The new emperor ascended the throne, Yan Song and his party were wiped out, it stands to reason that the dynasty should be celebrated, but this is not the case.

Most of the courtiers were trembling and full of fear, which can be said to be terrified, why is this?

It's very simple, under Yan Song's "vigorous promotion", corruption has become a trend, and there are really very few people who are not greedy or corrupt in the Manchu Dynasty, and they are all afraid!

In case, the emperor initiates madness, as long as there are corrupt officials, all of them will be severely punished, then how can it be done.

Of course Zhu Zaikun would not do this, and Yang Cong did not plan to purge all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but he also did not intend to spare these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

This time, he is going to be ruthless, to deter these guys, so that they can completely change their corruption.

As for how to deter these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is very simple, punish the three clans of the big corrupt official Yan Song, confiscate all their family property, and let these guys increase their memory!

Yan Song has been in the officialdom for more than 50 years, and has been in the cabinet for no less than 20 years, and has controlled the most oily and water-rich yamen such as the Ministry of Officials and the Nanjing Household Department for a long time.

Yang Cong was also curious about this problem, so he decided to personally lead the team to raid Yan Song's home.

On this day, the capital can be described as an empty alley, because the imperial court has already posted a notice that the newly promoted cabinet scholars, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Marquis of Hui'an, and the emperor Yang Cong will personally go to the home of the corrupt official Yan Song!

Before dawn, a team of brocade guards had already surrounded the entire Yan Mansion, and the people who came to see the excitement also gathered on the periphery of the Yan Mansion one after another, and there were people everywhere on the streets, walls, and even the big trees on the side of the street, and everyone wanted to know how much money Yan Song, a big corrupt official who "shook the ancient and modern", was greedy.

After the early dynasty, Yang Cong and Lu Bing came to the gate of Yanfu with hundreds of brocade guards in high spirits.

At this time, Yan Song and Yan Shifan had already subdued the law, and the descendants of the Yan family had already been grounded in the mansion, and the door of the Yan mansion had already been opened, just waiting for them to go in and copy.

Yang Cong deliberately ordered the Jinyi guard to discharge the array in front of the gate of the Yan Mansion, and then he waved his hand as if he was singing, and said loudly: "Go in and search for this official, but don't let go of any valuable property!" ”

Hundreds of brocade guards responded to the order and rushed into the Yan Mansion quickly, that scene was really a bit of a He.

What you want is this effect, to see if you corrupt officials dare to be greedy in the future.

Yang Cong sneered in his heart, and then beckoned Lu Bing to stride towards Yan's mansion.

Yan Song's mansion, he really hasn't been here, after all, the two are mortal enemies, so it is impossible for him to come to visit Yan Song.

When he walked into the Yan Mansion, even a rich kid like him was speechless.

Yan Mansion is indeed extremely luxurious, not to mention the strange flowers and plants on both sides of the road, even the flower fence, which is built with good white marble, and the palace is not so luxurious!

This walked into the welcome lobby and saw that it was even more incredible, whether it was a table, chair or bench, it was made of expensive ebony and mahogany, this guy, how much silver did he get!

Yang Cong bored a walk around the lobby, and accidentally found that the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall seemed to be very charming, and he couldn't help but walk forward curiously and take a closer look.

Good guy, as soon as he saw the signature on it, he was immediately stunned, Su Shi, Wu Daozi, Fan Kuan......

The calligraphy and paintings hanging in this lobby are all made by everyone in the previous dynasty!

As for whether it is a fake, Yang Cong has no doubts about this, just kidding, what kind of character is Yan Song, can he put a fake here to make people laugh?

Since people dare to put it here, it is definitely genuine!

Although the calligraphy and painting in this year are not very valuable, it also depends on whose calligraphy and painting it is, like the calligraphy and painting of these famous artists in the former dynasty, that is at least a thousand taels of one, that is to say, just a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in this lobby are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Yang Cong sighed secretly, and then explained to Lu Bingdao: "Let them be careful when they see the calligraphy and paintings, don't break them, maybe one is thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels." ”

Damn, it's worth so much!

Although Lu Bing has money, he doesn't have the money to this extent, thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels to buy a calligraphy and painting, to be honest, he really can't afford it!

He hurriedly confessed, and asked all the Jinyi guards who participated in the raid to be careful not to damage the calligraphy and paintings.

In fact, Yan Song's own calligraphy and painting are also more valuable, due to the deliberate pursuit of some shameless officials, Yan Song writes at least a few hundred taels, if it can be passed on to future generations, his calligraphy and painting are definitely more than a few thousand taels.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, so I won't skip them for the time being.

Yang Cong and Lu Bing waited in the reception hall for less than an hour, and then a Jinyi Wei Qianhu came over with an account book, Lu Bing took it, opened it and took a look, good guy, the entire account book was full.

However, this gold and silver seem to be a little miscounted, no matter how much Yan Song drops, it is impossible for him to be greedy for such a little, right?

He couldn't help but wonder: "That's all? ”

The hundred households hurriedly arched their hands and said, "My lord, we have just searched the main house, and the rest of the house has not yet started." ”

Lu Bing nodded, handed the account book to Yang Cong, and immediately stopped talking.

Yang Cong took the account book and saw that the gold and silver were indeed a little less, only a few thousand taels, how could it be?

However, Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son are also extravagant enough, the basin for washing the face, the bowl for eating, and even the spittoon are all made of gold and silver, and these families alone add up to hundreds of catties!

Yang Cong flipped through it casually, and then confessed: "Send some people to dig and dig three feet into the ground to find out the dirty silver that Yan's father and son were corrupt." ”

When the thousand households heard this, they hurriedly surrendered their hands and left.

After about an hour, the thousand households finally came over in a hurry, and said with a happy face: "My lord, the secret room where the Yan family and his son hid their belongings has been found. ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but say with interest: "Oh, take this official to have a look." ”

With that, he got up directly, waved his hand at Lu Bing, and then followed the thousand households out.

Under the leadership of the thousand households, they turned left and right, turned for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally came to a rather spacious courtyard, according to the thousand households, this is the courtyard where Yan Shifan lives.

At this time, there is no trace of digging in the courtyard, but the master bedroom has been dug into a mess, and a huge gap has been dug up in the original wardrobe, and there seem to be many brocade guards holding torches counting things below.

Yang Cong walked down the stairs dug out and saw that it was not a secret room, but many secret rooms connected together, and the secret room was full of chests full of gold and silver treasures, and a rough estimate showed that there were at least several million taels.

Is this right, the corrupt belongings of Yan Song's father and son should be hidden in these secret rooms.

In the end, it took nearly a day for the Yan Mansion to finally complete the search.

The amount of gold and silver obtained should not be much, roughly more than 30,000 taels of gold and more than 4 million taels of silver.

However, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, among which there are more than 3,000 calligraphy and paintings.

The value of these things is difficult to estimate, for example, a single "Qingming Riverside Map" is worth no less than 100,000 taels, and the rest, if you sell it, it is not a problem to sell it casually.
