"Who did it? Who did it?!"

Mo Guiyuan uttered the most out-of-control roar in his life.

He is a man with a strong desire to control, not only for others, but also for himself.

But right now, he couldn't control his emotions.

He couldn't keep his composure any longer.

The capital he was proud of, all his wealth, disappeared!

The Great Elder also saw the empty cellar, and was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.

In the White Lotus Sect, the rudder master mainly manages the sub-rudders, and at the same time performs various tasks assigned by the leader, while the elders mostly take care of the affairs of the church.

He has helped manage the treasury for many years, and he has never had any troubles, and he has won the trust of the leader.

Who can tell him what happened to this scene in front of him?

Is it because he is old and dim?

Mo Guiyuan's murderous eyes fell on the First Elder.

The Great Elder knelt down with a plop: "Master... this subordinate has neglected his duties... this subordinate deserves death...but this subordinate... this subordinate doesn't know what's going on... this subordinate clearly came in yesterday to count... "

The first thing the Great Elder gets up every day is to count the gold, and the last thing before going to bed is to count the gold.

It's just that last night, because too many people from the imperial court broke into the forest, he circled around in various passages, and he didn't return until dawn, and fell asleep right away.

After waking up, he received an order from the leader to negotiate with Master Wu about recruiting troops, which was delayed.

Who would have thought that after forgetting to count twice, the gold would be gone?

"Subordinate... this subordinate will send someone to look for it!"

The Great Elder took people to look for it himself, and searched every secret passage and every cellar, but found nothing!

The disciple who arrested the five tigers yesterday said: "Grand Elder, a few people from the imperial court came last night and were arrested by us. Then they ran away again. Could it be that they did it?"

Through his description of the appearance of several people, Mo Guiyuan basically confirmed that they were the group who left the passage with Wei Ting this morning.

Mo Guiyuan watched them leave with his own eyes, they didn't bring any gold!

The Great Elder said: "Master, it's not the brothers who did it... Not to mention whether they have the guts, just moving so many boxes of gold, it's impossible for no one to find out... Besides, where did they hide it? We are very familiar with Taolin, if we really want to look for it, can we still not find it?"

Of course Mo Guiyuan understood this truth, so he was even more puzzled.

So much gold, where did it go? Could it have disappeared out of thin air?

The Great Elder remembered that he also had a dog. The dog had a sharp nose. He asked someone to bring the dog here. If someone really moved the gold, it would definitely be able to track it down.

However, what is incredible is that the dog just circled in the empty cellar.

Mo Guiyuan frowned: "What do you mean? Could it be that the gold never left the cellar?"

The Great Elder murmured: "But, it may be that the dog's nose is broken."

Things suddenly became confusing.

Mo Guiyuan touched the jade wrench on his left thumb. For the first time in his life, he felt that things were beyond his control.

It's not a good feeling.

"A thorough investigation!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This subordinate will definitely find the gold after digging three feet into the ground!"

The Great Elder is very aware of Mo Guiyuan's methods, he is generous in rewards, and can make life worse than death in punishments.

Mo Guiyuan was not happy.

If he is not happy, those people in the woods will be in trouble.

He originally planned to let them fend for themselves, if they were alive, they would run away if they escaped, but now, he changed his mind.

"Catch them to this seat!"

Zhang Feng bowed his hands solemnly: "Yes!"

The three of Leng's family had already left the miasma forest to the north, and they could completely leave the sphere of influence of the White Lotus Sect by walking two miles further.

But the moment they escaped, the master of the White Lotus Sect arrived.

General Leng and Leng Zhiruo avoided the surprise attack of the White Lotus Sect by virtue of their excellent lightness skills, but Leng Rui was caught by the big net of the White Lotus Sect.

"Father—save me—"

Accompanied by screams like killing a pig, Leng Rui was dragged back to the miasma forest by the White Lotus Sect.

The gas mask was on Leng Rui's body. General Leng wanted to chase after him, but he also knew that once he lost the mask, he would die without a doubt.

He clenched his fist tightly: "Bai, Lian, Jiao!"

Xiao Duye and Xu Qing also quickly escaped from the forest.

Xiao Duye didn't expect that all the masters sent to him by his father were wiped out, but Xu Qing, whom he impatiently brought along, helped him resolve crises time and time again.

It's a pity that this is the territory of the White Lotus Sect after all, no matter how powerful Xu Qing is, he is outnumbered, and the two of them were finally captured.

In this confrontation, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses, as did Emperor Jingxuan.

So many masters are gone, and the son has been arrested, how can it be such a tragic word?

Knowing this earlier, he let Zhenbei Hou enter the peach forest and let General Leng garrison the entrance.

Originally, he planned to give the Leng family a chance to practice and make meritorious deeds, and by the way, to train the successors of Qin Canglan and Su Shuo. Who would have thought that he misestimated the strength of the White Lotus Sect, and underestimated the danger of Taolin.

"It's because I didn't protect my elder brother well, please forgive my father!"

"Get up, it's not your fault, I'm very pleased that you came out alive. Call the third child."

Emperor Jingxuan couldn't bear to blame his second son, so he vented all his anger on Xiao Chonghua.

He scolded angrily: "You deliberately concealed the danger of Taolin, is it to let your brothers go in and die?"

Xiao Chonghua looked at Emperor Jingxuan quietly: "Father, it is not the son who sent the brothers to Taolin, but the father yourself. From the beginning to the end, the son never encouraged the brothers to go to Taolin to take risks."

Emperor Jingxuan choked.

Xiao Chonghua said softly: "Father wants my brothers to make meritorious service, but he doesn't want them to take risks. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it is possible, my son is willing to be a hostage on behalf of the elder brother. It depends on whether the White Lotus Sect wants it or not." .”

Of course, the White Lotus Sect does not want an unfavored third prince.

Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that his heart ached.

He looked at Xiao Chonghua coldly, and had an illusion in a trance—this son, who had never been valued highly, had grown up, and his wings were hardened.

When did it start?

I didn't realize it.

To some extent, both Emperor Jingxuan and Mo Guiyuan are extremely controlling people.

It's just that Mo Guiyuan is more extreme and paranoid than Emperor Jingxuan.

Xiao Chonghua asked: "Is there any order from the father? If not, my son will retire."

His appearance made Emperor Jingxuan very angry.

Emperor Jingxuan scolded: "Go outside and kneel for me!"

"yes."

Xiao Chonghua complied obediently, came outside the imperial study with a blank face, lifted his hem, straightened his spine and knelt down.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating his stern face flickeringly.

This son is indeed different from before.

In the past, he would be good-looking, courteous, beg for mercy, and follow his own wishes.

Tonight, I would rather kneel in the thunderstorm than bow my head and admit my mistake.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at Xiao Chonghua in the heavy rain, and thought of everything today, suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood——

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"
