The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 4 The Emperor's Royal Gift
"It seems that after the governor pierced my shoulder with the broken sword and killed the master, the system judged that the broken sword shot out from me, so the system task was completed..."

"Then, the system detected an abnormality, but the rewards that had been issued could not be recovered, so the Laoshizi self-destruct was activated..."

Zhao Yu looked at the system backpack and martial arts that appeared out of thin air, and carefully recalled the cause and effect.

"Although it's Xiasanlu's insidious move, fortunately, it's better than nothing!"

With a thought, Zhao Yu instantly understood that skill.

This is a good thing about system products, no matter what martial arts, you don't have to bother to learn it.

……

Opening the door, Zhao Yu went straight into his own warehouse.

On an altar at the innermost part of the warehouse, there is a box that is about the length of an adult's arm and half a foot wide.

This is the guy Zhao Yu eats, named Jubao Box.Inside are all auxiliary tools for copying home that Zhao Yuzu uploaded.

After taking the treasure box, Zhao Yu first went to the West Police Department.

With the driver's note, Zhao Yu first summoned the inspection department's troops, and then took [-] soldiers from the inspection department, and then headed for Guo An's mansion in a mighty manner.

……

East of the city, Carp Alley.

Outside a small house that was originally inconspicuous, it was surrounded by the soldiers of Bing Ma Si at the moment.

At this time, Zhao Yu led a group of servants to the outside of Guo An's mansion.

Looking at the slightly shabby mansion, Wang Liu, the servant next to Zhao Yu, couldn't help but said: "Guo An is also a servant of the household department after all, isn't this mansion too shabby?"

The Hubu servant is only a fifth-rank, and he really can't stand on the stage in Kyoto.

However, everyone on the official side knew that Guo An's household servant was different from other fifth-rank officials.

He, the servant of the household department, is in charge of half of the salt tax accounts in Jiangnan, and is also responsible for distributing salt quotations to salt merchants.

But if Guo An moves his mind, isn't that money rolling in?

Zhao Yu calmly smiled and said: "Heh, Liu Zi, you remember, the more shit there is in the crotch, the tighter the cover will be!"

The six sons nodded, then quickly stepped forward and handed the driving letter to the soldiers guarding the gate.

After seeing the driving post, the soldiers first ordered his subordinates to remove the seal on the gate of the mansion.

Then he trotted to Zhao Yu, and said flatteringly: "Everyone on business, should you go directly to the business, or let my subordinates go to 'sweep the dark' first?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly when he heard the words. He, who had integrated the memory of the original owner, naturally knew what this obscurity was.

As long as the criminals are sentenced to death, the family members will follow suit.

Under normal circumstances, after the prisoner's house was ransacked, the young and beautiful female relatives would be sent to the Jiaofang Division, while the others would be sent to the smoky place.

However, some who offended the dignitaries will be ordered to delay the ransacking of their homes, and their family members will be imprisoned at home.

Without food or drink, the whole family will starve to death after being imprisoned for many days.

The so-called sweeping is to deal with these starving corpses first.

Zhao Yu cultivated for two months, while Guo An's family was trapped in the mansion for two full months! !

……

After the soldiers disposed of the shriveled and blackened corpse, Zhao Yu led his men into the house.

This house is not big, there are two side rooms on the left and right, a kitchen and a firewood room, and the main hall is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside, so you can almost see the general idea at a glance.

After entering the courtyard, the officers of the inspection department dispersed to search the side rooms and the main hall, while Zhao Yu stood in the middle of the courtyard, staring at an entrance screen wall not far away.

Generally, on the screen walls of official families, some elegant objects such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are carved.

But on the screen wall of the small house of Guo An's family, there are three big Chinese characters carved in dragons and phoenixes.

Loyalty, filial piety, honesty.

As far as Guo An is concerned, his family background is actually not bad at all.

His grandfather was the personal lieutenant of King Wuping, the founder of the country, and he was extremely loyal and brave.

As for his father, Guo Shuliang, who was the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy back then, this position was a fat post that even the cabinet chiefs cared about.

But this Guo Shuliang resigned without hesitation after his father passed away, and Ding You returned home for three years, handing over the best fat job in the world.

When it came to Guo An, the reputation of incorruptibility was spread all over Jinghua, so the late emperor felt that the three generations of the Guo family were loyal and good, and specially bestowed the three characters of "loyalty, filial piety, and integrity".

"My lord, I have searched the main hall of the wing room, and only found these..."

An hour later, Wang Liu walked out of the side room dejectedly, holding a camphor wood box in his hand.

In the box, there was nothing but a few coins and pieces of silver.

"Father has worked as an envoy for salt transport in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River for four years, and he himself is a fat man in charge of the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River, but the family only has this few coins...Who would believe it?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and then untied the long box on his back.

After opening, take out an object from inside.

Both ends of this thing have something like a horn, the difference is that the horn on one side is as big as a sea bowl, while the one on the other side is about the size of a wine cup.

Walking into the main hall, Zhao Yu put the big end on the wall, and then attached his ear to the small side.

"knock!"

When Zhao Yu's words fell, the six sons on the side took out a small hammer and tapped lightly on the wall.

Zhao Yu, who narrowed his eyes slightly, listened carefully to the sound coming from the small speaker.

Most of the corrupt officials like to hide their money in hidden compartments on the walls, and they can hear the movement from the sound of knocking.

After about a few breaths, Zhao Yu moved the object in his hand to the other wall, and said again: "Knock!"

……

Two hours later, Zhao Yu walked out of the wing with a frown.

Zhao Yu can be sure that Yuhuatian is thinking about Guo An's so-called demon book, which is why he framed Guo An for corruption.

But the poverty shown by Guo An's family is somewhat too much.

Even if this guy is clean and honest, he won't be an official for three generations, so he just saved up a little bit of money, right?

Looking around this slightly shabby small courtyard, Zhao Yu finally set his sights on the screen wall bestowed by the former emperor!

Zhao Yu walked quickly to the screen wall and carefully observed the screen wall in front of him. After a while, he finally found a clue.

Judging from the blue bricks used to build the screen wall, the screen wall has been around for some years, but where Zhao Yu's fingers brushed over, the glutinous slurry used for pouring in the gap is very new.

Walking sideways to one end of the screen wall, Zhao Yu opened his palm and measured the width of the screen wall.

Sure enough, this screen wall, which seemed to have no problems, was more than a finger wider than that of ordinary sects.

"It should be here..."

Zhao Yu stared at the screen wall in front of him, and said to himself.

"My lord, do you mean that the criminal's dirty money is hidden in this screen wall?"

Wang Liu on the side looked at the screen wall in front of him, and swallowed subconsciously.

No matter how stupid he is, he still knows the weight of this thing!
This is bestowed by the late emperor!
To put it bluntly, even the current emperor would not dare to tear down this small screen wall easily, right?
What Wang Liu understood, Zhao Yu certainly understood.

"Liu Zi, you hold my waist card and guard here. Before I come back, no one is allowed to approach the screen wall!"

Zhao Yu took off a waist badge from his waist and threw it to Wang Liu, turned around and got on his horse, galloping towards Xichang.
