Chapter 29 The scapegoat

Gu Xi sneaked to the big house and found the two men just now sitting in a small room next to the house drinking.

She used her Qinggong skills to sneak over, and before the two men could react, she knocked them out with one palm each.

Then he used a small electric saw to cut out a window of the house because windows were easier to cut than doors.

When she went in, she saw that the room was filled with food piled up like a mountain.

Hurry up and collect, collect, collect, collect...

In just a few minutes, all the food was collected, and even her newly upgraded space was almost full.

Now she doesn't have to go to modern times to buy food, and she can complete the system tasks.

After Gu Xi left the house, the duo who were following him also came over and jumped in through the window that Gu Xi had cut open.

Chu Zhao lit the fire and was stunned.

How can this be? ! ! !

He had just checked last night and found that the food in this house was probably piled up like a mountain. He had not yet figured out how to take away this food without anyone noticing.

Now, the house is empty, not even a grain of food is left.

Chu Zhao was shocked beyond words, even more shocked than when he found a pile of delicious food in Zhen Wude's secret room.

"Boss, boss, what's wrong?" Wu Dajiang waved his hands in front of Chu Zhao. His boss' eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and he didn't move. It was too scary.

Although his eldest brother is not so mature as to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, he is also a veteran of the battlefield. What kind of scene has he not seen?

Could it be a ghost that could have shocked him so much?

"Boss, say something, don't scare me." Wu Dajiang was really frightened when he saw Chu Zhao was still as if frozen.

He pulled off Chu Zhao's black scarf, patted his face with his hands, and then touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.

Chu Zhao finally let out a long breath and reached out to slap away Wu Dajiang's claws that were touching his forehead.

"It's okay. I just can't figure it out. This must be an illusion."

At this moment, the two heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, quickly and orderly.

The two looked at each other and quickly climbed out of the window.

Unexpectedly, the tall man who was knocked unconscious by Gu Xi woke up for some reason.

He was stunned for a while, not understanding why he fell asleep. When he looked up, he saw Chu Zhao and the others jumping out of the window, so he subconsciously shouted:

"There's a thief! Catch the thief!"

When the group heard the sound, they immediately rushed over here.

Chu Zhao and Wu Dajiang did not dare to hesitate and quickly fled in another direction. The team did not catch up with them.

This team was sent by Zhou Qing, and one of them was the one who was previously sent to the county government to keep watch.

Because of the good moonlight tonight, he could see Chu Zhao's face clearly.

It turned out that they interrogated Zhen Wude in the middle of the night, and finally he confessed the matter of hoarding grain, so Zhou Qing arranged for them to take over the batch of grain.

But when they entered the big house, they found that there was not a grain of food.

So he took the two men who were guarding the food back.

After interrogating the two men, Zhou Qing felt that Zhen Wude should not have lied. He did store a batch of grain in this mansion. As for why it suddenly disappeared, he was puzzled.

So he called his subordinates to ask for details.

The subordinate said:

"Sir, when we arrived, we happened to see General Chu coming out of that house."

Is it him again?

Last night, Chu Zhao and Xi Xiaoyou went into the county government office late at night, and tonight they saw Zhen Wude again at the place where he hid grain. This was definitely not a coincidence.

He knew that the Northwest Army's food and wages had not arrived yet.

Although he was also worried about the Northwest Army, this matter was not within his scope of responsibility and he could not intervene.

I never expected that Old Chutou's grandson is even more out of line than him. In order to collect food and money, he dared to do such petty thefts?

Zhou Qing felt that this batch of grain must have been taken away by Chu Zhao, but he had not yet figured out how he did it.

But he didn't plan to report the matter to his superiors and was prepared to turn a blind eye to it.

After all, the soldiers of the Northwest Army shed their blood on the battlefield, but the imperial court did not even give them enough food to eat, which was indeed too much.

Even if this batch of grain is handed over, it is not known who will pocket it in the end. It is better to give it to the Northwest Army.

So, Chu Zhao, who was still in a daze, became the scapegoat.

-

modern world.

"I came to this world, hoping to shine brightly..." The phone rang.

Gu Xi had just finished washing up when he received a call.

The other party said he was from the police station and asked her to go over to find out what happened. The police officer on the phone said that someone had reported that she had injured someone.

Gu Xi thought about it and realized that it must be that excellent family of three.

So I called my supervisor and asked for half a day off, packed my things, and went to the police station.

As soon as I entered, I saw Li Yufen crying loudly. When she saw Gu Xi, she shouted excitedly:

"It was her! She was the one who beat my son so badly! Police officers, you must help us."

Then, he glared at Gu Xi fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.

Next to him stood Gu Guoming with a gloomy face.

Gu Xi glanced at them coldly and went to greet the police. The person who greeted him was Officer Wang, who gave her the reward for "heroic acts".

"Hello, Officer Wang. I'm here. What can I ask you?"

Officer Wang called Gu Xi to the office and said with some concern:

"Xiao Gu, these two came to report the case early in the morning, saying that their son had two ribs broken by you and is now lying in the hospital, and they want to ask you for compensation. They also said that they were your father and stepmother, is that true?"

Gu Xi nodded: "Yes, I did beat them last night."

Officer Wang said earnestly:

"Xiao Gu, I know you know some Kung Fu, and I'm optimistic about you. But catching thieves is fine, but beating people is not fine, and domestic violence is not fine either."

Gu Xi took out a USB flash drive from his backpack and said:

"Officer Wang, I beat them in self-defense. You will understand after watching this video."

Gu Xi lived alone and was worried about thieves, so he installed a camera at home, which happened to capture what happened last night.

Officer Wang opened the video. The picture and audio were very clear. After watching it, he became so angry that his face turned blue.

I have never seen such a scumbag, such a vicious person!

Then Officer Wang patted Gu Xi on the shoulder:

"Xiao Gu, you have such a bad father and such a vicious stepmother. It's so hard for you. No wonder a girl like you would learn martial arts. Uncle supports you."

Then he walked out of the office.

Li Yufen rushed up immediately:

"Police comrade, what's going on? Have you arrested her? My son was beaten so badly by her, she should at least pay one million!"
