Chapter 4 The Emperor's Gift
"It seems that after Yu Huatian pierced my shoulder with a broken sword and killed that master, the system determined that the broken sword shot out of me, so the system task was completed......"
"Then, the system detected an anomaly, but the rewards that had been distributed could not be recovered, so Rausch self-destruct ...... was activated."
Zhao Yu looked at the system backpack and martial arts that appeared out of thin air, and carefully recalled the cause and effect.
"Although it's a yin damage move in the next three ways, fortunately, it's better than nothing!"
As soon as his mind moved, Zhao Yu instantly understood that skill.
This is good for the system production, no matter what martial arts, you don't have to bother Baal to learn.
……
Opening the door, Zhao Yu walked straight into his warehouse.
On one of the offering tables in the innermost part of the warehouse was a box the length of an adult's arm, half a foot wide.
This is the guy Zhao Yu eats, named Treasure Box. What is placed in it are all auxiliary tools handed down by Zhao Yuzu for copying the family.
After taking the treasure box, Zhao Yu went to the West Investigation Factory first.
With the driver's post, Zhao Yu first summoned the people of the inspection headquarters, and then received twenty soldiers from the inspection department, and then went towards Guo An's mansion.
……
East of the city, carp alley.
Outside a small mansion that was originally inconspicuous, it was surrounded by soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division at the moment.
At this time, Zhao Yu led a group of servants to the outside of Guo An's mansion.
Looking at the slightly shabby mansion, Wang Liu, the head of the squad next to Zhao Yu, couldn't help but say: "Guo An is also a household servant, and this mansion is also shabby, right?" ”
The household service is only five products, and it is really not on the stage in Kyoto.
However, everyone in the official face knows that Guo An's household servant is different from other five-grade officials.
He, a household servant, is in charge of half of the salt tax accounts in Jiangnan, and is also responsible for distributing salt to salt merchants.
But if Guo An moves his crooked mind, isn't the silver rolling in?
Zhao Yu smiled calmly and said: "Heh, Liuzi, you remember, the more people with in their crotch, the tighter they cover!" ”
Liuzi nodded, then stepped forward quickly and handed the driver to the soldier guarding the door.
After reading the driver's post, the soldier first ordered his subordinates to lift the seal on the gate of the mansion.
Then he trotted to Zhao Yu's face, and said with a flattering face: "Everyone, do you want to do the errand directly, or let my subordinates go to 'sweep away' first?" ”
Zhao Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, he who had fused the memories of the original owner, naturally knew what this obscurity was.
But all the criminals who are sentenced to be executed will be followed by the family.
Under normal circumstances, after the house of the convict is raided, the young and beautiful female dependents will be sent to the Sect Division, while the others will be sent to the land of smoke and miasma.
But some of those who offended the powerful would be ordered to be delayed in raiding, and the family would be imprisoned in their homes.
Without food or drink, after many days of captivity, the whole family would starve to death.
And the so-called sweeping obscurity is to dispose of these starving corpses first.
Zhao Yu recuperated for two months, and Guo An's family was trapped in the mansion for two whole months!!
……
After the soldiers disposed of the shriveled and blackened corpse, Zhao Yu led his men into the house.
This house is not big, there are two side rooms on the left and right, a kitchen and firewood room, and the main hall is divided into two rooms inside and outside, which can be seen at a glance.
After entering the mansion, the servants of the Inspection Division all dispersed and went to search the wing room and the main hall, while Zhao Yu stood in the courtyard, staring at a shadow wall not far away.
On the shadow wall of the ordinary eunuch's house, there are some elegant things such as plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums.
And on the shadow wall of the small mansion of Guo An's house, there are three big characters engraved with three dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
Loyalty, filial piety, honesty.
If you want to say that this Guo An, his family background is actually not bad at all.
His grandfather was the personal deputy general of the founding king of Wuping, and he was extremely loyal and brave.
As for his father Guo Shuliang, who was in the position of the two Huai salt envoys, this position was a fat difference that even the cabinet bigwigs were worried about.
However, after the death of his father, Guo Shuliang did not hesitate to resign and go home for three years, giving up the world's first-class fat difference.
Then to Guo An, the name of honesty spread all over Beijing, so the first emperor felt that the three generations of the Guo family were loyal and good, and specially gave the words 'loyalty, filial piety, and honesty'.
"My lord, the main hall of the wing room has been searched, and only these ...... have been found."
An hour later, Wang Liu walked out of the chamber dejectedly, holding a camphor wooden box in his hand.
And in the box, there was nothing but a few coins and broken silver.
"My father has been a salt envoy for four years, and he is in charge of the salt tax in Jiangnan, but his family only has these few dollars and broken silver...... Who believes? ”
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and then untied the long box on his back.
Once opened, take out an object from inside.
Each of these things has a trumpet-like thing at each end, the difference is that one horn is as big as a sea bowl, while the other is about the size of a wine cup.
Walking into the main hall, Zhao Yu put the big one on the wall, and then attached his ears to the small one.
"Knock!"
When Zhao Yu's words fell, the six sons on the side took out a small hammer and gently tapped it on the wall.
Zhao Yu, who squinted his eyes slightly, listened carefully to the sound coming from the small speaker.
Most corrupt officials like to hide the silver in the dark compartment of the wall, and the movement can be heard from the sound of tapping.
After about a few breaths, Zhao Yu moved the object in his hand to the other side of the wall, and said again: "Knock!" ”
……
Two hours later, Zhao Yu walked out of the wing room with a frown.
Zhao Yu can be sure that Yuhuatian was worried about Guo An's so-called demon book, so he framed Guo An for being corrupt.
But the poverty shown by Guo An's family is somewhat excessive.
Even if this guy is incorruptible, he won't be able to save that little bit of silver from his family for three generations as officials, right?
Looking around at this slightly shabby courtyard, Zhao Yu finally set his eyes on the shadow wall given by the emperor again!
Zhao Yu walked quickly to the shadow wall, carefully observed the shadow wall in front of him, and after a while, he finally found a clue.
Judging from the blue bricks of the shadow wall, this shadow wall has been around for some years, but where Zhao Yu's fingers brushed, he saw that the glutinous paste used to pour in the gap was very new.
Coming sideways to one end of the shadow wall, Zhao Yu opened his palm and measured the width of the shadow wall.
Sure enough, this shadow wall, which seems to have no problems, is more than a finger wider than that of ordinary portals.
"This should be the ......"
Zhao Yu stared at the shadow wall in front of him and said to himself.
"My lord, do you mean that the criminal's dirty silver is hidden in this shadow wall?"
Wang Liu, who was on the side, looked at the shadow wall in front of him and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows the weight of this thing!
This is a gift from the emperor!
To put it mildly, even the current emperor probably wouldn't dare to easily tear down this small shadow wall, right?
Wang Liu understands the truth, and of course Zhao Yu understands it.
"Liuzi, you hold my waist card and stay here, no one is allowed to approach the shadow wall until I come back!"
Zhao Yu took off a waist tag from his waist and threw it to Wang Liu, turned around and went out to get on the horse, and galloped towards the West Factory.
