Twin Brocade

Chapter 660 Contempt
"Nothing to do," Quan Moxian said, "just to see what is hidden in this warehouse?"

"What right do you have!" Hong Ziliang blushed anxiously.

The warehouses behind him are all grain transferred from the warehouse.And this batch of grain, even his father didn't know, was what he was counting on to make a fortune.

Later, Princess Duancheng found him and promised him another benefit, letting him stay still.

Otherwise, he would have asked people to transport this batch of grain to the disaster-stricken areas around Dizhou, making a fortune in silence.

Although the imperial court has sent the prince to help the disaster, food is always the most precious in the disaster-stricken place.For a bite to eat, it is no problem to sell children and daughters, no matter how high the price of rice is, they can sell it.

Wei Yixin proposed to buy his batch of grain at a high price, and also granted him an additional position as an official, so he agreed.

Hong Ziliang's calculations were crackling, but he never thought that such a secret thing he did would have such an accident before him.

"Young Master Hong, I received a tip that a murderer is hiding here." Quan Moxian said calmly: "Dare to ask, but this is your private house?"

"This..." Hong Ziliang was tongue-tied.

In order to keep it secret, he had bought the place long ago.But now, how dare he admit it?Once recognized, the food hoarded from the search will be inseparable from him.

"Since it's not, please forgive Quan for not accompanying me, and deal with official business first, and then talk to the young master later." Quan Moxian cupped his hands, and quickly said to the arresters: "Search for me!"

Gao Mang's law stipulates that trespassing on private houses is not allowed.But since Hong Ziliang didn't dare to admit it, and Quan Moxian used the investigation as an excuse, he was powerless to stop him.

Although everyone didn't understand why, but looking at the conversation between the two, they knew that there must be something unusual.Obtaining Quan Moxian's order, they went into each warehouse separately without delay.

Hong Ziliang's complexion became more and more gray. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and left.

If things go on like this, it will only take a moment for the food to be found, and he can no longer stay here.As long as you can get away, everything is easy to say.

"My lord, where are you going?" Quan Moxian's voice came.

"I don't need your lord to care about it." At this time, Hong Ziliang was very sure that Quan Moxian was coming towards him, and said in a hateful voice: "My lord is on a business, it's better for me to wait for the common people to stay away."

Quan Moxian raised his hand, and Haifeng stepped forward to grab Hong Ziliang's arm.

"What are you doing?" Hong Ziliang struggled and said loudly, "What right do I have to arrest me? My father is the Minister of Sinong! You are a mere fifth-rank official, aren't you afraid of being impeached by my father?!"

"Having a son like you, it's also your father's unlucky luck." Quan Moxian said with a faint smile, "You still have the nerve to mention your father?"

"What... what?!"

Quan Moxian smiled and said nothing.

When this case happened, Si Nong Siqing would not be able to protect himself, let alone Hong Ziliang.

"No!" Hong Ziliang yelled, and said, "I was just passing by here, why did you arrest me?!" He tried his best to clear the blame.

"It's too late to talk about it now." Quan Moxian glanced at Hong Ziliang's servants in the courtyard, and ordered: "Take them under control."

Hong Ziliang cannot be punished, but these servants have no such worries.

There are several servants of the Hong family here, as long as they enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, no one can hold them back.

After finishing the order, Quan Moxian ignored Hong Ziliang who was struggling endlessly, and turned his attention to those warehouses.

After the cup of tea, more and more arresters came out of it one after another.

They looked serious like the bottom of a pot, and they all had handfuls of white rice in their hands.

Those who can work in the Ministry of Punishment are all capable people.Especially the few people selected by Quan Moxian, all of them have the ability to handle cases independently.

A large amount of rice grain was found here, what else do you not understand?Everyone looked at Hong Ziliang with contempt and disdain.

This is to make it clear that they want to make a fortune when the people are suffering from disasters!
Otherwise, how to explain such a large batch of grain hoarding in the warehouse in the southern suburbs?
You know, since the disaster in Dizhou, the city of Luoyang has been short of food.Later, with the allocation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the shortage of food in the city was temporarily alleviated.

However, with the influx of a large number of disaster victims, and the fact that the original people in Luoyang City bought a large amount of food in panic, the food in the city has always been a little stretched, and it has never been abundant.

The missing part is allotment of food from warehouses to appease the people.

The role of liquidation is originally like this.But in fact, it is more to prepare the military rations needed for war, and it will not be used if it can not be used.

In the city, some grain merchants spontaneously opened warehouses and sold them in limited quantities every day to cooperate with the imperial court's actions.

And they just searched those warehouses, and the amount of rice grain was huge.According to a rough estimate, the rice grains inside would be enough to feed a vanguard army for half a month.

However, this batch of grain did not appear on the market in Luoyang City, but was hoarded here.Do you have to guess about the intentions in this?

Even the eyes of the few people sent by Mr. Jiang changed from stunned to angry and admiring.

Angry at Hong Ziliang's audacity, trying to muddle through at the feet of the emperor; admiring Quan Moxian's ability, he was able to solve such a big case without making a sound.

"No, no!" Seeing everyone's eyes, Hong Ziliang hurriedly waved his hands: "This, this has nothing to do with me! I'm just passing by, how do I know what's inside?"

"Someone must be trying to frame me!" He seemed to be grasping at the last straw, and hurriedly judged: "Yes! It must be like this, someone is trying to frame me. I don't know, I don't know anything!"

It's just that he was so hoarse that no one paid attention to him.

"My lord." A black-clothed policeman cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate found this in the warehouse." What he presented were a few empty coarse cloth pockets with the words "Tongcang Bing 25" impressively printed on them.

Holding this bag, Quan Moxian couldn't help laughing.

He was worrying about how to prove that this batch of rice was exchanged from Tongcang, but he didn't expect Hong Ziliang to be so careless that he left evidence.

This saves him a lot of effort.

Coupled with the clues he found in the account books before, once confirmed in the hatchback, he had enough reasons to go to Tongcang to investigate the case.

"Young master," Quan Moxian showed Hong Ziliang the pocket, and said, "Don't tell me, you don't know this? Your father is in charge of the warehouse, and you are his son. Do you want this batch of grain to appear here?" Tell me it's a coincidence?"

Looking at the words on the pocket, Hong Ziliang felt as if struck by lightning, knowing that he could not escape.

He was furious instantly, and shouted at the manager under him: "Look, what I said! Let you destroy, destroy! Everyone is lazy like a pig! Are you all dead?!"
