(From now on, there are three chapters every day, two chapters in the morning, and one chapter at 7 a.m.)
Yes, these aristocratic families also had ideas. I don’t know if it was to prevent theft or something else. The silver was cast into silver bricks the size of stones. Wang Xuan tried it out. The weight of a single brick was 200 kilograms...
It's really impossible to steal this thing. If you are an ordinary person, just moving out of the cellar will be exhausting you. Unless you are a first-class expert, otherwise, you can't afford it and can't run away. It's too heavy.
After a rough count, such a big silver brick costs more than 1,300 yuan, which works out to more than 2.6 million taels of silver. I looked at the gold brick next to it. It is bigger than the silver brick, and it weighs just one piece.
It weighs 400 kilograms, who the hell can steal it...
All kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were worth more than 3.4 million taels, which made Wang Xuan secretly stunned.
This... really has Chinese characteristics. Rich people can save money...
However, it is normal to calculate. The Wang family has a history of more than 200 years. On average, they only save more than 10,000 taels of silver a year. In fact, it is not much. After all, it takes too long!
If the Wang family has so much money, then the other Sun family is not much different. The two families combined have more than 7 million cars of property. If all the seven aristocratic families are confiscated by him, then... he will be rich!
Sure enough, confiscating homes is the fastest way to make a fortune.
Fortunately, Wang Xuan sent a big ship, otherwise, there would be no way to transport the silver back.
"Master, we are back." Following the voice, Tian Boguang and Ye Huo walked in from outside the yard, covered in the smell of blood.
"You haven't met any masters in the manor outside the city, right?" But Wang Xuan was worried that there were masters outside the city, so he sent the two of them out to take charge.
"No."
"The top ones are two second-rate guys, they were hacked to death as soon as I hit them."
"Well, that's fine." Wang Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "You just happened to be back, so let's go to the guard post and the commander's residence. After drinking the blood of soldiers for so many years, it's time to die for the country. Send
Let them hit the road!"
"Okay!" Tian Boguang agreed, Ye Huo just nodded, and they set off again this time with only twenty people each.
The murder did not take much time, but transporting the property was extremely troublesome. Heavy carriages were pulled out from the two mansions and sent to the port, going back and forth more than a dozen times. It was not until noon that all the carriages were completed.
Wang Xuan's actions were fair and aboveboard, and all the people in Xinghua Prefecture saw them clearly, but not a single person was seen on the street. Everyone hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. After all, the 'Japanese pirates' had entered the city.
, all the members of the two major families were killed.
Of course, the other smaller families in the city could see clearly that those 'Sky Braids' were obviously 'Japanese pirates' in disguise, but no one dared to say it, and they had little to do with themselves, so they were too full to mind their own business.
.
Besides, these two big families were wiped out and so much property was left. No matter how domineering Wang Xuan was, he would still give out some soup and water for everyone to soak up the rain and dew!
Thinking of expanding their family business, even those aristocratic families who have close friendships with the two major families can't help but be secretly happy.
Just watching the carts of property being transported, these people's eyes turned red with envy while they were guessing how much property Wang Xuan had plundered from the two families.
When they arrived at the pier, Wang Xuan directly asked Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang to sit on the boat. After all, money touches people's hearts. It would be bad if someone who wanted money rather than their lives had their thoughts twisted. Wang Xuan would never test them.
Human.
As for Liu Zhengfeng, his family are all in Fuzhou City. Even if he has bad intentions, he still has the courage to abandon his family!
After watching them set off on the boat, Wang Xuan turned around and said hello, and then set off again with the large army and headed straight for Quanzhou Prefecture.
…
Quanzhou Prefecture, the Lin family mansion.
At this time, the experts sent by the Lin family had also rushed back in a panic. The news of the failed assassination of Wang Xuan made the entire Lin family panic. At this moment, all the senior leaders of the Lin family were gathering together to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone already knows the news. Let's talk about it. How will our Lin family respond?"
"If you fail, you will fail. How dare that boy named Wang do anything to our Lin family." A clan elder curled his lips and said with some disdain.
"That is, before the Ming Dynasty, our Lin family was established in Fujian. For more than three hundred years, there are no people of ours in Fujian. From the imperial censor and minister in the capital to local officials, the relationship between our Lin family over the years has been
The net is so dense that Wang Xuan still dares to touch a hair of ours!"
"You're right, do you think of us as the King of Tang? In the court, no one mentions him as King Tang, but our Lin family is different. If the man named Wang dares to go too far, then we will overthrow him.
I want to see if he dares to fight with our Lin family and we will lose both sides."
A clan elder did not agree with this view. He coughed lightly and said, "That's not true. If we really fight to the death of both sides, it will be of no benefit to any of our families. Why should we do this?"
Everyone agrees with this. This is the so-called 'gold mean'. They don't want something like this that is not good for both parties to happen.
The head of the Lin family nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.
"Let's find an intermediary to communicate with this Wang Xuan. First, let's show our strength in the court and talk about how powerful we are. In addition, we can pay some money to apologize. It's best for everyone to live in peace. His surname is Wang.
I want to be the uncrowned king of Fujian, how can I not want to go through any hardships? This time he has shown his strength. The seven of us can be submissive and push him to take charge."
"Why? Why should he, a mere brat, author the King of Fujian!"
"Yes, he deserves it!"
The clan elder's statement of 'King of Fujian' made everyone present unhappy. Although Fujian was previously said to have seven aristocratic families at the top, so to speak, among the seven aristocratic families, the Lin family has the highest status, so they said 'King of Fujian'
It's not too much. Even when the governor takes office, he must be the first to visit their Lin family.
The Lin family has also produced high-ranking officials and cabinet ministers. Although they have no one at the highest level in recent years, they still have contact with senior officials of the six ministries and cabinet ministers, and they can still talk to each other.
"Dong dong dong!"
The head of the Lin family knocked on the table, and everyone became quiet.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Is being the 'King of Fujian' a good name? You must know the principle of a big tree attracting wind. Before, my Lin family was too strong. This way, it will make the younger members of the family sober up and save some money."
You are acting too ostentatiously!"
As soon as the head of the family spoke, the people below him could not say anything. Even if they had any dissatisfaction, they could only suppress it in their hearts. In fact, even the head of the Lin family was unhappy in his heart, but his strength was there. As the head of the family, he
Must stay awake.
Taking a deep breath, the head of the Lin family continued to ask: "The Dexing clan always thinks that how much silver our seven families can give can satisfy Wang Xuan's appetite."
After thinking for a moment, the elder said: "Each family is worth three hundred thousand, not two million. It is probably difficult to impress the boy named Wang. Judging from his behavior, you can tell that he is a man with a big appetite."
"What, so many!"
As soon as this figure came out, the people of the Lin family exploded again. Although everyone did not know how much property the family had, everyone still knew the concepts of three hundred thousand taels and two million taels. They were all pure money.
Why take out so much at once?
"This is absolutely not possible. The most...the most I can get is ten thousand taels!" A clan boss jumped up, flexing his teeth and claws as if his whole family had died. "Promoting him to be the 'King of Fujian' is enough to give this little brat face."
Yes, why did you spend so much money?"
The head of the Lin family narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other party. Why don't you take 10,000 yuan? Are you sending the beggar away or scolding him?
"That's right, that's right, which group are you from? You always say good things to that man named Wang, as if our Lin family is afraid of him!"
"You fart..."
"If that boy named Wang dares to ask for so much, I will fight him to the death!"
It is said that good money is hard to give away. Because of the issue of how much money to take, a group of people kept arguing in the room.
At this time, the housekeeper hurried to the door of the meeting hall and shouted: "Master, there is someone outside asking to see you, saying that there is something important to report to the head of the family?"
The clan elder who was quarreling angrily turned his head and shouted: "Who is so ignorant that you let him wait and didn't see that the clan was discussing important matters?"
"This..." The housekeeper was also in a dilemma for a moment. The man said it was a matter of life and death for the Lin family, otherwise he would not have disturbed the family's discussion.
"You old dog, why are you still here?"
"Okay!" The head of the Lin family glared at the scolding clan elder, feeling really upset. This butler had been with him for decades and knew his priorities. He would never bother him unless something important happened.
"Butler, did that man say something?"
"As I said, it's a matter of life and death for our Lin family." The butler lowered his head and said.
"Tch, I hate this kind of bluffing. He is always ready to die. You have to wait for him to save his life. Get him out. Get him out."
"Forget it, please come in." The head of the Lin family rubbed his head, he was completely fed up with these clan elders.
The housekeeper quickly retreated, and not long after, a middle-aged man who looked normal was invited in.
He has neither the spirit of immortality nor the appearance of a worldly expert, and he is dressed in ordinary clothes. He is clearly a farm boy. How can a person like this, who would not be seen in person on the street, know such important things.
Even the head of the Lin family couldn't help but frown.
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. Once you've finished speaking, you'll get the reward and get out of here. You're just pretending to be cheating and don't even change your clothes!" A clan elder said with a very rude glance at the man.
The man's face was livid with anger. If he hadn't been thinking about completing the task assigned by his master, he would have turned around and left immediately.
"You, the Lin family, don't even know that a disaster is coming..."
"Are you wearing this outfit again? Are we going to say: 'Sir, please save me!'? Then you have to dress like a gentleman!"
"..."
The man was so angry that he almost choked to death.
