Chapter 245 Granary

Several people carefully investigated the discrepancies between the drawings and reality, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wall. Su Chengnan knocked on it with the back of his hand, and Sun Liangyuan also slapped it hard.

"But here?" Gangzi asked.

"Shh, listen to the difference." Sun Liangyuan put his index finger on his lips and whispered.

Gangzi quickly shut his mouth, held up the torch and moved closer, putting his ear close to the wall to listen.

Su Chengnan closed his eyes and concentrated on distinguishing the sound for a while, "It should be here, Gangzi, go inside and see what this room is used for."

"good!"

"Come, Chunyu, I'll give you the torch."

"Take it yourself, hurry up!" Su Chengnan urged.

Gangzi didn't say anything more and immediately turned around and climbed over the wall.

After half an incense stick of time...

Gangzi came back from the main gate.

"Miss, Mr. Sun, you guessed it right! I found a secret room in this house. It is indeed a granary."

"Let's go and take a look!" Sun Liangyuan was anxious.

Su Chengnan stopped him and said, "Sir, wait a minute!"

Sun Liangyuan looked over, very puzzled.

She added, "Gangzi, have someone go and invite the garrison commander and the people in charge of the granary and archives."

"Yes! I will go now."

Gangzi jumped onto the roof and soon these people arrived.

"Miss Su, what are you doing?" The bearded guard Zhong Yinghan frowned.

"Didn't you say before that you didn't know where the granary was? We found it."

"What?!"

"Han Liping is such a cunning rabbit, he has three burrows!" Zhong Yinghan is a reckless man. He has always been at odds with Han Liping, but he has no other choice. He has to listen to Han Liping in many things. Su Chengnan can take charge of things smoothly because of this man's secret help.

On the other hand, the clerks and legal advisors standing by had wandering eyes and were sweating profusely.

Su Chengnan noticed early on that something was wrong with the others, but he ignored her and said, "Come on, let's go and take a look together."

"yes!"

Zhong Yinghan snatched the torch from Gangzi's hand and went in first.

The room was pitch black. After lighting the candlesticks, I realized that it was a warehouse used to store sundries. There were no valuables and no documents.

Only Han Liping could think of storing food in such a place.

Su Chengnan glanced at those people and saw that their knees had become weak.

"I'll go ahead, you guys be careful."

"good."

The group entered the secret room. The light of the torches illuminated the entire room, which was filled with neatly stacked sacks, so full that they were countless!

"This is more than what the City Lord's Mansion has." Gangzi exclaimed.

"That's great! That's great!" Sun Liangyuan picked up a handful of rice grains from the ground, looked at them, then patted the grain bag with joy.

Su Chengnan curled his lips, turned around and looked at the trembling people, "What do you think?"

"Of course...it's great, great!"

"The people...are blessed!"

"Ha, ha, ha, yeah."

The three of them laughed awkwardly, each looking uglier than the other.

Zhong Yinghan took a quick step, grabbed one of them by the collar and said harshly, "Did you really not know about this beforehand?"

"What are you talking about?! How would we know?!"

"Hmph, if you don't have anything to hide, why are you so nervous?!" Zhong Yinghan pushed hard, then let go of his hand and spat at the man.

"You! You reckless man! We won't bother with you!"

"Okay, let's talk about it after we go out." Sun Liangyuan frowned and scolded, but then he turned around and said to Su Chengnan with a smile: "I will study the Ningguta drawings again later, maybe there will be other discoveries!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the person behind Su Chengnan knelt down with a thud.

Anyone who saw his guilty look would know that he had something to hide, and he was probably right about what Sun Liangyuan said unintentionally.

Su Chengnan's eyes gradually turned cold, "General Zhong, I'm leaving this man in your hands. Please give him a thorough trial!"

Zhong Yinghan sneered: "No problem! I'm very good at this kind of thing."

"Let's try them at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and let everyone see what they did before."

"good!"

Zhong Yinghan dragged the man out, and the other two men softened. "I'll tell you, don't hit me. I'll tell you everything."

"Oh?" Su Chengnan raised his eyebrows.

"There is a granary in the warehouse next to Coal Hill." After he said that, he sat down on the ground weakly.

"Okay! Okay!" Sun Liangyuan laughed and walked out of the secret room first. "Let's go and take a look first."

Su Chengnan followed him out and advised, "Sir, it's windy in Coal Hill at night. Let them take people to count. Your health is more important."

Gangzi agreed, "Yes, leave these matters to us, and we will come back to give you the details later."

"Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work."

…

Two hours later, the quantity of the two granaries was counted.

The capacity is actually five times that of the City Lord’s Mansion warehouse!

If all is added together and some food is saved, it will be enough for the entire Ningguta city to eat for three months.

Very good!

On the way home, even Chunyu and Gangzi were very happy.

The two walked along, humming a tune all the way.

"So happy?"

"If the young lady is happy, I will be happy. If Ningguta is doing well, the Su family will be doing well, and we will have more hope for the future!"

"Well said! You have a very high level of thinking!"

"Miss, what is the realm of thought?"

"It's a compliment to you!"

"oh."

…

Capital city.

Imperial Palace, Cining Hall.

"Mother, are you really going to do this?" the emperor said in disbelief.

"I do this for you, my child! If the world is gone, how can you be the emperor?"

"You can only fool a three-year-old child with these words. Your mother is only after the position of Empress Dowager!" The emperor waved his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for me, how could you sit on the dragon throne and enjoy the admiration of the people!"

The emperor smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Respect? Hahahahaha...that sounds really nice. Since I ascended the throne, how many of these things have really been good for the people? They are just for the benefit of your family and yourself!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother slammed the table!

"Emperor, how dare you speak to me like this! Do you really think I dare not depose you?"

The emperor sneered: "Why not just depose me? If you depose me, you can become the emperor yourself. Hahahaha, then I won't have to be a puppet anymore, and I won't have to bear the infamy of being useless and unable to defend my country!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress her emotions before saying, "Okay, Emperor, you just need to sign this contract, and when they attack from Ningguta, they will sweep across the north! We will then order General Zhan to lead his troops north and encircle them, and we will be able to annihilate the Beining Army completely!"

"As long as the Beining Army is defeated, the world will still be ours..."

"You are so stupid! If you let a wolf into your house, you will only die a more miserable death!"
