  Chapter 990 990. Mysterious letter

  The little woman walked towards the treasury with a look of ecstasy, with a greedy look, she quickly took off her clothes and moved the gold bricks. If it was possible, she would definitely empty it without hesitation.

  Not to mention him, other people probably have the same idea.

Chu Tang quietly watched her move the gold bricks. If she had moved a dozen or so yuan, she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. But the little woman was too greedy, so she took a bunch of them, and the gold was too heavy for her to move. After struggling for a long time, she did not move the gold away. At this moment, the door of the study opened.

   Chu Tang silently sympathized, and it was Master Wen who came back, making this scene clear.

  The little woman turned pale and fainted from fright.

  Patriarch Wen's face was gloomy, he closed the door, went to take the whip from the shelf, walked towards the little woman, and whipped it on the little woman mercilessly.

  The whips fell densely, the little woman woke up from the pain, and immediately started howling.

   Such voices are not uncommon, and none of the Wen family responded.

  Chu Tang's ears hurt from hearing this, and he came out of the darkness, "Stop beating, it's just stealing a little gold, is it necessary to beat people to death like this?"

  His voice made the surroundings fall into a dead silence.

  Patriarch Wen came to his senses and stared at Chu Tang, "Chu Tang? Why are you in my study?"

  Chu Tang sat on the chair behind the desk, waved his finger, and cast a spell, so that no sound in the room could be heard. Then he pointed at the little woman, and the little woman fainted immediately.

  Wen Jiazhu saw this scene and couldn't help but tremble with fear, "What do you want to do?"

  Chu Tang looked very leisurely, "Master Wen, sit down, I just ask you a few questions, I will protect you and hurt you."

   Master Wen walked to the chair uncontrollably, "What do you want to know?"

  Chu Tang said straightforwardly, "Two questions, first, is what your brother transported away military rations? Second, where did the money from selling the military rations go?"

  Patriarch Wen said with difficulty, "Yes, the money was shipped to Master Yun."

  Chu Tang sat up slightly, "Xia Sanguo?"

  Wen Jia advocated opening his mouth, "Yes."

   The silver was transported to Xia Sang Country, can it be recovered? Chu Tang stared at Patriarch Wen, "Are you from Xia Sangguo?"

The head of the Wen family looked dejected, "The ancestors are, in fact, we have lived in Shucheng for many generations. Later, Lord Yun found us and asked us to obey his orders. Otherwise, our identities will be exposed, and my Wen family will be in trouble." Crisis, as a last resort, I agreed to his request."

  A guess came to mind, Chu Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked tentatively, "How many elders are you in the cloud organization?"

  Patriarch Wen said helplessly, "Second Elder."

  It turned out that the Second Elder was right in front of him, and Chu Tang was in a good mood, "Close the treasury."

  Patriarch Wen put back the gold bricks that the little woman had taken away, and then closed the door of the treasury. Now his mind is full of thoughts of the end.

  Chu Tang took away the little woman and the head of the Wen family, and waited for the gold bricks to be removed before releasing the little woman.

  Back to the Tao Mansion, Chu Tang immediately told Tang Jinghong about the situation on his side, and then asked the people in the teahouse to find an opportunity to move the gold, and as soon as possible, if anyone else knew the existence of the gold, they would definitely move it immediately.

  After the people in the teahouse got the news, they dispatched all their hands to move the gold that night. There were more than eight million taels of gold in total, and it took a long time to move them.

   After getting so much gold, Tang Jinghong personally came to preside over the overall situation.

  In the teahouse, Tang Jinghong didn't know what expression to put on when he saw the warehouse full of gold. How much money would it take to save so much gold? In addition to these, there is also money sent to Lord Yun of Xia Sangguo, which is unimaginable.

  Tang Jinghong bought the gold, usually bought food, and distributed it to the people around Shucheng, and half of it was transported to General Chen, who asked him to pay the military salary owed to the soldiers.

  General Chen saw boxes of gold and was very grateful to Tang Jinghong.

  Once the matter of his underpayment of soldiers’ military pay spreads to the court in the capital, he will definitely be convicted. He will be fine then, and his family should suffer with him.

  But don’t be afraid now, it’s all patched up, and he still needs to participate in the Dongling King’s book. He has already thought about the charges. This time he asked Tang Jinghong to help him with the memorial, otherwise he might be stopped again.

   Dealing with the matter of gold, it is considered that the investigation of the disappearance of the military salary has been clearly investigated, and Tang Jinghong returned to the barracks.

  …

   In a blink of an eye, it has entered the hot summer season.

  Jiang Zhaoyong and Shang Zixing came to Shucheng, Shang Zixing was very good at tracking, and soon found Chu Tang.

   On the second floor of the tea house, Chu Tang sat leaning on the railing, blowing the scorching summer wind, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and asked, "Why are you here?"

  Shang Zixing touched his nose, a little embarrassed, "We want to ask you about the ancient family."

   It took more than a month to find him, afraid that he was really desperate, Chu Tang picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Didn't you find any clues?"

   "We found it, but not many, and as soon as we found it, people would erase our traces, so there is nothing we can do." Shang Zixing said in a softer voice.

   "Did Lu Ziming do it?" Chu Tang guessed.

   "The strength of the two of us is limited after all." Shang Zixing stammered. For some reason, in front of Chu Tang, although he was obviously taller, he always felt that he lacked momentum.

   "Why didn't you come to me earlier?" Chu Tang looked at the two of them.

These words made the two of them feel uncomfortable, Jiang Zhaoyong lowered his head slightly and said, "On the way to find you, we heard some news about the ancient family, so we planned to go and have a look before coming to you, but we didn't expect it to take so long gone."

  Chu Tang didn't say anything, told the two about the ancient family, and then asked them to find Su Liangwei.

  Su Liangwei and Duan Ting were secretly helping Chu Tang find the ancient family, and the news in Chu Tang's hands was passed on by them.

  Jiang Zhaoyong and Shang Zixing stood up and bowed their hands to Chu Tang, "Thank you."

   "When you find the address of the ancient family, don't move casually. This family is good at organs. If you do it rashly, you may never return." He didn't want to see the fourth sister become a widow before she got married.

   "We know." The two came and went in a hurry, and after getting the news, they immediately rushed to the city where Su Liangwei was.

  Chu Tang sent a letter to Su Liangwei, asking them to assist Jiang Zhaoyong, but if he really found the location, notify him immediately.

  Su Liangwei wrote back, expressing his understanding.

  …

   "Chu Tang, the Xuan family sent a letter." Zeng Yu handed Chu Tang a letter with a dark cover and a mysterious atmosphere.

  Chu Tang took the letter and looked back and forth. The whole body of the envelope was black and gilded. This family is so rich? After reading it, he unfolded the letter, and there was only one sentence in the letter, "On the first day of August, the new Patriarch's Succession Ceremony, all the Xuan family will come back to participate."

  The first day of August? Ten days later is the first day of August.

  Chu Tang showed the letter to Zeng He, "Look at it."
