Chapter 166 One-handed gold and silver and one-handed butcher’s knife 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
As Li Ke presented the gift list, Wang Zheng, who was standing aside, glanced at Chu Yi. Chu Yi nodded slightly, and then Wang Zheng stepped forward and reached out to take the gift list from Li Ke's hand, and then handed it to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the gift list. As soon as he glanced at it, Chu Yi couldn't help being shocked. Even he had to admire it, what a governor of water transportation, what a masterpiece!
Just looking at the gifts listed on the gift list, it is not that Chu Yi has never received gift lists in the past few days, but the gift lists from those people are simply incomparable with the gift list from the Governor of Water Transport.
On Lu Wenyang's gift list, the first item is one million taels of grain silver, and below are various rare and rare treasures. If added up, the value of the gifts on this gift list alone is definitely no less than
A huge amount of 1.2 million taels.
Chu Yi had heard Gao Feng mention it before that in order to calm down Liu Jin's anger, Lu Wenyang paid Liu Jin 500,000 taels of silver to keep his position as Governor of Water Transport.
Nowadays, Lu Wenyang's handiwork is beyond Chu Yi's expectation. There are probably not many people in the world who would hit someone with a million taels of silver.
But Lu Wenyang did just that, with such great skill that even Chu Yi was shocked.
Li Ke saw Chu Yi's expression in his eyes and felt extremely proud of himself. His governor had really spent a lot of money this time. He didn't believe there was anyone in the world who could bear such a large amount of gold and silver.
Liu Jin was so powerful at the beginning, and he could settle it with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Now facing Chu Yi, to be honest, Li Ke really didn't care much.
At best, Chu Yi is just like Liu Jin. There are all eunuchs and chamberlains in the world who are not greedy for money. As long as the money is in place, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem.
Especially seeing Chu Yi's expression when he saw the contents of the gift list, Li Ke was even more sure of what he was thinking. He persuaded Lu Wenyang to come up with such a large sum of gold and silver, which immediately stunned Chu Yi.
.
Just when Li Ke was distracted, Chu Yi took a deep breath, slowly closed the gift list, and said to Li Ke with a smile on his face: "Governor Lu has his heart. Since it is Governor Lu's intention,
, if I refuse, wouldn’t it be too unkind?”
Li Ke immediately smiled and said: "If the General Manager refuses, my Governor will definitely be very sad, and my Governor has said that if the General Manager has any instructions, he will definitely obey the General Manager!"
What a Lu Wenyang, such a person who adapts to the wind. Liu Jin hugged Liu Jin's thigh when he was there, and now he hugs his thigh when he sees that he has gained power. No wonder he has been able to sit firmly in the position of governor of water transportation for so many years.
Li Ke, whose heart dropped, just felt that his trip was going too smoothly. He didn't expect Chu Yi to be so easy to deal with, but when he thought about the millions of money being thrown down, it would be strange if he couldn't deal with Chu Yi again.
Woolen cloth.
Outside the East Factory, several tall carriages slowly entered the East Factory, and extremely heavy boxes were moved down one by one. Chu Yi stood in the yard, and Li Ke beside him said with an apologetic smile: "The manager might as well send someone to take inventory.
, everything on the gift list is here."
Chu Yi smiled and patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Li took the trouble, there is no need to count. How can I still disbelieve Governor Lu?"
Wang Zheng directed Dongchang Fanzi to carry boxes after boxes of property into the Dongchang warehouse. Chu Yi directly left Li Ke behind, had a meal with Li Ke in person, and then comforted Li Ke, and
Let Li Ke take a message to Lu Wenyang.
Li Ke left Dongchang and got into the carriage. He saw the driver's eyes flashing and said: "Mr. Li, how is the situation? Has the Governor of Dongchang accepted the gift from the Governor?"
This coachman is obviously not an ordinary person. His cultivation has reached the level of a first-class martial artist. How can such a skilled martial artist be a coachman?
Li Ke changed his groveling attitude when facing Chu Yi before. There was a faint glint in his eyes, and he said with a bit of disdain: "The world is as black as crows. I thought Chu Yi was a person, but I didn't expect it to be nothing more than that."
Dong Qianshan, the coachman, said with a look of regret on his face: "It's just a pity that the millions of taels of property are worth it. That dog eunuch is really cheap!"
As an expert in the world recruited by Lu Wenyang, Dong Qianshan has followed Lu Wenyang for nearly ten years. It can be said that he personally saw how Lu Wenyang secured the position of governor of water transportation, and even helped Lu Wenyang eliminate many opponents.
Over the years, it is not that Lu Wenyang has not encountered opponents, but Lu Wenyang is ruthless. If anyone tries to spy on his position as governor of water transportation, Lu Wenyang will either throw money at him or cling tightly to the thigh of the big boss in the DPRK. On the one hand, he will
Competitors are killed directly.
Dong Qianshan personally eliminated no less than ten of Lu Wenyang's competitors. Otherwise, how could Lu Wenyang have sat firmly in the position of Governor of Water Transport for such a long time, because all those who competed with him were killed by him.
.
Li Ke chuckled and said: "It's just a mere million taels of property. As long as the governor can secure the position of governor of water transportation, not to mention a million taels, even if it is more, it doesn't matter. The governor can't take it.
It can be recovered in half a year."
Dong Qianshan nodded and said: "Since this dog eunuch is so sensible, Dong doesn't have to think about getting rid of him this time."
Li Kedao: "There is no need for the time being. Dong Guards has sent them away and continues to lurk in the capital as usual, waiting for the Governor's call."
This Dong Qianshan is Lu Wenyang's confidant who was specially placed in the capital. There are even other people in the capital. According to Dong Qianshan, if Chu Yi refuses to accept the gift from Lu Wenyang this time or Li Ke
If it is judged that Chu Yi was not knocked down by the gold and silver, then Dong Qianshan will take action to eliminate Chu Yi's scourge.
Li Ke and Dong Qianshan left. As one of Chu Yi's confidants, Wang Zheng knew Chu Yi very well. Now he said with a bit of confusion: "The governor won't just let the governor of water transportation go, right?"
.”
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Water transport, this position is so important, do you think the governor will let Lu Wenyang stay in this position?"
Wang Zheng suddenly said: "It turns out that the governor accepted the gift from the other party to confuse the other party!"
Chu Yi said with a hint of murderous intent: "Right now, I can't spare the energy to pay attention to Lu Wenyang. When the situation in Beijing becomes stable, just Lu Wenyang will be able to shake things up!"
Wang Zhengdao: "Then these gifts..."
Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "Let me sort it out, and when I go to see the Emperor, I will hand these things over to His Majesty for disposal."
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely accept these gold and silver. However, gold and silver are treasures to other people, but to Chu Yi, they are just external possessions.
If one million taels of silver could be exchanged for thousands or even hundreds of luck, Chu Yi would exchange it without hesitation.
On the third day, when Chu Yi brought millions of taels of property to meet Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being shocked.
In the previous raids on their homes and clans, Huang Huai, Huang Kui and others confiscated nearly three million taels of gold and silver. Adding in all kinds of property, the total was almost five million taels.
However, these gold and silver were deposited into the Ministry of Household Affairs and the official treasury. Now when Zhu Houzhao saw millions of taels of property in front of him, even Zhu Houzhao was a little confused.
The white and fluffy silver is really eye-catching. Zhu Houzhao actually had millions of taels of silver in his private treasury, but the silver was saved by generations of emperors. Zhu Houzhao had never seen so many grained silver at one time.
"Chu Daban, what happened to the money? Could it be that Gao Feng and the others have returned to Beijing?"
Chu Yi shook his head, reached out from his sleeve and took out Lu Wenyang's greeting card and presented it to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zhu Houzhao only glanced at Lu Wenyang's greeting card and the gift list, and then he understood what was going on when he looked at these white coins.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look gloomy. It was because he was stimulated by the number of officials' properties that had been confiscated again and again these days, so Zhu Houzhao's ability to bear it was much stronger, so he didn't get angry when he understood the origin of these silver coins.
But this does not mean that Zhu Houzhao is not angry, it just means that he can control his emotions and not show them.
Zhu Houzhao, who was extremely angry, said coldly: "What a governor of water transportation, he easily earns a million taels of silver. He is really a good minister of mine. How many taels of silver has he plundered?"
In order to bribe Chu Yi, Lu Wenyang was able to spend millions of taels of silver at once. Zhu Houzhao even couldn't imagine how much corruption the other party had to do to achieve such a big deal.
Five million, eight million, or ten million or more. When he thought of this, Zhu Houzhao wanted to immediately issue an order to cut Lu Wenyang into pieces with a thousand swords.
"Send people to investigate, supervise the imperial envoys, and imperial envoys. I want to see how much Lu Wenyang is corrupt!"
Chu Yi raised his brows and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin also sent people to check Lu Wenyang back then, but in the end nothing happened."
Mentioning Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said angrily: "Liu Daban failed to live up to my expectations. He is just a little greedy. He actually greedy millions of taels of silver. I am really angry!"
It turned out that not long ago, Liu Jin's embezzled property was counted, and Zhu Houzhao was almost angry to death when he saw the cases sent by the Ministry of Punishment, Jin Yiwei and others.
Zhu Houzhao was not unaware of Liu Jin's corruption. In Zhu Houzhao's view, Liu Jin had embezzled tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he could turn a blind eye. The result was not bad. Liu Jin gave him a big surprise, which was enough for him to embezzle money.
As many as millions of taels.
