Chapter 3 Nothing

Girl, what are you...

Watching Chen Xue moving the vases and ornaments in the hall, Mrs. Chens mother-in-law looked puzzled.

My house is all being ransacked, how can these things come to their advantage?

Chen Xue said while taking the opportunity to put the vase into the space.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, a ruthless look flashed across her face, "That's right, we can't take advantage of them."

After saying that, she grabbed a vase next to her and threw it to the ground. With a loud bang, hundreds or even thousands of taels of vases shattered on the ground.

Chen Xue was dumbfounded immediately, and then her body ached.

My dear mother, I said you cannot take advantage of the enemy, and I cannot let you destroy it.

Then, when he saw that her mother wanted to smash other vases, she immediately ran over to stop her.

Mom, dont get excited!

"What's wrong?"

I mean, I can hide this stuff so it doesnt come to other peoples expense.

Hide?

"it's useless."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "You don't know those people. They dig up and down the ground every time they ransack a house. They can find it wherever it is hidden. It's better to smash it to avoid taking advantage of them."

"Don't"

Chen Xue snatched the vase over with a look of pain on her face, "I have a way."

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she no longer stopped her. Moreover, she also heard reports from her servants that the Chen residence was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and she had no choice but to run out.

Chen Xue took the opportunity to take away the vase and even the teapot and teacups on the table. Of course, the tables and chairs were not left alone.

If the floors weren't difficult to dig, she would have wanted to dig them all out. These floors were all made of high-quality wood.

After doing all this, she saw a man wearing black armor and a sword on his waist rushing in with a group of officers and soldiers.

That man is Guo Qiang.

As soon as he entered, he waved to his men, "Go and drive everyone out and gather them together."

Soon, everyone was rushed to the front yard of the hall and surrounded by officers and soldiers. When Guo Qiang saw this, he nodded with satisfaction, then took out the imperial edict, read out the notice of confiscating the Chen family's home and exiled it, and couldn't wait to let his men collect it. .

Guo Qiang asked his men to keep an eye on Chen Xue and others, and he took the lead in entering the hall.

However, when he entered the Chen Mansion's living room, he felt something was wrong. He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He walked around the hall and finally realized what he was doing.

When he ransacked his house before, when he got tired of searching, he would sit in the living room for a while and then continue searching. Now...

Wheres the chair?

Where is the table?

The huge living room was empty, with nothing.

If he hadn't been here before and confirmed that this was the living room of Chen's house, he would have suspected that he had searched the wrong house.

Search, search carefully, they must have hidden something.

Guo Qiang smacked the table, feeling a little angry, but the shot missed and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Lets go and have a look at the warehouse!

He bribed the Chen family's servants and secretly transported a lot of relief grains into the warehouse. As long as the relief grains were discovered, Chen Yuan would be dead.

At that time, there will be plenty of time to search slowly.

Sir, the Censor is here.

"What?"

When Guo Qiang heard the report from his subordinates, his expression suddenly changed. The censor was not someone he could offend.

Although the status of the censor is not as good as that of his uncle, his status is higher than his, and he dare not offend him openly.

After all, the imperial censor has the right to supervise all officials. When the time comes, he will report to the emperor and it will be over.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran out the door and saw an old man in official uniform comforting Chen Xue and others.

Dont worry, I know Zhengyuans character and it is impossible for him to be corrupt. I will definitely find out the truth.

Hearing the old man's assurance, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. At least her father still had people supporting him. No wonder he was not beheaded, but just exiled. It turned out that there was a group of people who protected him.

Its just that I can only aggrieve you at the moment.

The censor also knew that exile was the best outcome, but he still felt a little guilty. After all, Chen Xue was only seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as his granddaughter. She should have been enjoying herself in the boudoir, but now she was going to be exiled...

"Why are you here, Master Yushi?" Guo Qiang quickly ran over to interrupt him, "I was confiscating my house under the order, Master Yushi..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was clear. I have the emperor's order, and the censor has no right to stop it.

The imperial censor heard what he meant, clasped his fists in the air and raised his hands, "I have reported to the Holy One, and the Holy One has agreed that I will supervise General Guo's raid on his home, and find out whether Chen Yuan's house really has food for disaster relief..."

"In this case, the Royal Censor can be a witness."

Guo Qiang sneered in his heart. He came at the right time. If he had just found out that the relief food was in the Chen Mansion, he would still be targeted.

But there is a fair and strict censor, and when he sees the relief food in the warehouse with his own eyes, the evidence of Chen Yuan's corruption case will be conclusive.

Master Yushi, please come this way!

With such a mood, Guo Qiang walked towards the warehouse with a smile on his face. He had already obtained the map of Chen Mansion and knew which warehouse the disaster relief grain was stored in.

"Um?"

"here it is?"

A group of people passed by the Huxin Pavilion and were stunned.

Because there is no water at all in the lake, leaving only a layer of silt and some weeds, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Guo Qiang frowned and remembered that there should be a small lake here. There were many precious fish in the lake. Why is there nothing now?

Not only was he puzzled, but the Censor was also puzzled.

The people who couldn't figure it out continued to move forward and soon arrived at the warehouse. Guo Qiang couldn't hide the smile on his face.

You two, go open the warehouse and let the Censor see how much grain Chen Yuan has embezzled.

Guo Qiang casually clicked on two hands to open the door, and then waited for the surprise to appear.

However, there is no surprise, but there is fright.

After the warehouse was opened, there was nothing inside, let alone food, even rat droppings. Oh, by the way, there was a lot of rat droppings.

Wrong.

What about food?

What about the thousands of bags of grain?

How big is a bag of grain?

where it goes?

Guo Qiangs mind was full of questions, and he even looked around the door carefully, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.

Then, he looked at a subordinate next to him. The subordinate nodded, indicating that he was definitely here.

At the same time, he was also confused.

I remember that he clearly hid the grain in this warehouse. After all, for peace of mind, he personally took people to hide it. He carried the bags of grain on his back.

He obviously piled them all together, worked overtime for several nights, and even stepped on rat droppings... Ahem, in short, he was 100% sure that the relief food was in this warehouse.

Instead, what now?

Nothing at all!

Did you see a ghost?

He remembered that there was relief food here last night, and he had not seen a carriage leave from the Chen Mansion today, so it was obviously impossible to send it away.

The subordinate looked confused and even wondered whether his old eyes were dizzy due to working overtime and staying up late these past few days.

When he wiped his eyes and found that there was still nothing inside, his face became very ugly.

Things are messed up!

Although he didn't know how the food disappeared, he knew very well that Guo Qiang would not let him go.
