Chapter 341 Mission 23: General's Orphan 12

The new emperor was stunned at first. That girl really did it. Look how angry Prime Minister Xie was.

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was not happy with this. "Prime Minister Xie, isn't the security of your Xie Mansion our responsibility? Are the guards, servants, and servants of the Xie Mansion all just freeloaders? We couldn't even catch the thief who broke into the mansion, scattered your belongings, and made several trips back and forth throughout the night, yet your guards couldn't catch him. It's possible that someone in your Xie family is secretly in cahoots with her."

The commander of the patrolling city guards said hurriedly, "The men in black are coming in and out of your Xie Mansion as if they were strolling through the streets. Who knows if they are your children and grandchildren who practice martial arts?"

"No matter how much defense you take, it's hard to prevent a thief from within your home. A thief from within your home is not under the control of the government."

Prime Minister Wang made sarcastic remarks.

It is really gratifying that Xie’s mansion was robbed.

I don’t know what the thief stole.

Wen Wan was busy all night and slept at home during the day.

She went through all the stolen items and kept all the objects with spiritual energy and energy. The ones without spiritual energy were sent to Fengyiyuan in the Xianwang Mansion for storage.

It was so satisfying to steal on orders from the emperor. She loved doing this kind of thing the most. Moreover, she was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor and the wise king, and she could intercept some silver bills and bring them back.

She didn't wake up until noon.

Aunt Lian asked the aunt in the kitchen to cook her favorite food.

Gongsun Dan came over slowly, holding a goose feather fan in his hand.

Mei Zi understood and took a few maids to the back garden to play.

"How much did you get last night?"

Wen Wan raised three fingers.

"Three million taels of silver?"

Wen Wan shook her head, "Guess higher."

Gongsun Dan paused for a moment, "Thirty million taels?"

Wen Wan shook her head again.

Gongsun Dan stood up suddenly: "Three hundred million taels..."

The Xie family is a prominent family in the capital, and has existed since the previous dynasty.

Wen Wan nodded slightly, "I was busy all night last night and only managed to move out 100% of it."

"Wouldn't the back be difficult to move?"

"It's not difficult. As long as I see it, I can steal it if I want. No matter where they hide it, I can find it. As for the method, I can't tell you, sir."

Prime Minister Xie was now furious, thinking that only the open warehouse had been stolen, and the underground treasure house that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Xie family and accumulated for more than ten generations had been emptied out, leaving nothing behind. What kind of thief was this? Even if the Imperial Guards had raided the house, it would have taken nearly a thousand people to empty it, and they emptied it all out in one night.

Prime Minister Xie was so angry that he fell ill.

The women didn't know that the treasure house in the underground palace had been robbed, and they thought that some valuable things were lost from the big warehouse and that they were so angry that they fell ill.

At nightfall the next day, because Prime Minister Xie's residence was robbed, Prime Minister Wang specifically called on his guards and servants to keep a close eye on the matter.

Wen Wan sneaked into Prime Minister Wang's residence before dark and disguised herself as a servant.

The disguise technique is from the Wuqi Sect, and the disguise is quite similar.

After everyone had left, she sneaked into Prime Minister Wang's small study in the backyard. There was also a secret room underneath the study, which was filled with rare treasures. After she helped Prime Minister Wang practice calligraphy, she waited for him to leave before sneaking into the basement and clearing out all of his private collection. When she left, she went to the large warehouse in the open and picked out the valuables.

At dawn, she carried a large bag into Prince Xian's mansion.

This time, all the rooms in Fengyiyuan, big and small, were filled.

When she left, she threw a note to the head guard of the Xianwang Mansion: "The warehouse is full, clean it out!"

When the wise king went to check, he saw notes left in every storeroom with "Xie" or "Wang" stamped on them. The Xie family's treasures occupied twelve rooms, the Wang family's occupied three rooms, and there was a small mountain of jewels, gold and silver in the yard.

"A parasite of the state, a drain on the people's blood and sweat..."

The virtuous prince looked at the treasures in the courtyard and was speechless. There was too much money.

The virtuous king sent someone to tell the emperor, and that night the royal guards came and took away box after box of property in a mighty procession. The rare treasures went into the private vaults of the emperor and the empress dowager, and all the gold and silver went into the national treasury.

When the Queen Mother heard about the huge fortune, she cursed, "Outrageous!"

"But these two cannot be touched, especially the Xie family. They have followers all over the world. Who would have thought that just from this family, 300 million taels of silver could be found, enough to cover ten years of taxes and tributes for the national treasury."

Prime Minister Wang’s residence was also robbed.

He was laughing at Prime Minister Xie yesterday, but now he is in trouble too. It is true that one should not laugh at others.

All the important officials in the court became alert, but Wen Wan had decided to visit all the remaining ten families in one go on the third night. She had a system space, and if she was caught, she would hide in the space immediately. Before going out, she disguised herself as a thin old man, and went from the Minister of Personnel's Mansion to the Director and Director of the Imperial Hospital, and finally to the Mansion of the Minister of Dali Temple. This family was really poor, and there was nothing in the warehouse except some commonly used medicinal materials and food, not even a tael of silver.

Too poor!

He was so poor that even Wen Wan couldn't bear to see him.

Wen Wan suddenly had an idea and left 30,000 taels of silver in the storehouse of this family, and also left a note: "The people are good officials, and I give you 30,000 taels of silver! The thief saint left a message."

She got so much silver that she went to the slums of the capital at night and distributed silver door to door. She gave twenty taels to some and five taels to some. In one night, she gave out 50,000 taels of silver.

Overnight, a "King of Thieves" appeared in the capital, robbing the rich to help the poor and doing justice.

There were 30,000 taels of silver extra in the Dali Temple's treasury, but he didn't dare touch it. The next day, he carried several large boxes to the court to donate them to the national treasury.

New King: I am not short of money now. That girl is too good at stealing. I don’t know why, but the information they gave her seems to be of little use to her.

Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Xie looked at these boxes of silver and both felt that they had lost them, but they did not dare to admit it in the court.

The new monarch said: "My dear Yuan, since it is a gift from the Thief Saint, you should keep it and use it to buy land and shops. It can be used as a dowry for your wife and a betrothal gift for your son's future marriage."

The Dali Temple Minister was a little slow to react, "Your Majesty, this..."

When the list was drawn up, the emperor and the wise king deliberately mixed in an honest official in it. They wanted to test the girl's reaction. Unexpectedly, this girl gave the Dali Temple Minister 30,000 taels of silver, and this person did not dare to accept it and sent it to the court.

The virtuous king said, "Legend has it that the Thief Saint is a disciple of a hermit master. His ways are unconventional. Once he sets his sights on something, there's nothing he can't get. If he offers it to you, accept it. Follow the emperor's instructions and use it as your wife's dowry, your son's betrothal gift, and your daughter's future dowry."

Thirty thousand taels! The Dali Temple Minister had never seen so much silver.

The Dali Temple Minister thanked the new emperor and had several boxes of silver carried back home. He then bought farmland and shops in the capital and added a small house with two courtyards. The house his family lives in now was a reward from the emperor.

He came from a poor family, and his wife was the daughter of his mentor. They were both ordinary people and had always lived a poor life in the capital.

Last night, in the slums of the capital, every family received silver from the Thief Saint. Every family was very happy. Those who were sick had money to treat their illnesses, those who were short of food had money to buy food, and a few families who were ready to sell their children received the most, reportedly fifty taels of silver.
