Chapter 242: Emptying the Treasury
"Jintang, are you hot? Wipe the sweat off your face."
Xiao Mo handed Ye Jintang a handkerchief in a very servile manner and asked her to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"Don't do such childish things again. Hiking in the hot summer can be fatal."
"Oh, I didn't think it through enough."
Xiao Mo was so focused on being alone with Ye Jintang that he forgot that it would be very hot in the mountains in the summer.
People in the capital city only thought that Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo were frightened by the haunted palace and ran to the White Horse Temple to burn incense, but they didn't know that they were experimenting with new weapons.
If Imperial Noble Consort Dehui dared to send people to attack them, those assassins would become the first batch of experimental subjects of thunder bombs.
Three days flew by.
The day that Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo had waited for so long to leave the capital finally came.
Before dawn, the palace's carriage team had already gathered in front of the palace gate. As long as Xiao Mo gave the order, they could set off.
Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang changed into gorgeous clothes early in the morning and went to the palace together to bid farewell to Emperor Jing and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
The two of them chose the time very well, just when Emperor Jing was having breakfast. They had to wait until Emperor Jing finished his breakfast before they could go in to pay their respects.
"Jintang, you only have two cups of tea. My people will take you to the location of the Imperial Concubine Dehui's vault. Xuetuan should have passed by now."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mo continued to ask, "You really don't need me to help you move the silver out of the vault?"
He was very worried because he really couldn't understand what kind of good method Ye Jintang had to transport so much silver out of the palace without anyone noticing. It didn't seem incredible just thinking about it.
"I have my own plans, so don't worry about me, Your Majesty."
Ye Jintang quickly exchanged clothes with a palace maid, put on a human skin mask, and followed a young eunuch towards the vault.
There were so many palace maids and eunuchs coming and going in the palace that no one would notice her presence at all, and the two of them arrived near the vault very smoothly.
"Miss, the entrance to the vault is behind the rockery in front. I'll wait for you here and won't go over. Be careful."
"it is good."
As soon as Ye Jintang stood up, he saw Xuetuan sleeping on the rockery.
She imitated the sound of Xuetuan and meowed.
Xuetuan, who had been sleeping soundly just now, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
Ye Jintang watched as a group of guards passed by her, and she walked quickly towards the rockery.
"Come here, Snowball."
Today she is going to brave the snake cave, and she has to rely on the snowball to give her courage.
Ever since he made up his mind to empty the treasury of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, Ye Jintang has been living with snakes every day, hoping to help her eliminate her fear of snakes.
But some things are engraved in her bones, and she still feels creepy when she sees a strange snake.
"Meow....."
Xuetuan jumped down from the rockery and landed at Ye Jintang's feet.
"You're so good. I'll give you something delicious to eat later."
As he said that, Ye Jintang walked towards the vault door.
Shi Bin and Liuli had come to visit once before. Ye Jintang opened the door swiftly and threw out the poisonous cigarette.
After two breaths, he pushed the door open and entered the vault.
Ye Jintang, who had already prepared herself mentally, couldn't help but gasp when she entered the vault and saw everything inside.
The road leading to the vault was full of poisonous snakes, big and small, thick and thin, of all kinds.
After smelling the poison, the smaller snake immediately lay on the ground motionless. The larger snake had not yet completely fainted and was struggling on the ground, making a few roars from time to time.
Ye Jintang, who was already afraid of snakes, felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet to her forehead. In this hot summer, she was frightened to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and she dared not take a step forward.
As time passed, the two little people in her heart began to struggle madly.
A villain tried his best to persuade Ye Jintang to leave the vault quickly. Even though the snakes were poisoned, if one of them was not knocked unconscious by the poison, it would be dead if it was bitten.
The other villain tried his best to persuade Ye Jintang to empty the vault quickly. There were gold and silver bricks waiting for her ahead. They were just a few small snakes. What was there to be afraid of? Just chop them one by one.
Just when Ye Jintang was having trouble making a decision, Xuetuan rushed out first.
It looked around and looked around. It didn't even look down on snakes as thick as a thumb. It would only grab a snake as thick as a wrist with its furry little paws, then find the right spot and bite out the snake's gallbladder and swallow it.
Xuetuan's movements were so agile that she was stunned.
What does she have to be afraid of when she has such a ferocious snowball?
Ye Jintang took a deep breath and strode into the vault.
Xuetuan led the way and killed snakes in all directions, which made her feel greatly relieved. She was only afraid of living snakes, not dead ones.
The man and the cat soon arrived at the vault, where they saw 12 small vaults, with two dark caves on both sides of the 12 small vaults.
These two should be the places where poisonous snakes are raised.
Ye Jintang was really scared of these poisonous snakes, so she immediately lit two poisonous incense sticks and threw one into each black hole.
Seeing the poison incense glowing a faint red light in the darkness, she finally felt relieved.
Turning around and looking at the boxes full of gold and silver in front of him, Ye Jintang curled the corners of his lips slightly. He walked to the door of the first small safe and put his hand on the wooden box at the door.
The moment her palm fell, the gold and silver mixed together in the small treasury immediately appeared in her mind.
"Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is really capable. Her small treasury looks small but actually has 200 million taels of gold and silver."
Two million taels weighs about 200 tons. No wonder Xiao Moyi asked her if she wanted him to help transport it out.
62 tons! Even if Xiao Mo transported it himself, he couldn’t transport so much silver quietly.
More importantly, there is more than just a small vault in the vault.
200 million taels of gold and silver disappeared from the box in an instant and appeared in Ye Jintang's space.
After all the gold and silver bricks entered the space, they were automatically divided into two rows and stacked together to form two giant walls. From a distance, they looked sparkling and very beautiful.
Excited Ye Jintang couldn't help rubbing his hands. No matter whether there was gold or silver in the small treasury, as long as there were 200 million taels in one small treasury, the total of 11 would be 2200 million taels, which was a huge sum of money.
As long as she could get 200 million taels of gold out of it, she would make a fortune.
The second small treasury still contained 200 million taels of gold and silver.
Ye Jintang became more determined that the 11 small vaults should be of the same size.
The third small treasury still had 200 million taels, and there were obviously more gold bars in it.
In order to save time, Ye Jintang stopped worrying and emptied all the gold and silver in the 11 small vaults as quickly as possible.
The 11th small treasury contained slightly more than she expected, with 140 million taels of gold and silver.
At this moment, Ye Jintang's space was almost blinded by the light. Eleven giant walls made of gold and silver bricks stood behind the house, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.
