When the carriage arrived at Uncle Chang's house, several Xiu Luo Envoys had already surrounded it.
The house was a single-entry dwelling, not large, but well-equipped and in a good location.
An elderly soldier could own such a residence, which was quite rare in Great Chu.
Bai Zhi'er was just carried down from the carriage by Feng Fuce.
When they heard an elderly voice scolding from inside—
"You bully me because I'm blind in one eye and lame in one leg, trying to seize my family's wealth? Don't underestimate my old bones, I can still beat you all with ease!"
Lei Hu cupped his fists and explained, "Old man, we are here by the Emperor's order, to investigate whether your government allowances are appropriate."
Uncle Chang became even more agitated.
"What do you mean, do you think I am capable of corruption? What I have now, was given by the government, not stolen!"
Feng Fuce led Bai Zhi'er inside and responded coldly, "It must be investigated first to be clear."
