Chapter 46 Of course

Liang Yue immediately understood why the old man looked so solemn, and quietly took two steps back, pretending that he saw nothing.

The so-called inner treasury refers to the emperor’s inner treasury.

It won't be easily seen by outsiders.

Although the emperor of the Yin Dynasty nominally ruled the country, the money in the treasury was the tax silver of the nine states and the blood fat of the people. It had to be taken from the people and used for the people. Although the emperor could use it, the inflow and outflow of funds had to be approved by the Ministry of Revenue. If it was a large expenditure, all civil and military officials had to agree to it.

If the emperor could decide at will how to use the treasury's money, the construction of a Tower of Babel would not have taken several years to finalize.

The small treasury that belonged to the emperor alone and could be used at will was called "inner treasury".

The sources of this money were the grants from the royal family, the regular transfers from the national treasury, and the royal family's own business operations. It can be said that even if only the internal treasury is counted, the emperor is one of the few richest people in the world.

The current Emperor Yin, Mubei, has been on the throne for thirty years and has never indulged in extravagance. The treasury is basically only used to cover daily expenses in the imperial palace and it is absolutely impossible for such a large amount of deposits to flow out.

Nowadays, in such an underground bank, most of the silver stored in it are silver ingots from the imperial treasury, which seems to be worth several million taels, which is really unbelievable.

"Alas." Old Eagle was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "Inform everyone present that what happened today must not be spread outside. Pack these silver pieces, seal them in boxes, and escort them back to the capital. Do not move them without permission."

When Yang He came back from the search with his men, he saw the old man's face and asked hurriedly, "Old Ying, this is..."

"We are in trouble." Old Eagle rubbed his head. "I am really unlucky today. Why do I have to get involved in this mess?"

Hearing his exaggeration, Liang Yue was also a little confused.

Even if the treasury was stolen, then we can just track down the thief. It wouldn't be the Ministry of Justice who did it, so why would they act like it was a sudden disaster?

Is there any other hidden story behind this?

However, although he was curious, he also knew what he should and should not listen to. He didn't want to get involved in this matter that even the top officials of the Ministry of Justice were troubled by.

Liang Yue turned around and went to find Wen Yifan and Shang Yunhai and stood with them.

Anyway, no matter what happens, as long as you stand on the side of the Zhuxie Division, you should not be held accountable.

Now that he had some free time, Wen Yifan asked, "Not only have you mastered the Sword Domain Dragon Movement Technique, but you have also learned the method of releasing sword energy?"

Liang Yue smiled: "Yeah, I'm lucky."

Shang Yunhai was also slightly surprised when he heard this, "Brother Liang, you have mastered this set of body skills in the second realm? That is considered a top-notch skill in the Xuanmen! How long have you been practicing it?"

Liang Yue was shy because of the praise and raised three fingers.

"Three months?" Shang Yunhai said, "Then your talent is not inferior to that of my Xuanmen disciples. Eh? No, it was impossible for you to come into contact with the Xuanmen secret manual three months ago."

He looked at Wen Yifan, who nodded slightly.

Shang Yunhai was even more surprised, "You mastered it in just three days?"

Liang Yue then replied: "Three times."

Shang Yunhai and Wen Yifan were both silent.

They were cultivating the legacy of Qi Refiners and had not practiced this body technique. However, the complexity of the Dao rhyme of any of the top Xuanmen techniques was unimaginable.

Few people can master a technique after just a few attempts of contemplation.

Liang Yue not only mastered the Sword Domain Dragon Movement after three attempts of comprehending it, but also learned a move of releasing sword energy.

What kind of understanding is this?
After a while, Shang Yunhai sighed slightly: "If you were not a warrior, I would have wanted to accept you as my disciple directly on my behalf and let you be my junior brother."

Wen Yifan said, "It just so happens that Uncle Wang wants to recruit a last-ditch disciple and is looking for a candidate. I want to recommend him."

"Ah?" Shang Yunhai looked worried. "Become Uncle Wang's disciple..."

He stopped talking in the middle of the sentence.

Liang Yue heard that his tone was not right, so he asked, "What's wrong with this senior?"

"Nothing." Wen Yifan shook his head and said, "It's just that this Uncle Wang is quite unique in my Xuanmen, but his cultivation is real. Having such a master is better than you being alone now."

Liang Yue vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.

Shang Yunhai is a gentle gentleman who would not lie. The person who makes him feel so embarrassed must be unreliable.

But what Miss Wen said was right. Even if that person had some flaws, he was still a real Xuanmen master. It was better than being alone. Thinking of this, he felt relieved again.

Ling Yuanbao saw the three of them gathered together and talked, and suddenly remembered the scene of being abandoned just now, and immediately called out from behind: "Liang Yue!"

……

"Ok?"

Liang Yue turned around and saw Ling Yuanbao's angry look. He thought to himself that something was wrong. This female constable finally realized that something was wrong.

He quickly pulled Ling Yuanbao aside and whispered, "Captain Ling, we've had a great harvest this time. You've made a great contribution again. Why are you so unhappy?"

"Let me ask you, what did you mean just now?" Ling Yuanbao frowned and said, "Why did you let me lead the men in black away, and the three of you stayed behind to investigate the case? It's obvious that the two of us came here together!"

"Well..." Liang Yue turned around to look at the two people from the Demon Slaying Division, then looked at Ling Yuanbao and said, "Captain Ling, do you think you can beat these two?"

"Hmm..." Ling Yuanbao thought for a moment and said, "The Xuanmen disciples must have high cultivation. They should be only slightly worse than me."

"Then do you think they are as smart as you?" Liang Yue asked again.

"Well..." Ling Yuanbao hesitated again, and then said: "The people in the Evil Slaying Division should all be extremely intelligent and on par with me."

"Then do you think they are as righteous as you?" Liang Yue asked finally.

"Of course not!" Ling Yuanbao glared, "I used all my strength to hurry back and call for help."

"That's right!" Liang Yue knocked his fist on his palm. "They are not as good at fighting as you, nor as smart as you, nor as loyal as you. Of course, the most critical task of going out to find reinforcements should be given to you. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to fight their way out of the encirclement, nor would they be able to find reinforcements as quickly as you did, so the first thing I thought of was to let you take on the important task!"

Hearing his flattery, Ling Yuanbao gradually revealed a smug smile, but he asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"With your intelligence, how could I possibly deceive you?" Liang Yue said sincerely.

"Of course." Ling Yuanbao nodded with satisfaction.

New people from the Ministry of Justice came over one after another, packing a small mountain of silver into boxes and transporting it back to Longyuan City in carts. This scale of stolen silver is probably rare in decades, and it will definitely shock the court.

The demon tamer's corpse was also carefully collected and transported back to the Ministry of Justice for further examination.

Zhu Rongzi's reappearance in the martial arts world is expected to cause quite a stir. With such a powerful weapon in hand, those with lower cultivation can basically be killed instantly without distinction, which is really terrifying.

Poor demon tamer! No one in the court intended to kill him, but he died tragically at the hands of his own people.

It is quite difficult for their lineage to practice.

If we say that there is only one in a hundred warriors with talent, one in ten thousand Qigong practitioners with talent, and not even one in a million mystic masters, then there are even fewer mystic masters who can become demon masters.

They need to go to the four monster lands overseas since they are young, grow up among monster beasts, and go through numerous hardships and dangers to refine the monster beasts, so that they can practice successfully step by step.

There is a price to pay for having combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level.

It's such a pity to die like this.

However, from the moment he became an accomplice to the evil, he should have known that he would pay the price sooner or later.

While the Ministry of Justice was still dealing with the aftermath, the two men from the Evil-Slaying Yamen were about to leave.

The two of them had to deal with the silver-guarding monster and transport it to another place for safekeeping. Shang Yunhai rode on the listless head of the silver-guarding monster and waved goodbye to everyone.

Wen Yifan said to Liang Yue: "Take a day off tomorrow, I will take you to become my disciple."

When Liang Yue heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face and replied, "Okay! Thank you, Miss Wen."

Wen Yifan smiled and said, "If everything goes well, you will have to call me Senior Sister from now on."

Liang Yue also smiled when he heard this.

Although no new clues about the Zhen Chang case were found in Longsheng Cloth Shop, uncovering an underground money house was still a great achievement.

If I succeed in becoming a disciple again tomorrow, then everything will go smoothly.

In a few days I will be taking the test for my official promotion. With the Xuanmen master giving me some pointers, won’t I be able to pass the test as easily as an experienced person?

Everything will be fine then!
