When Emperor Xu ascended the throne in front of his spirit, he needed to inform heaven and earth. The Ministry of Internal Affairs informed him that one of the five-color rice was missing, so he requested to enter the private storehouse, Zhengqi Pavilion, to get the five-color rice.

The procedures for opening the warehouse are very cumbersome, requiring multiple officials to be present to monitor, and everyone entering and leaving the warehouse must be searched.

When the warehouse is closed, the on-site officials sign together and then put a seal on the lock.

When the officials removed the seal and opened the door of the warehouse with the key, the first official who entered was almost frightened to death. Then, the second and third officials came in, and they were all scared to death!

It was completely empty. After entering, the officials quickly checked and found that everything from the second floor to the third floor underground was emptied!

Emperor Xu was so angry that he was jumping up and down. Those were all his private property!

Fortunately, the thief didn't know better and only stole things from the Zhengqi Pavilion. Although it was painful, those things were worthless to Emperor Xu. The reason why he saved those things was just in case the royal family needed to save their lives when they escaped one day.

Even if it wasn't stolen, the food would not taste good after being stored for more than a year, so he would have to replace all of it by then.

But what kind of thief could carry away so many items without anyone noticing? It seems that the palace needs to be cleaned up.

At this moment, another official came running in, panting, "Qingfeng Pavilion, Qingfeng Pavilion, everything was robbed, too!"

"What?!" Emperor Xu kicked over the official who came to report the news!

"It's useless. If you can't find anything, all your property will be confiscated!"

At this time, in the slums of the people, a steward-like figure asked a group of little beggars, "Have you memorized the ballad I asked you to memorize?"

"My Lord, I know it all by heart!"

"These buns are for you. Go around the streets and sing songs wherever there are many poor people. I will bring you more buns at this time tomorrow."

The most popular storyteller in the taverns in the capital is now "The Stellar Change", which tells the world when the apocalypse will come in ten months. Dong dong clang, dong dong clang, my dear guests, listen to me tell you about the greatest change ever seen in history, an earth-shaking tale of extreme climate in the apocalypse.

It is said that in the last days, the heavens sent down a plague of locusts, and the people did not repent. As a result, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the earth could not support all creatures. An unprecedented extreme catastrophe swept the earth. Is this the will of heaven? Or is it a man-made disaster? Let me tell you one by one.

It is said that in those days, spring was not warm, summer was extremely hot, autumn was not cool, winter was extremely cold, the four seasons were out of order, and the celestial phenomena changed abnormally...

Emperor Xu has been in disguise for more than twenty years, and finally he doesn't have to pretend to be a filial prince anymore. He has only been on the throne for a few days, and his coronation ceremony hasn't been held yet. First, his private treasury was robbed, and now the apocalyptic ballad of Star Change is circulating among the people.

At this time, officials from the Imperial Observatory came to report. They usually don't come, but if they come, it's not an ordinary matter.

"Your Majesty, I have been observing the celestial phenomena continuously and I believe that there will be uncontrollable phenomena in ten months! I am afraid, I am afraid..."

"What will happen?" Emperor Xu suppressed his anger and waited for what was to come.

"I'm afraid the end of the world is coming, order will collapse, natural disasters will occur, lives will be destroyed, and human beings will be on the verge of extinction!"

"He is spreading rumors to confuse the people! Someone, take him down and put him in jail!"

An official from the Ministry of Rites came to ask Emperor Xu to let the women who were crying at the funeral go back first. "Let them all go back! Nothing goes well for them every day!"

As the inner treasury was stolen, all the female members of the family had to leave the palace. Su Yuejian was about to slip away in the chaos, but a man grabbed Su Yuejian by the hand. Su Yuejian fought back, "It's me!"

Nangong Li quickly took Su Yuejian away from the place of trouble.

Emperor Xu originally wanted to call the Tiqi Guard, but the Tiqi Guard were his father's minions, and he did not dare to trust them completely.

The most urgent task is to recover the stolen vault of Qingfeng Pavilion!

That was his greatest reliance and also the reward for his hard work in keeping the position of crown prince.

If there is no slush fund, what is the point of having the throne?

As for the Imperial Observatory's prophecy of the end of the world, he didn't believe it at all. He hated this person for having to come and cause trouble for him!

For Nangong Xu, what he needs is someone who is both reliable and loyal, and willing to be his knife.

Who meets these conditions?

Eunuchs who have no children and no social connections are the most suitable.

Chen Ming had already become the eunuch in charge of writing before Emperor Jinghuang Qiyuan's death.

The documents he drafted were most highly praised by the previous dynasty.

He needed another special agency that belonged entirely to him, so Nangong Xu summoned the eunuch Chen Ming, who was in charge of writing, and asked him to serve as the supervisor of the Xuan Jing Division, and set up a secret agency of 10,000 people to monitor all officials.

The first thing the new official did after taking office was to thoroughly investigate the theft in the inner treasury!

It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go!

Speaking of ruthlessness, Nangong Xu perfectly inherited the genes of his father, Emperor Qiyuan.

Chen Ming accepted the order and agreed.

Chen Ming rolled his eyes after leaving the palace. The best is yet to come, so just wait and see.

Over there, Nangong Li brought Su Yuejian to Lanyue Tower, which was closest to her home and was also one of his usual bases.

"You can see the back door of my house from here! So, wouldn't you be able to see me working at the clinic from here?"

"You just knew? You ignored me then, and I missed you. I could only sit here on the second floor, looking at your courtyard. You came out at 7 p.m. in the morning and went back at 5 p.m. in the evening."

It was impossible for Su Yuejian not to be moved. This man had contributed more than her in this relationship.

"What happened in the palace that we don't even need to continue the mourning?"

"The emperor's private treasury has been robbed! The palace is in chaos now! The gates of the capital are also closed. I guess there will be chaos for a while."

"Have you stockpiled anything? I'm worried that the emperor will send people to search the whole city."

"Don't worry, the things I stockpiled are not in the capital. They can't find anything.

I have sent people to spread the ballad you mentioned last time among the people. I believe that everyone will know it soon.

But once Emperor Xu has recovered, he will definitely ban the spread of the virus. Before that, I will move the spreader away."

"Please help me keep an eye on the progress of the theft. I can probably stay in the capital for another month."

"Then Yueyue, you can come here to see me during the day. This way I will be closer to you."

" good."

"Emperor Qiyuan originally agreed to give me a fiefdom, but he suddenly passed away, and now the matter has been shelved.

I will look for another chance.”

"If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, take all your strength and leave.

It would be best to build a base close to Zhongli so that we can look after each other."

" good."

After the two of them had discussed it, they went their separate ways.

Su Yuejian thought about the eldest princess, the Qi family, Sun Jing and others. They were all people with huge wealth, and the end of the world would not threaten their safety.

Moreover, the prophecy of the end of the world will soon be known to everyone, and those who believe will naturally hoard it, and it will be useless to persuade those who do not believe it.

As for her cousin Wang’s family, although she now knows that the Wang family is not her real in-laws, but because of Wang Wenjun’s relationship, Su Yuejian still decided to go there tomorrow!
