Chapter 3: Nothingness

"Girl, you are ......"

Watching Chen Xue remove the vase ornaments in the hall, Mrs. Chen's grandmother was full of doubts.

"It's going to be raided, how can these things be cheap for them."

Chen Xue said as she took the opportunity to put the vase into the space.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on her face, "That's right, you can't cheap them." ”

After speaking, she grabbed a vase next to her and threw it on the ground, only to hear a snap, hundreds of taels of vases shattered to the ground.

Chen Xue was dumbfounded for a moment, and then her flesh hurt.

I said that I can't cheap the enemy, and I can't let you smash it.

Then, seeing that her mother wanted to smash other vases, a spirit suddenly ran over to stop her.

"Mother, don't get excited!"

"What's wrong?"

"I mean, I can hide these things so I don't cheapen other people."

"Hide?"

"It's useless."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "You don't know those people, they all dig three feet into the ground to raid their homes, and they can find them wherever they hide, so it is better to smash them, so as not to cheapen them." ”

"Don't ......"

Chen Xue snatched the vase with a painful face, "I have a way." ”

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she didn't stop it, and at this time, she also heard a report from her subordinates, saying that Chen's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and she could only run out.

Chen Xue took the opportunity to take away the vase, even the teapot and teacup on the table, of course, the table and chairs were not spared.

If it weren't for the fact that the floors were not easy to dig, she would have been eager to dig them all, and these floors were all made of fine wood.

After doing all this, she saw a man in black armor and a large knife straddling his waist with a group of officers and soldiers rushing in.

That man was Guo Qiang.

As soon as he entered, he waved to his subordinates, "Go and get everybody out and gather them together." ”

Soon, everyone was driven into the front yard of the hall and surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Guo Qiang saw this, nodded with satisfaction, and then took out the holy decree, read the notice of the Chen family's exile according to the book, and couldn't wait for his subordinates to scrape.

Guo Qiang asked his subordinates to stare at Chen Xue and the others, and he took the lead in entering the hall.

It's just that when he entered the living room of Chen's Mansion, he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that something was weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

He walked around the hall before it dawned on him.

When he searched the house before, he would sit in the living room for a while when he was tired of searching, and then continue to search, and now he ......

What about chairs?

What about the table?

The huge living room was empty and there was nothing.

If he hadn't been here before, confirming that this was the living room of the Chen Mansion, he would have suspected that he had copied the wrong house.

"Search, search me carefully, they must have hidden something."

Guo Qiang slapped the table, a little angry, but he slapped it empty, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Let's go, let's go to the warehouse!"

He bought off the people of Chen's mansion and smuggled a lot of disaster relief grain into the warehouse, as long as he found the disaster relief grain, then Chen Yuan would die.

When the time comes, there is time to slowly scavenge.

"My lord, Mishi-sama is here."

"What?"

When Guo Qiang heard the report of his subordinates, his face suddenly changed greatly, Yushi was not something he could offend.

Although Yushi's status is not as good as his uncle's, his status is higher than him, and he doesn't dare to offend him openly.

After all, the imperial historian has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and when the time comes, he will make a small report to the emperor, and it will be over.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran out of the door and saw an old man in official uniform comforting Chen Xue and the others.

"Don't worry, the old man knows that Zhengyuan is a person, it is impossible to be corrupt, and the old man will definitely find out the truth."

Hearing the old man's assurance, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief, at least her father still had someone to support him, no wonder he was not beheaded, but was just exiled, it turned out that there was a group of people to protect him.

"It's just that I can only wronged you at the moment."

Yushi also knew that exile was already the best ending, but he still felt a little guilty, after all, Chen Xue was only seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as his granddaughter, and he should have been in the boudoir to enjoy himself, but now he was going to be exiled......

"Why is Mishi-sama here?" Guo Qiang hurriedly ran over to interrupt him, "I'm raiding my house by order, Lord Yushi......"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, I had the emperor's order, and the imperial historian had no right to stop it.

Yushi heard what he meant, and clenched his fists in the sky, "This official has told the saint, and the saint has agreed that the official will supervise General Guo's raid on the house, and find out whether Chen Yuan's house is really hiding disaster relief food......"

"In that case, then Lord Goshi can be a witness."

Guo Qiang sneered in his heart, he came just in time, if he just found out that the relief food was in Chen's Mansion, he would still be targeted.

But there is a fair and strict imperial history, and when he sees the disaster relief grain in the warehouse with his own eyes, the evidence of Chen Yuan's corruption case will be conclusive.

"Mishi-sama, this way, please!"

With such a mood, Guo Qiang had a smile on his face and walked towards the warehouse, he had already obtained the map of the Chen Mansion and knew which warehouse the relief grain was stored in.

"Huh?"

"Here?"

A group of people passed by the Huxin Pavilion and were stunned.

Because there is no water in the lake at all, only a layer of silt and some weeds remains, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Guo Qiang frowned, remembering that there should be a small lake here, and there are many precious fish in the lake, why is there nothing now?

Not only was he puzzled, but so was Lord Goshi.

The people who couldn't figure it out continued to move forward, and soon came to the warehouse, and Guo Qiang couldn't hide the smile on his face at all.

"You two, go and open the warehouse, and let Lord Yushi see how much grain Chen Yuan has embezzled."

Guo Qiang casually ordered two of his men to open the door, and then waited for the surprise to appear.

However, there are no surprises, but there are shocks.

When the warehouse was opened, there was nothing inside, not to mention food, even rat droppings, oh yes, there were a lot of rat droppings.

Wrong.

What about grain?

And what about thousands of bags of grain?

What about a big bag of grain?

Where did it go?

Guo Qiang's mind was full of questions, and he even looked carefully around the gate, thinking that he had made a mistake.

Then, he looked at one of his subordinates next to him, who nodded his head to indicate that he was definitely here.

At the same time, he was also confused.

I remember that he obviously hid the grain in this warehouse, after all, for the sake of peace of mind, he personally led people to hide it, and the bags of grain were all carried into by him.

Obviously, he was piled up together, worked overtime for a few nights for this, and even stepped on mouse droppings...... Ahem, all in all, he was 100% sure that the relief grain was in this warehouse.

Rather, what about now?

Nothing!

Hell not?

He still remembered that there was relief food in it last night, and he didn't see a carriage leave the Chen Mansion for a day today, so it was obviously impossible to send it away.

The subordinates looked confused, and even wondered if it was because they had worked too late and stayed up late in the past few days that caused their old eyes to be dizzy.

When he wiped his eyes and found that there was still nothing inside, his face became very ugly.

Things are messed up!

Although he didn't know how this grain disappeared, he knew very well that Guo Qiang would not let him go.
