MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 4 I was dumbfounded

 “Is this the evidence you said?”

The censor stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, "Why do I only see air? What about the food you mentioned? Could it be that General Guo's eyesight is dim..."

"If that's the case, then I have some doubts that I am not fifty years old, but twenty years old. On the contrary, General Guo is more than fifty years old."

 Guo Qiang's face was already ugly, but after hearing Yu Yushi's words, his face turned even darker, and 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. There was no way it could be eaten by rats in one night!

“There are still several warehouses, maybe hidden in other warehouses.”

The subordinates thought quickly and quickly found the steps. Maybe the Chen family discovered something was wrong and moved the grain to other warehouses.

"Walk!"

Guo Qiang suppressed his anger and continued to open the next blind box, ah... warehouse.

The subordinate 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, exposing 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.

 “Zhizhizhi!”

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 they suddenly felt the same feeling.

 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 did not believe that he could not 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 is it all empty? Don’t the Chen family want to eat?”

 Guo Qiang's face was very ugly, especially since he had promised that the relief food must be in the Chen family warehouse, but now he couldn't find a single piece of rice. Oh, no, he found a piece of rice, but it was snatched away by a mouse.

 In short, I didn’t see any trace 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 his hand 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 had gone.

 After a while, his men brought the people.

 It turned out to be Chen Xue.

 “I asked you to take care of the servants!”

Guo Qiang glared at the subordinate fiercely, what do you mean by bringing the master to me?

How could she honestly tell her 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. .

However, before Guo Qiang asked, Chen Xue spoke up.

 “Are you looking for something from the warehouse?”

Hearing this, Guo Qiang’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Do you know where it is?”

 Unexpectedly, there are actually people who are willing to kill their 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? Tsk tsk tsk.

However, he saw Chen Xue showing an aggrieved expression.

“Our family is very poor, and there is actually nothing in the warehouse because our family has no money to buy food!”

　　　…”

Guo Qiang was dumbfounded.

How is this different from what I imagined!

 Wait a minute, your family is poor?

 Are you kidding me?

 A dignified official of the third rank is actually so poor that he cannot afford to buy food. This is simply the funniest joke in the world.

However, Guo Qiang does not believe it, but it does not mean that others do not believe it.

Hearing this, the censor immediately showed sympathy, "I knew how such an honest person like Zhengyuan could be corrupt. I didn't expect that he is even more honest than I thought."

Zhengyuan is the name of Chen Xue’s father, Chen Yuan.

 When he thought that the warehouse at the home of a dignified third-rank official did not even have food, the censor suddenly felt sympathetic and heartbroken.

No wonder my son said that 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 short of money.

 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 imperial 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 about that. Seeing that the censor believed it, he continued to say aggrievedly, "Sir, our family seems to be 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 home. Even the lake in the yard has dried up and we don’t have money to hire someone to take care of it..."

When the censor heard this, he suddenly thought about the mud in the lake he had just seen. 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.

"hehe!"

Guo Qiang sneered, "It must have been hidden by you."

 “Let’s go and look at other houses.”

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's house 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. .

 So, 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, so he stroked his beard and said, "Look at what I do, General Guo is the one who executes the confiscation of the house."

Guo Qiang looked away, came to the Chen family treasure house, saw the padlock on it, and said to his subordinates, "Break it open!"

Although relief food cannot be found 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 is angry and knows that he has been deceived, he may give up trying to reverse the case for the Chen family, and he may even make a memorial to Chen Yuan in court.

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 there was something wrong if there was no silver in the Chen family's warehouse.

Although the Chen family has only a few decades of experience, it is impossible for the family's treasury to be empty of a penny.
