Capítulo 567: Repression

At that time, Qi Xiuyuan was focused on the war, so in the end, he only sent 2,000 people to surround the treasury and continued fighting. When he opened the treasury, he also suspected that the soldiers had stolen it, but he quickly dismissed this idea.

The 2,000 soldiers were all trustworthy people. Moreover, there were his trusted aides among them. Considering they were not familiar with Lin'an City, it would have caused a huge commotion if they had stolen from it. It was impossible for them to do such a thing.

Therefore, the only possibility was that the treasury was already empty before he ordered his men to surround it.

However, he also didn't believe that the Second Prince had emptied the treasury. Just as Mu Yangling had said, since Qi Xiuyuan had attacked Lin'an City suddenly, it was impossible for the Second Prince to be prepared in advance. Moreover, he would be courting death by carrying so much money when fleeing.
