, his mind in a mess.

“Hiss~~”

Emperor Tianwu frowned, raised his hand to rub his temple, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

"Whoever is making noise outside, drag him out and give him twenty lashes..."

Emperor Tianwu heard the cries coming from outside and gave an oral order before even opening his eyes.

Anyone who dares to shout in the palace is breaking the rules!
