Chapter 1149 Treasury Troubles

"Watch them, don't let any of them escape!" Selmy ordered loudly, asking his deputy general to lead his troops to guard Yamil and others. Then he quickly followed Jia Zhengjin into the manor, not daring to stay too far away from him.

After all, he was also nervous. If the strong men from the Dark Temple were really found, it would be very dangerous. At least by following the God Slayer, you can ensure your own safety.

The army launched a carpet-like search in the manor, not missing any suspicious places. Whether it is the courtyard, corridor, hall, bathroom, or even the bedroom, look carefully under or behind every piece of furniture.

However, when Jia Zhengjin led the team in, the soldiers he met along the way reported that except for members of the Tonard family, no suspicious people were found.

At first, Selmy thought that maybe he didn't search carefully. But then he gradually began to worry, so he couldn't help but whisper to Jia Zhengjin in front of him: "Lord Keen, I have almost searched the entire manor and found nothing! If I make a mistake, it will be a very serious matter for me! Ymir has a very high reputation in Mindoga City, so treating him like this will arouse people’s anger!”

"You mean, you doubt the authenticity of what I said?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and asked.

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Selmy's expression changed and he shook his head hurriedly.

"You don't have to worry," Jia Zhengjin said, "I don't believe that we can't find any evidence! Besides, we still have 43 witnesses, and we can't allow the other party to deny it. Even if there is nothing suspicious in the manor, it doesn't prove that he Just innocent."

"What you're talking about is..." Selmy sighed inwardly, but with the God Killer on his side, at least the people would not direct all their anger on themselves. And if there are really 43 personal witnesses, it can also be used as an explanation to make the public believe this matter.

Jia Zhengjin personally led the team around the manor, but found nothing suspicious.

It can be seen that the Tonard family is also very cautious. I wonder if they didn't harbor members of the Dark Temple at all, or did they send them away in advance because they knew they would be discovered?

If it is the former, then it should be very difficult to find evidence. The only way to convict is to rely on the evidence from Yamil Villa and the confessions of the 43 rescued civilians. This is not perfect, and there will definitely be a large number of people who have benefited from Yamil to come forward. When the time comes, I will be able to suppress him as a god-slayer. If you do this, no one will dare to object, but it will cause a certain loss to Jia Zhengjin's own reputation.

If it’s the latter, that’s serious! There must be no problem on Jia Zhengjin's side, that is to say, before Selmi dispatched his troops, someone had secretly tipped off Yamil, causing the team to return without success. If there are people from Amir among the civil and military officials,

That wouldn't be fun!

"How's it going? Did you find anything suspicious?" After another round and still no results, Selmy became nervous and stopped the soldiers coming and going and asked loudly.

"Report to the general, we have dug three feet into the ground and still haven't found anything suspicious!" the soldier responded loudly.

"What's going on over there?" Jia Zhengjin pointed to a warehouse-like building. A group of soldiers were outside the door, all with stunned expressions.

"Report to Mr. Keen," the soldier immediately replied when he saw him pointing in that direction, "We accidentally opened the vault of the Tonas family, and everyone was shocked by the gold and silver treasures inside! But those belong to the Tonas family. Private property, unless there is a clear sentence and conviction, no one is allowed to touch it at will, and no one is allowed to enter easily, otherwise anything missing in the future will be our responsibility..."

"Really?" Jia Zhengjin snorted, "I think this place is quite suspicious!"

"Ah?" Selmi saw Jia Zhengjin going to the treasury and quickly reached out to intercept him, "Lord Keen, our country has laws that clearly stipulate that this is protected by the Private Property Protection Act. Before the decision is finalized, it must not be approached or moved easily. one cent."

"Really?" Jia Zhengjin said after hearing this, "That's right! Couldn't someone just take advantage of this legal loophole to set up a secret room or passage in the treasury? Since I have searched the manor and found nothing, I can't say for sure. in!"

"But Sir Keen..." Selmy looked embarrassed, "If as a general, I don't abide by the law, how can I assist His Royal Highness in managing this country in the future..."

"There are problems with your laws. If the other party is indeed a prisoner, there is no need to protect his property!" Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Even if I don't abide by this law, you have nothing to say, right?"

Selmy's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, even if he uses his identity as the God Killer, it would be too disrespectful to say this, right? Not only was he denied face, but he was also slapped in the face!

But he didn't dare to object, so he could only smile bitterly: "Master Keen is joking, a transcendent person like you..."

"That's it!" Jia Zhengjin led the team straight to the front of the vault and shouted, "Get out of my way!"

"Crash!!" The soldiers immediately moved to both sides, and no one dared to block his way.

"Hey~" What else could Selmy do? Not to mention the coastal countries, even the kings of the four major empires could only bow and kneel in front of the God Killer. What does a general of a small country mean to him?

The law is originally used to restrain the people. Many powerful people in this world who are beyond the law disdain it, and no one dares to do anything.

Ninth-level experts have a very casual attitude towards the laws of various countries, because no one can rule them. He is willing to abide by it, and you have to be grateful. If he is not happy, you can only touch your nose.

This is true for ninth-level experts, not to mention the God-killer!

However, Selmy also had expectations in his heart. Since the God Killer personally waded into this muddy water, he would have a shield when the people protested, so that he would not be too embarrassed. The one who submits and kills gods, no one will say anything wrong about him.

If people from the Dark Temple are really found from the vault, or there are relatively good evidences, then this matter will be even more problematic!

At the moment of thinking, Jia Zhengjin had already entered the vault directly.

The vault doesn't seem big from the outside, but once you enter, you find it's very spacious inside. Moreover, in the vault, there are neatly classified gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, gold bars, gold bricks and various gold and silver jewelry. They are all piled up in an astonishing amount!

Seeing these treasures, the eyes of Connie and Liz, the dragon mother and daughter, suddenly lit up.

However, Jia Zhengjin moved a step faster, and before they could react, he flashed over and quickly started putting all the treasures into the virtual backpack. A lot of them came out at once, and a lot of them were collected quickly.

When about half of the treasure was gone, Connie rushed over to snatch the remaining pieces from him, and Liz immediately helped.

The dragon mother and daughter grabbed the money too fast. Jia Zhengjin was so anxious that he shouted while grabbing: "What are you doing standing still? Come and help me!! Connie, there is so much money in your lair, why are you grabbing it from me?" ?”

"Everyone who meets you has a share!" Connie's movements were not slow at all.

When Sienna, Stein, Claire and others saw this, they all took out their cotton bags and rushed in. Only Selmy was left alone and turned into a statue, messy in the wind.
