Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 76 Transfer of Property
Earl Ying felt puzzled. What could it be that Li Ping'er wanted to take away tonight?

It sounds mysterious and seems extremely important.

Li Ping'er led Count Ying all the way to the left room, where they saw a large bowl of ice-cold meatballs on the table, and beside it was a piece of rice paper densely written with tiny characters.

Li Ping'er pulled Earl Ying to sit at the table and solemnly picked up the rice paper.

He said seriously: "This is the statistics of all the belongings in the house. Every item and style has been clearly sorted out, and nothing has been written down on it."

Earl Ying took the list from the woman's hand and looked at it, his eyes were stunned.

All the treasures in Hua Zixu's house were added together, and there were as many as 53 items. The specific amount was as high as nearly 10 taels of silver.

"What do you think? Are you surprised?"

Li Ping'er took out the pair of three-inch golden lotuses under her body from her embroidered shoes, put them into Earl Ying's arms, and asked without blinking.

Earl Ying nodded lightly and said, "I have always known that Zixu's family is well off, but I never thought that he could be so rich."

Earl Ying's eyes were firmly fixed on the list in his hand, unable to move even an inch away.

The woman came closer, put her little finger on the list, and said in a deep voice: "All this money is the inheritance left by Old Eunuch Hua, and not half of it was earned by your fourth brother!"

"Hanako Yu and others are fighting to the death in order to take all the money as their own. Of course, I told you everything about Hanako Yu and theirs more than half a month ago, so No need to say more.”

When Earl Ying heard what Li Ping'er said, he immediately slowly put the list of belongings in his hand back on the table.

Turning around, he said, "I probably understand what you mean. I guess you want to hand over all the gold and silver treasures in your home to me, right?"

When Li Ping'er heard this, she looked quite happy, nodded and said: "Smart, exactly."

Earl Ying shook his head, folded his arms, and sighed: "The deceased is the most important. How can I, the great and good man Ying Guanghou, steal this huge amount of property?"

"Besides, Mr. Hua did not hesitate to mutilate his own body as a price to obtain these treasures. It is really pitiful. From this point of view, I can't possess them even more!"

Earl Ying believed from the bottom of his heart that he could never accept Old Eunuch Hua's inheritance.

Not to mention that he is rich now, and his family's money will not be spent all in three lifetimes.

But even though he was extremely poor now, he was determined not to accept such a large fortune.

Li Ping'er became anxious and leaned her head on his shoulder, saying, "You just need to remember that you are also helping me by doing this."

"Look at a mere woman in my family. They have endured humiliation and hardship for many years and finally managed to gain such a big empire. They have spent a lot of effort during this period!"

"If you are unwilling to listen to me, it only means that I have entrusted the wrong person. Hua Zixu is a thief and a prisoner. He wants to pry this gold and silver mountain away from my hands all day long."

The woman had already spoken up to this point, but Earl Ying was still unmoved.

He had no intention of taking away the money.

After a while, the woman said softly: "This is actually the right thing to do. Think about it, Old Eunuch Hua gave me all the money before he died."

"In the future, I will be married into your home in your eight-carriage sedan chair. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

"When you think about it like this, do you still have any knots in your heart?"

Every word of this woman's words came from her heart, and they were actually very reasonable.Earl Ying frowned and thought hard. After thinking about it, he finally found a compromise.

The compromise was that after he took Old Eunuch Hua's inheritance as his own, he would just keep it for the woman and not use it for himself.

No matter what, I won't spend even a penny of this money.

In this way, the woman can be fulfilled without humiliating the deceased person.

So, Earl Ying told the woman: "Okay, then I will promise you, but there is one thing I have to say first. You have to agree even if you don't agree."

The woman stood up quickly, looked at him and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what do you want the slave family to promise you!"

Earl Ying gently picked up the list of belongings, looked at the words on the paper, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"In the future, when you pass, all your food, clothing and expenses must be mine. Neither of us can touch even a penny of the money that belongs to Old Eunuch Hua."

Li Ping'er thought for a while and said decisively: "Okay! I promise you."

After the woman finished speaking, she put her feet into her shoes and walked quickly behind the screen. After working for a while, she waved to Earl Ying and said, "Stop dawdling, come here quickly!"

Earl Ying walked over quickly and came to the back of the screen. He saw the woman squatting on the ground and carefully wiping a wooden box with a wet cloth.

The wooden box was covered with dust, and because it had been left for so long, there were some spider webs on it.

On the wall in front of the woman, a hidden grid about twenty inches in size was clearly visible.

I think this wooden box has always been hidden in this secret compartment, usually with blue bricks embedded in it and tightly covered with long scroll paintings.

It can be said that it is invisible and ingenious.

Earl Ying was looking at this secret space attentively when he heard the woman Li Ping'er smile softly at him.

I quickly turned my head and saw that the woman's left and right hands were placed on the switch of the wooden box. There was a "click" sound of the mechanism twisting, and the wooden box immediately opened.

As soon as he opened it, Earl Ying's own eyes were deeply stung by a large ball of golden light. His heart tightened and he quickly closed his eyes.

The woman sat down on the ground and said with great joy: "What can be better than these treasures in this world? It will be a great joy for me to get this!"

This wooden box contains 76 large ingots, each of which is huge and plump, totaling about 500 taels.

In addition, there are several python robes, jade belts, hat ribbon rings, etc.

Almost all of them are rare treasures that ordinary people will rarely see in their lifetime.

Gradually, Earl Ying's eyes got used to it.

Squatting next to the woman, he said selflessly: "As long as everyone has a little bit of blessing, if he can just get one or two tenths of it, he won't have to worry about the expenses in this life!"

The woman chuckled disdainfully and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but who told him to be inferior to you in everything and ineffective in everything?"

This woman had already planned two days ago, and today she asked Earl Ying to secretly transport these gold and silver treasures away in the dead of night.

Give Hua Zixu a subtle transfer of family property.
