Chapter 361: Something Wrong
The Qingxi eunuch family is the largest family in Qingxi County, and their family has produced several generations of court officials, although they have not been any big officials, but they are all five or six officials.
What's more, among their family, there are still people in the palace who are on errands, and they are also eunuchs with rank, and the eunuch family can be said to be the most powerful and wealthy family in Qingxi.
The contemporary head of the eunuch family is over the age of six, and he has just accepted a twenty-eight-year-old concubine recently, so he is naturally in a very good mood.
Early in the morning, under the service of the concubine, the head of the eunuch family washed and dressed and had breakfast, basking in the sun, drinking tea, humming a small tune, the concubine was beside him, not to mention how moist life was.
From time to time, the head of the eunuch family reached out and pinched the concubine's face, and opened his mouth to enjoy the concubine feeding him.
"Master, no! Oh no, the head of the house. At this time, a voice came out of place, and a figure suddenly broke into the sight of the head of the eunuch family.
"Soul light thing! I live a good life, what is wrong! How dare you curse me, see that I don't pick your skin. The head of the eunuch family immediately changed his face, jumped up, kicked the man to the ground, and roared angrily.
The good mood was disturbed by this soul bleakness, and it made him angry.
Don't look at the fact that the head of the eunuch family is already sixty years old, but his body is still healthy, and his flexibility is not reduced back then.
"Come on, drag this soul who dares to curse me, drag it down and feed it to the dog." The head of the eunuch family was full of disgust, and asked people to drag him down and beat him to death.
Those who dare to disturb his beautiful mood, block him, and dare to curse him are innocent.
The person who was kicked to the ground endured the pain in his stomach, stretched out his hand and hurriedly said: "Family master, I am Eunde, I have important news to report, and it is a matter of life and death for the Eun family." ”
"Wait!" The head of the eunuch family stretched out his hand to stop the servant who stepped forward.
It is a matter of life and death for the eunuch family, and he can't help but care.
"Say! What is it? If you dare to deceive me, I will make your life worse than death! The head of the eunuch family gritted his teeth and said, his fierce gaze exuding a murderous aura.
Eunuch was terrified, and he knew that whether he could save his life depended on whether the truth he said was strong enough.
"The head of the house! All the grain we have hidden in the West Mountain is gone! All the guards were killed! Not a single living mouth remained. ”
"That's right! All the female helpers who went to deliver the food are gone! Eun De said that in this matter, he did not dare to hide a trace and told it all.
"W-What?" The head of the eunuch family was half dead of anger on the spot, almost fainted, and trembled all over.
"The head of the house is angry, angry." The servant hurriedly stepped forward to help the head of the eunuch family sit down, and reached out to stroke his back to help him calm down.
"Butler, you go and inform the Ming Mansion that they have come to the mansion, something is wrong!" The head of the eunuch family hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to invite someone.
He can't handle the current situation alone, and he must come to everyone to discuss, otherwise, his loss will be great.
"I'll go to the head of the house." The housekeeper said that, hurriedly took a few people out of the house, and went separately to inform the county order and others.
Within half an hour, the county magistrate and several other wealthy merchants rushed to the eunuch's house, and not only did the eunuch's grain hide in the cave, but also part of their grain was hidden in the cave.
They are not as big as the eunuchs, some food is their lifeline, if they can't find it, they have to ask for half their lives.
While everyone was anxiously waiting, the head of the eunuch family, supported by the housekeeper, walked in tremblingly.
Everyone immediately got up, and without waiting for the head of the eunuch family to walk down, the head of the Ma family couldn't wait to speak: "Eunuch, what is going on?" How did the good food be robbed! ”
"Don't worry, wait for the eunuch to sit down, the food is gone, it's useless to be anxious, and no matter how urgent the food is, it won't grow wings and fly back." Qingxi County Cheng said.
The top priority is to find out who actually stole the food and how to get it back, rather than holding accountable.
"Your food was robbed, the old man and I are also heartbroken, almost turned my back on the anger, if the old man really didn't come to the air, it was not to come to you to discuss major matters, but to give me condolences!" After the head of the eunuch family sat down, he took a breath and said.
"Eunuch, what time is it now, what are you still kidding here? Tell me what's going on. The head of the Ma family said urgently.
"Then I'll tell you about the situation of the next person's report." The head of the eunuch family told everyone everything that his subordinates reported to him, word for word.
"That's how it happened, tell me what the hell is going on."
Everyone frowned, bowed their heads and pondered, but the head of the Ma family was restless, he was an anxious person, and he just wanted to recover the lost food as soon as possible.
"Do you have any ideas, if you have any ideas, you should say it as soon as possible, we can go and get the food back, if you can't find it this day, I won't be able to live in peace for a day." The Ma family is the main road.
"Eunuch, what about your subordinate? I'd like to ask him if you can call him. The county said, signaling the head of the Ma family to be calm and not to be impatient.
"That's no problem, you go and bring people!" The head of the eunuch family said to the housekeeper beside him.
"No!" The steward answered, and immediately went and fetched the man who was called Eunde.
"I've seen the head of the house!" When he came to the hall, he first saluted the head of the eunuch family, and then bowed to the others.
"The county has something to ask you, you have to answer truthfully, there is a lie, see if I don't break your dog's legs, understand?" The eunuch family is the main road.
"Understood! Rest assured! I must know everything, and I have to say everything. Eunuch said.
"I'll ask you a few questions, and you're going to answer me truthfully." County Cheng Road.
"Just ask." Eun De Dao.
The county asked Huan De a few questions, and he answered them one by one without reservation.
"I see! You can step down! The county said that he already knew the ins and outs, and had a general understanding of the food being robbed for a while, and he still needed to take another step to solve this mystery.
Eunuch glanced at his master, who waved him to stand down, and he bowed and withdrew.
"How? But now that I know the whereabouts of the grain, I will go back and gather my men and horses, and I will surely kill all these thieves. The head of the Ma family said that he was about to get up and call someone, but was stopped by the person next to him.
"What are you pulling me for, don't get in the way of my revenge." The head of the Ma family glared at the humanity who pulled him.
"Why are you in a hurry? Do you know who took the food? Where is it hidden? The man dissatisfied.
"Didn't the county say he knew? As soon as he pointed it out, I immediately took it and grabbed the food. The head of the Ma family said.
He heard the county Cheng say with his own ears that he knew, but this was said by someone else, can there be any fakes.
The county rolled his eyes after hearing this, he meant that he already had a further understanding of the matter, and he needed further proof to know what the specific situation was.
How did he know who did it, isn't this cheating on him!
I was really shot while lying down.
