Chapter 4 The Royal Gift from the First Emperor

"It seems that after the governor pierced my shoulder with the broken sword and killed the master, the system determined that the broken sword shot out from my body, so the system mission was completed..."

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

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

"Although it is a destructive move from the lower third lane, fortunately it is better than nothing!"

With a thought in his mind, Zhao Yu understood the skill instantly.

The good thing about the products produced by the system is that no matter what kind of martial arts, you don’t need to bother Baal to learn it.



Opening the door, Zhao Yu walked straight into his warehouse.

On a table at the end of the warehouse, there is a box that is as long as an adult's arm and half a foot wide.

This is the guy Zhao Yu eats with, and it's called the Treasure Box. It contains all the auxiliary tools uploaded by Zhao Yuzu for confiscating homes.

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

With the driving notice, Zhao Yu first summoned the inspection team, then picked up twenty officers from the Inspection Department, and then headed towards Guo An's mansion in a mighty manner.



East of the city, Liyu Hutong.

Outside a small house that was originally inconspicuous, it was now surrounded by soldiers from the Military and Horse Division.

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

Looking at the slightly shabby mansion, Wang Liu, the attendant next to Zhao Yu, couldn't help but said: "Guo An is also a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Isn't this mansion too shabby?"

The household minister is only a fifth-rank official, and he is really not very popular in Kyoto.

However, everyone in the officialdom knows that Guo An's household minister is different from other fifth-rank officials.

As a servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was in charge of half of the salt tax accounts in Jiangnan, and was also responsible for issuing salt quotations to salt merchants.

Whenever Guo An has a wrong thought, won't the money keep rolling in?

Zhao Yu smiled calmly and said: "Hey, Liuzi, remember, the more someone has shit in their crotch, the tighter they cover it!"

Liu Zi nodded, then quickly stepped forward and handed the driving ticket to the soldier guarding the gate.

After the soldiers read the driving notice, they first ordered their men to lift the seal on the gate of the mansion.

Then he trotted to Zhao Yu and said with a flattering look on his face: "Everyone on the mission, do you want to go directly to the mission, or do you want my people to go to 'sweep out the darkness' first?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly when he heard this. Having integrated the memory of the original owner, he naturally knew what this sweep was.

Whenever a criminal is sentenced to death, his family members will follow suit.

Normally, after a prisoner's home is confiscated, the young and beautiful female family members will be sent to the Jiaofangsi, while the others will be sent to the smog-infested areas.

However, some people who have offended the powerful will have their homes confiscated and their family members imprisoned at home.

After being imprisoned for many days without food or water, the whole family will starve to death.

The so-called sweeping away means to dispose of these starved corpses first.

Zhao Yu was recuperating 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 black corpse, Zhao Yu led his men into the house.

The house is not big. There are two wing rooms on the left and right, a kitchen and a woodshed. The main hall is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. You can almost see the general outline at a glance.

After entering the courtyard, the officers from the Inspection Department dispersed to search the side rooms and the main hall, while Zhao Yu stood in the courtyard and stared at an entrance screen wall not far away.

Generally, the screen walls of official houses are carved with elegant objects such as plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.

But on the screen wall of the small house of Guo An's family, there are three big characters of "dragon flying and phoenix dancing" engraved on it.

Loyalty, filial piety, honesty.

Speaking of Guo An, his family background is not bad at all.

His grandfather was the personal lieutenant of the founding King Wu Ping, and was extremely loyal and brave.

As for his father Guo Shuliang, he was the salt transport envoy to Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers. This position was a lucrative job that even the cabinet bosses were worried about.

But after the death of his father, Guo Shuliang did not hesitate to resign and go home to live in Dingyou for three years, handing over a first-class job in the world.

When he came to Guo An again, the reputation of honesty and integrity spread throughout the capital, so the late emperor felt that the three generations of the Guo family were loyal and good, so he specially bestowed the three words "loyalty, filial piety and integrity" on him.

"Sir, we have searched the main hall of the wing and only found these..."

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

There was nothing else in the box except a few pieces of silver.

"My father has been a salt transport envoy to the Huaihe River for four years, and he is a rich man in charge of the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River, but his family only has a few scraps of silver... Who would believe it?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and then took off the long box on his back.

After opening it, take out an object from inside.

There is a trumpet-like thing on each end of this thing. The difference is that the trumpet on one side is as big as a sea bowl, while the one on the other side is about the same size as a wine cup.

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

"knock!"

When Zhao Yu finished speaking, Liuzi on the side took out a small hammer and tapped it gently on the wall.

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

Most corrupt officials like to hide their money in hidden compartments on the wall, and you 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 side room with a frown on his face.

Zhao Yu was certain that Yuhuatian was concerned about the so-called demon book of Guo An's family, so he framed Guo An for corruption and perverting the law.

However, the poverty shown by Guo An's family was somewhat excessive.

Even if this guy is incorruptible, he won't be able to save a little bit of money by serving as officials for three generations, right?

Looking around this slightly shabby little courtyard, Zhao Yu finally turned his attention to the screen wall given by the late emperor!

Zhao Yu quickly came 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 was already quite old, but where Zhao Yu's fingers brushed it, he could see that the glutinous slurry used for pouring in the gap was very new.

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

Sure enough, this screen wall, which seemed to have no problem, was wider than the average door.

"It should be right here..."

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

"Sir, 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 a gift from the late emperor!

To put it bluntly, even the current emperor would not dare to demolish this small screen wall easily, right?

Of course Zhao Yu also understands what Wang Liu understands.

"Liuzi, you hold my badge and stay here. No one is allowed to approach the screen wall until I come back!"
Chapter completed!
