Wu Yue nodded, and at this time, Sandezi ran over from a distance.

Seeing this, Wu Yue slowly stood up straight, while Sandezi hurriedly put his mouth to Wu Yue's ear and said in a low voice, "Childe, Nihaqi's mansion has been found, and the granary has also been found." But the amount of grain in the granary is very strange. ”

Wu Yue looked solemn and walked slowly towards Nihaqi's mansion, while Sandezi, Li Dong, Rong Xiang'er, and Niuniu hurriedly followed.

After leaving the old man for more than ten meters, Wu Yue said in a deep voice, "What's going on over there in the granary?" ”

Sandezi hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "The slave sneaked into the granary and found that there was still a lot of rice inside. One of the warehouses, judging by its condition, should have just been allocated by the imperial court. The other three warehouses were full of moldy rice. ”

Wu Yue listened to the words and nodded slightly.

"I'll know about this matter when I see Nihaqi." Wu Yue responded softly.

Seeing that Wu Yue answered so lightly, Sandezi suddenly had a trace of doubt on his face.

Li Dong, who was beside him, hurriedly raised his hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to continue.

Seeing this, Sandezi hurriedly and obediently chose to shut up and not speak.

About ten minutes later, Wu Yue and his party came to the gate of Nihaqi's mansion.

Wu Yue looked up. I couldn't believe my eyes!

What appeared in front of Wu Yue was a gatehouse that looked very delicate. It's not big, and it even looks a little shabby. Although it is all made of solid wood, the wood looks like it is some years old, and the moths are full of small holes. And it is not colored.

On both sides of the gatehouse, there are couplets pasted and small seals are written!

"Go up to the sky, do things that are loyal to the monarch and patriotism, go down to the people, and be a pawn to protect the people!" Wu Yue muttered in a low voice.

Rong Xiang'er stepped forward slowly, staring at the couplet with straight eyes, and couldn't help but whisper, "Childe, the courtier who can write such a couplet can't find out where to go, right?" ”

Wu Yue turned his face slightly and looked at Rong Xiang'er.

"Xiang'er, remember, looking at people, especially officials, must be attentive! Eyes and ears can deceive people, but your own heart will not deceive you! Wu Yue said in a deep voice and glanced at Sandezi.

Sandezi hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Is anyone home?" Sandezi said loudly towards the courtyard.

"Who?" As soon as Sandezi's words fell, a middle-aged woman, dressed in a light red robe, walked out with a wooden basin in her arms.

"We're looking for Lady Nun." Sandezi saw the woman through the crack in the door, so she said gently.

"Lord Ni is in the government, you can go to the government to find him if you have something." The woman whispered, turned around and turned back into the house.

When Wu Yue heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the gate and said, "Madam, we are from out of town, and we have some grain in our hands, and I heard that Lord Ni wants to buy food, so I came here and wanted to talk to him." ”

As soon as the woman heard Wu Yue's words, she hurriedly put the wooden basin in her hand on the windowsill, trotted to the gate, and opened the door.

The woman's clothes, though light red, were a little white. However, it is still complete, and no patches have appeared.

"Is the grain in your hand new rice?" The woman directly skipped Sandezi and looked straight at Wu Yue with her eyes.

Wu Yue nodded.

"Hani, go get your daddy back!" Seeing Wu Yue nodding, the woman hurriedly turned around and shouted into the house.

"Got it!" A moment later, a child's childish response was heard from inside the house, and a little boy ran out.

The little boy ran to Wu Yue's side, and after bowing slightly towards him, he rushed out of the gate directly and headed in the direction of the mansion.

"Childe, please come in!" After the little boy went out, the woman made a "please" gesture towards Wu Yue.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded, and strode into the courtyard.

This is a small courtyard, about 100 square meters, and the construction is quite neat. On the east side of the courtyard, two houses were built. On both sides of the door, there are two pots of emerald green bonsai, and above the door, there is a plaque.

"Study and fast!" Wu Yue read out in a low voice.

The woman stepped forward with a gentle smile and said, "This is Nehaqi's study, and he is here on errands when he comes back from the government office on weekdays." ”

"Childe, come, please come here." The woman said softly, raising her hand to the stone table in the center of the courtyard in a "please" gesture.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded, heading in the direction of the stone table. But instead he took a detour and headed for the tub in the window.

When the woman saw this, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she strode to the wooden basin, and raised her hand to cover it.

But Wu Yue still saw what was inside before she blocked it.

It's some moldy rice!

Wu Yue asked suspiciously, "Madam, are you going to feed these moldy rice to chickens and ducks?" ”

Madame blushed and shook her head slightly.

"Nope. This—" The woman looked embarrassed.

After a moment, the woman shook her head, "This rice is for cooking. ”

Wu Yue frowned when he heard this, "You eat these on weekdays?" ”

The woman nodded, "This rice can be eaten, as long as it is washed a few times and then dried for a few days." ”

Wu Yue's face instantly became ugly, and he turned around sharply to look at Sandezi.

"This is the official of the Qing Dynasty! Haha......" Wu Yue looked up to the sky and laughed.

Sandezi, Li Dong, and Rong Xianger, who followed Wu Yue, could deeply feel the grief and indignation in Wu Yue's heart! But Niuniu and Nihaqi's wife couldn't understand Wu Yue at all.

The woman's face was full of consternation, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Wu Yue, but Niuniu hid her body behind Rong Xiang'er and peeked at him.

"Childe." Rong Xiang'er hurriedly stepped forward and raised her hand to pull Wu Yue.

After a few minutes, Wu Yue woke up from his anger and turned to look at the woman.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." Wu Yue squeezed out a smile with all his might.

The woman hurriedly bowed down and said, "Childe, you sit down and rest first, and I'll go make you tea." Nisama should be back soon. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wu Yue to reply, and returned to the house with the wooden basin.

Wu Yue turned around and came to the stone table and sat on the stool.

After sitting down, Wu Yue's mood finally calmed down.

At this time, Sandezi strode in front of Wu Yue, leaned down, and whispered to Wu Yue, "Childe, the servant inquired that Nihaqi's mansion was rented by him to Lord Wei Dongting. ”

"Wei Dongting? Is he involved in this? Wu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly and asked.

Santoku nodded, "Hmm." However, it was not Lord Wei who directly participated, but the Chamber of Commerce he set up, which was run by Jiqing Commercial Bank! ”

"What about the rent?" Wu Yue pondered for a few minutes, then asked.
