Jinyi Music

Chapter 408
Silian opened it and saw that there was a thick stack of bank notes inside. She took out one by one and looked at them. They were all in denominations of 1000 taels of silver. The stack was so tall that there might not be less than a hundred of them. There are four title deeds, including fields outside the city and two houses in the capital.

Si Lian was startled. There might be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver here. She has never seen so much silver in a short time in her two lifetimes. There is also a mansion in the capital that is priceless. How much money does it cost for a five-entry house in the city?

"You... where did you get so much money..."

As soon as she finished asking, she remembered,
"Is this bad?"

Mou Biao raised his eyebrows proudly, nodded heavily,

"Exactly!"

Silian was a little confused,

"You... are too many!"

Although there are a lot of cases these days, there are many people in the yamen, and not all of the property of the criminal officials confiscated belonged to Jin Yiwei, and more than half of it had to be handed over to the emperor, and all the ministries also had to share a piece of the pie. After that, it was the Beizhen Fusi yamen. Yes, although they would intercept part of the money in private, but according to father-in-law's temperament, they would definitely not intercept much money, so...how did Mou Biao get so much money?
He... He couldn't have tampered with it in private while confiscating other people's property!
If he dared to do this, wouldn't father-in-law cut him with a knife first?
Mou Biao saw what his wife was thinking, and immediately touched her forehead with a smile,
"What are you thinking about, the money here has all passed the Ming road..."

Sit down and repack the silver into the chest,
"Half of the money here is what I deserve, and the other half is rewarded by Your Majesty... As for the fields and houses, I bought the fields at a low price, and the title deed... One room was given to me by my father, and one room was given to me. The room is filial to others..."

This time's matter is related to many high-ranking ladies in the palace. These ladies have brought their natal families to prosperity after entering the palace. In a short period of 20 years, how many powerful and domineering things have been done in it, you can know with your toes that there will be no less. Ruthlessly, Jin Yiwei naturally made a thorough investigation, not to mention the current case, even the case 800 years ago has been found out.

By the way, he doesn't collect all kinds of money, some things will be struck by lightning even if he collects one or two coins, but there are some things, even if it is a mountain of silver, Mou Biao can feel at ease!
"Then giving away such a house, the case must be serious. If you take it... you won't be afraid of getting burned?"

Si Lian always felt that such a big house was not secure, so Mou Biao laughed, kissed her and said,

"Who do you think gave this house?"

Silian shook her head to show she didn't know, Mou Biao said,
"Fan Shaoying sent it!"

"Who is he?"

Si Lian really doesn't know this person, Mou Biao snorted,

"This man is the uncle of the Fifth Prince, who opened a gambling house and a brothel in the capital. Do you still remember the Fortune Casino?"

Why don't you remember, of course Silian remembers, she was surprised when she heard this,
"Then he opened the Lucky Casino?"

Mou Biao nodded, squinted his eyes, and slapped the box with a stack of banknotes in his hand.

"This man... the water is deep..."

Earlier they took a little maid in the palace, and they searched a lot of potions in that maid’s house, but she, a maid, has no man and no favor, so what do you do with the potion? When it came to Fan Guiren, Mou Bin knew that this woman's status in the palace was somewhat different from others, so he immediately reported it to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi's complexion was unprecedentedly gloomy, and he said "check" after a while.

After Mou Bin came out of the palace, he heard that His Majesty dropped five cups in a row, so he sent Li Guang to pass the word on the next day, and the matter of the little palace lady was over, but Fan Shaoying's people came to pick up the people after that, and delivered them at the same time. The most important thing is the title deed of this five-entry house in the inner city.

Mou Biao snorted,

"His money comes easily, we don't take it for nothing!"

In such a situation, if you don't accept it, you will be afraid of it!

Mou Biao told Si Lian about this in detail,

"Although you can keep it at ease, you can take a look at the two houses when you have time, but the fields outside the city have to be taken care of long ago. It seems that it is already spring, and the old master has lost power. People are also panicking, I am afraid that the spring plowing has been delayed!"

Silian nodded,

"Go tomorrow!"

Mou Biao nodded, and when he mentioned the Fifth Prince, Mou Biao thought of something and asked,

"Is that girl Liu Xing honest recently?"

Four lotus wonders,

"She's always been honest!"

"Humph!"

Mu Biao sneered,
"That's not necessarily the case? I thought that girl was the eyeliner sent by the emperor to our house, but I didn't want to investigate further. She actually has a master behind her!"

Si Lian was shocked when she heard this,
"How to say?"

Mou Biao glanced at her,
"Do you know why Huang Ying and the third brother have a good relationship, and there are her hands and feet in it!"

So I told the hidden story of the previous incident,
"... I don't know if she intentionally harmed Huang Ying, but the medicines on her body are not only unavailable outside, but also rare in the palace. Yes, that night Mama Wang brought her to the yamen for me. I didn't use torture, but she recruited after some frightening... But she played tricks and said that the emperor sent her to Mou's mansion Eyeliner, if you find out about disobedience, report it immediately..."

Speaking of this, Mou Biao narrowed his eyes and sneered,

"She could have fooled me like this. When I asked her about the origin of those things, she only said that they were given by people in the palace, and when she asked which palace and who it was from, she hesitated to say anything. Now... and the paper scroll in the silver bracelet she was wearing was full of code words, she just thought we couldn't break it out, I handed this thing over to someone, and it broke out in half an hour... ...It was she who communicated the news of the mansion with the outsiders, but she has been doing rough work since she entered the mansion, and she couldn't get much information..."

Afterwards, Mou Biao frightened her again, but he would not tell Si Lian about the matter of stripping people naked and throwing them into a cell full of men. Biaoyuan was planning to deal with her silently, but just looking at her face, he suddenly changed his mind and said back to Mama Wang,

"You said...she got the medicine from Wang Erhu?"

Wang's mother nodded, talking about Wang Erhu, who has been in Mou's mansion for so many days, and has become a gourd with a jagged beak. He is not close to others, and rarely talks to others. Everyone in the mansion knows that he has become a lonely and weird person after he survived a catastrophe. Only Mou Biao knows that this kid is holding something in his heart. Son, you want to be a man with your tail between your legs!
Mother Wang and the others also thought of some ways, but they couldn't induce the boy to open his mouth. They didn't expect him to treat Liu Xing very differently. Mou Biao squinted his eyes, stroked his chin for a while, and said with a laugh,
"Then...let this girl live for a while longer!"

So Liu Xing went back to the Mou Mansion that night, and was still her girl in the quiet courtyard, only going to see Wang Erhu once every two or three days, sometimes helping with sewing, sometimes sending some soup...

"You want Liu Xing to play him up?"

Mou Biao smiled and said,

"Both left and right do this. Doing things for my eighth master will not only save her life, but if she does well, there may be a good marriage waiting for her. Why not do it?"

It's just a beauty trick!

Si Lian thought of Wang Erhu's appearance, and her severed fingers and toes. With Liu Xing's talent, this marriage is really not good, but given her current situation, this is already the best!
After Mu Biao came back, he had another three days off. On the second day, the young couple went out of the city in a carriage to see the newly harvested fertile fields. As expected by Mou Biao, the masters lost their power and the farm was taken over by the Yamen. , but the people from the yamen came, just took over the accounting, and didn't care about the farming, and I don't know whose hands the field will fall into?
As a result, many tenants in the village were panic-stricken and had no intention of working, and some previous village leaders saw that the situation was not good, took the opportunity to take the money and fled. They are better off, but when Zhuangzi voted under the door of the master's house, the peasants whose whole family is slaves will be miserable. Just when they don't know what the future will be, Mou Biao and his wife came, and they brought along with them the capable stewards of Mou's house .

The steward dealt with common affairs all the year round, he had already encountered many such things, so he immediately called people together, made a roll call, set up a roster, and registered the size of the land cultivated by each household in the village , the number of livestock, farm tools, etc., and it is too late for spring plowing and planting this year, what can be planted now to recover the losses as much as possible. It is to let go of the heart.

Their farming family only depends on the sky for food, and they don't care about the affairs of the masters above. As long as there is land to grow, who cares who the master is?

Mou Biao and Silian stayed outside the city for a day, and went to see the two houses on the second day. One was near Maoer Hutong. Not far from the yamen, there is a large five-entry house, which is very elegant and exquisite, only far away from the Mou Mansion and Beizhen Fusi. While looking at the house, Mou Biao asked Si Lian,

"Look at it, how to deal with these two houses?"

Silian Shen Ling hesitated for a while and said,
"The big one, why not find a way to rent it out, the small one..."

She hesitated for a while,
"I want... to stay by myself..."

Mou Biao laughed when he heard this,

"Even if you want to stop, just say it straight, why are you hesitating...what can you say to me?"

Silian blushed and replied,

"My brothers are not separated, I'm afraid it's not good for us to come out and live..."
