Chapter 29: Not Mine
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Yan Fu hurriedly said: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter!" General Xu has not been convicted for the time being, and the military department has not issued any orders, so he is imprisoned in Zhao Prison, just afraid that his soldiers will not be convinced! ”
Zhang Ru sneered: "There's nothing wrong with it, Your Majesty allows me to have the right to be arbitrary, even if the military department doesn't deal with it, my Jinyiwei is also qualified to deal with this kind of thing." Lord Yan spoke for Xu Ning like this, could it be that he received any benefits? ”
Without saying a few good words, the young man climbed on himself again, and Yan Fu closed his mouth with interest.
As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, what is the situation with him, Yan Fu couldn't be clearer, it's okay to fold a Xu Ning, the people above will not let Zhang Ru easily take out a general soldier. If even he, the prefect, is broken, I'm afraid that there will be no one to talk to.
"Since Lord Yan doesn't have any opinions, Zhang will leave first." Zhang Ru said a word, waved his big hand, and left the prefect's yamen with two 'human criminals'.
As soon as he left, Yan Fu immediately returned to the study in the back house of the yamen to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even avoided the effort of thinking, so he began to write hard.
He can't manage so much now, and he was knocked down by Zhang Ru to a Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and a general soldier, he just wanted to sing against Zhang Ru and had no capital.
Datong is not a rich place like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the little prince of Tatar likes to come and walk around when he has nothing to do, either to plunder some people and leave or to grab some food. Without the two powerful institutions, if he is not interested in the prefect, not to mention the tens of thousands of people in the border army, just the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Office can serve him, the prefect's yamen.
However, it was said that after Zhang Ru arrived at the General Soldier's Residence, in order to avoid conflict with the personal soldiers of the General Soldier's Mansion, he immediately ordered the Jinyi Guard to give down the blades of those personal soldiers. The suppression of the pro-soldiers who do not know what should be suppressed, and the appeasement that should be appeased.
After confirming that there would be no more resistance, he took out the holy decree and read it on the spot, and then, Jinyiwei rightfully occupied the official residence of the general army.
The general soldier's residence didn't look good, and the words on the door were a little mottled, but when I entered, it was a different scene.
The best pear wood is as thick as a bucket, and it is a good material for furniture, but it has become a decorative pillar. The nine-entry courtyard behind the official residence covers the pavilions and pavilions, which looks extraordinary.
Just the rockery, I don't know how many I saw along the way, let alone those strange flowers and plants.
The sun was scorching outside, but after entering the General Soldier's Residence, it felt very cool, and through the path shrouded in trees, under the leadership of the General Soldier's Mansion, he arrived at Xu Ning's study.
The so-called study is just a small room with a length and width of less than a zhang at first sight, and the study of Xu Ning, a military general, is naturally not as good as the study of other civil officials, except for some letters on the table, there is no collection of books in the study.
I'm afraid that Xu Ning never expected Zhang Ru to stay in the General Military Mansion in a grand manner, so his letters were not hidden.
Picking up the letter on the table, it turned out to be a letter from Wan An, the head of the court, and after reading it confidently, he found that Wan An's letter was asking Xu Ning to ignore Zhang Ru's arrival.
After reading the other letters one by one, the truth of the matter was basically restored by Zhang Ru.
There are a total of nine letters, four of which were written by Wan An to Xu Ning, and most of the letters were told him not to be impatient, not to provoke Zhang Ru and not to pay attention to Zhang Ru. There are also three letters that are not signed, but they are stamped with a person's private seal, and the chapter also has no name, only a cotton pattern.
There is also a letter written by Yan Fu, the wording of which is nothing more than to unite all the forces of the Datong military and government to jointly fight against the outsider of the nine-sided patrol general.
The remaining two letters were written by Xu Ning, one should be written to the owner of the cotton pattern private seal, and the recipient of the other made Zhang Ru a little puzzled.
Because the recipient of this letter is not Wan An, nor Yan Fu, or even any Beijing official he knows. Xu Ning called this person with only one word, and that is: Luo!
Is this Luo a surname? Or a code name?
The content of the letter is also very interesting, it seems that Xu Ning has taken a fancy to the daughter of this man named Luo, and promised in the letter to turn a blind eye to what Luo did in Datong. The only requirement is that this Luo must give his daughter to him as a concubine.
Zhang Ru felt funny and angry, and said to himself while slapping the table: "Damn, Xu Ning, this bastard is really not a thing, he is in his forties, and he is embarrassed to attack an eighteen-year-old girl." ”
After a few taps, he immediately felt that something was wrong, the table was shaky, and the ground under his feet seemed to shake.
Zhang Ru pressed the table hard, and the whole person rose into the air, and after his feet landed firmly on the table, he looked around cautiously. I saw that the dust on the ground was disappearing little by little, and even the carpet and a few empty bookshelves on the ground fell into a dark hole.
At the same time, a hole appeared diagonally downward in the northwest corner, and the hole was not large, allowing only one person to pass through.
To say that Zhang Ru is not afraid of death, the cat got into the hole with his waist bent, regardless of whether there was danger inside.
Entering through the hole, there was a long and narrow passage, and there was a torch at the mouth of the passage, and he immediately took out the fire fold and lit the torch, and then walked cautiously towards the inside.
After walking about fifty steps, a stone door blocked the way, I searched carefully left and right, but I didn't find anything like a mechanism, I hung the torch on the support on the side, and was about to take a careful tour of Sa'o, but the clinker stone door opened directly with a bang.
The scene in the stone gate completely stunned Zhang Ru, who thought he had seen the world!
Exquisite boxes hung neatly in the air, and on the ground were mountains of gold, silver, and jewelry, roughly estimated to be at least a million taels. After a moment of distraction, he reached out and picked off a box about three feet long, opened it, and saw a pair of scrolls inside. Spread the scroll thoroughly, only to find that this was Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface.
Zhang Ru is not a literary scholar, so I don't know if this is the true copy of the Lanting Collection Preface, but it can be hidden by Xu Ning in the basement under the study, and there is a chance that it is the real one.
He immediately walked out of the black hole, and as soon as he came out of the study, he immediately beckoned to Jiang Wei: "Divide fifty brothers, I found a treasure in the study, and let them get all the things in it for me." ”
"Yes!" In the implementation of orders, Jiang Wei has never discounted, which is not comparable to even Mu Bin, who is highly valued by Zhang Ru.
The situation in the secret room also stunned Jiang Wei and the others, they had never seen so much gold and silver in their lives for half their lives. As for those celebrity calligraphy and paintings, they were all subconsciously ignored by these rough people.
A few worshippers and bookkeepers were summoned from the pawn shop in the city, and it took a full fifteen days to clear the contents of the secret room. The calculated results are much higher than Zhang Ru's estimates.
30,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 240,000 taels of silver; One million three hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver, all of which are made into ingots, and those that are not made into ingots are not counted; Seven pearls, a total of 1,344 pieces, equivalent to 274,000 taels of silver; There are countless exquisite ornaments, estimated to be worth about 500,000 taels of silver; There are seventy-nine pieces of jade pendant, and there are more than thirty pieces of fine Hetian jade, which is equivalent to one million taels of silver.
This is not a raid, but a huge sum of nearly three million taels can be made at once, Rao is Zhang Ru grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he can't help but be a little dumbfounded. If this money is used for people's livelihood, how much benefit can it bring to the people?
A few days later, after Yan Fu was rejected several times to visit, Zhang Ru took a few people to the Datong Jinyi Wei Qianhu House where Xu Ning and Xiao Qian were temporarily imprisoned, of course, Zhang Ru didn't really do anything to them, after all, they were also a supervisor of one party, and if it was found out that he was good, he would not be able to explain to the one on the dragon chair.
When the captain of the brocade guard guarding Xu Ning appeared in front of Xu Ning with Zhang Ru, Xu Ningzhi said proudly: "Boy, let me out quickly, for the sake of your young and frivolous nature, you will not be guilty of the past." Otherwise..."
Zhang Ru said: "Otherwise, what? Do you use the elder of the Banzai Pavilion to crush me, or do you use the millions of gold and silver treasures in your study to stone me to death? ”
Xu Ning's face turned pale: "You... You know everything. ”
Zhang Ru said lightly: "I don't know anything, and I haven't seen anything, I just came here this time to ask Lord Commander, where did the millions of taels of gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room under your study come from?" ”
"I, I don't know anything, you have to frame me." Xu Ning stammered in denial.
At this point, he couldn't think of a better way than to deny it.
At the same time, he also felt very lucky, at least Zhang Ru had not found the silver he had buried in the courtyard, although the amount of silver in it was not as large as the secret room, but there were two deadly ledgers in it.
Zhang Ru nodded and said: "I said, the general's annual income is only 1,200 stones, and he is as honest as water, how can he gather millions of assets." Since the general said that those gold, silver and jewelry are not yours, then Zhang smiled and accepted it, anyway, they are all ownerless things, and Zhang will not be sorry to take them. ”
Xu Ning seemed to have forgotten to let Zhang Ru let him out, and nodded again and again: "Lord Zhang came from afar, and he has many brothers, so this little money is naturally nothing." ”
"Oh, the general also said that the official came from afar, I wonder if the general has prepared a gift?" Zhang Ru began to blatantly solicit bribes.
Xu Ningxin said that Lao Tzu's mansion was occupied by you, and people were arrested by you, so you were embarrassed to ask Lao Tzu to be filial. said on his lips: "Now that the last general is in prison, even if he wants to prepare a gift for the general, he is also powerless!" ”
Zhang Ru waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the general continues to reflect here, when he thinks of where to put the gift, and when he will let someone notify Zhang." Of course, the general's mansion is not small, and Zhang will find it himself. ”
Xu Ning subconsciously blurted out: "Don't..."
Zhang Ru stopped his streak and was about to leave: "Don't want anything? Could it be that General Fei remembered? ”
Xu Ning said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, adults walk slowly, adults walk slowly." ”
