Cai Jing was so wise and happy, but Bai Shizhong's mood was not joyful and relaxed, let alone the pleasure of revenge, but his heart sank hard and sank to the bottom.

"Countryman, what is this in your house?"

Cai Jing was calm and said slowly: "Isn't it like this when the family fails? “

followed by a more calm and comfortable one, "The old man is an official all his life, honest and honest and dedicated to the public, the world ignores me and says that I am greedy, and I don't know that money comes and goes. If you are not an official, you will have no income, and the government will naturally have no money. Don't hide it from you, you said that the old man is now relying on his children to help, and he is living a miserable life, and there are only a few people left who are short of manpower, guarding this empty mansion that cannot be sold. ”

Bai Shizhong couldn't help but change color on the spot when he heard this.

If you talk nonsense in broad daylight, you are so ghostly.

If you Cai Jing were not a greedy person, and if you were not a person who compared the emperor's pleasures and plundered the world for your own use, I would be a contemporary saint in my daytime.

This feeling and mood are not important, and it will not make Bai Shizhong lose control of his emotions and change color on the spot.

The important thing is that he heard it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to check anything in Cai's mansion. He came with great expectations, but he was about to be disappointed.......

Caifu was so poor that he didn't even have tea. Sitting with him, he dealt with Cai Jing falsely, maintaining the politeness that should be on the surface, but the officers and soldiers under him should not delay at all. But after carefully copying the huge Cai Mansion, there really wasn't much to gain.

The money I got was only a few hundred yuan, including a little scattered gold and silver, but not a thousand, and it was not as good as an ordinary official with a little family background.

Is there a mountain of treasures that can be copied as you can imagine?

Even the objects that cannot be spent, let alone sold, can only be sold, and there are no treasures such as the precious calligraphy and paintings that Lao Cai loves!

The inkstones, brushes, and paper used on Cai Jing's desk are now the most common and cheapest road goods!

This old thing used to be non-Duan inkstone, She inkstone, Tao inkstone, Chengni inkstone four famous inkstones, non-Xuan pen purple without a pen, non-superb rice paper without a pen.......

What's wrong with Cai Jing's family?

Bai Shizhong was completely shocked.

It was implied that his capable personnel led the careful re-investigation, and the old housekeeper of Cai Mansion and other old people who knew the bottom of the matter were interrogated and investigated.

But after interrogating the few people in Cai's Mansion carefully and harshly, repeatedly searching, and searching the dark cellars of Cai's secret treasures, they still found nothing.

Cai's mansion can be called empty.

Not to mention the treasures, even the people of the past only saw a dozen in front of them, and the pirates asked for a standard of beautiful women and children.

Asked, couldn't ask anything.

Cai Jing is also a special person, and he can't handle it casually after he falls, let alone torture to extract confessions. His son Cai Jiu is still the prefect of Jiangzhou, and his son-in-law Liang Zhongshu is still the leader of the Daming Mansion in Beijing, holding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, with a critical position and great responsibilities; He himself lost power and became a commoner, but he was still able to move to a mansion in the capital, instead of necessarily slipping back to his hometown as usual...... All this implies a content, Cai Jing has not completely lost his role in Zhao Ji's heart, and may still be used.

Cai Jing was surprised to Bai Shizhong and asked what about the imperial gifts, why Cai's mansion was so poor...... Indifference does not respond. Bai Shi was angry in the center, but it was really hard to turn his face and move roughly.

Could it be that this old thief is so shrewd and spicy that he can foresee the future?

Could it be that the old thief had already prepared for the day of pirate extortion, and had quietly moved his money and hidden it elsewhere in advance?

Bai Shizhong didn't believe that Cai Jing was really poor and had no money.

But Cai Jing's other mansions have been sold, and everyone in the capital knows that they were all sold out before the auction farce of the Wencheng Marquis Mansion, and only this mansion is left.

Could it be the countryside outside Beijing?

It's also unlikely.

In this world, how can there be a safe place in the countryside. So much money is transported, and no matter how tightly it is done, it cannot be hidden. Besides, there was no entry and exit of Cai's mansion at the city gate.

So still in the capital?

It's also unlikely.

The capital also has to scrape the ground and search all over the place, and no ordinary people's residence can hide those treasures.

After thinking about it, I didn't expect Cai Jing to be able to hide the wealth of Rushan perfectly.

Look at Lao Cai's malnourished appearance now, and then look at the old arrogant and bullish housekeeper Cai's housekeeper who is as fat as a pig, and now has a thin and sad face........

Tsk, it's really not a poverty that can be pretended.

Could it be that Cai Fu is really so poor?

So, where did the gold and silver go?

Could it be that Cai Jing is actually really an upright and virtuous minister, a rare honest and capable minister in history who is dedicated to the public and the country and loves the world, and is actually a more benevolent and universal figure than the world-famous Zhao Gonglian? Is it that everyone couldn't see through the feelings and behaviors of the most holy people in the past, and they all misunderstood and wronged him Cai Jing?

repeatedly recalled Lao Cai's extravagance in the past......

The old thief loves to eat birds, but he does not eat meat, but only the tongue of a bird (parrot). How many birds do you need to make a dish? How much does this dish cost?

Ahh

Cai Jing is definitely the most corrupt official in the world, 100 percent.

So where does the money go?

In the end, a sudden thought came to his mind: Could it be that he had dedicated all his wealth to the emperor in order to get the emperor to pardon the serious crimes of killing many important ministers and grandchildren?

This thought made Bai Shizhong completely lose his heart to the looting of Cai Jing.

Disappointed and gone.

In fact, Cai Jingzhen is so shabby and sad.

At that time, he was deliberately extorted by pirates, but none of the kidnapped children and grandchildren survived, and all of them went crazy...... Cai Jing's henchmen in the capital now, most of the powerful henchmen of the official have been killed by his descendants who have become demons, and the rest have either been replaced by Bai Shizhong, who is in the upper position, or the forces have changed their ways to the court in time to see the current affairs, only a few still follow Cai Jing, but they have also lost power, at least they dare not maintain a close relationship with Cai Fu on the surface, and there are very few contacts in secret, and there are only a few people who can give or are willing to give Cai Jing money and financial help.

Besides, these henchmen don't know or don't believe that the treacherous and slippery Cai Jing will be so poor that even survival will become a problem if he becomes an official.

Cai Jiu, who was the prefect outside, was not having a good time, and he was unable to support his old father through the difficulties.

Jiangzhou, also known as Jiujiang, is the confluence of nine rivers, you can imagine how the water traffic in that place extends in all directions, and there is a river leading directly to the sea, which is the most convenient area for pirates to come and go, although the pirates did not invade Jiangzhou in the past, but this summer's disaster has made up for all the previous debts.

Jiangzhou is also an economic and military key place, choking the throat of the river, controlling the east, west, north and south water exchanges, there is a heavy responsibility to prevent pirates from invading all parts of the river, and there is also an important role in deterring the south and west, ensuring the stability of social and taxation in Jiangxi Lianghu and other places, there is a special military town, the number is Wuwei Army, instead of the usual state military army, there were tens of thousands of garrisons at that time, and there were loyal and stable famous generals to lead, the army was well governed, the management was stricter, and there were Cai Jing's special and thoughtful generals to sit in the town, in the inland army, Especially in the Southern Army, it is considered an army with a relatively positive atmosphere and more combat effectiveness, which effectively guarantees the safety of Jiangzhou, and with these advantages, Cai Jing will know that there is a threat of pirates, but still arrange his son here to be the number one to make money and easy to show his political achievements and be promoted, but it is also these advantages that are also the key arrangements of pirates.

After the launch of the summer harvest plan, it caused a wave of rebellion in the Song army of the whole country, and the Wuwei army and the Jiangzhou city garrison were no exception, and a rebellion suddenly broke out at night, because the military style was better and the proportion of soldiers who would not be rejected by the pirate state was also high, and the vast majority of the soldiers rebelled that night, and swept the entire Jiangzhou area quickly but in a relatively orderly manner under the planning and guidance of the pirates...... That night, Cai Jiu fled quickly, startled, jumped out of bed and fled, barefoot, only wearing pajamas and hurriedly got on the horse, even caring about his wife and children, not to mention that he still had the heart to take the heavy property to prevent escape, and Cai Jing arranged and Cai Jiu himself bought the right-hand man to protect him to escape from the city in the chaos and darkness.

Corrupt officials in Jiangzhou were liquidated. The Cai Jiu family was naturally not spared......

After Cai Jiu, who had escaped death, calmed down, he returned to the city to continue to be the prefect.

The house was ransacked, not to mention the property, not even a single person.

Only the horrible corpses of this one and that one remained, including his wife, son, and housekeeper......

After the reorganization of the army and the government, the immigration frenzy passed, everything returned to normal, the power was in hand, Cai Jiu could make money again, but the whole region was poor, how much could he get if he could make it? In addition, if there is money to send to Tokyo, if you want to help his father, he can't send it, and he is always intercepted halfway, all for the robbers who don't know where to go......

Cai Jing's other powerful relative is a filial piety person, on the side of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Liang Zhongshu's situation is similar to Cai Jiu's. It was also the rebels who suddenly attacked in the middle of the night.......

The Daimyo's Mansion is specially stationed with a spy group led by the prodigal son Yanqing.

But Liang Zhongshu is better than Cai Jiu. At least the wife and children fled together.

He had two super personal bodyguards of the level of Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming by his side, Li Zongtang and Wei Yangyin, who protected and helped escape in time. Li Cheng, the second eunuch of the Daimyo Mansion, and Dadao Wenda are powerful and alert, shrewd and capable generals, and live near Liang Zhongshu's house, and these two generals led the guards to arrive in time to protect them, and they are very familiar with the situation of the city, taking advantage of the darkness and the city's great difficulties, they can successfully break out of the chaotic encirclement and escape by quickly and quickly together......

Afterwards, Liang Zhongshu came back to continue to govern, and he was reluctant to live with his father-in-law Cai Jing, who had just gotten the money he had just gotten with great difficulty, but his wife asked for ...... But the money is also gone halfway.

Cai Jing has a lot of henchmen who are local officials, and the new smug of the imperial court, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang and others, were so troubled by pirates that they didn't have time to use the knife against the local area, and many local Cai Dang saw that the old thief may not have the possibility of a recurrence, or it is not a way out to change to the court, and it is not as eye-catching as in the capital, and the impact is small, so they can insist on persevering, and they are optimistic about Cai Jing, a rare old thief, and still maintain contact with Caifu. But that doesn't mean that we will continue to spend as much money as we have done in the past.

Look at the change in the situation, and then make the decision to abandon or continue to follow Cai Jing.

Cai Jing relied on the little gift that the capital and local party henchmen came these days to show that they had not defected, so that they would not starve to death..........

He can't say that he has suffering.

As for the many beauties and servants in the house, in the summer chaos, some were raised by Cai Jing and were reluctant to let others occupy them, and some were secretly killed and buried, some were directly driven out of the house, some were dismissed, and more were to see that Cai's house was unlucky, there was no way to live here, and try to sneak some valuable things in the house, take advantage of the chaos, quietly seek opportunities, and leave the house in various ways, and never return to escape. The dead died, scattered, escaped, and there was no one left.

At that time, the imperial court was horrified to find that the city of Tokyo was full of gangster residents who had gathered from other places, busy reorganizing the forbidden army, and busily guarding against pirates...... The capital is also in chaos, almost out of control, full of loopholes, people are panicked, they are afraid that they can't take care of their own affairs, and no one has the heart to pay attention to the bad things of the Cai family who stepped down.......

Now the question is,

Without the huge wealth of Cai's mansion to fill the hole, Bai Shizhong's eyes were anxious, his heart was cold, and he immediately rushed to Tong Guanfu, the first person in Wuchen, with a firmer pace.

Tong Guan is very "generous and wise, and speaks of style".

When Bai Shizhong entered the mansion, he saw that the money and things to be confiscated had been prepared by Tong Guan on his own initiative.

The total value is not less than three million.

Bai Shizhong knew that the richest person on the list of wealthy officials in the Great Song Dynasty should be Cai Jing, and the second should be Zhu Mian, who is responsible for Hua Shigang's ability to directly put the special bonus of the treasury into his own family, and it is very likely that Zhu Mian is the richest man and Cai Jing is the second richest. It's just that Zhu Mian is unlucky but fateful, after the summer harvest in Jiangnan, several years of greedy looting and hiding in the Jiangnan mansion The family property was first looted by pirates, and even the mansion that can be recycled, especially the precious materials, have been removed, but I happened to be in Tokyo to shoot the emperor's ass and escape the death, but now it has also become an ordinary well-off household, relying on Fenglu to live. And the third richest person can only be Tong Guan.

Tong Guan supervised the imperial court to spend the most money, so much that in previous years, the western army, which often reached nearly half or even seventy percent of the financial expenditure, was too long, and the filial piety and benefits that could be obtained from it can be imagined. He also has dozens of godsons, both civil and military, the civil one is responsible for being a staff member or an official to make money for him, and the military one is responsible for supervising the various departments of the Western Army and can also make money.

Now that the Western Army is finished, Tong Guan's civil and military sons in the northwest are all unlucky, some were killed on the spot during the rebellion of the Western Army, and those who did not die were reduced to beggars and were gathered in the five cities where the remnants of the Northwest left by the pirates were located, and some were very likely to be taken advantage of the opportunity by the generals to take revenge and die quietly, and those who were hard could only become honest soldiers of the New Western Army.

But the huge wealth that Tong Guan has accumulated in his hands is not less than a big son, and he is in this mansion.
