"What… is going on?"

Mingyang explained, "There are three main types of wall paint in the Great Zhou. The first is raw lacquer, which has advantages such as moisture resistance, high temperature resistance, and moth resistance, but it is relatively expensive. The second is white lime..."

"Look, the four walls of this room, except for the one behind Minghao, are all painted with raw lacquer."

"Only this side is white ash."

Lu Sheng quickly tried it and found that it was indeed white ash.

"However, this may be because Luo Wenhao is rather stingy. The house is probably halfway through decoration, and the budget may not be enough." Lu Sheng touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Dad, can you find some uncles to help push this wall down? I feel like something is wrong."

"Sure!" Zhao Yunshan responded to all the children's requests. Besides, his son's behavior was not unreasonable.

He is thinking and exploring, which is a good thing.

It’s just a wall anyway, I can pay to fix it myself.

Soon, three or four soldiers came over panting, rolling up their sleeves when they heard that they were going to push the wall.

only…

Before they even planned to use much force, the wall became unstable. They didn't dare to use too much force and asked the general and the young ladies and gentlemen to stand further away.

With shouts of three, two, one, the wall collapsed.

At the same time, the gold bars blinded everyone's eyes.

The people who had heard the noise and rushed over to join in the fun gasped. They retreated in a daze and glanced at the plaque above their heads. "That's right, this is Magistrate Luo's home..."

Mingyue was the first to rush up. She was wearing a mask and was not afraid of the dust.

Mingyang also covered his nose and walked up.

Lu Sheng coughed as he walked forward. He had never seen so much money in his life.

He is eighteen years old now. Even if he works until he is eighty, he can only save up four or five gold bricks as big as this even if he does not eat or drink.

But this bastard Luo Wenhao actually has an entire wall of it!

God is so unfair!!!

Lu Sheng was almost crying.

Mingyue's tears of envy flowed from her mouth.

Even though she was a princess of a great country, she had never seen so much gold! And it was all gold bricks!

Heaven, earth!

Zhao Yunshan transformed himself into a husky and ordered his men to block the area. He also called in many soldiers and demolished Luo Wenhao's house.

It would have been fine if it hadn't been demolished, but once it was, I was shocked to find gold bricks covered with raw ash on the beams.

In the end, he even didn't let go of the fields.

However, no gold, silver or jewelry was dug out from the ground. Instead, a corpse was found, which looked like a young man in his twenties.

The clothes on his body had been eaten to pieces by insects and ants, but the small porcelain bottle hanging around his neck helped Lu Sheng find his family quickly.

Both the gold bricks and the corpses were seen by the onlookers, and Zhao Yunshan and Lu Sheng had no intention of suppressing the matter.

They want everyone to know that they have not wronged anyone. This Magistrate Luo is a corrupt official who has embezzled countless people's money!

When Mingyue thought of this, she instantly lost interest in the gold.

What she wants is clean and honest money, not the flesh and blood of these people.

Mingyue and Minghao returned home first, thinking that Luo Wenhao in prison would confess his guilt soon.

After all, the stolen money has been found.

However, when the father and son came back in the evening, they were still in a bad mood.

After asking, I found out that Luo Wenhao accused himself of not knowing these things and put the blame on his wife.

Mingyue blinked. How could she be so shameless?

"No way! The facts are right in front of him, and he's still denying it? Can't he just sentence him directly?"

Zhao Yunshan sighed, "This matter has become known to everyone. The emperor said that he must confess his guilt."

Alas, the most direct evidence is not available yet. "It would be nice if there were an account book or something." Mingyue muttered.

Ming Yang's eyes lit up, "Sister, you're right. These people will definitely keep a record of every penny they embezzle. Let's go find them right away!"

As he said this, he was about to stand up.

Jiang Mengrou pushed him down and said, "Eat first. Only after eating can you have the strength to look for it. Don't be short of this or that when you should be growing up. If you don't grow taller, you will suffer!"

Minghao also laughed and said, "Hehe, be careful, big brother, you may not be as tall as me in the future. Big brother, if that account book really exists, it won't grow legs and run away, so just sit down and relax."

"Yes, yes, mother is right, and my brother is right. I will go after I have eaten my fill." Mingyang knew that he was a little excited just now, so he quickly sat down and ate.

However, it is true that his younger brother, who loves to wield swords and guns, is almost catching up with him in height recently, so he has to work harder to grow taller.

Mingyang thought to himself.

After dinner, Zhao Yunshan and Mingyang went to Luo Mansion again. There was nothing inside except dust and the empty house frame.

"Then where will this thing be placed?" Zhao Yunshan sighed.

"Dad, if it were you, where would you put it?"

"I'll give it to your mother or sister, or at least to you."

Mingyang's mouth twitched. He thought he would have to queue behind them.

Forget it, if it were me, I would probably put my father at the back of the list.

The two of them tacitly put Minghao last. Thinking of this, the father and son burst out laughing.

"Then let's go to his ancestral home tomorrow."

"Ah."

---

The next day, Mingyue followed Zhao Yunshan and climbed onto the carriage bound for the small county town.

"This Magistrate Luo is really cruel. He is so rich, but he still abandons my parents in the mountains."

"That's right! I will always despise him!" Minghao curled his lips and felt disgusted whenever this person was mentioned.

"I'm afraid he's trying to maintain his image as an incorruptible person." Mingyang said it all.

"That makes sense." Luo Wenhao is really good at pretending!

"By the way, my father and I went to visit his women yesterday, and they all looked pale and thin."

"Especially his wife, whose hands were as rough as those of a woman working every day. When she learned that Daddy was here to investigate, she kowtowed to him desperately, saying that her husband was innocent..."

Just by listening to Mingyang's description, Mingyue's mind suddenly emerged with the image of a virtuous and family-oriented wife, and she prayed to Shangguan to seek justice for her husband.

Thinking of this, Mingyue felt a little depressed. "He lied to his parents, his wife and daughter. Was it worth it?"

"Isn't the purpose of having money to allow yourself and your family to live a better life?"

"I do not know."

Mingyang felt a little bitter when he thought of Luo Wenhao's parents, wife and daughter.
