In Yan Chengjin's view, face is the least worth of money, and life is important.

Your Majesty doesn't search the house, and there will be other people who will come out and continue to look for trouble.

It's better to let Jinyiwei search clearly.

Let King Ning find the painting by himself.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin and frowned: "Yan Qing's family, do you really want to search?" Spread the word, the minister decided to decide, I am protecting you, and you don't know it yet. ”

Wei En hurriedly instigated: "Lord Yan is as incorruptible as water, why not be afraid of searching the mansion, Your Majesty ......"

"What Gonggong Wei said is extremely true, the minister is not afraid, and I implore Your Majesty to search the mansion." Yan Chengjin was like having a broken brain.

Emperor Hongzhi was afraid of this guy, and said to Mu Bin: "Go and search, the movement is smaller, just report to me." ”

Mu Bin took Jinyiwei and came to Yan's Mansion.

Although he often monitors outside the mansion, he knows that there are two courtyards in the Yan mansion.

When I actually entered the house, I was a little shocked, it was both large and spacious.

Fifteen brocade guards spread out, looking east and west in the house.

Thinking that it was going to raid the house, how could he be so frightened that Chunxiao and the daughter sisters took their subordinates and stood aside.

"Y-how did you break in! Lord Mu, where is my young master? He Neng hurriedly stopped.

At this moment, Yan Chengjin walked in and ordered: "You have to search carefully, these chickens, as well as the melons that grow here, also count them clearly, report them to Your Majesty, come here, open the treasury, and come over with two brocade guards to count." ”

The brocade guards had strange faces, although they had also searched other people's houses.

But this is the first time that I have been so enthusiastic.

Let them have a kind of delusion......

We're hired by our hosts to do the work, right?

He Neng cried, hugged Yan Chengjin's thigh and said, "Young master, you can't open the warehouse!" You can take someone to search the master's room, and you must not open the storeroom...... If you want to open it, you will open it again when the master comes back. ”

The storeroom was full of silver and curiosities.

If it was really going to be copied by the imperial court, the Yan Mansion would go bankrupt.

Yan Chengjin snatched the key, kicked He Neng to the side, and opened the door of the warehouse.

"Lord Mu, please!"

Mu Bin walked into the warehouse and almost couldn't open his eyes.

In front of him was a mountain of gold and silver, shining in the bright yellow light.

A few Jinyi guards gasped, Yan Mansion also ...... Too much silver, right?

Mu Bin shouted: "Yan Chengjin, where did you get so much silver?!" ”

"My father, as well as Aoyama-kun and Mr. Chuanshi, the hard-earned manuscript fees are all hard-earned money." Yan Chengjin's complexion remained unchanged.

Mu Bin's face was sour, hard-earned money! This is someone else's blood, someone else's sweat!

Cheng Minzheng and Wang Yue wrote books to buy money, he knew.

The manuscript fee is all for this kid.

Eh, I haven't encountered such a good thing.

His Majesty only ordered people to come to find the paintings, and did not let them raid the house, and Mu Bin did not count how much silver there was.

Since he served as a brocade guard in the previous dynasty, he has seen ten times more silver than this in Wan An and Liu Ji's homes.

The storehouse couldn't fit it, so it was buried in the yard.

"Please also ask Uncle Shi to search carefully." Yan Chengjin reminded again.

Mu Bin was a little impatient: "This official knows, don't remind me anymore." ”

Half an hour later, I searched the entire Yan Mansion, and even looked at the stove in the kitchen, but I didn't find the painting.

Mu Bin quickly returned to the palace with people to resume his life.

Canopy Palace,

Emperor Hongzhi always wondered why Yan Chengjin asked Jinyiwei to search his mansion, and he always felt a little strange.

Xiao Jing saw that he was sad, and said with relief: "Your Majesty, Lord Mu will be back soon." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wei En and asked, "Have you seen that painting?" ”

"The slave has seen it, this painting is nameless and unsealed, and the painting skills are much better than the top painters." Wayne Road.

He had to come to serve in the Huagai Hall because he knew how to paint.

In the inner academy, it is famous.

Therefore, when Emperor Hongzhi came to the Huagai Palace, Xiao Jing would call him over to serve.

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wei En doesn't dare to bully the king, he said that if he has, he will definitely be able to find out." ”

Wu Wei, Jinyiwei, said: "The minister has never painted such a painting, I don't know who painted it, if you see the painting, you may be able to recognize it." ”

For the famous painters of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Wei has a lot of research.

As far as he knows, there is a talented man in Jiangnan named Wen Zhengming.

This person is good at all kinds of paintings, and his skills are so high that he is amazing.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I also want to see and understand." ”

Not long after,

Mu Bin and Yan Chengjin walked into the main hall, and Emperor Hongzhi saw that they were empty-handed, so he asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Mu Bin shook his head: "I didn't find that painting, but I ...... In Lord Yan's mansion, 60,000 taels of silver and 400 taels of gold were found. ”

Emperor Hongzhi choked, and when I ascended the throne, the treasury did not have so much silver.

"But the minister looked at the accounts, and they were all the income from the sale of books by Yingke Song, Qingshanjun, and Mr. Chuanshi." Mu Bin continued.

Emperor Hongji's face was slightly better.

Wayne, isn't this a cheat? Xiao Jing was a little flustered in his heart, and he was suspicious: "Master Mu, didn't you find the painting?" ”

Mu Bin was a little displeased: "No! ”

Wayne knelt on the ground and trembled, "Maybe ...... Maybe the slave and maid are wrong, the slave and maid deserve to die, and ask Your Majesty to forgive the sin. ”

Emperor Hongzhi is a benevolent person, who grew up in the pile of eunuchs and palace maids since he was a child, and has a kind of family-like feelings for eunuchs.

"Humph! Since I don't know, how dare I swear so much and slander the minister. ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly lowered his head, and the celebrant was in charge of all the eunuchs in the palace.

Wayne is also his person, but at this moment, he can't wait to kill Wayne with his own hands.

"Your Majesty, please condemn you!"

Emperor Hongzhi's face remained unchanged: "Drag Wei En out and hit the top ten boards!" ”

This is an extremely light punishment.

Since he knew that he was King Ning's person, Yan Chengjin wanted to kill him.

Yan Chengjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, slow down!" The minister also wanted to ask Gonggong Wei, where did he see this painting, and how did he know that it was in this official mansion? ”

Wayne's complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't kill anyone by hitting the top ten boards.

If the person who bought him is involved, his head will move.

"The slave and maid also heard about it, maybe they heard about it, and asked Lord Yan for forgiveness."

Could it be that only the official knows that the painting is in Min Jueshou's hands?

Yan Chengjin didn't ask any more, and continued to ask, Your Majesty should be suspicious.

Throw away the painting in front of the noon gate, besides him, how else can he and the four palanquin men know.

Back to the Metropolitan Inspectorate,

Min Jue saw him and asked, "What did Your Majesty call you to do?" ”

Summoned to the imperial history, it is very likely to be a clearance of court officials.

The court will discuss the affairs of the court, and the cabinet and the six ministries will be summoned.

There is a clear distinction between the two.

As the imperial history of the capital, His Majesty wants to check which official, he naturally wants to know.

Yan Chengjin thought about it, isn't that painting in Min Jue's hand? "Your Majesty is looking for a painting, in the painting, there is a person sitting on a wooden bench under the pine, has Lord Min seen it?"

Min Jue chuckled in his heart, his expression changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "What is Your Majesty looking for that painting?" ”

Yan Chengjin said: "The lower official doesn't know, but in order to find the painting, His Majesty also ordered the Jinyi guard to search the lower official's mansion." ”

Min Jue's legs were weak, and he almost didn't kneel down, could the painting be lost by His Majesty?

He hid in the mansion for two days and wanted to secretly possess it, if Jinyiwei found out, wouldn't it be a crime of greed?

Damn, the dog who moved the painting accidentally dropped the painting on the ground! Hurt the old man!

Min Jue held on to the imperial case, and his body trembled: "This official, this official, go back to the house." ”
