I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 943 The Exhausted Ma Dazhong
Once the organ is opened, it is almost impossible for those in the secret passage to survive.

Knowing that they are bound to die.

Although Ma Dazhong was a little sad for a while, he immediately calmed down again.

For him, as long as his money is still there, he still has everything, and if his subordinates are gone, he can find them again!
talent?This world is full of talents, as long as you can afford it, you will not be able to find any kind of helper.

He is still very confident in the ultimate mechanism of the treasure house.

It never occurred to him that Xuanwu Lake was completely emptied for an hour or two.

Even though he knew that his treasure was still in the treasury, there was no one to do it and no money to do what he was eager to do now.

Moreover, he actually has no clue as to whether this sudden attack was done by someone.

Although his first thought might be that the prince's people messed up.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

First of all, the only manpower that the prince can use is the soldiers on that battleship.

Not to mention, when the incident happened, someone saw with their own eyes that quite a few officers and soldiers on the fleet were busy all night.

In other words, these soldiers are only a little stronger than ordinary soldiers, and they don't have that strong combat effectiveness at all. It is impossible to beat the guards that they have carefully selected.

You must know that there are more than a hundred people, but he hired them for ten taels of silver a month.

Joining this group of people requires more than 1000 taels a month, and 1 taels a year.

This was enough to feed the elite army of hundreds of people in the imperial court, but he only used it to feed a hundred people.

It is because each of them does not say that one is against ten, one is against five, but they can barely do it, but they are much better than the soldiers of the imperial court.

Thinking that the information he had was limited, he didn't even know that the total number of people who were the main force this time was only 30 people.

Moreover, only twenty or so of them beat his elites so that they were powerless to fight back.

Ma Dazhong has been in charge of Nanjing's garrison for so many years, and he still knows the fighting power of Ming's army very well. In his opinion, even if Chen Hong's hundreds of people stormed his manor together, as long as they don't use cannons, it is impossible to break through.

That's why he doubted Zhu Zhanji for a little bit, and then gave up the idea.

It's just another group of people who don't deal with themselves, and they are messing up.

But who this person is, he has no idea for a while.

Although he immediately asked his confidants to investigate as soon as possible.

But these things are not the most important.

What he is most anxious about now is to get in touch with Hun Jianglong as soon as possible, and let him take advantage of tomorrow's rare opportunity to shut up Zhu Zhanji, who is very likely to make him lose everything, forever.

But now his two most trusted subordinates, Cao Ran and Wang Cheng, were submerged in the secret way at the same time.

It seemed like no one else could do it except himself.

But the problem is, with Hun Jianglong's current swollen heart, even if he comes in person, if he doesn't have money in hand, he probably won't be able to persuade him to help him.

Therefore, Ma Dazhong became cruel and ordered people to pack up all the money, treasures, arty celebrity calligraphy and paintings in his current residence.

Even collecting some silver that hadn't had time to be put into the warehouse and dealing with daily expenses, it was just barely 6 to [-] taels.

The money is not even half the value of ten thousand taels of gold.

And these things are miscellaneous, including bank notes, silver ingots, broken silver, calligraphy and painting, and antiques.

It's also visually unimpressive.

Hun Jianglong and his gang are just pirates, not officials or literati.

Money is what attracts them the most.

What's the use of these antique calligraphy and paintings, are they used as decorations?
It was precisely because he knew the preferences of Hun Jianglong and his gang that Ma Dazhong asked Cao Ran and Cao Ran to prepare gold to persuade them to make a move.

But now, all the gold is buried under the water and cannot be retrieved for a while.

He can only use these broken things to make up the number.

Tired people pack these things.

In the end, a dozen boxes, large and small, were produced.

Going to negotiate with Hun Jianglong should have been a very confidential matter.

These ten or so boxes require at least 20 people just to carry them.

When the time comes, a large group of people will pass by, and those who don't know may think that they are coming to attack their water village.

But there is no way, who told him that he can only make up these things at present.

After finishing all this, he hurried to the manor and checked the situation himself.

Seeing that, as the guards said, the treasure house was flooded.

He didn't say much.

In fact, with his shrewdness and carefulness, he could have noticed something wrong.

But because he has too many things to do tonight, just the Prince's matter alone has made him run out of skills.

It just so happened that at this time his two most trusted subordinates were gone.

He was in a state of confusion for a moment, and it was normal that he failed to find anything unusual.

He left a few confidantes behind to supervise the group of people to deal with the matter of the treasure house, and then he left in a hurry.

After visiting several powerful officials and nobles who might help him at critical moments overnight, and promised them many benefits, he returned to his residence exhausted physically and mentally.

It was almost dawn at this time, and he had to get up early in the morning to lobby Hun Jianglong in person, so he didn't even have time to rest.

On weekdays, Cao Ran and Wang Cheng were responsible for these matters. Now that they are gone, he realizes that he has to deal with everything by himself, which can exhaust people to death.

At this time, he felt a little nostalgic, it was time for the two of them to be together.

At the same time, what are Cao Ran and Wang Cheng, who are thought to be dead, doing.

Naturally, Wang Cheng needless to say, he was packing his luggage, packing all his wealth secretly, and was preparing to leave Nanjing City to avoid the limelight.

And after Cao Ran was brought back, he remained silent and didn't say a word, just staring blankly at the night sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cao Ran was both desperate and angry at the moment.

The prince and the others robbed the sky and emptied all of Ma Dazhong's wealth at once, which was tantamount to cutting off his roots completely, making him no longer have any hope of making a comeback.

Hun Jianglong and the others, who could have reversed this situation, have also cut off the possibility of continuing to cooperate with the father-in-law because they have no way to send the gold there.

It can be said that the only person he can count on now is gone.

The only thing he can do now, apart from praying, is indeed nothing to do.
