Chapter 28 If you run fast, you can't be caught up!
After seeing off Emperor Xue Ye, who had a bitter smile on his face, Su Xian looked at the cloth in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
"Ahem…"
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Su Xian then fixed his eyes on the "one" and "two" of the twelve million gold coins, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Should I add one horizontal line or two horizontal lines to the number "一"? Or should I change it to five or nine? Or should I just add a vertical line? !
Should I add a horizontal line to the number "two" or change it to "five"?
Oh ~ this is really difficult!
However, "one" plus a vertical line equals ten, so the expression "ten million" is not very reliable.
"Oh... forget it, let's save some face for you, Dad!"
After thinking about it, Su Xian gave up changing "one" and directly changed "two" to "five".
Alas, there are not many good people like him who care about others.
Three million is a mere sum that should be within his means.
Besides, the extra five million behind the ten million was what he deserved.
If you want to shirk your debt, don't you see who I am?
Wow!
"Wife, let's go to the treasury and get some money!"
With a wave of his hand, Su Xian took Qian Renxue and rushed towards the national treasury.
The Tiandou Empire does not have a system of three provinces and six ministries. The political power is relatively loose and is directly responsible to the emperor.
The royal family's money is mainly managed by the Minister of Finance, specifically the Treasury of the National Treasury.
[I looked up the information about medieval Western European countries myself, so please don't blame me if it's not rigorous]
On the streets of Tiandou City, a gorgeous carriage flew past at a very fast speed and appeared at another street corner in the blink of an eye.
Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue was shocked to hear Su Xian's bold move, and asked worriedly, "Husband, aren't you afraid that your father will punish you for deceiving the emperor?"
To change the imperial edict without authorization is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
To put it more seriously, it is rebellion. Even if Su Xian is the eldest prince, he cannot bear this crime!
"When did I ever delete or modify the imperial edict? Don't talk nonsense, my wife!" Su Xian retorted with the look of a good boy.
Is he the kind of person who would change an imperial decree?
The imperial edict only mentions 15 million, okay? It has nothing to do with him at all!
"Puff…"
Seeing Su Xian's scoundrel look, Qian Renxue almost burst out laughing. She had never seen such a shameless person.
It was clearly him who changed it, but he still refuses to admit it.
"What are you doing?!"
Qian Renxue was startled when she was suddenly hugged and her face turned a little red.
"Give me a back massage. I was almost dead tired at noon."
Gently pulling her arm, Su Xian blinked pitifully, then found a comfortable position to lie down.
"Okay, I'll give you a massage."
Seeing Su Xian like this, Qian Renxue smiled, and then gently began to massage Su Xian. Her technique was very unfamiliar, obviously it was her first time.
"Oh~ It feels so good, honey, you can go faster."
"Yes, yes, right below, further down..."
"Bah! Obscene!"
…
After entering the palace, Su Xian went straight to the national treasury. If he waited until Emperor Xue Ye came to his senses and gave some secret order to the national treasury, he would have no place to cry.
These days, millions of dollars can be earned in a matter of minutes!
While Emperor Xue Ye is bewitched, get the gold coins as soon as possible.
The treasury was strictly guarded and was surrounded by royal guards.
The Royal Guard and the Royal Knights are both the main protective forces of the Tiandou Empire's royal family, and are also the collective power of soul masters.
On the surface, the national treasury has three lines of defense, but as for the power in secret, no one knows.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Seeing Su Xian coming, the commander guarding the first forbidden gate immediately came forward to greet him.
"I'm here to do my job under orders." Su Xian replied impatiently, then led Qian Renxue in.
When the commander saw that they were Su Xian and Qian Renxue, one was the prince and the other was the prince's consort, and that they were only entering alone, he did not stop them or search them.
On both sides are hundred-meter-high vertical walls, only a few meters wide, which look like natural moats.
The second forbidden gate was guarded by a general, and there was no search either...
"Didn't you say there were three levels of protection?"
Seeing that the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the treasury, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.
There are only two guards here, and it is easy to get over them. There is no third one.
"There is indeed a third line of defense here, but it is not usually seen." Su Xian shook his head and did not explain much.
The national treasury is the foundation of the empire's resources, so how could it not be strongly guarded?
The third guard in plain sight is a Soul Saint, but the fact that the two of them were able to get here proves that they have passed the review.
However, the two of them did not notice anything unusual...
After entering the treasury area, Su Xian found Sidamo, the custodian of the treasury.
"This is the order from my father, the emperor, asking me to withdraw 15 million gold soul coins from the national treasury. Please do it as soon as possible. I have other important matters to attend to."
Su Xian directly gave the cloth to Sidamo with a serious and majestic expression.
Fifteen million!!
Hearing this number, Sidamo was also stunned, with some surprise in his eyes.
After opening the cloth and taking a look, he saw that it was an order from His Majesty with the imperial seal on it, and Sidamo did not think much about it.
"Your Highness, I will do it right away. Please wait a moment."
Sidamo bowed slightly and then went straight into the restricted area of the treasury.
According to the rules, he needs to report to the Minister of Finance, who will then verify with His Majesty.
However, this procedure is only suitable for ordinary ministers. Most princes are not included, let alone the eldest prince with good character.
So, Sidamo didn't suspect anything...
As for forging or changing the imperial edict, he didn't even dare to think about it. Isn't that courting death? !
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Sitting in the room, Qian Renxue was a little nervous and asked in a low voice.
"If we're discovered, we'll just run away. As long as we run fast, they won't be able to catch up with us." Su Xian shrugged, looking very comfortable, not worried at all.
If he didn't have any sense, he would have emptied the treasury long ago. There would be no need for him to come here quietly to get the money.
The reason he was able to come in person was because of the money!
"You have a really big heart."
I didn't expect Su Xian to answer like this. Qian Renxue was speechless. How could such a heartless person live without any effort?
Run away?
Where can they run to? They will be caught and beaten up anyway, unless they run to the Spirit Hall or the Spirit City.
"No matter how big my heart is, it can only accommodate you and not others." Su Xian said with a smile.
"Be serious and stop trying to make me happy with these irresponsible words."
Qian Renxue gave Su Xian a cold look, her tone somewhat cold, but her slightly flushed cheeks and upturned mouth corners had already betrayed her.
"Your Highness, here are 15 million gold soul coins."
After a while, Sidamo came out with a box. Su Xian did not count the items and directly put away the box containing the gold card.
Wow!
Fifteen million gold coins in hand!
The wind is strong! ! Hurry! !
