It was dark and the road was long, so Emperor Jingming brought the three of them to the back door of the Huang Mansion where they were moving valuables.

More than a dozen horse-drawn carts were already filled with sacks and were preparing to set off under the escort of a group of guards.

Emperor Jingming only had time to take a quick look before the butler ordered the back door to be closed, completely blocking him from further prying eyes.

There was a sound of wheels outside the door. Ye Shengxin poked Emperor Jingming's arm unwillingly:

"Little duck, shall we follow?"

Emperor Jingming said nothing. He was worried that someone would come to their residence right after they left, and then there would be no point in selling oneself to enter the palace.

Besides, who knows whether these people can reach their destination before dawn, so it is better to let Hao Duanzhuang, a more convenient guy, follow them.

Seeing that Emperor Jingming didn't say anything, Ye Xingxin became anxious:

"Little Duck, Huang Changsheng is in such a hurry to transport the property, maybe this matter can only be done tonight. If we miss this opportunity, we won't be lucky enough to encounter it again in the future."

"And if we don't know where the money is going, it might just go down the drain."

Crow's mouth!

Ye Shengxin is being mean again!

Emperor Jingming was alarmed, and all hesitation and planning no longer existed. He said decisively, "Follow. We must follow."

Zhang Liang reminded with a dead face: "The wall is very high, we can't get out."

Ye Xingxin grabbed Hao Duanzhuang from Cui Luoshan's shoulders and asked directly: "Can you take us flying?"

"Don't worry about running out of energy. Once we bring down the Huang family and get the treasure, I will immediately find you a good grave with lots of Yin energy. I'll find you as much as you want to absorb."

After Ye Shengxin learned about his grandfather from Cui Luoshan, he began to paint a rosy picture for Hao Duanzhuang.

Hao Duanzhuang immediately took the bait, not caring about the energy at all, and took out a hoe from the mirror and said excitedly:

"Get on the hoe, I'll fly with you guys."

Ye Xingxin stared at the hoe and his breathing stopped: "Wait, can you hide something in this mirror?"

Hao Duanzhuang had a question mark on his forehead: "Don't you know? Don't I usually hide in there?"

Emperor Jingming thought of the large and small bags he and Ye Xingxin carried on the way to Jianghe City. He gritted his teeth, stared at the hoe and said fiercely:

"...If you have any advantages in the future, please tell us as soon as possible, don't let us ask."

Hao Duanzhuang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he said "Oh" weakly, and then said: "So you didn't see it? Isn't this quite obvious?"

"Snapped!"

Ye Xingxin slapped Hao Duanzhuang on the head and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up, we need to fly."

As she spoke, she was the first to ride on the hoe. Emperor Jingming hesitated for two breaths and followed closely behind.

After Cui Luoshan and Zhang Liang sat on it, Hao Duanzhuang wrapped the hoe with Yin energy and lifted it up fiercely.

Suddenly, except for Ye Shengxin, the expressions of Emperor Jingming and the other two became ferocious.

"hiss!"

The three of them gasped and clenched their teeth.

Ye Xingxin turned around: "What's wrong with you?"

The ministers who understood what was going on covered their lower bodies, their faces trembling slightly.

Some ministers were puzzled. What was wrong with Lady Ye? How could she not feel any pain despite such heart-wrenching pain?

why?

Someone murmured quietly: "Is it because it's so short and small?"

These words entered the ears of everyone in the silent court, and immediately, the prince's expression changed.

This shouldn’t be the case. How could Ye Shengxin, the chosen one, have such a problem?

Master Tongshan lowered his head and clasped his hands together: Amitabha, Your Majesty, one kalpa per day, you have exceeded the limit today.

Rong Anle and Rong Ping, who were at the scene, looked at each other. What should they do? Should they send some medicine to His Majesty without making any noise?

It looked like he was really in pain.

Rong Anle asked her father tentatively: "Can I have medicine for injuries or bruises? Or do I need medicine for wounds?"

"Forget about the hemostatic medicine. It shouldn't bleed, right?"

Rong Ping's forehead was full of black lines: "...Girls, don't be curious about such things!"

Ye Shengxin still didn't know what the ministers thought of her. After not getting a response for a long time, she asked again.

In the end, it was Hao Duanzhuang who took the initiative to admit his mistake:

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the flying object I chose is a bit narrow, so the ducklings got their eggs stuck."

The three pale-faced Emperor Jingming said: ...

Ye Xingxin: ...

Ye Xingxin blushed and said "Oh", and whispered: "Then remember to change to a better tool next time."

Hao Duanzhuang agreed.

-

Perhaps Ye Shengxin and his companions were lucky. They only followed Huang Changsheng for an hour and arrived at the destination where he was transporting his valuables.

——The Huang family’s ancestral tomb.

The four of them hid in a big tree nearby, looking down at the ground illuminated by torches. They were all dumbfounded as they saw Huang Changsheng ordering the guards to wield hoes and dig his ancestral grave.

Ye Xingxin asked Emperor Jingming beside him: "Is this person so unrefined?"

"And how can he be sure that these valuables won't be found by others if he disturbs his ancestors like this?"

Emperor Jingming frowned and said, "The ancestral tomb is a Feng Shui location for aristocratic families. As long as the old emperor doesn't really want to slaughter the entire Huang family, this place cannot be touched even if the emperor himself comes."

"Otherwise, not only will you be wrong, but you will also be accused of digging up someone else's ancestral graves."

"If it is not handled properly, the Huang family may even rebel with their current strength."

Ye Shengxin covered her mouth, it was so serious.

"Then this little old man is quite smart."

but--

Ye Xingxin chuckled: "What a pity, we found it. We can take it away tonight."

Hao Duanzhuang's mirror was so capable of hiding things that it saved them a lot of effort.

Emperor Jingming thought the same.

The four of them waited for more than an hour before Huang Changsheng and his guards buried the ground and evacuated.

As for the people responsible for guarding his ancestral tomb, he arranged another fifty people to come and strengthen the defense just in case.

No matter how many these people there are, it is not a problem for Hao Duanzhuang.

The black fog was rising, and none of the guards could hear any movement at the ancestral tomb.

In the newly blasted soil, Hao Duanzhuang successfully pried open the mechanism lock of the cave. With Hao Duanzhuang leading the way, Ye Shengxin and his three companions smoothly arrived at the place where Huang Changsheng stored the treasure.

There were a total of 157 sacks. Ye Shengxin excitedly opened one of them, and found it was full of palm-sized gold nuggets.

Taking a piece and weighing it in his hand, Ye Shengxin almost smiled to his death.

"Little duck, we are rich, we are very rich."

"Is this the family's heritage? Hahahaha, it's all ours."

After Emperor Jingming unpacked several sacks and checked them, he showed the most sincere smile he had in these days of amnesia:

"The money here is equivalent to two years' tax revenue of the Zhou Dynasty."

Who would have thought that a month ago he was still a man in Qingshan Village who was hungry, worried about his livelihood and in debt.

But overnight, he could get so much wealth.

Life is so wonderful.

Although Zhang Liang was happy to get so many things, but——

He had not forgotten his position as a minister, and he calmly asked Emperor Jingming: "Sir, with so much money, do we have to pay taxes?"

Emperor Jingming: ...

Ye Xingxin: ...

The two men stopped smiling and stared at Zhang Liang, which made Zhang Liang's heart beat fast.

What's the matter? Your Majesty is unwilling to pay taxes for himself?

The ministers stared at the treasures and then at His Majesty, feeling very nervous.

Your Majesty must not take the lead in doing bad things.

You should know that tax evasion in Zhou State is punishable by death!

The prince is very nervous. Father, but you can't be confused about the matter of transferring money from the left hand to the right hand!
