Chapter 14: Confiscation and Exile



Yu Huaqian hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Wu of Liang, and looked at the dragon throne that had disappeared from the throne in shock, and gasped.

frenzied!

It's outrageous!!

There has never been such a daring thief in history.

How did this group of thieves manage to transport the dragon throne weighing nearly a thousand pounds without anyone noticing?

This is simply terrifying.

The legs of the civil and military officials were numb from kneeling, and they did not hear the voice of Emperor Wu of Liang.

Some ministers couldn't help but look up slightly and glance at the dragon throne.

This glance scared them so much that their pupils trembled.

Dragon~Where is the dragon throne?!

Could it be that the dragon throne was also stolen?

Where on earth did this vicious and hungry thief come from?

This person is really poor, he steals everything!

The other ministers turned their heads and saw the frightened look on the ministers' faces, and they all looked up curiously.

Seeing the empty throne, the court officials were stunned.

What a bold thief!

"presumptuous!!"

Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly burst into a roar.

He clenched his fists, shook off Yu Huaqian's hand, and strode onto the throne.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the mark left by the dragon chair on the throne, his chest heaving violently, and turned to look at the court officials with a murderous look.

When the ministers saw Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly appear, their pupils suddenly trembled and their eyeballs almost popped out.

Emperor Wu of Liang was wearing only pajamas and no shoes. His snow-white socks had become filthy from walking all the way.

All the ministers lowered their heads in unison, not daring to look directly at Emperor Wu of Liang's embarrassed expression.

The entire Golden Palace was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Emperor Wu of Liang swept his cold eyes over everyone and roared furiously.

"This bold and arrogant man, I will definitely kill all his nine clans and bury them with him! I will tear his body into pieces!"

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the line of military commanders, and mentally screened them one by one, and said in a deep voice,

"Dong Wenfeng, lead your troops to track down the throne immediately. If you can't find it, bring it to me with your head."

Military General Dong Wenfeng was slightly taken aback, then immediately stepped out of the group, clasping his hands together and saying, "Your humble servant obeys your command."

Niu Changji just told him yesterday that Emperor Wu of Liang would ask him to raid the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today.

He spent the entire night thinking about how to humiliate the Xiao family members in retaliation for the old Duke Zhenguo's humiliation of him.

Why is he suddenly asked to track down the whereabouts of the dragon throne?

Where should he start looking for this? It's so unlucky.

A lucrative job turned into a fatal one.

Dong Wenfeng walked out of the Golden Palace with a gloomy face.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked outside the hall with a sullen face.

The imperial seal was of great importance, so Emperor Wu of Liang did not dare to reveal anything and could only use the excuse of looking for the throne.

As long as the dragon throne is found, the imperial seal will naturally be found as well.

At this time, the internal supporter that Emperor Wu of Liang had planted before, Wei Jianxiong, the Minister of War, looked up and glanced at Emperor Wu of Liang several times.

He was extremely nervous. With so many major events happening, he didn't know whether he should still act according to his previous plan.

Now the entire court was silent, and he was afraid of being punished by the emperor later if he didn't say anything.

After much deliberation, Wei Jianxiong could only bite the bullet and step forward, kneeling with the evidence in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I would like to report Xiao Yunzhan for treason, abuse of power, and conspiracy..."

After saying that, Wei Jianxiong pursed his lips and added, "Such a large theft case occurred in the capital, maybe it is related to the Xiao family. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yunzhan be...?"

Wei Jianxiong noticed the condemning looks people were giving him, and suddenly he was so nervous that he couldn't continue his story.

Why!

Why should he say this? The exile of the Xiao family is a foregone conclusion, and one more crime won't make any difference.

After all, everyone in the capital witnessed Xiao Yunzhan riding back to the capital alone.

He didn't even bring a deputy general with him, so how could he have the ability to steal the entire capital in one night.

And last night Xiao Yunzhan was beaten with a stick, seriously injured and unconscious...

Wei Jianxiong lowered his head, regretting having said that extra sentence.

The other ministers looked at Wei Jianxiong in astonishment as he lied with his eyes open, and they almost wanted to spit in his face.

What a thing! Everyone in the Xiao family is full of loyal and brave people.

Emperor Wu of Liang has been wary of the private soldiers in the hands of the Xiao family for a long time. He finally found a charge of treason to capture the Xiao family, so why did he have to throw the dirty water of theft on them?

The entire capital city was robbed so thoroughly that perhaps God couldn't stand it and sent down divine punishment.

After all, many ministers heard last night that some men in black tried to assassinate the Xiao family, but the arrows could not hit the Xiao family and instead reflected back, killing all the men in black.

It sounds quite unreal, but this was all witnessed by the guards guarding the Xiao family's door, so it might be true.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Wei Jianxiong with a twinkle in his eyes. He knew in his heart that the Xiao family was wrongly accused of treason.

But Wei Jianxiong's words reminded him that this theft case might really be related to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Emperor Wu of Liang's face darkened slightly.

"Show it up."

Yu Huaqian hurriedly trotted down to take the evidence from Wei Jianxiong's hand, turned around, walked up to the throne in small steps, and bowed to present it to Emperor Wu of Liang.

Emperor Wu of Liang pretended to flip through it and shouted angrily,

"How dare the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion plot a rebellion? The evidence is irrefutable..."

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent, allowing Emperor Wu of Liang to do whatever he wanted.

Whoever steps forward at this time will be in trouble.

A series of annoying things had made Emperor Wu of Liang so angry that his head was throbbing. Now, at last, there was something that made him feel relieved.
