The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

This so-called granary actually only has two large rooms.

The first house was completely burned down, and Wei Liu and his companions only escaped by hiding in the second house.

When they were hiding, they did not forget the food they had obtained, which was all in the second room.

The grain only filled half of the ox cart and weighed only a few hundred kilograms.

Bai Jingzhi's proposal was not recognized by Wei Liu. "Will he go out to ask for help?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest." Bai Jingzhi's suspicion was naturally well-founded.

The three of them had just cleared out the place.

The mechanism in the study is very ingenious and most people would not notice it.

"Why don't we split up? Three people in a group. If we don't find anyone, we should leave the city and come back another day."

"If we can't find it, we'll leave a few people behind to wait, and the county magistrate will definitely go to the real granary to check." Wei Liu also had doubts about the county magistrate's warehouse.

There are some grains in this warehouse, and the second warehouse is filled with empty boxes without any valuables.

The Wei family was a wealthy family, and the dowries of the female members of the family required many warehouses to store them.

As far as he knew, the county magistrate's wife was not from a poor family. Her family was a merchant family with a lot of wealth.

The place that the magistrate of Liu County brought here exuded a sense of weirdness.

Wei Liu looked back and saw that the black smoke was gradually disappearing.

They formed themselves into groups of three and scattered to various locations in the house.

Bai Jingzhi's two sisters were still with Bai Zhao, and the three of them ran towards the study room first.

Just now, when they were in the county magistrate's wife's room, the county magistrate must have run out at that time.

Otherwise, they would run into the county magistrate when they rushed to the granary.

The granary was located in another house, which was connected to the county magistrate's residence.

The mechanism in the study is the safest.

The three of them ran all the way and found clues in the study.

There was a piece of white paper on the ground with two clear footprints on it, which were obviously not left by them just now.

"Before we left, there was no paper dropped on the floor, right?" Bai Zhao also noticed this. "It should be down there. He was in a panic when he entered the study."

All the ornaments, books and valuables in the study were gone, which was like cutting off the fat meat of the Liu County magistrate, and he felt great pain in his heart.

The magistrate of Liu County hid in a secret room underground, his fat body trembling.

"All gone! These damn bastards were found in such a secret place. They deserve to die!"

The magistrate of Liu County did not dare to make any loud noise and could only sob quietly.

His eyes were fierce and his five fingers dug into the wall, leaving long marks.

Losing these things is a small matter, but if all the things outside are lost, the entire family’s wealth and lives will be gone.

"I shouldn't have kept those letters in the first place. What would I do if they fell into the hands of Prince Li?"

The magistrate of Liu County pounded his thigh in anger.

He didn't dare to pound on the wall, he heard someone coming in from above.

A loud noise will inevitably arouse suspicion.

The magistrate of Liu County burst into tears when he thought of the lost treasures.

It took him five years to save up these things, and when he wants to go back, he will use these things to build connections.

It's all gone now.

My future is gone and my family is almost gone too.

The magistrate of Liu County wiped his face and said, "Fortunately, my wife still has some. It seems that storing them in three places is the right thing to do."

He still couldn't figure out how the thieves managed to carry away those treasures.

When it was first stored, it took a lot of effort to put the things here.

He would come down to take a look every night before going to bed.

"Damn it, how did these vicious people get into the city?"

The magistrate of Liu County began to doubt their identities, believing that these people were definitely not local people of Liu County.

The locals are not so bold, nor so powerful.

He actually knocked out everyone in his house, and no one came out despite the big commotion.

"My reputation is known throughout Liu County. Those people who have no food after the autumn tax have to find a way out. How could it be them? If these people wanted to resist, they would have rebelled long ago."

The magistrate of Liu County became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He had now fallen to the point where no one was willing to use his power.

"These people must be the untouchables! Just wait and see how I deal with you when the day breaks!"

The fat county magistrate became angrier the more he thought about it, and the scratches left by his fingers on the wall became deeper and deeper.

He already had a plan in mind, and none of these people's accomplices would be able to escape.

If he hadn't run fast, he would have been burned to death in there.

Now he doesn't know how many accomplices they have and how many people are there to support them, otherwise he must go out and gather people.

"Next time, we must dig a secret passage to the outside. Don't expect those families next door to come out to help in such a big fire."

The magistrate of Liu County was so shocked that he almost went crazy.

He was lost in thought downstairs, unaware that the people who had emptied his warehouse had come back to attack him.

The Liu County magistrate's defenses had already been broken, and Bai Jingzhi and his men had already decided that Zhou Yue'e would go down to arrest the people, and the father and daughter would not go along to cause trouble.

Following the previous steps, the secret room opened.

The magistrate of Liu County had already noticed it and was running around with his hands covering his head.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue'e quickly tied the man up and carried him back upstairs.

"So it's you! You're the ones who emptied out my treasures!"

The magistrate of Liu County looked at the scene in the study and immediately understood.

Bai Jingzhi ignored him and just touched Bai Zhao's arm gently, "Dad, go get Uncle Six and the others to come over. Let's go to the real granary."

The granary in the house next door is just a decoy.

At first she thought it was one house, but when she used solar lights to illuminate it she discovered that it was two houses.

However, this county magistrate must have done many evil things, and no one from his neighbors stood up for him.

This also greatly facilitates their actions.

When the magistrate of Liu County heard about the real granary, he was silent for a moment and his face turned pale. "There is no food left. It's all burned down!"

This man was tied up and still refused to stop, so Bai Jingzhi simply kicked him a few times.

Bai Zhao called for help quickly. They arrived at the study. Wei Liu was surprised, "You actually guessed it right!"

Wei Liu looked around and found the study room was almost empty. He then glanced towards the secret room below and his expression changed slightly.

Wei Li simply went to the secret room, and when he came out he was a little disappointed, "It's empty!"

When he saw the magistrate of Liu County, he was furious. He grabbed the magistrate by the collar and said, "You bastard! Where is the thing?"

"They were taken away by your people!" The magistrate of Liu County simply risked his life and looked at Bai Jingzhi and his three companions with malicious intent. "My mechanism is very sophisticated, and ordinary people can't find it! They found the mechanism, so naturally they are the ones who got the money."

Since the original people were not burned to death, the magistrate of Liu County knew that the situation was hopeless.

"There's no truth in your mouth! There are only three of them, how can they move away?"

Wei Li slapped the county magistrate in the face and said, "Tell me the truth, where is the food? Otherwise, hehe~"

He twirled the dagger in his hand and gently approached the fat county magistrate's neck.
