Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 40 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
Zhou Kui's son came out after hearing the commotion. When he saw this scene, he was furious. He stopped in front of the soldiers and shouted angrily: "Which yamen are you from? Do you know where this place is? You will die if you break in like this." ?”

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the eunuch Gao Ding and general He Zhen who were surrounded by soldiers from behind.

He didn't know He Zhen, but Gao Ding was an old acquaintance.

Suddenly, he pointed at Gaoding and shouted loudly: "Gaoding, what's going on? Are you trying to rebel? You dare to lead troops into my Jiading uncle's house? My sister is the current queen, and I am my nephew. It’s the prince, and you ate them all?”

When Gao Ding heard this, he immediately shouted coldly: "Now do you think of the queen and the prince? In accordance with the decree of Lord Long Live, I want to verify whether Jiading Bo has deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. Search!"

Zhou Kui's son would not believe that the emperor would touch his home, and immediately shouted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

If it is irresponsible, the emperor may not give the certificate. After all, if the money cannot be found, it will be difficult for the emperor to end it.

However, the current Emperor Chongzhen would not be like this. He had already anticipated what would happen at the Great Court Meeting, so he checked and verified the decree and sent a copy to each of the leading chamberlains before the Great Court Meeting. .

However, even if Gaoding came up with the emperor's will, Zhou Kui's son still refused to believe it and shouted hysterically: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

His sister is the current queen, and his nephew is the current prince. Who else in the Ming Dynasty can be as prominent as them?Even those hereditary princes were polite to people who saw his home. How could the emperor want to raid his home?
However, no matter how much he shouted or how much he didn't believe it, he couldn't stop He Zhen from leading his men to occupy the entire Jiading Uncle's Mansion, and then started to search it.

Everyone, including Zhou Kui's wife, concubine, son, daughter-in-law and others, rushed to the yard to take custody.

Zhou Kui's family really couldn't believe that such a day would come. Even if this iron fist hit them, it still felt very unrealistic.But facing the heavily armed soldiers, he didn't have the guts to resist.

In this era, the silver is hidden in secret rooms or cellars, and it cannot be hidden in different banks under various names like in later generations.In the face of experienced veterans, it is not that difficult to find hidden silver.

Not to mention, Jiading Uncle Mansion has swallowed up countless profitable shops. The monthly profits have to be handed over to Jiading Uncle Mansion. The amount of money is so heavy that it is impossible for Zhou Kui and his son to carry it. Naturally, there are His confidants helped.

After interrogation, questioning and investigation, the bank vault of Jiading Bo Mansion was basically found.

According to records, Li Zicheng copied as much as 53 taels of cash from the Jiading Bo Mansion.At this time, the bank vault was opened, and the soldiers who participated in the raid were dumbfounded by the amount of silver stored in the Jiading residence.

These people were all involved in ransacking the houses of Wang Zhixin and others yesterday.Originally, they thought it was the most money they had ever seen in their lives.Unexpectedly, today they saw several times as much money as yesterday, which really shocked them to the extreme.

Gao Ding looked at the gold and silver jewelry. After he came to his senses, he screamed angrily and shouted: "In the Jinluan Palace, Uncle Jiading dared to tell Long Live Lord that he had no money left and could only collect 100 taels! What a shame! It makes our family angry!"

This is the Queen's biological father and the Prince's biological grandfather. He is obviously so rich, but when the Ming Dynasty is in crisis, he still has nothing to lose!How could he say it in the Jinluan Palace?Even though Gao Ding was in the palace and thought he had cultivated the city deeply enough to hide his joy and anger, at this moment, he still couldn't help but get angry!

When many soldiers and generals heard this and saw the wealth, their faces were full of anger, and they wanted to tear these Zhou family members apart!
Gao Ding said sternly: "Our family has known for a long time that we dare to greedy even the money given by the Queen. This money from the Jiading Uncle Mansion is absolutely indispensable!"

He suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered loudly: "Immediately count, make some estimates, and we will report the results as soon as possible. The Jiading Uncle's Mansion has been sealed, everyone is detained, and the property is transported to the Forbidden City!"

He Zhen and his men immediately agreed. They knew that these belongings would be turned into military pay. At least for a long time in the future, they would no longer have to worry about military pay and supplies.

At the same time, at the Chengguo Palace, Wang Chengen led the factory guards and Wei Shizhen's men to the door.

What was a little different from Jiading Bo's Mansion was that upon seeing the movement at the door, twenty or thirty servants from Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion immediately came out and blocked the door.The housekeeper stood at the front. Although he was also panicked, he could still maintain his composure and asked: "What crime did my father-in-law commit? As for the fact that he wants to lead troops?"

Zhu Chunchen's son also rushed out after hearing the sound, and even shouted angrily: "Are you allowed to mess with Chengguo Duke's Mansion? Who dares to enter and try? The mansion is enshrined in the iron book of alchemy given by Emperor Chengzu!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen sneered and said: "Gong Chengguo deceived you in the Jinluan Palace. Our family came here to verify the order and clear Duke Cheng's name. Anyone who dares to resist the order will be treated as a treasonous person and will not be killed." , search our house!"

After hearing this, Wei Shizhen naturally did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately advanced with swords and guns drawn.

There are many strong servants coming to Duke Chengguo's mansion, most of them are children of the family in the mansion. With the accumulation of generations, the background is definitely not comparable to that of Jiading Duke's mansion.

But what about that?
As soon as Wang Chengen opened his mouth, he was either deceiving the emperor or disobeying the emperor's orders. He was regarded as treason. No matter what the crime was, these people who didn't know what was going on would not dare to accept it!
In fact, if Cheng Guo Gongfu really had the talents to deal with such a scenario, it is estimated that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be so incompetent that he only wanted to keep his glory and wealth and lick Li Zicheng.After all, they are not fools, and the risk of licking Li Zicheng must be very high.

Facing the heavily armed soldiers advancing with swords and guns, the people in Duke Cheng's mansion could not bear the pressure at all, and were eventually forced to a corner of the courtyard.Afterwards, he was beaten and kicked by the soldiers, and all those who threatened him were tied up with ropes.

Chengguo Gongfu covers an extremely large area and has an even larger population.Even if Wei Shizhen brought over a thousand people, he could only control the Duke Cheng's mansion.Someone took advantage of the chaos to climb over the wall and get out, but they didn't care.

It is relatively difficult to find a treasury in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion, not only because it occupies a very large area, but also because the Chengguo Duke's Mansion has been in business for hundreds of years, and the domestic slaves are more expensive than those in the Jiading County Duke's Mansion. loyalty.

The same is true, here Wang Chengen brought the veterans from the factory guard to personally take charge.

It took about an hour to find a secret room and two bank vaults in the Chengguo Palace.When Wang Chengen heard the news and saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.I had prepared some things originally, but now it seems that they are no longer needed.
