Ying Zheng walked through the entire stone chamber. There were quite a number of martial arts manuals in the palace of Qin State.
However, none of them were original works. There were not many bamboo slips left from the various sects and schools.
Ying Zheng walked out of the stone chamber with a dark face.
"Men, summon Liu Yu, immediately!”Ying Zheng summoned a young eunuch and ordered.
"Yes." The young eunuch jogged away.
Shao Fu was one of the nine ministers and was in charge of the private property of the palace.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu was Lao Ai's man, and could be considered as Lu Buwei's henchman.
Ying Zheng returned to the Qilin Palace and waited for Liu Yu's arrival.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Liu Yu bowed.
"How much gold is there in my palace's private treasury?”Ying Zheng asked.
"This…excluding the rare treasures, there are thirty thousand taels of gold.”Liu Yu's expression changed as he answered carefully.
"Thirty thousand gold taels? Take them all out. I have something important to do.”Ying Zheng frowned slightly. Although it was not too much, it was not too little either.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the Empress Dowager for permission to mobilize all the gold in your private treasury?”Liu Yu said after a moment of hesitation.
"It's not up to you to decide what I do!？”Ying Zheng shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Liu Yu said as he lay on the ground.
"I will immediately go and prepare." As Liu Yu spoke, he hurriedly left the Qilin Palace.
"Quick, go to Sweet Spring Palace and report this to Lord Lao Ai.”
Liu Yu looked a little anxious and quickly sent someone to Ganquan Palace.
There were still 30,000 taels of gold in his private treasury. It was already not bad to be able to take out 5,000 taels of gold.
In the past two years, Lao Ai had been favored by the Empress Dowager, and the gold in his private treasury had been used by him to establish several chambers of commerce outside to bribe the officials.
" What should we do…" Liu Yu's face was filled with worry. He could only transport the remaining gold in his private treasury to the Qilin Palace first.
A chest of gold was moved into the hall.
Li Changsheng had already begun to ponder how he could get a commission from Brother Zheng.
"Hmm? Just one box." Li Changsheng frowned. It looked like 30,000 taels?
" Tsk, Brother Zheng's little treasury was stolen…" Li Changsheng understood after thinking for a moment.
"No more?" Ying Zheng had also noticed the problem. He turned to look at Liu Yu, and a trace of fury was hidden deep in his eyes!
"Your Majesty, this is all that is left in my private treasury.”Liu Yu replied with a trembling voice,
"How dare you, Liu Yu?! Five thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for thirty thousand taels of gold?"
Ying Zheng slapped his dragon throne, and the Brocade Guard in the palace instantly drew their sabers and placed them on Liu Yu's neck.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It's not that I'm greedy, but that the newly built palaces in the palace have been used up. I was confused and forgot to report it.”Liu Yu was thinking of a way to escape.
"I don't know how many more palaces have appeared in Xianyang Palace!”Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, as he more or less understood what was going on.
Liu Yu was a young official, and it was a serious crime to steal from someone. He didn't have the guts to do so. Someone had taken the money from Liu Yu.
"Who used these 25,000 gold taels?？”Ying Zheng asked.
"This…this, this, this is the Empress Dowager!" Liu Yu hesitated for a moment before saying the Empress Dowager's name.
Lao Ai was the Empress Dowager's subordinate, and he had taken the money.
Liu Yu knew that it was useless to mention Lao Ai, so he might as well say that it was the Empress Dowager.
" Empress Dowager…" Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment. After all, she was his mother.
Li Changsheng was not going to let this go.
Empress Dowager Zhao and Lao Ai, these two adulterers were not good people. They had even begun to plot to usurp the throne!
'Ding…quest released.' Li Changsheng raised his hand and issued a mission.
Ying Zheng was slightly absent-minded, and then his eyes swept across the mission.
[Mission: Find out the whole story]
Introduction: The private treasury was stolen, not by the Empress Dowager. Please find out the whole story within three days.
[Reward: Green Dragon Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards]
"Bastard!"
Ying Zheng stood up, his pair of dragon eyes staring at Liu Yu coldly. This Liu Yu actually dared to deceive him!
"Great King!" Liu Yu was so frightened that his entire body trembled. Even bringing up the Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji, was useless?
But he really didn't take the money himself.
Li Changsheng sighed in his heart. He did not tell Ying Zheng openly that Empress Dowager Zhao Ji had committed adultery with Lao Ai!
He was afraid that Brother Zheng wouldn't be able to accept it for a while. He would let Brother Zheng investigate slowly!
The Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji, had a strong desire in all aspects and had an unclear relationship with Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei often stayed at Ganquan Palace at night, but in recent years, Ying Zheng had slowly grown up.
Lu Buwei was afraid of being caught, so he sent Lao Ai into the palace to replace him.
Lao Ai's skills in bed were well-known far and wide, and because of his amazing skills in bed, he was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, who rewarded him continuously.
As a result, Lao Ai gradually became arrogant, and even began to build his own faction in the imperial court.
