She looked at the road and knew at a glance that it had been dug not long ago.
I think it was dug by this Heavenly Master and the so-called Sect Master behind him.
At this moment, the noise outside the door gradually subsided. She pushed the door open and walked into the room through the gap.
It was empty here, there was nothing, she looked outside and found that the courtyard was not big, there were only a few houses outside, and there were not many guards here.
She recalled the layout of the Western Region Palace and calculated the distance she had walked. She thought that this place was already outside the palace.
This should be the way the Heavenly Master left himself a way out.
"The Sect Master will be here in a few days. You all should be alert and must not make any mistakes, understand?" A woman's voice sounded: "The Sect Master likes Qiluo Ke, can it be delivered?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Qiluo has been prepared long ago and is stored in the manor outside the city. We will send it here when the Sect Master arrives." The voice that just spoke at the gate came again, with a flattering tone: "Auntie, I wonder how long the Sect Master will stay here this time?"
Upon hearing this, the woman said in a cold voice: "How long does the Sect Master want to stay? Is it your place to ask? This is something that the Young Sect Master should be concerned about."
"Yes, yes, I have overstepped my authority."
The two people's voices gradually faded away, Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly, "Master, Young Master."
I think the so-called Heavenly Master is the Young Sect Master.
As for the sect leader, she was somewhat curious.
Moreover, the young sect leader specifically mentioned the Dingguo Palace today. What kind of grudge does this unidentified evil sect have with the Dingguo Palace?
She originally wanted to check out the real situation here today, but seeing that it was getting late, she still had another place to go.
Fortunately, the person who was leaving was also outside the palace. Shang Ruoyi came to the gate. There were not many guards here, and no one would have thought that an outsider would appear in this inconspicuous courtyard.
She tapped her toes and dodged away.
As the space continued to upgrade, the internal strength in her body became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, her figure shuttled through the night sky. Unless one had extremely high internal strength, even her afterimage would not be clearly visible.
Soon, her figure appeared on the roof of the Ministry of Revenue warehouse.
This is where the Western Regions treasury is located.
She looked at the hundreds of guards in front of her and couldn't help but hesitate. The lights were brightly lit and there was not even a blind spot. How could she get in?
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Since it wouldn't work in the dark, she could only look out in the light.
Shang Ruoyi changed into a guard's uniform, holding a box in her hand, and came to the main gate of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Who are you?" The soldier outside the door held the sword at his waist across his body and asked, "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"I have been ordered by your majesty to deposit the one million taels of silver in the national treasury. Why don't you release it immediately?" She raised her hand and said, "Please have a look, my lord."
The gatekeeper opened the box and found that there were indeed banknotes inside, so his guard was lowered a little.
After all, thieves always steal from the national treasury. Why would a thief put money into the national treasury?
"Do you have the handwritten order from the Minister of Revenue?"
"The emperor sent it urgently, and did not ask for your instructions. He only said that the banknotes were used for military supplies and would be taken away soon, so you just need to send it to me."
I have to say, she really said this borrowing by accident.
This kind of situation happened a few years ago, and the gatekeeper believed her without a doubt after hearing her say this.
"Come in!"
Shang Ruoyi raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard that, and walked inside with the box in her hand.
There are four doors here in total. After the last door, you will reach the treasury.
There are a total of forty-nine Ku Dings guarding here, all of whom are masters of the palace and can defeat ten enemies with one.
Even though her skills have greatly improved now, if she faces so many people at the same time, she can only avoid the attack temporarily.
Seeing her coming, a Kuding stopped her.
"What's in here?"
"My Lord, it's a banknote of one million taels." As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the box.
"Leave it to me, and you can go back and report!" After saying that, the man wanted to take the box.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruoyi quickly closed the box and whispered, "Sir, there are one million taels in here. I must personally put these banknotes in the treasury and seal them with a seal. Otherwise, if even one or half a banknote is missing, I will have no head left."
"What do you mean?" Ku Ding said in a deep voice: "We have been guarding the national treasury here for many years. What kind of silver have we not seen? Would we embezzle these things in your hand?" After saying that, he wanted to reach out to take it.
Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice when she saw this: "Sir, these banknotes are for military supplies. If there is less, I will tell the King of the City that you put the box in the national treasury. If you are willing to take this responsibility, please state your name."
Hearing her say this, Ku Ding withdrew his hand shyly, his eyes fell on her, and he thought to himself that such a thin person would not steal anything from the national treasury, and there would be four body searches when he went out.
"Come with me." He said in a cold voice, "Don't touch or move things around in the treasury. If something is lost, you will be punished."
"Yes." Shang Ruoyi followed behind her and walked in.
"The banknotes are in the innermost part. Follow me and don't look around."
"yes."
There were some large boxes placed at the door, and inside were various shelves filled with all kinds of treasures.
Shang Ruoyi walked to the innermost part, put the box away, and sealed it with oil and wax.
After doing all this, Shang Ruoyi turned around and looked at Ku Ding and smiled.
Without waiting for a response, she moved her fingers slightly, and a wisp of green smoke popped out. A faint fragrance entered her nose, and in an instant, her eyes became dull.
Shang Ruoyi's voice rang in her ears: "Remember, no matter who asks, it was a small guard who put the banknotes into the treasury and left. You don't know anything else. Remember?"
Nakuding nodded and said awkwardly, "I'll remember it."
As soon as Shang Ruoyi thought about it, all the treasures in the storeroom were stored in the space. The gold, silver and jewelry in the boxes disappeared, and even the treasures on the upper floors were all stored in the space.
Only the boxes were still where they were.
All this happened in the blink of an eye and did not waste any time.
Therefore, when she walked out of the treasury, she did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Most importantly, after checking at several gates, she did not take anything with her.
In this way, she emptied the national treasury openly without being discovered by anyone.
When Shang Ruoyi returned to the bedroom, it was almost dawn.
She was not sleepy at all. She really wanted to know how wonderful the Western Region Emperor's expression would be when he saw that all the money in his private treasury and the national treasury had disappeared.
