You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 5 Gained Nothing

“Look, look for me, there must be a secret room here, and things must be hidden in the secret room.”

 Guo Qiang started rummaging in the warehouse with a livid face. He wanted to find out the mechanism, thinking that the silver coins were hidden in the secret room.

Several subordinates hurriedly groped around, trying to find a mechanism.

“Knock on the wall. If it is empty, it means there is a secret room.”

"That makes sense." Guo Qiang's eyes lit up and he turned around and praised, "You did a good job. When you find the secret room, I will reward you..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Qiang was dumbfounded because the person who spoke just now was Chen Xue.

 She actually helped him find the secret room of her family's treasure house!

 Is she hallucinating, or is her brain going crazy?

He couldn't understand it, but he knew that this method was fine, so he simply ignored it and turned around to look for the secret room.

 “I, I found it!”

Suddenly, Guo Qiang’s confidant exclaimed, it was the man who had previously arranged for the disaster relief grain to be stored in the Chen family warehouse.

"where?"

Hearing this, Guo Qiang ran over happily. Beside him, Chen Xue's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that in the memory of the original owner, there was absolutely no secret room in the treasure house. How could they find it.

Is it possible that it actually exists and the original owner doesn’t know about it?

Thinking of this, Chen Xue's face looked a little unsightly, and she hurriedly ran over.

I saw the henchman's palm spread out, and there was a white rice-sized...pearl on it. Apparently, it fell to the ground, but Chen Xue didn't notice it.

Seeing this, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had found the secret room, but it turned out that it was just such a small pearl that she was too lazy to pick up.

"roll!"

Guo Qiang's face suddenly turned black. If it weren't for the censor, he would have wanted to chop his confidant in half with a knife.

　　It’s just a matter of fun, isn’t it?

The confidant was kicked, and he felt aggrieved, "General, didn't you say that there is nothing in the treasure house? Now I have found it..."

"roll!"

 Guo Qiang's lungs were about to explode because he was not serious about doing things and still made excuses.

However, since my men have found a pearl, even though it is a very small one, it also means that something was once placed here, but it was just moved away.

Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "Continue searching!"

Beside him, Chen Xue said aggrievedly again, "I told you, our family is very poor, so poor that we can't even open the pot."

Guo Qiang ignored her, but the censor believed it. He sighed and regretted, "Hey, if I had known that Zhengyuan was so honest, I shouldn't have doubted him. I would have stopped your majesty even if I risked my life."

"Your Majesty, it's not too late," Chen Xue said, "As long as your Majesty continues to investigate the truth..."

 “Ahem!”

Guo Qiang coughed, interrupted their conversation, and then said to his subordinate, "Take her away and send her to the front yard."

Chen Xue was the first to speak, "Wait a minute, I can take you to other warehouses in our house."

"hehe!"

 Guo Qiang was about to taunt, even without you, I still know where your warehouse is, but thinking that maybe the warehouses he knew were only superficial, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Why?"

He was a little curious, why did Chen Xue do this? Logically speaking, shouldn't he try his best to stop them?

 “It’s almost noon.”

 Guo Qiang was confused when he heard this inexplicable words. He killed his relatives out of justice. What is the difference between this and noon.

Chen Xue continued, "Who knows how long it will take you to find the warehouse. It's almost noon. If you finish the search earlier, I can have lunch earlier."

 Lunch?

 Guo Qiang’s lips twitched, you still want to have lunch, whether you want a decapitated meal or not, whether you can survive until tomorrow is not certain, you still want to eat.

Hopeless!

He shook his head, feeling somewhat sympathetic to Chen Yuan. The only daughter in the family had a brain problem, tut tut.

 Sure enough, with Chen Xue leading the way, their efficiency would be much higher.

However, the warehouse that was opened was still empty, which made Guo Qiang wonder whether Chen Xue took them to the empty warehouse on purpose.

"etc!"

Guo Qiang suddenly stopped and pointed to the houses on both sides, "What are these rooms for?"

 “My parents’ room, and other empty rooms.” Chen Xue replied honestly.

 “Let’s go in and have a look!”

Guo Qiang sneered. He didn't want to go to the treasure house. It might be empty again, or it might be hidden in their room.

Even if you can’t find gold, silver and jewelry, other valuables will do. After all, it’s not easy to raid your home and not find anything. This is simply a fantasy.

It's impossible, even the room they live in is empty, it would be too far away...

 Guo Qiang's eyes widened and he stared at the room. Looking at the room with only a table, a few stools and a bed, he was somewhat doubtful about life.

Is this a room?

 Is this a room for people to live in?

 Where is the quilt?

 Where’s the pillow?

Who doesn’t sleep without a pillow?

Who only sleeps on the bed board? Even an ordinary family can't be so outrageous!

“Zhengyuan, this is really...”

The censor opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He had been shocked, sighed, sympathized, and heartbroken several times.

 Now that I saw this scene, although I was still shocked, I quickly accepted it.

“No wonder when the court asked for donations for disaster relief a few days ago, Zhengyuan actually gave out 10,000 taels. It turned out that he had raised the money by selling off his property. This is simply..."

Seeing that Chen Yuan would rather sleep on his own bed than collect money for disaster relief, the censor was so moved that he wished he could rush to the palace now and let His Majesty retry the case.

Hearing that the censor actually explained it to him, Chen Xue touched his nose. This reason was really reasonable.

 That’s so reasonable!

Guo Qiang cursed in his heart at this time, the Chen family must be mentally ill, who is so stingy that they sleep on the bed board at home.

This is definitely not Chen Yuan's room.

He kicked open the door of the room next to him without giving up, and found that the room next to him was cleaner than this one.

There wasn’t even a bed board inside, and the empty room looked like it had just been built and no one had moved in yet.

 “Go and kick the door open for me!”

Guo Qiang became angry and asked his men to kick open the doors of all the rooms. Standing in the yard, he could see the situation in all the rooms at a glance.

 It turned out that everything was empty.

 He had some doubts about life.

Is this the Chen family?

 Did he go to the wrong door and search the wrong house?

 Actually, this is not the home of a third-grade official, but the home of a beggar. No, at least there is a quilt in a beggar’s home.

He returned to the front yard angrily and saw that his men had gathered together, and he was immediately furious.

 “What are you doing standing around like this? You’ve already finished copying?”

 “The copy is finished.”

Guo Qiang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and said with some joy, "Where are the things?"

"No."

 Everyone shook their heads, "The Chen family doesn't have anything valuable."

"right."

Someone echoed, "Even if it's a chicken coop, there's only chicken feathers on the floor, not even a chicken leg."

“Yes, yes, I’ve raided homes so many times, and this is the first time I’ve found someone so poor.”

“It’s more than just poverty. This is simply a new house. It’s as if the Chen family has just moved in.”

Hearing what everyone said and what I said, Guo Qiang summed it up and came up with four words: nothing.

　　By the way, it’s not like I gained nothing.

There is also a fragment of a vase in the hall, as well as a pearl the size of a grain of rice found by a henchman.

Thinking of this, he felt anger welling up in his chest, and then a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
