Chapter 67: There are ten million taels in life, and there is no penny in death
The Emperor of Da Qi in the cage was disheveled and had a look of horror on his face.
He never dreamed that someone would directly enter the harem and grab him from the concubine's bed.
"Let me go, I am the Emperor of Da Qi, how dare you do this to me!"
"Come quickly, the imperial guards, kill these traitors and protect my safety!"
"Let me go, I will reward you with a high official position and a generous salary, and I will ensure that your family will be a marquis for generations to come!"
The crazily struggling Emperor of Da Qi was in an ugly state at this moment. Faced with a life and death crisis, he could no longer maintain his original majesty.
After struggling and shouting for a few words, he was thrown into the iron cage and then directly lifted off the ground.
Being in different positions, you can see different scenery. The Emperor of Da Qi understood this deeply at this moment.
But when he saw the chaotic harem, the corpses of the Imperial Guards everywhere, and the practitioners suspended in the air, despair suddenly surged into his heart.
"Why, why do you do this to me? I'm not willing to do it!"
At this moment, the King of Da Qi seemed to have gone crazy, roaring loudly through the cage.
He comes from a family of monks, but he is born without spiritual roots, so naturally he will not receive much attention.
However, his special background also destined that his life would not be ordinary, at least he would not work hard for life like ordinary people.
When he was fifteen years old, he was sent to the capital of Da Qi to succeed his uncle as the new emperor.
From then on, he ruled the world and controlled the power of life and death.
The status that everyone envied did not make him feel particularly happy, because he had no real rights and was just a puppet of the Yunxiao Sect.
It looks like you are enjoying all the glory and wealth, but in fact it is just smoke and smoke in the past, and it will turn into a pile of withered bones in a few decades.
Unlike his brothers and sisters in the family, they can live at least a few hundred years with their spiritual roots.
Why is this world so unfair?
The accumulation of resentment affected the character of the Emperor of Qi and made him extremely greedy for money.
Since you can't seek immortality, then search for money in the world and become the richest man.
Only enough wealth can make him feel happy and alleviate the resentment in his heart.
He can also take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on society severely. Harming Da Qi is equivalent to taking revenge on Yunxiao Sect.
Such an act of revenge made him feel particularly happy.
But he didn't want to act so recklessly and not attract sanctions from the Yunxiao Sect. He belonged to the ancestor of the family as the sect leader, and was completely able to tolerate the ignorance of the children in the clan.
Those practitioners of Yunxiao Sect only care about annual offerings and don't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all.
If the worship is not affected, then you are a qualified monarch.
It was this kind of indulgence that made the Emperor of Da Qi become more and more arrogant and do all kinds of ridiculous things just to make money.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Yunxiao Sect's punishment would not come, but he would be attacked by foreign monks.
In the territory controlled by the Yunxiao Sect, humiliating himself as a spokesperson in this way is clearly a slap in the face of the sect.
This is definitely not a good thing, and it is likely to change.
Emperor Daqi also heard about the war in the spiritual world, and knew that the South Alliance had always been at a disadvantage.
He subconsciously believed that these practitioners in front of him all came from sects in Northern Xinjiang.
The Yunxiao Sect belongs to the Southern League and is in a state of hostility with Northern Xinjiang. If it falls into the hands of the other party, it is destined to be impossible to obtain any benefits.
Thinking of the previous announcement that he would be convicted and sentenced, Emperor Da Qi felt cold all over.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of torture would be waiting for him once the crime was confirmed?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but look at the Tianshi Mansion, and at the same time shouted loudly, hoping to be rescued.
There lived the Yunxiao Sect's monitor, who was also his bodyguard, protecting him, the sect's spokesperson in the world.
Unfortunately, after calling for a long time, there was no response at all. The gate of Tianshi Mansion was closed tightly, and even the boy guarding the door was nowhere to be seen.
There is a great possibility that the defenders realized that the enemy was too strong and simply abandoned their mansion and fled.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. The aloof Emperor Da Qi couldn't help but cry loudly, and even excrement and urine leaked out from fear.
This ugly scene was seen by the people who came after hearing the news. Some people cursed, while others clapped and applauded.
Guhao
From time to time, rocks and dog excrement flew from the ground into the air, hitting the helpless and howling Da Qi monarch.
The sky also cries, and the earth also cries, but the tears of the people underground are a kind of relief that a great revenge has been avenged, and a kind of joy that opens the eyes of God's mercy.
Dragged by the airship, the cage continued to move slowly forward along Wangjing Long Street.
The streets and alleys were filled with people. They were all watching, cursing, or watching indifferently.
From the palace to the end of the long street, no one stood up to say a kind word for the Da Qi Emperor.
Obviously, the human heart has a scale to weigh good and evil, right and wrong, and being high and mighty is not necessarily a good thing. It is likely that too many evil deeds have accumulated, which eventually led to the balance being unbalanced.
When bad karma reaches its limit, retribution will come at any time. The higher you stand, the harder you may fall.
While the entire imperial city was alarmed and scrambling to see the ugly behavior of the Da Qi Emperor, Tang Zhen was happily searching for treasures.
After entering the Daqi Palace, Tang Zhen realized what it meant to be extravagant and lustful. The monarch of Daqi wished he could have the word "rich" written on his face.
The place where he lived was inlaid with gold and silver, and precious gems and jade were everywhere.
All kinds of expensive luxury goods are dizzying, and the value of each piece is extremely high.
Although this monarch of Da Qi was not a simple miser, he did not forget to enjoy himself while amassing money.
However, in Tang Zhen's view, this kind of behavior is a waste of money. Even the most gorgeous handicrafts are not as substantial as gold and silver.
I asked Cornerstone Platform whether luxury goods can be exchanged for money, but I got a negative answer.
Instead, you can choose gold and silverware, smash it into pieces, then scrape the gold and refine the silver, so that it can be counted as income.
This behavior is too wasteful. It is better to keep it and distribute it to Loucheng residents, allowing them to use points to redeem it.
Tang Zhen's main target was naturally not these luxury goods, but the Emperor of Qi's treasury.
Perhaps out of greed, the emperor issued an order to build a bank in the palace.
Go and admire it from time to time to keep your body and mind happy.
After catching several forbidden soldiers for questioning, the location of the treasure house was quickly determined.
When I arrived at the entrance, I found that the treasure house door was made of fine iron and was sealed and locked from the inside.
It must be opened from the inside before it is possible to open the treasure house door.
The secret passage into the treasure house is the real secret, known only to a few people including the Emperor of Da Qi.
With Tang Zhen's method, there was no need to go to such trouble. With just a wave of his hand, a ball of flames hit the iron door.
The thick iron door, which was forged with precision, turned red in an instant, and hot molten iron kept dripping.
The treasure house door, once praised by the Emperor of Qi and said to be able to stop all thieves, was burned with a big hole.
Behind the treasure house door, there is a space leading to the underground, and there is a faint smell of weirdness.
Behind the gate stood a group of people with pale skin, as if they had not seen the sun for a long time.
"Who are you?"
Tang Zhen entered the treasure house and asked casually.
Seeing Tang Zhen burning down the gate and acting like an immortal, these people naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Quickly identify yourself to avoid unnecessary disaster.
They are the long-term guards of the treasure house, and they maintain the treasure house on weekdays. After the treasure house was built, they were locked underground and have not left for many years.
Special personnel will deliver the food you need on weekdays from the entrance of the cave, just like being in a prison.
This is an arrangement made by the Emperor of Da Qi. The purpose is to block the news and not let the outside world know the information about the treasure house.
After confirming that there was no problem, Tang Zhen drove these people away. Without the Emperor of Da Qi, the treasure trove would be emptied, and naturally there would be no need for these treasury guards.
The guardian did not dare to disobey orders and was worried about the punishment of the Da Qi Emperor, so he was cautious when going out.
The bright light outside made it difficult for them to adapt in a short time, and the news they overheard shocked them even more.
The Imperial Palace of Daqi was destroyed, and the dog emperor was paraded through the streets in a cage.
When the treasury keeper knelt down to thank the sky, Tang Zhen had already entered the treasury and saw mountains of gold and silver.
