Chapter 243 Making money
"That's a lot of money."
Ye Jintang looked at the gold bricks and silver brick walls in the space and couldn't help laughing.
Noble Consort Dehui was also very powerful. The treasury only contained gold and silver, nothing else.
Just as she expected, the entire treasury contained a total of 2146 million taels of gold and silver, of which more than 500 million taels were gold.
She simply couldn't believe where Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had plundered so much gold, more than 500 million taels, which was probably more than the gold in the national treasury.
No wonder in the original novel, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui easily helped Xiao Yi, that fool, to the throne. It seemed like she spent a lot of money to get him.
With so much silver, let alone Xiao Yi, even the young and ignorant Ninth Prince could become emperor.
Looking at the empty boxes left in the vault, Ye Jintang had some malicious thoughts, wondering if Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would be so angry that she would die after finding out.
Without this money, it would be hard to say whether Xiao Yi could become emperor.
Just as Ye Jintang was about to take a closer look in the vault to see if anything was missing, she suddenly smelled an earthy smell in the air.
Following the smell, all the hairs on Ye Jintang's body stood up.
The giant python that Shi Bin and Liuli encountered was now staggering out of the dark cave.
It seemed like it was drunk, its snake head was a little disobedient and was shaking violently.
Ye Jintang screamed in his heart. Liuli even changed the dosage of the poison in the poison incense according to the giant python's body shape, for fear that the giant python was too big and the poison could not defeat it.
It now seems that the amount of Liuli added is too little, and the giant python is not completely poisoned.
"Snowball."
Ye Jintang, who was scared to death, called out softly to Xuetuan who was working hard to eat not far away.
"Meow?"
Xuetuan looked at Ye Jintang and was a little confused at first. His blood-stained claws were still pressing on the snake's vital point.
"Come here quickly."
When Ye Jintang saw the huge body of the giant python, she began to retreat. She called Xuetuan over and wanted it to run away with her.
Xuetuan's sharp claws and skilled skills in digging out snake gall are enough to deal with small poisonous snakes, but it is hard to say who will win or lose if he really goes up against such a huge python.
Even if Xuetuan really won, he would probably have to pay a heavy price.
She had already obtained the gold and silver, so there was no need to continue to fight the python.
"Meow."
When Xuetuan heard Ye Jintang calling him, he hesitated for a moment, swallowed the snake gall in one gulp, and ran towards her.
Just as Xuetuan approached Ye Jintang, it keenly discovered the presence of the giant python.
"Snowball run."
Ye Jintang yelled and ran towards the door.
After running a dozen steps, she couldn't help but look back to see if Xuetuan was catching up.
It didn't matter what he saw, Ye Jintang was so stunned that he almost fell to the ground.
I saw that Xuetuan was facing the giant python directly. The giant python opened its bloody mouth and hissed. Xuetuan was not to be outdone. He meowed, flew up and clawed at the giant python's head.
After catching the giant python, it did not want to fight and ran away immediately, but it did not run far away and kept an eye on the movements of the giant python.
Ye Jintang, who was used to seeing Xuetuan killing snakes and eating their gallbladders, could tell at a glance that Xuetuan wanted to kill the giant python and eat its gallbladder.
"Come here, Snowball."
Ye Jintang was really anxious. The snowball was so small. It was okay to kill a snake as thick as an arm, but forget it, let it fight with a giant python as thick as a human waist.
Ye Jintang was extremely anxious. Seeing that she couldn't call Xuetuan back, she had no choice but to stop.
Liuli gave her a lot of poisonous incense, and she took them all out, lit them and threw them near the giant python.
The small amount I ordered just now would have little effect on the giant python. If I add more poison incense, maybe it will be able to poison the giant python directly.
It takes some time for the poison incense to take effect, but Xuetuan can't wait any longer.
It circled the giant python several times, and finally found the right moment and bit the snake's gallbladder at the fastest speed.
The skin of such a giant python is naturally very thick. Ye Jintang was worried about Xuetuan. Could its sharp teeth break the python's skin?
Just when Ye Jintang was worried about Xuetuan, Xuetuan had already scratched many deep and shallow scars on the giant python.
The severe pain made the giant python extremely irritable. Since it couldn't catch the snowball, it attacked Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang, who was afraid of snakes, ran away. However, she was not as agile as Xuetuan. If the giant python got close to her, she would be in danger of death.
Just as Ye Jintang was anxiously trying to retreat, a roar came from the giant python behind her. She looked back and saw that Xuetuan had torn off a piece of flesh from the python's gallbladder. It was hanging tightly on the python, and it looked like it would not come down until it had bitten the python to death.
Xuetuan's fighting power far exceeded Ye Jintang's expectations. From the moment he tore off the giant python's skin, it only took him an incense stick of time. The giant python, which was so aggressive just now, fell to the ground with a bang. Xuetuan happily ate the snake gall that it liked.
"Snowball, let's go quickly."
There are two giant pythons in the vault. Now only one is dead. Who knows when the other one will come out.
Ye Jintang originally wanted to take Xuetuan away quickly, but Xuetuan was still not satisfied after eating the gall of a giant python. Not only did he not want to leave, he even sniffed around and ran towards a cave on the side.
"Snowball is back."
Ye Jintang knew exactly what the foodie Xuetuan was going to do. He hadn't eaten enough snake gall and wanted to eat the other python as well.
Watching Xuetuan's figure quickly disappear at the cave entrance, Ye Jintang felt so angry that he wanted to swear.
It was easy to tell with her toes that the cave must be full of poisonous snakes, and she didn't want to go in at all.
But she was not very confident about Xuetuan. What if he failed? She glanced at the ground under her feet and saw various poisonous snakes fainted. In a dilemma, Ye Jintang gritted her teeth and followed Xuetuan into the cave to find out what was going on.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, she smelled an unpleasant smell of blood.
She took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose and walked in.
There were no candles lit inside; all the light came from the fluorescent stones on the walls.
The entire cave was dimly lit and looked eerie and scary. Ye Jintang was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.
Everywhere her feet passed were filled with unconscious venomous snakes. She stepped on them several times, and the slippery feeling made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She thought that the cave would become darker and darker and the air would become smellier as she walked further.
But on the contrary, the deep part of the cave suddenly became bright. Xuetuan had already killed the second giant python and eaten its gall. Apparently, after killing one giant python, Xuetuan was already very experienced in killing the second one, and he ate the gall without much effort.
There were a few thick snakes around, and Xuetuan didn't want to let them go. He took out the gallbladders of each one with one claw and ate them.
There is a tall translucent ceiling in the cave, and sunlight falls from above and falls on a patch of small plants.
It was a clump of small plants, no bigger than two palms, with lush branches and leaves and strong vitality. Some red fruits the size of a fingernail could be vaguely seen on the branches.
Judging from the traces around it, the giant python should often live here among the small plants, as the surrounding areas have been polished extremely smooth by it.
The plants that could be placed here specially must not be ordinary ones. Ye Jintang put the nameless small plant into the space without even thinking about it. She could take it out and ask Master Mu what kind of plant it was later.
