The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 154 Take the crowd to protect yourself?I will secret! ([-]-character chapter)
Yang Mo hurried back to the mansion.Mother Yang was lying on the couch, already out of breath.

Yang Mo held his mother's hand: "I'm a mother!"

Suddenly, he found that his mother's hands were still warm, and he asked the doctor next to him, "Why are my mother's hands still hot?"

The doctor said: "The old lady of your mansion will be gone just now, and the remaining warmth has not dissipated."

Yang Mo then questioned Mother Yang's personal servant girl: "What's the matter? How can a good person be gone?"

The little maid actually knew that the death of the old lady was related to the elixir given by the unscrupulous Taoist priest.

However, the little maid was afraid that she would be implicated if she told the truth, so she was punished by Yang Mo.

She simply said: "My lord, the slaves don't know either. The old lady is still fine after lunch, so she went out for a walk as usual. When she came back, she was out of breath."

At this moment, Taoist Zhang led several Taoist priests and monks into Yang's mansion.

The housekeeper of the Yang family asked, "What do you do?"

Daoist Zhang said: "Uncle Shou Ning heard that the old lady of your mansion passed away, so let us do Taoist rituals and the water and land ashram."

Yang's mother had just died, and the Yang family was in chaos.No one doubted the group of monks and priests who came to the door.

Yang Moshou cried loudly for his mother.Then he ordered people to buy shrouds, coffins, paper figurines, horses and cranes, and a complete set of funeral paraphernalia.

After tossing and tossing until the evening, the mourning hall has been set up.

Yang Mo was busy ordering people to deliver funeral posts again.Mother's death can't be in vain, so I have to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some funeral money.

By the morning of tomorrow, countless local officials working in Beijing should come to deliver funeral money.

Taoist Zhang led the group of monks and priests to start a dojo, singing funeral songs.

"The first day I came to the ghost gate. The dead soul was there, and the eyes were full of tears. My Buddha, Tathagata, Ma Mi Mi Mi."

"The next day I came to Wangyame Wangxiang Terrace. The soul of the dead, I can't come back. My Buddha, Tathagata, Mami Mami."

It's time to hold the lights.

Taoist Zhang counted the time.The breath-holding pill was about to run out, and it was almost time for Yang's mother to come back to life.

The servants and maids of the Yang residence all went to have dinner.Yang Mo has no appetite, and guards his mother's coffin in the mourning hall.

There are still a dozen monks and priests brought by Taoist Zhang left in the mourning hall.Those who shake the three clear bells shake the three clear bells, and those who knock on the wooden fish knock on the wooden fish.

Taoist Zhang was still chanting words: "Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang, Taoist method, Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang, great ability."

Mother Yang believed in everything.It's a pity that Nestorianism was strictly prohibited in Ming Dynasty.Otherwise, you have to find a Nestorian father of God, sign the sign of the cross and shout: "Gad doesn't shit oil."

Suddenly, there was a sound in the coffin.

Yang Mo was taken aback.

After a while, Mother Yang sat up in the coffin: "Oh, I have a terrible headache!"

Yang Mo was dumbfounded: "Cheat, did you cheat the corpse?"

Yang's mother asked back: "What's the fake corpse? What's going on? My son, why did I sleep in the coffin?"

Yang Mo turned pale with shock: "Mother, aren't you dead?"

At this moment, a monk took out a solid wooden stick from his bag of treasures, walked behind Yang Mo, and gave him a sap on the head.

Playing sap is a technical job.If the strength is weak, people cannot pass out.If it is too powerful, it will kill people.

Jin Yiwei has always specialized in surgery.That monk is Wei Li's chief banner who is responsible for beating sap and kidnapping.

Yang Mo felt his eyes go dark, and passed out.

Taoist priests and monks rushed forward and put Yang Mo into a sack.

Yang's mother was dumbfounded: "Hey, what's going on?"

Taoist Zhang said with a smile: "Old lady, do you still know me? The kid on your body has escaped and found your son."

"Let's take your son away and exorcise ghosts for his life."

Yang's mother is old and confused.She said: "Do you still ask Ji Bochang, the immortal under the seat of Sanqing, to save my son?"

Taoist Zhang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, please Ji Bochang."

A group of monks and Taoist priests carried the sacks directly to the outside of the mourning hall.Just happened to meet the servants and maids of the Yang Mansion returning after dinner.

The housekeeper pointed to the sack and asked, "What is this? You stole something from the mourning hall?"

Taoist Zhang yelled: "Should live! Your old lady has cheated her body!"

The butler looked into the mourning hall.

Mother Yang passed out for three hours, hungry and thirsty.Just eating the cake while offering peaches!

The butler turned pale with shock: "It's broken! The old lady is really a liar!"

There was a sudden chaos in Yang's residence.

Zhang Daoshi and others took advantage of the chaos to carry the sack containing Yang Mo out of the Yang Mansion.

An hour later, in front of Beizhen Fusi Zhao Prison.

Chang Feng said to Taoist Zhang: "Shenxian Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Zhang Daoshi said: "It's okay. According to my official position, I am your subordinate. It is only natural to help you with errands."

"Yes, the matter is over. I'll go home and get bored!"

After speaking, Taoist Zhang drifted away.

Chang Feng followed Fatty Xu into the prison interrogation room.

Yang Mo had already been woken up by someone.

Yang Mo was furious: "Chang Feng, why did you arrest me again? Could it be that you don't even give the old abbot any face?"

"Let the old country master know, and carefully peel your skin!"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "How would the old man know? We tied you up with a sap. If you died in prison in a daze, no one would know."

"At most, there is an unknown corpse with a scratched face on the mass grave in the west of the city!"

Yang Mo was stunned: "You Jinyiwei actually use the lowly tricks of bandits and thugs?"

Chang Feng said: "You are right. The most vile and shameless yamen in the entire Ming Dynasty is our Jinyiwei."

"Come on, let's go to the big punishment!"

Originally, Yang Mo planned: I have to grit my teeth.The old treasurer must not be confessed.As long as he is safe and sound, he can save me.

If I confess to the old treasurer, I will definitely die.

Whether it is the officials or criminals who were arrested and sent to prison, most of them think so.

However, Jin Yiwei's big memory recovery technique is not in vain?

Entering the Imperial Prison is not something you can just grit your teeth if you want to.

The punishment Qi Zongqi gave Yang Mo was "playing the pipa".

Four warriors pushed Yang Mo to the ground, grabbed his hands and feet, and lifted his upper robe, exposing his ribs.

Qi Zongqi "plucked" Yang Mo's ribs back and forth with a sharp knife.

Playing the pipa is one of the housekeeping dishes in the prison.

Yang Mo felt that his ribs were both painful and itchy, and he was in such extreme pain that he could not wish to die, nor could he wish to live.

After a while, he began to shout hysterically: "I'll do it, I'll do it all! You're trying to judge me!"

Chang Feng was fiddling with his fingernails: "No rush. Play the pipa for a while!"

After another moment, Yang Mo's ribs on both sides were bloody.

In fact, Qi Zongqi kept holding back his strength.Master Chang still wanted to ask questions, but he didn't dare to kill Yang Mo.

Chang Feng waved his hand: "Stop!"

Qi Zongqi withdrew his hand.

Chang Feng said: "Yang Mo, you are toasting and not eating fine wine. Alright, I will ask you a question now. You must answer truthfully."

Yang Mo nodded vigorously.

Chang Feng asked: "Who is the real boss of Runde Grain Company? Besides Shou Ningbo, who are the other shareholders?"

Yang Mo avoids the important and focuses on the less important: "The shareholders also include Dai Wang Zhu Junzhang, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, Prince Consort Xu Tingji, and Ding Guogong Xu Yongning."

Yang Mo did not admit the identity of the "old shopkeeper", but confessed more than a dozen royal family members, hereditary princes, and foreign relatives like a cannonball.

Among them was even Zhu Junzhang who had just attacked the prince!

After hearing this, Fatty Xu jumped up from the chair like a big fat toad.

Fatty Xu said angrily: "Yang Mo, you are spitting blood. My father is also a shareholder of Runde Grain Company? Why didn't I know?"

Yang Mo breathlessly said: "It's all here, how dare I lie? Your father invested 1000 taels of silver in September last year."

"October earns 300 taels, November earns 500 taels, and twelfth lunar month earns 200 taels"

"As of May this year, your father has received a total of 100 taels."

Yang Mo eats an abacus and remembers numbers very clearly.

Fatty Xu slumped on the chair.

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, since your father is involved, you should avoid it. Otherwise, if you participate in the questioning, the confession will not count."

Fatty Xu got up: "I'll go home and ask my father."

But Chang Feng said: "You stay in Weili honestly. Don't go to your father, so as not to startle the snake."

After Fatty Xu left, Chang Feng sneered: "Yang Mo, you still haven't said who the boss of the grain store is."

"Don't tell me it's you! I don't believe it!"

After speaking, Chang Feng gave Qi Zongqi a wink.

Qi Zongqi picked up the sharp knife again, and gesticulated on Yang Mo's ribs.

Yang Mo closed his eyes: "The real controller of the grain store is our old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper is the right servant of the household department, Zhang Wei!"

Chang Feng's face changed: "Zhang Wei? Zhang Wei who is in charge of the warehouse?"

Yang Mo poured the beans into the bamboo tube and confessed one by one.

Zhang Wei is a senior official with a business mind.

In August of last year, Emperor Hongzhi ordered all states and counties to hoard grain.Zhang Wei immediately sensed the business opportunity.

He knew that with the pissing nature of the local officials, they would use this excuse to wantonly exploit the people's food and rice.

If the grain and rice are exploited, they must be exchanged for silver.At that time, there will be a lot of dirty food on the market.

Officials are eager to cash in, so the price will naturally be very low.

This is an opportunity to make a fortune by buying low and selling high.

So Zhang Wei asked Yang Mo to act as a substitute, and opened Runde Grain Store in Tongzhou.

Zhang Wei is well versed in the principle that if you have money, you can make it together, and if something goes wrong, you can make money together.

He took the initiative to contact a bunch of clans, nobles, and relatives.Encourage them to invest.The share capital is very low, but only a thousand taels per family. .

More than a dozen shareholders, the capital pooled up is only more than 1 taels.It is far from enough to eat the dirty food of more than 1000 counties.

That's easy.Zhang Wei was in charge of Baoquan Bureau.

Commercial tax silver from all over the country is collected in the form of city silver.It needs to be handed over to Baoquan Bureau for melting and casting into official ingots.

Zhang Wei resolutely embezzled the city silver that had not been minted by Baoquan Bureau as capital.

Anyway, this business is sure to make a lot of money, and there is no need to worry about plugging the hole.

And the granary for storing grain is ready-made.Zhang Weiben is the "Cangchang servant", and Tongzhou Cangchang is like his own vegetable garden.

For this business, Zhang Wei is tantamount to collecting dirt with the money of the imperial court and using the warehouse of the imperial court to store dirt.

The huge amount of grain can only be eaten by Runde Grain Shop.Once the rumors spread ten to ten, the local officials all came to rundeliang to sell the stolen goods.

The food that should be eaten in the mouths of the people, after the transaction between the local officials and the Runde Grain Bank, has become the white money in the purses of corrupt officials.

From August last year to May this year, in just nine months, Runde Grain Company made a net profit of 38 taels.

Among them, 5 taels were given to the station cabinet gentlemen.

1 taels will be given to the officials and warehouse soldiers of Baoquan Bureau; the officials and grain workers of Tongzhou warehouse.

15 taels were given to more than a dozen shareholders.

Zhang Wei made a profit of 17 taels!

Today, Tongzhou warehouses still store 45 shi of dirty grain.

Chang Feng got Yang Mo's confession and went directly to the palace.

After reading the case file, Emperor Hongzhi said three words: "Good method!"

Chang Feng echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty. To use a folk saying to describe Zhang Wei's method of selling stolen goods, it is called 'white water for money'."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "The Ming Dynasty has strict mining restrictions. But from the servants in the capital to the county magistrates and magistrates in the localities, they all regard the common people as inexhaustible silver mines!"

"I've done it too. If I hadn't been so hot-headed, I issued an imperial decree to hoard food. How could I give corrupt officials and officials a chance to exploit the people?"

"What Huang Boren said - an emperor who doesn't make trouble is a good emperor. Now I deeply believe it."

Chang Feng asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, how should those involved in the case be dealt with?"

Emperor Hongzhi returned the question to Chang Feng and asked, "What do you think?"

Chang Feng thought to himself: If those involved are punished with great fanfare.The right hall of the household department, the clan, nobles, and foreign relatives were involved in the case.Is it okay to spread the word?
The group of people standing at the highest place in the court hall are scrambling to dig the corner of the Ming Dynasty.If Zhang Yang goes out, what is the face of the court?
Therefore, you can't punish him publicly, you can only punish him secretly!
Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, a group of bandits has sneaked into the capital recently. These bandits are so bold that they broke into the mansion of Zhang Wei, the servant of the household department, killed Zhang Wei, and plundered all the property of the Zhang family."

"Over the warehouse in Tongzhou, 45 stones of grain have been accumulated due to the effective control of rodents and insects. This batch of grain should be included in the grain book of the Ministry of Households."

"In addition, there is a grain store in Tongzhou called Runde Grain Bank. Due to poor management, it owes a lot of money. The boss also ran away. The Ministry of Accounting should take over the grain store."

Chang Feng put forward three suggestions euphemistically.The first suggestion is that Zhang Wei, the chief culprit of secret censorship, confiscated his family property.

The second suggestion is to confiscate the stolen grain hoarded by Runde Grain Bank in the Tongzhou warehouse.

The third suggestion is to confiscate all the living mercury in Runde Grain Bank.

As for those shareholders, they are all relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles.There will be no punishment.

Sometimes, eradicating evil cannot be exhausted.Otherwise, it will become a law that does not blame the public.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Chang Feng and said in his heart: Chang Feng is a man worthy of great responsibility.Do things from the big picture!It's time for me to formally hand over Beizhen Fusi to him.

Emperor Hongzhi did not speak.Sometimes silence equals acquiescence.He acquiesced to Chang Feng's suggestion.

After a cup of tea, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Just do as you said."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Yes, I will retire."

After Chang Feng left the palace, he immediately summoned [-] specialists in the Jinyiwei who were specialized in undersecret errands, and [-] inspectors from the Qianhu Office who specialized in family raids.

Everyone put on night clothes, took advantage of the cover of midnight night, and rushed into Zhang Wei's servant's mansion!

Zhang Wei is a civil servant.Civilian mansions are not protected by soldiers unless there is a special purpose.

They arrested more than 120 members of the Zhang family.

Chang Feng entered Zhang's study.In the study, Zhang Wei has been tied up.

Chang Feng was wearing a mask to cover his face, but Zhang Wei didn't recognize him.

Zhang Wei thought that Chang Feng was a villain who came to ask for money, so he said: "My man, so many of you have entered my mansion, are you asking for money?"

"It's easy to say, I can still get 1 to [-]."

Chang Feng sneered: "What I want is all your property. 1 to [-]? Send the beggar?"

After speaking, Chang Feng took off the face towel.

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded: "Jinyiwei Changfeng? What are you going to do?"

Chang Feng said: "Zhang Butang, oh no, I should call you 'Old Shopkeeper'. The matter of Runde Liangxing has been exposed."

Zhang Weiquan had no flustered expression just now: "You are here for this matter. Then you should know that the Runde Food Industry is not my own!"

"If you arrest me, will you arrest those shareholders?"

"Are you going to arrest all the state and county magistrates in the world?"

Chang Feng said: "Coercive people to protect themselves? Your trick is not new. I have seen this trick in Hangzhou before."

"Let me tell you, today I will not arrest others, nor will I arrest you!"

Zhang Weidao: "Don't arrest me? Why don't you hurry up and untie me?"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "I said I won't arrest you, but I didn't say I won't kill you! Do you know what a secret order is?"

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded: "Do you dare to assassinate the right hall of the household department? You are not afraid of those people behind me."

"Crack!" Chang Fan slapped Zhang Wei's mouth, "I'll kill you like a dog. Since it's a Secret Order, how can you let the people behind you know?"

"But before I kill you, I want to ask clearly where your wealth is hidden. This will make it easier for you to raid your home."

Zhang Wei shook his head: "If you want to kill, you can kill, why do you need to say more?"

Chang Feng walked to the window and looked up at the bright moon: "It's three quarters. I have to finish this job before dawn. I don't have time to punish you."

Chang Feng clapped his hands after speaking.

Channing strode into the study.He was holding a rag in his hand, the rag was dotted with blood, and the inside was bulging, as if it was wrapped in something.

Channing opened the rag—it was a woman's hand, still warm!There was a jade ring on the finger of her tender hand.

Zhang Wei recognized that it was the hand of his sixth concubine.A few days ago, the little concubine had been talking to him, which made him very useful.As soon as he was happy, he rewarded her with the jade ring.

Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me where all the family wealth is hidden. We will spend a lot of effort to find it! Home raids are the specialty of the Thousand Households Office under my command."

"However, if you don't tell me, all 120 people in the family will be buried with you!"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Chang Feng, the people in the capital are right, you are a butcher!"

Chang Feng smiled lightly: "You're right. I really enjoyed the process of slaughtering corrupt officials' families."

What Chang Feng said was actually from the heart.

There is a ghost living in everyone's heart.He had killed the first person on the school grounds since the autumn four years ago.Since then, he has experienced the thrill of killing.

Zhang Wei closed his eyes: "If I tell you where all the money is hidden, can you let my family go?"

Chang Feng replied: "Of course. Bandits entered your house tonight, killed you, and robbed you of your property."

"On the surface, you have not committed a crime, and your family is not the family of a prisoner. Men will not be implicated or exiled. Women will not be punished into the Jiaofang Division."

"Maybe the emperor will order to comfort your family."

Zhang Weiyi gritted his teeth: "Okay! Let me tell you!"

Hongzhi three years May eighteenth.There are bandits in the capital.The villain broke into the residence of Zhang Wei, the right servant of the household department at night.Zhang Wei was killed and his family property was looted.

The strange thing is that none of Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Bingmasi, who were in charge of public security in the capital, were punished for this.

　Brother cute!It's a big deal!Allow me to take a sip and talk carefully!
　　The fat author was poisoned by carbon monoxide yesterday!That's right, I almost lost my life!

　　The thing is like this, there are three web writers in our county.

　　Yesterday, the tycoon who paid tens of millions of dollars for the manuscript of a book gave a treat, and ate mutton cut with hands in a copper pot.The kind of copper pot that puts charcoal.

　　I am the most active in eating and drinking for nothing!With a big belly, she readily agreed.

　　The three of us entered a small private room.The small private room itself is closed, and it is hot, and the air conditioner is turned on to circulate, but the exhaust fan is not turned on!
　　We sit down and eat from seven.At nine o'clock, I said I had a terrible headache.The other two are still strange, why don't they have a headache after drinking?
　　Then it wasn't until ten o'clock that we finished bragging and went back to our respective houses.

　　As soon as I got home, I had a splitting headache.With a headache, the day is over. I went to bed at 12 o'clock.Woke up with a headache at two o'clock!

　　My first reaction was, shit.From last winter to summer, there were no sheep.Shouldn't you be tricked?

　　However, the temperature was measured and it was normal.I took two painkillers and it didn't work!
　　The pain lasted until six in the morning, and suddenly it was fine!It doesn't hurt anymore!It's alive and kicking!

　　In the morning we breathed in the group.After three people went home last night, two had a splitting headache, and one had an asthma attack.

　　I said so much to remind my brother Meng.When eating charcoal-grilled copper pot shabu-shabu, you must do a good job of ventilation!

　　There are still 12 words before 5000 o'clock.Day million can not stop.
