Chapter 4 Dumbfounded
"Is this the evidence you said?"
Yushi Fushu squinted his eyes, "Why do I only see air, and what about the grain you mentioned? Could it be that General Guo's eyesight is dim..." "
If that's the case. , that old man even doubted that he was not fifty, but twenty, and that General Guo was over fifty."
Guo Qiang's face was already ugly, but after hearing Yu Yushi's words, his face turned even darker. He turned around and glared at his subordinates fiercely.
The subordinate shrank his neck in embarrassment. He really didn't know where the food went. It was impossible for the rats to eat it all in one night!
"There are a few more warehouses, maybe hidden in other warehouses."
The men thought quickly and quickly found the steps. Maybe the Chen family discovered something was wrong and moved the grain to other warehouses.
"Let's go!"
Guo Qiang suppressed his anger and continued to open the next blind box, ah... warehouse.
The men came to the door of another warehouse, and the hand holding the door suddenly started to tremble.
If, if the relief food is not here, then...
Thinking of this, he first opened the door of the warehouse to reveal a gap, and looked at it with his own eyes.
However, before he could see clearly, Guo Qiang kicked him open and then opened the door with a bang.
The result is still empty.
The huge warehouse was empty, making people wonder if it was a warehouse because there was nothing there.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Several mice on the ground were startled by the sound of opening the door. They seemed to notice the confusion on the visitor's face, and the mice suddenly felt the same way.
They also want to know, where is the food?
Where did their dinner go?
"Next!"
Guo Qiang gritted his teeth and looked very ugly. He didn't believe that he couldn't find relief food.
The Chen Mansion is so big that it cannot be transported away, which means it is still hidden inside.
However, what greeted him was an empty warehouse.
"Next!"
"Next!"
"Why are they all empty? Don't the Chen family want to eat?"
Guo Qiang's face was very ugly, especially since he had vowed before that the relief food must be in the Chen family's warehouse, but now there is no rice left. I didn't find it, oh, no, I found a rice, but it was snatched away by a mouse.
In short, I didn't see any sign of relief food.
This is obviously not normal.
He personally arranged it, and his subordinates also personally sent it in. How could it disappear?
"Go, call a servant over!"
He waved to another subordinate to find a servant of the Chen family, intending to use coercion and inducement to get him to explain where the things in the warehouse were.
After a while, his men brought the people.
It turned out to be Chen Xue.
"I asked you to bring a servant!"
Guo Qiang glared at the subordinate fiercely. What do you mean by bringing the master to me?
How could she honestly tell where her things were hidden?
His subordinates were a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't want to. He originally planned to bring people here, but there was no way. Chen Xue talked about a little brother and made him indulge in... Ahem, in short, he brought people here in a daze. coming.
However, before Guo Qiang asked, Chen Xue spoke up.
"Are you looking for something in the warehouse?"
Guo Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Do you know where it is?"
Unexpectedly, there was actually someone who wanted to kill relatives out of righteousness.
Guo Qiang was very happy, and at the same time he felt sympathy for Chen Yuan. Why did he give birth to such a daughter?
However, he saw Chen Xue showing aggrieved expression.
"Our family is very poor. There is actually nothing in the warehouse because our family has no money to buy food!" "
..."
Guo Qiang was dumbfounded.
How come this is different from what I imagined!
Wait, your family is poor? Are
you kidding me?
A dignified third-grade official is so poor that he can't afford food. This is simply the funniest joke in the world.
However, Guo Qiang doesn't believe it, but it doesn't mean that others don't believe it.
When the censor heard this, he immediately showed sympathy, "I knew how someone as honest as Zhengyuan could be corrupt. I didn't expect that he was even more honest than I thought."
Zhengyuan, the name of Chen Xue's father, Chen Yuan.
When he thought that the warehouse at the home of a dignified third-rank official didn't even have food, the censor suddenly felt sympathetic and heartbroken.
No wonder, according to his son, Zhengyuan never goes out to live and drink, nor does he spend money lavishly. He even eats out and often packs it back. He is even teased by many people for being stingy. It seems that everyone has misunderstood.
It turns out that Zhengyuan is not stingy, but honest, and his family is in a tight situation.
However, the real reason is that Chen Yuan's money is in the hands of his wife, so he has no money to go out and spend the night.
As for packing the meals, it was because Chen Yuan thought the meals were delicious, so he packed them up and went back to eat with his wife.
When the censor misunderstood Chen Yuan, Guo Qiang's face turned ugly. This development was wrong. He had clearly framed Chen Yuan successfully, so why did he seem to have helped him clear his name.
Chen Xue didn't care so much. Seeing that the censor believed it, he continued to say aggrievedly, "Sir, our family looks rich, but in fact it is very poor..." "If you
don't believe me, you can take a look. We don't have many valuable things in our house." Even the lake in the yard has dried up and I don't have money to hire someone to deal with it..."
After hearing this, the censor suddenly realized when he thought of the mud in the lake he saw just now. No wonder he saw a deep pit. It turned out that he had no money to deal with it.
Thinking of this, the censor felt even more sorry for Chen Yuan, and even more disbelieving in his heart that he would be corrupt, and became even more determined to help him prove his innocence.
"Haha!"
Guo Qiang sneered, "They must have been hidden by you."
"Let's go and look in other rooms."
He didn't believe it. He searched the entire Chen Mansion and couldn't find any relief food.
As for Chen Xue's cry of poverty, haha, when he came to Chen Mansion not long ago, there were several antique vases worth thousands of taels displayed in the hall. Not long ago, Chen Xue even spent thousands of taels in one go to buy jewelry.
He heard this from his cousin. She also liked that set of jewelry, but it was a bit expensive. Who knew that Chen Xue also liked that set of jewelry and bought it at a high price without even negotiating the price, which made his cousin very angry. .
Therefore, Chen Xue's crying about poverty is simply fart.
Only a fool would believe it.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the censor. The censor didn't know why, and he stroked his beard and said, "Look at what I did, General Guo is the executor of the house confiscation."
Guo Qiang withdrew his gaze, came to the Chen family treasure house, and saw the above Padlock, the opponent said to his subordinates, "Break it open!"
Although there is no relief food for the time being, as long as a lot of gold, silver and jewelry are found, the hypocritical fact that the Chen family is poor can be exposed in front of the censor.
In this way, when the censor was angry and knew that he had been deceived, he might give up trying to reverse the case for the Chen family, and might even write a memorial to Chen Yuan at the meeting.
Snapped!
With a sound, the lock fell to the ground. Guo Qiang kicked the door open and rushed into the treasure house.
"Where are the things?"
Guo Qiang was dumbfounded again!
He could understand that there wasn't much money in the warehouse, but something was wrong if there was no silver in the Chen family's warehouse.
Although the Chen family only has a few decades of heritage, it is impossible that there is not a penny in the family's treasury.
