Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 42

The death of Sun Long, the tax envoy, and fifty or so local rogues under him was a lot quieter in Xuanmiaoguan, because no one caught the hung up man and whipped it hard, and no one dragged the tied up woman to play with, everyone naturally Does not howl for no reason.

However, in the depths of the Xuanmiao Temple, there seemed to be someone shouting loudly in the palace where Sun Long used to live.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, if someone comes, it will be over."

Zhang Xin, the tax official, was leading two gangsters under his command to move money onto the carriage.

When Sun Long went to the porcelain shop to save people, he left these three people watching in the Xuanmiao Temple, and when they received the news that Sun Long and others were killed, the first thing they thought of was to find a carriage and pull money .

As a result, out of greed, they each found a carriage.

It is definitely not a problem to carry more than 3 taels of silver in a three-liang carriage. The problem is that the silver is not so heavy, and a box is at least a hundred catties. At the beginning, they could carry a box each, and ran a few times back and forth. After that, only two people could carry it.

More than 3 taels, that's more than 30 boxes, and I don't know when it will be moved.

Zhang Xin was urging his two little brothers there, suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes from the gate of Xuanmiao Temple, it must be someone coming!
In desperation, he could only take his two younger brothers and drive three carriages that were not full, and quickly slipped away through the side door.

No matter how much money you steal, you have to spend your life.

You know, the bad things he did in the past are enough to kill him eight times out of ten times. If he is caught stealing money again, it would be considered polite not to skin him.

After Taichang brought everyone into the Xuanmiao Temple, he was really shocked by the tragic scene inside. It was one thing to hear people say it, but another thing to see it with his own eyes. Dozens of people were hung everywhere like smoked bacon. Yes, and they were all bloodied and dying, and anyone who saw it would be a little bit unbearable.

Fortunately, he didn't let Wu Wan'er get out of the car, otherwise, the little girl would be terrified again.

He frowned and glanced around, then couldn't help sighing: "Oh, let's put these people down first, be careful, don't let people fall to their heads and die."

Under such circumstances, he really wasn't in the mood to look for money, and if he didn't save everyone, he would feel uncomfortable!
Originally, he thought it would be troublesome to find money, after all, Sun Long was unlikely to put tens of millions of taels of silver outside.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei came to report soon, and Sun Long's money was found.

It turned out that Zhang Xin didn't close the door at all when he left, and Sun Long really piled up the money by the wall of the hall where he slept.

Jin Yiwei was searching everywhere to rescue the hanged person, but he saw it as soon as he ran in.

In fact, Sun Long didn't want to put the money outside, but he didn't build the Mysterious Temple. There were no secret rooms and partitions inside. If he invited someone to build it, he was afraid that someone would leak the news, so he simply I chose a big hall, put the bed inside, and then piled all the silver boxes on the four walls.

To be honest, the reason why he hangs people everywhere is also to intimidate him.

If anyone dares to try to steal his money, there will be role models on the beams, corridors, and tree branches!

If he didn't die, no one would dare to steal his money.

Now, of course, it all belongs to the current emperor.

Standing in the middle of the hall, Taichang frowned slightly as he looked at the densely packed silver boxes around him.

This is at least a million taels of silver!

In other words, he had to find at least a hundred carriages to pull the money.

The carriage is not a problem, as long as you have money, buying more than 100 carriages is only such a big deal, the problem is that he only brings more than 50 people with him at the moment, and it is impossible for one person to drive two carriages.

Is it necessary to transfer people from Jinling City?

He really didn't dare to take this risk, because once exposed, he couldn't bear the thousands of troops of Suzhou Wei.

You know, it will take at least a few days to mobilize people to come over, but they can make a round trip in a day if they send an urgent message within eight hundred miles.

Moreover, the garrison guards of Suzhou Guards had obviously joined forces with the tax envoy Sun Long. Once they received orders from the higher-ups, they would probably do it.

That is to say, tomorrow morning, he must leave, if he does not leave, he may be in danger.

How did he know that Chen Yirui, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, had received the order a long time ago, and he was already ready to do it in the evening!

He was standing there thinking about how to take the money away, when Ge Cheng suddenly walked in and respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be nothing else going on here for the time being, I want to go back and get some things, I wonder if it's possible."

At this moment, Ge Cheng had already assumed the false title of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he could be regarded as a fifth-rank military post, but he had to go back to give him the waist badge and robes.

Taichang heard the words, nodded slightly and said: "Well, can the family make arrangements, if not, bring them here and go together."

Ge Cheng quickly shook his head and said: "There is no need to arrange this. I was ready to sacrifice my life for righteousness. Naturally, I have already arranged for my family. I just want to go back and get a change of clothes and weapons."

Self-righteousness!

By the way, this Ge Cheng is the recognized leader of Zhihu and Jihu in Suzhou. Can he call some reliable people to help?
Taichang immediately pointed to the silver boxes around him and said: "As you have seen, there are at least a million taels of silver here, and there must be no more than a hundred carriages to hold it, and I only brought fifty brocade guards, which is not enough manpower at all." , can you find some reliable people to help? As long as they can help pull it to the pier by the Yangtze River, it will be fine."

Ge Cheng said without hesitation: "This is a trivial matter. Most of the weaving households and machine households in Suzhou City are reliable. It is no problem for Weichen to call 2000 people to help. Your Majesty, how many people do you think is appropriate to call to help?"

That's it for now.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "More than a hundred people are enough, and there are many people with mixed hands. After all, this is not a little money. Most people can't help itching. Why don't you take the money outside and let them I helped buy more than 100 carriages, and I will bring them here tomorrow morning."

Ge Cheng cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

After speaking, he respectfully backed out.

Not long after Ge Cheng left, Luo Yangxing ran in again and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the imprisoned women have also been found, and there are dozens of them, but they were not injured, but their complexion is not very good."

Alas, what woman could bear such humiliation these days!
He can't help with this matter.

Taichang thought for a while, then pointed to the silver box on the ground and sighed slightly: "You carry the silver box and give them ten taels each, and besides, let those women take their men back, we can't smoke at the moment." Send people out to send people away."

When Luo Yangxing heard the words, he quickly cupped his hands and said "Zunzhi", then he picked up a box of silver and pushed it out.

Things here seem to be almost arranged, but Taichang frowned again, because he thought of Sun Zhixie, the magistrate of Suzhou.

Logically speaking, even if Sun Zhixie was greedy for some money, he would not have to die for the crime. The problem is that he killed his son, and he was not sure if he was with the gang in Jinling City. , if it is, then it will be troublesome.

Taichang was considering whether to get rid of this hidden danger, when Ge Cheng suddenly turned into a phantom and rushed in with a "whoosh", cupped his hands and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good, my minister just heard that those weavers and machine owners It is said that all the city gates in Suzhou have been blocked by garrison guards, and hundreds of garrison guards are gathering outside the magistrate's yamen to wait for orders.

Ah!
Hearing this, Taichang's expression changed slightly.

Alas, I was careless, I should have left when I killed Sun Long and the others, how could his safety be as important as the more than 100 million taels of silver!
