Xiao Yang's mansion, with an order, hundreds of officials rushed into Xiao Yang's house and began to raid the house.

Today, Li Weiguo personally brought people to raid Xiao Yang's home, but he was busy for most of the day, and the total value of gold and silver coins, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, grain, cloth, etc., which were copied out before and after, was less than 300,000 taels of silver.

Of course, the Xiao family's real estate, shop pù and title deeds are not counted for the time being.

You must know that Chongming County is a first-class county, with an area of 100,000 hectares of cultivated land, and Xiao Yang alone has occupied 10,000 hectares, equivalent to 150,000 mu, and all of them are good fields.

Xiao Yang has been in Chongming County for decades, and his family property has at least a few million taels of silver if not 10 million taels of silver, but now he only copies out less than 300,000 taels of silver, which is far from the same.

Even the four heads of the Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan families who came to raid the house with Li Weiguo didn't believe what they saw in front of them, they also entrenched in Chongming County for hundreds of years, and each family took advantage of one or two million taels of silver, not to mention the largest Xiao family.

Especially the head of the Su family, he donated more than 200 merchant ships of the Su family to Li Weiguo in one go to gamble on the Yangtze River break, and he was agreed by Li Weiguo to take him to copy Xiao Yang's house, but now he has not copied out anything valuable, how can he be willing?

"Impossible! Xiao Yang's family property has at least five million taels of silver, excluding fixed assets such as real estate, land deeds, and shops, and other properties have at least two million taels of silver, which must have been hidden by him to see if there is a secret compartment or secret room! ”

Without waiting for Li Weiguo to speak, the head of the Su family was anxious and ordered someone to dig three feet into the ground to continue the "treasure hunt".

Li Weiguo didn't stop it, but found out that he had to be assigned to Li Weiguo in the end, and having the head of the Su family who actively helped saved Li Weiguo from worrying.

The head of the Su family quickly paid attention to the Xiao family's housekeeper, coercing and enticing him, and Li Weiguo turned a blind eye to this.

"It's a secret room! My lord, I found it! ”

With an exclamation, an official finally dug three feet into the ground and found a secret room in the rockery of the Xiao family's back house.

Li Weiguo saw that the secret room was locked, and his heart was suddenly happy, these eight achievements are where Xiao Yang's treasure is.

"What are you doing? Smash it open! ”

Li Weiguo gave an order, and without waiting for the official to make a move, the head of the Su family couldn't wait to grab the sledgehammer and rush up to destroy the lock of the secret room.

"Master, the slave is sorry for you! This huge family business is ruined in the hands of the old slave! ”

Steward Xiao suddenly shouted loudly, rushed to the door of the secret room like crazy, and crashed to death on it.

Li Weiguo sighed, whether it is a good person or a bad person, there are always followers and die-hard loyalists, this Xiao housekeeper obviously saw that the secret room was discovered, and the Xiao family's property could not be hidden, so he felt ashamed of his master, so he had to apologize with death.

Li Weiguo ordered the body to be carried away, and he did not feel any discomfort, because the enemy did not deserve sympathy.

Soon, the head of the Su family came out of the secret room and said to Li Weiguo: "Congratulations, my lord, Xiao Yang's entire family background is inside!" ”

Li Weiguo was overjoyed, and hurriedly led people into the secret room, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

The secret room is divided into two parts, and there are more than 100 large boxes on the left, which are neatly stacked with gold ingots, silver ingots, gold bars, silver bars, gold bricks, silver bricks, etc. On the right side are more than a dozen rows of shelves, with wooden boards divided into small grids of different sizes, lengths, heights, etc., in which there are thousands of finely carved jewelry, jade, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, swords, books, etc.

After some counting, Zhang Xiaoliu handed over the account records to Li Weiguo for inspection.

Whoa, you deserve to be a big landlord!

Li Weiguo couldn't help but marvel, the accounts recorded 24,300 taels of gold, 1,173,000 taels of silver, and other jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., were roughly estimated by the heads of the four families of Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan, and about one million taels of silver.

"My lord, these two boxes have seals on them, which are ready to be sent to Lord Lu Jianying of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and there are 320,000 taels of silver in them, and all the silver is engraved with the words 'Chongming County Household Housing Supervision', which is the official silver of Chongming County!"

It turned out that this was Xiao Yang's official bank for making false accounts and losing the Chongming County Ya, and a lot of it was here.

It's just that this Xiao Yang clearly planned to give the 320,000 taels of silver to Lu Jianying, but unfortunately it all fell into the hands of Li Weiguo before he could hand it over to Lu Jianying.

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "This batch of silver will not be included in the list first, and this county will use it to disgust Lu Jianying's old thief!" ”

At this time, the four heads of the Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan families all gathered around Li Weiguo, scolding Xiao Yang for being greedy for so much money.

How could Li Weiguo not understand what these four guys meant, and immediately smiled and said: "The four family heads have made great contributions to following this county this time, and this county deserves to be rewarded. In particular, the head of the Su family was willing to take out more than 200 merchant ships of the Su family to help the county succeed in the matter of blocking the breach, and the county remembered it in his heart. ”

"Your Excellency has won a prize!"

"That's what grass people should do!"

"As it should be!"

The four heads of the Su, Zhou, Zan, and Yan families hurriedly and modestly replied, but they all pricked up their ears and waited for Li Weiguo's next words.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, there is no free lunch in this world, no matter who will not pay for nothing, they always ask for returns, even if they are philanthropic people, it is also for fame.

Li Weiguo immediately made the decision, and the four heads of the Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan families each rewarded 100,000 taels of silver, and the head of the Su family was rewarded with 400,000 taels of silver for his great contribution to blocking the river embankment with a merchant ship.

In this way, the four families received a total of 800,000 taels of silver as a reward, and they all showed their joy, thanked Li Weiguo again and again, and showed their loyalty.

Of course, Li Weiguo would not give them real money and silver, because Li Weiguo still had a lot of use for those real money and silver, so Li Weiguo divided a part of the jewelry, jade, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, swords, books, etc., collected by Xiao Yang and directly exchanged them with a part of 800,000 taels of silver.

Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan are not to mention how happy they are, originally they simply and conservatively estimated the value of these antiques, if they found the right buyer, Li Weiguo gave them this batch of antiques can be sold for at least one million taels of silver, which is undoubtedly a big bargain for them.

Seeing the expressions of the four people's eyebrows, Li Weiguo said with a smile: "This county has always been kind to repay kindness and revenge, the four of you have helped this county, so this county will naturally not treat you badly, I hope you can continue to assist this county in governing Chongming County in the future!" ”

The heads of the four families were greatly moved, and immediately said in unison: "Lord Li is benevolent and righteous, we should repay the kindness of the adults today!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded, quite satisfied with the appearance of the four.

Soon, Xiao Yang's house was raided.

In addition to the antique cultural relics worth 800,000 taels of silver that Li Weiguo rewarded to the heads of the four families of Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan, there are still antique cultural relics worth 200,000 taels of silver, 24,300 taels of gold, 1,173,000 taels of silver, and 320,000 taels of Chongming treasury silver that are filed separately.

"The officials who participated in the raid today will each be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and the officials will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!"

This is called hush money, adults eat meat, villains drink soup, but all things that are confiscated are inevitable.

This is also the unspoken rule of officialdom, every official has a number in his heart, and if he has money to earn, he will naturally not talk nonsense.

As for the rest of the silver, Li Weiguo naturally has to laugh at himself, compared to the four thousand recruits he has just recruited, although one thousand of them can be reimbursed with public funds as Chongming County soldiers, but the remaining three thousand people have to eat, drink and equipment, which is a lot of expenses, and at present, Li Weiguo's AIIB has no profits to squander, so the work of making extra money is particularly important to Li Weiguo.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu said excitedly: "Young master, Xiao Yang's house has been searched, shouldn't we go to the Lu and Huang families?" ”

Only then did Li Weiguo remember that in addition to Xiao Yang's family, there were also Lu and Huang's families who were also sentenced to raid their homes.

Li Weiguo nodded suddenly, leaving some people to deal with the aftermath, and he and Zhang Xiaoliu's master and servant personally led the team to the Lu and Huang families.

Sure enough, it's easy to get addicted to raiding your home!
