You Long Xi Feng

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The ransacking of the house was still going on, and the counted data was constantly being sent to Du Hao. Every time a copy was presented, his displeasure increased by one point.

How is this going?Although the whole Wu Mansion is magnificently decorated, it is an empty shell. After so many people counting it for so long, there is almost nothing except a few decorations on the scene that can be put on the table, and some jewelry in the rooms of the female relatives. valuables.

Then Wu Liangzhi is a well-known corrupt official, where did all the money go?

"Gu Zuo, what do you think?" Du Hao asked.

The person who was questioned was Gu Zuo, Hao's confidant. He had a handsome face and the appearance of a scholar. He had been with Du Hao for many years. "According to my subordinates, Wu Liangzhi was able to embezzle money and break the law for so many years without being caught. He is really not an idle person. Most of the money he collected was hidden by that old fox."

Du Hao nodded: "You really think the same as this king, it seems that we still have to go to the prison to meet that old fox!" He said, paced to the window, his gaze fell to the tree in the yard below, A small figure was squatting there, not knowing what to do.

Du Hao narrowed his eyes, remembering Song Luo who he met at the door just now, and changed the subject: "Gu Zuo, what do you think of Song Luo?"

"Forgive my subordinates to speak frankly, this person does not seem to be as young and talented as the rumors. Looking at his behavior, he is like a market person, greedy for money, lustful, illiterate, foolish, and uneducated."

"Do you think so?" Du Hao's eyes suddenly became more profound, "Then you know that Song Luo just let go of Wu Liang's wives and children, and I heard that they gave each of them a Severance pay of two silver coins."

"Oh?" Gu Zuo was taken aback, completely unexpected that the rascal-like character just now would do such a thing.

"I don't think Song Luo is that simple." Du Hao said to himself, and suddenly became interested in his brother-in-law.

"Go, Gu Zuo, let's go down and meet him."

At this moment, Lin Shan was still digging bark in the yard unconsciously.

The entanglement in her heart is that she is not willing to part with the golden ruyi in the room, and she is even more worried that Du Hao, who looks exactly the same as the wind, will make trouble for her.

Lin Shan, Lin Shan, you really shouldn't be open to money!Think about it with your brain, why did Lian Feng come here?Even if he came, he wouldn't take off that mask!Presumably the one I saw in the imperial garden that day must also be this prince.How can I be such an idiot, I have met him once, and I haven't realized that he and Lian Feng are two people!It's over, it's over, and he actually told the prince in front of him that Jin Ruyi would pay a fifty-fifty share. If he had known this, he would have put the whole thing in his hands...

The more Lin Shan thought about it, the more she regretted it. She vented her anger on the book cover, squatted beside the tree, and scratched vigorously with her nails, scolding: "What prince, you don't register your number first when you come in. You have no manners at all. Know how to cheat me, make me kneel for so long... I will kill you, I will kill you!" The poor bark was picked off in a pile, and it was piled pitifully at the feet.

At this moment, Du Hao and Gu Zuo were standing behind Lin Shan, their expressions were not very good, especially Du Hao, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Too..." Gu Zuo stepped forward.

Du Hao reached out his hand, stopped him, made a silent gesture, and walked a few steps towards Lin Shan who didn't know.

When she got closer, she could hear her cursing voice more and more clearly: "Don't think that you are powerful because you are a prince. You are a human being and not a ghost. Why do you stand behind others without saying a word? Return my Jin Ruyi!" , Give back my Jin Ruyi... I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" A large piece of bark was removed again, and a white strip of cloth was exposed from the gap where the bark was removed.

Huh?what is this!Lin Shan didn't think much about it, her fingernails grabbed the strip of cloth and pulled it out vigorously. With this force, the whole thing was pulled out!It is a very ordinary linen bag, and it seems to have something in it, which is quite thick...

this is?Before Lin Shan could react, a hand reached out and unceremoniously took the cloth bag from her hand.

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at the person's face again, her mind suddenly thumped. This time, she was not as slow to react as before, and said directly: "Your Highness, I know I'm wrong, Your Highness, I know I'm wrong!"

Du Hao ignored Lin Shan and beckoned Gu Zuo to come over.

"Look, what is this?"

Gu Zuo stepped forward to take a look, and found that the white linen bag contained a thick stack of silver notes of hundreds of taels, and this stack was at least tens of thousands of taels.

"Come here!" Du Hao ordered, "Cut down all these trees, I want to see how much this Wu can hide!"

The house raids in the Wu Mansion finally went a long way. From the cracks in a few trees in the Wu Mansion's yard, they found a bank note wrapped in white linen, which was a total of 300 million taels, which was equal to the annual income of the treasury.

As soon as the news came out, Wu Liangzhi, who was serving his sentence in prison, hit the wall directly before becoming a beggar.

Accompanying him to hit the wall was Lin Shan who found the banknote.I'll go, good you Du Hao!Big bastard!You robbed me of Jin Ruyi, but you also robbed me of my silver ticket, which I discovered first!Even if you don't want to give it to me, at least give it to me, as my labor fee for picking trees!
It's not hard for you to dig a tree!Picking trees is hard work, isn't it! /(ㄒoㄒ)/
After the case of Wu Liangzhi was confiscated, the emperor smiled and squinted his eyes. You must know that not every treasury can suddenly receive 300 million taels. The battle ahead has just been fought. It is impossible to say that there is no shortage of money, but it is just to stabilize the hearts of the people. It's just not announced to the outside world. Now the confiscated 300 million taels is just a timely rain. Can he be unhappy?
The emperor was happy and decided to reward the meritorious officials. In addition to Du Hao, Song Luo, the son-in-law, also made meritorious deeds in confiscating the house and gave them awards.

With a holy will, Lin Shan, who had been depressed for the past few days, finally had some hope. She thought that she had finally paid off by digging the tree, but she didn't know that the emperor gave her an official position, and promoted her to two ranks. She was transferred to the censor, who was in charge of supervision. In this way, Lin Shan not only did not get any benefits, but also suddenly became an official who had to do things. She almost cried while holding the imperial decree.

I said, Your Majesty, it is so unkind of you to do this!

"Xiaolu, help me find out what reward the prince has received?"

"You don't need to inquire about the son-in-law. Rumors spread in the palace. It is said that the emperor gave the prince a thousand taels of silver, ten good horses, a cart of silk and satin, and a pair of golden flowers inlaid with gold gems. I heard that Ruyi was copied from Wu Liang's house. from."

What? !Hearing that Ruyi, Lin Shan was completely angry, and slammed the table: "Xiaolu, I've decided!"

"My son-in-law, what do you decide?"

"I want revenge!"

Xiaolu: "...how do you plan to report?"

"I...I...go to find Lianfeng!" Lin Shan stood up from the stool, if you rob me of Jin Ruyi, I will dig a scandal about you!I still believe it, the two people look exactly the same and there is no inside story!Even if there is no insider story, I'd better step on that face that looks exactly the same to calm down!
In this way, Lin Shan went to "revenge" Lian Feng.
