Shenwu Batian Jue

Chapter 232 Astonishing Accounts
Taking advantage of the darkness, Su Yan came outside the City Lord's Mansion.

He didn't enter the mansion in a hurry, but carefully checked and sensed the surroundings.After all, Gao Zhe recruited capable people and strangers, so it is hard to guarantee that no one who understands the formation pattern has set up a large formation in the mansion.If you enter it rashly, it is likely to trigger a large formation and get trapped.

In the middle of the night, the city lord's mansion was very quiet. There was no movement at all, not even the sound of footsteps. Such a situation made people feel very strange.

Su Yan looked back and forth around the mansion for half an hour, no matter where he was, he couldn't hear the slightest sound inside.

Since Gao Zhe came here, the number of people in the city lord's mansion also increased sharply, not only warriors from all sides, but also a large number of servant girls.Among these people, warriors have not weak cultivation, they can walk silently, but the servants are ordinary mortals, it is impossible to walk silently like warriors.

"It seems that there is really a large formation inside, but it can cut off the connection between the mansion and the outside, so that people outside can't hear any movement about the mansion!" The guess in Su Yan's heart was confirmed.The large formation in the City Lord's Mansion is activated, and this is only on the surface, there may be hidden large formations that have not been activated.This large formation is used to prevent others from sneaking in.As long as you accidentally touch the pattern, you will be trapped in it.

Su Yan went around to the backyard, and sneaked in quietly.

There are almost no people in the backyard, only some patrolling warriors pass by from time to time.

However, Su Yan did not relax his vigilance because of this. The seemingly safe backyard might hide unknown dangers, and any place where he could set foot might be branded with patterns.

Just in case, Su Yan used spirit patterns to open the way, and before his footsteps landed, he would first engrave the spirit patterns to detect hidden patterns.

The journey went smoothly, but the spirit patterns would detect any places where there were hidden formation patterns, and then calmly avoided them, and arrived at the most luxurious courtyard in the inner courtyard of the mansion in a short time.

The lights in many rooms in this courtyard are on, and there are warriors patrolling back and forth alternately everywhere.

Su Yan avoided the sight of the patrolling warriors, and quietly approached the house where several powerful auras were coming from, and found a corner to hide in a distance of more than ten meters.

"Wu Falcon, is there any news from Wangcheng?" Gao Zhe's voice sounded from inside the room, and Su Yan, who has a sharp ear, heard it clearly.

"Reporting to Uncle Guo, there is no important news for the time being."
"How's the matter in Qishi Mansion?"
"Back to the country, Uncle, the Qishi Mansion is going well, and everything is proceeding according to the prime minister's plan."
"En." Gao Zhe seemed very satisfied, and said, "The people in the Qishi Mansion are rare talents, but they are difficult to control. These people will be of great use in the future, but they are only used for a while."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Guo is right. Some people in Qishi's mansion are rebellious, and it is really not easy to make them surrender completely. But as Uncle Guo said, those people are only used for a while. As the saying goes It’s well said, the birds do their best to hide their bows, and the cunning rabbits die and their lackeys cook, this is their destined ending.”
"Hmph! A small amount is not a gentleman, and a non-poisonous man is not a husband! Those who achieve great things will have to be ruthless and walk on corpses." Gao Zhe sneered, and then said coldly: "Wu Falcon, Wu Ze, Wu Gui, Uncle Ben Guo I have a big task for you!"

"If you have any orders from Uncle Guo, just say what you want, and we, the three culprits in Xuanzhou, will definitely go through fire and water!"
"Very good! Uncle Benguo has a batch of important things to send back to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion in Wangcheng. Looking at the hundreds of masters in Juxian Pavilion, only you three murderers can take on this important task. I hope you don't let Uncle Benguo down." .”
"Uncle Guo, don't worry! The three culprits will definitely send back the things that Uncle Guo wants to deliver back to Wangcheng!"
"Well, Uncle Benguo believes in your abilities. After the task is completed, Uncle Benguo will reward you a lot!"
"Uncle Guo, if we leave Xuanzhou City tomorrow, what should we do if Uncle Guo meets that boy in white clothes when he goes out?"

"Don't worry, as long as you bring more people, he can't do anything to my uncle. Besides, if there is no special matter, my uncle will not leave the city lord's mansion. Does he still dare to come close to the city lord's mansion!"
"That's right. If the boy in white really dares to break into the City Lord's Mansion, he is looking for death. The big formation here is enough to trap him immobile, and it will be easy to take his head at that time!"

"Come here, three of you, here are a few storage bags. All the things you want to bring back to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion in Wangcheng are in these storage bags. You must remember that the things in the storage bags are very important, and you must not have any accident!"
"Uncle Guo, don't worry, the three culprits promise to complete the task!"

"Okay, let's go down, we will set off early tomorrow morning, don't delay."
"Yes!"
...When we got here, the people in the house stopped talking.

Su Yan hid in the corner, and saw three fierce-looking middle-aged warriors coming out of the room one after the other, and quickly disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Not long after, the light in the house went out, and Gao Zhe, who was dressed in brocade clothes, also left.

After waiting quietly for a while, Su Yan quietly approached the house and quickly sneaked into it.

"Unexpectedly, this is the study room!" Su Yan was slightly happy in his heart, so he didn't need to waste his time looking for it elsewhere.If Gao Zhe has something in the ledger, he either takes it with him or puts it here.

The study room is very large, surrounded by bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and files.

Su Yan knew that these books and files had nothing to do with Gao Zhe, but were left by the former city lord.

After observing carefully for a while, he began to look for it.

Because there are too many books and files, it is not easy to find them.Even if Gao Zhe put the ledger here, it is not easy to find it.

So Su Yan unfolded his spiritual sense and quickly scanned every book and file on the bookshelf to speed up the search.

"what--"
Suddenly there was a high-pitched cry of pain, which shocked Su Yan, who was looking for evidence, his heart skipped a beat.

"what--"
"Comfortable! Come again, hahaha!"
Just when Su Yan thought that something happened in the city lord's mansion, the second cry of pain came again, followed by Gao Zhe's voice that seemed to enjoy himself.

"What is this Gao Zhe doing?" Su Yan was a little startled, judging from the sound, the shouting and speaking came from Gao Zhe.

After thinking about it, Su Yan shook his head, ignored these things, and continued to search.

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Yan's spiritual sense found a particularly exquisitely packaged account book among the books.

The ledger is hidden in the pile of books. If you search for it in an ordinary way, you don't know how long it will take to find it among thousands of books and files.

"Is that Gao Zhe's account book?"

Su Yan pulled out the books and files, took out the account book, opened it, and a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

"It's really Gao Zhe's account book that collected people's fat and people's anointing! There are also every account recorded by the previous city lords!"

Su Yan was very surprised. This account book was supposed to be used by the former city lords to record accounts.But when the city lord was dismissed, the ledger fell into Gao Zhe's hands, and Gao Zhe also used him to record the ledger.

Every account recorded above is shocking, even Su Yan used to be rich and possessed hundreds of millions of spiritual diamonds.But when I saw these accounts, I was still shocked!
The ledger records all the accounts of the past city lords for hundreds of years. Some of the large accounts are in units of tens of millions of spiritual diamonds, and there are also a large number of elixir and spiritual materials.

Su Yan continued to turn back, and the handwriting of the accounts recorded later was obviously different from the previous ones.The previous account was recorded by the previous city lord, and the latter is obviously recorded by Gao Zhe.

"In the 26th era of the Shenwu calendar year, on the third day of March in 700, 270 million mortal-level low-grade spiritual diamonds were collected from Xuanzhou City."
"In the 26th era of the Shenwu calendar year, on the fifth day of March in 700, the disaster relief supplies were sold, with a total of 930 million mortal low-grade spiritual diamonds."
"Shenwu Calendar Years..."
... Su Yan flipped back page by page, Gao Zhe had collected more than 8000 million spiritual diamonds in just two months here, and various treasures and spiritual materials, which is really shocking!
The total number of accounts recorded by the previous Xuanzhou city lords is even more astonishing. Su Yan calculated carefully, and the total number of spiritual diamonds is about one billion, not counting the value of various spiritual medicines and spiritual materials!
"People here say how rich the city of Xuanzhou was in the past, but I haven't been able to see it with my own eyes. But now I can see it from these accounts. A city owner and an uncle can collect so many resources. It's unbelievable!"
Su Yan was really shocked. When he was in Huaqi City, the loyal prince of the Tiandu Dynasty photographed him with hundreds of millions of spiritual diamonds.At that time, Su Yan felt that the Tiandu Dynasty was rich and powerful.Only now do I know that the financial power of the Tiandu Dynasty is far from comparable to that of the Qindan Dynasty, and the gap between them is not known to be huge.

Just one city of Xuanzhou, one of hundreds of cities in the Qindan Dynasty.Even though this place is richer than most cities, it is unbelievable to collect so many resources.

The former city lord was not a good person, and Gao Zhe was not a good person.He has only been here for two months. On the surface, he came here for disaster relief, but in fact, he is like a bloodsucking bug, crazily amassing money.

In two months, the restrained spiritual diamonds are equivalent to the resources that the previous city lords have restrained for decades!

Su Yan closed the ledger and put it into the interspatial ring.Recalling Gao Zhe's conversation with the three culprits in Xuanzhou earlier in his mind, a sneer gradually appeared on his face.

Gao Zhe's so-called important things are likely to be scraped spiritual diamonds and other materials.

He used a storage bag instead of a space ring, and there was only one reason to explain it.

Generally speaking, the storage space in the space ring is larger than the storage bag, and it is more portable.But it is very difficult to expand the storage space in the space ring.The so-called larger space than the storage bag is only relative.

The storage bag is different. Some specially made storage bags can have several times the storage space of ordinary storage rings.

The storage bags that Gao Zhe gave to the three murderers must have been specially made, which means that the things inside will take up a lot of space.Otherwise, he would not use this eye-catching storage bag at all, but would choose the space ring.

What kind of things take up a lot of space?And what is it that Gao Zhe will let the three strongest fighters under him transport back to the king's city?
Obviously, Su Yan can guess without thinking too much, it must be the resources such as spiritual diamonds collected this time, as well as the resources collected by the previous city lord.

The city lord was dismissed, this kind of matter, Prime Minister Zuo will definitely fight for Gao Zhe to be responsible in front of the emperor.And the resources it once collected will inevitably fall into Gao Zhe's pocket.

There are more than a billion mortal-level low-grade spiritual diamonds, various massive resources, and several storage bags are probably full.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to send these resources back to Prime Minister Zuo's residence in Wangcheng!" Su Yan murmured to himself, and then left Gao Zhe's study.Just when he was about to leave the city lord's mansion, Gao Zhe's excited cry came again not far away.

Su Yan frowned slightly, approached quietly along the direction of the sound, hid outside the room and looked in, the scene that caught his eyes stunned him.

On the big bed in the room, Gao Zhe was naked.
