"Qi Qi Sheng, Wu Xukuan's mansion has been checked and counted." Zhou An walked in front of the empress and took out a small book from his arms, and at the suggestion of the empress, Zhou An opened the small book and began to read.

"1,766 gold bricks, 500 taels, 805 gold ingots, 100 taels, 28,600 silver ingots, 100 taels, 1.35 million silver ingots, 2.5 million copper coins, more than 600 catties of ginseng, 590 stalks of jade Ruyi, 8 coral trees half zhang high, one coral tree one zhang high, more than 19,800 silk and satin, more than 24,000 pieces of precious porcelain, precious calligraphy and painting...... Precious medicinal herbs...... Precious Fur ...... Pearl...... Ruby...... Sapphire...... Rosewood Furniture ...... Antique ......"

What does it mean to be shocking?

That's it!

The flesh on the empress's face was shaking and twitching.

Angry or excited?

She no longer knew what emotions she was feeling right now.

Zhou An is still reading.

The empress didn't seem to be able to wait, so she stretched out her hand and snatched the small book and looked at it herself.

Because Zhou An has memorized this inventory, the content is not much, so Zhou An is still talking.

“…… According to the value estimate, a total of valuable objects were seized in Wu Xukuan's mansion, with a total value of about 145 million taels, not counting Wu Xukuan's obvious real estate, fields, shops, etc.......

After Zhou An finished speaking, he sighed in his heart.

This Wu Xukuan, no!

It is still not comparable to He Shen, the largest corrupt official in the universe in his previous life, and He Shen was greedy for 1 billion taels, which was equivalent to the treasury income of the Qing court for fifteen years at that time.

However, even if he can't compare to He Shen, Wu Xukuan is afraid that he is also the most corrupt official in the history of Dongqian.

He is also the richest man in Dongqian!

At present, the annual revenue of Dongqian's treasury is only 30 or 40 million taels of silver, and of course, this is abnormal, because of the natural disasters that have caused the tax revenue to drop sharply, but in fact, under normal circumstances, the annual revenue of Dongqian's treasury should be between 70 million taels and 80 million taels.

This was the case in the years before the Empress of Shendu fell seriously ill.

In its heyday, there were even times when it broke 100 million taels of silver, but those were a minority.

Normally, it's seventy or eighty million taels.

In this way, the money confiscated from Wu Xukuan's mansion alone is equivalent to the treasury income of Dongqian for two years.

Wu Xukuan has really been in power until now, in fact, it has only been more than ten years, it should be counted from the time he became the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army, but he is unscrupulous and greedy for money, it should be after he becomes the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he can be greedy for so much money, even if he takes the big head, no matter how much the people below are greedy, they will take the small head.

Even if it is calculated in this way, the corruption situation in Dongqian is unbearable to look at directly! Shocking! Very shocking!

I'm afraid that the corrupt officials in the whole Qianjing City are not as rich as Wu Xukuan.

It's quite possible!

After all, some of the money from the corrupt officials in the capital will definitely fall into his hands in the end.

His money was originally from the corrupt officials in Qianjing, and everyone was contributing to him.

It can be seen from the raid statistics that the gold, silver and copper and other "cash" in Wu Xukuan's mansion are only a small part, and among the 145 million taels, there are nearly 100 million taels, not cash, but all kinds of valuable things, the most valuable should be antique porcelain and precious calligraphy and paintings, these are the filial piety sent below.

Speaking of which, this amount of corruption is actually expected by Zhou An.

He can even analyze that Wu Xukuan can be said to be deliberately greedy in recent years.

The dilemma encountered by the empress is the same.

Wu Xukuan doesn't need money personally, he needs money, and it is also to stabilize the world after victory!

The empress took a serious look at the inventory, and after reading it several times, her hands were shaking.

Wrath!

It's really outrageous!

The weight of corruption makes people shudder!

"Kang Gong, take a look." The empress threw the inventory to Kang Longji again.

Kang Longji took it and glanced at it expressionlessly, his face still unchanged.

Very calm.

Because, it was not unexpected.

How long has the empress been on the throne, how old she is, and how big the impact of hundreds of millions of taels of corruption on her is conceivable!

But for Kang Longji, who has assisted four generations of emperors, although he has never seen such a big corrupt official, he can infer that he is not as greedy as Wu Xukuan, but he has also embezzled more than 10 million taels in a few years or even decades.

Wu Xukuan is the first powerful minister since the founding of Dongqian 373 years ago!

In many places in the world, there has even been a situation where only Wu Xukuan is known and the emperor is not known.

Such a situation, such an amount, is really expected.

"Holy Lord, when the minions were counting the property of Wu Xukuan's mansion, they found more than ten kinds of medicinal materials that were very useful to the minions, which could be used to refine the elixir......" Zhou An said at the right time and handed out a list.

"You can use it." The distraught empress said casually.

Didn't take that list either.

She didn't think much about this kind of trivial matter, and she didn't bother to think about it.

Zhou An put the list away.

Get!

The empress didn't know how valuable the medicinal materials Zhou An had taken, but in fact, Zhou An himself didn't know, it was a priceless treasure at all, and it couldn't be crossed with money.

Not only Huang Tai Sui, but Wu Xukuan took away more than ten kinds of medicinal materials in Wu Xukuan's mansion, among which in addition to Huang Tai Sui is in existence and legend, there are two kinds of legendary treasures.

One is a 3,000-year-old blood reishi.

The other is the nine-leaf snow lotus.

Among them, only the blood Ganoderma lucidum is considered "common", the blood Ganoderma lucidum, also known as the red Ganoderma lucidum, is a kind of Ganoderma lucidum, a hundred years in Tongbao can be bought with money, Zhou An has used blood Ganoderma lucidum before alchemy, but he has not used three thousand years.

After chatting with the empress for a few more words about the specific situation of the raid on the Marquis Wuwen's mansion, Zhou An retired.

Still didn't say anything alone with the empress.

I didn't talk about anything alone with Kang Longji.

Zhou An hoped that he was thinking too much, and he hoped that Wu Xukuan's words would not have any impact on Kang Longji, otherwise...... Kang Longji knows Zhou An's biggest secret, and if the empress also knows this secret, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

******

Ning'an Garden.

When Zhou An returned, Our Lady of the Pure Land sat at the table drinking tea as before.

Inside the main hall, at the door of the inner hall, there were two old eunuchs.

It was the medicinal materials that Zhou An wanted, which had been sent directly from Wu Xukuan's mansion, and the two old eunuchs were guarding them.

Zhou An didn't pay attention to the Holy Mother of the Pure Land, and walked directly inside.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, sir."

The two old eunuchs hurried away.

Zhou An pushed the door into the inner hall, opened the boxes placed next to the Dan furnace, and recounted the medicinal materials, and the number was right!

He looked at the Huang Tai Sui in the box, his thoughts fluctuated, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

With Huang Tai Sui as the main medicine, three kinds of pills can be refined.

Eternal Resident Pill: If this pill is refined, take one, you can keep your face unchanged for ten years, if you take it for the elderly, you can also restore your youth, if you can take three pills, you can stay young forever! In fact, this is only one of the effects of the Eternal Resident Pill, for the martial artist, this Pill can improve the vitality of the human body, and the activity of the bones, five organs, muscles, and skin will be improved, indirectly improving the overall state of the martial artist, and even has a slight effect of helping to break through.

Meat Spirit Pill: An elixir that strengthens muscles and bones, if it is given to ordinary people, a meat spirit pill can directly promote ordinary people to an innate body without any side effects, and if it is given to a martial artist, the stronger the martial artist, the more powerful the effect can be stimulated with the meat spirit pill, this is the purest body strengthening, which may help Zhou An to break through the realm of external cultivation!

Tai Sui Dan: It is an elixir named after Tai Sui, which can make people reborn after taking it! And permanently improve the body's self-healing ability!

Each of the three pills that could be refined was useful to Zhou An.

Breaking the sky, reborn with severed limbs, and growing out...... It's possible!

Zhou An touched Huang Tai Sui again, then turned around violently and shouted: "Bai Xiaokui! Come here, guard the customs for our family, and our family will refine the pill. ”
