Three black lines appeared on Chu Xuanchen's forehead. He didn't need to eat these things.
Following that, one expensive dish after another was served. Su Ziye picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked through the dishes. When he encountered something he didn't like, he would ask the servants to take it away. Chu Xuanchen had no appetite at all.
This was truly a case of "wine and meat go to waste at the gates of the vermillion, while bones freeze to death on the road". He was an imperial prince, so he had the etiquette of an imperial prince, but he had never been so wasteful.
When he thought about how Su Cheng was so wasteful while the commoners outside were still starving, he really wanted to kill him.
He couldn't stomach this meal, and it tasted like wax.
。
After the meal, Chu Xuanchen returned to the room that Su Cheng had prepared for them with a cold expression on his face with Yun Ruoyue.
As soon as he closed the door, he clenched his fists in anger. "This Su Cheng is indeed a corrupt official. Wang really wants to kill him!"
"Husband, you can't kill him yet. Have you forgotten why we came to the Su Estate?" Yun Ruoyue hurriedly comforted him.
"I know. The army transporting the grain hasn't arrived yet. A large number of commoners outside have starved to death. The commoners urgently need food, but Su Cheng hasn't opened the granary to provide relief! When Wang finds out where his granary is, I'll definitely force him to immediately provide relief! "Chu Xuanchen gritted his teeth.
He had come to the Su Estate to check if there was any food in Su Cheng's granary.
Before he came, he thought that the prefectural magistrate would immediately open the granary to provide food given the severity of the disaster.
He didn't expect that Su Cheng wouldn't do that. Instead, Su Cheng had used the disaster to amass wealth and even told the commoners that there was no food in the granary, so he didn't have any porridge to give out!
He didn't believe Su Cheng's nonsense, so he wanted to investigate.
Yun Ruoyue said, "Alright, when the sky turns dark today, you can go and investigate. From what I can tell, a greedy official like Su Cheng must have a lot of food hidden away. A person like him must love to hoard food. For his own sake, he would rather spoil the food than give it to the common people! "
Chu Xuanchen walked to the front of the luggage and took out the imperial sword from the wooden box. He held it in his hand and said coldly, "This imperial sword can be executed first and reported later. If he doesn't give it to me, Wang will take his life!"
Yun Ruoyue said worriedly, "You gave Su Cheng so much gold today, will he hide it?"
"Don't worry, I've been sending people to keep an eye on him. I even know where the gold is hidden. This gold is the disaster relief fund. When Su Cheng confiscates the family's property, he will get it back. He won't be able to swallow it! "As Chu Xuanchen spoke, he coldly put the treasured sword back.
That night, Chu Xuanchen changed into a set of night clothes and left the room in a flash.
With another light leap, he landed on the roof of the Su Residence.
He flew to every corner of the Su Residence to investigate. After a long time, he found nothing.
He searched every corner of the Su Residence, including Su Cheng's courtyard, but he didn't find the location of the granary.
He didn't find it this time, but he wasn't anxious. When the time came, he would set up a trap and definitely find it.
。
Early the next morning, Yun Ruoyue took Fung and Xiao Die to stroll around the Su Residence's back garden.
She heard Su Cheng boast that his courtyard was big and beautiful, so she naturally wanted to take a look.
On the surface, she was strolling around the garden, but in reality, she was searching everywhere to find the location of the granary.
Even Chu Xuanchen couldn't find the granary, which meant that it was hidden very well and wouldn't be easy to find.
Chu Xuanchen, on the other hand, was reading secret reports from the Imperial City in his room.
Although he was in Jiangzhou, he had spies all over the Imperial City.
He knew everything that happened in the Imperial City.
