General Hua's loud shout immediately startled City Lord Hu.

However, when he heard General Hua say that "there is a shortage of two catties", City Lord Hu was slightly relieved, and arched his hand and said: "General Hua will temporarily calm his anger and supply the dragon tooth rice to His Royal Highness the County Lord, even if the lower official is bold, he will not dare to be less!"

As he spoke, City Lord Hu cautiously checked the densely patterned cross lock on the sterling silver barn again to make sure that there was not the slightest damage.

Only then did he say with peace of mind: "Moreover, the dragon tooth rice stored in this sterling silver barn has an error of less than 10,000 catties, and sometimes it may be caused by negligence, and it is a few hundred catties less...... At the time of the official delivery, Benjue will naturally make up for it. ”

In fact, Hu Cheng's main expression is one sentence, there is no formal transaction yet, even if there is really some missing dragon tooth rice, it is not enough to be suspected of "short catty and missing two".

And General Hua seemed to be waiting for City Lord Hu's words, she snorted coldly, and then said: "City Lord Hu can make up for it, this sterling silver barn weighs only four thousand catties even with the barn, and the barn weighs at least one thousand catties, and I also ask City Lord Hu to make up the remaining seven thousand catties of dragon tooth rice......"

"General Hua, please rest assured, Benjue will definitely make up for it...... What are you talking about? In this barn, there are only 3,000 catties of dragon's tooth rice? Impossible! No way...... Obviously, there are 10,000 catties inside, even if there are some water losses and errors, how many hundreds of catties are at most......"

At this moment, City Lord Hu was really frightened by General Hua's words.

That's 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice!

The two-year harvest of the entire Jinling City Dragon Tooth Land, not to mention anything else, just this 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice, saving a little is enough to train a hundred martial artists.

However, now there are only 3,000 catties left, what happened?

Could it be that the dragon tooth rice inside was really stolen by Tang Can?

Impossible! The dense cross lock is intact, Tang Can definitely does not have this ability.

Besides, if he really has this ability, how can he give you the remaining 3,000 catties of dragon tooth rice?

That...... Could it be that when the dragon tooth rice was shipped, there were internal ghosts who did their tricks?

It's unlikely! He personally supervised the shipment and storage, and the key never left his body after that.

Moreover, this key is also used several times, and the key of each dense crosslock can only be used ten times, and each time it is used, there will be one more trace on it.

City Lord Hu took out his key again and checked it, there were indeed only two traces on it, and this key had only been used twice in total, confirming that it had not been stolen halfway.

However, there is another possibility......

That is what this general said on purpose, wanting to knock himself hard? deliberately said that the 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice were only 3,000 catties, and he wanted to make up another 7,000 catties.

If this is the case, it is still a good thing, and it will naturally be better to do things after receiving benefits, and the matter of wanting to take refuge in Prince Gong's Mansion is basically a certainty.

At this time, Hu Haiquan, who was standing next to Lord Hu City, had a very bad premonition in his heart, he patted his mouth, but he couldn't help but remind: "Uncle, or ...... Now hurry up and open the sterling silver barn to take a look, I'm afraid not all the dragon tooth rice in it is gone......"

"Haiquan, you ......"

Hearing this, City Lord Hu really had the urge to vomit blood, if he was really unfortunate enough to be said by Hu Haiquan, then the matter would be really big.

But if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if!

City Lord Hu hurriedly ordered someone to move the sterling silver barn to the side room, because after the dragon tooth rice matured, it would quickly dissolve the qi and blood power in it under direct sunlight.

Therefore, the long-term preservation of dragon tooth rice should also be protected from light.

And when Hu Haiquan and several other martial artists lifted the sterling silver barn, their faces also changed.

Light!

It's a little too light.

It is impossible to have 10,000 catties at all, there is no difference with what General Hua said just now, and it adds up to a total of 4,000 catties.

"What's going on? General Hua didn't lie to me, is there really something wrong with the dragon tooth rice?"

Seeing this, City Lord Hu chuckled even more in his heart.

He was not calm either, and immediately took out the key and opened the sterling silver barn.

Wow!

As soon as the sealed lid of the barn was opened, a musty smell of aged rice wafted out.

In this barn, there is indeed grain, but it is not the dragon tooth rice that the warriors have tried, but just some of the most ordinary rice.

Moreover, many of these paddies are moldy, giving off a musty smell that makes people cover their noses.

This time......

Everyone present, except for Tang Can, was completely stunned.

What about dragon tooth rice?

Didn't you say okay, this sterling silver barn is filled with 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice?

Now don't say it's 10,000 catties, it doesn't even seem to have a catty, it's all this kind of rotten grain that has been moldy for many years.

"What's going on?"

The prefect Chen Yonglian was completely stunned, and he couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Tang Can's transport brigade met on Jinque Street that night.

I still calculated and worried for him for a long time, it turned out that ...... This kid has long been a bad water in his stomach and has calculated the old fox to death.

This is a densely patterned cross lock forged by the secret method of the Immortal Family, and even the forger himself can't open it without a key, Tang Can can really take out all the 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice in it without realizing it?

The more Chen Yonglian thought about it, the more frightened he became, he had already overestimated Tang Can's degree of evil, but Tang Can raised this standard line again and again.

"I ...... My dragon's tooth rice, where is the dragon's tooth rice? Why are they all gone?"

Lord Hu Cheng's eyes were split, this 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice, but he used it to curry favor with the great gift of the Gongwang Mansion!

Right now...... It's all messed up!

"It's gone!"

At this time, Hu Haiquan's eyes widened even more, and he quickly covered his mouth.

He wondered what was wrong with his mouth, was it a crow's?

As for General Hua, he was even more simply, and stepped forward directly, and with a bang, he directly kicked the entire sterling silver barn over.

All the rotten grain inside was poured out, and not a single grain of dragon tooth rice was seen.

"Hmph, Lord Hu, these ...... How do you explain it?"

General Hana's anger was high because she felt as if she had been used as a gun.

Even if City Lord Hu said that this barn was installed incorrectly, and the real dragon tooth rice was immediately transported in the City Lord's Mansion, it would not be able to calm her anger.

At this time, the city lord Hu, who was even more confused, immediately understood after a little pondering, and he glared at Tang Can.

Go without saying......

Everything is definitely Tang Can's ghost.

He can really ...... The pave-grained cross lock is a breeze to open.

"City Lord Hu, why are you looking at me like this...... What does this have to do with me? As you have seen, this sterling silver barn is locked with a dense cross, and this son has never been able to open it since he moved to the mansion. It's just for safekeeping!"

Facing City Lord Hu's angry gaze, Tang Can shrugged his shoulders with an attitude of "it has nothing to do with me".

Moreover, Tang Can also said with a low face and arrogance: "What is this son talking about, the iron rooster of the city lord Hu can really pit people, and he really dares to pit His Royal Highness the county lord." It's a pity...... Ben Gongzi went a step late, but he didn't expect that the city lord Hu would transfer the dragon tooth rice one step first, and ...... also tried to blame this son. Insidious! Powerful! Lord Hu ...... With this move, you kill three birds with one stone, and your wisdom is unparalleled in the world!"

Burst!

Killing three birds with one stone?

Unparalleled in the world?

When City Lord Hu heard this, he really couldn't hold back this time, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Am I insidious?

Am I awesome?

Okay, you Tang Can child, you have already calculated to this point.

Who's the most powerful, who's the most insidious!

And the prefects Chen Yonglian and Chen Sizhou were also completely amazed, no wonder Tang Can has always been so fearless, it turns out that everything is ...... It's all in the chest.

"Terrible!"

Chen Yonglian couldn't help but whisper with emotion, "Ordinary people take one step at a time, and look at two steps at a time." In the posture of the Venerable Master, look at three steps before taking one step. However, Tang Can was able to see the situation after five or even ten steps first, and decide how to take this step now...... It's not terrible!"

"Uncle, fortunately, Tang Can is not our enemy and opponent. ”

Chen Sizhou also took a long breath of cool air, looking at Tang Can's handsome face with a hippie smile and harmless people and animals, his scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"I hope it won't be the enemy......"

Chen Yonglian could only shake his head and sigh with emotion.

And General Hua saw that the city lord Hu had not responded, so she knocked on the sterling silver barn with her saber again, making a dangdang sound.

"City Lord Hu, before His Royal Highness the County Lord arrives, I want to ...... You should give me a satisfactory answer. ”

After a moment of silence, City Lord Hu also sighed, condensed his gaze, and unconsciously showed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"General Hua, in this sterling silver barn, Benjue originally stored 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice. Although I don't know what method Tang Can used to break the dense pattern cross lock, he ...... This 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice could not be stolen by anyone else except him. ”

Pointing at Tang Can, City Lord Hu said very decisively, "Benjue wants to search the entire Tang Mansion, as long as 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice are found, it will prove that Benjue's guess just now is right." ”

Full Search!

This is the last resort of the city lord Hu, if he simply leads his troops to come, he will definitely encounter the obstruction of the Tang Mansion and the Chen Governor's Mansion.

But now, General Hua is here, as long as General Hua agrees, Tang Can must agree even if he is unwilling.

The conditions required for the storage of dragon tooth rice are very harsh, and sterling silver utensils are a must, and they must be protected from light and moisture.

Therefore, this 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice is hidden in the Tang Mansion, and as long as it is comprehensively searched, it is definitely not difficult to find.

"You're going to search the entire Tang Mansion......?

For this, General Hua glanced at Tang Can, and he was still a little afraid.

After all, under her brain, Tang Canshan was already a powerful immortal cultivator.

But who wants to be searched by such an unreasonable and arrogant residence?

Not to mention the strong, even if it is an ordinary ordinary person, if you want to search their residence comprehensively, no one is willing to cooperate.

Really......

When Tang Can heard this request, all the cells in his body resisted.

"No! I am dignified in the Tang Mansion, how can I allow you to go in and out of the search at will!"

"Besides, in my Tang Mansion, I don't know how many beautiful family members, some are even pregnant, each of them is the future son of our Tang Mansion, what if you are bumped into by your big-headed soldiers?"

"And ...... City Lord Hu, why did you frame me for stealing the dragon's tooth rice? I've already said it twice, and now I'm going to say it a third time. Ben Gongzi brought the sterling silver barn over with all good intentions...... Who would have thought that your Hu City Lord's movements would be so fast, and his heart would be so dark......"

"In a word, if you want to search the Tang Mansion, it is absolutely impossible!"

"In the laws and regulations of the Great Liang Kingdom, the family house is protected, and once it is purchased and built, it is a private residence. Without a proper search warrant signed by the lord of the castle and the prefect at the same time, it is forbidden to enter and search at will. ”

"If the city lord really wants to search, please go back and discuss with the prefect first, and see what kind of name to use to search my Tang Mansion. As long as the prefect agrees to sign the search warrant, then I will Tang Mansion ...... Welcome......"

......

Seeing that Tang Can reacted so much to the search of the Tang Mansion, and even carried Governor Chen's Mansion out, the City Lord Hu was not angry but happy.

That's right!

That's how a normal person reacts.

If you are so afraid of being searched, you must not be wrong, and the stolen dragon tooth rice is definitely hidden in the Tang Mansion.

City Lord Hu couldn't help but be glad that he had tried it so much, and he really got it right.

And the prefect Chen next to him also smiled, Tang Can, this kid, really remembers the laws of the Great Liang Kingdom more tightly than his own prefect.

"City Lord Hu, since Tang Can did not agree to search the Tang Mansion, and you did not get a legal search warrant, you have no right to conduct a search......"

General Hua frowned, the matter in front of him couldn't be clearer, no matter where this ten thousand catties of dragon tooth rice was now, it was already obvious that City Lord Hu wanted to use his own hand to deal with the Tang Mansion.

Hehe!

Is it really so easy to deceive General Ben?

Just now he was sick on the couch and pretending to be pitiful, but now he can command his subordinates to search the Tang Mansion so freely?

His Royal Highness the county lord said that it was really good, there are really a lot of old foxes in Jinling City.

Therefore, General Hua's decision is very simple, don't move the Tang family first, and wait for His Royal Highness the county lord to come down.

However......

Since the city lord Hu made a judgment in his heart, he decided to make a desperate bet, and he was injured by the snake if he did not die, and he took out the city lord seal that had been prepared long ago from his body.

"Benjue, the city lord of Jinling, is now using the privilege granted by the city lord Great Seal to forcibly search the Tang Mansion. ”

Knowing that Governor Chen's Mansion would never be on his side, City Lord Hu fortunately simply took out the City Lord's Great Seal.

"Nonsense, are you crazy, for this matter, you actually used the privilege of the Great Seal of the City Lord?"

Seeing the big seal of the city lord, Governor Chen, who had been smiling and watching the show, couldn't help but change color, knowing that this time the city lord Hu was real.

"City Lord Great Seal! Okay! City Lord Hu, since you insist on this, in Jinling City, the privilege of the City Lord Great Seal can indeed allow you to search the Tang Mansion, anyone...... Do not obstruct. ”

General Hua was also obviously a little surprised, she saw Tang Can's puzzled look, so she explained: "The Great Seal of the City Lord is a symbol of privilege given to each knight by the monarch when he is knighted. It symbolizes that in the fiefdom, in addition to the monarch, he is the most honorable knight. And each City Lord Great Seal can exercise its privileges ten times......"

This privilege can be conditional on the violation of certain laws, as well as amnesty for some condemned prisoners. But it can only be used within his own fiefdom, and the city lord Hu took out the privilege of the city lord's seal, so he naturally ...... It has the right to search any place in Jinling City. ”

When Tang Can heard this, he was speechless for a while: "Isn't this open? And just such a big seal, it can be opened ten times?"

However, Governor Chen's next words made him feel a little better.

"The privilege of the Great Seal of the City Lord, starting from the first generation of knights, has only been ten times in total. The knighthood claims to be hereditary forever for not committing major crimes, but once the privileges of the Great Seal are used up, the Great Seal and the title will be withdrawn together. ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Governor Chen stretched out a finger towards Tang Can and said, "After using this time, the Great Seal of Jinling City Lord, but there is only one last privilege left." You must know that the previous generations of Hu City Lords, but some people were not willing to use the privilege of the Great Seal to save their son even if he was sentenced to death. ”

"Hmm? Doesn't that mean that if you use it again, the title of the Hu family will be withdrawn by the monarch? In order to deal with this son, Hu Bald has really made a bloody investment this time!"

Tang Can couldn't help but pout, as if he was a little embarrassed by City Lord Hu.

"Tang Can, Ben Jue is going to use the City Lord Great Seal privilege to search your Tang Mansion now, what else do you have to say? Hmph! If Ben Jue finds the 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice, see what else you have to quibble. ”

After finishing speaking, City Lord Hu immediately asked Hu Haiquan to take the City Lord's Mansion with fifty martial artists and start a comprehensive search of the Tang Mansion up and down.

Dragon tooth rice needs to be stored in silver utensils, and it must be protected from light and moisture, or 10,000 catties, even if it is stored separately, these warriors are very sensitive to the breath of dragon tooth rice, and there is absolutely nothing to hide.

City Lord Hu believed that there would be results soon.

However......

The martial artist guards sent out came back one by one with a frowning face and a sad face, but they were empty-handed.

"City Lord, Tang Mansion Treasury...... Didn't find it. ”

"In the east and west wings, no dragon tooth rice was found. ”

"Thirteen basements, no trace of dragon tooth rice has been found!"

"There are no signs of new excavation on the ground in the Tang Mansion Garden, and it is impossible to hide it underground......"

......

One after another, the martial artists and guards came back to report, but they couldn't even find a single grain of dragon tooth rice.

City Lord Hu's face couldn't help but be gloomy again, could it be that he guessed wrong again?

It's impossible! 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice is definitely in the Tang Mansion, and the spies are staring at it in all directions these days! It is impossible for Tang Can to transport 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice out.

However, after looking everywhere, where would Tang Can hide?

Where did the 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice go?

City Lord Hu is really crazy, if he still has hair now, he will definitely be caught by himself.

And at this moment, a team of warriors suddenly came to report urgently.

"Lord Castle, have you searched all the other places? But there's one more place...... I...... We can't search it, right...... It's a big coffin standing out of thin air in the backyard of the Tang Mansion......"

......
