There are more than 400 guards in Huixin Bank. If they were taken out on weekdays, wearing armor, carrying guns and riding horses, they would look like an army. Boss Qian used to be most confident in the bank in Fengjing. Other branches had big and small incidents, but this one at the foot of the world had never had any incidents since it opened. But tonight, Boss Qian understood a truth. The reason why his head office in the capital had always been peaceful was not because his guards were so powerful, nor because it was at the foot of the emperor, but because the troublemakers had not come to him before.
The boss's gang was not good at anything else, but robbery was probably the only thing they were good at. Without the boss's orders, the pirates quickly split into three groups. One group followed Er Gouzi to the treasury, one group continued to fight with the guards, and another group stayed at the back, guarding the way to retreat after getting the silver, ready to support the brothers' retreat at any time.
The second in command helped Xiao Wei to set fire to the bank. It was windy tonight and Xiao Wei set a house on fire. Soon the fire was fueled by the wind and spread all over the house.
Xiaozhuang rushed to Boss Qian, put a knife to Boss Qian's neck, and said fiercely: "Follow me!"
Boss Qian said, "You robbed my money, burned my house, and even tied me up? You thieves, do you still have the law in your eyes?!"
Xiaozhuang ignored Boss Qian's shouting. They were the princess's guards, and the emperor was standing behind the princess. How could he tell them the law? Xiaozhuang pushed Boss Qian toward the treasury, saying, "If you don't open the door to the treasury, I'll kill you!"
Gu Xinglang was worried in the carriage at the moment, and said, "Won't everything be burned if this fire starts?"
Gu Xingnuo said nonchalantly: "Gold and silver can't be burned, so just burn them. Qian Taiduo is a man who is well-connected in both the business and government circles. A bank can't hurt his foundation."
After hearing what his elder brother said, Third Young Master Gu stopped worrying and hugged Yu Xiaoxiao tightly again, whispering to First Young Master Gu: "The princess is tired today."
"Yeah," Gu Xingnuo nodded. He had never seen Yu Xiaoxiao dozing off like this before. "You must treat the princess well in the future," Young Master Gu whispered to his brother, "She treats you sincerely."
Gu Xinglang nodded.
Boss Qian was being held in the hand of Xiaozhuang at this time, and he was anxiously thinking that when he heard the fighting in the front yard, he sent a few men to the government office to report the case. It was already this late, why hadn't the government officials come yet?
Just when Boss Qian was eagerly waiting for the soldiers, a yamen runner from the Dali Temple slapped a clerk from Huixin Money House aside. It was because he was eating public food and not serving the people. The entire Dali Temple was burning down before his eyes. Was there anyone idle in the Dali Temple at this moment?
Xiaozhuang pushed Boss Qian to the door of the treasury. Several former pirates were using knives to cut the lock on the copper door. Xiaozhuang pushed Boss Qian hard against the copper door and said, "Open the door!"
Boss Qian sneered and cursed at Xiaozhuang: "Thief!"
"Who are you scolding?" Er Gouzi jumped up and was about to beat up Boss Qian.
Xiaozhuang kicked Ergouzi and hit Boss Qian's fat belly with his knife.
Boss Qian stared at his stomach in a daze. Blood slowly flowed out from his torn clothes, and then flowed faster and faster. Boss Qian screamed, "Ah--!"
Xiao Zhuang pulled Boss Qian in front of him again and said harshly, "I'll ask you one last time, where are the keys?"
Extraordinary Demon King
Boss Qian was so powerful that he could not yield to the "tyrannical power" of Xiaozhuang. He said, "Go ahead and kill him. This is the emperor's territory. I want to see how you thieves can escape from the capital!"
When Xiaozhuang heard that the fat man was not afraid of death, he raised his hand and stabbed Boss Qian's fat belly again. Soon a pool of blood appeared under Boss Qian's feet.
Boss Qian felt that he should hold on a little longer, as the soldiers should be here soon.
Why is it said that the place under the emperor's feet is safe? It is because as soon as there is any disturbance where the emperor lives, all the government offices, garrisons, and imperial guards in the capital will be dispatched. All forces of the court will nip in the bud any person or thing that may endanger the emperor's safety at the first possible moment.
But tonight, the imperial guards, the imperial palace guards, and half of the garrison troops in the capital were ordered by Emperor Xianzong to guard the imperial palace and not leave. Another half of the garrison troops were ordered by Emperor Xianzong to guard the four city gates and not leave. As for the Nine City Military Department and the people from the various government offices, the officials in charge were summoned to the palace by Emperor Xianzong to discuss the security of the capital. The rest of them either went to the Huguo Temple to help put out the fire or to the Dali Temple to help start the fire (囧), so everyone could only rush to the big boss for money together.
Of course, Boss Qian had not yet fully realized the malice of the world at that time. Even with blood all over the ground, Boss Qian gritted his teeth and persisted. Qian Taiduo firmly believed that his friends in the government would definitely come to rescue him!
Xiaozhuang stepped on Boss Qian to the ground. He always thought that rich people were afraid of death because they lived too well. He didn't expect that he would meet a rich man who was not afraid of death. Xiaozhuang's eyes gradually became murderous. He stepped on Boss Qian's finger. He was not afraid of death, so was this person afraid of pain?
Boss Qian started howling as his fingers were connected to his heart.
Er Gouzi was so terrified by the howling of Boss Qian that even a pig about to die couldn't howl as miserably as this fat man. The benefactor was too cruel!
"Assholes!" A girl's voice came from the bushes on the right side of the crowd, saying, "You are so brave!"
Xiaozhuang tilted his head, and a long whip whistled across the right side of his face.
Boss Qian was lying on the ground. When he saw the man rushing out from the bushes, he closed his eyes and said, "My ancestor! What are you doing here?"
Xiaozhuang was staring at the girl in front of him in a daze.
The girl was wearing a bright red dress, had a rosy face, big eyes, a very upturned nose, a small cherry mouth, and a small but chubby face. Xiaozhuang felt that this girl was only slightly inferior to his princess.
Er Gouzi said beside him, "Oh my God, are the flowers on her skirt embroidered with gold? Why are they so shiny?"
"That's gold thread!" A former pirate slapped the ignorant guy in the face from behind.
"Who are you?" Xiaozhuang asked the girl.
Boss Qian shook his head desperately at the girl.
The girl snorted proudly and said, "I am the young master of Huixin Bank!"
Everyone knows that Qian Taiduo has a lot of money and a lot of women, but he has no son. He only has a daughter born to his wife, who is treated like the apple of the eye by Boss Qian.
"Qian Mingzhu?" Xiaozhuang asked the girl.
