Chapter 245 Granary
Several people carefully investigated the discrepancies between the drawings and reality, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wall. Su Chengnan knocked on it with the back of his hand, and Sun Liangyuan also slapped it hard.
"But here?" Gangzi asked.
"Shh, listen to the difference." Sun Liangyuan put his index finger on his lips and whispered.
Gangzi quickly shut his mouth, held up the torch and moved closer, pressing his ear against the wall to listen.
Su Chengnan closed his eyes and concentrated on distinguishing the sound for a while, "This should be it. Gangzi, go inside and see what this room is used for."
"it is good!"
"Come, Chunyu, I'll give you the torch."
"Hold it yourself, hurry up!" Su Chengnan urged.
Gangzi didn't say anything more and immediately turned around and climbed over the wall.
Half an incense stick of time passed...
Gangzi came back from the main gate.
"Miss, Mr. Sun, you guessed right! I found a secret room in this house. It is indeed a granary."
"Let's go and take a look!" Sun Liangyuan was anxious.
Su Chengnan held him back, "Sir, wait a minute!"
Sun Liangyuan looked over, very puzzled.
She added, "Gangzi, have someone go and invite the garrison commander and the people in charge of the granary and archives."
"Yes! I'll go now."
Gangzi jumped onto the roof and soon these people arrived.
"Miss Su, what are you doing?" The bearded guard Zhong Yinghan frowned.
"Didn't you say before that you didn't know where the granary was? We found it."
"what?!"
"Han Liping is such a cunning rabbit, he has three burrows!" Zhong Yinghan is a reckless man. He has always been at odds with Han Liping, but he has no other choice. He has to listen to Han Liping in many things. Su Chengnan can take charge smoothly because of this man's secret help.
On the other hand, the clerks and legal advisors standing by had wandering eyes and were sweating profusely.
Su Chengnan noticed early on that something was wrong with several people, but ignored her and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
"Yes!"
Zhong Yinghan snatched the torch from Gangzi's hand and went in first.
The room was pitch black. After lighting the candlesticks, I found that it was a warehouse used to store miscellaneous items. There were no valuables or documents in it.
It was only Han Liping who came up with the idea of storing food in such a place.
Su Chengnan glanced at those people and saw that their knees had gone weak.
"I'll go ahead, be careful."
"it is good."
The group entered the secret room. The light of the torch illuminated the entire room, which was filled with neatly stacked sacks, so full that they were countless!
"This is more than the one in the City Lord's Mansion." Gangzi sighed.
"That's great! That's great!" Sun Liangyuan picked up a handful of rice grains from the ground, looked at them, and patted the grain bag with joy.
Su Chengnan curled his lips and turned to look at the trembling people, "What do you think?"
"Of course...it's great, great!"
“Blessed are the people!”
"Ha, ha, ha, yeah."
The three of them laughed awkwardly, each expression uglier than the other.
Zhong Yinghan took a quick step, grabbed one of them by the collar, and said harshly, "Did you really not know this beforehand?"
"What are you talking about?! How would we know?!"
"Hmph, if you don't have any guilty conscience, why are you so nervous?!" Zhong Yinghan pushed hard, then let go of his hand and spat at the man.
"You! You reckless man! We won't bother with you!"
"Okay, let's talk about it after we get out." Sun Liangyuan frowned and scolded, but then turned around and said to Su Chengnan with a smile: "I still need to study the Ningguta drawings later, maybe there will be other discoveries!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the person behind Su Chengnan fell to his knees with a thud.
Anyone who saw his guilty look would know that he had something to hide, and he was probably right about what Sun Liangyuan had said unintentionally.
Su Chengnan's eyes grew colder, "General Zhong, I'm leaving this man in your care. Please give him a thorough trial!"
Zhong Yinghan sneered: "No problem! I'm very good at this kind of thing."
"Let's try them at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Let everyone see what they did before."
"it is good!"
Zhong Yinghan dragged the man out, and the other two men went limp. "I'll tell you everything. Don't hit me. I'll tell you everything."
"Oh?" Su Chengnan raised his eyebrows.
"There is a granary in the warehouse next to Coal Hill." After he said that, he fell to the ground weakly.
"Okay! Okay!" Sun Liangyuan laughed and walked out of the secret room first. "Let's go and take a look first."
Su Chengnan followed him out and advised, "Sir, it's windy in Coal Hill at night. Let them take people to check it out. Your health is more important."
Gangzi agreed, "Yes, leave these things to us, and we'll come back to give you the details later."
"Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work."
……
Two hours later, the quantity of the two granaries was counted.
The capacity is five times that of the City Lord’s Mansion warehouse!
If we add all the food together and save some of it, it will be enough for the people of Ningguta to eat for three months.
Very good!
On the way home, even Chunyu and Gangzi were very happy.
The two of them walked along, humming a tune all the way.
"So happy?"
"If the young lady is happy, I will be happy too. If Ningguta is doing well, the Su family will be doing well too, and we will have more hope for the future!"
"Well said! You have a very high level of thinking!"
"Miss, what is the realm of thought?"
"It's a compliment to you!"
"Oh."
……
Beijing.
Imperial Palace, Cining Hall.
"My Queen Mother, are you really going to do this?" the Emperor asked in disbelief.
"I do this for you, my child! If the world is gone, how can you be the emperor?"
"You can only fool a three-year-old with this. Your Majesty Queen Mother is only after the position of Empress Dowager!" The Emperor waved his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for me, how could you possibly sit on this throne and enjoy the admiration of the people?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled wryly, "Admiration? Hahahahaha...that sounds really nice. Since I ascended the throne, how many of these things have truly been for the good of the people? They're all just profiting your family and yourself, Queen Mother!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother slammed the table!
"Your Majesty, how dare you speak to me like that? Do you really think I wouldn't dare depose you?"
The emperor sneered: "Why not just depose me? If you do, you can become emperor yourself. Hahahaha, then I won't have to be a puppet anymore, and I won't have to bear the infamy of being useless and unable to defend my country!"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress her emotions before saying, "Alright, Emperor, all you have to do is sign this contract. Once they attack from Ningguta and sweep across the north, we will order General Zhan to march north and encircle them. Then, we can completely annihilate the Beining Army!"
"As long as the Beining Army is defeated, the world will still be ours..."
"You are so foolish! You'll only end up in a more miserable death if you let a wolf into your home!"
