The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 216: : Wei Dabao's private treasury

   Twenty of the twelfth lunar month.

   Xiao Rui got up by herself this morning, and didn't let Jiao Didi's maid try her best to wake herself up. Why is she so diligent? Because today is the last morning of the year, we can take a vacation tomorrow.

   stepped on to the Meridian Gate, lined up to go to the Golden Palace, waiting for the Xia Emperor to come to the dynasty, it was the beginning of the early dynasty.

   The old-fashioned memorial and early resignation without incident. After the six books reported a few simple questions, there was nothing important. It seems to know that it is the end of the year, and I want to relax.

   Emperor Xia also changed the seriousness of the past and ordered people to go to the court.

   In the past, the Korean food was a bowl of hot porridge and a pile of pickles. It was not delicious, it was only suitable for fruit belly, but today it is extremely rich, with dim sum and side dishes. The hot porridge is not simply white rice porridge, but snow shell sea cucumber porridge.

   Xia Huang laughed and said: "You have worked so hard this year for Aiqing, and the prosperity of the Great Xia Country is inseparable from your contributions. Tomorrow will officially start to rest, and many Aiqing need to return to their hometowns and pay attention to safety on the way."

   "Hai Banban, get ready." Xia Huang turned his head to look at Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu took the order, waved his hand, and the imperial army moved to the desk. It turned out to be the activity of "Blessing" in His Majesty's book. According to Daxia tradition, the last early dynasty every year ends. His Majesty will give blessing to the important ministers to express trust and blessings. , The blessed were grateful to Dai Ze, and posted the word blessing in the main hall of the mansion to show the emperor's grace.

Later, Emperor Xia came to the case of the dragon, mainly made of silk, applied cinnabar, and personally wrote the case. Hai Dafu sang his name. Starting from the cabinet's chief assistant Li Mingyang, he stepped forward and bowed to be bestowed one by one, and looked up to the emperor's imperial book. Thank you respectfully.

   Xiao Rui, as the prince, naturally did not participate in the reward of his majesty to the important ministers.

After    blessing, the early dynasty is over.

   As the king of a country, Emperor Xia started to be busy. He had to seal the pen on the twenty-sixth lunar month. He had to deal with the squeezed memorials as soon as possible. In short, he couldn't stay idle.

   Xiao Rui wandered out of the palace.

  As soon as he returned to the gate of the mansion, he saw Jia Xu waiting at the gate.

   "His Royal Highness, Wei Zhongxian sent his son, this person is in the secret room." Jia Xu whispered.

   Xiao Rui looked overjoyed and said, "Is there a result after following Wei Dabao?"

   Jia Xu nodded.

   Xiao Rui immediately jumped out of the carriage, followed Jia Xu to the backyard secret room, and saw Wei Zhongxian's righteous son Tian Ergeng.

   When he saw Xiao Rui in a three-claw golden dragon suit, the son of Wei Zhongxian knelt in fright.

   "The villain Tian Ergeng, see His Royal Highness King Xian, His Royal Highness Chitose!" This person crowed respectfully, crawling on the ground.

   Xiao Rui sat down and said, "You are the right-hand man of Duke Wei, you don't need to give this big gift, get up and talk!"

   "Yes!" Tian Ergeng stood up.

   Xiao Rui can then take a good look at this person.

   He is in his thirties and looks ordinary, but this age recognizes Wei Zhongxian, who is in his forties, as a righteous son. He is definitely not a good bird either. Hearing from Jia Xu, Wei Zhongxian has already received five righteous sons and is honored as "Wu Biao" by the people of Dongchang. He is Wei Zhongxian's capable man.

  According to this rhythm, when Wei Zhongxian sits in the East Factory, he should be able to gather the "Five Tigers"!

   Five tigers and five beasts, history really has similarities.

   After Xiao Rui looked at Tian Ergeng, he glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu nodded.

   Xiao Rui said: "Leave Wei Zhongxian's business temporarily. Have your mission been in your mind?"

Tian Ergeng respectfully said: "The villain always remembers and dare not forget the instructions of your highness. Please rest assured, your highness. The villain will definitely gain the trust of Wei Zhongxian. People are Wei Zhongxian's dogs."

   Jia Xu deliberately said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Tian Ergeng was sent to the Northwest Camp by me to prove his loyalty, and he was taken care of by the leader of Zhuge, so he was naturally grateful to Dai Ze."

   "Yes, yes, this is the blessing of the villain, but also the blessing of the villain's son." Tian Ergeng was more respectful.

It’s no wonder that Xiao Rui believes too much that since he wants to control Wei Zhongxian and let him use it for his own use, he must be prepared to betray him at any time. At this time, Wei Zhongxian is humble and weak. Once he becomes the director of the East Factory, he even enters the director of the ceremony. , It is difficult to guarantee that he is not dissatisfied. If the time comes, his most trusted son can become a weapon to kill him.

   "Tell me about Wei Zhongxian's account of you." Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Ergeng said: "Your Majesty, Master Wei asked the villain to follow Wei Dabao secretly. I dare not delay the slightest in the past few days, lest you neglect to ruin the important affairs of your Highness. Fortunately, the effort paid off. Last night, Wei Dabao quietly left. Dongchang didn’t tell anyone, he only took his confidant to go out. The villain followed, watching him enter the west of the city, then entered an alley and stopped in front of a house. The villain did not dare to approach, and saw that Wei Dabao got off. The carriage entered the house, and the young man retreated."

   "Oh? You told Wei Zhongxian about this, what did Wei Zhongxian say?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Ergeng said: "Master Wei hesitated for a while, then let the villain come to the Palace of Xian, and warned the villain to tell the truth, not the slightest concealment, and also asked the villain to report to your Royal Highness. People, the villain can act as a contact person and directly tell Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei has said that it must be done immediately without delay."

Xiao Rui nodded. Wei Zhongxian hesitated. He also wanted to get a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, he didn't have this strength. If the house was really Wei Dabao's private treasure, it would be closely guarded by Wei Dabao. Although Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the arrest, many people under him , And can also mobilize Jin Yiwei, but you must know that even he belongs to Wei Dabao's command, and he can't do it with his own confidant, Wu Biao.

   Then, Jia Xu took out the map and asked Tian Ergeng to point out the specific location of the house before sending him away.

   Xiao Rui called Li Yuanfang.

   "Yuanfang, how are you doing lightly?" Xiao Rui asked.

   Li Yuanfang proudly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there will be no problem with visiting the palace at night!"

   Xiao Rui threw the map to Li Yuanfang and said, "Explore this house at night to see how many spies or eyeliners are hidden inside. Be careful, don't be found."

   Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry!"

  ......

   In the night, after the time passed, Li Yuanfang disappeared into the dark night in a night gown.

   He leaped on the eaves, leaping over a long distance, landing silently, and turning around without a trace.

Worthy of being a Level 5 master, Xiao Rui showed admiration. He is still at Level 2 now. Although I always look for opportunities to train and fight against Li Yuanfang to improve his combat effectiveness, his progress is still slow. It will take a while.

   half an hour later.

   Li Yuanfang came back.

   He shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, there is nothing in that house!"

   "Nothing?" Xiao Rui was taken aback, and Jia Xu looked at each other.

Li Yuanfang nodded and explained: "When I first arrived at the house, I felt very quiet, it was pitch black, and there was no movement. I listened carefully and there was no time to breathe. So after testing with stones, I made sure that there was no one in the house, and I went in. The house is still deserted, and the house is also in dilapidated condition. A few days ago, it was because of heavy snow that the bedroom house on the right was crushed. In Xicheng District, this kind of house is very common. It is too dark and I didn’t dare to make a fire to take a closer look. So quickly come back and report to your Highness."

   "His Royal Highness, could it be that the person was tracking the wrong person?" Li Yuanfang asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Tian Ergeng looks very clever. He said that he saw Wei Dabao get off the carriage and entered the house. There should be no vacation. Yuanfang, you will come with me later, and wait for the curfew. Go later."

   "Good!" Li Yuanfang responded.

At the end of   hai, there was a curfew in the capital, and the patrol camp began to patrol the street.

   Xiao Rui also put on a night clothes, and under the leadership of Li Yuanfang, went to the destination. Just in time, Xiao Rui also took the opportunity to learn night walking skills from Li Yuanfang, and Li Yuanfang gave it to him, which also benefited Xiao Rui a lot.

   came to this house, the two went over the wall and entered.

   This is an ordinary house, facing south and north, and the main house on the north side. There are wing rooms on the east and west sides.

   Xiao Rui entered the main house. In the middle was the main hall. The east house was the bedroom. As expected, the upper part of the bedroom was crushed by the heavy snow and a big hole broke.

   "Yuanfang, light up the lamp." Xiao Rui said.

   Li Yuanfang took out the torch and lit the torch he was carrying. The fire illuminates the room, and the two immediately noticed the problem.

   If it is really a deserted house, the ground should be dusty except for the mess, but now, there are some footprints on the ground, extending from the main hall into the west room.

   Xiao Rui immediately followed the footprints into the west room, and saw that the footprints came directly to the bed and stopped.

   The bed was messy, full of debris.

   "It seems that Tian Ergeng did not follow the wrong track, and Wei Dabao did enter this house too!" Xiao Rui smiled.

   "But there is nothing here?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion.

   Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Yuanfang, are you sure?"

   Li Yuanfang looked at the bed in front of him, and suddenly reacted, then pointed to the bed and said, "His Royal Highness, you mean..."

   Xiao Rui nodded, and said, "Wei Dabao is cunning, how can his secret vault be easily known to others? It must be hidden."

   Li Yuanfang came to the bed, this bed is a kind of cabinet bed, there is no independent four legs, under the bed is a cabinet. After Li Yuanfang inspected it, he found that the bed had a mechanism that could move the top of the bed. I want to come to the secret vault of Wei Dabao hidden inside.

   "His Royal Highness, what should I do next? I don't know where the passage under the bed leads to. Will there be many masters in ambush?" Li Yuanfang asked.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Wei Dabao loves money like fate, and his own small vault will naturally be hidden from everyone. If a lot of people are arranged to protect it, and in case of theft, wouldn't his collection be in vain? And you found out No, the footprints on the ground are all kind of official boots, so it means that only Wei Dabao has been here. So I guess, the passage under the bed leads directly to his small vault, and there is no second passage, and no People guard."

   "He is not too troublesome, why not hide in the East Factory, so there are a large number of guards guarded by the Forbidden Army." Li Yuanfang smiled.

Xiao Rui also laughed, and said, "The East Factory is not his family. If he gets smashed down one day, he won't even have the chance to take away the money. It's a waste of money for other people, so he naturally wants to hide in his own home or outside. The safest is outside. Open it, let's go in and take a look!"

   Li Yuanfang nodded, and immediately opened the mechanism, the bed board bounced up, and it turned out to be a downward passage after opening.

   Li Yuanfang took the torch, Yima immediately walked in, and Xiao Rui went in afterwards.

   Three or four meters down the stairs, it is a corridor going north. This corridor is nearly two meters high and more than one meter wide. It is made of large blue stones.

   Li Yuanfang couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, Wei Dabao repaired a small vault, such a big handwriting?"

   Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "It's not his handwriting. This tunnel has been around for many years. I don't know who built it before. He just used it as a private vault."

   The two walked along the passage for 20 to 30 meters before they came to the end. At the end was a large iron gate, which was locked.

   Li Yuanfang looked at the iron lock, and said, "The fine iron locks, unless you pry it open, it will be difficult to cut it off with a weapon."

   Xiao Rui frowned and sighed, "Then I can only come again next time and find a master unlocker."

   "Your Highness, the villain doesn't know how to unlock the lock." Li Yuanfang smiled.

   Xiao Rui glared at him, this guy would still be joking.

   Li Yuanfang took out two thin tools from his arms, fiddled with them for a while, and actually opened the iron lock. Then he opened the door and the two entered.

  Who knows, there is a staircase inside the iron gate.

   Xiao Rui and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, thinking that there was a treasure house behind the iron gate.

   The two of them walked up the stairs and came to the top. Li Yuanfang quietly opened the covered wooden board, revealing a gap. Only when the outside was dark and there was no sound of breathing, he lifted the wooden board and walked out.

  The light of the torch illuminates this space instantly, and the surrounding environment is clear at a glance.

   This is also a secret room, why is it called a secret room, because he has no door, no window, only a very small ventilation window. And looking at the structure of the secret room, it should have been sealed up later.

   Xiao Rui calculated the distance, and was surprised to find that his current position was exactly on the north side of the dilapidated house, and there was only one house between the two positions.

   So, this is a secret room built between two houses? What is it for?

  Xiao Rui wondered~www.wuxiahere.com~ However, he couldn't help wondering next, because he found that Li Yuanfang had opened the box beside it, which was full of gold and silver jewelry and silver tickets!

   got rich!

   "His Royal Highness, there are at least a million taels inside!" Li Yuanfang looked around and said in shock.

Xiao Rui laughed: "Normal! When the East Factory was not established, Wei Dabao was in charge of the Inner Court. It was a fat man. Later, when the East Factory was established, he became the manager of the East Factory. It seemed that the fat man was less. , But not decreasing but increasing! No one should honor him! People who copy their homes two or three times make a living."

   "His Royal Highness, do you want to call someone to remove all the money?" Li Yuanfang asked.

   Xiao Rui looked at this secret room. It was difficult to break open from the inside or the outside with a single or two manpower, and could only be moved away through this passage. but...

   Xiao Rui asked: "Yuanfang, do you know our purpose of moving the Wei Dabao treasury?"

   "His Royal Highness is short of money!" Li Yuanfang said straightforwardly.

"Uh, this is one of the small reasons. As long as he is still filled with despair and sorrow when he sees his money is lost, he is then asked to help the poor with dirty hands and feet, so that Wei Zhongxian will grab one of his handles. "Xiao Rui asked.

   Li Yuanfang nodded.

   Xiao Rui said again: "But now, I have a better idea. Go, let's go back first."

   Li Yuanfang pointed at the silver notes and jewelry in the box, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Don't get some?"

   "Don't worry, don't worry." Xiao Rui was also a little moved, and she resisted and left.
