NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 392 - 392 Where is the Treasure?
Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Where is the Treasure?
“Harming the Tong Family is equivalent to harming me, bear the consequences.”
The words were domineering.
Bear the consequences, these four simple words represent countless possibilities.
None of those present were illiterate; they could all read these eleven words.
Qiao Xiaomai stared at the powerful calligraphy, her face turning blank.
The shocking news came one after another, accumulating until she was nearly overwhelmed.
Originally, she was already panicked and confused about what to do, and now the decree made it out like harming the Tong Family was equivalent to harming Emperor Yongan.
What the hell is this plot twist?
The convoluted storyline seemed to twist and turn as if it had nine curves and eighteen bends, couldn’t it be a little simpler?
There must be some secret behind all this!
The Tong Family intended to rebel!
What is this decree all about?
Not only was Qiao Xiaomai thinking like this, Yang Wang and Cen Hong also looked as though they had swallowed a dead mouse; their already somber faces were turning even more horrid.
What the hell does this mean?
Considering his previous actions against Tong Sanlang, Cen Hong subconsciously clenched his hands, the sharp nails piercing his palms. Unaware of the pain, he wondered how could Emperor Yongan have such a connection with the village chief of a small mountain village?!
Damn!
What a trap!
Originally thought they were picking a soft persimmon, instead they had kicked an iron board!
Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu also looked dumbfounded.
They were the ones closest to the line of death, had one foot already stepped into the underworld, but suddenly a decree was issued, not only pulling their feet out of the underworld, but also dressing them in iron cloth armor.
No, it’s more than iron cloth armor, it’s the imperial halo.
The Tong Family has always been secretly preparing to rebel, and now, their status is finally the same as that of the Emperor…
Should they be happy or should they cry?
” Why is there such a decree?” Yang Wang asked with a somber face.
“That would be a question for the Tong Family. ” Yang Ye looked at Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang as he said this, his eyebrows furrowed. He had previously planned to take down the Tong Family, but with this decree, he felt somewhat slapped in the face.
“Village Chief Tong, do you know my father?” Yang Ye speculated the possibilities.
Tong Tiehu shook his head with a complicated expression on his face, saying, “I don’t know.”
“Then why would my father issue such a decree?” Yang Ye continued to ask.
“My lord, our shock and confusion is no less than yours.”
“Then tell me, where has the treasure in the underground vault gone?” Yang Ye asked further.
With this decree, he had confirmed that the Tong Family had something to do with the treasure. Since that’s the case, he might as well ask openly.
Tong Tiehu shook his head, “My lord, I don’t know.”
Could he say that the treasure had gone into Qiao Xiaomai’s space?
Could he say it?
He couldn’t say it.
Qiao Xiaomai had gone to such lengths for his grandson, how could he expose her?
He must keep this a secret.
At this moment, Yang Wang finally came to his senses. He had set his sights on the Tong Family before, but due to lack of evidence, he hadn’t planned to torture them for confessions, just wanted to dig for the treasure.
But now he knew the instructions of the previous emperor.
He also knew the content of Emperor Yongan’s secret edict.
The Tong Family absolutely had a connection to the treasure.
On thinking of this, his face grew darker.
Damn, he was fooled, and only realized it now!
Don’t bother digging in the village, just torture this father and son duo!
“You don’t know? Both the former Emperor and the current Emperor have explicitly instructed to protect the Tong Family. What are you afraid of? The people of Shuifeng Prefecture in the west are suffering, hand over the treasure quickly.”
