"Oops!"
Gao Qi ran over like a pug, "Wei Changgong, Lord Tian, what kind of wind blew the two of you over today?"
Come on, why don't you hurry up and invite the factory man and Lord Tian into the house to drink tea. ”Wei Zhongxian sneered, "There is no need to drink tea, our family came today with the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor, get up and dive, kneel down to accept the decree." ”Listening to Wei Zhongxian's tone, he was extremely unkind, and he sighed in his heart, and when he heard the words of the holy decree, he was about to fall down in fright.Gao Qiqian knelt down trembling and trembled, "The slave and maid Gao Qiqian took the order." ”Wei Zhongxian gloated and glanced at Gao Qiqian, and then he slowly took out the holy decree and read it in a sharp duck voice."
Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The ministers are greedy and pervert the law, collude with the foreign ministers, connive at their subordinates to disobey the holy order, oppress the good people, and I am very angry, and I ordered Jinyiwei and Xichang to arrest him, confiscate his family property, and behead him!"
The three words were just pronounced.Gao Qiqian fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth unconscious, and the slaves around him were also frightened and panicked, and they scattered in all directions, and some even scared feces and urine, which was simply smelly.Wei Zhongxian took out a silk silk to cover his nose, and he said viciously, "Pass my order, Tian Ergeng, you will lead people to surround Gaofu, don't let a fly fly out, and the rest of the people will rush in with our family and raid the house!"
”The voice did not fall.Wei Zhongxian rushed in with the eagle dogs of the West Factory, Wei Zhongxian was already known for being good at collecting money, and as soon as he entered the Gao Mansion, he ordered his subordinates to torture all the family members of Gao Qiqian, and then imprisoned them in the stable.Then, digging three feet into the ground, tearing down the walls and smashing the cabinets, all the gold and silver jewels were scraped out, in addition to the gold and silver jewelry, those vases, calligraphy and paintings, scrolls, antiques, jade, land deeds, etc. are the most valuable things.What made Wei Zhongxian speechless the most was that Gao Qiqian, a eunuch father-in-law, actually raised more than 20 concubines?
In view of the fact that he was caught by Chongzhen for corruption last time, when he raided his house this time, Wei Zhongxian could be said to be conscientious, and he didn't even dare to take a bead.Soon all of Gao Qiqian's property was confiscated, and Wei Zhongxian presented the property list to Chongzhen for preview, and Chongzhen was almost dizzy when he saw it.Eighteen branches of ox blood red coral tree, one hundred and eight strings of large amber strings, one bucket of large beads, ten small beads, one hundred catties of Qi Nan agarwood, one hundred sets of red gold jewelry, high-quality Hetian jade, rhino hornware, as well as glass, agate, gold and silver and other cups, plates, vases and other things.In addition, there are countless silk satin, brocade, cotton yarn, Shu brocade and other fabrics.Especially the Shu brocade is extremely precious, an inch of Shu brocade is an inch of gold, this guy actually made 10,000 horses of Shu brocade and hid it at home, you must know that Shu is only a few hundred horses to the court every year.There are also furs such as sables, lynxes, foxes, beavers, tigers and leopards.Among them, mink is produced in the northeast, and sable is the most valuable mink skin, and after Jianyu gets sable skin, it is generally treasured and not sold.This garbage eunuch actually collected hundreds of sable skins, and at first glance, he didn't buy them through normal channels, and he must have colluded with Jianyu.No wonder this guy worked so hard to frame the Tianxiong Army, it turned out that he had already taken refuge in the new master, shameless!
In addition to the above jewelry, it is soft and soft.Wei Zhongxian also found 2 million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold from the cellar of Gao Qiqian's house, and 10,000 silver ingots and 10,000 gold cakes from the mezzanine of his house's walls.In addition, this garbage eunuch also encroached on countless fertile land, opened hundreds of pawnshops, and even had an inextricable relationship with Jiangnan Yinhao.After reading the list, Chongzhen couldn't speak for a long time, he just wanted to cut this garbage eunuch with a thousand knives now.Even Wang Chengen beside him was stunned, he and Gao Qiqian have been colleagues for so many years, and all his belongings are only tens of thousands of taels of silver, this Gao Qiqian has quietly accumulated such an amazing wealth?
Chongzhen sneered."
I originally thought that officials were greedy for money, but because the eunuchs in this inner palace were all from bitter backgrounds, they were less corrupt than officials, and now it seems that eunuchs are not a good thing, and I am very wrong."
Wang Chengen knelt on the ground in fright, "The emperor spares his life, the old slave accepted a bribe of one hundred taels of silver last time, and the old slave deserves death!"
”Chongzhen was stunned, then he laughed and helped Wang Chengen up, "What are you talking about?"
You are different from them, and you deserve to take as many bribes as you want. ”Wang Chengen looked confused.Wei Zhongxian's cold sweat flowed down, because he was a eunuch!
I don't know if Chongzhen's words were aimed at him?
Chongzhen looked at the list of properties in front of him, and asked slowly, "Zhongxian, in addition to Gao Qiqian, have other nobles and eunuchs raided it?"
Especially that high five virtues, you must not let go. ”Wei Zhongxian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he replied cautiously."
Your Majesty, the first thing the old slave to confiscate was Gao Qiqian, so the list of his property was sorted out first, and the noble eunuchs on the rest of the list are being searched, and Gao Wude has also been imprisoned.""
Not bad!"
Chongzhen nodded and continued, "Spread my will, torture this Gao Wude, and force him to find out the whereabouts of the two daughters of the Li Laohan family that he plundered back then. ”"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian was a little puzzled, Chongzhen actually stood up for the people's daughter?
But he didn't dare to ask, and honestly went to torture him.The common people found that the sky in Shenjing City had changed.Overnight, many nobles and eunuchs were imprisoned, and countless dog-legged minions were also arrested.The fertile land and pastureland they encroached upon were also returned to the state or the common people, and for a while the streets and alleys were talking about this matter.Reading the spittle of the showmen in the newspaper room, they only compared this Chongzhen to Emperor Yao Shun.The audience's enthusiasm boiled and they kept applauding, and their love for Chongzhen reached an overwhelming level.On the outskirts of the city, Li Laohan's house.As soon as they got up that day, they heard that the high father-in-law of Huangzhuang had been tortured, and those scoundrels were also arrested.In the afternoon, the government sent someone to inform the dissolution of the imperial village, and all the goods and goods in the imperial village such as millet and cotton were divided among the tenant farmers.As for how to divide it?
It was the tenant farmer's own business, and the government didn't ask, and the land in the imperial village was also distributed to the tenant farmer, and he never paid taxes again.Li Laohan's family can't believe that there will be such a good thing in the world?
It was only when all the tenant farmers cheered and knelt down the mountain and shouted long live that they reacted.What a good Emperor, Your Majesty!
It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had always had ordinary people in his heart, Li Laohan burst into tears, he knelt down tremblingly, and kept kowtowing in the direction of the Forbidden City.
