Chapter 275: The Zhen Family Falls
Zhou Rui's family waited, patiently listened to her for a long time and didn't see her move, took out the key or ordered to go to her treasury to withdraw money, and Zhou Rui's family knew it, obviously from the Zhen family's pile of property.
"Yes. Zhou Rui's family was about to retreat, but was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Wang.
"Wait, if the people from the Zhen family come back next time, whether I'm here or not, I'll be entertained, everyone is an old relative, don't snub them, they just have any requirements to come down." ”
Zhou Rui's family bowed his head in response, and as the Zhen family moved more and more frequently, and the shots became more and more generous, even people who didn't have long eyes felt a different atmosphere.
The timid and clever people who looked for the funeral early stopped people from the door, and the bold and greedy people just accepted it, and the Rongguo Mansion was the most.
One is that the Zhen family and the Jia family have been friends for a hundred years, one south and one north, each other is horns, and the relationship is closer, and the other is that the relative strength of Rongguo Mansion is not weak, and there is a mother in the palace, but it is a pity that they cannot contact Ning Guofu, who has been married to the royal family twice, otherwise the Zhen family's expectations for the Jia family are deeper.
However, the very strange thing is that the Rongguo Mansion accepted most of the Zhen family's wealth, but he had never heard a sound, which was a miracle in the Rong Mansion like a sieve.
In the blink of an eye, in February, most of the ministers and edicts of the DPRK and the central government sent the spirits out of Kyoto, and the people who stayed in the palace suddenly sealed the courtyard of the Zhen family's mansion in Kyoto.
With more than 20 crimes such as dereliction of duty, corruption, bribery, buying and selling official positions, connecting court officials, bullying men and women, and preying on the common people, all adult men were exiled, female dependents were beaten into slavery, and underage children looked at the face of the deceased Concubine Zhen Gui and retained the identity of civilians, but the three generations did not allow the imperial examination, it can be said that in the Kangsheng Dynasty, for decades, there were ups and downs in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Zhen family of the emperor finally disappeared.
Because of the deliberate blockade of the news, the ministers in the suburbs did not get the news until after the dust finally settled, and for those who had expected it, it was just a feeling that it had finally arrived.
For those who have a deep relationship with the Zhen family, they are frightened, for fear of finding themselves along the Zhen family.
For Mrs. Wang, it was a great joy, the Zhen family was wiped out, and the property left in her own family had no owner, and it naturally became her private room, how could she be unhappy, as for the underage Zhen family of the common people, she had already forgotten about it, even if that person looked exactly the same as her heart and liver, with a very similar name.
For those idlers who are watching, it is more to sigh at the fall of a generation of wealthy families, and secretly speculate and envy how much silver they have obtained from the Zhen family today, the mansion of the Zhen family when they entered Beijing is something that everyone has seen, it is really pearls as stones, gold as soil, which is very common in the early Xungui family, but after years of consumption, no one dares to say that they can still be like this, as for those Qingliu ministers' families from poor families, the foundation is too thin and they can't afford to play at all.
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver?" a dull and calm voice came from the empty hall.
Standing on the ground, the right attendant of the criminal department sweated on his forehead, and said, "Back to the emperor, it is exactly, from the floating wealth in the family account to the mansion, shop, and Zhuangzi combined, a total of 500,000 taels of silver. ”
500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, 20 taels of silver for an ordinary Zhuang family can live for a year, if you don't consider inflation, natural disasters and man-made disasters and other factors, 500,000 taels can be used for a village family for a thousand years, but is it a large amount for the Zhen family?
Not at all!
is Lin Ruhai's family, who has always been relatively honest, when he died, he handed over half of the family property to Thailand, and he also had one or two million taels of silver, but could he want to compare with the Zhen family?
Another example, in the Qing Dynasty, when he copied his family and Shen, he copied out a family property of about 400 million taels of silver, which was about the same as the gross national income of the Qing government for 15 years at that time, so there was a rumor that "He Shen fell, and Jiaqing was full".
When he accepted the test of the emperor before ascending the throne today, with the transaction with Lin Ruhai and the infiltration of Jin Wuwei, at that time, he basically grasped the evidence of the Zhen family's guilt today, why didn't he set it off at that time?
One is because the emperor was powerful at that time, and the other is that he did not fatten the Zhen family, and then killed him, but the 500,000 taels of silver are too little!
"Aiqing, can you explain to me, where did the Zhen family's money go?
Lord Youlang knelt down and said,
At present, Jinling has checked the property of the Zhen family, and the value of about two million taels of silver has been brought into Beijing, and later there are many silver relatives in contact, especially in the last few days, the contact is closer, and the rest of the Zhen family is hidden in their world friends. ”
I heard that there were still two million taels in Jinling, and the emperor reduced his anger, but fortunately, the military expenses were available, and said,
"After the Zhen family has sorted out all their wealth in Jinling, they don't have to send it back to Kyoto, and all of it will be used for military expenses of the navy in southern Xinjiang, and they will buy grain in Jiangnan and neighboring Huguang and other places to prepare for military expenses.
As for the 500,000 taels of silver collected into the state treasury, the specific use of it is up to the household department to guess. ”
The right attendant answered, and took his leave and left.
At this time, the emperor picked up the Zhen family's close friends who were presented by the right attendant, and the first one read: "The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion".
In March, it happened to be the day when the grass grew and the warbler flew and a hundred flowers bloomed, when he got up early, Shen shouted that his stomach hurt, his amniotic fluid broke, and he was forced to eat a bowl of egg noodles by the experienced Zhang, and then he entered the delivery room, maybe Shen's skeleton is small and weak, or the child is too well raised, big, and reincarnated, and he is tossed and tossed until the afternoon, and he does not come down.
Except for Jia Jing, who was seriously ill in bed, and Jia Qiang, who was out to fight, everyone else gathered at the door of the delivery room, waiting anxiously, this is the next generation of Ning Guofu, and the first person below the cursive generation, this can already be said to be not only a matter of Ningfu Mansion, but also a matter of the entire Jia clan.
Since the morning, people of all ethnic groups have sent their sons, nephews and juniors to come to visit with gifts, and even Jia's mother in the next house has sent mandarin ducks and Jia Lian to guard.
In the afternoon, the originally clear sky gradually darkened, dark clouds, afraid that it was going to rain heavily, Zhang sent out the clansmen who wanted to go home one by one, if they didn't want to leave, they also arranged guest rooms, let them live well, and then came back to the delivery room to guard.
"No! I can't help it, I'm going to go in and take a look!" Listening to Shen's originally high voice of pain gradually lowered, leaning against the hollow curtain window to hear a shallow moan, watching basins of blood water come out of the room, Jia Rong couldn't hold back anymore, and was about to rush in.
