After the stewards left, the head of the palace guards came forward to report.
"My Lord, all the treasures in the underground palace and the Crown Prince's courtyard are gone!"
Luo Hou almost jumped up. Even when he heard that his son's affairs were exposed, he was not so anxious.
"Impossible, how did they move those things out?"
It's not like you can just take away the banknotes. It's impossible to take so many heavy items out of the house.
"We didn't see it. Maybe someone took it away during the chaos when the fire was set!"
"Are all of you just eating shit? The underground palace is the result of years of hard work, and it was stolen just like that!"
"Most people were just watching Lord Wu and the others, while others were helping to put out the fire, so..."
"Enough~Get out!"
After everyone left, he changed his mind and thought that without any valuables in the underground palace, the people from the Military Affairs Department would not discover that he had stored too much gold and silver, and the emperor would not know about it.
It's a little bit of luck in misfortune.
Anyway, what is in the underground palace is only a small part, so just consider it as a disaster relief. As long as there is another chance, it will not be difficult to earn seven or eight times the money back with my own ability.
You wonder why his Luo family has so much wealth? There are people who are better at business than him, but none of them have saved such a large amount of gold and silver like him.
It turns out that the ancestors of the Luo family originally had a title called Green Forest Heroes. This was just a nicer name. In fact, they gathered a group of people with some skills and specialized in robbing rich people. At that time, the previous dynasty was in the late stage of chaos and no one cared.
In this way, he accumulated countless wealth, and later followed his current ancestor to build an empire, and finally became the Marquis of Zhenxi.
To put it bluntly, they are robbers.
And this tradition has not been abandoned. Whenever someone is sent out to fight, looting is a must.
It was customary for the emperor to keep a portion of the spoils taken from the enemy on the battlefield and distribute them to the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle.
But he was not satisfied with just that part, and sometimes he would send his men to pretend to be robbers to rob, no matter whether it was the enemy's or his own, in the end it all went into his pocket. He always had a team under him to help him do this.
Sometimes, a part of the enemy troops would be sent into the city that was supposed to be defended. After they had burned, killed and looted almost everything, they would counterattack and kill and rob the enemies, thus gaining not only merit but also wealth.
He had been doing this all those years, so he was only heartbroken for a short while when he lost a whole underground palace of gold and silver. In the end, he even felt that it was a good thing that he was not discovered.
This is also the reason why there are so many people guarding his mansion. Not only to keep his son's affairs secret, but also to prevent the large amount of unknown property from being discovered and arousing the emperor's suspicion.
Bai Zhiyue didn't try to find out anything else, she only went to the underground palace. What was there was actually only one part of the treasure, there were two other places where gold, silver and treasures were stored.
Perhaps it was his bandit nature that made it difficult for him to acquire things like gold, silver, and gemstones. He was not very interested in antique paintings and calligraphy, rare books, and precious treasures, so he only kept some of them in public.
The most common ones were remelted gold and silver ingots, many of which were used to build walls and pillars.
Bai Zhiyue returned to the house. It was almost dawn, but Doudou still hadn't slept.
"Mom, is everything okay? You've been out for a long time this time."
"His house was heavily patrolled, and there were secret guards there, so it took a little longer to get in."
Congcong next to her exposed her
[A bunch of assassins were chasing him, and he was running so miserably, why didn't you say anything?]
"I should roast you over the fire. You eat so many delicious foods every day, so the aroma should be unique and attract their attention."
[It's not delicious. That little bit of meat is not enough for one person to fill their teeth, so it won't attract attention.]
"Is mom not hurt?"
“No, I just wanted to save Captain Wu and the others from being silenced, to attract harm, and to let them know that they can’t kill me, and killing them is useless, so there’s no need to fight.
But the Luo family was really bold, planning to kill Captain Wu, forcing me to reveal myself and deal with the assassins. Fortunately, I ran away quickly.
"Lord Luo only has one legitimate son, so he must be well protected. Of course, nothing can happen to him. But this time, I can't protect him."
"Luo Tianhao can't harm us this time. There are more than a dozen corpses in the yard alone who will have their heads chopped off."
If he just kept a boy lover, it would only ruin his reputation, and no matter how many more heads he had, they would not be enough to make him deserve to be chopped off.
"Today's harvest is good. Not only did we resolve the crisis in Caixiangzhai, expose Luo Tianhao's affair, save many people, but we also gained a lot of gold and silver."
"When I have money, I can do more good deeds. We have this life, so we must do something to make the most of this good fortune."
"Okay, I'll satisfy you, little Shancai boy. Anyway, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it all. It's not bad to do something. At least it will make you feel good!"
Luo family
When the marquis' wife learned that her only son had become a eunuch and was in a state of unconsciousness, she cried so hard that the earth shook.
"My son, what a misery you have endured!"
He hasn't woken up since he fainted yesterday. Besides the pain, he just lost a lot of blood. Compared to the person he tortured to death with his own hands, this is nothing.
The court doctor has already examined him. He was indeed very cruel to himself and cut himself very thoroughly. He could definitely enter the palace to become a eunuch.
"Son, I will definitely avenge you. When we catch that thief, I will let you cut him into pieces with your own hands, and then chop him into powder and feed it to the dogs."
If Bai Zhiyue were here, she might have shaved her first. Luo Tianhao's character was definitely due to his mother's contribution.
"What's the big deal about killing a few lowly people? You're my only son, and I won't let them take you away no matter what."
The annoying crying finally woke Luo Tianhao up.
"Stop crying, it's annoying!"
"Hao'er, you're finally awake. Don't worry, your father and I will definitely find a way to protect you!"
However, Luo Tianhao didn't care who was around him or what they said. The first thing he did when he woke up was to get up.
"I have killed many people. I am a criminal and must go to the government office to confess my crime."
With this movement, the wound on his body, which had just healed, opened again and started bleeding, and his body was covered in blood again.
"Hurry up and hold Hao'er!"
"Hao'er, you are trying to dig out my heart. How could it become like this?"
"Leave me alone, let me go, no one is allowed to stop me from confessing my guilt!"
My son's reaction was very abnormal, as if he had suffered a great shock. The only thing he remembered was confessing his guilt.
The servant frantically held down Luo Tianhao who was trying hard to get up, but he struggled so hard that the blood flowed more and more.
"Everyone, be careful. If you hurt the prince, I will kill you. Go call the palace doctor and give him medicine!"
The servants are feeling very sad. Madam, do you want us to stop them or not?
The Marquis's wife was so heartbroken that she burst into tears, and she didn't think about the dead teenagers, how painful they were at that time, and how much they wished someone could save them.
Luo Hou and his wife knew everything and could have let them go, but they chose to help hide the harm. They are both accomplices.
