Zhu Houzhao had already made it clear that the arrest and raiding of the house and the execution of the rebel party were all political achievements, and gold and silver rewards would be given afterwards, and the amount of rewards would be directly linked to the income from the raid.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Jie, the Taiping Marquis who was in charge of raiding the house, Gao Feng, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and Xu Jing, the head of the Royal Taxation Bureau, took the officers and soldiers of the three roads to the mansion of Liu Jian and other rebels against the party in Beijing.

The officers and men of the three-way raiders also had their own division of labor.

The first thing to be confiscated was Wang Yue's mansion.

Although Wang Yue used to be the prime minister of the inner court, he also had his own outer house in the Chongwenmen area.

The person responsible for confiscating Wang Yue's family property was Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping.

At the same time as the raid of the family, Wang Yue's family was arrested, and the person responsible for the arrest of Wang Yue's family was Li Jun, the commander of the capital.

Zhang Jie and Li Jun rushed to Wang Yue's outer house one after another, and Wang Yue's outer house had been controlled by Zhu Houzhao's decree as early as the end of October, so it was easy to arrest and confiscate.

Li Jun, who was in charge of taking people, first rushed into Wang Yue's outer house with people, and after entering Wang Yue's outer house, Li Jun began to take people directly, and the officers and soldiers directly broke down the doors of various rooms, drove out Wang Yue's relatives who had been detained in various rooms one by one, and escorted them to the prisoner car.

And Wang Yue, who came with the escort, could only watch his relatives being escorted by a car, and couldn't help crying for a while: "Your Majesty! The old slave regretted it! The old slave should not have murdered you, you begged for their mercy! ”

"Wang Yue, don't wail, Your Majesty can't hear it, but I didn't expect that you, a eunuch, would raise so many women, and you have always been greedy for a lot of silver, and you will finally give your greedy silver to this Hou Ye to identify honestly, otherwise don't blame this Hou Ye for being unkind to you!"

Taiping Marquis Zhang Jie waved his hand as he spoke: "Copy!" ”

As soon as Zhang Jie's voice fell, the officers and soldiers from the two roads immediately rushed into Wang Yue's mansion, and Wang Yue cried even more miserably when he saw this: "Oh my God! This is all the wealth I have accumulated for most of my life! ”

No one paid attention to Wang Yue's cries, and the officers and soldiers were only busy copying one by one, tearing down wall by wall, and carrying boxes by box.

Prior to this, Zhu Houzhao had already asked Xu Jing to prepare a professional team of copyists, so at this time, Mr. Abacus and clerks wearing uniforms with the logo of the Royal Taxation Bureau began to be counted.

"Statistics, a box of silver totals 1,824 taels and seven cents!"

"Statistics, a box of gold totals two thousand four hundred and seventy-four twenty-six cents!"

"According to statistics, one box of fields is counted as 245 hectares in the upper field, 123 hectares in the middle field, 56 hectares in the lower field, 420 hectares in the upper field, 645 hectares in the middle field, and 127 hectares in the lower field!"

"Statistics, a box of IOUs, a total of 3,400 taels of gold and silver!"

"Statistics, Tang Yan Liben painted a volume!"

"Statistics, the Book of King Xi of Jin is a volume!"

……

The sound of abacus, the sound of sealing the box and the sound of people's reports kept ringing in the ears of Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping, and also sounded in Wang Yue's ears.

Taiping Marquis Zhang Jie was excited when he heard it.

When Wang Yue heard this, he was in pain.

"Father-in-law, I didn't expect you to be the prime minister for so many years, and you have accumulated such a big family business, good guy, the fertile land is tens of thousands of acres, you have no son or daughter as a eunuch, who can you leave in the future!" Zhang Jie couldn't help asking.

Wang Yue cried as if he was crying, and replied in frustration: "It's all the emperor's, it's all the emperor's!" ”

Whether Wang Yue meant that these family wealth was all greedy from the royal property or that all this had become the property of Emperor Zhu Houzhao after all, at least now Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping, has confiscated a lot of property from Wang Yue, and even surpassed his family business as a Marquis of Taiping.

Taiping Marquis Zhang Jie shook his head a little incredulously: "Wang Yue, Wang Yue, you have one less, and you have a lot of others!" ”

Wang Yue did not reply.

And Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping, did not talk nonsense, but ordered the officers and soldiers to continue to confiscate, and it took two days of busy work before Wang Yue's family property was confiscated and all of them were taken to the newly built treasury of the Royal Taxation Bureau.

……

Meanwhile.

Gao Feng also rushed to Li Dongyang's mansion on the right side of Xuanwumenli Street with all the officers and soldiers.

And half an hour after Wang Yue's outer mansion was confiscated, Gao Feng also began to confiscate Li Dongyang's mansion here.

Li Dongyang's mansion was rewarded to him by Emperor Hongzhi that year, covering an area of not small, and it is next to the Royal West Garden, which is the closest area to the palace.

At this time, Li Dongyang's mansion was still brightly lit, but the officers and soldiers of Jinyiwei had already controlled it.

Jinyi Weidu commanded the servant Guo Rong to personally press the formation and besiege Li Dongyang's mansion.

However, at this time, the people of the Li Mansion only knew that Li Dongyang had been imprisoned and did not know what crime Li Dongyang had committed, and even they had just learned that the ministers of the court had pleaded with the emperor.

And the people of the Li Mansion have not seen an official who was released after entering the Jinyi Guard, coupled with Hongzhi's preferential treatment of civil officials in the past 18 years, the people of the Li Mansion thought that Li Dongyang would still be released at first.

Therefore, at the beginning, Li Dongyang's fourth brother Li Dongming, who was second only to Li Dongyang in Li Fuzhong at this time, also directly questioned Guo Ronglai: "Guo Tangguan, dare to ask you what you are doing!" With such a mobilization of people to surround our Li Mansion, is it possible that we want to treat our Li family as a thief, and it is difficult for our Li family to rebel? ”

"Who are you?"

Guo Rong did not answer Li Dongming's words, but asked directly.

"Li Dongming, the former inspector of Shandong, and my brother is the first assistant today", Li Dongming stroked his beard after speaking, thinking that Guo Rong would give him some face.

And Guo Rong shouted directly: "Take it!" ”

Suddenly, it was the two brocade guards who rushed up and pressed Li Dongming to the ground, and at the same time, the iron chain was also tied up.

Guo Rong said at this time: "You are right, your Li family has indeed become a thief, but your Li family has committed the crime of rebellion!" ”

Guo Rong said and took out the holy decree: "Obey the decree!" Li Dongyang killed the first emperor, the crime is unforgivable, and all Li Dongyang's relatives are specially detained! Don't let anyone go! ”

As he spoke, the two Jinyi guards rushed into the Li family's mansion in a neat line, and Li Hong, the housekeeper who had just rushed back to the mansion and was about to wait for Li Dongyang to come back to report the failure of the extermination plan, instinctively shouted: "What do you want to do, this is the first assistant to the cabinet!" ”

And before Li Hong finished speaking, he was knocked to the ground by Jinyiwei and detained.

Li Dongyang is a native of the capital, and he has been a wealthy family since the Tianshun period, and the population is naturally quite large, so it took more than an hour just to detain the relatives of the Li Mansion.

At this time, Gao Feng also escorted Li Dongyang to rush here, and pointed to Li Dongyang's family and asked Li Dongyang: "Li Gefu, how do you feel?" ”

Li Dongyang didn't answer Gao Feng, he really didn't want to say anything at this time, he was now afraid of being settled by Zhu Houzhao before his death and Emperor Hongzhi after his death, so he could only be silent.

However, when Li Dongyang saw that he had even affected his family from being honored to now becoming a prisoner, he was quite ashamed, and he didn't dare to look up at his family.

After Li Dongyang's family was arrested, Gao Feng ordered: "Raid the house!" ”

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Inland Revenue began to confiscate the Li Mansion.

For a time, boxes of gold and silver jewelry were brought out, antiques and jade were copied out, and property deeds were searched.

When Li Dongyang saw a jade Buddha being carried out, he even became excited: "This is the jade Buddha left by the old man and father, it is an object of the Southern Dynasty, you vulgar people should be light!" ”

"You can't copy this, this is the wine vessel used by Zhou Gong!"

Li Dongyang shouted excitedly.

"Li Dongyang, your Li family is really quite well-established! Lots of treasures! Gao Feng said, "All sealed!" ”

Li Dongyang also sat on the ground dejected at this time.
