Blood from Daming

Chapter 266
Xue Aorao and the eldest daughter of the Qian family agreed to go to her father and grandfather, Yan Sanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said to Xue Aorao: "Auntie, go back and ask the Qian family what important things have been confiscated. If there are any valuable things, houses, and land properties in the family, write a list and report to the Hangzhou government, saying that it is the dowry of the Xue family and the family business earned by the uncle, and try to keep it, otherwise the nephew and daughter-in-law will be powerless when things get bigger. gone."

When Xue Aorao and the eldest daughter of the Qian family heard that there was such a good thing, they naturally agreed with their mouths. At this time, both Xue Aorao and the eldest daughter of the Qian family had their own interests in their eyes. As for the matters of the Qian family, they almost forgot. After saying a few words of gratitude to Yan Sanniang, he hurried back to discuss with Qian Kai.

Yan Sanniang said in her heart that I will give all the Qian family's money to your second room now. Seeing that you Qian Kai, Xue Aoruo and the eldest daughter of the Qian family are reluctant to return the money to the Qian family. It's a big difference. Seeing what you said clearly, the people from the Qian family who didn't pay back the money didn't demolish the second room when they came back. If Qian Kai and Xue Aolao understood this truth, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so active for the Qian family. ran away.

Yan Sanniang thought for a while, retracting her thoughts, and seeing her female soldier still standing there, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

The female soldier replied: "The shopkeeper Chen wants to see the master."

Yan Sanniang had a fight just now, and she has been busy for a long time now. She feels a little hungry and a little tired, but since she is sitting in this seat, she has to do what she has to do. Yan Sanniang had no choice but to ask the female soldiers to invite shopkeeper Chen in.

After shopkeeper Chen came in, he stood there talking, but Yan Sanniang said: "Uncle Chen, you are an elder, you should sit and talk, otherwise I will be embarrassed to see sister Chen in the future."

Shopkeeper Chen sat down at a place far away from Yan Sanniang's side, and then said to Yan Sanniang: "My lord, the gift money of these rich merchants from aristocratic families is 40 taels of silver, and they heard that they can buy Wu Ni's adverse birth In addition, there is filial piety."

Yan Sanniang took the gift list from the wealthy businessman of the Hangzhou mansion handed over by shopkeeper Chen. In addition to the gift amount of 40 taels of silver, there was another 20 taels of filial piety. The businessmen in the city are very rich, and today is the real insight. If these people's homes were copied, they would not know the astronomical figures.

Yan Sanniang said to shopkeeper Chen: "Let's stop here. Uncle Chen will make a list. People who pay a lot of money will eat meat at the auction, and those who don't will eat soup and bones. Well, Uncle Chen himself chooses two places." For the store, it’s your hard work.”

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands again and again to say no, Yan Sanniang said: "Uncle Chen, don't refuse, of course the advantage is that your own people get it first, and it doesn't make sense to make it cheaper for outsiders."

In the next few days, Mr. Wu, the procuratorial envoy of Zhejiang Province, was involved in the case of Jianwen remnants. During the orderly interrogation, Zhejiang Cheng, who was innocently implicated, announced that Mr. Cao, the political envoy, the left counselor, Mr. Jiang, the procuratorate of Zhejiang Province, and others Officials and merchants left Hangzhou Prison one after another, and even the few scholars were released on bail pending trial.

Those who stay in the prison are basically Mr. Wu and his family, the procuratorate of Zhejiang Province. Mr. Wu also wanted to find someone to rescue him, so Mr. Wu made a wish to the head of the prison and asked them to bring a letter to the officials of Hangzhou government. I hope these officials can save me. At the beginning, there were a few prison heads and guards who helped me run errands, but within a few days, no one paid attention to him anymore.

But the troubled brothers and sisters who came in with him began to leave one after another. Not to mention that Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoy, Si Zuo, counselor Mr. Cao, Zhejiang's punishment and procurator, Mr. Jiang, and those officials and merchants had left. Even his best friends didn't know. No matter what the family thought of, they were almost gone, and the rest were mainly the people from the Wu Wu family.

At first, the Wu family thought it was the head of the house who caused trouble in the Hangzhou mansion and was imprisoned. Later, the hundreds of people saw that the people who came in with them all left one after another, and the head of the family, Mr. Wu, had no effective way to resolve it. Due to the current predicament, everyone couldn't help but make a fuss. The clansmen in the same cell beat up Mr. Wu severely. Killed.

Mr. Wu, Zhejiang Procuratorate for Mental Sentence, also found it strange that Shuntian Mansion, Chief Secretary, and Hangzhou Mansion never mentioned that he had been interrogated in court, and the Procuratorate for Mentoring Criminal Justice in Zhejiang Province never came to the court. Master Wu was thinking that as long as he came A person I am familiar with, I will definitely go through the door of Mr. Pan, the Chief Minister of Zhejiang Province, even if Shuntian Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion spend a lot of money on their own, is there any injustice?

It wasn't until some members of the so-called Ocean Painting and Calligraphy Club were imprisoned in Mr. Wu that he realized that his misfortune was not as simple as the second son's arrest by President Yan of Shuntian Mansion and his mistaken handing over to Mr. Wen, a scholar in white. The people who came in said that the Wu family It is already a firm case, and now not only hundreds of clansmen are collectively excited, but even Mr. Wu, the procurator of Zhejiang Province, couldn't help beating the second young master Wu who was just better in the same cell. Make Wu Ergong re-enter the ranks of disabled people.

Lord Wu knew that he had become a scapegoat who had to die, but he was still unwilling. Could it be that that stinky woman in Shuntian Mansion wanted to kill someone for such a trivial matter? Today, Lord Wu finally waited for a turning point, and he was in the prison of Hangzhou Mansion After being locked up for almost half a month, I finally saw three officials who were worthy enough.

These three people are Cui Yingyuan, an acquaintance of Jin Yiwei, Duan She, the "Flying Centipede" of Dongchang, and Lou Qihe, a "Nanhai drug lord". The three people were interested in Mr. Wen, a scholar in white. Master Wu knew that something was wrong and immediately promised the three people a bribe of more than 10 taels of silver.

The eyes of the three people, Cui Yingyuan, the acquaintance of Jinyiwei, "Flying Centipede" Duan She, the head of the Dongchang stall, and Lou Qihe, the "Nanhai drug lord", suddenly disappeared, and Cui Yingyuan, the acquaintance of Jinyiwei, said contemptuously: " Master Wu, you are a pauper and you are still bragging here, there is something wrong with your brain."

Jin Yiwei’s fellow acquaintance Cui Yingyuan’s words woke up Mr. Wu, his property has been confiscated, how could he still have money to bribe, now whoever gets the money from Wu’s family will definitely put his entire family to death, Mr. Wu is willing to die. The principle of pulling people back is to explain to Jin Yiwei's fellow acquaintance Cui Yingyuan, the head of the East Factory "Flying Centipede" Duan She, and "Nanhai Drug Lord" Lou Qihe that the Wu family's property is as high as 500 million taels of silver. If I can recover myself, I will honor the three adults.

Jin Yiwei knew that although Cui Yingyuan was greedy for money, his IQ was not bad. His first reaction was to not believe what Master Wu said. Cui Yingyuan discussed asking for money from the Shuntian Mansion, the Chief Secretary, and the Hangzhou Mansion. According to the words of Duan She, the "Flying Centipede" who is the head of the Dongchang stall, the Wu family does not have 500 million taels of silver, and the property of 300 million taels should still be there. Yes, if there is no such thing as Master Wu said, I believe the three of them will vomit blood once in a while.

The three of them discussed for a while and felt that asking for money from the chief envoy, Mr. Pan, felt that the amount of money was not enough. The most important thing was that the three of them were not qualified to intervene in the affairs of Hangzhou Mansion. Only the three of them knew this secret, which was Shuntian Mansion. Boss Yan is also the head of the big stall of the East Factory. According to the rules of the East Factory, if there is a stall for handling a case, the stall of the same level should be dominated by the stall that came first. It is also a "flying centipede". The reason why Duan She and "South China Sea drug lord" Lou Qihe didn't want to see Yan Sanniang.

In fact, Jin Yiwei's fellow acquaintance Cui Yingyuan, Dongchang's big stall leader "Flying Centipede" Duan She, and "South China Sea drug lord" Lou Qihe didn't want to see Yan Sanniang. The biggest reason is that they are afraid of Xue Yun, the protector of Dongchang. Xue Yun is ruthless. , Killing the enemy is ruthless, but killing one's own people is not soft at all. Xue Yun's massacre of [-] Shandong official cavalry is an open secret in the official circles of Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the three of them thought it was better to eat peaches in the middle of the night and pinch them with a rake. The three of them went to find Mr. Xu, the magistrate of Hangzhou, and mentioned that Mr. Wu, the procurator of Zhejiang Province, confessed that the family had a property of up to 500 million taels of silver. The three wanted to verify it. Take a look at this huge property, and then transport it to the capital as soon as possible to hand it over to the emperor and Eunuch Wei.

After hearing this, Xu Zhifu opened his mouth as wide as a goose egg and said: "Three adults, this is Wu Ni talking nonsense in a hurry. The Wu family's property is almost one million."

Cui Yingyuan, a colleague of Jinyiwei, "Flying Centipede" Duan She, "Flying Centipede" Duan She, and "Nanhai Drug Lord" Lou Qihe didn't believe it. The two sides argued for a long time, but the three insisted that Xu Zhifu had embezzled the Wu family's money In the end, "Flying Centipede" Duan She offered 60 taels of silver, that is, Cui Yingyuan, a colleague of Jinyiwei, "Flying Centipede" Duan She, and "Nanhai Drug Lord" Lou Qihe, each of whom received 10 taels of silver. For the other 30 taels, 20 taels will be used to honor Eunuch Wei, and the remaining 10 taels will be used for the top and bottom officials of Jinyiwei, but the final amount cannot be less, otherwise Dongchang and Jinyiwei will punish Xu Zhifu for corruption.

Xu Zhifu waited for the three gods of plague to leave temporarily, and immediately ran to Yan Mansion to discuss with Yan Sanniang what to do. After hearing what Xu Zhifu said, Yan Sanniang said that the three of them were talking about 60 taels of silver. They all have their own masters. If Jin Yiwei's fellow acquaintance Cui Yingyuan, the head of the Dongchang stall "Flying Centipede" Duan She, and "Nanhai Drug Lord" Lou Qihe ask for one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, you can give them a piece together. This opening of 8 taels of silver is out of the question.

The properties of the Wu family were reported to the imperial court, and a total of nearly 1 taels of gold was confiscated, 41 taels of silver, and a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Two, a total of about 7000 million silver, ready to be released and sent to the capital at any time.

And Yan Sanniang, Master Pan, and Master Xu each got 1000 taels of gold and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. The three people's greatest benefits came from the wealthy businessmen of the family who were implicated in the case of the Hangzhou government and the purchase of cheap shops and goods in the warehouse of the Wu family. The filial piety of the house and the fields, the governor of Zhejiang Province, Pan Ruzhen, hid after getting the money, and pushed the risky business of dealing with wealthy businessmen of the family to the prefect Xu. In the end, the prefect was so happy that the prefect colluded with Yan Sanniang to dump the Wu family's assets in private. The wharf ships of the Wu family naturally fell into the hands of Yan Sanniang, and the North-South, Western and other goods of 80 million taels of silver were sold. Yan Sanniang lowered the price by half through shopkeeper Chen. The rest of the goods, the most valuable of the Wu family are the large number of shops, warehouses, houses, and fields in Hangzhou City. Except Yan Sanniang, Master Pan, and Master Xu each kept some, most of the property was sold according to the filial piety of the family merchants. .
