Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 361
The Qingxi eunuch family is the largest family in Qingxi County. Their family has produced several generations of court officials. Although they have never been a high-ranking official, they are all officials of the fifth or sixth rank.

What's more, among their family, there are still people who are working in the palace, and they are also high-ranking eunuchs. The eunuch family can be said to be the most powerful and richest family in Qingxi.

The current head of the eunuch family is over sixty years old, and recently took in a twenty-eight-year-old concubine, so he is naturally in a good mood.

In the early morning, under the service of the concubine, the head of the eunuch family washed and dressed, had breakfast, basking in the sun happily, drinking tea, humming a tune, with the concubine by his side, life is not to mention how nourishing it is.

From time to time, the patriarch of the eunuch stretched out his hands to pinch the concubine's face, and opened his mouth to enjoy the concubine feeding him.

"Patriarch, it's not good! It's not good, Patriarch." At this time, an untimely voice came, and a figure suddenly broke into the sight of the Patriarch of the eunuch family.

"Soul light thing! Patriarch, I am living well, what's wrong! How dare you curse me, see if I don't peel your skin." The patriarch of the eunuch family immediately changed his face, jumped up violently, and kicked someone Flipping to the ground, he glared and roared.

The good mood was disturbed by this Hundan, and it made him very angry.

Despite the fact that the Patriarch of the eunuch family is already 60 years old, his body is still healthy and his flexibility is still the same as before.

"Come here, drag this soul who dares to curse me down, and feed him to the dogs." The Patriarch of the eunuch family was full of disgust and asked someone to drag him down and beat him to death.

Those who dare to disturb his beautiful mood, make him trouble, and dare to curse him will not be punished.

The visitor who was kicked to the ground endured the pain in his stomach, stretched out his hand and hurriedly said: "Patriarch, I am Huan De, and I have important news to report, which is related to the life and death of the Huan family."

"Wait!" The Patriarch of the Huan family stretched out his hand to stop the servant who came forward.

It's about the life and death of the eunuch's family, so he can't help but not care about it.

"Say! What's the matter? If you dare to lie to me, I'll make your life worse than death!" the Patriarch of the Huan family gritted his teeth, his sharp eyes exuding murderous intent.

Huan De trembled in fright, he knew that whether he could save his own life depended on whether the facts he said were strong enough.

"Patriarch! All the food we hid in Xishan is gone! All the guards have been killed! Not a single one was left alive."

"That's right! All the female helpers who went to deliver the meal disappeared!" Huan De said, he didn't dare to hide anything about this matter, and told the whole story.

"What, what?" The Patriarch of the eunuch family was so angry that he almost fainted, his whole body trembling.

"Patriarch calm down, calm down." The servant hurriedly stepped forward to help the Patriarch of the eunuch to sit down, and stretched out his hand to stroke his back to help him calm down.

"Housekeeper, hurry up and inform Ming Mansion that they are coming to the mansion, something serious has happened!" The Patriarch of the Huan family hastily ordered the housekeeper to invite someone.

He couldn't handle the current situation alone, so he had to discuss it with everyone, otherwise, he would suffer a great loss.

"I'll go to the Patriarch right away." After the housekeeper said, he hurriedly led a few people out of the mansion, and separately went to notify the county magistrate and others.

Within half an hour, the county magistrate and several other wealthy businessmen rushed to the eunuch's house. Not only were the eunuch's food hidden in the cave, but part of their food was also hidden in the cave.

They don't have a big family like the eunuchs, some food is their lifeline, if they can't get it back, they have to kill half of their lives.

While everyone waited anxiously, the Patriarch of the eunuch walked in tremblingly with the support of the housekeeper.

Everyone got up immediately, and before the Patriarch of the Huan family left, the Patriarch of the Ma family couldn't wait to say: "Old Huan, what's going on? Why is the good food being robbed!"

"Don't worry, wait until the eunuch sits down to talk about it, the food is gone, there's no point in worrying, no matter how anxious the food is, it won't fly back with wings." Qingxi County Chancellor said.

The most urgent task is to find out who has robbed the food and how to get it back, rather than holding people accountable.

"Everyone's food was robbed, I am heartbroken, and I almost gave up. If the old man really doesn't get better, I'm not looking for you to discuss important matters, but to offer my condolences!" After the Patriarch of the Eunuch sat down, , took a breath.

"Elder Huan, what time is it now, why are you still joking here? You're telling me what's going on." The head of the Ma family said anxiously.

"Then I will talk about the situation reported by the servants." The Patriarch of the eunuch family told everyone verbatim what the servants reported to him.

"That's how it happened. Tell me what's going on."

Everyone frowned and lowered their heads in thought. Only the Patriarch of the Ma family was restless. He was a quick-tempered person, and now he just wanted to retrieve the lost food as soon as possible.

"Do you have any ideas? If you have any, let us know as soon as possible, so that we can get the food back. If we don't get it back, I won't be able to live in peace for a day." The Patriarch of the Ma family said.

"Elder Huan, where is your servant? Can you call me, I want to ask him." The county magistrate said, signaling to the Patriarch of the Ma family to be safe and not to be impatient.

"It's no problem, you go and bring the man!" The head of the eunuch family said to the butler beside him.

"No!" The housekeeper replied, and immediately went to find the man named Huan De.

"Meet the Patriarch!" Huan De first saluted the Patriarch of the Huan Family when he came to the hall, and then saluted the others.

"The county magistrate has something to ask you, you have to answer it truthfully, there is a lie, see if I don't interrupt your dog legs, understand?" the Patriarch of the eunuch said.

"Understood! Patriarch, don't worry! I must know everything without saying anything." Huan De said.

"I'm here to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer me truthfully," the county magistrate said.

"Just ask the county magistrate," Huan De said.

The county magistrate asked Huan De several questions, and he answered them clearly without reservation.

"I know! You can step back!" said the county magistrate. He already knew the ins and outs, and had a general understanding of the food being robbed for a while. He still needs to do one more step to solve this mystery.

Huan De glanced at his Patriarch, who waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and he saluted and retreated.

"How is it? But I already know the whereabouts of the food, so I'll go back and gather the troops, and I will definitely kill all these thieves." The Patriarch of the Ma family said as he got up and went to call for someone, but was pulled away by the people beside him. live.

"What are you pulling me for? Don't prevent me from avenging my revenge." The Patriarch of the Ma family glared at the person who pulled him.

"Why are you in a hurry? Do you know who robbed the food? Where is it hidden?" the man said dissatisfied.

"Didn't the county magistrate say that he knew? As long as he points it out, I'll take it with me and grab the food back immediately." The Patriarch of the Ma family said.

He heard the county magistrate said he knew it with his own ears, but he said it himself, could it be false?

The county magistrate rolled his eyes straight after hearing this. What he meant was that he already had a better understanding of the matter, and further proof was needed to know the specific situation.

How come he knows who did it, isn't this cheating him!

He was shot while lying down.
