The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 12 Silver Brick
As soon as Chang Feng got his hands on the second green brick, he felt that the weight was wrong!too heavy!
Chang Feng threw the blue brick in his hand towards the wall of the well.

"Crack!" The blue brick didn't break in two, but only a corner, revealing a silvery white color.

Green bricks are fired from clay.Obviously, Cai Zhong wrapped clay on the outside of the silver bricks, fired them into blue bricks, and set them into the well wall!
Chang Feng guessed.There are about 800 yuan blue bricks on the surrounding walls of the well.There should be some ordinary green bricks inside, and some silver bricks inside!

Fatty Xu heard Chang Feng's voice of "the sky never stops me", and hurriedly shouted to the bottom of the well, "What's wrong?"

Chang Feng said: "I found the silver. Pull me up!"

He got out of the well, and someone brought a small hammer. After smashing the blue brick, there was a solid silver brick inside!It weighs 20 taels.

Chang Feng ordered one of his subordinates: "Hurry up and go down the well in turn, dig out all the blue bricks on the wall of the well, put them directly in the bucket and hang them up."

Captain Shi was the first to go down the well.

One piece after another, blue bricks were brought up.Chang Feng was busy at the edge of the well smashing the green bricks with a small hammer to find the silver bricks.

Basically, one out of every three blue bricks has the wrong weight, and the silver bricks inside will be exposed after being smashed.

It's getting closer and closer to the unitary hour.Beads of sweat formed on Chang Feng's forehead.

The number of silver bricks is also slowly rising.Ten yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan
Two minutes before the deadline, all the blue bricks in the dry well were removed and smashed into pieces.

The white silver bricks were also piled up in piles.

Fatty Xu counted: "A total of 230 silver bricks were found. The total weight is about 600 taels."

Chang Feng called the accounting captain: "Report the total!"

The accounting officer unfolded the account book: "Add the 600 taels of silver. The four items of gold, silver, copper coins, and treasure banknotes confiscated by the Cai Mansion are 200 taels of silver in total."

Chang Feng lay limp by the well as if his whole body strength had been drained by someone.

The future is preserved, and there is no need to be sent to Datong!

Moreover, if this job is done well, it is tantamount to contributing to the abolition of the imperial concubine's party.The bosses will definitely give him a promotion.

Fatty Xu smiled and said, "Come on! Tangtang doesn't need me to take care of you anymore. Master Chang, I congratulate you in advance on your promotion and fortune!"

Chang Feng rubbed his legs and stood up.He patted the dust all over his body and straightened his clothes: "Let's go. Go to the gate of the mansion. The envoy Zhu Zhen should be here soon, let's go to greet him."

Standing at the gate of the mansion.Chang Feng imagined the future complacently.

As long as no major mistakes are made, the word "trial" will be erased after one year according to the rules, and it will officially become a hundred households.

Hundred households can be equipped with embroidered spring knives.At that time, he became a mid-level official of Jinyiwei.

Not to mention, the factory guards are all controlled by the imperial concubine party.This time, he put so much effort into saving the waste, maybe Duke Shang and Commander Wan will remember his name!
You know, Xu Baihu from Beizhen Fusi bribed Zhu Ji with 400 taels of silver a while ago.Just to serve tea while Commander Wan and Eunuch Shang of Dongchang played games.

In the end, Commander Wan didn't even remember his name.

At this moment, a burst of yellow dust rose from the west of Cai's mansion!
Zhu Ji did not serve as an official sedan chair, but rode a horse as a top horse to clear the way.

A hundred cavalry followed.Behind them were two hundred Jinyi guards trotting all the way.

When high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty travel, they pay attention to pushing the horse and clearing the way.The rider on top of the horse is generally the confidant of the official.

Chang Feng secretly said: Today Zhu Zhen Fu envoy actually became a top horse?It seems that Commander Wan and Father Shang of Dongchang are here in person!

Sure enough, behind the cavalry and warriors, followed by two official sedan chairs.

One top lifts eight, and one top lifts six.

On both sides of the eight sedan chairs, there are special people holding official cards.The official plate on the left reads "Eunuch in the Hand of the Superintendent of Rites", and the official plate on the right reads "Eunuch in charge of the Imperial Envoy Governor Dongchang Official School".

On both sides of the six sedan chairs, there are also official cards.The official plate on the left reads "Commander of Jinyiwei ordered by the imperial court", and the official plate on the right reads "Emperor Xin'anbo".

Fatty Xu was surprised: "Duke Shang and Commander Wan have arrived?"

Chang Feng hastily ordered his subordinates: "Kneel down to meet the governor, Commander!"

Hula la, the men of Jinyiwei and the soldiers of Wucheng Bingma Si knelt together.

Not long after, two official sedan chairs stopped in front of the Cai Mansion.

On the eighth sedan chair, a white-faced, beardless eunuch with a thin body, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, stepped down.

This person is the number one figure in the Rites Supervisor, who oversees Shang Ming, the inner minister of the East Factory.

Shang Ming, a man with mixed reputations.No one can tell whether he is a good guy or a bad guy.

When he supervised the East Factory, the first thing he did was to compile a list of wealthy households inside and outside the capital.

Then, the dignified insider, started a business that was unrecognizable—kidnapping!
He asked his subordinates to arrest more than 600 wealthy households into the East Factory according to the list.I don't beat you, and I don't scold you.As long as you write a letter and let the family redeem the person with money.

The ransom is usually one-tenth of the property of each rich family, so you don't have to hurt your muscles and bones, just do what you want.Seeing the ransom, there was no second word, and he was released immediately.

The livelihood of related bandits in Ming Dynasty.It stands to reason that Shang Ming should be notorious and notorious.

Ke Shangming used the ransom money from wealthy households to build nursing homes for the lonely and widowed elderly near Gyeonggi; build free schools for the children of poor families; build free clinics for patients who can't afford to see a doctor; open porridge farms for the hungry.
Take ill-gotten gains and do righteous deeds.

People in Gyeonggi call him "Shang En Gong".It is said that he is a court knight who robs the rich and helps the poor.

There is also a saying.This person is both greedy for money and fame.After extorting rich people, half of the money they got was good deeds, and the other half was put into their own pockets.This is called fame and fortune.

The Duke Shang Ming in front of Chang Feng is such a complicated person.

People, how can there be black and white?
On the six-carried sedan chair, a big-armed, round-waisted martial artist in his fifties stepped down.This person is the commander of Jin Yiwei, Wantong.

Wantong is the second younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui, the master of the harem.Jinghua is famous for being vicious and vicious.

In name, the commander of Jinyiwei was held hostage by the governor of the East Factory.But with Concubine Wan Gui's relationship, Wantong and Shang Ming are equal in status.

The two can be called the right arm of Concubine Wan Gui.

Shang Ming is a famous smiling tiger in the court.He smiled all over his face: "Forget it, everyone get up! Who is in charge of the search of Cai Zhong's mansion?"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Subordinate Jinyiwei North Town Fusi General Banner Chang Feng, pay homage to Duke Du."

When he mentioned the word "changfeng", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

As long as the giants of the East Factory remembered his name, he was qualified to spend ten years in Beizhen Fusi.

Shang Ming asked: "How much silver was copied in total?"

Chang Feng replied: "Go back to the governor. I copied out gold, silver, copper coins, and precious banknotes, and the total was 200 taels of silver. Antique calligraphy and paintings, land and real estate contracts, domestic prostitutes, etc. are worthless."

Shang Ming pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Cai Zhong is really the biggest beetle in our Chenghua Dynasty! He has a good way of making money!"

"His family wealth is 200 taels. It's more than the emperor's internal storage."

"More than 3 taels of silver. How many widows and widows can be relieved, and how many poor children can be sent to school?"

Chang Feng said: "What the governor said is very true."

Shang Ming looked at Chang Feng with a full smile: "What is Chang Feng?"

Zhu Ji on the side reminded: "This young man is called Chang Feng."

Shang Ming nodded: "Chang Feng. You can do your job well."

"Although I didn't remember your name before, I knew you. You were also responsible for copying the mansion of the traitor Wang Zhi last year, right?"

"Your flying fish suit is because of your meritorious service in copying Wang Zhi's family, and I reward you out of the ordinary."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Thank you, Dugong, for your compliment."

Shang Ming said with a smile: "You are responsible for the downfall of the West Factory. You are a shrewd and capable person with a bright future."

Wang Zhi, Shang Ming's greatest enemy ever.

Although both belong to Wan Guifei's party.However, one is in charge of the east factory and the other is in charge of the newly established west factory.

Last year, Shang Ming joined forces with foreign ministers to overthrow Wang Zhi, and the West Factory was also revoked.Wang Zhi himself was dispatched to Sixiang, Xiaoling, Nanjing.

Chang Feng said respectfully: "The governor is overrated. The subordinates are just doing their job."
