Chapter 1050 - 1050 1050 Nowhere to Hide
1050: Chapter 1050: Nowhere to Hide 1050: Chapter 1050: Nowhere to Hide Zhou Shuren held an umbrella; two storehouses were already filled to the brim, all with silver and jewels that had been searched out today.
Today’s haul had to be accounted for, as the actual silver needed to be deposited into the national treasury by tomorrow.
Zhou Shuren echoed Qiu Yan’s words, “Indeed, who could have thought that someone in the capital had hidden so much for so many years?
I just heard from someone reporting to the Grand Master of Writing that several shops were sealed, including two antique stores.
They’ll bring back whatever they find once it’s appraised.”
The rain made Qiu Yan feel cold to begin with, and now he felt a chill to the bone, “It’s terrifying.”
He could imagine that if the Emperor had not purged the capital, and someone had struck unexpectedly, without any chance to be on guard, the casualties within the capital would be untold, and they would have been the primary targets.
Zhou Shuren saw there was nothing more to see and instructed Lei Langzhong, “Keep your eyes on this place.”
He had no wish to work overtime today; staying in the Ministry of Revenue was already hard enough.
Qiu Yan didn’t want to watch anymore either.
Too much had happened today; those who were involved had all gone home, and those who weren’t had no mind to carry on with their duties.
Now only the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were still at work.
Qiu Yan felt he had aged a great deal, shrugging his shoulders, “Let’s go back together.”
Zhou Shuren, “Alright.”
Qiu Yan dared not mention anything else, only the spring rain, “I hope this rain washes away the stench of blood.”
