Chapter 180 Great Gift
Su Hanchu became interested as soon as he heard it and spoke quickly.
"What gift?"
Jun Moye flicked her nose.
"You'll understand when you get there."
Then he pulled her to sit down.
"Come, eat some more."
After the two of them had eaten, Jun Moye had already asked Tao Zhiwen to bring the horse. He jumped on the horse directly and reached out to pull Su Hanchu onto the horse.
The two of them rode towards the outskirts of the county government office.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.
When they could vaguely see a farm, Jun Moye stopped the horse in the woods nearby, tied it up, and then pulled Su Hanchu step by step towards the farm.
There was peace in the village.
Su Hanchu was about to speak, but Jun Moye made a gesture to silence him in time.
He took her in one direction with ease.
Soon we stopped at a most dilapidated thatched hut.
After looking around and making sure that no one noticed, he pulled Su Hanchu into the house. A faint light came on, and he groped for a switch on the wall and turned it on.
Soon a door appeared in the wall.
Jun Moye pulled Su Hanchu in step by step, then walked down the stairs one step at a time, and then the door closed.
Jun Moye spoke in a low voice.
"Okay Chuchu, you can take out your night pearl now."
Su Hanchu glanced at him and took out a night pearl from the space.
The basement suddenly lit up, and there were more than a dozen boxes in the basement. Jun Moye went forward and opened one, and it was full of silver.
Su Hanchu was surprised.
"Wow, so much silver, no wonder people say that Qingzhou Prefecture can earn 100,000 silver coins in three years."
Jun Moye opened the remaining dozen or so boxes.
"This County Magistrate Hua has saved more than this much silver over the years, but it's hidden very obscurely. The ones in his house have been marked in the evidence and account books I handed over to the Chenzhou government, so we can't touch the ones in his house, but we can take the ones here."
Su Hanchu looked at the white silver with a smile on his face.
“It’s truly a great gift.”
Jun Moye looked at her with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, Madam? Why don't you put these into your precious space?"
After hearing this, Su Hanchu reached out to take the boxes and put all the boxes full of silver into the space.
And at this time in the Shen Mansion.
The housekeeper bowed towards the Chenzhou Mansion.
"Master, I have found some of it."
Chenzhoufu said.
"explain."
The butler spoke.
"Master, the Jun family's arrival in the northwest has been smooth sailing, and they've gotten along well with the villagers. The most important thing is that the Yan family wanted to purchase Guanping Village. Because the villagers disagreed, the Jun family and the Yan family clashed, and the Yan family suffered a lot.
Later, it seems the Yan family poisoned the villagers' rice fields. Although it was the head of Guanping Village who beat the drum to complain, the entire incident was actually orchestrated by the Jun family. The end result was that Yan Shaofeng, the leader of the Yan family, was imprisoned, and the Yan family was ordered to compensate the entire village for the losses at ten times the price of rice.
After hearing this, Chenzhou Prefecture asked.
"Have you found out if the Jun family and the Hua family have any conflicts?"
The butler shook his head after hearing this.
"No, but Yue Manting seemed to have been framed before. It seems that County Magistrate Hua accepted bribes and sided with the murderer. And with the Yan family's purchase of land, County Magistrate Hua is not an innocent person either."
Shenzhoufu nodded after hearing this.
"It seems that this young master Jun has really been ordered by the emperor to rectify the official style in the northwest. I would like to remind him to be more careful in his work in the future and think more about the people."
The butler thought for a moment and spoke with hesitation.
"Master, didn't the imperial city send down an official document stating that the late emperor had passed away? This young master Jun is using the late emperor's name..."
Chenzhoufu spoke upon hearing this.
"But considering the time, the late emperor was still alive when Young Master Jun came to the northwest. He has the late emperor's jade pendant in his hand. I'm afraid the late emperor really did have a mission for him. Otherwise, when have you ever seen this exiled man with anything valuable in his hand? Even if he really did have something valuable hidden, it couldn't be a dragon pendant."
Zhongli spoke with some worry.
"But sir, every emperor has his own ministers..."
After hearing this, Chenzhoufu took a sip of tea, fell silent, and sighed after a long time.
"Zhongli, you have followed me since you were a child. How many years have I been in this provincial capital?"
Zhongli seemed to recall something.
"Master, you were among the top three on the list ten years ago, and then you were sent to the northwest to serve as a county magistrate. Later, when the state capital encountered trouble, you took over the position of governor. Master, you have been in charge of this governor for almost ten years."
Chenzhoufu's face was heavy when he heard this.
"It's been twelve years. When I first came to the northwest, I was a high-spirited young man. Now, twelve years have passed, and I have become an old man. Zhongli, I have been away from the Imperial City for many years and have no support there. I am afraid it will be difficult to find an opportunity to return to the Imperial City in this lifetime."
After hearing this, Zhongli looked up at Chenzhou Prefecture.
"Master, are you planning to use this Young Master Jun's influence to return to the Imperial City?"
Chenzhoufu held the teacup and spoke after a moment of silence.
"Right now, I can't find anyone better. Let's investigate further. It would be best if we could find out if he has met any other important people."
The King's Mansion.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye were having dinner. Because he received such a big gift, Su Hanchu ate half a bowl of rice more than usual today.
Jun Moye couldn't help but joke.
"It seems that Madam really loves money. After receiving the money today, she ate a little more."
Su Hanchu picked up the food with chopsticks and spoke with a smile.
"Who doesn't love money? Especially since it belongs to the Hua family."
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
"Sir, Madam, I have something to ask you."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice.
"Come in."
Tao Zhiwen came in and bowed.
"Master, Madam, someone has been asking about our Jun family these past few days."
Jun Moye nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Got it, back off."
Tao Zhiwen bowed and retreated silently.
Su Hanchu looked at Jun Moye.
"Do you know who it is?"
Jun Moye calmly picked up some food for her.
"It's nothing more than the Shenzhou Prefecture who is suspicious of my identity, or it's General Pei. Eat in peace, I will handle it."
After having dinner with Su Hanchu, Jun Moye went to the study while she was washing up.
Qinggu also came to the study.
"Young Master."
Jun Moye gave orders in a deep voice.
"Tao Zhiwen has noticed that someone has been asking about the Jun family these past two days. Please check back. If the person investigating the Jun family is from Chenzhou Prefecture, tell them that I came to the northwest on a secret mission. Also, tell them that I have been to General Pei's Mansion. If anyone else investigates, please report back to me."
