Chapter 191 52,000 taels of real gold and silver were stolen right in front of the Imperial Guards!
This night.
The wounded from both the Su and Shen families have almost fully recovered.
Shen Shuli was relieved and prepared to implement a plan.
Shen Shuli had already started planning this project after learning that Chu Jingxuan had arranged for her to live next to the Jinwuwei.
She summoned Xuan Guang.
"Miss Shen, what are your instructions?" Xuan Guang asked coldly.
"I need your people to cooperate with me in putting on a show."
Shen Shuli told Xuan Guang about her plan.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Guang's previously calm eyes instantly sparkled with brilliant light.
“Miss Shen’s plan is excellent. I will make the arrangements immediately.” Xuan Guang turned and left right away.
Seeing how cooperative he was, and even how eager he seemed to be, Shen Shuli found it amusing.
I never expected him to be such a mysterious figure.
He always has a deadpan expression and speaks in a cold tone.
But when it comes to swindling people, those eyes shine with an unusual brilliance.
It's actually quite interesting.
late at night.
All the lights in the courtyard were turned off.
The owners of the courtyard were all fast asleep.
These past two days since I moved into this house.
Shen Shuli secretly had her father pretend to move the boxes back to the mansion.
The intention was to give those secretly watching the Su family the illusion that they had secretly brought back the money they had taken out and hidden.
In the past two days, no one has dared to break in and try to steal the Su family's money.
It can be said.
This courtyard is indeed extremely safe.
It's so safe that there's no need to arrange for someone to keep watch at night.
Anyway, the Jinwu Guards next door are diligently patrolling the area.
There wasn't even a passerby.
"A thief has broken in! Catch the thief!"
Wu.
The once quiet street instantly became noisy and bustling.
Su Yunhai's rough voice carried directly into the Jinwu Guard's yamen next door.
soon.
Then, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted in the courtyard.
Several squads of Imperial Guards patrolling nearby heard the commotion and immediately sensed something was wrong.
They exchanged a glance, then immediately took off running, speeding towards the courtyard where the Su family lived.
As soon as the Jinwuwei squad arrived outside the gate of the courtyard, they saw dozens of men in black carrying boxes running out of the gate.
Upon seeing the gleaming Golden Guards appear, the man in black reacted quickly, throwing a handful of sleeping powder at them before fleeing with the box.
The sleeping gas is not only pungent, but also stings the eyes.
Caught off guard, the Jinwuwei squad was caught off guard and all of them were coughing and covering their faces in frustration.
The smoke finally cleared up.
The thief in black had vanished without a trace.
"You three teams, go after them quickly! Make sure you bring back every single item!"
"The rest of you, come with me inside to check!"
The Imperial Guards immediately split into two groups and began their operation.
When Su Yunhai saw the Imperial Guards finally appear, he immediately ran over and wailed in despair.
His voice was so loud that it could be heard all over the street.
"Sir! All our money has been stolen by thieves! You must do us justice!"
The Imperial Guards were immediately thrown into a panic.
There really were thieves who dared to break into a house and rob it right in front of the Jinwuwei yamen!
"Are you sure all that money is gone?" the captain of the Imperial Guard couldn't help but ask.
In the minds of these Imperial Guards, the Su family's money already belonged to them.
They will take action as soon as these people leave the capital.
That's why the Su family has been protected these past few days to prevent others from coveting their Golden Guard's money.
But I never expected it!
There really are thieves who dare to pull the tiger's hair out of its head!
"Sir! Didn't you just see it with your own eyes? They were all robbed! Not a single box was left for us!"
Su Yunhai's performance was so lifelike, as if he had really been robbed of all his family fortune, and he cried his heart out.
The rest of the Su and Shen families were awakened by the sounds of fighting.
They joined the war without hesitation, but they were simply no match for the enemy.
Fortunately, these thieves had other motives and did not kill them.
Now that the Imperial Guards have appeared, everyone is rushing over to report the case and urging them to help recover the lost money.
Although the 500,000 taels of silver had nothing to do with them, it belonged to Shen Shuli.
They felt so sorry for her!
Originally, both families were afraid of the Imperial Guards.
After all, they had just experienced it firsthand two days ago, and it left them with some psychological trauma.
However, they also understood the current situation, and that the Imperial Guards would not dare to do anything to them openly for the time being.
Moreover, they were genuinely heartbroken for Shen Shuli for losing that huge sum of money.
Shen Shuli shouted from the shadows, "My lord, the thief escaped right in front of you! This is your dereliction of duty! Please help us retrieve him as soon as possible! Those are gold and silver jewels worth 500,000 taels!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
The captain of the Imperial Guard was so annoyed by the noise that he immediately used his internal energy to shout at them.
The scene fell silent instantly.
"We've already sent men to chase after them. Now take us to the scene," the Jinwu Guard captain ordered, looking at the fat man before him.
These past two evenings.
All of Su's fat son's sneaky behavior was observed by the secret Imperial Guards.
They were all secretly sneering.
Did they think they could fool the sharp eyes of the Imperial Guards with such a little trick?
Foolish mortals, do you think you can fool these extraordinary martial artists?
How ridiculous!
If it weren't for that money, they would never have protected the Su family.
Su Yunhai immediately led the Imperial Guards to search every room in the entire mansion.
Besides the food and other supplies they had prepared, there were other things in the room.
Those boxes of gold and silver jewelry have indeed all disappeared.
The Imperial Guards witnessed Fatty Su secretly transporting cartloads of money into the mansion in the middle of the night.
Every time he brings something back, he opens the box to check the quantity before locking it again.
They could clearly see that it was all real gold and silver, and there was absolutely no way to fake it!
In the past two days, no one has left this courtyard with the box.
All of the Su family's actions were under their close surveillance, making it absolutely impossible for them to fake anything.
The captain of the Imperial Guards looked extremely grim. After leaving a squad of Imperial Guards to keep watch, he led the rest of his men away.
Those men in black were actually Silver Armor Guards brought by Xuan Guang, in disguise, deliberately putting on a show for the Golden Guards.
Shen Shuli asked them to help move all the boxes to a safe location and hide them.
After luring most of the Golden Guards away, Xuan Guang secretly returned with the Silver Armor Guards.
They were all martial artists with powerful internal strength, and they had their own ways of avoiding the Golden Guards' defenses.
The Jinwu Guards who were left behind had no idea that all of this was a setup targeting them.
Xuan Guang and his five companions easily knocked out all ten remaining Golden Guards.
They quickly stripped off their golden armor and put on black night clothes.
However, the boots worn by the Imperial Guards were not changed, nor were the exclusive badges worn by the Imperial Guards at their waists.
Everything is ready.
Su Yunhai immediately ran to the Dali Temple, which was not far away, to report the case.
Soon.
People from the Dali Temple rushed over.
Before their people arrived.
Xuan Guang and his five companions had already woken up the unconscious Jinwu Guards and were now keeping them occupied, fighting with them.
The ten Imperial Guards were still completely bewildered.
