Chapter 25 Found it!
That night, the Xu family was not at peace.
Although the government officials had arrived, no one dared to guarantee whether the looted gifts and tributes were in Beishanaozi.
"Boss, aren't we being too hasty? What if the thing is found?"
Old Mrs. Xu thought about this problem after Old Man Xu entered the city, but unfortunately he had already left and she couldn't catch up with him.
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Zuo is a good official. Even if the thing isn't in Beishan Aozi, it's not far away. It'll just take a little longer, so don't worry!"
Mr. Xu comforted Mrs. Xu wholeheartedly, looking confident.
But in fact, Mr. Xu was also worried in his heart.
In this kind of situation, anything could happen before the dust settles. Even if Zuo Qiu is a good official, once the news reaches the capital, who knows what the rules will be?
You really can't think too much about this kind of thing.
…
Night passes and dawn comes.
It was still Guan Laoqi who organized people to prepare meals and send them to Beishan.
After everyone had finished their meal, a carpet search of Beishan Aozi began.
Half an hour later, cheers rang out.
A large number of boxes were discovered. According to the marks on the boxes, they were indeed tribute gifts for the new emperor's enthronement that were robbed twenty years ago.
After noon, officials from the provincial capital arrived with a list of tributes from that year and counted all the gifts.
It was not until dark that the inventory was completed and everything was found to be correct.
When Zuo Qiu told Mr. Xu the news, Mr. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and could finally put his mind at ease.
As for the rewards from the government, they are no longer that important at this time.
After seeing off Zuoqiu and others, the Xu family was all smiling.
"Dad, what reward can the government give us?"
Xu Laoer was the most excited.
Old Master Xu didn't say anything, but Boss Xu slapped his brother directly.
"I'll give you two slaps, do you want one?"
"Mom, you saw it, my eldest brother beat me again. My brain is not very smart, he beat me since I was a child."
After being slapped by Xu Lao Da, Xu Lao Er immediately complained to Xu Lao Madam.
Old Madam Xu glanced at her second son and said, "Don't blame your eldest brother for your own stupidity. If your eldest brother hadn't slapped you twice, your muddled head would have been turned into a lump of stone long ago!"
Critical hit!
A heartbreaking blow from my own mother!
Xu Laoer looked embarrassed and hid aside, drawing circles.
"Go back and rest early. Let's leave it at that. Don't mention it again!"
Old Mrs. Xu was really scared at this moment.
Luckily I found it!
"Dad, Mom, you two should rest early, we will go back first."
Boss Xu spoke immediately, then took Zhou and his son back to their room.
The same is true for Xu Laoer.
But Xu Laosan's wife, Wang, stayed.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on?"
The eldest and second oldest Xu both knew what was going on and would talk to their wives about it, but Wang was the only one who knew nothing.
"Nothing serious. My second brother and I just happened to find the tribute that was robbed from the capital city twenty years ago."
"ah!"
Hearing what Mr. Xu said, Wang's face changed drastically.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"If we report this to the government, will those people from the previous dynasty let us off?"
"Dad, you, you..."
Wang didn’t know what to say. She was completely panicked and at a loss.
