Chapter 1235

Xu Jie looked innocent, as if he really didn't know anything.

But the general clearly didn't believe him; they had only seen Xu Jie and his group along the way, so if it wasn't them, where did the treasures in the treasury go?

One had to know that one of their tasks this time was to confiscate the treasuries.

Having controlled the Great Wu Empire for so many years, the treasures the Four Great Families had scraped together were absolutely an astronomical figure.

As for the so-called national treasury, even a mouse would leave it in tears.

In fact, the Four Great Families' treasuries were indeed excellent; after a rough look, Xu Jie and the others couldn't help but nod with satisfaction—the sect would have money again.

Looking at Xu Jie, who was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, the general felt helpless, and his gaze became strange.

As a proud disciple of the Dao One Sect, Xu Jie naturally inherited the true teachings of the Dao One Sect; he immediately frowned and said displeasedly.

"What kind of look is that? You don't suspect that we took the treasury, do you?"

"This general does not, it's just that along the way, we indeed only saw your group..."

"Nonsense, I suspect it was you who committed theft while in charge, arrived at the treasury first, and now want to frame us, and even want to frame my Junior Sister."

"What, my Junior Sister is the Great Wu Princess; you intend to frame her—are you trying to commit treason? Are you trying to rebel?"

"I, I, I..."

He never expected that after a few sentences, the situation would completely change its flavor.

Weren't they talking about the treasury? Why did it become him trying to rebel?

Staring blankly at Xu Jie, not only the general but even Lin Luochen was the same—this Third Senior Brother... was so formidable.

"What? Nothing to say?"

"I, I haven't been to the treasury."

"Then on what basis do you conclude that I took the treasury?"

"This... I..."

If it came to verbal skills, it was estimated that all the soldiers present combined were no match for Xu Jie.

He was left speechless, and at this moment, Lin Luochen also spoke up.

"The treasury was indeed not taken by us; perhaps the Zhang family moved it in advance."

Huh???

As soon as these words were spoken, the general, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and everyone else's eyes fell on Lin Luochen.

And Xu Jie even gave her a thumbs-up on the sly, as if to say, *As expected of my, Xu San's, Junior Sister. *

Lin Luochen gave a playful smile.

Perhaps only in the sect could Lin Luochen show such a mischievous side, because she had the protection of her Senior Brothers and Master.

As for the general, he was completely numb.

*You guys are exchanging glances and giving thumbs-up—can't you do that behind my back? *

But what could he say now? He could only report the truth to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide.

After a salute, the general quickly left with his men, and Xu Jie and the others, having gained a full harvest, headed to rendezvous with Hong Zun and the others.

"Hey, these Four Great Families are truly dripping with wealth."

"That's for sure, I took a look at that treasury just now; I'm afraid it's no less than the Luoxia Sect."

"And there are four such treasuries; we've really struck it rich this time."

"Junior Sister, how can you call it 'striking it rich'? The Great Wu Empire invited us to help, so paying us a reward is only natural."

"Senior Brother is right."

Along the way, the group chatted and laughed, and Lin Luochen was all smiles, not at all like the person she had been a few days ago.

The treasuries of the Four Great Families were, without exception, all pocketed by the Dao One Sect.

Regarding such matters, the Dao One Sect was long since too familiar, and they naturally did it with ease.

From the moment the sect was founded, look at the Dao One Sect—when have they ever done a losing business?

As for Lin Jun in the palace, hearing that the Four Great Families' treasuries were all empty, his mouth twitched.

He could guess with his toes that it must have been taken by the Dao One Sect.

"The sect my sister joined is really..."

He shook his head with a bitter smile, but Lin Jun also knew that without the Dao One Sect, never mind the treasuries, he would probably still be living in fear under the pressure of the Four Great Families.

"Forget it, no need to mention this again."

He tacitly accepted the matter, but even if Lin Jun was unwilling, what could he do? It was absolutely impossible to make the Dao One Sect spit out what it had already swallowed.

While speaking, the Dao One Sect group, led by Lin Luochen, slowly landed at the palace.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Jun personally came to welcome them.

Facing this young emperor, the Dao One Sect's attitude couldn't be called very enthusiastic; after all, this guy had sacrificed his own sister, and even if there were extenuating circumstances, it was hard for everyone to feel any affection for him.

Therefore, after chatting casually for a few sentences, the group was arranged to stay in Lin Luochen's sleeping quarters.

As for Lin Jun, although the Four Great Families had been destroyed, they had been deeply rooted in Great Wu for so many years, and there were still many things that needed to be handled.
