Chapter 186 Searching the house to get rich, busy!
Almost at the same time, in the Linwang Mansion not far away, the same picture was also happening.
At this point, King Anyang and King Lin are glorious!
Not long after, Wang Yang, Wang Zhengzhi and Niu Dashun came back to report to Zhu Zilong.
"Sir, this is in the Anyang Palace and the Lin Palace. The gold and silver inventory book is here. Please check it out."
After Zhu Zilong received the account and read it, he thought for a while, Wang Yang and Wang Zhengzhi said again: "In the cellar and walls, Beizhi found nearly a thousand armored weapons, all of which were exquisite and well preserved. Moreover, in the dark pavilion in the study, Beizhi found a large stack of secret letters. Because Beizhi felt that it was secret, he did not dare to check it out. Please, sir, please make the decision."
Zhu Zilong took the secret letter, took out a rough look, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth the next second.
"I have heard of rumors among the court and the people that the King of Anyang and King Lin made private friendships towards the ministers. Now it seems to be true. I didn't expect that I could find secret letters this time. This is a good harvest. These secret letters will definitely be able to operate well in the future..."
At this point, Zhu Zilong, who had a little conscience to the family of these two princes, had no extra sympathy!
He received the secret letter in his arms, looked at Wang Yang and others, and Zhu Zilong said slowly: "No one else knows about these secret letters, right?"
When Wang Yang and Wang Zhengzhi heard Zhu Zilong's words, they hurriedly said, "Sir, except for the confidant Heniu Baihu (Niu Dashun), who searched with him, the others did not let others know about it."
Zhu Zilong bent his mouth, nodded, and said coldly: "From now on, you will forget about this secret letter and just think that you never know. As for those close friends, you can also explain it to them."
Wang Yang and Wang Zhengzhi nodded repeatedly and said yes.
A moment later, Zhu Zilong said again: "You can take two boxes to choose some of the gold, silver and jewelry found in the palace to take back, so you don't need to record it. In addition, the other Jinyiwei and people who participated will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for each person."
The income from the house search should be all owned by the state and the emperor, but there is no need to pay too much attention to some things, as people always have to give some benefits when doing things.
When all the outsiders were gone, Zhu Zilong looked at the house search account book in his hand again, and his heart was beating wildly: "The gold and silver of the Anyang Palace are worth 20 million taels, and the Linwang Palace is 15 million taels.tm, more than I went to sea to do business with Japan for more than a dozen times. These hateful Ming Dynasty insects!"
As for this huge sum of money, Zhu Zilong had very few hands and feet, and he could only get a rebate of several million taels at most.
However, when he thought of the payment for the house-tracing, most of the money he would enter the emperor's inner treasury, which was his own emperor's clone, so he became more psychologically balanced.
If it weren't for the worry that the family was addicted to being scouted and that there was no legal reason to shake the Ming Dynasty's foundation, Zhu Zilong really wanted to have someone search other princes.
Well, it's still a trivial matter for gold and silver.
Some rare treasures in the prince’s mansion will open your eyes.
Soon, Zhu Zilong came to the warehouse to check what was found.
At first glance, he attracted a jade pot spring bottle. This bottle is big enough, 60 cm tall, and it is blue all over, and looks very beautiful.
Zhu Zilong carefully picked up the bottle and looked at it from his semi-professional perspective. He believed that this was a fine product among the official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and the price would not be cheap in modern times!
Looking back, he saw a golden bowl.
Originally, a golden bowl was no big deal, after all, there were many gold ingots. But this bowl was different!
This gold bowl is 7.2 cm high, 21.2 cm in diameter, 0.12 cm in wall thickness, 17.2 cm in belly diameter, 7.1 cm in belly depth, and weighs 573 grams. It has an open mouth, a bulging belly, a trumpet-shaped ring foot, a flat pattern, and a fish roe pattern all over the body. Two layers of lotus petals are chiseled on the outer abdomen, each layer of ten petals.
The lotus petals are engraved with rare birds and beasts such as foxes, rabbits, deer, deer, parrots, mandarin ducks, etc., which are decorated with honeysuckle cloud patterns for one week and square foot decoration. There is a line of engraved text on the edge of the mouth: "In the 14th year of the Wensiyuan Zhuanxiantong period, the 23rd of March. Today, the mandarin duck lotus petal pattern carved with flowers is made of gold bowls, weighing 14 taels and 3 cents!"
"Zhuwen? Wensiyuan seems to be a department of the Tang Dynasty court, right? So, is this an antique palace golden bowl from the Tang Dynasty?" Zhu Zilong put down the bowl with a look of surprise.
Indeed, the Tang Dynasty was one of the most powerful and glorious periods in Chinese history, and its gold and silverware production represented the highest level of metal craftsmanship.
"The things in the court of the Tang Dynasty were priceless things in the Ming Dynasty. Take them back to modern times and go to the next level." Zhu Zilong xx was surprised.
Zhu Zilong picked up the bowl and shone it in the light of the gravity light.
Gold has seven green, eight yellow, nine purple, and ten red. Different colors represent different gold content. Gold is brilliant and bright under strong light, while the color of pure gold is slightly red in golden yellow.
This gold bowl is absolutely pure gold making product!
Think about it, in the modern 21st century, there was a real auction record. There was once a large gold-plated silver cover bowl with five twisted branches and clusters of patterns in the Tang Dynasty, which was also sold for 5.5885 million pounds, which is about half a million yuan.
And that bowl is not as good as this one, and this one is a golden bowl, Zhu Zilong felt beautiful in his heart.
The next antiques are also of various varieties, but they are not as good as the first few. Maybe some good things were hidden by the two princes in advance?
There is such a possibility!
The so-called antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times are now in the chaotic time of the late Ming Dynasty. Obviously, as long as gold and silver are more concerned, antiques are not the case.
So Zhu Zilong collected most of the antiques, packed most of the gold and silver, and escorted the convoy and soldiers into the capital in time.
A few days later, the things that were searched for the house arrived at the palace, and the two princes, their families, and their servants were also sent to the imperial prison.
After being admitted to the imperial prison, it can be said that it is called "daily and unresponsive" and "the earth and earth are not effective, and fate is completely in the hands of others. The physical evidence is not important, and the human evidence is not important. The factory guards ask you to say whatever you want, and the factory guards say that you have committed something, and you have committed something.
Especially when the emperor allows him to be punished casually!
The top ten tortures in the Ming Dynasty will be taken one by one. Even the iron man can't hold on to the torture instruments.
The two tender princes, as well as their families and servants, obviously, did not have a few of them. After being taken back to Beijing, they were questioned for more than two or three days, and they were found.
All crimes, which should be admitted and those that should not be admitted, have confessed.
Therefore, with the "conclusive evidence" and "the facts are present", the case of corruption in the earthquake county in Shanxi was found.
What? What about other corrupt officials in other counties and districts in Shanxi earthquakes?
Haha, don’t worry, those people were not even qualified to issue an edict, so they asked Wei Zhongxian to kill a large number of people under the orders and also searched their homes.
This month, Zhu Zilong's emperor clone made a big profit just by chasing the house. After careful calculation, he not only made money back from his previous disaster money, but also made a lot of money in vain.
This is really what corrupt officials have made this contribution, sweat!
Zhu Zilong even thought to himself, feeling that he would like to follow others and continue to embezzle them so that he would have a chance to attack.
