Chapter 37
I wish you great success
Time flies.
After a few days, Yuanjiang City seemed to have regained its former tranquility.
The streets were extremely noisy, with people coming and going, and vendors and footmen competing to shout.
At the entrance of the brothel, various young men and young men once again fell into the arms of the girl they liked.
In the restaurant, people from all walks of life were drinking wine and talking loudly.
It's just that the Zhou family mansion, which was once bustling with people, is now completely silent.
This mansion, which was built by occupying many people's houses, has now been acquired by the government, but no one is willing to buy it.
Just because everyone passing by the Zhou family's mansion will feel an inexplicable chill.
The blood on the steps of the house has not been wiped off yet, as if telling the story of that night.
At the same time, from time to time, you will see Jin Yiwei riding past on the street, full of murderous intent.
In the vegetable market, people chopped off batches after batches of people, killing heads everywhere.
During this period of time, Jin Yiwei, who had been silent for many years, showed unimaginable prestige throughout Yuanjiang City.
Even the news spread among the twelve counties of Dongchang Prefecture as if it had wings.
The word "Jinyiwei" has now truly reached the level of crying at night in Yuanjiang County, and even the entire Yuanjiang officialdom has shown a scene of "officials governing Qingming".
After all, corrupt officials are already in jail.
Compared with the fear of the officialdom and various forces, for ordinary people, while they are afraid, they are more grateful.
My fields and houses are all back, and my former enemies are dead. There is nothing better than this.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and they will be grateful to anyone who can keep them full.
The prerequisite for having a full stomach is to have land to grow crops.
…
Baihusuo, West Courtyard.
Lin Mang stood in the courtyard, looking at the small courtyard, somewhat reluctant to leave.
When he turned around, several people were already standing outside the courtyard.
"grown ups!"
All the royal guards knelt down on one knee and saluted with clasped fists.
Lin Mang smiled and said calmly: "Everyone, get up."
He looked at Wang Dasheng and asked, "Have all the Zhou family's money been dealt with?"
Wang Dasheng solemnly said: "According to your request, half will be confiscated. The remaining half, 50%, has been returned to the people, 10% has been given to the families of the three brothers who died, and 10% has been given to all brothers."
After saying that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, presented them in front of Lin Mang, and said, "Sir, this is all the remaining property, totaling twenty thousand taels."
Lin Mang took the banknote and sighed in his heart, the Zhou family is worthy of being a wealthy family for nearly a hundred years, and the wealth they have accumulated is truly extraordinary.
The amount of cash found from the Zhou family was thirty thousand taels of silver. In addition, there were various fields, houses, and shops under his name.
In fact, these are the real big ones. Back then, he could sell only a few acres of shabby land for 600 taels, but the Zhou family's fields were all high-quality fertile land.
In addition, the houses under the Zhou family's name occupy the most prosperous locations in the city, and their value is self-evident.
However, most of the assets of the Zhou family were obtained by exploiting the people. They occupied people's fields and houses, and they have already returned them to the people.
Although he needs money, he will not ask for it from ordinary people.
In the end, the property confiscated from the house reached an astonishing 150,000 taels, not including some assets belonging to the common people.
A mere wealthy family in Yuanjiang County has such assets. This shows how deep the foundation of those wealthy families must be.
But it also shows how miserable the people of Ming Dynasty lived.
Lin Mang took one last look at the small courtyard and closed the door, while a group of guards in golden uniforms silently followed behind him.
Although they only got along with each other for a short time, they admired this young boss in their hearts.
Outsiders all know that Jin Yiwei Lin Mang is a killer, but only they know how good this boss is to his subordinates.
When Lin Mang walked out of the small courtyard, he found that the courtyard was full of Jinyi guards.
Chen Tiankui held the knife in one hand, his face still cold.
Lin Mang smiled and said loudly: "Everyone, I would like to thank you all!"
In any case, when he left office, there were so many people who wanted to send him away, so it was not a waste of time for him to come to this matter.
Chen Tiankui said silently: "Take care along the way!"
At this moment, he suddenly didn't know whether it was right to send Lin Mang to Beijing.
For a moment, he suddenly wanted him to stay.
Because he knows very well what kind of place the capital is.
Wang Dasheng led a horse forward, and his voice was slightly choked: "Sir, this horse was obtained from the Tian Sword Association. It is a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day."
Lin Mang reached out to take the reins, hung the baggage and Xiuchun knife on the horse, reached out and patted Wang Dasheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be Xiaoqi, too, but don't imitate me."
"Sir..." Wang Dasheng hesitated to speak.
He actually wanted to leave with Mr. Lin, but he also knew that this was impossible. Hundreds of families could not enter the capital, let alone him.
Lin Mang smiled and waved his hand, leading the horse towards the gate of Baihusuo.
"Creak..."
The heavy vermilion door made a dull sound and slowly opened to both sides.
But when the door opened, Lin Mang was stunned.
Outside the gate of Baihusuo, there was a dense crowd of people standing.
Among the crowd, an old man on crutches walked out and shouted at the top of his lungs: "People of Washi Lane, Xu Xianden has come to see you off, and I wish you a smooth career."
The old man was none other than Xu Xiandeng, the teacher whose son died in Washi Lane.
I heard that Mr. Lin was leaving today, so I came here to see him off.
Behind them, a dense crowd of people knelt on the ground, but the chaotic voices now seemed uniform:
"Luo Dou from Washi Lane is here to see you off."
"Qi Youmin from Washi Lane is here to see you off."
"Ms. Zhang Wang from Washi Lane is here to see you off."
…
At this moment, the whole house was obviously very noisy, but it seemed to be extremely quiet.
You can hear the needle drop!
The looks in the eyes of many Jin Yiwei were extremely complex.
They have only heard of people sending honest officials to leave their posts, but they have never heard of people sending royal guards to leave their posts.
The most common names they are given are just minions of eagles and dogs, lackeys of the imperial court.
But when they first joined Jinyiwei, their ambition was not to serve the country and the people.
Lin Mang was stunned and silent for a long time.
After a long time, Lin Mang suddenly smiled, led the horse away, and said loudly: "Everyone, get up."
"I don't deserve this worship!"
When Lin Mang approached, the people in front of him automatically parted a path, and countless eyes focused on him.
Lin Mang led the horse and slowly walked towards the city gate.
Along the way, many common people and a group of royal guards followed behind.
All the way to the outside of Yuanjiang City.
Above the city gate, many county soldiers were in disbelief at this scene.
Lin Mang got on his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll see you off a thousand miles away, but we'll see each other again eventually. Don't see me off again."
Then he pulled the reins and spurred the horse forward.
The sound of horse hooves vibrates, and the black robe hunts!
On the distant horizon, a red sun rises, and the morning sun fills the road away.
I feel that my writing is not good enough and my writing is not perfect. I apologize for my embarrassment.
