An hour later, Qiu Qiyi finally woke up, but his voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"Where's Lin Yuxin?"

"Your Majesty, Lin Yuxin is missing. I have searched the palace but couldn't find her."

The soldier knelt on the ground and answered.

"Waste! If we can't even find a woman, how can she be eliminated? Let the Imperial Guards find her for me. Even if they have to turn the palace upside down, they must find her for me!!"

When Qiu Qiyi heard that Lin Yuxin had run away, he immediately became angry and handed the task of finding her to the Imperial Guards.

The Imperial Guards are in charge of the security of the palace, so naturally they can check every place, so let them go and be more cautious.

"yes!"

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened!"

At this time, the Minister of Finance Gong 꺶 ran in with a pale face, knelt on the ground and shouted to the emperor.

"What's the matter? How can you be so flustered as the Minister of Finance?"

Qiu Qiyi looked at the man kneeling on the ground, frowned, and scolded him.

"Your Majesty, I am not asking for this, it is...I really have something to report!"

Gong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke tremblingly.

"Tell me about it? What's going on?"

Qiu Qiyi raised his eyebrows, not realizing the seriousness of the matter, and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, our treasury... is empty!"

Gong Man burst into tears and said tremblingly, "I am ready to die!"

"What did you say?"

Qiu Qiyi thought he had heard it wrong and asked again in disbelief!

"Your Majesty, our treasury is empty. The gold and silver inside disappeared inexplicably. Not a single one is left. It's all gone!!"

The man cried and said it again, that when he went to check a few days ago, they were still fine. But when he went to count again today, they were gone, not a single one was gone, and he didn't know when they were lost, and there was no movement at all!

"Bang!"

"Your Majesty! Quick, the imperial physician, please take a look at Your Majesty!"

When Qiu Qiyi heard the news, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, fell backwards, and fell directly to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Luo hurriedly went to help Qiu Qiyi in a panic, and called several imperial doctors who were waiting on the side!

At this moment, everyone looked at the emperor with worry, afraid that if something happened to the emperor, he would die faster.

When Qiu Qiyi woke up again, the imperial physician, Gong and several other important ministers were there.

Qiu Qiyi blinked his eyes, looked at Gong Xiaoren, and then remembered what he said! Regardless of his weak body, he sat up suddenly, grabbed Gong Xiaoren's collar, and questioned loudly:

"What did you say? Say it again?"

"Your Majesty, it's true. Our treasury is empty. I don't know when, but all the gold, silver and treasures inside disappeared! There is no money in the treasury now!"

Gong said with a bitter face, he didn't want to admit the hurt, but he had to say it again.

"How could it disappear? How did it disappear? You had so many people guarding it, but you couldn't? Are all the guards shit eaters?"

When 놛 heard what Gong 꺶 said, he couldn't accept it for a moment and roared fiercely.

Qiu Qiyi's face fell to the ground because of what others said, without any anger.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know about this. When I found out, I checked all the guards and the people guarding the treasury, and no one noticed anything wrong."

Gong 꺶 buried his head even lower. 놛 was the person in charge of the national treasury, but the treasury disappeared in 놛's hands unknowingly. 놛 only felt that his death was not far away.

"Don't know? If you don't know, then you all deserve to die! Come, drag Gong Pei away and chop him up. As the Minister of Revenue, he failed to take good care of the national treasury and even allowed it to be robbed. His crime is unforgivable."

"Also, drag these people guarding the treasury away and execute them. I don't need useless people!"

Qiu Qiyi directly ordered the killing of a group of people to eliminate the anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty!"

When the people of Gong heard this, they looked as pale as death, but they still held out a glimmer of hope and begged for mercy from the emperor, but it was in vain.

Qiu Qiyi suppressed her inner anger and watched Gong Pei being dragged away expressionlessly.

Even though he killed these people, he still didn't solve the fundamental problem. His mind was spinning like crazy at this moment, thinking of a solution.

Theft from the national treasury would be a heavy blow to the entire State of Zhao. Where would they get so much silver?

Eunuch Luo looked at the emperor's gloomy face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally did not say anything about the fact that something was lost in the harem.

The emperor is so distressed, so I'd better not say anything for now.

But the good times didn't last long. After a while, someone came to report:

"Your Majesty, the Second Emperor has led two thousand soldiers to surround the palace!"

"Two thousand soldiers? Do you think two thousand people can shake my position? Go and ask General Rong to send troops to capture Qiu Jingfan directly. There is no need to leave him alive this time!"

When Qiu Qiyi heard that Qiu Jingfan had taken action, the hanging heart finally let go. As long as Qiu Jingfan took action, he would have a reason to deal with him!

What's more, there are only 2,000 people in the army, and you want to dethrone me. You are really stupid.

Qiu Qiyi felt very disdainful when he thought that Qiu Jingfan had worked hard for several months to recruit only 2,000 people. It seemed that there were people who supported him.

I had just suppressed a lot of my anger about the theft from the national treasury.

"yes!"

But as time went by, Qiu Qiyi didn't wait for the news that Qiu Jingfan was arrested, but waited until Qiu Jingfan had already passed all the checkpoints and reached the palace!

"How is that possible? What does General Rong do for a living? With 100,000 soldiers, he can't even take down 2,000 people?"

Qiu Qiyi just thought it was Fang Yetan, how could this be possible?

"It's true, Your Majesty, General Rong... General Rong has been captured, and all 100,000 people in the city have been tied up by the Second Emperor's weapons!"

The person who reported it answered with an expression of disbelief. When he received the news, he was so frightened that he ran to the palace immediately.

"What weapon?"

Qiu Qiyi suddenly thought of the black lump that Lin Yuxin threw in prison, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I don't know. I heard that thing emits poisonous smoke. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were unable to speak or open their eyes because of the smoke. They were tied up and surrendered without a fight!"

The man knelt on the ground and reported the truth.

Qiu Qiyi, who was sitting on the upper seat, figured it out. Qiu Jingfan had been cooperating with Li Xiaochen for a long time. He even lent him such a powerful weapon, which showed that there must be some kind of deal between them.

It was a pity that I had made a wrong move from the moment I captured that bitch Lin Yuxin and brought her into the palace. That woman tortured me for several months without giving me any time to figure things out.

This made you miss the best time to investigate Qiu Jingfan, and gave you the opportunity to plan!

Qiu Qiyi took a deep breath and thought, "I haven't lost yet, there is still a chance!"

"Let the Imperial Guards block it. Whoever can take Qiu Jingfan's head will be given a high rank by me!!"

Qiu Qiyi gritted his teeth and gave orders to the people below him. He believed that there would always be brave men when there was a big reward, and he didn't believe that he couldn't capture Qiu Jingfan!

"yes!"
