The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"This... Your Highness, there must be some mistake here. All the accounts here are in the books and can be verified..." Governor Yuan tried to refute.

"Just accept what your highness says, Lord Yuan. Please don't be ungrateful." Lou Jian's sword was cold as it cut the flesh on Governor Yuan's neck.

"I will present it to you immediately. Your Highness, I will order someone to fill the gap immediately!" A sharp pain rushed to his head. No one is not afraid of death, and Governor Yuan is even more afraid of death.

He wanted to argue and refuse a few times, but he understood it now. The prince came here just like a robber to demand money. No matter if there is an account or not, if he wants to live, he must hand over the money.

The prince was following the emperor's orders, how dare he disobey and face the crime?

The sword was withdrawn, and Governor Yuan touched the blood oozing from his neck. He immediately raised his hand and asked his subordinates to go to the warehouse to fetch silver.

Soon, a box of white silver bars was carried up by two subordinates. Gold and silver were indeed pleasing to the eye. You Mu stood up, took a piece from the open wooden box, placed it in his palm and took a look, then said faintly, "Not enough."

"…Your Highness, the missing amount in your account…is…is! I will make it up right away! I will make it up right away!"

Governor Yuan subconsciously wanted to refute, saying that he had been a local emperor in Tongzhou for a long time, but he had never felt so aggrieved. But when he heard the sound of the sword blade coming out of the scabbard and thought of the scratch on his neck, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates with a smiling face to carry out another box. However, Governor Yuan secretly cursed the prince for being greedy.

Since he was so greedy, how could the prince be satisfied with just one or two boxes of silver?

"not enough."

"..."

Governor Yuan almost couldn't maintain his submissive appearance, but fortunately he was forced to regain his senses by the threat of swords.

Five large boxes of silver were placed in front of You Mu. After looking at the number and secretly estimating the expenses of maintaining the troops, You Mu nodded reluctantly.

"In this case, Governor Yuan's debt to the court has been offset. In addition, the journey is long and winding, so I will use the Governor's mansion to rest a little. Governor, you won't mind, right?"

Throwing down the silver, the prince ordered Lou Jian to close the box. He smiled faintly, his eyes full of intimidation.

"Of course... I don't mind." Governor Yuan begged for mercy. As soon as he finished speaking, he was dragged out by the prince's personal guards.

Only Lou Jian and You Mu were left in the room.

Pointing to a box of silver beside him, You Mu said, "Later, divide half of this box and have Xun Yancheng escort it back to Kyoto."

You always have to be perfunctory with the emperor.

"As for the rest..." You Mu turned around and looked at Lou Jian. "Ah Jian, do you still remember what I taught you?"

Lou Jian held the prince's hand on the box and thought carefully, remembering that the prince had once taught him the most secret method of transporting gold and silver.

"My brother once said that gold and silver are the most coveted things. If you want to send a large amount of gold and silver safely, you need to spread it out, conceal it from others, and do it secretly."

It was exactly the same as what he had taught before. The prince stroked Lou Jian's cheek with his fingertips, slightly satisfied, and then gave the order:

"Tonight, contact your friends in the Qinghe Sect and have them deliver these to Cangzhou in batches. Once the task is completed, there will be a large reward."

"Cangzhou...Okay." Cangzhou, located on the border, is the place where the prince's grandfather died.

Lou Jian's face was slightly solemn. He nodded seriously and started to do it.

Thinking about how long these plans would take, Lou Jian paused and turned to ask, "Brother, how long will you stay here? If we want to transport everything in batches, it will take about four days."

There was too much silver, and the amount to be transported and the intervals needed to be carefully planned so as not to be noticed by the outside world.

"Then we'll have four days to rest. Besides, we have to give some time to those who catch up with us."

Prince Yu is currently at odds with Prince Rui, and he also needs to stabilize his subordinates and factions, so he cannot leave the capital. As for those matters, the only one who can help him solve them is the veteran general Xiao Houye.

It was expected that the other party not only wanted to take this opportunity to kill him, but also wanted to go to Qinglu County under Cangzhou County to find out the truth. By the way, completely erase some traces.

Standing up, You Mu left through the side door and walked towards the backyard of the governor's mansion as if he was strolling in a garden.

The governor's mansion is not small, and its area is not inferior to those official residences in Kyoto. It seems simple at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the materials used are extremely fine, worthy of the silver and money that Lord Yuan has managed to embezzle over the years.

Perhaps he saw that the prince had no intention of punishing him, so after offering the silver, Lord Yuan felt that he was safe and came up to him to flatter him.

"Your Highness, the house has been cleaned up. You can choose any place you want to live."

"Besides, you have traveled all the way here. Why don't you do me the honor of accompanying me to Wangfulou for a drink?"

The story of the Crown Prince refusing marriage for a prostitute spread not only in Kyoto, but also in Tongzhou. Therefore, Lord Yuan thought that he could please the Crown Prince and win his favor, and maybe he could get the Crown Prince's protection in the future.

"Wangfu Tower?" You Mu turned around, casually admiring the small scenery of the rockery.

"This is a very famous Qinlou and Chuguan in the city. If Your Highness is interested, I will immediately book it for you." Seeing that there was a chance, Lord Yuan was even more eager to please.

"Then, tomorrow night."

"Yes, you take a rest first. I will prepare it right away." Lord Yuan bowed and responded, then left in a hurry from the side.

You Mu stayed at the governor's mansion for the time being, and the guards were stationed there. Yan Cheng followed his instructions and sent some men to escort half a box of silver bars back to Kyoto.

Lou Jian was secretly running around, trying to contact trusted people in the underworld to help transport the silver bars, and she suddenly became busy...
