Wang Yingxiong's secret room where the dirty silver was hidden was finally found, but the amount of dirty silver in it exceeded Zhang Bin and Huang Chenghao's estimates, and according to Zhao Ru and Ai Nengqi's estimates, there were at least more than 500,000 taels of silver in it.

I don't know if he was greedy so much, or if his hometown sent him some, but these are not the point, as long as the dirty silver is found, whether it is 300,000 taels or 500,000 taels, it is enough to kill him.

Chongzhen is easy to be fooled, as long as he sees these dirty silver, he can understand what kind of person Wang Yingxiong is, Wang Yingxiong can fool again, and he can't fool these hundreds of thousands of taels of dirty silver, this is ironclad evidence of his corruption, even if he is full of mouth, he can't deny it, Daming doesn't have such a high heavenly official as Yulu!

Now, the most important problem is how to let Chongzhen see these dirty silver, directly let people expose it to Chongzhen, and let Chongzhen send someone to search it, this method seems simple, but it is not very safe.

First of all, Chongzhen may not believe it, and if he has empty words and white teeth, let him order to search the mansion of an important minister of the imperial court, and Chongzhen may not agree.

Just kidding, as soon as someone exposed it, he ordered to search the mansion of the important ministers of the imperial court, and it was good to find dirty silver, but if he didn't find it, where would he, the emperor's face, go?

Although Chongzhen sometimes doesn't have a brain, in fact, he has a brain, but sometimes, he thinks too much, the ghost knows what he will think about this matter, and what he thinks, if he doesn't succeed once, he can't make him make an order, and then he always lets people run in front of him to expose it, then he will start to doubt again, what do you mean, insist that I turn my face with a court minister or how to drop!

Then, there is another point, how did you find out about someone's secret room, it's hard to explain, you can find out in such a secret place, it doesn't mean that you have secretly cultivated a group of very powerful people, this kind of thing, once Chongzhen detects it, it will be a big trouble, no matter which emperor it is, he can't tolerate his subordinates secretly cultivating dead soldiers, thugs and the like, because this is a precursor to a rebellion.

Zhang Bin thought about it, but decided to adopt a more secure method, because there was already news from Chongqing Mansion that Zhang Pan had found the place where the Wang family hid the silver, but that place was guarded, and he hadn't dived in to find out how much silver was inside.

In fact, the place where the Wang family hides the silver is very easy to find, because Wang Yingxi is extremely arrogant, and he is not afraid of someone checking him at all, so he did not build any secret rooms or anything like that, but directly built a silver warehouse, so that it is more convenient to guard and carry the silver.

The silver of his old Wang's family is in an uproar, not to mention that there is a lot of money every day, there are at least a few days in a month, and he can't just go in and out, the family is big, and the expenses are more, he also has to move the silver out from time to time, if the secret room is built, it will be troublesome, and he doesn't have to do anything to move the silver around all day, and he looks at the secret room one day.

Therefore, he simply built a large treasury of silver, and sent a large number of cronies to guard it in turn, and supervise each other, so that he would not have to keep an eye on the silver all the time.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, what's wrong with the old Wang family's money, their old Wang family is already rich, his brother Wang Yingxiong was a famous big family in Ba County before he became an official, and now his brother has entered the cabinet as a minister, who dares to come to fight his old Wang family's silver idea, and he can't find death!

Zhang Bin didn't expect Wang Yingxi to be so arrogant, but he was arrogant, just starting from him, and wanted Chongzhen to give an order to search Wang Yingxiong's mansion Chongzhen may not agree, but it is not difficult to fool Chongzhen to order to search Wang Yingxi's mansion, Wang Yingxi is not a member of the court, and he will search it, at most it will cause a sensation in Ba County, and the court in the capital will definitely not be affected.

Even if he didn't find it, Chongzhen just pretended that nothing had happened, and Wang Yingxiong dared to bite him!

Zhang Bin is even ready to fool Chongzhen, Ni Sihui has already arrived in Baoding Mansion at this time, and it is only a day's journey from the capital, but he can't continue to travel because he is "seriously ill", so he can only stay in Baoding Mansion to recuperate.

He was not pretending to be sick, he was tortured by Wang Yingxi and Chen Yaoyan and others, and his body was already bad, and Li Guangchun, the left of the Imperial Palace, suddenly ran over to "administer justice" for him, and he experienced a great joy and sorrow, and he rushed from Chongqing Mansion to the capital all the way, and he fell ill within a few days.

It's not that he has a serious illness, it's just that he is infected with a wind cold, but this wind and cold has to be said in a big way, I didn't see Chongzhen's father Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo and his brother Mingxizong Zhu Youxiao were all because of a wind cold, and they gave their lives in the prime of life, Ni Sihui is nearly seventy years old, and he can't walk because of the wind cold, Chongzhen will definitely not doubt it.

Originally, Zhang Bin was still thinking about how to delay time, he had just the right cold, so after arriving at Baoding Mansion, his wind chill was "serious" to the point that he couldn't do it, Zhang Pan didn't check the hidden silver in Wang Yingxi's mansion, he couldn't get better!

Chongqing Mansion, Zhang Pan is also in a hurry, he didn't have much trouble finding the place where Wang Yingxi's mansion hides silver, so a big silver vault is placed there, every three or five people transport silver inside, or to ship silver, as long as they are not blind, they can find that there are many guards there, and they are heavily guarded, those guards are not blind, he can't sneak in to investigate.

He and Qin Zuoming took more than a dozen elite white-pole soldiers outside the silver vault for a few nights, and Qin Zuoming finally couldn't help it.

That night, we were about to set off from the hidden place and sneak into Wang Yingxi's mansion, Qin Zuoming couldn't help but ask: "Brother Pan, what do you want to do, you always go around other people's silver vaults, and you don't do anything." ”

Zhang Pan said inexplicably: "Do it? What hands? ”

Qin Zuoming said lightly: "Don't you just want to go in and count how much silver there is, let's just knock over the guards and rush in and count it, just a little squire, I'm afraid of a ball, those guards, I can do it alone, if you don't want to kill people, I'll just knock them out, who can know that we did it." ”

"Ahh Zhang Pan looked at him dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked, "Can this work?" ”

He wants to sneak in secretly, investigate, and it's not a robbery, just break in, can it still be called an investigation?

Qin Zuoming doesn't think so, although he is not very old, he has been fighting abroad for many years, and he has already looked down on life and death, when the Tusi rebelled, no matter what the prefect of the county, the prefect or something, it was a knife click, just like killing chickens, he had seen too much of this kind of thing, and his heart couldn't help but be a little manic, and he was a little rough in doing things.

If the head falls off, there will be a big scar at the mouth of the bowl, and I'm afraid of a fart.

Besides, Wang Yingxi is just a squire, and it is such a big deal to kill him directly, who can know that they did it!

However, roughness also has the advantage of being rough, Zhang Pan thought about it carefully, it was really like this, he rushed in directly, he was afraid of a ball, this is not the capital, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, where are there so many scruples.

He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea, let's rush in directly, but don't kill people, just knock out." Moreover, after entering, we can't move nothing, we must pretend to rob money, crazy robbery, grab as much as we can, don't let them know that we went in to count the silver, it is better to let them think that we are Jiangyang thieves. ”

When Qin Zuoming heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he grabbed the silver, okay, anyway, Wang Yingxi is all ill-gotten gains, if he doesn't rob it, he won't rob it, he howled excitedly: "Brothers, find some sticks to take advantage of, wait until you go in, and knock all the guards out for him!" “

Now, those elite white-pole soldiers are also energetic, robbing the silver, and they are still ordered to rob it, without taking a little responsibility, who doesn't like silver!

They ran out of the smoke as soon as they slipped away, and soon found a bunch of arm-thick wooden sticks, Zhang Pan took them in his hand and tried them, and then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, fight quickly, after snatching it, we will run to the south of the city, and then go out of the city and go to the north of the city to meet the brothers who watch the horses." “

A group of people rushed to Wang Yingxi's mansion, and they had walked the route to the silver vault several times, and they were familiar with the road, and soon, they came to the outside of the silver vault.

There are actually not many guards in this silver vault, only a dozen or so, there are not as many of them as there are, if they want to fight, they are naturally not their opponents, but they can't sneak in silently, this time, they are here to "rob", there is nothing to scruple about, in the dark, Zhang Pan pointed at random, and Qin Zuoming took more than ten elite white pole soldiers to sneak behind those guards.

After a while, there was a muffled sound of "dong dong" in the darkness, and many of the guards were knocked unconscious by a slap before they knew what was going on, and when they realized that something was wrong, there were only two left, and the two guards were so frightened that they were back to back, shouting into the darkness: "What people, what are you doing?" ”

Qin Zuoming directly led people to surround him and said arrogantly: "What are you doing, robbery, hamapi!" ”

Immediately afterwards, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen people gathered around him and made a mess, and the two guards were instantly beaten all over their heads and fell to the ground without moving.

At this time, Zhang Pan quickly rushed to the door of the silver warehouse, didn't think about it, and kicked at the door, with a "bang", the big iron lock on the door jumped directly, and the door opened in response.

Good fellows, as soon as they rushed in, they were blinded by the silver in the room, which was full of wooden shelves of one person's height, neatly and neatly, full of silver, and Zhang Pan roughly counted the amount of silver on a wooden shelf, and then counted the number of wooden shelves, and then waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, take as much as you can." ”

When Qin Zuoming heard this, he immediately rushed to the wooden frame with the elite of the white pole soldiers, and soon, they all pretended to have bulging stomachs, and they couldn't fit it anymore, Zhang Pan also carried a large handful of silver like lightning, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

At this time, the people in the entire mansion were almost awakened, and as soon as they ran out, they met more than a dozen guards who were resting in shifts, but such a few people were a dish in front of them, and after a muffled sound of "dong dong dong", more than a dozen guards all lay down, and they couldn't stop them at all.

When Wang Yingxi came to the silver vault with a bunch of guards in disheveled clothes, Zhang Pan and Qin Zuoming and their early run were gone, and only the guards were left all over the ground.

Wang Yingxi is not in the mood to care whether these guards are dead or alive at this time, he only cares about his own silver, he is angry and leads people to run into the silver vault to see, the silver ingots are scattered all over the ground, however, only the silver on the wooden frame closest to the gate has been moved, the other wooden frames are good, no one has been moved, at most it is only a few thousand taels of silver, the loss is not very big, but this matter is quite serious, he, he dared to run my Wang family to grab the silver, he is impatient!

Wang Yingxi was so angry that he roared loudly: "Go and ask Chen Yaoyan to come over to me immediately, how can he be the prefect, someone dares to run our Wang family to rob the silver!" ”

When Chen Yaoyan heard the news, he was so frightened that he hurriedly organized a search all over the city, but unfortunately, Zhang Pan and they had already left the city, and they also deliberately scattered a few silver ingots along the way, making people think that they were running south, but in fact, they had already beaten their horses to the stone pillar overnight.

The amount of silver taels in Wang Yingxi's mansion has finally been clarified, and according to Zhang Pan's estimate, it should be about 1.6 million taels!

When Zhang Bin received the news, he immediately asked people to inform Li Guangchun that he could take Ni Sihui and his son into Beijing.

Li Guangchun immediately took Ni Sihui and his son to set off after receiving the news, and the next afternoon in the afternoon, they pinched the point from Fuchengmen into the capital, at this time naturally they could not disturb the emperor anymore, he could only take Ni Sihui and his son to the Huguo Temple near the Duchayuan to live first, and then go to the palace early the next morning, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

At about midnight that night, Ni Sihui was about to go to bed, when Li Guangchun suddenly came to his bedroom with a man in black, and he couldn't help but arch his hand curiously: "Lord Li, who is this?" ”

Li Guangchun said respectfully: "This is the young master of the crown prince, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, the secretary of the military department, Zhang Bin and Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Bin didn't mask at this time, he knew that an upright minister like Ni Sihui, even if he was tortured, would not betray his benefactor, and it would not be beautiful if he concealed it in front of him.

Ni Sihui listened to this long list of official positions, looked at Zhang Bin's appearance again, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Lord Zhang is really young and promising, I don't know what Lord Zhang came to visit late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Zhang Bin didn't go around with him, but directly arched his hand and said: "Ni Shilang has won the award, this official has been supported by Lord Bi, I heard that Lord Bi was sad and cried because of your affairs, and I really can't get used to seeing those corrupt officials and corrupt officials running rampant, so I specially asked Lord Huang to take action and administer justice for you." “

Ni Sihui only understood at this time that this was his great benefactor, and he always thought that Huang Chenghao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, was helping him, and he couldn't help but bow his hand and said deeply: "Thank you Lord Zhang for helping." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and sighed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I originally thought that if Lord Huang made a move, I would be able to get justice for you, but I never thought that this Wang Yingxiong would deceive the emperor with clever words, so that the emperor could move uncertainly, and he never issued an order to thoroughly investigate Wang Yingxiong, Wang Weizhang, and Chen Yaoyan, and it is difficult for your family property to come back." ”

When Ni Sihui heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly: "This, the evidence is conclusive, so many people were forcibly robbed by them and robbed of their family property, and he Wang Yingxiong can still deceive the emperor!" ”

Zhang Bin still sighed and said: "These treacherous villains, they don't have other skills, but they are quite good at deceiving the emperor, the emperor listened to Wang Yingxiong's sophistry, and he didn't believe that Wang Yingxiong would use his power for personal gain and take it by force." ”

Ni Sihui couldn't help but say anxiously: "What should I do then?" ”

It doesn't matter if he suffers a little by himself, the problem is that he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to suffer with him, if the family property is not returned, how will his children and grandchildren live in the future!

Zhang Bin just wanted to take advantage of this to let him fool Chongzhen, otherwise, it would be basically impossible to let these upright ministers talk nonsense in front of the emperor.
