The green-robed official saw the men in black fall to the ground one after another, his face was full of stunned expressions, and his subordinates also stopped. Chief Lin took the opportunity to escape from him, and staggered to the courtyard wall not far away, panting.

Qian Jin glanced at the green-robed official and said indifferently, "Who is that...... Your accomplices are all hanging, now it's time for us to talk. ”

The green-robed official got up from the ground with a sneer and said, "Qian Shi said, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, there is no need to kill them all, right?" ”

"Kill you?" Qian Jin approached the green-robed official, smiled and said, "How can I be reluctant? Not only will it not kill you, huh...... but also good wine and meat. ”

The green-robed official's face showed a suspicious look. However, since he has fallen into the hands of Qian Jin, he has prepared for the worst. Taking advantage of Qian Jin's defense, he hurried towards a man in black who had fallen to the ground, picked up a lancet that had fallen to the ground, and was about to break himself.

Qian Jin had already seen his movements, and with a wave of the embroidered spring knife in his hand, the green-robed official's hand holding the handle of the knife was cut off in half, and blood flowed like an infusion. Qian Jin shook his head and said to Li Bin: "This knife is not sharp enough, when I return to Guanhai City, I will give you a good knife." ”

Li Bin hurriedly thanked: "That dare is good, the lower official thanked him first." ”

Qian Jin nodded, and then said to Mu Qing, who showed an envious expression on the side: "Don't worry, you Mu Qi is indispensable." However, you give me a good look at these two first, and you must leave me alive. ”

Li Bin and Mu Qingdang tied up Director Lin and escorted them to a utility room next to them, bandaged the severed hand of the green-robed official by the way, and stuffed a rag in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

"Mu Qi, I'm sorry for you to watch the two of them here, and Li Qienvoy and I will open the door to your family. Remember, these two are cash cows, and you can't make a mistake. ”

Mu Qing patted his chest: "Qian Shi said that you should put a hundred hearts, I am good at this." ”

Qian Jin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then led Li Bin towards the front yard.

Along the way, you can see maids running around. Seeing their panicked expressions, it must be that the big tree of Master Lin has fallen, and the birds perched on the trees are also busy looking for a way to survive.

Director Lin has been working hard for decades, and there are naturally some valuable items at home. Some of these domestic servants took advantage of the chaos to loot and quietly take away some valuables that they had been paying attention to on weekdays. really responded to the old saying "the tree falls and the tree scatters".

By the time the two of them arrived at the gate, Hong Menda had already led the brocade guards to smash the door. Seeing this, Li Bin stepped forward to remove the wooden tables and other objects stacked at the gate, and then pulled the deadbolt on the door. With a bang, the door was slammed open, and the brocade guards poured in like water opening the floodgates.

Hong Menda also followed Jinyiwei into the front yard, and when he saw Qian Jin, he asked, "Brother, is it going well here?" ”

Qian Jin nodded and said to Hong Menda: "Brother Hong, let's start working." Remember, we are here for wealth, and remember not to commit murder. ”

Every time Chen Guo raids his house, his head is rolling, and to put it bluntly, it is a means for the imperial power to deter the world. As a modern person, Qian Jin has always adhered to a truth in his bones: that is, "disaster does not affect the family". Although he can't change the tradition at the moment, as long as it is a family raid case he presides, he will try not to die if he can.

Hong Menda has rarely come out to act once in the past few years, and I wanted to take this opportunity to let the sons and daughters come out to see the blood and experience. Seeing that Qian Jin was not allowed to kill, he frowned, and it was not easy to say anything, after all, without Qian Jin, he would not be able to share such a good errand.

Start work, get to work.

At that moment, the brocade guards were divided into several columns and ran to all parts of the courtyard, and the embroidered spring knives in their hands were all unsheathed.

The first task of raiding the house is to control the personnel in the offender's family, firstly, to prevent those who have a heart from taking the sheep by the hand, and secondly, to prevent those involved in the family from escaping in chaos. Jin Yiwei was very proficient in this way, and within a quarter of an hour, he gathered all the family members and servants in the courtyard, divided them into several columns and stood in the front yard, and then made a register of all the personnel.

After inspection, Director Lin had a total of five wives and concubines, three sons, and one daughter. There were also more than 100 stewards and domestic servants. I can't imagine that this Lin is a six-grade official, and he can actually feed such a large family of people, and he can't do it without other inputs.

Qian Jin became more and more confident in this business. He stood still in front of the courtyard, took out the holy decree and read it aloud, firstly to deter the people of the Lin Mansion, and secondly, to prove the legitimacy of himself and Jinyiwei to raid the house.

After reading the holy decree, he said aloud: "The people of the Lin Mansion have listened, Your Majesty is a wise man through the ages, and he can't bear to kill innocents indiscriminately, so as long as you report the location where the Lin chief is hiding the stolen silver, you can go back to your own home." This official is the champion of the new department, Qian Jin, the official worships the Son of Heaven, and the Hanlin Academy edits. As long as you are obedient, this official is willing to guarantee your thoughtfulness with the head of the item. ”

The people in the courtyard were still frightened birds, and some of them had the courage to hear that Qian Jin was willing to protect them, so they began to mumble quietly.

Since ancient times, this has not ended well regardless of dignity and humility. Even if they can escape the crime of being killed, most of the men will be confiscated into the army, and the women will be slaves and maids, and some will be sold into official prostitutes, which is really miserable. Qian Jin's approach is unheard of by everyone.

Hong Menda also frowned and asked, "Brother Qian, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." If you sell all these people, it will be a lot of income. ”

"Don't worry, if Your Majesty asks, there will naturally be me. This official is here to fine today, not to kill. Qian Jin said with the old god there.

"Fines?" The first time Hong Menda heard this word, he was a little confused.

Qian Jin didn't want to explain more. The fine was something he came up with on his own. Chen Guo likes to use heavy canons and kill people at every turn, although it can have a sufficient deterrent effect. But if the entire bureaucratic system of Chen Guo is corrupt, then if all the people are killed, no one will do anything.

It's not the same with fines. Don't you like to collect money? Okay, you can save slowly. When the fish is fat, let's have another net to harvest, so that your decades of hard work will be in vain.

Not to mention this, right now, Jinyi Wei is calling the people from the Lin Mansion one by one to ask. Two quarters of an hour later, Youjin Yiwei reported the results of the investigation to Hong Menda. No one here knew where Chief Lin was hiding the stolen silver, not even his wives and concubines, and children. It seems that this Lin master is very cautious.

Qian Jin couldn't help frowning. Today, he finally said that His Majesty was moved, if he returned in vain, then he would become a big joke, and it would be difficult for the emperor to explain to the Queen Mother at that time.

His mind turned, and he decided to ask Master Lin in person, so he glanced at Hong Menda. The latter understood, so he instructed Jinyiwei to take care of the people in the courtyard, and he led Li Bin and others to follow.

After returning to the utility room in the back garden, Qian Jin and Hongmen Dajiang Lin were separately brought to a miscellaneous room for interrogation.

Closing the door, he said straight to the point: "Master Lin, I have no grudge with you in recent days, but it is nothing more than that you have offended a friend of mine by selling official addiction, and if this tone is not spilled, I will not be able to mix on the ground in Kyoto." Don't worry, as long as you hand over all the stolen money, we will uncover this paragraph; If you don't know the current affairs, Your Majesty said that you will be severely punished, and when the time comes, ...... No wonder I'm ruthless. ”

Although Director Lin is afraid of death, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, just because Qian Jin has three eyes and a few words, he wants him to believe that he is also underestimating him. He opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I...... You're going to see me...... Son again. "Obviously, his vocal cords had been strangled and injured by the green-robed officer.

Qian Jin discussed with Hong Menda and decided to let him see his son. About half a burnt incense later, the three sons of Chief Lin were led to the utility room by the soldiers. The three of them were in their thirties, and the youngest was in their teens, and they couldn't cry when they saw his father.

Director Lin is also sad. Listening to the three sons intermittently telling the story of what happened in the front yard, and hearing that Qian Jin was not going to pursue the family, he was a little relieved, so he intermittently explained some aftermath. When he was done, he kicked all three of his sons out of the utility room.

Now there are only three people left in the utility room: Qian Jin, Hong Menda and Director Lin.

I saw Director Lin kneeling down in front of Qian Jin and said, "Qian Shi talks about reading the book of saints, presumably ...... You won't deceive me, a down-and-out man. Where the silver is hidden...... It doesn't hurt to tell you, I just hope that Qian Shijiao will keep his promises. ”

"Director Lin, don't worry, what I Qian Jin said is a spittle. Besides, I have to rely on Director Lin a lot in the future......"

Director Lin is also an old fritter in the officialdom, and he knows that Qian Jin will use himself to pull more colleagues into the water. But at the moment, he himself is meat on the chopping block, where can he control others. He hesitated for a moment, then finally pointed out the window and said, "The silver is there...... Under the old locust tree. ”

"What?" Qian Jin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

No wonder Director Lin chose the old locust tree as the place to end his life, it is estimated that he hopes that he can watch these riches every day after he dies, even if he is a ghost, he will not be wronged.

Hongmen Dadang even went out and ordered the sons to work. Not long after, ten wooden chests full of gold bars were dug up, worth about 300,000 taels. Qian Jin is quite satisfied with this result, after all, Director Lin is only a six-grade official, and it is not bad to be able to make so much money.

Next, Qian Jin's target shifted to the green-robed official.

After asking Director Lin, I learned that this official's surname was Cai, and he was the director of the Ministry of Meritorious Selection, the chief official assessment and promotion, and he was also a close confidant of Wang Shangshu and Liu Shilang. There are tens of thousands of officials in the Chen State, and there are a lot of filial tributes to the officials every year, so the family background of this surnamed Cai is also very rich.

Qian Jin didn't think much about it, even if he drew a scoop according to the gourd, he copied the house of Chief Cai with Hong Menda, and got more than 600,000 taels of stolen silver.

Looking at the mountains of gold and silver, Qian Jin sighed in his heart: No wonder everyone in Chen Guo wants to be officials, it turns out that these officials are so rich in oil and water, and they have opened two workshops by themselves, and they have earned thousands of taels of silver after working hard. Since you are so rich, then it is no wonder that I accept the fine.
