章 268: Search

The constables searched Wu Yueze's residence and found gold ingots, gold leaves, silver ingots, and several pieces of jewelry. There were also deeds to houses and lands. Wu Tingxian looked at these things first and said angrily, "You've plundered so much of the people's wealth in a few years. How detestable."

Wu Tingxian first asked the constables to lock Wu Yueze and his wife into the house with ankle chains. He then stayed at the Wu family residence the constables and bailiffs for the night.

The next day, when Wu Tingxian brought Wu Yueze and his family out of the residence, he realized that the entrance was already surrounded by commoners. Everyone cheered loudly and grabbed the rotten vegetables that had been prepared in advance. When the rotten vegetables were smashed onto Wu Yueze, some were still cursing.
