The housekeeper knew that it was useless to say more, so he gave in and made a gesture of invitation, asking Zhao Ru to go and check it out on her own.
Zhao Ru didn't believe it. The county magistrate had embezzled a lot of things over the years and accepted bribes. Even if the thieves were interested in it, it would be impossible for all the things to disappear overnight.
But when we got to the warehouse, there was nothing but two people whose necks had been cut. The same thing happened when we went to the granary.
The people who checked around came back and reported that the situation was the same. Except for the rooms where there were people yesterday, all the items in the other empty rooms disappeared, including the beds and chairs.
Zhao Ru sat down in the main seat with a headache, thought for a long time, dismissed everyone, and came to the county governor's main courtyard.
Standing in front of the easel, he swapped the positions of a few books and paintings. Then a secret passage appeared. He took the candlestick and went down.
The couple had been together for so many years, and although the county magistrate was also on guard against Zhao Rushi, he was still careless. An accident allowed Zhao Rushi to discover this secret passage.
After Zhao Ru left, a small bee buzzed away from the county governor's mansion and flew out of the city.
After Mu Jin outside the city took the little bee back, he left the crowd and entered the space under the pretext of turning on the projection function of the little bee.
This little bee is a micro recorder, a high-tech product.
I finished looting the County Magistrate's Mansion yesterday. Time was tight and I didn't have time to check it carefully. But I don't believe that the County Magistrate's inventory after so many years is only that small, so I kept this little bee thing.
Now that I know where the secret room is, I'll go there again when I get a chance.
The refugees outside the city had begun to stir. The news of the county governor's death had spread. The refugees rushed forward. Mu Bai led several villagers to shout vigorously outside.
Arousing the resentment in the hearts of the refugees one by one
As the two sides were entangled, a luxurious carriage arrived outside the city gate.
"Master, the road ahead is blocked by refugees."
The guard respectfully asked outside the carriage
"Holding the badge to open the city gate and let the refugees in, closing the city gate for no reason is shameless."
The one who spoke was the Sixth Prince from the capital.
In order to win the emperor's praise, the prince notified Qingping County and the bandits to intercept the military pay and food. He originally wanted to keep some of the money and then present it to the emperor.
But it was obvious that this matter was a failure. Not only did he not receive any credit, but he also caused dissatisfaction from the emperor.
The emperor knew everything the prince had done. He wanted to use the prince to trip up Longsheng, but he did succeed but ended up in trouble.
The emperor was conflicted. He wanted Longsheng to disappear and completely eradicate this hidden danger, but he did not dare to kill Longsheng directly for fear of being criticized.
On the one hand, we have to rely on Longsheng to guard the border. After all, the title of War King is not in vain.
Therefore, he acquiesced to the prince's actions. Although the food and grass were robbed, he also suffered a loss of 800
The atmosphere in the court has been very low recently because of this incident. No one dares to speak out.
The Sixth Prince was never one to accept his fate. He believed that he had a chance to ascend to that high position. When he saw the Crown Prince being humiliated, he knew what the Emperor was worried about.
He voluntarily donated the grain from his own private warehouse to the army, and also persuaded some of his own ministers to donate voluntarily.
When the court saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, they all stood up and expressed their willingness to do their bit.
Someone solved the problem without having to pay from the treasury. The emperor was very satisfied with the result and praised the sixth prince in front of all the ministers and appointed him as the escort.
The Sixth Prince and his party were overjoyed
But all this is just the emperor's balancing act. The emperor is in his prime and has no intention of abdicating.
