The sky was gradually getting brighter. The building was still intact, but there were probably not many people inside who could move. Although some people still had strength, they had been exposed to smoke for half the night and were probably half dead by now.
"Drag everyone out."
When Li Xiang finished speaking, the people around him were about to rush forward, but some people were faster than them. These people were the guards of the East Palace.
Only then did Cheng Chuliang and his companions realize that there were hundreds of East Palace guards around them.
"I appreciate your kindness, brothers. If a fight breaks out inside and your men get hurt, I'd feel bad."
Li Xiang saw the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces and immediately gave an explanation. After hearing Li Xiang's words, these people smiled and nodded. Although last night seemed dangerous, no one died except for a few injured people.
Li Xiang is a guy worth making friends with. He always takes on dangerous tasks with his own people. Although others came with their own people, there was not much danger that night. Now the sound of fighting was heard in the building. Li Xiang let his own people take the risk, and everyone admired him in their hearts!
Although there were still a few people inside who had strength, it only took a cup of tea before people were continuously thrown out from the upstairs. It was impossible to tell what the faces of most of them looked like. After all, they had been fumigated all night. If they were thrown into Africa, they would all be locals.
"I am Zat'erke, I am the prince of Tuyuhun..."
Of course, one of them was carried down. This person was covered in black and was obviously in better mental state than the others. This person was the one Li Xiang was looking for. In addition, a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were carried out from upstairs.
"Get out of my way."
Changsun rushed forward and kicked him. He had disliked this guy for a long time. What time is it now? Are you still a prince?
"Your Highness, after a preliminary inventory, the total value is approximately 130,000 strings of cash."
After hearing this figure, everyone present was shocked. They had heard about the Tuyuhun merchants making money, but they didn't expect them to make so much money. You know, they would transport a lot of money back every month. This was just one month's profit. If you calculate it for the whole year, they would make a profit of one million strings of cash every year in Chang'an City alone, which was almost one-tenth of the Tang Dynasty court.
"Brothers, let's divide it together."
Li Xiang has never cared about money. Although there are tens of thousands of strings of money here, it is just a number to Li Xiang. As long as he wants to make money, he can make it at any time.
"Your Highness, you must be joking. We were just cheering and waving flags in the back, and we didn't put in much effort. I moved this box away, so I consider it ours."
Yuchi Baolin also looked down on these things. Although others wanted to get rich, Yuchi Baolin was the first to do so, so others did not dare to covet the remaining money, otherwise they would be laughed at.
Seeing that Li Xiang was able to control the situation here, Yuchi Baolin decided not to stay here. After all, they were bandits.
"I'm going with Brother Baolin, and I'll take a box too."
Cheng Chuliang dusted himself off, picked up a box at random and left. This guy was very strong, as the box must have weighed at least 70 or 80 kilograms.
"Take this box and let's go."
Chang Sun Chong was a bit greedy and picked the largest box. However, he cried when he got home. Although the two people in front of him had small boxes, most of them were filled with gold and silver ingots, while Chang Sun Chong's box was filled with copper coins...
"Your Highness, I will serve you from today on. It is useless for us to ask for money."
Eunuch Xie said just this, and then stood obediently beside Li Xiang. They had no intention of asking for money. They were all loyal followers of Empress Changsun, and now they saw that Li Xiang was useful, which made them happier than getting money for free.
"Qian Ping, divide the things here among us and give 20,000 strings of cash to each family."
Anyway, the money is not ours. Even if they don't want it, we can't just put it away. Just because they brought people here last night, we can't let them suffer any loss.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. It will be delivered before dark today."
Although Qian Ping is a greedy person, he also knows what money he should take and what money he should not take. The money now must be distributed, otherwise who will help us in the future?
After finishing these trivial matters, Li Xiang walked up to Zatlk.
"Kill me if you want. I won't even frown...ah..."
Zatlk was a tough guy the previous second and wanted to show his support when he saw Li Xiang, but he screamed the next second. The reason was simple: Li Xiang stepped on the wound on this guy's foot.
"If you're not cut out for it, don't pretend to be tough. You're clearly a softie. What's the point of pretending with me? You sent someone to assassinate me, and I uprooted your base in Chang'an City. There's a cause and effect relationship. What did you gain by assassinating me? Aside from a bunch of people dying, you gained nothing."
Li Xiang sneered and said that he had to defeat this guy mentally. This was what Li Xiang had to do. He had long seen that Zatlk was not the tough guy he seemed.
To be honest, Zatlk was scared when he was up there just now, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Li Xiang. After hearing what Li Xiang said, this guy felt a bitterness in his heart. It was indeed as Li Xiang said. He originally wanted to take revenge, but in the end, he didn't get any revenge at all, and instead so many people died.
"Drag him out and tear him into pieces. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens to him."
Li Xiang saw a trace of fear in Zatlk's eyes, and deliberately said it loudly, a person who is afraid of death will never let himself die, and there may be unexpected gains at the last moment.
"Wait, wait, wait... I have something to say. I still have money, a lot of it. You can't kill me. I still have a lot of assets... As long as you don't kill me, I'll give them all to you... And Hou Junji, I have evidence, I have evidence that he's breaking the law..."
Li Xiang guessed correctly. Zatlk was a coward. When he knew that he was going to be torn into pieces by five horses, he had only one idea in his mind, which was to let Li Xiang see his usefulness and perhaps save his life.
In just one night, too many people died here, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Zat'rk knew that Li Xiang was true to his word, and he had to seize this last chance...
