Chapter 131: Burglary at Home

gs.Though Luo Zhifu’s chest heaved with his words, there wasn't a single useful one uttered. Instead, he quickly and neatly pushed all responsibility onto others.First, report to the superiors and th...Inside the palace, a group of princes and princesses surrounded Zhang Liyang, their eyes gleaming with malicious glee as they shifted their gaze between Mu Zhan and Zhang Liyang.

They all knew Mu Zhan's character, a single insult like "old eunuch dog" would be enough to make Mu Zhan drink a whole pot of anger. And Zhang Liyang, who provoked this incident, was sure to be held a grudge by Mu Zhan.

Don't bring up Princess Huaqing's personal eunuch. For a prince, the personal eunuch of a princess, especially one without a mother to back her up, is someone he can easily manipulate.

Zhang Liyang also felt the anger in Mu Zhanwang's gaze, feeling extremely helpless inside. This was completely a disaster that came out of nowhere.

Could it be that this palace is cursed against me

"Are they the ones who are getting the better of me Or should I just take them all out"

It's estimated that these princes and princesses wouldn't have even dreamt of what was going on in the eunuch's mind as he bowed before them.

"No, I'll scrap them, and I guess I won't live either."

Just as Zhang Liyang's mind was filled with rebellious thoughts, Mu Faguo also spoke up, "Alright, I have nothing else to do here. You can leave now."

Still, Mufa sang waved her hand and Zhang Liyang let out a silent sigh of relief, stopping the frantic thoughts in his mind. He bowed to everyone, "I take my leave."

Seeing Zhang Liyang's salute, Mu Zhan's anger flared even more. However, he couldn't erupt at the moment but still kept this matter in his heart.

Stepping out of the palace, Zhang Liyang let out a long breath and then strode quickly towards Yuqing Palace.

Even though Mu Yinghua is gone, it's still the former Empress's palace. After all, people still come to sweep and polish it every day.

So when Zhang Liyang walked into the Yuanqing Palace, the hall was still spotless, only a few places made Zhang Liyang feel a little awkward.

"Good to see you, Manager!"

A group of young eunuchs and maidservants were startled when Zhang Liyang entered. They then scurried to his presence and bowed.

Zhang Liyang's chief steward is different from Feng Zhen. Feng Zhen is the chief steward of all eunuchs in the entire Dagan Dynasty, while Zhang Liyang is only the chief steward of Yuan Qinggong.

All I can control is this one and a half acres of the Yuanqing Palace.

If Empress Yuanqing were still alive, Zhang Liyang's power might be even greater, but now he can only control a few small cats right in front of him.

"Get up." He waved his hand, and Zhang Liyang sat down on a chair beside him. "During the time I was with Your Highness, nothing major happened, right"

"All is well, reporting to the manager."

"Well, that's normal. You can go now."

Actually, back at Yuqing Palace, Zhang Liyang had nothing to do. He couldn't go anywhere else, and if he ran into those people again, Zhang Liyang estimated that he would be depressed to death. Fortunately, there was a small pond inside Yuqing Palace, allowing Zhang Liyang to continue his fishing cultivation with a straight hook.

In the evening, a group of eunuchs brought Zhang Liyang, the chief eunuch, a sumptuous dinner. Looking at the feast on the table, Zhang Liyang turned to the eunuch beside him and asked, "How much does Yuanqinggong receive each month"

Three thousand two.

"Isn't that right I remember the princess's allowance was also credited to Yuanqing Palace."

Zhang Liyang's words caused a slight tremor in the eunuchs at the table. They quickly smiled and said, "The manager is wise, I have indeed forgotten to add the Lord's allowance."

“With the princess’s allowance added in, Yuanqing Palace receives three thousand six hundred taels every month.”

"Three thousand six hundred taels," Zhang Liyang nodded. "I followed the Prince for almost ten months, which means that currently, there are about thirty thousand taels of regular money in Yuanqing Palace, right"

"Well... yes."

The food and drink of eunuchs and palace maids are not included in the monthly allowances given to the various concubines in the imperial harem. Therefore, according to Zhang Liyang's calculations, Yuan Qing's Palace should have accumulated tens of thousands taels of silver.

Looking only at the eunuch in front of him, his face slightly trembling and pale, he knew there must be something fishy going on.

At this time, Zhang Liyang also recalled the feeling of awkwardness he had felt when he first stepped into Yuqing Palace. It was caused by the fact that it was a little different from the Yuqing Palace in his memory.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Liyang stood up and walked to a desk, pointing to the empty space beside it. "I remember there should be a big vase here, how come I can't see it"

"And also this, I remember there's a piece of jade used as a paperweight here, which you guys have put away"

"And what about those red crystal cups Where did they go"

As Zhang Liyang pointed out one place after another, the eunuchs following behind Zhang Liyang's face became paler and paler.

"Didn't you guys secretly sell these"

Zhang Liyang's last words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing this eunuch to collapse to the ground.

Bang, bang~.

"Sounds of kowtowing kept ringing out, this eunuch struggled to kneel before Zhang Liyang, “Grand Supervisor, please spare my life, I dare not again, Grand Supervisor, please have mercy!”

To privately sell palace items is a death penalty for an eunuch!

Looking at the eunuchs kowtowing incessantly, Zhang Liyang remained silent for a moment, "I can spare you, but you need to bring back those things."

At first, the eunuch thought there was a chance, but Zhang Liyang's words afterwards plunged him back into despair, "Spare my life, Master Administrator, I can't find it back…"

"If you can't get it back, then what about the money you sold"

"This...this..."

Seeing this, the eunuch was still hesitating. Zhang Liyang immediately flew into a rage, "Don't say it Well then, don't say it!"

"I'd like to see how you talk when you're in jail."

"Lord, please spare my life! I'll say anything, just please!"

With the eunuch's confession, Zhang Liyang also learned what had happened during his absence.

This group of eunuchs thought that Zhang Liyang and Mu Yinghua had been sent out of the palace and demoted, and that they would never be able to come back for the rest of their lives.

So after several months of observation, these people grew bolder and started to sell small, inconspicuous items from the Yuanqing Palace.

Seeing that the first few eunuchs had no problems, others who were watching followed suit and became increasingly bold.

If Zhang Liyang arrives any later, the Yuqing Palace could be emptied by these greedy people.

"Presumptuous!"

A gust of wind scattered, directly blowing the eunuch backwards. Even with his head broken, he didn't dare to resist or even move, continuing to tremble on the ground and beg for mercy from Zhang Liyang.

It is no wonder Zhang Liyang was so angry. Although both Zhang Liyang and Mu Yinghua disliked this imperial palace, they still had feelings for Yuan Qing Palace and still saw it as their home.

Now that the house has been robbed, how can we prevent Zhang Liyang from getting angry

"To whom did you sell it"

Anyone who dares to take things from the palace must have a significant background.

"We don't know who it is, but we heard it might be the Fifth Prince's shadow."

"Fifth Prince Mu Zhan"

Zhang Liyang was slightly taken aback, then his eyes flickered.d all four graces, the entire square fell silent for a moment before erupting in a thunderous roar like mountains and seas."Long live the Great Qin Dynasty!""Long live the Emperor!"Your Highness!Altho...
