Chapter 223: Cultural Relics of Ancestral Tombs
Wu Maocai doesn’t hate the Lu family, he only hates Rao Huanzong!
He never dreamed that Rao Huanzong, who had the reputation of being a scholar, would shamelessly surrender the thief and exchange the lives of thirty-eight people in his family for the wealth of the thief!
Looking at the Rao father and son who stood behind the thief's head, Wu Maocai really wished he could eat the flesh and blood of these three people!
He even secretly scolded himself for being confused and even had the idea of marrying his daughter into the Rao family.
"father,"
Rao Guoyi asked his cousin's uncle to eat people and his scalp was numb, and he gently pulled the corner of his father's clothes.
Rao Huanzong turned his head and looked at him, whispering: "What are the dying people afraid of?"
After saying that, he turned around and gave a great tribute to the governor Lu, the governor of Dashun Huaiyang, and said respectfully: "Governor, the thirty-eight members of the former Ming Dynasty rebel Wu Maocai and his family have been captured. Please ask the governor to tell him what to do about it."
Upon hearing this, Rao Guoyi made a sudden surprise and thought to himself whether his father was going to execute his cousin's uncle's family? This is too unkind.
Rao Guozhong remained calm and his expression was his suggestion to his father that he would exchange his cousin's uncle's family for the promotion of the Rao family in Shunchao. It was also his idea.
Because Rao Guozhong believed that the Ming Dynasty had no power to turn the world, and Dashun was a foregone conclusion to the Ming Dynasty, so the powerful local factions should not be foolishly buried with the Ming Dynasty, but to turn the world and respond to the people and return to Dashun early.
Originally, if he had no cousin and uncle's family, he would have maintained the status quo after he surrendered to Shun. But now, with his cousin, the culprit who had dig the ancestral grave of the Huaiyang Jiedushi family, the Rao family would not have maintained the status quo, but wanted to exchange for real wealth for their descendants.
As expected, Governor Lu gave him a considerable reward to both father and son.
“Give seal.”
Lu Si did not immediately deal with the Wu family, which had an irreconcilable grave with him, but asked Qi Bao to take out the two seals and distribute them to Rao Huanzong and Rao Guozhong.
These two large seals are made of copper and iron.
The bronze seal was made of Dashun Andong Defense Seal, and the iron seal was made of Duwei Seal.
These two large seals were made by Zheng Biao a few days ago by craftsmen. There were more than 40 seals, the highest defense envoy and the lowest division chief.
Twenty-seven have been issued one after another, which has played an inappropriate role in attracting local forces by the Huai Army.
"Thank you, Governor!"
Holding the seal in his hand, the Rao family and his son were secretly happy. Although Rao Guoyi was not appointed as an official, his father was the defensive envoy and his brother was the chief lieutenant, and he was still worried that he would not be able to become a Dashun official.
"My Dashun Dynasty was newly established, which is the new dynasty. From the central government to the local government, there are many vacancies of officials. Therefore, as long as you, father and son, are good at managing the generals, uniting the local government and stabilizing the people, why worry about not being able to rise to the top and glorify the ancestors in the future?"
Lu Si, whose anger was slightly calmed down, looked at the father and son of the Rao family with his hands, and said earnestly: "Don't think that the governor is talking big to you. Do you know that I, Prime Minister Niu, is from a juren, and the military advisor of Song, have no fame. Therefore, I, Dashun, hired people from top to bottom, only talent is the juren, and no matter how you are from a background, as long as you, father and son are really capable, the governor will definitely not bury you."
"Yes, yes, the three officials and sons will work hard for the future, and eliminate the traitors in Andong for the governor, and will never be slackened in the territory of Andong!"
The Rao father and son hurriedly expressed their opinions, and they were already impatient.
I heard that Wu Laoer, who was also appointed as the chief lieutenant in the next town, had already joined forces to attack the landlords and gentry who had not surrendered to Shun under the banner of Dashun, and gained a lot of money.
"That's the best."
Lu Si nodded slightly and suddenly asked Rao Huanzong what he had found from Wu Maocai's residence, such as some rare things.
"I wonder what the governor is referring to?"
Rao Huanzong asked his eldest son Guozhong to search for the residence of Wu Maocai and his wife, but there was nothing rare except for some gold and silver jewelry and Wu Maocai's collection of essays.
Seeing that Rao Huanzong was indeed unaware, Lu Si was puzzled because Sun Wujin had also led people to search, but he could not find the iron plate that originated from his Lu family's ancestral tomb.
When he interrogated Wu Maocai, the old bastard didn't say a word. He asked Sun Bao and replied that the iron plate was held by Wu Maocai, but he had no idea.
"You guys go out first, there is no need for you here for the time being."
Lu Si signaled the Rao family and his son to go down first. The Rao family had no courage to hide the iron card. The iron card was meaningless to them, but it would be valuable to dedicate it to Lu Si.
"The official is leaving!"
Rao Huanzong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't feel guilty when he betrayed his cousin's family. If Governor Lu asked him to kill someone, he would really be uneasy.
Rao Guoyi was also like being pardoned. He was really worried that Governor Lu would ask his Rao family to execute his cousin's uncle's family. If it spreads, his reputation would be bad.
Rao Guozhong was a little disappointed. He wanted to show off in front of the important official Dashun who was equivalent to the position of governor of the Ming Dynasty. This would deepen his impression of the loyalty of the Rao family in the other party and increase capital for his future career in Dashun.
After the Rao father and son withdrew, Sun Wujin quickly came up and whispered: "Governor, why are you going to be the last trial?"
Erlang is anxious. That iron plate is the iron proof of the governor as the emperor, so why did it disappear for no reason? If we could find it out and let the Huai Army take a look, everyone would not be determined to protect the governor as the emperor!
"Forget it, it's better for this thing to disappear, otherwise the central government may suspect me."
Lu Siyi looked relieved. He was eager to know where the brand was to destroy the corpse, rather than showing off everywhere like Sun Erlang's stupid product wanted to be a treasure.
The reason is that the iron brand authentic Pinduoduo product.
At Lu Si's level, what antique counterfeiting techniques can he have?
At the beginning, I was impulsive and thought that I could not come here in vain, so I found an iron plate and engraved the words "The descendants of the Lu family are the emperor."
New, too new, both the iron plate and the handwriting are very new, and it is obvious that people can tell at a glance that it is a fake.
Therefore, Lu Si also self-righteously threw the iron plate into the manure grave and soaked it for more than ten days before taking it out. As a result, after washing it with water, it was still a mess. It looked like it was from last week, not from Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Maybe it tastes a little more.
That's it, when it's just unearthed, it will scare the helping farmers. If you really want to find out what experts can test it, you will immediately appear.
But what Lu Si wants is the ignorant word of mouth of the peasants. Now that the effect has been achieved, the "cultural relics" themselves have no value for existence.
If anyone really finds out the brand, Lu Si will definitely kill someone to silence him.
"oh."
Sun Wujin was very disappointed. He believed that the governor could be the emperor and used various opportunities to create the governor's true dragon atmosphere. For example, the governor had been so magical that he had said since he was a child that he had been surrounded by bees.
Now, the best evidence is gone, you say he can't be angry and not be lost.
