He Huchen, Shi Zhengheng, another leader of Long Jinwei, and the chief of the execution room of Shuntian Prefecture were cleaning the house of this guy who had been the deputy envoy of Tongcang for nine years.
"Back to your lord, my subordinates separated several servants and concubines in his family for interrogation. Finally, two servants and one concubine each confessed that there should be a darkroom and cellar under the stable near the back garden and the left wing." I couldn't bear it.
He licked his lips, his face full of contentment, and Fanzi, who came to report, couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Shi Zhengheng glanced at He Huchen who was looking around, coughed lightly and said, "Master He, what do you think?"
He Huchen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the other party was going to discuss with him. He weighed it in his mind, and remembered Feng Ziying's instructions before leaving, and nodded: "Then let's dig, I will arrange for a few people to cooperate. After starting, you and I
The two of them will deal with it together."
Shi Zhengheng nodded. It seems that this job is not that simple. This guerrilla master seems to be someone who wants to focus on his career and is not willing to teach others.
But it doesn't matter. Just because he doesn't want to get rich himself doesn't mean that he wants to prevent others from getting rich. Judging from his posture, it seems that he should have understood what he meant and didn't refuse. That's good.
Soon the policemen and sergeants became restless. No one was stupid about the work of digging the back garden and stables. Even the soldiers in the Beijing camp knew that suddenly having to dig underground during such a search meant that
What, even if they may not have much meat on them, the sensory stimulation alone is enough to make people's blood boil.
He Huchen and Shi Zhengheng returned to the room. Here, the deputy envoy's concubines had a lot of sons and daughters. They were afraid that there were not more than ten people. Shi Zhengheng snorted: "You have all seen it, you don't want to say it."
, it doesn’t mean that they don’t say it, I will give you another chance, take the initiative to say it now, I will record it in the file, and it can be regarded as a meritorious performance. Your father is hopeless, but it does not mean that they will all be buried with him.
Everyone has to live, think about it for yourself, come and take them down separately, I believe there are always smart people in the front, if those who are behind are criticized by others, it will be embarrassing..."
This kind of trick and skill is extremely easy for the people of Longjingwei. There will definitely not be a monolithic relationship between the legitimate sons and the concubines. When people like servants and concubines see that the big tree has fallen, they still have to plan for the future.
The window effect can also be reflected here.
As expected, when it was revealed that the gardens and stable cellars were being excavated, concubines and concubines were soon willing to report more hiding places for their property.
"We know the house in San Tiao Hutong you mentioned. Isn't it right next to the old Zhuji Oil Shop at the end of the alley? Unfortunately, someone told you about it before you did. This doesn't count. You can return it later..., don't
I hope that only you know that others don’t know that your father has three legitimate sons and seven concubines. Who do you think is the oldest? In the few years that your mother has been with him, has there been no news at all? Please advise your mother, the husband and wife are the same.
Birds in the forest fly away when disaster strikes. Your mother is just a concubine. She is old and beautiful. Your father is the only one responsible for this case. Why don't you think about it for your mother and yourself..."
All kinds of rhetoric and persuasion were constantly updated among the family members and servants. He Huchen looked at the time impatiently. The commander-in-chief named Shi was racing against time to dig out some results as soon as possible. He also understood that on the one hand, he had to
I have an explanation for you, but on the other hand, I naturally want to strike first and gain some traction, which can be seen from my previous deliberate efforts to please myself.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. He Huchen was a little disdainful, but he could accept it. Mr. Feng specifically explained that as long as it was not excessive, it was Long Jinwei's practice to divide the water appropriately.
In two hours, three cellars were dug out, and two other mansions were also revealed. It is estimated that there should be some gains there, but that has nothing to do with this group. Who will dig deeper in the future?
It's not their turn to think.
However, the opening of three cellars in the main house still made He Huchen, Shi Zhengheng and others take a breath of cold air.
For Shi Zhengheng, it was not that he had never seen a big scene of confiscation of a house. To say that the Deputy Ambassador of Tongcang was nothing, he was just a ninth-grade character.
There were several third- and fourth-grade officials who had their homes confiscated by him, and there were countless fifth- and sixth-grade officials. But a ninth-grade character was actually richer than some third- and fourth-grade officials. He had to look at him with admiration.
I couldn't help but smack my lips at the amount of oil and water in Tongcang.
No wonder he wants to attack this group of people. If it were him, it wouldn't be easy for anyone. He's just a deputy, but it's enough to drive people crazy.
He Huchen looked at the dug stone door with a complicated expression. The things inside were being moved out one by one and counted. These were the officials of the Zhou Dynasty. In three years, the magistrate had not exchanged one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
The executioner's clerk had already started sharpening his ink and pen to prepare notes.
"One hundred and ninety-two pieces of Hangzhou silk of various colors, including forty-six pieces of plain falling flower brocade with moiré patterns, and thirty-two pieces of wide flame brocade with lotus and lotus patterns,..."
He Huchen couldn't help but take a breath. He wasn't born into a wealthy family and didn't have much idea about these things. Looking at Shi Zhengheng's gasping posture next to him, he thought they were probably worth a lot. He asked with a crooked mouth, "Master Shi,
How much are these items worth?”
"Hey, Mr. He, you asked the right person. The cloud pattern brocade in the front is nothing more than one or twenty taels of silver a piece, but the flame brocade in the back is not that simple. It belongs to Xu Ji from Hangzhou.
There is a quota every year. Even in the palace, this thing is commonly used. It is only a few thousand horses a year. This guy can actually catch thirty-two horses and sell them. No matter how much one horse costs two to three hundred.
Two silver coins, right?"
He Huchen's eyes almost bulged. He had also bought silk and satin for his concubine. He roughly knew the market price. An ordinary piece of brocade in the market only cost a few taels of silver. How come the most common items here cost only one or two taels of silver?
Ten taels? Hundreds of taels of silk and satin. Can you soar in the daytime if you put this thing on?
Seeing He Huchen's expression of disbelief, Shi Zhengheng was also laughing at this Beijing bumpkin in his heart, but on the surface he still had a serious face: "Master He, you don't know something. This ordinary silk satin only costs three to five taels of silver, but it can make
Do you think the things that people hide in cellars are bargains? You see, there are also special craftsmanship to prevent moisture and insects, but you can see that this cellar cannot be made without a few hundred taels of silver..."
He Huchen was filled with emotion and could only nod.
"One hundred and sixteen horseshoe red gold ingots, including fifty-two and thirty-two, twenty-two and eighty-four,..."
This thing is easy to estimate. The price of pure gold is more than 3,000 taels, and if converted into silver, it is more than 3,000 taels. He Huchen could only calculate the best value.
"One hundred and twenty gold ingots, five taels each,..."
He Huchen's eyes fell on it. Even the shape was the same. Either it was specially smelted and customized by himself in the gold shop, or someone specially gave it as a gift, with six hundred taels of gold and six thousand silver.
"There are seventy-six pearls in the lake, including nineteen large black pearls..."
He Huchen looked at Shi Zhengheng again, and Shi Zhengheng couldn't help but frown. It's hard to estimate the price of this black pearl, it depends on how full the market is.
But looking at the size and gloss, each one should cost more than 300 taels. Even ordinary lake beads are between 10 taels and 20 each. And the dozens of lake beads in front of you are obviously top-grade, each one
The price is at least thirty taels of silver.
"Sixty-five pieces of Western scarlet woolen cloth,..."
"Two Shanshui Jade Screens,..."
"Ivory whale bone fan with three handles,..."
"One thousand, eight hundred and sixty-five silver ingots, including 250 50-tael silver ingots, 700 30-tael silver ingots, and 800 20-tael silver ingots..."
He Huchen became a little numb to the boring numbers and splendid things. He had never seen many things before, or even heard of them. There were also many things that came from Xiyi, and even if he saw them, he would not know them.
What is the use of.
But what is certain is that they are all worth a lot of money. If Lin Lin finally gets it, he will probably be pawned for less than 100,000 yuan.
It would be fine if he was a third- and fourth-grade official, but this guy is a ninth-grade official. How could he make so much money?
Even Shi Zhengheng couldn't help sighing and sighing. This was an eye-opener. Originally, it would have been a bit of a loss to investigate and deal with a ninth-grade official, but after looking at it, he immediately felt that it was worth it.
He made a rough estimate, not to mention other items, but the two items of gold and silver were worth five to sixty thousand taels. If you add various miscellaneous items, these would be worth another two to thirty thousand taels of silver. If you add these houses
Counting it all together, it is definitely more than enough for one hundred thousand taels of property.
No wonder he has been the deputy ambassador of Tongcang for so many years and has not moved away. Even if he cannot be promoted to ambassador, he will not leave if he gets another promotion. He still has to spend money to stay in his current position. Even if he is replaced, he would not be willing to leave.
It’s no wonder that Master Feng and Master Zhao specifically warned this guy is a big fish and he must not escape.
Even the emperor would be tempted to pay one hundred thousand to two families, right? Shi Zhengheng thought maliciously.
Even if the others don't have this guy's net worth, there are at least a few who are similar to this guy. Adding in the roles of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, isn't Shuntian Mansion going to have a bumper harvest this time?
So how should we share the profits among our brothers this time? Shi Zhengheng couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he thought of this. Even if he had to hand it in, everyone was so busy and stayed up late that they had to think about it a little bit, right?
Let's make a careful calculation with Mr. Zhao, and talk to Mr. Feng about it.
