After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 131
I heard that Lord Zhizhou's wife Cui was the daughter of a military general. She had a rough and strong temperament and was not very smart. She was coaxed into getting married by Zhang Xiucai who came to visit her that year.

Zhang Zhizhou was promoted to his current position by his father-in-law.

They had stayed in the mansion for the past two days and found out all this information from some servants who were not strict with their words.

At this time, when several members of Ruan He's family arrived, the courtyard was already full of prisoners, and even the officials stood there obediently, letting Mrs. Cui stare at them.

The whole family also stood quietly behind the other prisoners.

Ms. Cui stared at Li Jiang angrily, and now she was speaking eloquently, almost saying that those gold and silver jewelry were stolen by their subordinates.

"Master Li! Our master went to the treasury early this morning and discovered that all the gold, silver and jewelry had been stolen. Such a large treasury was inexplicably emptied overnight. Do you think it was? The little thieves from outside committed the crime, not to mention that our master doesn’t believe it, I don’t believe it either! Moreover... you are the only guests who have come to the house in the past few days, and there is no one else. "

Since early in the morning, Ms. Cui learned from Zhang Zhizhou that the entire treasury in the mansion had been emptied. She was angry, surprised, and extremely noisy. She concluded that the contents of the treasury must have been emptied by this group of people. It was stolen by unknown escort officials and exiled prisoners.

The reason why she believed this was simple. Most of these escort officers came from the lower class. They had lax upbringing and were from civilian backgrounds. They had never seen many valuable things at all. Maybe they would simply move them away once they saw their treasury. .In particular, they also brought a large group of exiled prisoners with them, and they didn't know the details.

Zhang Zhizhou saw the empty treasury early in the morning, and his heart was bleeding, as if his heart was being cut. However, as a Zhizhou, and because of his face, he couldn't really make this matter a big deal and let others see it. joke.

Seeing his wife making a lot of noise, after all, most of the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury came from the Cui family, Zhang Zhizhou waved his hand and let his wife go to the officials to settle accounts.

Mrs. Cui led a large group of maids, maids, servants and servants, and came aggressively to confront Li Jiang.

The old lady on the side couldn't help but show a look of disgust, and followed the master's wishes and angrily scolded: "Our master kindly took you in, and promised to help you catch the fugitives. Unexpectedly, you have just entered the house two days ago. With such bad intentions, he emptied the treasury of our Zhizhou Prefecture!"

Being slandered like this, Li Jiang couldn't help but feel annoyed. He barely suppressed his anger on his face with bulging blue veins and said coldly: "Since Madam suspects that those gold and silver jewels were evacuated by us, so many gold and silver jewels There has to be a place to hide it. You can search as much as you like. If you find gold, silver and jewelry that shouldn't be there, then we can do whatever you want. We also hope that if Madam doesn't find it, she will give us a clean slate."

At this point, Ms. Cui also understood that it was impossible to transport so much gold, silver and jewelry from the heavily guarded Zhizhou Mansion overnight, so the treasures must still remain in the Zhizhou Mansion.

"Whether it was taken or not will be clear after the search."

The head of the guard next to Cui sneered coldly, looked at his master flatteringly, and asked: "Madam, where do you plan to start the search?"

"Then... let's start with the search in the yard of Mr. Li, who means the right thing to say. The yards of all of them must be searched."

Cui naturally looked down on the low-ranking escort officer in front of her. With a strange sound in her mouth, she called on the servants behind her to start taking action.

Following Cui's instructions, the housemaid started an extremely strict search, starting from Li Jiang's yard. They turned over almost the entire yard, but found nothing strange, not to mention so many gold, silver and jewelry. Not even a gold ingot was seen.Of course Cui didn't give up. She called her subordinates and searched all the officials' and prisoners' yards, but still found nothing.

The only twist and turn was that a bag of silver was found in Lao Jiu's room, but it was just scraps of silver for their daily expenses on official duties.

Before Lao Jiu could explain, the guard who was searching excitedly carried the bag of broken silver and rushed in front of Ms. Cui. He said flatteringly as if he was taking credit: "Madam, look at this... "

Mrs. Cui was sitting on a high chair drinking tea. She glanced up at the bundle, raised her slender eyes, and showed a look of disgust without hesitation.

"Take it back, we know how can there be such poor and shabby silver in the state capital!"

A grumpy young officer was standing next to Lao Jiu. Hearing this, he took a deep breath. The veins on his arms were bulging. He could hardly hold back his temper.

Why does Mrs. Zhizhou speak so unpleasantly! ?
He also knew that Mrs. Zhizhou was not something he could afford to offend. He, a small escort official, had offended Zhizhou. He was afraid that he would no longer want the official position, so he could only secretly clench his fists and hold back his temper.

Lao Jiu didn't take it seriously. He pretended not to listen to Cui's harsh words. He stepped forward, picked up the baggage containing the broken silver, and explained: "Madam, this is what our escort officer is using." The money for expenses is kept by me on weekdays, and it is certified by the seal of the bank number."

Mrs. Cui was not very interested in the seal of the silver number. She only nodded perfunctorily and waved to him to take away the bag of broken silver.

This temporary search lasted until the evening of that day. When the night was getting darker, the servants of the Zhizhou Mansion had searched the yard of the group of them several times, but still found nothing.

After the last search, the head guard came over regretfully, shook his head helplessly, and reported, "Madam, nothing was found."

"Forget it, let's go."

After struggling for most of the day, Ms. Cui found nothing. Her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't let it go. She could only stand up dejectedly and let her grandma help her to leave.

A group of officials watched helplessly as Mrs. Zhizhou came to make a big fuss for no apparent reason, turning their yard into a mess. Now she left quite freely, and they could only secretly feel angry.

However, they were living under someone else's roof and had accepted the kindness of the Zhizhou Prefecture. They couldn't even show their faces and could only crush their anger and swallow it in their stomachs.

Just as Mrs. Cui was about to leave, a calm and clear voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, you came here for no reason and wronged us. You haven't found anything right now. You have to apologize to Mr. Li and the police, right?"
