Chapter 297: Night Rain in Jianghu (Part 1)

......

The Minister of Revenue Zhang Tuizhi's face turned pale because of pain, and Zhao Wujiang let go of his hand.

"Mr. Zhang, 500,000 taels are ready, and I will send someone to notify me.

But now you only have one hour, and I will rush to Chen Mansion." Zhao Wujiang twisted his left hand, and the silver needle that pierced Zhang Tuizhi's fingernail was summoned and sucked out.

"ah!"

Zhang Tuizhi hugged his left hand and wailed in pain. After a while, he panted and looked in the direction where Zhao Wujiang left, with fear and resentment in his eyes.

If it weren't for the big plan, I would definitely silence you regardless of your identity! He stood up slowly and decided to prepare money first. Once there is evidence that is unfavorable to him, use money to stabilize Zhao Wujiang first, and then settle the accounts with Zhao Wujiang in the future.

.

......

At the beginning of Si time.

Zhao Wujiang brought relevant personnel to the residence of Chen Anbang, Minister of War.

The Chen Mansion has long been surrounded by soldiers sent by the Empress. Without imperial edicts or specific tokens, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter it.

Zhao Wujiang's arrival made them retreat one after another and respectfully welcome him in.

As the residence of the Minister of War, the Chen Mansion occupies a considerable area and is located in the prosperous area of ​​Kyoto. The house itself alone can be worth at least 7,000 or 8,000 taels of gold.

In addition to the various precious furnishings in the mansion, the Chen Mansion has added a lot of value.

If all of them are included, they will be worth at least 300,000 taels of silver.

It is obvious that it is impossible to fully put all the wealth of the Chen Mansion into your own hands, and it must be handed over to the treasury.

Moreover, Zhao Wujiang did not come for the wealth of the Chen family. Wealth was just by the way. He was more about looking for things other than wealth, such as power, and some secrets that were ashamed of heaven.

The minor officials who handled related matters began to be busy, and kept moving Chen's house tables, chairs, benches, gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings to the courtyard. Soon, the courtyard could not accumulate.

During this trip, Zhao Wujiang borrowed an official he was familiar with from the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Wanshan, the official of the Ministry of Revenue.

Liu Wanshan was very grateful to Zhao Wujiang. It was rare to have such an opportunity to confiscate the house. More importantly, he felt that Zhao Wujiang treated him as his own person, which obviously made him even more happy.

He held the account book in his hand and counted the items he had moved out of the Chen Mansion in every detail.

Zhao Wujiang was wandering around the Chen Mansion with his hands, as if he was walking leisurely in the courtyard, but in fact he was investigating whether there were any abnormalities in the furnishings or architectural structure of the Chen Mansion.

Along the way, except for the fear of seeing his servant maid, Zhao Wujiang did not find any other abnormalities.

He led by his servants to Chen Anbang's study on weekdays.

The study room had been sealed, and there were people sent by the empress to guard the door. They had already received orders. As the chief official, Zhao Wujiang was in charge of the house search.

"Mr. Zhao!" The guard saluted respectfully and then opened the seal for Zhao Wujiang.

Zhao Wujiang pushed the door open and entered.

......

Zhao Wujiang saw a lot of studies in the study, such as Qi Lin, the leader of the Dijiao Gang. Except for some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are swords and swords piled up in the rest of the study.

Dugu Yihe's study is the most ancient and looks like a scholar's study. There are bookshelfs in the room, and the bookshelf is full of various ancient books and texts.

But now Chen Anbang's study room has made Zhao Wujiang's eyes lit up.

This lightning in front of me was not stunning, but surprise.

According to Zhao Wujiang's initial intuition, Chen Anbang's study should be similar to Qi Lin's study, with some weapons hanging.

After all, Chen Anbang is the Minister of War and a martial artist.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Wujiang pushed the door and saw boxes of large open wooden boxes, filled with silver silver.

In addition to silver, there are normal desks in the room, with some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, scattered letters and manuscripts, etc.

Zhao Wujiang kicked the box full of silver, and the box made a dull sound. He was a little confused. Shouldn’t he put some weapons or something?

He sat on the chair in front of the desk, picked up the letters and manuscripts on the desk, and found that it was just some ordinary manuscripts, just some simple battle reports or matters from the Ministry of War, etc.

I always felt something was wrong... Zhao Wujiang looked at everything on the desk, but found no abnormality. He began to stumble around the house, constantly knocking and beating.

Knock the post, knock the chair, knock the table, knock the oil lamp...

As long as it is a physical object, Zhao Wujiang taps it a few times to see if it is hollow or hidden mechanism.

After two cups of tea, Zhao Wujiang, who didn't find anything, had no choice but to let the people outside start counting the things in the study.

When the things in the study were transported clean, he sat alone on a chair in the center of the study and looked around.

Suddenly, his blessing came to his heart, as if he had thought of something, slowly closed his eyes and felt the flow of the air around him.

After a few breaths, a smile appeared on his cheek.

Sure enough, there was a secret room in the room... After he practiced the Vajra Indestructible Art, his acupoints were fully opened. He just felt that although the air in the room was slowly flowing, he was five steps away from him.

At the location, the air seems to accelerate a lot.
