One touch and one silence

Chapter 146 Sleepless Night

Prince Zhennan looked at these people. They were indeed smart, had the means, and had sinister strategies, but they were terribly afraid of death. If it weren't for the fact that they did have some brains, they would have been killed by him long ago.

"That's enough for today, you guys can go back now!"

Prince Zhennan left after saying this.

The other people did not stay and left the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

As soon as they walked out of the tunnel and out of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, they asked directly after holding back the words they had said all the way.

"Brother Lu, aren't you afraid that the prince will do the same to us one day?"

The aide named Lu looked around vigilantly.

"Do you want to die? Why are you asking this here?" His tone was extremely low and his voice was full of rebuke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guy looked around quickly, frightened.

"Remember, we are all in the same boat now. For the prosperity of our family, even if we die, it is worth it."

From the power of the dragon!

What a desirable thing that is! But they forget that those who follow the dragon all have bad endings.

"Oh! I'm afraid it will be the same as that one!"

The other man suddenly sighed.

They are well aware of the principle of "the dog is cooked after the deer is dead".

"You all know, if Lord Cao's family really revealed something, who do you think would die?"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

The other person was so angry, "He..."

"Leave now! What Brother Lu said makes sense!"

They are all participants in the treasury's silver. If something really happens, I'm afraid none of them can escape.

Now I hope that all the evidence has been dealt with.

Several people dispersed and disappeared into the night.

No one expected that the secret passage of the Zhennan Palace led directly to South Street, a shop where few people visited.

It was another sleepless night tonight, and the lights in the study of the East Palace were on all night.

Qin Feng had been searching for clues in the silver vault, but they had not found any secret passages or the like.

However, Qin Feng's sharp eyes discovered some fine powder.

He squatted down and pressed it twice with his hands. It was actually hard. He put the torch closer and took the thing off the ground.

There was actually some powder underneath, probably because the previous person didn't check it carefully.

He carefully put the powder into the handkerchief he carried with him and stuffed it into his arms.

What exactly is this powder? How did it get into the silver vault?

He then looked at other places and found that there was a small amount of powder there.

Until he reached the last silver vault, there was still half of the official silver left in it.

The silver started to disappear from the inside, so it looked like nothing was missing from the outside. If you didn't look up and carefully, you couldn't see the top, and there was nothing behind the silver.

Qin Feng looked at this area. He thought that people must have walked here in a hurry, so there should be some clues here.

Qin Feng held the torch and explored carefully, when suddenly he stepped on something.

I squatted down and picked it up, and found that it was actually a tiny piece of silver.

The silver is very new and has traces of cutting.

Could it be that those people cut the silver into pieces and took it out?

impossible?

The security of the treasury is extremely strict, with layer upon layer of security. It is impossible that everyone is involved, right?

How did they get it out?

It is impossible to put it on. They come in every day and someone watches them change their clothes, including shoes and socks, which are checked by special people.

They come in naked and change into special clothes in the warehouse. When they are off duty, they take off all their clothes before leaving.

So where are they hiding?

Qin Feng was puzzled.

He carefully packed the small piece of silver together with the powder.

Went to the vault again.

He went straight to check where he stole half of it from the vault.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing and his eyes were almost blind.

Everything I see is yellow.

In the prison, there were constant screams and pleas for mercy.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as purgatory.

Yuan Wuqing watched this scene without being moved or showing any mercy, for he knew how serious the consequences would be.

These people were able to take all the silver out of the vault quietly, so it must be a large-scale operation.

Twelve silver vaults!

Only one treasury was left.

What a terrible thing this is.

He suddenly missed the Seventh Prince.

"How is it? Did anyone speak up?" Yuan Wuqing asked.

The result was the bailiffs shaking their heads.

They all seem to be tough, so they must have some confidence. What kind of confidence?

Yuan Wuqing paused, "Go! Capture all their family members and bring them here!"

Yuan Wuqing was referring to a few warehouse soldiers with higher positions.

"I just don't believe it. They are so stubborn!"

"Dog officer!"

"How could you do this? Don't let your wife and children suffer!"

The one closest to Yuan Shaoqing was beaten and covered in blood, and he heard something that frightened him.

"Why can't I do this? Since you won't tell me, then I have no choice but to invite your parents, wives and children to come."

Yuan Wuqing's cold tone made those people even more frightened.

In fact, they were also afraid at the beginning and sent all their family members away.

But as a year passed, nothing happened, so they brought their wives and children back with them, planning to send them away at the last moment.

I stayed there for more than 20 years.

Unexpectedly, he was caught suddenly.

"Take the booklet and go find the Jinwu Guards. They will naturally help you."

After saying that, Yuan Shaoqing sat aside, drinking tea, and watching those people being executed.

"Dog officer!"

"Bah! The people are praising you as a good official. I think you are just a dog official who doesn't care about human lives and takes human lives lightly."

It was the first time that Yuan Shaoqing heard someone scold him. After serving as an official for so many years, he was praised wherever he went.

He felt a little uncomfortable being scolded suddenly and wanted to laugh even more.

He stole money from the national treasury, and you still call him a dog official? Haha...

"You still know the people?"

"Then do you know whose silver you took? It is the silver that saved the lives of the millions of people you mentioned."

"Why didn't you think of the people when you took it?"

"Ah! Now you're trying to argue with me about the good officials. It seems that I didn't beat them hard enough. They still have the energy to talk. Come on! Rub some salt on their wounds!"

Yuan Wuqing's words echoed throughout the prison. Some people lowered their heads in shame and said nothing, while some people still clenched their teeth, afraid, but still, vowed not to speak.

This matter cannot be told. If it is told, it will not only be a matter of death, but also the death of nine generations of my clan!

"I advise you to speak quickly! The city gates have been closed for a long time. From the moment you were captured, I'm afraid it would be difficult for your family members to escape!"

"I promise you that if you confess the truth and explain how you stole the silver from the treasury, I will plead for you in front of His Majesty, and at least I will not implicate your relatives."

"This case is of great importance. I'm sure you all know that it's not too much to execute all nine generations of your clan! Then who did you use the money you stole with so much effort for in the end?"

"You are not so naive as to think that the master behind you will come to save you!"

"I'm afraid what you're waiting for is your master's murder!"

Yuan Wuqing paused here and looked at the reactions of the prisoners.

These people were really stubborn. He had been up all night, but they didn't say a word.

The only time I cursed him was when I talked about their families.

Now it seems the only way is to start with their families.

He wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
