Chapter 627. House raiding frenzy (2).
……
……
It has been seven years since Su Changzhen assumed the position of governor of Nanzhili. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past seven years, Su Changzhen has used methods such as forming a party for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and stealing, etc., in order to accumulate money, it can be said that it is a means of compromise, and the Su family has quickly become the leading wealthy family in Nanzhili.
But on this day, the glory of the Su family finally came to an end!
Just three days ago, Huang Yourong, the former cabinet elder and the lord of the Qincha, came to Nanzhili and announced the will of Emperor Deqing to investigate and try Su Changyi's various crimes.
It stands to reason that in order to try a feudal official like Su Changzhen, the most important thing is to act cautiously, repeatedly investigate, collect evidence in detail, investigate and secretly visit, appeal and confront, and it will take at least two months to complete the process and convict Su Changzhen!
However, Huang Yourong was resolute, but in just three days, he completed all the case handling procedures and determined all the charges against Su Changyi!
Although he was a little hasty and anxious, Huang Yourong knew that no one would blame him, after all, it would be good for everyone after Su Changyi's downfall! The people will applaud when they see the fall of corrupt officials, the officials of Nanzhili have hope for further promotion, Emperor Deqing can get Su Changyi's huge family property, and Huang Yourong himself and Zhao Junchen behind him can also take the opportunity to reap many benefits!
Therefore, no one will question Huang Yourong's arbitrary handling of the case, and perhaps Su Changyi and his comrades will be dissatisfied, but these people have completely lost their power now, and no one will pay attention to their thoughts.
After Su Changyi was convicted, Huang Yourong couldn't wait, and immediately led a large number of soldiers to Su Mansion and started the house raid!
This is Huang Yourong's fundamental goal, and the so-called trial and verdict of guilt is only a trivial premise.
At the same time that Guo Tang's house was raided, the mansion of Su Changyi, the former governor of Nanzhili, also ushered in the same disaster.
At this time, the Su Mansion, which was originally rich and luxurious, was already a mess at this time, and the Su family, who was originally pampered, were now all detained in the front yard of the Su Mansion, and the servants of the Su family, who had always been foxes and fake tigers, were forced to kneel around, and everyone was trembling around Su Changqi, and everyone in the Su Mansion felt that the catastrophe was approaching and the end had come. As for Su Changzhen himself, his face was full of despair and numbness at this time, without any resistance, just quietly watching everything in front of him.
After the soldiers broke into the Su Mansion, they began a cleansing-like search, and the sound of kicking the door, the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets, as well as the sound of rude scolding and heavy footsteps sounded everywhere in the Su Mansion, which was full of miserable and panicked atmosphere. The soldiers searched room after room, all valuables were searched, and all worthless things were discarded on the ground.
Now that the Su family is already a phoenix, it is not as good as a chicken, and the soldiers have always been rude, so naturally there will be no politeness.
And Huang Yourong, who commanded the soldiers to raid the house, was full of smugness at this time, looking at the magnificent Su Mansion, secretly calculating in his heart how much benefit he could gain this time!
At this moment, a mutation protruded.
In the backyard of the Su family, there was a sudden violent quarrel and scolding, and it seemed that there were still people fighting.
Huang Yourong, who was disturbed by this movement and disrupted his reverie, was naturally not very happy, and turned his head to a hundred households beside him and ordered: "Go and see what is going on!" Could it be that the soldiers saw a certain valuable wealth and could not compete with each other? All of Su Changyi's family property must be confiscated, you tell them to clean their hands and feet! ”
After receiving the order, the hundred households hurriedly went to check the situation.
It didn't take long for the hundred households to come to Huang Yourong with more than a dozen soldiers and two young women, and reported to Huang Yourong: "Lord Qincha, it's not that the soldiers are fighting for property, but that when the soldiers under the lowly rank were about to search a room, they were stopped by several officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who seemed to be on the orders of the deputy envoy Gu Quangu to protect the women in the house, while the soldiers under the lowly rank were rude and ignorant, and they only thought about raiding the house, so they clashed with these officials. ”
After hearing Baihu's answer, Huang Yourong couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked again, only to find that the soldiers in front of him were obviously divided into two groups, one of them was wearing military uniforms, which were military soldiers in Suzhou, and the other group of people were wearing government officials to serve, which were the officials of the Imperial Court brought by Gu Quan, the right capital Yushi from the capital.
Then, Huang Yourong looked at the two women again, but found that the woman in charge was about double eight years old, with a beautiful face, delicate facial features, a slender and slender figure, and a gentle and touching temperament.
Then, Huang Yourong turned to Gu Quan and asked, "Master Gu, what is going on?" Did you really send the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to protect them? What is their origin, so that Master Gu cares so much? ”
Huang Yourong knew very well that Gu Quan was only his deputy envoy in name, but in fact he was Zhao Junchen's spokesperson, so he was also very polite when he asked, just wanting to find out the reason, and did not have any intention of questioning and accusing.
Gu Quan didn't answer Huang Yourong's question immediately, but nodded to the woman and smiled: "This girl must be Miss Su Xiuning, right?" Please don't worry, the Su family has encountered a catastrophe, but girl, you have nobles to help you, and you will never encounter any trouble. ”
Then, Gu Quancai turned his head and explained softly to Huang Yourong: "Lord Qincha, this girl is Su Changyi's youngest daughter Su Xiuning, at the beginning, His Majesty personally spoke for Zhao Junchen and Lord Zhao, and found a total of three girls, and this Su Xiuning Su girl is one of them. She and Lord Zhao have met many times, and Lord Zhao also has a very good impression of her. ”
After hearing Gu Quan's explanation, Huang Yourong suddenly realized that this woman was actually taken by Zhao Junchen, no wonder Gu Quan would send someone to deliberately protect her, presumably because of Zhao Junchen.
Then, Huang Yourong looked at Su Xiuning again, and secretly thought: "If this woman finally enters the Zhao Mansion, then the Su family may not have a chance to turn over in the future......
Then, Huang Yourong instructed the hundred households: "This matter will be done according to the will of the adult, don't disturb this girl, and send someone to take care of her, and don't let the soldiers frighten her...... Also, this girl's boudoir, most of which are this girl's personal belongings, don't let people confiscate them, and after the Su Mansion is sealed, you will personally go to find a secluded and comfortable house for this girl to settle in, and send all this girl's things over. ”
Huang Yourong's decision naturally violated the rules of the imperial court, but he is now a minister, and this matter is not a major matter, so naturally no one dares to disobey his order.
Gu Quan smiled and thanked Huang Yourong and said, "Thank you Lord Qincha for your accomplishment, I will definitely report your good intentions to Lord Zhao." ”
Huang Yourong nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more, just continued to command the soldiers to raid the Su Mansion.
On the other side, Su Xiuning could have returned to her room, with Huang Yourong and Gu Quan's special care, no one dared to disturb her now, but after Su Xiuning saw the trembling Su family people in the front yard, she didn't return to her room in the end, but endured the panic in her heart, walked to Su Changyi's side, and took on everything in front of her with her relatives.
Seeing Su Xiuning's choice, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan both nodded secretly.
At the same time, Su Changyi, who was already numb and desperate, seemed to think of something after seeing Huang Yourong and Gu Quan's special treatment of Su Xiuning, and his eyes regained a trace of brightness.
*
Su Mansion has a huge area and a lot of property, although Huang Yourong used a total of 300 soldiers and 20 account rooms, but this raid lasted for a whole day.
It wasn't until the evening that the bookkeepers finally counted all of Su Changyi's family property and registered all the valuables.
"Lord Qincha, Lord Deputy Envoy, the results of the count have come out." In the guest hall of Sufu, an account office reported to Huang Yourong and Gu Quanyu: "There are a total of 228 pieces of red gold jewelry, 21 pearls, three gold-inlaid ivory tendons, 11 pale gold plates, and 177 precious calligraphy and paintings...... Eighteen black fox skins, six green fox skins, thirty-six mink skins, twelve lynx skins, and three velvet skins...... One hundred and thirty rolls of silk, one hundred and eighty-one rolls of yarn, thirty-two rolls of feather crepe, and eight rolls of python satin...... Thirty-two pieces of jade play, one hundred and forty-seven pieces of gold and silver utensils, more than 500 pieces of copper and tin and other things, and a piece of fat and jade ring...... The cellar contained 375,200 taels of silver, 5,500 taels of red gold, and 7,163 taels of copper...... In addition, there are 37 land deeds, 71 shop deeds, 13 house deeds, 211 land deeds, and 9 debts......"
There are a lot of precious objects in the Su Mansion, and it took the bookkeeper nearly half an hour to report them all, and he only felt that his mouth was dry and his throat was on fire.
There are so many treasures, and there are really mountains of gold and silver treasures! There are also many jewels that have been hidden by the soldiers and taken away.
On the other side, after hearing the report from the account room, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan were also a little speechless.
Among them, Gu Quan was just shocked by Su Changyi's huge family property, but Huang Yourong was a little jealous in his heart, feeling that as a dignified former cabinet elder, he had not amassed so much money in the cabinet for nearly ten years, and when he was about to retire, he gave it all to Emperor Deqing, but he didn't expect Su Changyi's family property to be even more than himself!
Then, Huang Yourong laughed coldly: "With so many valuables, I'm afraid it won't be less than a million taels?" This Su Changzhen is really skilled and extravagant! However, the gold and silver copied were too small, with Su Changyi's net worth, how could he only have three or four hundred thousand taels of silver in Tibet......"
Gu Quan nodded and said, "It's not surprising that Su Changyi can't hide all the silver in his own mansion, I'm afraid he has other places to hide silver." ”
Huang Yourong stood up and said to Gu Quan: "It seems that Su Changyi still needs to continue to interrogate, and he must be asked to spit out all the silver!" Master Gu, do you want to go with me? ”
Gu Quan's appointment as the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission this time originally had the intention of monitoring Huang Yourong and preventing Huang Yourong from secretly greedy for too many benefits, but now Huang Yourong wants to ask Su Changyi where he hides silver, Gu Quan naturally wants to go together, otherwise if Huang Yourong secretly conceals a few places where the silver is hidden, Zhao Junchen's interests will be damaged.
Therefore, Gu Quan also stood up, nodded and smiled: "Naturally, we are going together, how dare you bother Lord Qin Cha to interrogate Su Changzhen alone." ”
Huang Yourong also understood Gu Quan's true thoughts, but he didn't debunk it, and just walked out of the Sufu Ketang directly.
*
At this time, because the raid had ended and it was getting late, everyone in the Su family was imprisoned in the room of the Su Mansion.
Among them, Su Changzhen was the first offender and was treated as solitary confinement.
When Huang Yourong and Gu Quan came to the room where Su Changyi was being held, they found that Su Changzhen was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and his expression was much calmer than a few days ago.
After Huang Yourong entered the room, he returned to his former "smiling tiger" nature, came directly to Su Changyi and sat down, and said with a warm smile: "In the past few days, I have really offended Lord Su, but the old man, as a messenger of the imperial court, is just a businessman, and I hope Lord Su can forgive me one or two." ”
Su Changyi slowly opened his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, Su someone is corrupt and perverts the law, and he deserves this retribution." ”
Huang Yourong still smiled: "Master Su, if you can think about it, it is naturally the best!" Now that the case is over, and the house raid has been completed, the old man will not deliberately make things difficult for Mr. Su, after all, there is a comradeship between you and me, if you have any requirements, as long as it is not too much, the old man will try his best to meet it. ”
Su Changyi suddenly smiled, there was a faint sadness in his smile, and asked, "Elder Huang Ge came to see Su this time, it should be for the matter of silver, right?" Huang Ge Lao felt that the amount of silver hidden by someone Su was too small, and thought that someone Su must have another place to hide silver, so he wanted to inquire about the news from someone Su's mouth? ”
Huang Yourong sighed and said: "That's true, all this silver is to be confiscated, and the old man naturally doesn't dare to let Master Su hide it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain it to the imperial court." ”
Su Changyi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Su can tell Huang Ge Lao about the rest of the silver hidden, but Su has a request. ”
Huang Yourong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? If Lord Su has any request, just put it forward! ”
As if he had made up some kind of determination, Su Changyi said slowly: "Su Mou wants to meet with his daughter Su Xiuning alone for half an hour, and no one can disturb him during this period!" ”
"Absolutely!"
Huang Yourong's expression moved slightly, and then he simply agreed to Su Changyi's request.
