False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"The Five Cities Military and Horse Department is handling the case! Anyone who is idle should stay away!"

"The Five Cities Military and Horse Department is handling the case! Anyone who is idle should get out of the way!"

Under the fierce scolding of all the soldiers, many ruffians outside Beidacang were dispersed.

These guys all heard that Beidacang was breached by bandits and planned to come here to see if they could fish in troubled waters.

Lin Chen didn't care about this, his eyes just fell on the wall of Beidacang in front of him.

As a place for storing grain, the walls of Beidacang are made of glutinous rice mixed brick walls, which are three meters high.

At this height, it would be difficult for ordinary people to sneak in sneakily.

Not to mention that there are 300 patrol officers in Beidacang, patrolling day and night.

"Master Dutong, the officials from Beidacang are here." Yang Zhi walked over quickly and saluted.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and signaled Yang Zhi to get up: "Take all the soldiers and search the entire Beidacang."

"yes!"

Yang Zhi took the order and left.

Lin Chen looked at Yang Zhi's back with a flash of thought in his eyes.

In Beidacang, as soon as the incident occurred, people from the Shenhua Yamen and Dali Temple came to investigate.

If there were any clues, it wouldn't be Lin Chen's turn to discover them.

but.

Maybe there was an oversight that was discovered by Yang Zhi and his people, and Lin Chen was willing to give the other party a credit.

"Are you the officials of Beidacang?" Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the three officials in front of him who looked like frightened birds.

"Yes!"

One of them bowed and held his hands, looking trembling.

"Why are there only three of you?"

Logically speaking, this Beidacang belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to the rules, the Ministry of Household Affairs is required to send a minister to check the incoming grain every three months.

Once it is verified, if ten stones are lost, the guarding official will be sent to jail.

For less than a hundred stones, the whole Beidacang was asked to answer the question.

For less than a thousand stones, the warehouse manager beheaded him.

If this rule is strictly followed, corruption will definitely be eliminated.

Therefore.

There are at least a dozen officials in Beidacang.

But why are there only three melons and two dates now?

"Reporting to your lord, that day, that night, my colleagues and I were all killed by bandits!"

One of them said tremblingly, with fear in his tone.

All killed?

When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes narrowed.

"Where are the files of the murdered officials?"

"Here, it's all here!"

Obviously, this was not the first time these officials were asked about this matter, and they quickly handed over a file.

Seeing this, Lin Chen had a calm expression on his face, and then asked about what happened that night.

These three people told the truth.

According to the three people.

They were not on duty that night, so they drank and had fun in the house.

I was so drunk that I lost track of time.

But they only heard a cry of killing, which frightened the three of them and hid in the house, not daring to go out.

Because of this, the three of them escaped.

"According to what you said, those bandits killed all three hundred patrol officers?"

Lin Chen thought of something and asked about the key points.

"Yep!"

Lin Chen had read the Shenhua Ya's file before.

The next day, the bodies of many patrol officers were indeed found in Beidacang. Basically, all of them died of neck injuries.

For this reason, there are inferences in the Shenfuya records.

It is said that among this group of bandits, there are people with strong martial arts skills, who are experts in swordsmanship.

"What about the warehouse manager?"

"Guan Li Cang is also dead."

When Lin Chen heard this, he waved the three people to leave.

"Interesting." Lin Chen whispered and walked all the way to a place on the Beidacang wall.

I saw a three-meter-wide gap in the wall here.

This gap does not look like it was created by a siege machine, but rather like someone used the power of his palm to directly blast open the wall.

This seems to corroborate the article in the Shenhua Yamen file that there are warriors among these bandits.

Lin Chen noticed that Yang Zhi was also here, with a surprised and uncertain expression.

Um?

Lin Chen stepped forward and interrupted Yang Zhi's thinking.

"Yang Zhi, what did you find?"

"this......"

"It's okay to just say it."

When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately bowed slightly and let Lin Chen see the damaged edge of the wall.

Lin Chen stretched out his hand, wiped the dust on the wall, and then blew it away.

"Lord Dutong, this wall is definitely not made of glutinous rice mixed with wall bricks."

Yang Zhi has family traditions and knowledge, and his eyesight is much higher than that of ordinary military officers.

He could tell at a glance that something was not right about the wall.

When Lin Chen heard this, a thoughtful look flashed deep in his eyes.

Dare to love.

This section of the wall is a crude thing.

This wall can be knocked down without much external force.

In ancient times, there was no cement, so glutinous rice mixed with egg white was often used as a binder.

So to say……

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Beida warehouse was robbed, was there a mole cooperating?

Suddenly, he looked at the huge warehouse behind him.

There are also unreasonable places.

To be able to evacuate the entire Beida warehouse overnight would require at least ten thousand people to work around the clock.

But judging from the situation at the scene, only a few hundred people survived that night.

"So, is this also a fire dragon burning the warehouse?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth as he thought of something.

The attack by bandits was nothing more than a means of destroying evidence.

So who will attack Guancang?

Lin Chen immediately had a name in his mind.

Heshen, Mr. Heshen! !

"Yang Zhi, you stay here and continue to investigate the scene."

Lin Chen planned to visit this corrupt official who was famous in history.

"yes!"

Lin Chen rode his horse all the way into the capital.

After he sold affordable grain according to the quantity every day, the originally tense atmosphere in the capital suddenly eased, and now it is running again.

Various vendors and shops sell goods on the street.

When Lin Chen saw this, he dismounted and walked.

The residence of a high-ranking official like He Shen is located on the edge of the palace, which is the most prosperous area in the capital.

Worth to talk about.

Housing prices in the capital are also ridiculously high.

The closer to the palace's boundaries, the higher the housing prices.

They range from courtyards with a thousand taels of silver to manors with hundreds of thousands of taels.

Lin Chen's outfit was quite eye-catching.

Many ordinary people hurriedly saluted after seeing Lin Chen.

If it weren't for the Governor in front of them, they would never be able to buy cheap food.

Lin Chen pretended to turn a blind eye, but shook his head inwardly.

In ancient times, people should be more simple after all.

Whoever treats them well will be respected.

Just as Lin Chen was walking towards the inner city, he was stopped by someone.

"Lin, Lin Dutong!"

I saw a fancy-dressed boy in a tight navy blue shirt standing in front of Lin Chen.

Um?

Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the other party's attire.

Which boy in this house is dressed more elegantly than an ordinary landlord?

"What's the matter?" Lin Chen said in a slightly cold tone.

When the boy heard Lin Chen's emotionless voice, his heart tightened.

Thinking again that the man in front of him was a murderer without batting an eyelid, the young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to show off in front of my young mistress.

The boy secretly regretted it, but he didn't notice that Lin Chen's eyes were getting more and more impatient.
