Chapter 398: Shocking Wealth (For the rudder, the mainstream years are like water, and the years are no longer in addition)

Cao Bianjiao led the soldiers into the mansion, passed through the hall and continued to run towards the backyard, and encountered countless gold and silver scattered on the road on the way, not to mention millions of dollars.

"Wow, that's a lot of silver! Fan Yongdou, who was raised by this son of a bitch, is so rich! ”

"Pick it up, don't lose it!"

A group of soldiers who rushed to the front threw down their guns and began to bend down to pick up the gold and silver on the ground, and carried them into their arms, although most of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army were moved by the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, but their feet never moved.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao's eyes were cold, he raised his gun and fired a shot at the ground, and said coldly: "Stand up for Lao Tzu, put down all the silver and pursue Fan Yongdou, but if there is anyone who picks up silver, don't count to kill!" ”

In an instant, many soldiers came back to their senses and hurriedly threw away the silver and stood up, but a few soldiers were already fascinated by the gold, silver and jewels in front of them, and continued to bend down to pick up the most valuable ones and stuff them into their arms.

Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, and the soldiers around him immediately shot and killed a few soldiers who were picking up jewelry, and several screams sounded, and those soldiers fell in a pool of blood on the spot.

Cao Bianjiao said coldly: "Remember that you are the invincible Tianwu Army, the military discipline of the Tianwu Army is greater than the sky, this little money has moved you, what can I expect you to do in the future!" ”

Seeing that everyone under his command withdrew their gazes one by one staring at the gold, silver and jewelry, and stood straight and regained their spirits, Cao Bianjiao said: "Continue to pursue Fan Yongdou!" ”

Suppressing the greed in their hearts, a group of Tianwu Army soldiers stepped on the gold and silver and went straight to the back door of Fan's mansion, chasing Fan Yongdou who fled outside the mansion.

Fan Yongdou took his family to scatter gold and silver all the way, trying to tempt the pursuers behind him, but although the temptation of silver was great, it also exposed his direction.

The Tianwu army easily chased them in the direction where the gold and silver were scattered, and in a flurry of guns, the Fan family's private guards fell like wheat.

Fan Yongdou hurriedly shouted: "Kill it directly!" ”

He wanted to rely on the Fan family's private soldiers to escort him out of the city, but the firepower gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and there were only two or three hundred people left on his side, while the pursuing Tianwu army was full of hundreds, and there were Tianwu troops from other places who were constantly gathering to surround them.

The private soldiers of the Fan family were constantly shot and killed, Fan Yongdou had no way to go forward, no way to retreat, seeing that he was at the end of the road, he suddenly saw Cao Bianjiao, who commanded the siege, and immediately shouted: "General Cao, I have an old relationship with your uncle Cao Wenzhao, you let me go, I will give you a million taels of silver!" ”

Cao Bianjiao sneered: "When you are dying, you dare to be close, how can you be worthy of having an old relationship with my uncle!" ”

Fan Yongdou did see Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, Chongzhen seven years, Cao was ordered to go to Henan to suppress Kou, when he passed through Taiyuan, he was retained by Shanxi Governor Wu Shengsheng to set up a banquet to entertain, because Governor Wu Shengsheng was born in Cao Wenzhao's kindness, Cao Wenzhao agreed to go to the banquet, and there was a representative of Shanxi squire Fan Yongdou that day.

Seeing that they couldn't get along, the surrounding Tianwu Army stared at him coldly, and Fan Yongdou said again: "General Xiao Cao, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will give you two million taels of silver, and these brothers of yours, I will reward them with another three million taels, how about it?" ”

"I'll go, this dog thing is five million taels in one mouth, a lot of money!"

A sergeant of the Tianwu Army exclaimed, causing everyone to look sideways for a while, I have to say that meeting this old rich man today is an eye-opener for everyone.

Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Fan Yongdou, you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, your crime is unforgivable, and now you want to use the money of the people of the Ming Dynasty to buy us and other loyal and brave soldiers who fight for the country, it is really shameless!" Come, take him down! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

The sound of gunfire like bursting beans rang out again, and the private soldiers of the Fan family became fewer and fewer, and after a few rounds of blows, the only one hundred and ten people left, one by one, no longer had the fighting spirit, and they threw down their firearms and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Fan Yongdou was lucky not to die in the random guns, and was arrested by two Tianwu army sergeants, he desperately broke free, and shouted: "I am a representative of Shanxi squires and merchants, Emperor Taizu of the Dynasty treats the gentry preferentially, you ......"

A crisp slap sounded, and a sergeant of the Tianwu Army slapped Fan Yongdou's old face violently, interrupting his words alive, and asked, "Are you still hard-mouthed?" ”

Fan Yongdou was lying on the ground in a difficult posture of spinning and falling, and the right side of his face was swollen on the spot, only to feel that there were stars in front of him, and the sky was dark.

Cao Bianjiao nodded secretly and ordered: "Raid the house immediately, arrest all the people in the Fan family, and make a register of all the valuable things in the Fan Mansion and take them away!" ”

After receiving the order, the Tianwu army acted quickly, first arresting the Fan clan, and then raiding the Fan Mansion, and raiding all the warehouses in the Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the Tianwu army began to search gradually in Fan's mansion, not even letting go of a tael of silver and a bucket of rice, changing the weight of his steps after walking a few steps, and knocking on the square bricks a few times when he encountered a suspicious one, in case there was a dark layer under the floor tiles.

Under the guidance of intelligence officers, they turned into detectives and treasure hunters one by one to conduct a three-foot search of Fan's mansion.

"Look, there's a big cellar here!"

A soldier of the Tianwu Army lifted up a few square bricks and found that there was something unusual underneath, which turned out to be a huge underground warehouse.

A group of soldiers had just entered the dark underground warehouse, but when they saw a brush, the entire warehouse was lit up, which startled everyone, but even more terrifying was still behind.

The vast underground warehouse was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and even the bricks on the ground were made of gold, real gold bricks, and the walls were all made of silver bricks, and there were dense large iron chests around the walls.

When everyone opened the box, they almost blinded their eyes, all kinds of pearls and agate, gemstone jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some rare things that they didn't know at all, and the most important thing was a large piece of silver with white flowers.

Everyone opened their mouths in shock, and a sergeant squeezed out a few words from between his teeth for a long time: "I'm your mother!" ”

"Mr. Sentry, how much is the stuff here worth combined?"

"I don't dare to say ......"

There was not only this secret cellar in the Fan Mansion, but also several secret cellars discovered in a short time, each of which was no smaller in scale than this, and even Cao Bianjiao, who had always been calm, became dumbfounded.

When night fell, the property of the Fan family in the Fan Mansion was registered, Cao Bianjiao looked at the books sorted out, and secretly smacked his lips, this Fan family is too rich, the property in the Fan Mansion alone is worth 10 million taels of silver!

The Fan family's business is all over Shanxi, and the country's major business districts also have their industries, if all of them add up, how many family properties should there be! This is just the Fan family, there are seven other families, what is their total industry? If it expands further, how many small and medium-sized traitor families are there who have been attached to the eight major profiteer families for generations.......

Cao Bianjiao couldn't believe it, he originally thought that this was just a small house raid, but he didn't expect to copy out so much property, this is simply a shocking wealth, no wonder the crown prince let himself come with more than 10,000 Tianwu troops to do things, it turned out that it was a small matter to take people to copy the house, and it was a big deal to transport these belongings back safely!
