Chapter 381
Governor's House.
Mrs. Feng and Feng Kun had just cremated Feng Shoushi's body. The mother and son put the ashes into the urn and prepared to send them back to their hometown for burial.
Feng Shoushi's hometown is in Jiangzhou. He was transferred to Lixian County, Jingzhou by an order of Emperor Xing for ten years to be the county magistrate, and then he was promoted to governor of Jingzhou. After so many years, his family settled in Jingzhou and never returned to his hometown.
Now that Feng Shoushi died, they had no relatives or friends here, so they could only go back to Jiangzhou.
Mrs. Feng asked the housekeeper to dismiss the servants in the mansion one by one, and then began to tidy up and salute.
Because Feng Shoushi liked to hide his private money during his lifetime, now that he died, the money that he hid also disappeared.
Feng Kun was not reconciled to leaving the money behind, so he searched the house inch by inch, wishing he could dig three feet into the ground.
After his carpet-like search, he found a few places where money was hidden, because the amount was not large, Feng Kun was not satisfied.
He wandered around the mansion, turned around and went directly to Feng Shoushi's study.
Although Feng Shoushi neglected his duties most of the time when he was in office, he tidied up the study very generously. The books in it were displayed as if the owner had learned a lot.
Usually, Feng Shoushi spends most of his time in the mansion in the study, and his study is not easy for anyone to enter.
Even Feng Kun is not qualified to enter and leave the study at will.
Therefore, Feng Kun always felt that his father hid secrets in the study.
Based on what he knew about his father, he was sure that the secret of the study was nothing more than money.
After entering the study room, Feng Kun began to search, but apart from the densely piled books and some elegant and interesting antique calligraphy and paintings, he didn't see a single ingot of silver.
Feng Kun has always been idle, and he has no talent in learning. To him, only real money is real. As for those antique calligraphy and paintings, he doesn't like them at all.
He rummaged in the study all morning, but found nothing. Not only was he worried, but where could his father hide the money?
Feng Kun sat on the grand teacher's chair, pressed his temples, and thought hard.
Saw the writing brush on the pen holder at hand, he raised his hand to take it, wanted to draw a rough map of the study on the paper, record the places he had found, and then circle the places he hadn’t found, but he couldn’t get this brush It moved, as if it was glued to the pen holder.
Feng Kun didn't believe in evil, and tried his best to move the brush, but there was a booming sound from the bookshelf behind him, and he trembled in fright.
Turning around, he saw the bookshelf behind him move away, revealing a small door, and he twitched the corner of his mouth excitedly.
It turned out that the secret was hidden here, and he finally found it!
Feng Kun took the candle and carefully went to the darkroom.
I groped all the way in and saw a few mahogany boxes hidden inside. I was overjoyed that there was indeed money!
Immediately, he called his personal servant, and the two of them moved out the mahogany boxes one by one.
Looking at the dust on the boxes, one can probably guess that these boxes should have been in here for more than a month.
Feng Kun wiped off the dust with a handkerchief, and then directly pried open the copper lock.
The moment the box was opened, he opened his eyes without blinking, and his eyes couldn't hide his expectation and excitement.
"Gold, it really is gold!" Feng Kun picked up two gold ingots and burst out laughing excitedly.
He didn't expect his cheapskate father to hide so many gold ingots in the secret room!
"My lord, let's quickly move these boxes of gold ingots away." The servant reminded.
Feng Kun nodded, "Move away, move away, we will take them with us when we go to Jiangzhou."
So much gold is enough for them to return to Jiangzhou to live a good life!
However, just as they moved a few boxes of gold out of the study, they ran into Jun Qinghan dressed in crimson purple.
Feng Kun trembled in fright, his hands suddenly loosened, and the mahogany box he was carrying fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Mur... Young Master Murong?"
Bailihe glanced at the frightened Feng Kun, and chuckled, "It's really thanks to Mr. Feng that we were able to find these counterfeit coins so quickly."
"What... what counterfeit money, I don't understand, these things are all left to me by my father." Feng Kun said without confidence.
Jun Qinghan winked, and the servant beside him stepped forward to open several mahogany boxes and counted the number of gold ingots inside.
"Back to Lord Hou, the total is 9 taels!"
Jun Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Feng is just the governor of Jingzhou. He has always been heard that he is an upright official. After ten years in office, can he accumulate such a rich family business?"
Feng Kun opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Bai Lihe, "9 taels is not the point, the point is that these gold ingots are fake, and half of them are mixed with brass!"
In Donglin, whether it is copper coins, gold ingots, or silver ingots, they are all made by the Qianjian, and private casting is not allowed. Once found, it will be a felony of beheading!
"The Marquis discovered in Yanshan that someone mined a private mine to mint counterfeit coins, and now he found the counterfeit coins in the Governor's Mansion. The evidence is convincing!" Jun Qinghan ordered in a deep voice, "Come here, take these gold ingots!"
"No, this is not a counterfeit coin, it is left to me by my father..." Feng Kun hurriedly went to protect the mahogany box containing the gold ingots.
"Mr. Feng, you said that these counterfeit coins were left to you by Governor Feng, so you also knew about the counterfeit coins?" Bai Lihe tentatively asked.
"This……"
"Mr. Feng, you have to know that forging counterfeit coins will be decapitated!"
Feng Kun suddenly knelt on the ground in fright, "I... I don't know, I don't know anything, but these gold ingots..."
He managed to find out the private money his father hid, and now it's handed over to others, how could he be willing?
"Mr. Feng, think about it clearly, speak carefully and slowly, if you accidentally make a mistake, you will lose your head." Bai Lihe threatened with a smile.
Feng Kun's face changed drastically, horror flashed across his eyes, he gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "I don't know about these gold ingots, if you want them, you can take them." Although Feng Kun was unwilling, but more of it was fear.
The ruthless man in front of him is really going to kill him!
Bai Lihe was very satisfied with Feng Kun's appearance, leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, with a friendly face, "Being so honest earlier, wouldn't I be spared my slobber?"
Jun Qinghan glanced at Feng Kun lightly, and ordered sharply, "Move these boxes away!"
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, Jun Qingye's voice sounded in the yard.
When everyone looked up, they saw Jun Qingye approaching, with a cold expression on his face.
"I don't know what the third prince is doing?"
"I heard that Murong found counterfeit coins, so I came here to have a look." Jun Qingye casually glanced at the mahogany boxes beside Feng Kun, "Are these gold ingots fake?"
Jun Qinghan nodded, "The third prince has something to say."
He knows Jun Qingye very well, he will come if there is nothing wrong.
