Chapter 21 — Holy Order of Dowry

When he saw me, he tried to struggle and wanted to kneel. I squatted down and pressed his shoulder. "Don't move." He tried to stuff the iron scroll into my chest. "Your Majesty, the side book." "The old general's case, the book is here." I took the iron roll, my palm was so hot I had to withdraw it. Mother Qin quickly wrapped it in a handkerchief. General Tran spat out a mouthful of black blood. "There was still a copy of the general ledger, which was robbed by them and brought to the North gate." "They were planning to leave the city." Han Than stood up suddenly. "Who took it away?" General Tran Tham's throat made a cracking sound. "Head of the Right Thi Lang Ministry of War." "The same soldier of Thieu Palace." As soon as he finished speaking, from deep inside the Nam Treasury, the sound of a wooden column cracking was heard. The commander of the forbidden army shouted loudly. "The top of the warehouse is about to collapse." I looked at General Tran. "Can you still save me?" The military doctor following him shook his head slightly, his eyes red. General Tran Tham smiled again. "In the past, General Tham saved my family's lives." "Today, this debt is considered to have been paid." Han Than knelt next to him, his only arm holding his hand tightly. "Brother, I don't owe the Tham family anything." General Tran Tham's eyes slowly scattered. His last gaze looked towards me. "Your Highness, don't let them leave the city." His hand dropped down. I stood up holding the reel, fire shining in my eyes, red as blood. I don't have time to cry. Crying is also not allowed. I turned to look at the commander of the forbidden army. "Split the army." "One team saved the remaining accounts in the Southern treasury." "One team chased me to the North gate." The commander hesitated. "Your Highness, if there is an ambush at the North gate, you should not go personally." I handed the rolled tube to Ma Ma Tan. "What they want is the old evidence of the Tham family." "If I don't go, who can recognize what needs to be kept and what can be destroyed." Han Than replied in a deep voice: “The General is going with the Great Miss.” The military commander gritted his teeth and nodded. War horses were quickly brought there. I don't know how to ride a horse. Han Than immediately ordered someone to change to a light vehicle, with four soldiers on horseback escorting him. The wheel screeched through a pile of broken tiles outside the South warehouse, heading straight for the North door. People on the long road were awakened by the noise of the fire, competing to open their doors and peek their heads out. Someone recognized the Regent's car badge, but saw the forbidden army opening the way, and quickly shrank back in fear. I sat in the car and opened the iron tube that General Tran gave me. Inside was a roll of oilcloth. The oilcloth was opened, hiding half a notebook containing weapons coordination notes. Each page clearly states the West Police's military designation, the food shipment and the number of weapons. The last page bears three stamps. Army. Old Indian royal palace. There is also a seal of the internal treasury. My finger stopped on that seal. It turns out the people from the old street weren't lying. This case has indeed passed through the palace gate. Mother Qin's face was as white as paper. "Your Highness, how should we investigate this matter?" I closed the notebook. "Hand it over to the palace." "Let Your Majesty see for yourself, whose hands are there in his palace?" The carriage suddenly stopped suddenly. Outside, there was the sound of a sword being pulled out of its sheath. The commander of the forbidden army shouted loudly: "Who is blocking the way?" A familiar voice rang out outside the car. "It's my king." The wind blew the car curtains. Tieu Thua Canh rode his horse and stood tall in the middle of the road, leading more than a dozen bodyguards behind him. His face was pale, his eyes were full of red blood. "The North gate has been sealed." I looked at him. "Didn't Your Majesty order the Royal Family to stay in the palace?" His hand holding the reins tightened. "The royal concubine has opened up half a sentence." "She said, if the North gate can't get out of the city, they will go to the water gate." My heart sank.

The northern water gate of the citadel connects directly with the canal protecting the citadel. Before dawn, cargo ships are busiest. If you blend in there, it will be difficult to pursue. Han Than coldly exclaimed: "Your Majesty has come at the right time." Tieu Thua Canh did not object. He just looked at me. "Tham Van Chi, this time, I will take you to look for evidence." I lifted the car curtain, meeting his eyes. "If you chase the Thai Phi's people, will the Royal Family still stop you?" He was silent for a beat, pulled out the command card from his waist, and threw it straight at the military commander. "If this king stops me, then just charge me with the crime of resisting the command of the same party and arrest me." I looked at the command card. falling in the morning dew. At the end of the street suddenly came a shrill siren. A detective horse galloped forward. "Your Majesty, there is a boat that crosses the fence at Bac Thuy Mon." "On the boat hangs the lantern of Thieu Palace."20The wind in Bac Thuy Mon is even colder than in the citadel. The morning mist on the Ho Thanh River has not yet cleared, dozens of cargo boats are crowded together at the dam entrance, the shadows of their masts tangled together to form one area. When we ran in, the sound of killing could be heard outside the water gate. The gate guards fell seven or eight people.
