Marry the crippled king and seize the kingdom with space!

However, Mo Tianyu's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the man in black robe, not giving him any chance to breathe.

Mo Tianyu was seen approaching the man in black robe quickly like a ghost, with the short sword in his hand flashing with cold light.

The man in black robe felt an invisible sense of oppression, his heart was beating wildly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He waved his weapon in panic, trying to fend off Mo Tianyu's attack.

However, Mo Tianyu's swordsmanship was like a violent storm, and every move was extremely fast and carried unparalleled momentum.

The black-robed man's defense seemed so fragile in front of him that he had almost no ability to fight back.

He didn't expect Mo Tianyu's martial arts skills to be so high. He was no match for Mo Tianyu at all.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Tianyu's dagger drew a silver arc in the air and instantly passed through the throat of the man in black robe.

Blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

The man in black robe opened his eyes wide and looked at Mo Tianyu in disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

His body slowly fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Mo Tianyu glanced at him coldly, then turned around, took Ye Zirou's hand, and quickly left the scene.

They flew to the backyard of the county government office.

However, they found a group of guards patrolling the courtyard, holding rifles and looking around vigilantly.

Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou looked at each other, both filled with confusion.

A county government office has such strict guards. Obviously there must be something fishy going on.

Mo Tianyu whispered to Ye Zirou, "The guards here are unusual, there must be something fishy going on, we must be careful."

After saying this, he signaled Ye Zirou to hide in the dark, while he quietly approached the group of guards.

He used his lightness skills and moved like a ghost, easily going behind the guard.

Just as he was about to subdue the guard, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.

Mo Tianyu immediately hid behind a nearby rockery and stared at the person who came.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade robe appeared in their sight.

He had a gloomy face and sharp eyes, and was obviously not a good person.

The middle-aged man walked up to the guards and whispered a few words. The guards immediately stood straighter and appeared more vigilant.

When Mo Tianyu saw this person, he was shocked: [It's him? ]

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle swept towards the direction where Mo Tianyu was hiding.

Mo Tianyu's heart trembled, and he pressed close to the rockery, trying not to make any noise.

The middle-aged man's gaze lingered on the rockery for a moment, as if he was doubting something, but he finally turned and left.

He walked out of the rockery carefully, and after making sure it was safe, he turned around and returned to Ye Zirou.

Ye Zirou looked at Mo Tianyu's serious expression and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you know this person?"

Mo Tianyu nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "He is Zou Tianyu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who served in Kyoto."

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Isn't that someone under Ye Hao?" Ye Zirou asked in surprise.

"That's right, but later he was dismissed for some reason. I didn't expect him to appear here." Mo Tianyu frowned, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that his coming here is not accidental. It must be arranged by someone on purpose." Ye Zirou's eyes became sharp and she analyzed.

Mo Tianyu also agreed with Ye Zirou's opinion. They looked at each other, and both had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Then, they continued to move forward carefully, passing through corridors, and finally arrived at the inner courtyard of the county government office.

In the inner courtyard room, the lights were on. Zou Tianyu was talking in a low voice with a man, looking very nervous.

Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou hid in the dark and listened carefully to their conversation.

"Are you sure the thing has been found?" the man asked in a low voice, his tone full of anxiety and urgency.

"It's absolutely true." Zou Tianyu replied with a hint of pride in his tone.

"In that case, I will return to Beijing to report immediately, and you just wait for my notification." The man nodded slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, sir." Zou Tianyu nodded respectfully.

Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou carefully hid in the dark, observing Zou Tianyu's every move.

Zou Tianyu was obviously very cautious. He first carefully checked whether anyone was following him, and then quietly left the room.

After making sure it was safe, he quickly slipped out through the back door.

Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and decided to continue following Zou Tianyu.

They followed closely, not daring to make any sound for fear of being discovered.

The two followed Zou Tianyu all the way to a remote corner of the county government office, where there was a tightly closed back door.

Zou Tianyu looked around nervously, and after making sure that there was no one around, he carefully opened the back door and slipped in.

Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou waited patiently outside. After a while, they saw Zou Tianyu come out again.

After Zou Tianyu left, they made sure there was no other movement around and quietly walked into the back door.

Inside was an abandoned room that looked like it had been deserted for a long time and was filled with an old smell.

However, the careful Ye Zirou soon discovered something wrong.

She whispered to Mo Tianyu: "Tianyu, you see there is not much dust here, which means that people should walk around here frequently."

Mo Tianyu nodded and walked over. He gently pushed an ornament in the corner, and suddenly, a hidden door slowly opened.

The two looked at each other, excitement surged in their hearts, and Mo Tianyu took Ye Zirou and walked into the door carefully.

The secret room was filled with all kinds of gold, silver, treasures, jewellery, and precious antiques and calligraphy and paintings. These treasures were obviously beyond the scope of what a county government could possess.

Looking at the mountains of wealth in front of them, Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou couldn't help but feel confused.

"The total amount of these properties must be tens of millions of taels! It is really shocking that a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue could embezzle so much money." Ye Zirou sighed.

"I think there must be other forces supporting this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Mo Tianyu speculated.

"What did they just talk about?"

Ye Zirou thought about the conversation she had just heard in the dark, and felt that something was wrong.

Mo Tianyu shook his head.

"Could the person behind him also be that dog emperor?" Ye Zirou guessed.

"It doesn't look like it." Mo Tianyu said in a deep voice.

"Could it be Ye Hao?"

"Ye Hao probably doesn't have this ability, otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with the prince in the first place."

Ye Zirou nodded, indicating that she agreed with Mo Tianyu's statement.
