They walked a few more steps and found that there was a turning passage in front of them.
Once they turned, they found that on both sides of the passage, there were clean prison cells!
They looked over and saw that there were burlap sacks that were filled to the brim.
Those burlap sacks were piled up in every prison cell, they were piled up like a small mountain.
"Husband, what are these?" Yun Ruoyue looked at the burlap sacks and was shocked.
Fortunately, the prison doors were not locked. Chu Xuanchen immediately walked in and opened the burlap sacks.
When he opened them, he saw that they were filled with golden rice.
Chu Xuanchen was shocked. He quickly opened the other burlap sacks and found that they were also filled with rice.
He and Yun Ruoyue were shocked. There was actually so much rice hidden here.
When they saw the rice, it was like they saw gold. Because rice during the famine was worth more than gold!
"Your Highness, I didn't think that there would be rice hidden in this prison. So this is Su Cheng's granary. He actually hid so much rice, but told the people that he didn't have any food. He really is greedy. With so much food, his Su Family wouldn't be able to eat it all even if they let it rot. He actually hoarded it all here and didn't give any to the people! "Looking at the rice, Yun Ruoyue had mixed feelings.
This Su Cheng really deserved to die!
These rice also represented hope. This time, the people would be saved.
Chu Xuanchen also looked at these grains in disbelief. He roughly counted and found that there were more than five thousand bags of grains!
With so much food, his Su Cheng family wouldn't be able to eat it all in ten lifetimes.
No wonder he didn't find the granary in the government office. It was here.
Thinking of this, he fiercely clenched his fists, "That Su Cheng, he actually dared to hide so much food and didn't open the granary for disaster relief. Wang, when we go back, I'll put the imperial sword to his neck and force him to open the floodgates! "
"Your Highness, Jiang Province is Su Cheng's territory. We didn't bring enough people. Right now, we still don't have all the evidence of his corruption. If you force him or directly kill him like this, I'm afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Su faction and shake the court. Instead of going head to head with him, why don't we think of a way to ease the tension? We can let him open the granary for disaster relief, but we won't have to go to war. Wait until we have all the evidence of his corruption, then we can rightfully punish him! "Yun Ruoyue hurriedly advised.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue.
Yun Ruoyue said, "I just met Qin Fu in the back garden. He's the greedy doctor we met last time. He said that Su Cheng had the disease of riches and wealth, and he didn't let him point it out. I have an idea. We can start from Su Cheng's illness. Let him not waste food and use all the food for disaster relief. If we can solve the problem with words, why do we need to resort to violence? "
"Oh, what is it?" Chu Xuanchen asked curiously.
Yun Ruoyue playfully blinked her eyes. Then she leaned over and whispered in his ear for a while.
After Chu Xuanchen heard this, he nodded and said, "Alright, Wang also thinks that your idea is feasible. Then we'll do it your way."
He didn't bring enough people, so it wasn't good to go head to head with Su Cheng. Otherwise, he was afraid of hurting his Yue 'er.
Very quickly, Chu Xuanchen checked the dungeon again. After confirming that there was only rice hidden inside and tying up all the sacks, he finally walked out of the dungeon with Yun Ruoyue.
After walking out of the dungeon, he even locked the door and stuffed the key into the servant's arms, making it seem like he didn't go in.
