Chapter 208 Returning to the Imperial City to Plunder Money
I was up all night.
All the participants were exhausted. After eating the late-night snack prepared by the women, they returned to their tents to rest.
In the latter half of the night, personnel who were not involved in the fighting were assigned to patrol.
Worried that her best friend and her family wouldn't be able to get a proper rest, Shen Shuli, with the permission of the constables, invited them to rest in her own tent.
Although the tents were all large communal sleeping areas, everyone was extremely careful in their movements, for fear of disturbing others' rest.
At least it can prevent mosquito bites from keeping you awake.
Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun slept together in the corner of the room.
The two wanted to chat a little longer, but Mu Wanjun was too tired that day and fell asleep almost the moment her head hit the pillow.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Shen Shuli closed her eyes as well and made the most of her time to rest.
The next morning.
The Mu family had breakfast at the Su family's house before returning home.
On the way back, Mu Wanjun didn't forget to bring breakfast for her second aunt's family of four.
It was getting late.
Xue Bufan immediately ordered the prisoners to begin their journey.
Even though the yamen runners removed the prisoner's ropes and handcuffs.
However, many of the prisoners had injuries, and these prisoners were used to being pampered and had never traveled at such a high intensity before.
After resting for a while, the soreness in their bodies became even more severe, and they were traveling at a slower pace than they had the day before.
This was something the constables had expected.
The exile procession disappeared from sight.
The Su family's team still showed no sign of starting.
Su Yunhai had already informed everyone last night that they could get some rest and would continue their journey the following afternoon.
Anyway, the group was going to follow the exile group, and the prisoners could only walk a few miles each day.
They could catch up easily by hurrying along the way, so they might as well save the time and get some rest.
The injuries on Xuan Guang and the other Silver Armor Guards and bodyguards have mostly healed.
Xuan Guang and his companions had been injured before, and the medicines they used were all top-quality.
But they have never recovered so quickly!
If they had known this would happen, they should have offered it all to their master!
Xuan Guang and the others were filled with regret, wishing they could turn back time to last night!
After a good night's sleep, Shen Shuli checked her injuries and felt that her bones were still sore.
She drank another large cup of spiritual spring water before getting up, leaving the tent to wash up and eat.
She glanced in the direction of the exile procession and found that it was already empty.
The family members also got up and, taking advantage of the cool weather, gathered together to practice their exercises.
Without disturbing everyone, Shen Shuli waved to Su Yunhai from afar, signaling him to come aside and talk.
"Father, I want to go back to the capital. The Third Prince dared to harm us. If we don't retaliate, I won't be able to live with myself," Shen Shuli said sinisterly.
"Are you alright on your own? Your father is worried about you. Although the Third Prince's residence isn't in the palace, he's been in a precarious situation lately, so security at his residence must be tight. I'm afraid you'll be in danger." Su Yunhai
He also had to look after the team and couldn't go with his daughter, as he didn't approve of her taking the risk alone.
"Don't worry, Father, I will protect myself. Don't you trust me to do things?" Shen Shuli had already made up her mind.
Su Yunhai was furious.
He stared coldly at the spot where his daughter was injured, his meaning clear.
Shen Shuli felt a little guilty, knowing that her father was anxious, so she patiently coaxed and pleaded with him for a long time before finally persuading him.
This place is only twenty miles away from the capital.
Shen Shuli rode her black horse at full speed and arrived at the city gate in less than ten minutes.
Horses also had to pay tolls, so Shen Shuli took them into her spatial storage to recover their strength.
After paying the entrance fee, Shen Shuli immediately hid in the crowd, found a secluded place to change her clothes and disguise herself, and avoided being discovered by the lurking thugs.
I spent a few days in the capital.
Shen Shuli had a fairly good understanding of the layout of the imperial city.
They made their way into the inner city.
They continued to change outfits along the way.
They arrived at the Third Prince's residence without incident.
The third prince has been temporarily confined to his princely residence by the emperor due to a theft case.
Furthermore, the Imperial Guards searched and confiscated the Third Prince's residence and all his properties, both overt and covert.
The assets confiscated shocked the emperor and all his officials!
The imperial guards, whom the emperor trusted most, were responsible for raiding the Third Prince's residence this time.
Shen Shuli never expected that she would happen to witness the Imperial Guards raiding the Third Prince's residence!
See, our luck has improved, hasn't it?
Although a sum of money has already been sent to the palace, isn't there still a large number waiting for her to favor?
The Imperial Guards truly lived up to their reputation as the strongest army in the Great Yong Dynasty.
Far away.
Shen Shuli felt a powerful pressure and danger from the two imperial guards guarding the gate.
Not daring to risk her life, she immediately fled far away, circling around the Third Prince's residence.
Finally, a small hole was found.
But the hole is too small; it's barely big enough for a stray cat to pass through.
She took out a laser gun, cut a hole big enough, crawled inside, and then restored the removed wall tiles so that no one would notice anything amiss.
Shen Shuli didn't dare to approach the front yard.
Through the wall and by making contact with the ground, within the limits of mental power, he exchanged all the money in the box and left immediately.
Although only a small portion was replaced.
But the total value is over 500,000 taels.
Shen Shuli left happily, but paused after passing a money exchange.
Dayong Money Shop?
Judging from the appearance, this money exchange should belong to the Dayong royal family.
Shen Shuli's eyes darted around, and another plan came to mind.
Since she can't touch the national treasury or the emperor's private treasury, surely she can touch the money shops belonging to the royal family?
Do it when you think of it.
Shen Shuli changed her clothes four or five more times and scouted the area before finally taking action.
The Dayong Money Shop's storefront was six stories high, resembling a small palace.
Many ordinary people come and go.
"Manager, I'd like to exchange ten thousand taels of silver notes." Shen Shuli took out several silver notes from Dayong Bank and handed them to the manager for inspection.
There are no handling fees or interest for depositing and withdrawing money through money shops, but a 10% management fee is required.
You can only withdraw 9,000 taels of silver if you deposit 10,000 taels.
This amount was not too large for Dayong Money Shop, but it was not small either.
The shopkeeper carefully examined the authenticity of the silver note. Once he confirmed that there was no problem, he immediately led the customer to the inner room to complete the transaction.
Shen Shuli observed the surroundings.
It was discovered that the vault was completely out of the guests' sight.
It is clear that the safety measures were implemented quite effectively.
Shen Shuli waited silently, and soon someone carried two heavy boxes into the room.
"Honorable sir, this is nine thousand taels of silver. Please take a look." The shopkeeper's attitude was not particularly respectful, but it was still quite kind.
After counting, the portions were exactly the same.
"No problem." Shen Shuli nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing that he was alone, the shopkeeper kindly asked, "Honorable sir, would you like one of our men to help you deliver your goods?"
Shen Shuli nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I need it, thank you for your trouble."
The shopkeeper immediately had the men carry the boxes and follow Shen Shuli out the back door.
