Before this moment, Zhao Wenhua's life, which was still showing off his might, was completely finished with this fall.

It's not that Lord Zhao is hiccuping, but that his life is no different from death from now on, only endless humiliation and torture are waiting for him.

Glancing coldly at Zhao Wenhua, who was paralyzed on the ground, Lu Bing snorted contemptuously, spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm on his face, and burst out two words from between his teeth: "Raid the house!" ”

With the order of the Metropolitan Governor, the Jinyi Guard, who had long been unable to hold back, howled wolf in unison, and rushed in like a hungry tiger, but anyone who stood in the way would be killed!

It's just that seeing Lord Zhao end so miserably, the family in the house has long been frightened, who dares to stop it without opening his eyes?

Jin Yiwei first separated the family members in the house, men and women, and drove them to the courtyard where the subordinates lived, and when the idle people were empty, he began to check Zhao Wenhua's family business. The Zhao family's mansion is deep, it is really more generous than the palace, and there is a lot of family property, until the third day, it has not been found out.

The news that Zhao Wenhua's house was raided was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it exploded in the sky over the capital!

For the 'anti-strict party' who is in dire straits, the thunder is followed by a timely rain to save their lives, which makes them catch a glimmer of hope in despair!

For the struggling stalwarts, after the thunder, they all became stupid geese, no longer in a hurry to stand in line to show their determination, but to wait and see how the situation changed.

For Yan Dang, who was struck by the thunder, he was naturally blown up on the outside and tender on the inside, and he was panicked inside, and even the most calm Yan Ge Lao couldn't sit still. It was rare for him to steal half a day of leisure, and in the morning he drank tea with his wife to enjoy chrysanthemums, and he had a feeling of 'collecting under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely'. By noon, take a nap and feel very comfortable.

But the old housekeeper Yan Nian's panicked report disturbed Yan Ge's old dream.

'Jin Yiwei surrounded Zhao Wenhua's house! Every word was like a whip that whipped him down, making him restless and terrified. He is not a brainless Zhao Wenhua, so he naturally knows that without the emperor's permission, Lu Bing, the dog who watches the door, will not come out of the cage and bite people casually!

"Call the East Building!" Yan Song was a little panicked, he was really like a tiger, Zhao Wenhua's accident was completely unexpected by him, which made his heart beat and he was suddenly out of proportion.

Yan Nian hurriedly went to the backyard to find Yan Shifan, and before he arrived at Yan Shifan's bedroom, he heard the silver voice inside - although Yan Song is a model husband, his only son Yan Shifan is a well-known pervert, not to mention that he has twenty-seven concubines, and he also robbed the people's daughter, the silver man's wife and daughter, and the one-eyed was beaten by a strong woman when he raped the people's daughter.

According to the legend in the neighborhood, the Yanshu "Golden Plum Bottle" is now circulated privately by officials and nobles in Beijing, in which Ximen Qing alludes to him Yan Donglou, because the "East Building" is facing the "West Gate", and more coincidentally, Yan Shifan has a nickname called Qing'er. And both of them are unscrupulous and cunning, amassing wealth, being lustful with silver, doing all kinds of evil, in order to satisfy the insatiable pleasure**, do all kinds of things that hurt nature and reason!

Therefore, if there are good deeds, they will sit down and say that the Cai Taishi who is in power and dictatorship is Yan Ge Lao, and the ten brothers of Ximen Qing are Yan Shifan's godbrothers and nephews. As for whether it is a chisel or an ulterior motive, only the enigmatic 'Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng' knows.

Therefore, Xuanyin is so white, for Yan Donglou, it is simply commonplace. Yan Nian was also commonplace, knocked on the door outside and said, "Young master, the master asked you to hurry to the front." ”

The silver voice inside was only a little smaller, and Yan Shifan's panting voice came and said: "Damn, I'm really good at picking the time, you go first, I'll go over later!" ”

Yan Nian had no choice but to say: "Something is wrong, Zhao Wenhua planted it." ”

"What?!" I only heard a bang, and the cries of several women sounded, and soon the door opened, and Yan Shifan, who was disheveled, said with a gloomy face while tying his trouser belt: "What's the matter?!" ”

Yan Nian followed behind and repeated what he said to Yan Song. When he saw his father, Yan Shifan had already fastened his belt and said to his father, "I'll take a look!" ”

Yan Song had regained his composure and said, "Don't clash with Lu Bing, this time we got carried away, it seems that the emperor is teaching the old man a lesson." ”

"I know," Yan Shifan nodded and was about to walk out.

"Wait." Yan Song spoke up again.

"What else?" Yan Shifan asked impatiently.

"Wash your face before you go!" Yan Song said: "My face is full of lipstick marks, I dare to go out like this!" ”

Yan's Mansion is separated from Zhao Zhenji's house, just across a Jingwang Mansion, and he doesn't even have to sit in a sedan chair, just raise his legs. But when he arrived at the heavily guarded gate of the Zhao Mansion, Jinyiwei did not let him in.

Yan Shifan is flying and domineering, how can he be aggrieved? stretched out his hand to fight, but was blocked by Jinyiwei with a knife, and said: "My family has an order, and no one is allowed to trespass!" ”

"Don't know who I am?!" Yan Shifan pointed to his fat face and said, "I'm the brother of your family's governor, don't fucking get out of here!" ”

"Now I remember that I worshiped my brother?" Lu Bing appeared at the door with a gloomy face, looked down at Yan Shifan and said, "When I begged you to let my master go, why couldn't you remember?" ”

"Lu Wenming, you have to be reasonable." Yan Shifan said angrily: "Shen Lian slandered my father to death in the last book, but for the sake of brotherhood, it is easy to say that my father will let your master live!" ”

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness. Lu Bing laughed angrily: "Is that because Shen Mo won the champion?" Said coldly: "I'm not talking about Mr. Shen!" I'm talking about Li ......" and said: "You all fight each other according to your ability, and I have nothing to say about who wins or loses." But you're too ruthless, aren't you?! I don't even have my surname left!! ”

Obviously, he counted Li Mo's death on the Yan family's father and son...... This is not to say that Chen Hong did it seamlessly, but Lu Bing didn't dare to guess elsewhere at all, and he didn't even dare to think about it!

It has always been someone else who carries the black pot for Yan Shifan, where can Yan Shifan eat this Qu? ! Angry, he stomped his foot and said, "I swear to God, if we do it, I won't die well!" ”

"You don't have to die well." Lu Bing sneered: "After doing so many bad things, do you still want to die?" Unless God is blind! ”

"it!" Yan Shifan exploded his lungs in anger, pointed at Lu Bing and said, "Lu Wenming, what's the matter, do you want to clear up?" We are grasshoppers on a rope who dare to push me into the fire pit! You're going to have to burn a piece to ashes, too! ”

Lu Bing knew that he would say this, and sneered unhurriedly: "Don't say that, at least I didn't embezzle the money for repairing the outer city wall, nor did I embezzle the materials for His Majesty to build the palace." ”

Yan Shifan choked suddenly, and said with a light full of resentment in one eye: "Do you really want to tear your face?!" "Although the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is Zhao Wenhua, he is always the one who has the final say, if Zhao Wenhua is greedy for one million, he will have to be greedy for at least two million, so the threat in Lu Bing's words, Yan Shifan can naturally understand.

Lu Bing knew that he had the initiative, and laughed three times in a good mood: "It depends on my surname, hahaha......" Then he turned around and entered the courtyard, ignoring Yan Shifan, who was trembling with anger outside.

"it!" Yan Shifan knew that he couldn't get in, so he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

When passing by the gate of King Jing's Mansion, Yan Shifan saw that the gate was closed without a sound, and couldn't help but say angrily again: "Fuck, it's really like water, Lao Zhao has been stammering for so many years, and when something happens, he doesn't even dare to show his face!" ”

Back at home, Yan Song asked him how he was, Yan Shifan didn't answer and laughed: "Hahaha......" The unique laughter was soaked with murderous aura, like the cry of a night owl, which made people shudder.

It also made Yan Ge Lao uncomfortable, and patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Don't laugh, talk well!" ”

Yan Shifan's laughter stopped abruptly, but his mouth was still trembling, and his head and neck were shaking, like an old man who had suffered a stroke, obviously choking with anger.

Yan Song asked Yan Nian who went with him what happened, and Yan Nian recounted it as it was. After listening, Yan Song let out a long sigh and said, "I got rid of Li Mo, but I completely offended Lu Bing, this deal is a little not cost-effective......

"What's wrong with offending Lu Bing?" Yan Shifan couldn't hear these two words now, so he stood up with him: "He just dares to vent with Zhao Wenhua, you let him come at me, does he have the guts?!" ”

"Bastard!" Yan Song sneered and said, "Who are you talking to?" ”

Yan Shifan was originally like a sleepy beast walking back and forth there, but when he heard this, he had to stop, knelt down for his father and said, "The child is dizzy, please punish him." ”

"Alas......" Yan Song is old and has a son, and he is this only seedling, so he is naturally very spoiled, and sighed: "It's all forty or fifty people, why are you so unbreathable?" ”

"The child can't swallow this breath." Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said: "Wenhua gave the emperor to go to the south to fight against the Japanese, there is no merit and hard work, and he also recommended Hu Zongxian and brought down Li Shiyan, such a great merit, it will be abolished if it is abolished." This is not unloading the mill and killing the donkey, isn't it? "He is so angry, not because of any brotherly love, but because of an emotion called 'rabbit dies and fox is sad, and things hurt like that'.

Yan Song was also very hurt by the emperor's unexpected blow, and sighed in a loud voice: "Yes, it seems that 'the king's heart is like iron, and the emperor is ruthless', this sentence will not be outdated at any time." He laughed at himself and said, "I thought that more than 20 years of service should make the emperor treat me a little differently." ”

Yan Shifan's fat face twitched for a while: "Originally, my son thought that he had already figured out the emperor's thoughts and could play with it between applause, but it seems that he is indeed arrogant." He shuddered and said: "He first killed Li Mo, let Lu Bing completely break with us, and then raided Zhao Wenhua's house, which is clearly telling us...... One mountain can't tolerate two tigers. ”

The blow of silence flying out of the sky made the father and son of the Yan family, who had always been at a loss, fall into deep introspection and self-criticism, if he knew this scene, it would definitely be dark for a long time.

After a frustrating discussion, Yan Song said with some interest: "This time, let's admit it, find a way to tell Wenhua, let him keep his mouth shut, I will think of saving his surname, and then let him go back to his hometown to hide from the limelight for a while, wait for a few years, this matter will fade, and then let him recover." ”

"Hmm." Yan Shifan nodded and said, "I'll figure it out." ”

"Also," Yan Song said: "This time we are self-defeating and give Zhao Wenhua a first-class rating, now it's a joke, this matter will definitely be caught by those people, we must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be passive." ”

"I can only put the blame on Lee himself." Yan Shifan said bitterly: "But in this way, the original list will have to be invalidated, and our hard work will be in vain." ”

"Hey......" Yan Song didn't know how many times he sighed today: "When you decide, you will break it, otherwise you will suffer from it." This time, we are indeed too greedy for merit, and after the rectification of Li Mo, we should clean it after a while, so as not to arouse His Majesty's disgust. ”

"It's useless to say." Yan Shifan patted his knees and got up and said, "How can we remedy it?" You can't shoot yourself in the foot, can you? "If the list is completely overturned, the people on the list will be their strict party members.

"Help me up." Yan Song pondered for a long time and said, "I'll go find Xu Jie." ”

Yan Shifan helped his father get up as he said, and asked in a muffled voice, "Isn't it okay to leave this matter to someone else?" Lao Xu and we are not all the way after all. ”

"Hmph, who still has this qualification?" Yan Songyu said: "It can only be him...... Fortunately, he sold his personal favor at the beginning, and it is not difficult to speak now. ”

It took three days to raid Zhao Wenhua's house...... Because Zhao Wenhua has four residences in Yanjing, and there are summer villas in Yanjiao, they all have to be investigated one by one.

On the morning of the fourth day, Lu Bingcai entered the palace with a thick list of raids.

Emperor Jiajing looked at it with a gloomy face, and saw that the list read: 'There is one main courtyard, nine into fifty-eight; one in the East Courtyard, five into twenty-seven rooms; one west courtyard, five into thirty rooms; There is a Hui-style house, 30 rooms, and all of them are in the prosperous area of the capital. There is also a garden; There are four villas. 'It is worthy of being a contractor for more than ten years, and the valuation of real estate alone has reached 9 million taels of silver...... Of course, in this era, when calculating the total assets, it was not advisable to convert the real estate outside the shops into cash. But even so, those that can be discounted are enough to kill him eight times...... In addition to the houses, there are also bronze tripods, inkstones, pearls, precious stones, white jade arhats, Hanyu Guanyin, gold and silver bowls, gold and silver basins and basins. There are more than 8,000 pieces of gold and jade jewelry. In addition, there are five hundred gold ingots, each weighing ten taels; Silver ingots were innumerable and 800,000 taels of silver were discounted; 100,000 taels of red gold, more than 300,000 taels of raw sand gold...... This made the emperor angry the most, because this thing was used to paste gold for the palace, and Zhao Wenhua was left to his home.

In addition, there are eight pawnshops in the capital, three antique shops in Liulichang, five silver numbers, and as for the dry shares in each store, there are countless of them, about more than 1 million taels of silver.

After reading the list, Emperor Jiajing didn't laugh angrily, and scolded An Lutu and said: "A two-ball, who said that the country has no money?" It's all in the house of these dogs. ”

Lu Bing immediately came to his senses: "Do you want to stop copying a few houses?" ”

Jiajing was quite moved, and then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid the only one who is richer than him is Yan Shifan." "Emperor Jiajing knows a lot about the corruption of the people below, but he has always thought that this is a bad habit that has been passed down for many years, so he never takes it seriously.

Lu Bing was a little disappointed, but he was helpless.

After reading the above lists, Emperor Jiajing ordered that the existing gold and silver be delivered to the national treasury for the purpose of compensating for local disasters. For a large number of properties that have been confiscated, the original documents will be handed over to Xu Ge Lao and the household department for detailed valuation and resale. The estimated taels of silver shall be confiscated.

This copy, in addition to the antique treasures sent to the inner house, Emperor Jiajing really got at least three million taels, and the top treasury income for half a year.

This made the emperor who was almost poor and crazy in a good mood, and Yan Song took the opportunity to make peace, so that the emperor remembered Zhao Wenhua's merits, and issued an edict: 'Wenhua's crimes cannot be punished, but there are also merits that are not rewarded. In the end, Zhao Wenhua, a big embezzler, was only punished by dismissal.

Of course, this could not satisfy the officials who had been killed by the Yan Party, and Zhao Wenhua's old enemies Xia Yan and Sun Jun went to the book to impeach Zhao Wenhua for embezzling more than 2 million taels of money for building the city wall...... They also learned to be obedient, and they didn't dare to implicate Yan Shifan, and planted all the black accounts on Zhao Wenhua's head.

The people behind him have learned the same way, this staff member Zhao Wenhua embezzled 1 million taels in Zhejiang, and that staff member Zhao Wenhua repaired the emperor's garden a few years ago and embezzled 800,000 taels, and a series of accusations added up to a total of 5 million taels Zhao Daren embezzled, excluding the confiscated 3 million, and still owed the state 2 million taels.

This time, Yan Song didn't squeak anymore, because it was true, and if he did a hard investigation, he would have to find out his son's head...... You must know that every time there is corruption, Yan Shifan takes the lion's share!

Why not take advantage of this time to smooth out the bad debts of the past? Yan Ge thought so.

Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to increase the punishment, ordered him to be reduced to the people, never used, and sent his son to fill the army in Yunnan, so that he could get out of the country immediately.
