Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

" My lord! This…This is a conspiracy! Yes, it must be!"

Zhu Wuya shouted, realizing that he couldn't escape from this case since there were cold, hard proofs of his corruption before everyone.

" It must be my damned servant! That bastard! What a snake!" Zhu Wuya knelt before Cai Yunhai as his voice became more and more pitiful.

Even Cai Yixue had to admit that Zhu Wuya's acting capabilities could put even professional actors to shame.

" Patriarch Cai, We must investigate this matter. The money embezzlement is far too great."

" However, We can't neglect the chance that someone might be trying to frame Zhu Wuya."

Another old geezer chimed in. " Yes! We can't rule out the fact that Zhu Wuya's assistant was the one doing the corruption and pushed Zhu Wuya's name on the top."

Cai Yixue's lips twitched as she could see some elders still trying to find leeway for Zhu Wuya. However, the number of voices supporting Zhu Wuya already decreased by ⅔.

" Well, If that's the case, then the money should be with your servant, right?" Cai Yixue suddenly spoke.

" Then how a person like you got 50,000 taels of gold to purchase Body Strengthening Pill for your son?"

" Th-That's…" Zhu Wuya was stumped when he heard that question. Everyone in the hall became silent when they heard that.

" Damn it, This bastard!"

" He actually purchased Body Strengthening Pills?"

Many of them couldn't help but be envious when they heard that. They had to use their few years of savings to purchase such medicines. Yet, Zhu Wuya already spent it in secret?

" I… Yes, I purchased it. But that's because I saved money and borrowed some from my wife's house." Zhu Wuya gritted his teeth as he explained.

" You can't blame me for caring about my son! Which parents don't want to see their children grow?"

" Indeed, What Zhu Wuya said is valid."

" I support him. We should clearly investigate this case."

'Fuck! I need to escape no matter what. At least if I got away now, I could easily arrange a scapegoat. After that, I would simply resign. Yes, That's it.'

" Without any more proof, It's impossible to fully believe that Zhu Wuya is corrupted."

An elder spoke as he bowed before Cai Yunhai.

" I beseech Patriarch Cai to not give any hasty judgment."

" What proof more do you want?"

" But there isn't no proof that says Zhu Wuya has been using his corruption money other than this!"

Although the number of people who supported Zhu Wuya became smaller, their voices remained vocal.

" Well, well… Since Elder Zhu already spent all his life savings, there shouldn't be any more money in your house, right?"

A voice startled everyone as they looked at the entrance of the hall. Seeing a handsome young man wearing a white linen robe walking into the hall, with Old Yang escorting him.

" Son in Law?"

" Young Lord Jia?"

When Zhu Wuya saw the fox like grin on Jia Hao's face, he felt an ominous foreboding.

" What? Did I say anything wrong?" Jia Hao asked again, making Zhu Wuya regain his thoughts.

" Of-Of course… I spent a large amount of money this time, so… There might be some shortage of funds in our house." Zhu Wuya spoke lightly.

" I see…Then how about this thing? Do you remember anything?" Jia Hao's grin became wide, like a devil's grin when he saw Zhu Wuya lying.

Zhu Wuya's pupils dillater and his legs became limp. Because he saw the guards behind Old Yang carrying out three big trunks, which were made from precious wood.

" How…How is that possible?"

Falling on his knees, Zhu Wuya's mind buzzed and his body turned icy cold. How could he not recognize the box? It was something which was dear than his own life after all.

But his mind only rang with one question. How Jia Hao find it?

An hour ago.

" Haah, Young Master Jia, I think you should come to the training area. Horse riding is an essential skill yet you didn't learn it yet." Old Yang sighed as Jia Hao sat behind him.

" Oh, Don't worry about that, Uncle Yang. I will surely learn it." Jia Hao replied with nonchalance, making Old Yang speechless.

' Damn it, Even if you are a scholar, you are now married to a military clan. Shouldn't you show a bit of manliness and valor?'

Old Yang mumbled inwardly as he led a group of guards.

" We have arrived. This estate belongs to Zhu Wuya."

Looking at the giant estate, Jia Hao couldn't help but snort. " Living near the market area and having such a big estate, he really gobbled a load of money."

" He said that it was given by his wife's family." Old Yang spoke.

" Really? That sounds like a crap." Jia Hao laughed as he looked at a health guard.

" Go ahead and kick that door." Jia Hao commanded, making the guards speechless.

They truly didn't understand why Old Yang would follow their new yet frail son in law to raid Zhu Wuya's house. However, no matter what, they had to follow the orders.

" Halt! Who are you!"

" How dare you to cause a ruckus here?!"

Some servants and guards of Zhu Wuya's manor rushed, but the guard of the Cai Family was pretty fast. With a swift kick, he broke the gate as Jia Hao walked inside.

Raising a token, Jia Hao's voice boomed.

' IRS! OPEN UP!'

Resisting the urge to say that, he changed it.

" I am Jia Hao and carrying the Insignia of the Cai Family. By the name of the Patriarch Cai, we have come here to check the house!"

Despite his looks, Jia Hao's voice was loud and imposing, making everyone look at the insignia reflecting sunlight in his hands. As his words fell, the guards of the Cai Family broke into the estate and surrounded it.

" Young Lord! I am Old Ma, the head steward of thai manor." An old man hurried to Jia Hao and bowed.

" There must be some misunderstanding! Why must you…"

" Why must we?" Jia Hao snorted. " Your lord Zhu Wuya is suspected of embezzling the Cai Family's treasury. On the behalf of the patriarch, I have come here to search for the money of corruption."

" Bu-But!"

Jia Hao took a deep breath and shouted once again. " Those who don't comply, kill without mercy!"

Old Ma was about to say something, but hearing Jia Hao, he shut his mouth.

As Old Yang ordered the guards to search, Jia Hao sat in the courtyard, bathing in the sunlight. He had to admit, the sun in Yunlan continent is much more fierce than Azure Sea World.

' No wonder I felt so tired and dizzy when I came here first time. If I hadn't eaten the Crimson Vigor Pill, I couldn't have stayed here more than a day.' Jia Hao thought inwardly.

After a while, the guards piled all the money they found before Jia Hao, making his eyelid twitch.

" Only seven thousand taels of gold and fifteen thousand taels of silver?" Jia Hao looked at Old Yang.

" And, My lord…Here is the account book. All these are his money earned through Cai Family's wages and other methods." Steward Ma presented Jia Hao with a small booklet, but Jia Hao didn't touch it.

Old Yang leaned toward Jia Hao and whispered. " I personally checked everything. We couldn't find anything like hidden gold."

Jia Hao snorted when he heard that. " If you could find it, it wouldn't be called hidden treasury."

Getting up, Jia Hao picked a long, thin grass and put it i n his mouth.

" Come with me. Today, this young master shall show you the true art of treasure finding."
