"Damn, where is all this silver? Take me to see it! "He Kui has never seen what it is like to pile up 100,000 taels of silver together in his life, let alone millions of taels, and the silver cellar of the Mawei military camp is not guarded by his troops at all, otherwise he can see what it is like to pile up more than 10 million taels of silver together!

A nondescript ear room in the backyard, only to find out when you enter the door that this is a warehouse with two houses open, and there is a door inside that leads to the cellar. The cellar is also the size of the upper transept, and it is filled with large chests. He Kui ordered to open a few large boxes, and suddenly, a piece of silver light flashed out. "Good fellows, so many! What did the clerk say just now, how many taels are there? He Kui asked the soldiers beside him.

"It's 1.5 million taels, it's clearly recorded in the account books of Gefu, and the brothers have probably verified it, that's right!"

"Haha, this is half a year's military salary for tens of thousands of our brothers! Let the brothers carry it all to the yard and it will have to be carried away at night! "He Kui is very excited, with so much silver, the prince should be very happy, and the prince will definitely reward him at that time!

The soldiers inside Gefu are busy, but the security outside is very stable. Most of the people gathered at the corner of the street to see the ironclad evidence of the collusion of the Ge Mansion with pirates posted by He Kui, at the beginning, the people were in a state of turmoil, thinking of seeking revenge on the Ge family, but they were prevented by the soldiers and could not enter, and after crying for a while, they dispersed.

The officials of the county government have been dispatched to patrol constantly. The officials did not know the details beforehand, but only acted on orders. As soon as the people looked at the numerous patrols on the streets, they knew that this must have been arranged in advance, and who would come out to cause trouble at this time.

He Kui came out of the cellar, ordered the soldiers to be tight, and then went straight to the front yard. Before leaving, these generals were called by Geng Jingzhong to give face-to-face teaching, these big families would never pile up all their belongings in one place, and asked them to find a way to copy all the things back!

He Kui came to the wing room of Ge's mansion in the front yard, ready to bring the Ge family over for interrogation one by one. After a while, Gerbin's eldest son was brought in. He Kui originally wanted to interrogate Ge Erbin himself directly, but looking at him like that, he was probably a hard bone, so he brought his dumb son up first!

After the eldest prince of the Ge family brought it, He Kui spoke with a smile. "The eldest son of the Ge family, you are also a tyrant in Quan'an County, I don't know if your father colluded with pirates and brutalized the township, did you participate?"

"The general's life, it's none of my business, I don't know anything, I beg the general to spare my life!" The eldest son of the Ge family wept bitterly, kneeling on the ground and begging. He Kui's good beating just now made him suffer a lot, and now when he sees He Kui sneaking him out, he is very afraid.

"Soft eggs!" He Kui cursed in his heart. Then he continued: "You also know the situation in front of you. If you tell you where all the gold and silver in Gefu are hidden, you will be able to exonerate you, saying that everything is done by your father alone, and it has nothing to do with you, and you should be able to save your life. If you don't want to say it, Ben will guarantee that if you go up and down the Ge Mansion, one will count as one, and all the heads will fall to the ground. ”

The eldest prince of the Ge family turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground trembling. "The general spares his life, the villain says, the villain all says, beg the adults to give him a way out."

He Kui was overjoyed, and sure enough, there was still one. "Okay, then it's up to you to look at your watch." He Kui glanced at the pro-soldier next to him, and the pro-soldier immediately loosened the tie on this soft egg, and then took him out to start a targeted raid. Sure enough, the wealth of Gefu is far more than that, in addition to a small treasury hidden in the mansion, there is also a silver cellar in the manor in the north of the city, which is even more hidden. If it weren't for the leadership of this Ge family's eldest young master, it would be really difficult to find them. The two newly found gold hiding sites are roughly estimated to be no less than those cleared up in the morning!

In this way, more than 500 soldiers worked non-stop for more than two hours, until it was almost dark, and all the treasures were counted.

When it got dark, the carriages gathered from the county town were also in place. The soldiers worked tirelessly to carry the treasures onto the wagons and transport them to the Waitou Wharf in Quan'an! The gold and silver treasures of Gefu were transported out in a steady stream. At the end of the night, the driver didn't know how many trips he had made.

Fortunately, Quan'an is very close to the Great Kinmen Island, and the Weitou Wharf is facing the north and south of the Great Kinmen Island, less than 20 kilometers apart, and the navy's warships have already been waiting here. As soon as the treasure arrived, it was immediately picked up and loaded onto the ship, and then galloped away.

There are many people and great strength, and after a night of back and forth, all the treasures were finally loaded onto the ship, not to mention other gold and jewelry, and the silver alone alone was more than three million taels, more than a hundred tons, and the already small cabin of the warship was stuffed full. The wealth of the Ge family made the admirals who responded to it unbearable, and they couldn't say anything.

More than 100 people up and down the Ge Mansion did not need to be thrown into prison, but were directly imprisoned in the Ge Mansion. Men, women, young and old, all gathered together, and the front yard of Gefu was stuffed full, without the slightest spare space, so that it was also convenient to take care of. Ge Erbin knew that he was guilty of deep rebellion, and he had already confessed in front of a pile of ironclad evidence, and some of the Ge family's cronies in the house also confessed.

When He Kui was on his way, he saw that the women and children were in a miserable situation, so he had some compassion and ordered that the women and children should not be beaten and scolded. And those Ge family members who are related to pirates, including the Ge family guards, are tied up and denied food and drink. This is not to blame He Kui for being ruthless, these people were all arrested in their sleep, if they were fed and drunk, they would find a way to escape, He Kui didn't want such an accident.

At the end of the day, Quan'an County and its surroundings were already boiling, and many people scolded when they heard that Gefu had colluded with pirates, and their ancestors had been plagued by pirates for generations. There are also some people who are skeptical, the Ge family has been here for sixty or seventy years, and they have always been relatively kind, how could they collude with pirates!

The consequences of the arrest and raid of the house were discussed by Geng Jingzhong, Li Guangdi and others in the big tent long ago, and they had already taken countermeasures. As soon as the next day dawned, a gong and drum sounded in the streets and alleys of Quan'an.

"Dang, dang! Everyone, pay attention, an hour later, the case of the Ge family's collusion with pirates will be held in Yuanjue Temple, and everyone who has nothing to do will go and see! ”

"Dang, dang! Again, an hour later, a public trial will be held in Yuanjue Temple for the case of the Ge family's collusion with pirates, and everyone who has nothing to do will go and see! ”

"Dang, dang!"

Yuanjue Temple was originally a quiet place, usually there are relatively few pilgrims, only on the morning of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, a large number of pilgrims will come. And there are not many monks in the temple, only about 30. Today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, and generally at this time, until the evening, except for the monks who sweep the floor, there is basically no sight of other people's savings. However, in the early morning of this August, the entrance of Yuanjue Temple suddenly became extraordinarily lively. Countless people kept coming out of their homes and rushing to Yuanjue Temple, some in horse-drawn carriages, but most of them still walked.

There is also a reason why He Kui chose to hold a public trial meeting in the Yuanjue Temple, the area of the Yuanjue Temple is large enough, and it is more convenient that the position of the incense hall is relatively high, and more than a dozen stone steps will open the hall and the square below a few meters high. They escorted the people of Kakufu in front of the higher hall, while the people stood in the square below. In this way, the people standing in the square can have an unobstructed view of the scene from above.

Since ancient times. When there is a serious case, the perpetrator will be paraded through the streets by the flail. This scene is constantly repeated in many costume TV dramas in later generations, when parading the streets, people compete to watch, and from time to time throw rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, etc. at criminals, and those who are too radical may pick up stones and throw them over. Ordinary prisoners only have half a breath left after parading the streets!

This time, the case involved in the Ge family is too strict, and many people have not yet reached a conclusion in their hearts, so it is very necessary to hold this public trial conference. He Kui had already brought the main culprits of Gefu to the Yuanjue Temple, and the soldiers who were sent out to announce it before the hour had already returned, and they started on time at the first moment of the hour (nine o'clock).

At this moment, the huge incense burner in the main hall has been temporarily removed, and a row of wooden tables has been placed, and the square below is already overcrowded, and it is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people! On the stage, He Kui sat side by side with the Quan'an County Commander and several officials in Quan'an City, and the public trial meeting was presided over by He Kui himself.

When the hour came, He Kui stood up, picked up a loudspeaker and began to speak: "People of Quan'an, please be quiet immediately!" ”

As soon as he stood up, the voices below slowly diminuted, and when he began to speak, they all fell silent. He Kui continued: "Presumably, the big guy still has some doubts about the case of Gefu's collusion with pirates, so this public trial conference is specially convened to let everyone understand. Bring all the prisoners with you! ”

As soon as the words were finished, all the criminals of the Ge family were escorted up and knelt at the front desk, and some account books were carried out together!

"Yesterday, you must have seen the charges of the Ge family that I ordered someone to post, so today I will let you take a look at these ironclad evidence." As he spoke, he pointed to the account book on his right. "Here, this is the ironclad evidence that the Ge family colluded with pirates. The Ge family secretly smuggled goods for the pirates, drew maps for the pirates, informed the garrison of the green battalion soldiers in advance, and led the pirates to go ashore to rob, and each profit was recorded in detail in this account book. I am afraid that you do not know that after the pirate has plundered, he will give you all the money he has looted, and then take advantage of the opportunity to seize your land. It seems that the price he gave is not low, but in fact, he used the money he stole from you to buy your land, and you are still grateful to Dade one by one! ”

There was another commotion among the people below, and there was a loud buzz. Some of those who have received the favor of the Ge family still don't believe it, but most of them have already scolded.

When He Kui said this, he signaled to the soldiers on the side that the public trial could begin. He Kui specially selected the soldiers with the loudest voices to read out the charges of the Ge family, and the focus was to pick out some of the contents recorded in the account book and read them out in public. These people are all locals, and after listening to them, they can confirm with their own experiences to know whether the truth is true. Some of these things were still decades ago, but they are very important, and there should still be many old people who remember them.

Then the soldier began to read out the sins of the Ge family: "...... On the third night of the fourth month of the first year of Chongzhen, Ge Shulin, the housekeeper of Gefu, led pirate leaders Liu Qingshan, Zhang Zishan and other pirates to sack Jinjing Town, and the family of Wang Shixin was killed, robbing more than 300,000 taels of money...... On the twelfth day of the third year of Chongzhen, he traded stolen goods with pirate sea snakes at Weitou Wharf, making a total profit of 80,000 taels ...... "One pile, one by one, after it was read out, the people below wept silently, and the criminal behavior of the Ge family aroused great indignation from everyone present.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The people below could not stand it any longer, and without the soldiers continuing to read, they shouted loudly. This pile, one by one, is their personal experience, the time, place, and losses caused are not bad, everyone is gritting their teeth with hatred, and they can't wait to go up and gnaw a piece of meat from the Ge family immediately!
