0504 Small officials and huge corruption

Zhao Guanren didn't have any big pursuits or special hobbies in his life. Basically, whatever the working people are pursuing, he is also thinking in his mind, so he can live a simple life and bleed and sweat, but he has to be allowed to show off. If he has money and horses, he will definitely

Show it up and let the world know.

"My lord! Are you sure you don't want the people to shun you and not let the guards clear the way..."

Song Chizhu folded his big sleeves and looked confused. The originally quiet street was already overcrowded. Ever since the Jingdu Guards sealed off a house here, everyone knew that this was Tian's father-in-law's outer house. They had always been curious about how to get out of Tian's house.

How much silver was found in Chitose's house?

"I've been holding it in for ten days. No one is around to watch me show it to anyone..."

Zhao Guanren stood at the street corner waving a white paper fan, wearing a black silver-embroidered brocade gown with arrow sleeves and waist-shaping style, a jade belt around his waist, silver cloud cowhide boots, and a large gold chain around his neck.

There are four words written on the big gold medal of the pendant - There is someone in the sky!

"Wow! There are so many carriages here, how much Tian Chitose has been greedy for..."

A large number of melon-eaters exclaimed when they saw more than a dozen carriages driving up the street, followed by several small sedans. All female guards were guarding on both sides, and a large number of maids in gauze followed the carriages.

Scatter flowers along the way.

"Huh? This is a move, not a house raid..."

The people who were eating melons were all stunned again. After the long motorcade stopped, a large group of women came down unexpectedly. Each one was dressed in silk and satin, with elegant temperament, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and plump figure.

Yanshou has all styles.

"Wow!!!"

The common people had never seen so many beauties. They thought that the maids were already very beautiful, and they all marveled that these were fairies who came down from the sky. The key is that each of them had a small gold chain and a big gold medal around their neck. The golden light shone all the way, and it was so compelling.

The trench air soared straight into the sky.

"Good luck to you!"

Nearly twenty beauties came forward together, carrying hundreds of maids and curtsying. Only then did everyone realize that the big slut in the middle of the road was actually the master of these little fairies. For a while, some were envious, some were flattering and respectful.

Among them, there are even more disdainful and resentful people.

"Let's go! Search the house..."

Zhao Guanren was very satisfied with the reaction of passers-by. He coquettishly led the women to the side road. In fact, the carriage could drive to the entrance of the courtyard, but he just wanted to let people know that he had more money, more cars, and more women.

, not letting him show off is like walking at night in brocade clothes, you have to suffocate him to death.

"There are so many people, I'm so nervous..."

"Stand straight and be careful not to make people laugh..."

The empress and maidservants who came out of the palace were surrounded by the common people for the first time. On the surface, they were as proud as little swans, but in fact they felt very guilty in their hearts. However, Bian Xianglan and other women were not much better. Who would have thought that as soon as they got off the sedan chair, they would be surrounded by so many people.

Attention.

"Empress! No, miss, the master asked me to come..."

suddenly!

A woman who looked like a servant jumped over, and the former Concubine Liu Xian quickly asked the guards to let her go.

"Third Miss!"

The woman squeezed over excitedly and said, "Madam, you are not in good health lately. I heard that Prince Zhao's Mansion received many fairy cards, so I wanted you to go back together to get rid of bad luck!"

"Oh~ This is all I have, it's still a third-class one, I want to leave it to my son..."

Concubine Liu Xian subconsciously covered the gold medal on her chest, only to see two lines of words engraved on it - Nine Heavens Wonderland, where the spirit can travel!

"You're stupid!"

Qian Guifei whispered: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today. Later you go kowtow to him and tell him that your mother is ill. We will help you hold off the sharp-tongued woman. You hug the master's legs and rub them, and say

I feel so happy, I’m sure I’ll reward you with another piece!”

"Hehe~ sisters! I've guaranteed the reward for the chamberlain this month..."

Concubine Liu Xian quickly took off the gold chain and handed it to the woman, saying: "Your hands are dirty! Don't touch the fairy cards with your hands. Go back and let my parents bathe and change clothes. After burning incense and worshipping, please come home and wear it when the sun is good."

When you see the sunshine, don’t let others snatch it away, our palace doesn’t have many fairy cards!”

"Thank you, miss! I will serve you carefully..."

The woman jumped out with joy. Under the escort of several servants, she held up the gold medal high in her hands to show off, causing a sensation in the whole street. It turned out that the big slut was Prince Yongshi.

The tacky gold medal is the legendary Tiangong Immortal Card.

"Miss..."

"Aunt! My mother asked me to come..."

"Big niece! Let me go quickly..."

As soon as the Zhao family and his entourage arrived in front of the house, the female family members were all pestered by their parents' families. Just like what Bian Xianglan said before, none of the women in their family came from a big family. It was easy to get rid of a few poor relatives. They wanted to be a big family.

It is the official's rich relatives who have the biggest headache.

"Bastards!"

Zhao Guanren closed his paper fan and said loudly: "Don't block the road to meet relatives. We are here to search the house for work, not to move. Please quickly invite the family to sit in the courtyard. We can search the house and reminisce about the past. We will be here at noon."

It’s time to eat in the courtyard!”

"Come in and sit down, this courtyard will belong to our family from now on..."

The women led their relatives into the courtyard. The eight-door courtyard with black tiles and white walls was considered a mansion in the capital, but it didn't look like much from the outside. At most, it was just a second-rate merchant's home, with an ordinary two-door courtyard.

, there is no right to put a lion or a unicorn in front of the door.

"Oh my god! Isn't this the Royal Garden? This old castrate is so brave..."

The ladies were shocked as soon as they entered the courtyard. No wonder the courtyard walls were much higher than ordinary people's homes. It turned out that there was actually a miniature version of the imperial garden inside. Except that there was no glorious palace, the layout was almost exactly the same as that in the palace. People who came out of the palace could tell at a glance.

Can be recognized.

"The old eunuch is addicted to spending time outside..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the door of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back. Ordinary homes usually have a "kou"-shaped courtyard. A courtyard with eight entrances is considered very large. Two "mou"-shaped structures are put together. There are eight entrances and exits in total.

A garden surrounds it.

"Come out, come out! Get out of here all..."

Song Chizhu kicked open the inner courtyard door aggressively, and a burst of exclamations immediately sounded in the courtyard. A large group of young women and girls came out, dressing up according to the palace rules, and kneeling neatly in the courtyard.

Kowtow and salute.

"Oh~ It turns out you are an old guy. You have eaten the right food and come outside the palace..."

Concubine Bai Shu and the other girls sneered and walked to the door. They saw a plump mature woman saying in horror: "Slave, I'm here to greet you ladies. I was returned from the palace last year. I was afraid of Mr. Tian's power and didn't dare to reveal the secret, so I was forced to help."

He takes care of the property!"

"It seems that Lao Tian's taste is quite normal and he doesn't look for men to have sex with..."

Zhao Guanren looked around and asked: "Where is the place where Lao Tian hides his treasures and silver taels? You do not belong to his family. When I seize this place, I will give you two hundred taels of severance pay each. Do you want to go?"

Anywhere is fine!”

"Sir! If you know something and fail to report it, you are all guilty of the same crime..."

Song Chizhu reminded: "These women are not slaves, and slaves cannot be sold to the master's family. After being confiscated, they will all be official slaves. If you don't want them, they can only be put into the teaching music workshop. If you are lucky, they will be bought away."

If you don't do well, you will be sent to the border to be married to a man wearing armor and become a concubine!"

"I can't ask for any more..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hands and said: "There are already too many women in my family, and these are all professionals in palace fighting. If you like them, you can take them all away. I will give each of them 500 taels of severance pay!"

"Your Highness! No one dares to take them in except you..."

Song Chizhu smiled bitterly and said: "Eunuch Tian is the person close to the emperor. If he tells the emperor's secrets to these women, once they enter my house and spread some rumors, wouldn't I be dead?"

If you really don’t want them, I’ll send them to a music studio!”

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Don't send us to the music studio. We have already found the stolen money..."

The mature woman stood up and took out a booklet from her arms, handed it over and said: "There is a basement in the inner house, which contains 6,800 taels of gold, 350,000 taels of silver in cash, and 683,000 taels of silver notes.

,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The rest of the rare treasures and houses and properties have been registered!"

"Wow! This old eunuch is so greedy..."

All the ladies were shocked, but Song Chizhu muttered: "Why is it only more than one million taels? If the rest of the things are sold off, it will only cost two or three hundred taels. How much can a Qing magistrate be greedy for?"

100,000, how did he get this?"

"Where is the basement? Lead me there and have a look..."

Zhao Guanren walked forward with his hands behind his back. The female relatives quickly placed their relatives in the garden and followed him into the inner house. The mature woman opened a secret door in the main room, revealing the passage leading to the basement, lighting up a

The oil lamp went down.

"Wow!!!"

The women followed and exclaimed in unison. It turned out that the entire inner courtyard had been hollowed out and was supported by more than a dozen large pillars, covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

All kinds of rare and rare treasures almost blinded their eyes. Gold, silver and jewelry were stacked in boxes upon boxes. Even precious ginseng was filled with a set of shelves. It was a huge treasure house.

"Master! Many of them are tribute treasures..."

Concubine Bai Shu stepped forward and said: "Look at those corals, wishful thinking and night-light pearls, etc. They are all things in the palace's collection of treasures. I don't know when he stole them out. If so many treasures were sold, there would be no one worth three to five hundred."

I can’t even get it back!”

"Wow! This fur coat is so beautiful..."

Bian Yulei suddenly jumped to the coat rack in excitement, hugging a mink coat and not letting go. Other women immediately swarmed over her, and the favored maids followed closely behind. They didn't care about gold and silver at all, only luxury accessories.

That's the pursuit.

"Open your little hands to get rich, and take as much as you can. The rest will be registered by the second lady. I will reward whoever is obedient later..."

Zhao Guanren walked forward with a smile. When the women heard this, they became even more crazy. They put fur coats on their bodies one by one. Aunt Luo relied on the strength of a martial artist to carry a large box of jewelry.

It's as scary as a spoils-sharing convention.

"Dong dong~"

Zhao Guanren walked to a pillar and knocked on it. He found that the soul-chasing eye could not see through the wooden pillar here, so he walked to the weapon rack and took a heaven-level sword. He stepped forward and slashed at the pillar. Unexpectedly, there was a sound

The sound of gold and iron clashed, and sparks actually appeared in the cracks.

"Bronze pillar?"

Zhao Guanren was puzzled and chopped a few more times. After he split all the shells of the wooden pillars, Song Chizhu and Song Chizhu both gasped.

"Mom! This can't be a silver pillar..."

Song Chizhu jumped forward in disbelief, pulled out a small dagger and chiseled out a small piece of metal, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then exclaimed: "Pure silver! It's purer than official silver, such a big piece of metal."

A pillar plus a foundation would probably cost several hundred thousand taels!"

"Hundreds of thousands? I want you to open your eyes again..."

Zhao Guanren picked up a knife and split several pillars one after another. As a result, the women stopped grabbing things and covered their mouths in surprise. The dozens of pillars in the underground treasure house were all made of pure silver.

The total number of roots can exceed at least tens of millions of taels.

"I'm convinced! I'm completely convinced this time..."

Song Chizhu knelt on the ground softly and said excitedly: "It's so damn long since I've seen you. Mr. Tian is really my role model for corrupt officials. Corruption has reached its peak. It's so awesome. It's so shocking.

If the national treasury is in deficit, there won’t be as much money as he has here!”

"Master! This, this is too much, it's hot to hold..."

Bian Xianglan and the other girls were all frightened. Emperor Shunyao must have never expected that his kind father-in-law would have such a huge treasure in his house. If they took so much silver home, the ministers would be the first to refuse.

"What? You are still planning to move the pillars home..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "All the jewelry belongs to you, all the real estate deeds belong to me, the gold and silver are as soft as gold. Don't touch them. Send someone down quickly to count them. We will have dinner here at noon. Let all your relatives come over for dinner!"
