"Little sister, what's going on down there?" Nangong Xiao asked her worriedly.

"Brother, everything's alright down there for now, but you guys wait up there for a bit while I go in and check again," Nangong Wu replied, taking out a shield from her spatial storage and slowly walking towards the pile of silver.

Liang Zheng placed a mountain of silver in the most conspicuous place, possibly with a hidden mechanism.

She walked up to the pile of silver and saw that it was a silver mountain that had been carefully piled up and looked very beautiful.

Seeing that there was no danger, Nangong Wu carefully walked to the middle of the dark room. After confirming it was safe, she called out to the people above, "Brother, you can come down now!"

She put away the shield, replaced the small flashlight with a powerful LED light, and the entire underground dark room was instantly illuminated, allowing her to see everything inside.

This underground chamber is about forty square meters in size. What you see are small mountains of gold and silver, all carefully piled up into different shapes. The scale is almost comparable to the underground vault of the Wu King's Palace.

But most of their gold and silver treasures were stored in boxes.

This Liang Zheng is something else. He piled up gold and silver jewelry into beautiful mountains of gold and silver, which people could see as soon as they came down, and which glittered under the lights.

She had studied psychology in her previous life and understood that Liang Zheng was vain. He made the gold and silver mountains so cleverly and beautifully in order to satisfy the vanity that money brought him.

After the battle, Nangong Xiao and Li Zhan were shocked to see the magnificent mountains of gold and silver, their eyes dazzled by the sight.

Nangong Xiao was incredulous. "Liang Zheng is just a second-rank governor, yet he has amassed so much wealth. He probably embezzled all the money from Jianggang Prefecture and Runan Prefecture, didn't he?"

"Liang Zheng has been here for nearly thirty years, and he has been all-powerful. He has not accomplished anything in the two prefectures. Instead, he only knows how to ask the court for money. As a result, the bandits have become more rampant, and the people have fled one after another."

Emperor Mingde was blind to the truth, appointing such a person without a shred of suspicion, allowing Liang Zheng to firmly establish himself as a local tyrant. Li Zhan was indignant.

Nangong Wu said calmly, "Emperor Mingde sits high on his dragon throne. All the news about local officials is relayed to him by the imperial censors. Moreover, Liang Zheng is cunning and treacherous, and he leaves no trace of anything. Emperor Mingde is completely unaware of anything!"

This was the first time Nangong Xiao had ever seen so much treasure. After walking through the secret room, he exclaimed, "Sister, with all this gold and silver, you won't have to worry about running out of money if you want to expand Runan City in the future!"

"Brother, I will use this silver to benefit the people of both states." Nangong Wu gently raised her hand, and with a slight thought, she put all the gold and silver treasures into her spatial storage.

"Waaaaah..."

Eileen and Aiqi screamed when they saw mountains of gold and silver appearing in the space.

In about twenty seconds, she had taken everything from the underground vault!

When she moved these things, she also triggered a mechanism. Suddenly, countless hidden arrow holes appeared on the four walls, and arrows rained down on them like a storm.

"Be careful!"

Nangong Xiao and Li Zhan exclaimed in surprise and instinctively stood to the left and right of Nangong Wu.

Suddenly, they were pulled by a force, and the surrounding light changed.

"this……"

Nangong Xiao had just drawn his sword when he saw the sudden change in his surroundings, and his expression changed drastically. "Sister..."

"Brother, we're all alright now." Nangong Wu took his hand.

Nangong Xiao had never been into her space before, and she suddenly pulled him in, especially in a dangerous situation, so it was inevitable that he would worry.

Seeing that she was alright, Nangong Xiao was relieved. "Little sister, where is this place?"

Nangong Wu smiled and said, "Brother, you already know that I have the ability to take things out of thin air."

"I see!" Nangong Xiao suddenly realized, slapping his forehead. "The situation was so urgent that I forgot about that."

My sister must have put the treasure away in this magical place, and those magical weapons, the helicopter, and many other magical things must have been taken from here as well.

"That was too dangerous! Luckily, Your Highness saved us in time." Li Zhan had already been in this space before, so he seemed much calmer.

Nangong Wu looked at the two of them and said, "Brother, you are my own brother; Li Zhan, you Flying Feather Guards are all my brothers who have risked their lives for me, I will not let you be in danger."

Several years ago, her father was murdered and his fate was unknown. The Prince's Mansion was seized by Nangong Qi. The original owner was in such a situation. Yet, the Flying Feather Guards did not give up on them. In order to find Huo Jing, so many people sacrificed themselves. Their loyalty is beyond question.

Li Zhan was moved: "Your Highness, the Princess and the Prince have both treated us well, and so have you. Your subordinate..."

Nangong Wu raised her hand slightly. "I won't say thank you. You will always be my family."

At this moment, the rain of arrows outside the space had stopped, and the underground chamber returned to silence.

With a slight thought, Nangong Wu found the three of them in the underground chamber again.

The dark room was now empty, except for the four walls that were covered with hidden arrows.

"Li Zhan, didn't you just say you discovered an underground passage?" She remembered Li Zhan mentioning the existence of a secret passage.

"Your Highness, it's here." Li Zhan walked back to the entrance of the secret passage.

Nangong Wu followed and found that the entrance to the secret passage was actually on the other side of the entrance.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Xiao also sneered, "Liang Zheng is indeed cunning and treacherous. Knowing that he has committed numerous evils and fearing that the court might one day investigate him, he has already prepared his escape route!"

Once the Liang family leaves Runan City, no matter how many soldiers the imperial court sends, it will be difficult to capture them.

"Your Highness, shall we go into the secret passage to investigate?" Li Zhan asked.

"Okay." Nangong Wu looked at the entrance to the secret passage.

This secret passage was used by Liang Zheng for his escape. Not many people know about it. Finding out where the exit is might be useful to them in the future.

"Brother, you go up first. Li Zhan, come with me inside." After she finished speaking, she entered the secret passage.

Li Zhan nodded slightly to Nangong Xiao and then entered the secret passage.

When they emerged from the secret passage, they found themselves in an ordinary little house.

The small courtyard has three main rooms and two rooms each in the east and west wings, with signs that it has been ransacked.

Nangong Wu took out a detector and checked it, but found no gold or silver.

Li Zhan inspected the area and returned to report: "Your Highness, the gates of the residence have been sealed by our men."

"Let's go back first and continue searching their warehouse."

Next, Nangong Wu searched all the houses where the Liang family lived, and found all the gold and silver treasures in the storerooms and the hidden rooms in the basement.

Three days later, Runan City finally quieted down.

The entire Liang family clan was wiped out, and nearly a thousand corpses were dragged out of the city by the people of Runan and thrown into a large pit, where they were to be buried with soil.
