Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 371
More than a dozen guards took off their official boots, covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, carried shovels and picks, and jumped into the latrine one after another.

Pang Shangpeng held his nose and asked He Liu: "Master Liu, do you suspect that there are gold and silver treasures buried in this latrine? You can't put them away. If the gold and silver treasures are buried in this pickled place, they will all stink."

Master Chen Chang persuaded Pang Shangpeng: "Dong Weng, Mr. He ordered people to do this, there is his own reason."

He Liudao: "You two, let's go outside and wait. These old feces are lumpy on the top, but the bottom is extremely stinking. I'm about to vomit."

The three of them got out of the hut.Each took a big breath.

He Liudao: "Pang Nietai, when you go back today, you have to reward the dozen or so guards who entered the latrine with ten taels of silver each. I guess they will have to soak in the bath all night to wash off the stench."

Pang Shangpeng turned his head and told Chen Chang: "Did you hear what the sixth master said? Go back and pay the money from the account of the back office, and reward each of them with ten taels of silver."

After a few sticks of incense, the yamen servants in the latrine shouted: "The superior, Mr. Taiwan, have found something!"

He Liu followed Pang Shangpeng and Chen Chang into the hut.

I saw that more than half of the dung in the cesspit had been dug out.Under the dung, there is a huge wooden board.The guards struggled to lift the wooden boards away, and there were five or six huge wooden boxes under the wooden boards.

The yamen servant who urinated with He Liu just now shouted, "Sir, these big wooden boxes are too heavy. We can't lift them out of the cesspit because we can't use our strength!"

He Liudao: "This is easy to handle! Come here, find some big axes. Just break open the wooden box. Just throw the things in the box up!"

Not long after, several guards in brocade clothes under He Liu found two mountain axes, hung them with ropes, and gave them to the yamen servants in the cesspit.

Stepping on the pit full of excrement, two big-armed yamen servants rounded their elbows and ruthlessly smashed the large wooden boxes with mountain axes.

The large wooden box was split open several large slits.In an instant, the silver light was dazzling!
In five or six large wooden boxes, there are actually 20 taels of silver curds!
The yamen servants in the cesspit picked up the silver locks from the wooden box and threw them on the ground.He Liu, Pang Shangpeng, and Chen Chang also didn't care about their dignity, and led a few guards in brocade clothes, and picked up the silver thrown up from below on the ground.

After working in the hut for more than an hour, all the silver in the wooden box finally saw the light of day.

He Liulue counted, then turned to Pang Shangpeng and said, "Pang Nietai, here is about [-] silver."

Pang Shangpeng was overjoyed: "The sixth master's method is better. You can get 5 taels of silver out of soaking in urine. After working for a long time, let's go for a walk, go out for a cup of tea, calm down, and then continue to search the house."

He Liu spread his hands and said, "My Pang Niantai. Before drinking tea, we should always wash our hands! Our hands are stained with feces."

After finishing speaking, He Liu and Pang Shangpeng looked at each other and laughed.

Everyone washed their hands and came to the hall of Fangfu.Pang Shangpeng ordered people to make tea.

He Liu asked while drinking tea: "I have seen Pang Nietai's resume in Jinyiwei's backup file. If I remember correctly, you were a Jinshi and Die in the 32nd year of Jiajing?"

Pang Shangpeng said with a smile: "Six Lord, I am the gold list in the 32 years of Jiajing. But I am not a Jinshi, but a fellow Jinshi. If I was a Jinshi, I would have entered the Imperial Academy as a Shuji scholar. At least I will be released now." A governor, or a minister in the capital. I am a county magistrate, inspector censor, and magistrate, step by step an inspector."

He Liu nodded: "So that's the case. By the way, you are from the South China Sea, right? In this way, you and Brother Gangfeng are fellow villagers."

Pang Shangpeng said with a smile: "When Mr. Hai was the governor of Yingtian, I was his prefect. He hated officials forming cliques in the name of fellowship. That's why I dare not go out and say that I am from Nanhai."

He Liudao: "Oh, Brother Gangfeng is good everywhere. It's just that he is too unreasonable in his behavior. However, there is nothing to say about his honesty and self-preservation."

Chen Chang said from the side: "Master Hai is upright and upright, and he has been regarded as a god by the people of Yingtian City! Master He doesn't know about it. The people of Ming Dynasty posted the door gods for the new year. In the past, they used Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde. The people of Yingtian celebrate the New Year now. The door god posted is Marshal Qi Jiguang, Lord Hai Rui!"

He Liu was full of emotions when he heard the words: "Oh, how an official is doing is not something that you and I can conclude with a few words after dinner. Only ordinary people can fairly evaluate an official's right and wrong, merits and demerits. Although Hai Rui was in trouble as an official in Yingtian, the common people love him. Unfortunately, in the end, he still didn't learn the tricks in the officialdom, and was pushed out of his job. In other words, if he learns to understand the officialdom With that trick, Hai Rui is no longer Hai Rui."

The three of them were talking in unison.He Liuyi looked up and suddenly found a huge beam in the hall.

He Liu stood up: "The tea is almost done. We should do some work. Come and have a look on the beam."

Pang Shangpeng asked: "Master Liu, is there something strange about this beam?"

He Liu nodded: "Well, I'm standing under this beam, and I can smell the smell of gold and silver."

Pang Shangpeng asked in surprise: "The taste of gold and silver? The sixth master was joking, how can gold and silver taste like that?"

He Liu smiled and said nothing.

Several servants climbed the ladder to the beam.This beam is as thick as two arms.The guard found that there were several large wooden wedges on the upward side of the beam!
The guard shouted to the people under the beam: "My lords, stay away. This beam seems to be hollow! The two semicircles were wedged together with a wooden wedge. We pulled out the wooden wedge, and the upper half of the beam It will fall, be careful not to hit you!"

He Liu and the others stepped aside when they heard the words.

The men on the beams pulled out the wooden wedges. "Crack", the beam on the upper side suddenly fell into the hall.A table and two chairs were smashed.

After half of the beam fell to the ground, there was a "crash", and countless little golden pebbles fell from the beam!In the hall, it began to rain golden scorpions.

It turned out that this hollow beam was stuffed with golden keys!

After some inspection, there are 3000 ingots of gold zizi hidden in the beam.A total of 3 taels, equivalent to [-] taels of silver.

Several guards went down the ladder to the ground, and the guard who was peeing in the hut with He Liu just now turned his head and was about to leave the hall.

But He Liu stopped him: "What are you doing?"

The officer stammered and replied, "No, I don't do anything. I, I'll go out and find a few wooden boxes to hold the golden scorpions."

Without further ado, He Liu grabbed the guard's wrist, and found a ten tael gold coin from the hidden pocket of his robe sleeve.

He Liu smiled and said, "What kind of cleverness are you playing in front of me? Your sixth master, my nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose when it meets gold and silver!"

Pang Shangpeng hurriedly said: "Bold! How dare you hide the dirty money that was confiscated! Come on, lock it up for me."

He Liu waved his hand: "Forget it! Who wouldn't be greedy when they see Huang Chengcheng's gold? Seeing that he and I have had a relationship, just now he went into the cesspit again and dug for a long time. I will spare him this time." Bar."
