Chapter 5

"Look, look for me. There must be a secret room here, and things must be hidden in the secret room."

Guo Qiang started rummaging in the warehouse with a pale face. He wanted to find out the mechanism, thinking that Yinliang was hidden in the secret room.

Several men hurriedly groped around, trying to find the mechanism.

"Knock on the wall. If it's empty, it means there is a secret room."

"It makes sense." Guo Qiang's eyes lit up and he turned around and praised, "You did a good job. When you find the secret room, I will reward you..."

Before finishing the following words, Guo Qiang was dumbfounded, because the person who spoke just now was Chen Xue.

She actually helped her find the secret room of her family's treasure house!

Was she hallucinating, or was she going crazy?

He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that this method was okay, so he simply ignored it and turned to look for the secret room.

"I, I found it!"

Suddenly, Guo Qiang's confidant exclaimed, it was the man who had previously arranged for the disaster relief grain to be stored in the Chen family's warehouse.

"where?"

When Guo Qiang heard this, he ran over happily. Beside him, Chen Xue's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that in the memory of the original owner, there was absolutely no secret room in the treasure house. How could they find it.

Could it be that it actually exists and the original owner doesn’t know about it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xue's face looked a little unhappy and she quickly ran over.

I saw the henchman's palm spread out, and there was a white rice-sized... pearl on it. Apparently, it fell to the ground, but Chen Xue didn't notice it.

Seeing this, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had found the secret room, but it turned out that it was just such a small pearl that she was too lazy to pick up.

"roll!"

Guo Qiang's face suddenly turned black. If it weren't for the imperial censor, he would have wanted to chop his confidant in half with a knife.

Just kidding yourself, right?
The confidant was kicked and felt aggrieved, "General, didn't you say that there is nothing in the treasure house? Now I have found it..."

"roll!"

Guo Qiangqiang was so angry that he didn't take things seriously and still made excuses.

However, since my men have found a pearl, even though it is a small one, it also means that there was something there once, but it was just moved away.

Thinking of this, he sneered, "Continue searching!"

Next to her, Chen Xue said aggrievedly again, "I've already told you that our family is very poor, so poor that we can't even open the pot."

Guo Qiang ignored her, but the censor believed it. He sighed and regretted, "Hey, if I had known that Zhengyuan was so honest, I shouldn't have doubted him, even if I risked my life, I would have stopped your majesty."

"Master Yushi, it's not too late now." Chen Xueyi said, "As long as Master Yushi continues to investigate the truth..."

"Cough cough!"

Guo Qiang coughed, interrupted their conversation, and then said to his subordinates, "Take her away and send her to the front yard."

Chen Xue was the first to speak, "Wait, I can take you to other warehouses in our house."

"Ha ha!"

Guo Qiang was about to sneer, even without you, I would know where your warehouse is, but thinking that maybe the warehouses he knew were only superficial, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

"why?"

He was a little curious, why did Chen Xue do this? Logically speaking, shouldn't he try his best to stop them?
"It's almost noon."

Guo Qiang was confused when he heard these inexplicable words, killing relatives out of justice, what is the difference between this and noon.

Chen Xue continued, "When you guys go to the warehouse, who knows how long it will take. It's almost noon. If you finish the search earlier, I can have lunch earlier."

lunch?
The corner of Guo Qiang's mouth twitched, you still want to have lunch, whether you want a decapitated meal or not, whether you can survive until tomorrow is not sure, you still want to eat.

Hopeless!
He shook his head, feeling a little sympathetic to Chen Yuan, the only daughter in the family has mental problems, tsk tsk tsk.

Sure enough, with Chen Xue leading the way, their efficiency would be much higher.

However, the opened warehouse was still empty, which made Guo Qiang wonder whether Chen Xue deliberately took them to the empty warehouse on purpose.

"and many more!"

Guo Qiang suddenly stopped and pointed to the rooms on both sides, "What are these rooms for?"

"My parents' room, and other empty rooms." Chen Xue replied honestly.

"Go, go in and see!"

Guo Qiang sneered. He didn't want to go to the treasure house. It might be empty again, or it might be hidden in their room.

Even if you can't find gold, silver and jewelry, other valuables will do. After all, it's not easy to search your home once and find nothing. This is simply a fantasy.

It's impossible. Even the room they live in is empty. That would be too far away...

Guo Qiang stared at the room with his eyes wide open. Looking at the room with only a table, a few stools and a bed, he had some doubts about life.

Is this the room?
Is this a room for people to live in?

Where's the quilt?
Where are the pillows?
Who sleeps without a pillow!
Whose family only sleeps on the bed board? Even an ordinary family can't be so outrageous!

"Zhengyuan, what's really going on is..."

Yu Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, he was shocked, moved, sympathized, and heartbroken several times.

Although I was still shocked when I saw this scene now, I quickly accepted it.

"No wonder when the court asked for donations for disaster relief a few days ago, Zhengyuan also came up with 1 taels. It turned out that he had raised the money by selling off his property. This is simply..."

Seeing that Chen Yuan would rather sleep on the bed than raise money for disaster relief, the censor was so moved that he wished he could rush to the palace now and let His Majesty retry the case.

Hearing that the censor actually explained it to him, Chen Xue touched his nose. This reason was really reasonable.

Reasonable shit!

Guo Qiang cursed in his heart at this time, the Chen family is mentally ill, who is so stingy that they sleep on the bed board at home.

This is definitely not Chen Yuan's room.

He kicked open the door of the room next to him without giving up, and found that the room next to him was cleaner than this one.

There wasn't even a bed board inside, and the empty room looked like it had just been built and no one had moved in yet.

"Go and kick the door open for me!"

Guo Qiang became angry and asked his men to kick open the doors of all the rooms. Standing in the yard, he could see the situation in all the rooms at a glance.

It turned out that they were all empty.

He was a little skeptical.

Is this the Chen family?

Did he go to the wrong door and search the wrong house?

In fact, this is not the home of a third-grade official, but the home of a beggar. No, at least there is a quilt in a beggar's home.

He returned to the front yard angrily, and saw that his subordinates had gathered together, and he was immediately out of breath.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly, after copying everything?"

"It's over."

Guo Qiang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and said with some joy, "Where are the things?"

"No."

Everyone shook their heads, "The Chen family doesn't have anything valuable."

"Correct."

Someone echoed, "Even if it's a chicken coop, there's only chicken feathers on the floor, not even a chicken leg."

"Yeah, yeah, I've raided homes so many times, and this is the first time I've found someone so poor."

"It's not just poor, it's like a new house, as if the Chen family just moved in."

After hearing what everyone said, Guo Qiang summed it up and came up with four words - nothing.

By the way, it’s not like I gained nothing.

There is also a fragment of a vase in the hall, as well as a pearl the size of a grain of rice found by a henchman.

Thinking of this, he felt anger welling up in his chest, and then spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Pfft~"
