Chapter 12 All the gold and silver treasures were wiped out!
"As soon as I entered this house, I felt something was wrong. The lengths inside and outside were too different!" Zhu Qiwu looked up and down on the wall.
Soon, Zhu Chongba rushed over with Xu Da, Tang He and others, and also brought several pickaxes and hammers.
"Smash the wall!"
Zhu Qiwu said to the wall.
He had been searching for a long time and still couldn't find any secret door mechanism.
In this case, it is a direct violent demolition.
"Okay!"
Xu Da and others picked up pickaxes and hammers and smashed them against the wall.
Wow!
Soon, most of the wall collapsed, revealing a five-foot-wide mezzanine inside.
When the heavy dust slowly dissipated, everyone took a look inside.
"hiss!"
"Grandpa Tian!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Zhu Qiwu even heard several swallowing sounds.
In this exposed mezzanine, there are layers of gold and silver jewelry, and the number alone is ten times as many as those placed outside!
As for the quality of gold and silver, it goes without saying that they are all red gold and silver of high quality!
Even the jade and pearls are much more valuable than those displayed outside.
Zhu Chongba and others rushed in excitedly, grabbing a lot of gold and silver with pairs of thick palms.
"Brother Chongba, we are rich!"
"Chongba, are we dreaming?"
"Brother Chongba, you are so prosperous!"
Xu Da and others were extremely excited and couldn't hide their joy.
"Qiwu, we really admire you!"
Zhu Chongba also laughed and patted Zhu Qiwu on the shoulder.
If Zhu Qiwu hadn't been clever, they would have been fooled by the blindness outside and missed these big opportunities.
"Hey, brother, don't be happy yet, hurry up and transport the gold and silver treasure away, so as to save you a lot of nightmares!" Zhu Qiwu reminded again.
After all, there are only about twenty of them, so if something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome.
"That's right!"
Zhu Chongba quickly calmed down and said to Xu Da and others.
"Stop being silly, load these gold and silver treasures into the car quickly, and then search the rest of the yard!"
Xu Da and others responded quickly.
In the end, it took five mule carts to load all the gold and silver jewelry!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chongba and the others found the granary, silk warehouse, salt warehouse and other warehouses.
The dozens of carts in the Diao family's mule and horse stable are all fully loaded!
There is still a lot of food, cloth, silk, etc. that cannot be packed away.
"Chongba, this food is enough for us to eat for several years!" Xu Da said happily.
"This is only a small part. More grains are piled here. It's such a pity!" Tang He said with regret as he looked at the granary.
The Diao family has thousands of acres of fertile farmland, and the grain harvested over the years has piled up like mountains.
Zhu Chongba and the others only selected some fine new grains to take away, while most of the grains were left intact in the warehouse.
"Chongba, why don't we transport it once and then do two more transports after the truck is unloaded!" Zhou Dexing said.
Many people nodded in unison, feeling very sorry for the food they could not take away.
"No, after we leave, we will never come back." Zhu Chongba categorically refused.
Qiwu had told him long ago that no matter whether they had more luck or less luck, they would never come back for a second time after leaving the Diao family.
If someone else noticed the movement and found out where they were staying, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
When doing great things, the most important thing to avoid is greed!
"Brother, come and see, what are these?"
Just when all the carriages were loaded and ready to set off, Xu Da suddenly discovered another secret room.
Zhu Chongba, Zhu Qiwu and others quickly went over to check.
This is a secret room hidden in the study. It is filled with mahogany boxes. It is obvious that there are treasures hidden in it.
When Zhu Chongba saw it, he immediately said.
"Smash it open!"
Bang bang bang!
There were several muffled sounds in succession, and the copper locks of the mahogany box were broken.
Everyone opened the box with great anticipation.
but.
There was no gold, silver or jewelry inside the box, only piles of bamboo paper with dense black writing on them.
"well!"
Everyone was disappointed.
Zhu Qiwu picked up a few pieces of bamboo paper and realized that these were the Diao family's land deeds, house deeds and IOUs for shady loans!
There are several boxes, all filled with these things.
"Qiwu, what are these?"
Tang He came over and asked.
"House deeds, land deeds and IOUs, these things are enough for the Diao family to be worth those five carts of gold, silver and jewelry!" Zhu Qiwu said with a smile.
"Ah? Is it so valuable?" Tang and the others naturally knew the importance of the property deed.
"However, it's of no use to us. It's all waste paper." Zhu Qiwu threw a few house deeds back into the box.
It does not mean that with these house deeds and land deeds, you will automatically own the corresponding houses and land.
These houses and land must be recognized by the government for the title deed to be valid.
Naturally, the Meng Yuan government would not recognize the property deeds that Zhu Qiwu and the others had snatched, which meant they could not obtain the land.
These land and house deeds are useless.
As for the large number of illegal loan IOUs, they are of little use.
The Diao family has been wiped out by them, so who is going to collect debts?
However, if these things fall into the hands of the government or other powerful people, they can still continue to exploit the people.
"Brother, let's burn all these things!" Zhu Qiwu said.
Only by burning them to ashes can the people who are in debt to the King of Hell take a breather.
"Okay, let's burn these debts to the King of Hell!" Zhu Chongba said.
"Yes, burn these Yama debts!"
Xu Da, Tang He and others all agreed.
Since they want to uphold justice for heaven, they cannot remain silent. Naturally, the louder the noise, the better.
Only by destroying the Diao family and setting off a big fire can the reputation be shown.
Before everyone left, they tied all the female members of the Diao family to the front yard, and then set a fire in the study room in the inner yard, turning all the land deeds, deeds, and IOUs into ashes.
"Qiwu, let's go!"
Tang He urged from the side.
Zhu Chongba and others had already traveled far away in their carriage, and it was Zhu Qiwu who set the fire.
It would be bad if it was released too early and attracted the surrounding neighbors.
After Zhu Qiwu set the fire, he was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.
He grabbed a torch and scrawled a few large characters on the white wall next to the door of Diao's house.
Tang He was illiterate and looked confused.
"Brother, what did you write?" Tang He asked in a low voice.
"The forty thieves will do justice for heaven!"
After Zhu Qiwu said this, he got on his horse and chased Zhu Chongba and the others with Tang He.
The raging fire quickly grew bigger and bigger.
Zhu Qiwu and Tang He ran for several miles on horseback. Looking back, they could still see the fire all over the sky.
Looking at this situation, the Diao family's inner house should not be saved.
