Chapter 47 47. Get rich overnight
An's family fell, and Jin Yiwei was full.

Qinglong led the way, followed by the younger brothers, escorting the property, women and children found in the Anfu, and returned to the Command Department of the Army Capital.

In order to prevent accidents, all those with Jill have been slaughtered.

The main reason is that there is too much money and not enough manpower, Qinglong even wants to kill those shivering female relatives.

At this time, the sky was only slightly bright.

I have been busy all night, but I still can't rest.

Chen Jiu went to the Shenhou Mansion on the way, told the situation to Tie Shou who was still waiting for news, and then went back to the Command Department of the Army Capital, waiting to face the saint with Qinglong.

An Yunshan's body had already been brought back by the white tiger. Qinglong cut off his dead head and put it in a small box. He also brought the rebel three-piece suit found in the God of Wealth Mansion with the ledger, and prepared to wait for the emperor get up.

Five to seven o'clock is morning time.

In the Ming Dynasty, where transportation was underdeveloped, it was really troublesome to go to work. The ministers who lived farther away had to go to court early, and they would leave early in the morning, so they had to sleep in sedan chairs.

And it is impossible for the emperor to go directly to court after getting up, and the time to wake up must be at least one hour earlier.

Therefore, the hardworking emperor may go to court every three days, and the lazy emperor may go to court every five days, or once every ten and a half months.

Of course, there are also those emperors who let themselves go, such as Wanli who has not been in court for 30 years, which is unique in history.

It is also interesting to say that the laziest emperor and the most industrious emperor were both produced by the Ming Dynasty.

The iron man Zhu Yuanzhang basically opened the morning court every day, so the punishment of corruption in the early Ming Dynasty was so strong that countless officials still took risks.

For what?
Some officials really want to buy a house closer to the palace, so that they can sleep late.

Zhengde is not a hard-working emperor, unlike Lao Zhu who insists on going to court every morning, so he can sleep late.

Of course, this laziness is also relative.

Modern people are warriors who can get up at 5 o'clock, but in the Ming Dynasty, except for two extremely lazy buddies, most emperors had to get up at 5 o'clock when they were not going to court.

Zhengde was yawning at this moment, looking at the booklet and ledger handed over by Qinglong, which detailed the whole story and the officials involved.

Zhengde looked again at the dragon robe jade seal and the twelve-pronged crown on the table.

The expression on his face changed from confusion to surprise, and then to anger.

"Could it be that I haven't woken up yet?"

Zhengde rubbed his forehead, wondering if he was still dreaming.

"My lord, please have some tea."

The eunuch Wang Gonggong who was waiting on the side was very discerning and quickly brought tea.

"Ah."

Zhengde took a sip of strong tea, cleared his mind a little, and then slapped the table angrily.

"Good death, hmph, An Jia, what a An Jia! Qinglong, An Shigeng is still alive, right?"

"My lord, the sinner, An Shigeng, is being imprisoned in a prison with six doors, and Chen Jiuke from a thousand households will be the executioner."

Qinglong's eyes signaled that Chen Jiu, who was wandering in the sky, hurried over and prepared to receive the order.

Don't think that executioners are the work of servants.

In fact, this kind of emperor personally ordered what kind of torture to be imposed on XX, which is a great honor for the executioner.

Well done, the emperor will think of you next time, and if you become familiar with the emperor, you will be promoted and rich just around the corner.

Qinglong's own position has come to an end, and if the commander of the Jinyiwei wants to be promoted, he has to be transferred to the Ministry of War, but Daming's current officialdom, making him a governor is both a promotion and a fall.

Although Jin Yiwei is only a guard, and the commander can only be regarded as a division-level cadre, the minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Defense, will be polite when he sees Qinglong.

Some people may ask, if the position cannot be moved, wouldn't it be enough to be promoted to the title.

The problem is that Qinglong is now a marquis of ten thousand households, not a member of the royal family, and it is the emperor's kindness to be able to confer a prince.

As for Wang Jue, don't even think about it.

So far, Daming has only one foreign surname that was granted the title of king when he was alive, and the others were granted posthumously.

According to "Ming History Volume 150 Biography No.40", in the 21st year of Yongle, Cheng Zu personally conquered Mobei and went to Shangzhuangpu. He also led his wife and subordinates to descend first.

When the Sixth Division went deep, the Kou had fled far away, and the emperor was ashamed of his lack of merit. Seeing his return, he was overjoyed. He gave him the name Jin Zhong, made him King Zhongyong, gave him a crown, belt and woven gold clothes, and ordered him to sit under the rank of Marquis.

The translation is that the buddy is a nobleman from the Great Yuan next door. He dragged his family to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di happened to have nothing to gain. He was very happy to see someone surrendering. He was given the title of King Zhongyong, which is very ironic. Giving a fief is barely considered a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone.

Therefore, Qinglong didn't expect any improvement in his title. With all this wasted effort, he might as well seek some benefits for his subordinates.

Chen Jiu received Qinglong's gaze, took a step forward, and bowed his head in salute.

"Please ask the Holy One to order."

He doesn't have any idea about being promoted, but Qinglong wants you to be stunned, but you just say you can't, isn't this a slap in the face of the boss, he is not so confused.

"Look up and let me see."

Zhengde was very satisfied with his handsome face.

He remembered the name of this thousand households, after all, he had just killed a servant of the Ministry of War, and he was also the apprentice of Grand Tutor Zhuge Zhengwo, so don't you remember.

Qinglong listed this kid as the first credit in the memorial. Logically speaking, it is not a big problem to give this kid a title for this kind of credit.

But now the problem is really big.

The case of An Shigeng's treason can only be solved quietly.

The reason is very simple. An family's account book almost wiped out all the dignified officials in the court, and only a few slipped through the net.

Don't think that these fish who slipped through the net are honest people.

These are all diehard Zhu ignores.

Zhengde's heart, which was originally excited because he was going to receive [-] million small money, was a little bit cold at the moment.

Therefore, An Shigeng's execution can't be carried out with great fanfare, but can only be slaughtered in a low-key manner, with a bad breath, and announced to the outside world that he died suddenly.

As for what the ministers will think, this is not within the scope of Zhengde's consideration.

It would be good if they didn't kill all these people. If Lao Zhu were here, none of these buddies who collected money would be able to live, including Liu Dufeng who participated in the investigation of the case.

Even Chen Jiu, after finishing his work, would be executed with an excuse.

Who told you to take money from others.

What, you said that you were forced to accept bribes, and you didn't know that An's family was going to rebel, and you were the first person in this case?
Let's go to the underworld to explain, and don't inquire about it. Among the more than [-] people slaughtered by Lao Zhu in the early Ming Dynasty, how many innocent people were there?

The heroes of the founding of the country can copy and kill all their families, let alone a thousand families.

Zhengde is not Lao Zhu, he has a weak temper. Although he is very angry now, he has no choice but to let the case stop here.

"Jinyiwei Qianhu Chen Jiu listened to the order."

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I want you to execute An Shigeng in secret, and give him a long-term execution. Steward Wang, you are in charge of the prison sentence."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

Chen Jiu received the oral order and stepped aside.

Then it's time to divide the spoils.

The high-profile official appointments and rewards are definitely gone, but Zhengde is embarrassed to swallow all the money from the house raids.

As for the customary hush money to be rewarded to the ministers, don't even think about it. They don't share the money. Zhengde, who got rich overnight, really didn't know how to spend the money.

Thirty million, is there so much global GDP for a year at this time?
After much deliberation, Zhengde finally allocated 500 million taels of silver as the hard-working expenses of Jinyiwei, and allocated another 300 million taels to the six doors. The treasury is split in half.

It is said to be a transfer, but in fact the money has not had time to be sent to the palace, and it is still waiting in Jinyiwei's warehouse at this time.

In terms of credit, Shenhou Mansion is actually the largest, but Qinglong's memorial gave all the space to Chen Jiu.

Who told this kid to be a member of Jin Yiwei? Qinglong also has selfish motives.

As the first achievement, Chen Jiu received 100 million taels of silver.

And according to Zhengde, when this turmoil is over, his position can also be moved up.

The An family's treason case did not end with the coolness of the mastermind.

In the following period of time, Qinglong should be busy.

Chen Jiu is not afraid of being busy.

He really got rich overnight.
