Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine
Chapter 297 Who asked those old guys to be so stingy on weekdays?
The next morning, just after daybreak, the faint light of morning light had not yet completely dispelled the night sky of the capital, but the entire imperial city had been shrouded in an unprecedented shock.
In the streets and alleys of the capital, people were whispering and talking about everything. The reason was simply that just last night, the residences of several important officials in the capital suffered an unprecedented disaster.
The storerooms of these mansions were looted and the gold, silver and treasures stored inside disappeared.
The most eye-catching thing was the miserable state of Qian's mansion. You know, Qian's mansion was the richest man in the imperial city, but it was also looted overnight.
Not only was the Qian Mansion's storehouse completely emptied by the thieves, but other places in the mansion were not spared either.
Whether it was antique calligraphy and paintings, or gold and silver jewelry, as long as it was worth a little money, it was all looted clean.
What is even more shocking is that even the master of the Qian family mysteriously disappeared in this catastrophe, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace at all.
The news first spread when a servant from the Qian residence went to the Jingzhao government office to report the case, and then it spread quickly throughout the imperial city like a storm.
The news spread so quickly that it became a hot topic among people and a talking point on the streets.
In the early morning hours, the sun shines on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, reflecting a warm glow.
However, at this moment, the court was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere, as if a storm was about to come.
Civil and military officials were neatly lined up in two teams. The court, which was usually dignified and solemn, seemed a little flustered today because of this sudden change.
The ministers whose warehouses were robbed had gloomy faces and walked forward with worry, crying to Emperor Chu Tianlong, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, about what had happened in their own mansions.
Their words were filled with resentment and helplessness towards the thieves, and they hoped that the emperor would send troops to search the entire city for them.
Emperor Chu Tianlong sat quietly on the dragon throne, his face stern and his eyes sharp, like a lion, exuding unparalleled majesty.
He said nothing, but listened silently to the ministers' cries, but deep in his heart, unknown waves were surging.
Recalling the days before, the North City suffered an unprecedented snowstorm, and the people were living in misery. In order to provide relief to the disaster area, Emperor Chu Tianlong had repeatedly called on court officials to donate generously to tide over the difficulties together.
However, the ministers at that time refused to lend a helping hand, citing financial constraints in their respective mansions as an excuse.
Now that the treasury has been robbed, these ministers have the nerve to come to him one by one to cry and complain. It's really ridiculous!
There was a cold flash in Emperor Chu Tianlong's eyes. He sat on the dragon throne and scanned the people in the court with a sharp gaze.
At this time, Eunuch Su on the side quietly stepped forward, bent over, lowered his head, and whispered a few words carefully in Chu Tianlong's ear.
After hearing this, Chu Tianlong's face changed instantly, and his originally majestic expression was instantly replaced by shock.
He widened his eyes, and a gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes, as if he had heard something shocking.
Eunuch Su told him that the national treasury had become extremely full overnight, with mountains of gold, silver and jewelry inside.
Chu Tianlong's eyes quickly swept around the court. At this time, the ministers in the court began to talk about it. They were very puzzled by Chu Tianlong's reaction.
Some people even began to speculate with each other, trying to find out the truth behind this mysterious incident.
Chu Tianlong raised a meaningful smile and said slowly, "Shut up! Your house was robbed, what's the point of crying in front of me? Jingzhao government has its own responsibilities, let them investigate thoroughly."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.
The ministers looked at each other, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were secretly guessing the emperor's true intentions. The whole court fell into chaos, and everyone was thinking about what Chu Tianlong's words meant.
Chu Tianlong said no more, but just waved his hand gently, signaling to adjourn the court.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Su immediately shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
As Eunuch Su finished speaking, Chu Tianlong stood up and strode away.
"Farewell to the Emperor..." Then all the ministers left the hall one after another, but everyone's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness.
They began to discuss privately, trying to find clues from this series of events.
Chu Tianlong's steps became more and more hurried as he passed through layers of palace gates, until the heavy door slowly opened and he stepped into the treasury. The scene before him made him stop and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The national treasury, which was empty yesterday, is now filled with countless gold, silver and jewels, which are dazzling and dazzling.
It is really unbelievable that these treasures appeared out of nowhere and the storehouses of those ministers' mansions were stolen overnight.
Eunuch Su followed closely behind Chu Tianlong. When he saw the pile of gold in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look shocked. "Your Majesty, why do I feel that this pile of gold is not right? It looks like it has been specially processed." Eunuch Su said puzzledly.
When Chu Tianlong heard this, his brows slightly frowned, his eyes fixed on the pile of gold, and he slowly walked over to observe it carefully.
When he saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. It turned out that these golds were specially processed and melted into huge gold nuggets. This method was simple and crude, but unique.
Chu Tianlong thought to himself, overnight, so many ministers' residences and warehouses were robbed, and it was in the heavily guarded palace. Who did it? He already had the answer in his mind - Jun Feimo.
This war king who came all the way from Dongyang State possessed extraordinary strength and wisdom, and was able to complete the theft without alerting anyone.
"Jun Feimo..." Chu Tianlong murmured softly.
"Someone, come and take all this gold to the gold foundry, have it melted again, and then carefully reforged." Chu Tianlong said calmly.
He knew very well that if he didn't do this, it would probably cause even greater trouble. After all, this matter was not a trivial matter, and if it was not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous.
Besides, this is just a small punishment, because those old guys are so stingy on weekdays. Humph, they deserve it!
"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the order, the group quickly took action.
Chu Tianlong slowly walked out of the heavy door of the treasury and headed towards Zhaoyang Palace.
As soon as he entered Zhaoyang Palace, he felt a warm atmosphere. Inside the palace, Chu Zixi, Jun Feimo and their adopted son Jun Bai were sitting around a table eating breakfast. The happy family looked very warm.
