They walked a few steps further inside and found a turning passage ahead.
As soon as they turned a corner, they discovered that there were clean cells on both sides of the tunnel!
They glanced over and saw bulging sacks.
Those sacks filled every cell and were built as high as a hill.
"Husband, what are these?"
Yun Ruoyue looked at these sacks and was immediately shocked.
Fortunately, these cell doors were unlocked, so Chu Xuanchen immediately walked in and untied the sacks.
As soon as he untied it, he saw that it was filled with golden rice.
Chu Xuanchen was suddenly shocked. He quickly untied the other sacks and found that they were also filled with rice.
He and Yun Ruoyue were both shocked that there was so much rice hidden here.
When they saw these rice, it was like seeing gold, because the rice during the famine years was worth as much as gold!
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that what was hidden in this dungeon was rice. It turns out that this is Su Cheng's granary.
It turned out that he had hidden so much rice, but told the people that he had no food.
He is really greedy. With so much food, the Su family can't finish it even if it is rotten, so he actually hoards it all here without giving any to the people!"
Looking at these rice grains, Yun Ruoyue felt mixed emotions.
This Su Cheng deserves to die!
These rice grains also represent hope. Now, the people are saved.
Chu Xuanchen looked at the grains in disbelief. He counted them roughly and found that there were as many as five thousand bags!
Su Cheng and his family would not be able to finish eating so much food in ten lifetimes.
No wonder he didn't find the granary in the government office before. It turned out that the granary was here.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists fiercely, "What a good Su Cheng, how dare he hide so much food secretly and not open a warehouse to provide disaster relief.
When I return, I will place Shang Fang's sword on his neck and force him to provide relief!"
"Your Majesty, this Jiangzhou is Su Cheng's territory, and we don't have enough manpower.
We don't have all the evidence of his corruption yet. If you force him like this or kill him directly, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the Soviet Party and shock the government and the public.
Instead of confronting him head-on, we might as well think of a softer approach that would allow him to open a warehouse to provide disaster relief without going into a big fight.
When we have all the evidence of his corruption, we can then justly punish him!"
Yun Ruoyue quickly advised.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue.
Yun Ruoyue said: "I just met Qin Fu in the back garden, the same money-greedy man we met last time.
He said that Su Cheng was suffering from the disease of wealth and wealth, but he refused to let him point it out.
I thought of a way. We can start with Su Cheng's illness and prevent him from wasting food, and use all the food for disaster relief.
Why should we use a knife to solve a problem that can be solved with words?"
"Oh, what can I do?"
Chu Xuanchen asked curiously.
Yun Ruoyue winked playfully, leaned into his ear, and whispered for a while.
After hearing this, Chu Xuanchen nodded and said, "Okay, I also think your method is feasible, so I will follow your method."
He didn't have enough manpower, so it really wasn't appropriate to fight Su Cheng forcefully, otherwise he would be afraid of hurting Yue'er.
Soon, Chu Xuanchen checked the dungeon again and made sure that everything hidden inside was rice. After tying all the sacks, he and Yun Ruoyue walked out of the prison.
After walking out of the prison, he locked the cell door and put the key into the servant's arms, creating the illusion that he had never entered.
