Chapter 106: Raiding the house like this
On the side of the Dingguo Mansion, Feng Xi came to the gate with a group of Dongchang fans.
Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, heard the news of Feng Xi's arrival and personally went out to greet him.
After all, today's Dingguo Mansion is in turmoil, and Jiang Cheng no longer has the calmness and calmness he used to have.
Besides, Feng Xi came this time to confiscate the property of the Dingguo Mansion, and Jiang Cheng didn't dare to hold it up.
Even if the emperor once said in the court that he only copied half of the family property of the Dingguo Mansion, who knows what Feng Xi would do?
After all, the reputation of the East Factory can be described as infamous, and Jiang Cheng does not dare to ensure the credibility of the East Factory!
Besides, does Dongchang have a reputation at all?
"I don't know that Gonggong Feng came in person, the old man has missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness!" After a few words of greeting, Jiang Cheng welcomed Feng Xi into the living room.
After sitting down, Feng Xi saw Jiang Cheng's worried face, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, our family is just a form of walking."
Before coming, Long Live Lord had already instructed our family to let our family come and walk around the form! ”
Hearing Feng Xi say this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be surprised, but quickly came back to his senses.
"Old minister, thank you to the Holy Lord!" Jiang Cheng knelt facing south, kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, and a tear fell from his wrinkled eyes.
"Husband, please get up!" Feng Xi helped Jiang Cheng up, turned his head and said, "Quickly go to the account room to check the account books of the national government." ”
Fanzi replied and retreated to the account office of Dingguo Mansion, but soon returned to the living room and replied to Feng Xi: "Qiqi Factory Gong, after a lowly investigation, it was found that the total property of Dingguo Mansion was 100,000 taels of silver, and according to His Majesty's will, 50,000 taels of silver should be collected. ”
Feng Xi nodded and ordered, "Then hurry up and do it!" ”
With Feng Xi's command, the front yard of the Dingguo Mansion suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs.
In less than a pillar of incense, Fanzi came to the living room and replied to Feng Xi: "Qiqi factory father, the 'family property' of 50,000 taels of silver has been copied, please check it." ”
As he spoke, Fanzi presented an account book in his hand to Feng Xi.
Feng Xi just glanced at the account book, did not take it, and said: "Since you have finished copying, we don't have to look at it carefully!" ”
Feng Xi turned to Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, and said, "Old man, our family has other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore, and our family will retire!" ”
With that, Feng Xi turned around and left the living room, leaving the Dingguo Mansion with a group of fans from Dongchang.
Jiang Cheng, who was old and long, said goodbye to Feng Xi, turned around and returned to the mansion, and saw the mess in the courtyard, and his mood was undoubtedly gloomy.
Staggered back to the living room, and soon the chief butler of the Dingguo Mansion came to Jiang Cheng quietly and said, "Master, just now Father-in-law Feng has confiscated a total of 50,000 taels worth of property, this is the account book, please take a closer look!" ”
"The old man knows, you go down!" Motioning to the housekeeper to put the account book on the table, Jiang Cheng waved his hand to let the chief butler step back.
Although the emperor was extraordinarily gracious and opened up to the Dingguo Mansion, Jiang Cheng knew that such a favor was only once.
The reason why the emperor opened up to the Dingguo Mansion was because of the merits of the ancestors of the Dingguo Mansion and his conscientious service to the Great Zhou for so many years, plus the fact that the eldest grandson died on the battlefield.
As for the future, I am afraid that I will encounter a similar situation again, and the Dingguo Mansion will want to encounter such kindness again, so I am afraid that I will not think about it anymore.
After all, Jiang Cheng himself was already dying.
Once he is a hundred years later, among his descendants, who can provoke the pillar of the Dingguo Mansion?
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Originally, Jiang Cheng had already asked for the promise of the saint, and after a hundred years, the most motivated person in the Dingguo Mansion would also be his eldest grandson to inherit his title.
But now that the eldest grandson has died on the battlefield, it means that the Dingguo Mansion will have no successor in the future.
After all, Jiang Cheng only has such a son as Jiang Wuyang.
And now it has become an established fact that it has been assigned to the western frontier, that is, in the next few years, the Dingguo Mansion will face a situation where there is no successor.
As for whether his only son Jiang Wuyang will die on the battlefield like his grandson, Jiang Cheng is not worried about this at all.
After all, he already had a grandson who died on the battlefield, and Jiang Cheng didn't believe that Ma Jinzhong, the general of Zhengxi, would take his son to die.
Besides, the death of his grandson on the battlefield was also a pure accident.
After all, the Dingguo Mansion had not lost power before, and Ma Jinzhong, the general of Zhengxi, was not so bold as to let his grandson die.
can only say that the death of his grandson was really an accident.
Originally, Ma Jinzhong wanted to place Jiang Cheng's grandson in the rear to be responsible for the grain and grass, but his grandson was bent on recovering the glory of his ancestors and insisted on going to the front line.
In desperation, Ma Jinzhong had no choice but to agree and place him on the front line.
But just in case, Ma Jinzhong still placed a lot of cronies around him to protect his thoughtfulness.
But even so, the accident happened.
Jiang Cheng's originally optimistic heir is gone.
Let's talk about Jiang Wuyang.
Even if Jiang Wuyang is pardoned a few years later, if he wants to inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo again, I am afraid that it is impossible.
After all, the saint had already expressed his disgust for Jiang Wuyang.
Now that Jiang Wuyang has committed such a big crime, it is not easy for the saint to give him a chance to live, and if he wants to inherit his title, it will undoubtedly be a fool's dream.
Since his son Jiang Wuyang was no longer able to inherit his title, and his grandson died on the battlefield, Jiang Cheng had to set his sights on his grandsons.
"Who is more suitable?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ponder carefully......
After leaving the Dingguo Mansion, Feng Xi took a group of people to the home of Zhang Zhiyuan, the former cabinet chief.
In Zhang Zhiyuan's house, Feng Xi was not as polite as before.
Although he did not deliberately embarrass Zhang Zhiyuan and his family, when it came to Zhang Zhiyuan's family's property, Feng Xi's subordinates were meticulous.
Who made eunuchs and civil officials natural enemies?
Dongchang and Jinyi Weipan copied their homes, and naturally they had a set of means.
Even though some of the family property was originally well concealed by Zhang Zhiyi, who had been imprisoned, it was still found out by Dongchang's fanzi.
Under this investigation, not only Feng Xi, but also Zhang Zhiyuan himself was inexplicably surprised.
A family fortune of three million taels of silver.
And that's not even counting the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't expect that his second brother Zhang Zhiyi would do such a big thing without telling him.
After listening to the numbers reported by his subordinates, Feng Xipi stared at Zhang Zhiyuan with a smile and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, how do you say our family should check it?" ”
Zhang Zhiyuan understood the meaning of Feng Xi's words.
Originally, above the court, Zhang Zhiyuan said that he gave half of his family property.
But now Zhang Zhiyuan found that more than eighty percent of his family property was Zhang Zhiyi's greed for ink.
In other words, if only half of the three million taels were confiscated, Feng Xi and Dongchang would obviously be unwilling......
