The emperor was very angry, and the emperor was very angry.

Just after lunch.

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng suddenly received an order from Qianhu Liu Fengping.

"Your Majesty has ordered that Xu Kun attacked Jinyiwei at night, and his crime is unforgivable. You two are ordered to go to Xu's mansion and take down all the family members of Xu's mansion and wait for their fate."

A fifth-rank official like Xu Kun does not need an order.

It only needs to be passed on orally.

Only officials of the fourth rank and above will carry the imperial edict when their homes are confiscated.

After hearing this, Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng happily took people to search their homes.

Many people on the road saw the aggressive Jinyiwei collectively dispatched, and they immediately guessed about 70% of the situation in their hearts.

"Which direction are the Jinyiwei heading? It seems that another official is going to have his property confiscated."

"Yes, once the Jinyiwei moves, there is no chance of survival. I don't know what crime he has committed this time, or whether he has been wrongly accused."

Li Cheng and others turned a deaf ear to the people's discussions.

It's just that they have done too many things.

There were many officials whose property was confiscated in ancient dynasties, and there were a few of them every year.

And they were all executed by the Jinyiwei.

This Xu Kun was so bold that even if the charge of colluding with the Dragon God Cult was suppressed, he openly assassinated the Jinyiwei and was caught red-handed, which was also a serious crime of treason.

Taking his family first was a light punishment, and it was estimated that his three clans would be exterminated later.

Arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion.

The Xu family should not have received the news of Xu Kun's arrest.

There were two servants guarding the door.

The two servants looked at the Jinyiwei and their faces turned pale with fear.

He asked tremblingly: "Who... who are you? Don't you know that this is the residence of the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department!"

No one paid any attention. Looking at the imposing gate of the mansion, Li Cheng couldn't help cursing: "Damn, this old guy deserved to die. He must have been corrupt over the years. He is a fifth-rank official, but his family is more imposing than some fourth-rank officials."

Lin Tao took the lead: "Sir, I'll break the door."

After saying that, he drew out the Embroidered Spring Knife and shouted at the two servants: "In accordance with the order of His Majesty, search the Xu Mansion, and those who resist will die!"

Then, he circulated his true energy and split the door of the Xu Mansion with a knife.

Li Cheng waved his hand: "Surround the Xu Mansion, and don't let a fly escape!"

"Yes!"

The Jinyiwei under his command had already been thirsty and rushed into the Xu Mansion with their knives drawn.

The servants and servants of the Xu Mansion had heard the movement when Lin Tao broke the door.

They had never seen such a scene before, and they were so scared that they all collapsed to the ground, not daring to resist.

Li Cheng and Ye Beixuan dismounted and strolled in Xu's house.

When they entered the backyard, they were blocked.

They saw a fat woman weighing more than 200 pounds, dressed in gorgeous clothes, supported by two maids, coming out of the backyard with great momentum.

Many servants of Xu's house followed her.

The fat woman pinched her waist and pointed at the Jinyiwei and cursed: "You bunch of damned people, do you know who my husband is?! You actually came to my Xu's house and acted presumptuous, it must be that His Majesty made a wrong order! You wait, wait for my husband to come back, and I will never forgive you!"

The Jinyiwei were also a little stunned for a while, they were all the lowest Jinyiwei strongmen.

Killing those servants was okay, but this fat woman should be Xu Kun's wife, and they didn't dare to kill her without orders.

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng heard the voice and walked over quickly.

The fat woman didn't know where she got the courage from. Maybe she was used to being high and mighty. When she spoke, the Jinyiwei didn't dare to move.

She immediately shouted at Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng: "You two are the leaders of these bastards? Get out of my Xu Mansion!"

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng looked at each other and laughed at that time: "Beixuan, you come and I come?"

Ye Beixuan waved his hand: "Uncle Li, you know, I usually don't hit women."

Li Cheng nodded and walked to the side of the fat woman. The fat woman didn't hear the conversation between the two and wanted to say something.

She was hit directly in the face by Li Cheng's scabbard. Her weight of more than 200 pounds was a joke in front of Li Cheng.

Half of her face was broken, and her mouth was full of broken teeth. She lay on the ground screaming.

Li Cheng waved his hand lightly: "Take it away."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the Jinyiwei came forward and took the fat woman away.

Seeing this, the other servants quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Li Cheng did not make things difficult for these people.

He just ordered them to be taken back to the Jinyiwei.

They all

It was a servant. Generally, after an official's house was searched, the servants would be sent back, and there was no danger to their lives.

Without the obstruction of the fat woman, the Jinyiwei also rushed into the backyard quickly.

This time the house search lasted for more than half an hour.

But the result was not ideal.

Several Jinyiwei strongmen reported to Li Cheng with a somewhat ugly look: "General Flag, the Xu Mansion has been searched almost, but a total of only 300 taels of gold and 13,000 taels of silver were found, and there were only three or five antiques and calligraphy and paintings."

Hearing this.

Li Cheng frowned immediately.

It only added up to 20,000 taels of silver. Such a fortune does not seem to be small. Ordinary fifth-rank officials may not have so much savings.

But the problem is that Xu Kun is the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Bureau!

With this little property, he can't even afford one-tenth of his house!

"Have you ever been in the secret room?"

Ye Beixuan asked.

"Reporting to the Lord, we found two secret rooms in Xu Kun's house, but no gold or silver."

"This guy hid it quite well."

Li Cheng snorted coldly, naturally not believing that Xu Kun's house only had these things.

It must have not been found yet.

"Keep searching! Search every corner, I don't believe that there is still a place that our Jinyiwei can't find!"

"Yes!"

The strong men answered, and everyone went to search again.

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng were also ready to go out in person.

"Brother Ye, Uncle Li, there is a secret room here!"

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng, who were searching, heard Lin Tao's shout.

The two looked at each other and went in the direction of Lin Tao.

The location of this secret room is very inconspicuous. It is not in Xu Kun's room, but built in the basement of an abandoned warehouse.

"Damn it, this Xu Kun is quite good at hiding, but he still can't hide it from my eyes."

Lin Tao cursed complacently.

"Okay, stop bragging and open this secret room."

Ye Beixuan kicked the kid.

Lin Tao didn't dare to delay, and searched around in the warehouse and found the entrance to the secret room.

Just twist it.

Crack--

A huge stone slab on the ground slowly opened.

Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng jumped directly into the secret room.

The secret room was not big, only four or five feet.

There were six or seven night pearls hanging on the walls on both sides.

And in the center, there were five boxes half a person's height.

Lin Tao swung his knife and cut the lock of one of the boxes.

Then he opened the box.

The moment the box was opened, a golden light came out of the secret room.

After seeing the things in the box.

Even Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng widened their eyes.

"Fuck...so much gold...this is fucking, is this old guy selling his ass?"

Lin Tao was even more shocked and opened his mouth.

The box was filled with golden ingots!

Each ingot weighed ten taels.
