Chapter 398: Chapter 398: What exactly is the attitude of the Retired Emperor?

If he cannot dig up the whole Anping Village, he could at least dig up Qiao Xiaomai’s house, right?

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

Damn it, was he targeting her house now?

Even if he dug up her entire house, considering the current situation, so what?

Not a single trace of the treasure could be found!

Yang Ye also looked exasperated, “Third Brother, do you want Miss Qiao to sleep in the wilderness tonight?”

“I’m doing this for the treasure, right? Such a huge bounty disappeared into thin air, it’s too strange.”

“Well, it’s just like how the woman who brought the treasure here in the first place was a mystery, so it is normal that how the treasure disappeared is a mystery.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wang glanced at TongTiehu, “Human actions cause events.”

Under harsh interrogation, I do not believe the Tong Family will not speak.

Noticing Yang Wang’s malicious look, Tong Tiehu’s expression didn’t change, “If the Prince believes the treasure can grow legs and run away, why not dig up the ground around Anping Village? Dig a deep trench around Anping Village, so even if the treasure can grow legs, it cannot escape from the Prince’s palm.”

Yang Wang pondered upon hearing this suggestion, and slammed his hand on the table, “Good idea!”

As he spoke, he stood up, “Fourth Brother, I’ll deal with this matter first.”

As long as the treasure couldn’t escape, it would be his merit when Grandpa Emperor arrived.

Just do it this way!

Yang Ye looked at Yang Wang’s hurriedly departing figure, turned to Tong Tiehu and said somewhat speechlessly, “Village Chief Tong, were you serious about that suggestion?”

“Of course, I am serious. I am more anxious than both of you princes about the missing treasure.”

Yang Ye chuckled, didn’t say a word, shut his fan, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating again.

The College Head observed this scene, stroked his beard, and laughed, “Village Chief Tong, are you worried?”

“Of course, I am worried. After all, my father had once fought against Grandpa Emperor for the world.” And he even inherited his father’s ambition to rebel.

I wonder how much Grandpa Emperor knows…

This is so exhausting.

“College Head Gu, could you kindly let us know about Grandpa Emperor’s attitude towards the Tong Family?” Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but ask.

Honestly, even when praying to the heavens at night, she never imagined such a scenario.

The scenario she most often imagined was Tong Liu being suddenly taken ill and retiring to his hometown.

She never thought about such a dramatic turn of events as today.

However, this dramatic situation gave her hope.

Attacking the Tong Family would be like attacking the Emperor himself. With such a statement, Grandpa Emperor’s attitude towards the Tong Family should…

be largely friendly, right?

Upon hearing this, College Head Gu laughed, “I really don’t know about this. Given my age, I have no clear knowledge about what happened back then.”

He only started following Grandpa Emperor afterwards. Grandpa Emperor only vaguely mentioned the events that happened during his departure from the capital.

In such a vague context given by Grandpa Emperor, how could he make things up?

Even if it is speculation, it should be kept to himself.

“However, His Majesty once instructed me that the dishes you came up with are very useful and specifically asked me to take care of you,” added College Head Gu.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai blinked her eyes.

Did College Head Gu mean that she should take advantage of the meal at that time?

Moreover, even if she could take advantage of the meal situation, it didn’t seem to relate to the Tong Family’s matter…

She subconsciously turned to look at Yang Ye, who received her puzzling glance. He immediately said, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know either. But whatever you can do, just do it. Making Grandpa Emperor happy is always a good thing.”
