Gu Hao's Home Was Robbed
After returning home, Gu Hao's mood was quite similar to that of his 'dog friend', Zhang Shenzhi.
The moment he stepped into the antique shop, his originally comfortable and happy mood was suddenly covered with a layer of gloom.
He was very observant.
The first thing he noticed was that some of the antiques in the antique shop had been touched.
"We've been robbed!"
Gu Hao's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately checked the small copper warehouse in the antique shop.
There were signs of someone trying to pry open the lock, but after Gu Hao opened it, he found that the copper coins inside were still there.
"I don't think so."
Gu Hao said softly. Then, he scanned the antiques in the antique shop and frowned.
Nothing was missing.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Gu Hao's expression changed.
He quickly ran to the backyard and went straight to his residence.
Wardrobes, beds, wooden boxes…It was a mess.
Gu Hao's expression changed completely.
The small wooden box that was originally hidden under the bed was actually dug out by someone.
"The gold pancake, the green ruyi, and the black jade thumb ring are all gone!”
Gu Hao felt suffocated.
His heart ached uncontrollably.
The vast majority of his assets were in this small wooden box.
Now, there were only a few deeds left in the small wooden box. Everything else was gone!
Gu Hao's breathing became rough, and anger burned in his eyes.
"Damn it, who is it!"
Gu Hao couldn't calm down.
They would lose their family business!
Especially since there were golden pancakes among them!
He was furious for a long time.
Gu Hao finally calmed down a little.
Report to the officials!
He had to report this to the authorities.
This was the first decision he made after calming down.
Then…
He began to ponder.
Was he targeted, or was he accidentally visited by a little thief?
"The possibility of it being a small thief is not high."
Gu Hao frowned.
If it was a petty thief, there would definitely be many things in the antique shop.
That meant that he was being targeted.
Gu Hao's expression changed again when he thought of this.
At this moment…
Only then did he remember that the crystal cup was also lost.
Previously, in his heart, the crystal cup was no different from the glass cup in the future. It was not even worth one tael of silver.
However, in this place, it was a rare and unique item.
Especially since the crystal cup was given by Li Shimin.
"For the glass?"
Gu Hao frowned.
He looked down at the empty wooden box.
If you want to steal a glass cup, then so be it. Why did you steal my big golden pancake?!
"Hmm?" Gu Hao stared at the remaining deeds in the small wooden box, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Something seemed to be missing?
Gu Hao checked carefully.
He found that among the things that hadn't been stolen, other than the title deed and house deed, there were also a few promissory notes from his 'scoundrel friends'.
However…
Compared to before.
A few promissory notes were missing.
"Zhang Shenzhi…"
Gu Hao said softly.
Among the promissory notes, only Zhang Shenzhi's few were missing.
"Did he steal it, or did someone deliberately frame him?”
Gu Hao wasn't sure.
She had a vague feeling that with Zhang Shenzhi's character, it was possible for him to steal some money, but it was unlikely for him to steal the crystal cup.
After all, this crystal cup was an imperial gift.
"Forget it. Let's report it to the authorities first."
Gu Hao shook his head.
If this was a conspiracy, the other party would definitely make things difficult for him very soon.
And the reason…must be related to the crystal cup.
Now, reporting to the authorities was the best choice.
After leaving the antique shop, Gu Hao got into the carriage and headed straight for the Chang 'an County government office located in Longevity Lane.
Gu Hao got out of the car with a cold expression.
He stopped in front of the government office and looked at the two bailiffs on duty.
The two bailiffs immediately straightened their backs when they saw Gu Hao's official uniform.
"I'm the scholar of Hongwen Hall, the top scorer of the current examination, Gu Hao. Go and inform the county magistrate that I'm here to report!”
Gu Hao said.
"Yes." The bailiff standing on the right side of the yamen responded and hurriedly ran into the county office.
"Lord Gu, this way please."
The bailiff standing on the left side of the yamen bowed and invited Gu Hao into the yamen.
Gu Hao nodded and followed the bailiff to a hall expressionlessly. He sat down beside a tea table.
Soon, a fat county magistrate walked over with a smile.
"So it's the top scorer of this year's examination, Young Master Gu.”The fat county magistrate greeted Gu Hao with a smile.
Gu Hao stood up, bowed slightly, and said,""Greetings, County Magistrate Pang."
On the day the results were released, the county magistrate of Chang 'an County, Pang Xiangshou, had personally gone to congratulate Gu Hao.
As far as Gu Hao knew, this County Magistrate Pang was from King Qin's Mansion and belonged to the old ministers of King Qin's Mansion.
Although his official position was small, he knew many people.
He could talk to many dukes in Chang 'an.
County Magistrate Pang Xiangshou sat down and looked at Gu Hao, asking,""Just now, the bailiff said that you are here to report to the officials?”
Gu Hao nodded and said in a deep voice,"My house was robbed."”
"Uh…"
Pang Xiangshou was slightly surprised.
Did the new top scorer have a thief in his house?
This was big news!
His small eyes lit up.
"Tell me the details."
Pang Xiangshou hurriedly asked with a concerned expression.
Gu Hao looked at Pang Xiangshou suspiciously.
Why did he feel that…this fat county magistrate was a little excited?!
" Before I went to Hongwen Hall this morning, my house was still fine. When I came back, I found that my house had been ransacked..." Gu Hao dispelled his distracting thoughts and said slowly.
"Did you lose anything?" Pang Xiangshou asked.
Gu Hao nodded and said coldly,"Our family's wealth has been plundered."”
"Including the crystal cup that His Majesty gave me this morning.”
Gu Hao added.
"Even the crystal cup that His Majesty bestowed is lost?”
Pang Xiangshou widened his eyes.
Eternal Peace Lane, where Gu Hao lived, was just a street away from Longevity Lane, where the Chang 'an County government was located.
The news of Li Shimin rewarding Gu Hao with a crystal cup had spread throughout Chang 'an County early in the morning.
When Pang Xiangshou received this news, his eyes were red with envy.
"... Yes."
Gu Hao replied in a deep voice.
Even though he cared more about the gold pancake, the green ruyi, the black jade ring, and other ancestral items, it was obvious that the only thing that could motivate this fat county magistrate was the crystal cup.
After all, in this era, crystal cups, which were very similar to the glass cups of the future, were definitely rare products.
In particular, the crystal cup had a Royal bonus.
