The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 83 Shocking
Zhao Xian heard the middle-aged man claiming to be our family, with a high-pitched voice, his heart skipped a beat, and he took a closer look at the other man, who also had a white face and no beard.He immediately understood the identities of the two, eunuchs.

He, who was still delusional just now, was really panicked at this moment, because he understood that if the emperor wanted to manage salt merchants like them, those officials who accepted his filial piety would not speak for themselves, and they would not pay back. It will be worse.He wanted to save it again, so he said unwillingly, "This old man is a disciple of Master Zhen Yingjia from the Zhen family in Jinling. He is in charge of Jiangnan Weaving for the Supreme Emperor. You can't treat me like this."

However, the three of them were all expressionless, as if they hadn't heard his words at all. Zhao Xian was even more frightened now. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Mu Xu, "My lord, Caomin didn't mean to oppose you, please. My lord, please spare the Caomin family."

Mu Xu sneered, "It's okay for you to offend me, but you shouldn't have violated the laws of the country. Tell me yourself, how many people have been plundered by you people over the years, and how many people have been forced to die just for the sake of eating salt?" I chose to take the risk, and ended up with my family ruined. How much do you sell for ten yuan a catty of salt?"

"Not only that, but you also secretly recruited Jiangyang's bandits. I don't know how many lives have been killed. You still have the face to beg for mercy from the official. You should ask those who were killed by you whether they should forgive you."

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk past him, but Zhao Xian stretched out his hand to hug his leg.How Mu Xu reacted, how could he let such people dirty his clothes, he just kicked his leg, and he flew five meters on his back, and landed in the kneeling crowd behind him.It happened to hit his sons, and the father and son rolled into a ball.Fortunately, someone below followed him, otherwise he would surely die.But even so, he died half of his life in one fell swoop, lying on the ground and moaning constantly.Seeing that they were in a mess, the soldiers nearby beat them up and told them to kneel down again.

If he hadn't been afraid that Zhao Xian would die like this just now, and it would be too cheap for him, Mu Xu would not have switched to kicking him into the crowd at the last moment.Otherwise, with his current strength, he can be kicked to death with just three points of strength.Mu Xu also stopped talking to these people, went directly to the copied property, and asked the clerk who recorded it, "How, how many have been counted?"

This scribe was borrowed by Mu Xu from Xunyan Yushi's yamen specially when he knew that he was going to raid his home today. He borrowed a total of twenty people, and now there are two people in Zhao's residence.Listening to his question, one of the clerks replied, "Your Excellency has counted [-] taels of gold, [-] million taels of silver, and various jewels..."

"Okay, there's no need to report later." Mu Xu turned his head again and asked an embroidered clothing guard general flag beside him, "Is it all copied?"

The general flag clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, my lord, even all kinds of darkrooms were not missed."

Liu Hong had long been attracted by the gold, silver and all kinds of rare treasures on the scene, but Wang An was careful. Seeing Mu Xu's expression, Liu Hong, who was almost drooling, asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, What's the problem?"

Mu Xu nodded, "The amount of silver is not right, they must have something private."

"What?" Liu Hong stared.Even Wang An showed an incredulous expression, and more than three million taels of silver were copied out on the spot, not counting all kinds of treasures.Mu Xu even said that there was less, and the two swallowed at the same time.Before Mu Xu said that the salt merchant was rich, although the two believed it, they felt that he was exaggerating in their hearts, and now they completely believe it.

Hearing Mu Xu's words, Liu Hong immediately said, "Give them a big torture, and our family won't believe that they won't recruit?"

Mu Xu smiled and waved his hands, "Eunuch Liu, be safe and don't be impatient." Then he came to the kneeling crowd, "I know that your Zhao family has more than this money, if anyone can point out where the Tibetan silver is, I will spare him I will never break my promise. You can think about it before you talk, this opportunity is only once, and it will not wait when it expires."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xian's eldest son, Zhao Cheng, crawled out and shouted, "My lord, I know." Seeing that his son wanted to save his own money for a comeback, Zhao Xian was in a hurry and couldn't care less His chest hurts, and he struggled to pounce on Zhao Cheng, but was held down by the soldiers next to him, and he cursed, "You scoundrel..." Before he finished cursing, a fan stepped forward, picked up a The cloth he picked up was stuffed directly into his mouth, and Zhao Xian could only whimper immediately.

Then Zhao Cheng didn't care about that, he crawled to Mu Xu's feet, "Sir, if I tell you, can I really spare my life?"

Mu Xu sneered, "Why, do you think my lord will lie to you?"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly shook his head in fright, "Damn the villain, the villain said something wrong."

"Okay, hurry up and tell the truth." Mu Xu sternly reprimanded him, too lazy to look at him like this.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Cheng kowtowed again before saying, "There is heavy silver at the bottom of the lotus pond in the backyard."

Mu Xu made a gesture, and immediately several fans led a group of soldiers to the backyard.

After a while, I saw a group of people carrying several boxes, one of them stepped forward, "My lord, I found ten boxes with a total of two million taels of silver in cash."

"Yeah." Mu Xu nodded and looked at Zhao Cheng, "That's all, is there any more?"

Zhao Chengzheng was hesitating whether to speak or not, when he heard a voice, "My lord, I report that Zhao Cheng did not tell the truth." Everyone looked at the crowd, only to see that the one who spoke was Zhao Zhe, the third son of the Zhao family.

Mu Xu motioned for someone to let him come over, and Zhao Zhe took a few steps on his knees, and came three steps away from Mu Xu, "My lord, there is a secret room at the bottom of the rockery next to the lotus pond just now."

"Third brother, you..." Zhao Cheng was so angry that he couldn't even speak when he saw that his younger brother had exposed his hidden secret.

Zhao Zhe snorted, "You are really my good brother. You tell me a piece of hidden silver to save your life, and you can come back later to take out the rest of the silver. Then you can continue to have fun. What about me, I will Damn it?" After speaking, he said to Mu Xu again, "In addition to this, my lord, there are also in the well at the door of the woodshed in the backyard."

After watching a big play for free, Mu Xu first asked the fan next to him to take someone to check it out, and then smiled, "Very well, it seems that Mr. Zhao San is a smart man. You have meritorious service in reporting, and I forgive you Not guilty, you can go."

With ecstasy on Zhao Zhe's face, he kowtowed to Mu Xu, then got up, and ran towards the gate without looking back. .

Now Zhao Cheng was dumbfounded, he made an expression uglier than crying, "My lord, I didn't think of it for a while..."

Mu Xu glanced at him in disgust, turned and left.He wanted to say something more, but was dragged down by two soldiers like dead pigs.

Mu Xu came to Wang An and Wang An with a smile, and said with a smile, "I think these guys are dishonest."

Both Wang An and Wang An laughed. At this time, Fan Zi, who went to the backyard to check, reported, "My lord, a total of about [-] million taels of gold and silver were found in the secret room and well in the backyard. Found this in the secret room." He said and raised a box with both hands.

Mu Xu took the box, opened it, and saw that it was full of letters and account books. He nodded in satisfaction, and handed the box to him, "Very good, you keep this thing first. Then call [-] people to escort these copies. The belongings go to Xingyuan, and then take care of them carefully."

"Yes, I understand under the mark."

As soon as the words fell, a small school guarding prisoners also came to report, "My lord, that Zhao Xian is dead."

Mu Xu looked towards the prisoner, and sure enough, seeing the old man laying on the ground, he wondered, "How did he die?"

The little schoolboy showed a strange look, "It should be pissed off."

It turned out that when Zhao Xian first saw his elder son, he just told him about a place where silver was hidden, and he immediately understood what his elder son was planning.Just as he was secretly relieved, he didn't know that his third son gave him another knife. These things were completely hopeless, and he died in a fit of anger.

Mu Xu just felt that this old thing died too cheaply, so naturally he didn't take his life and death seriously.Seeing that Wang An and Wang An were staring at the belongings on the ground motionlessly, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You two father-in-laws, why don't you go back to Xingyuan and count them together. Don't forget that there are still many homes."

Seeing Mu Xu laughing, Wang An was quite embarrassed, "Your Majesty laughed, this is the first time I have seen so much money, I lost my composure for a while."

Liu Hong didn't feel embarrassed, but instead reminded Mu Xu, "This Zhao family has several silver deposits, and other families must also have them. Your son must keep his eyes open, so as not to be deceived by these bastards."

Mu Xu replied, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I've already told you that even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find out their privately hidden silver."

Seeing the greedy expression of this guy, Mu Xu couldn't help doubting the correctness of sending him to manage the salt tunnel.It's a pity that I can't make up my mind on this matter, so I can only press my thoughts.He began to persuade again, "Now that it's almost noon, the two father-in-laws should follow me back to Xingyuan and wait."
