The county master handed over the task to Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi, the former took the initiative to offer advice, and the latter openly had a grudge against Ximen Mansion because of the crude medicine shop case.

Through the two of them, the magistrate took the Ximen family without blood, and reaped all the wealth and fame.

Now that things are almost done, it is naturally time to reward meritorious deeds.

He had two big double-colored red sticks, Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi, each of whom gave full play to their own specialties, one with a hard fist and killed Ximen Qing, and the other was a social Guangshan organization, as early as when Cao Jun went to the appointment, he sent people to surround Ximen Mansion, as well as Ximen's family's various pharmacies in Yanggu County.

Now, it's time to count the fruit.

Cao Jun took Zhou Zunfeng and Li Quan to Ximen Mansion non-stop, and saw that the gate was full of officials with knives.

Cao Jun is a celebrity in the county government, so naturally he was not blocked.

After entering the compound of Ximen Mansion, there was another scene inside.

In the courtyard in front of us, there were bustling people standing with heads, men, women, old people, and children, counting the lord's family and servants, about a hundred or so people, all of whom were under the guard of the officials, and were divided into several squares and curled up in a ball.

The faces of the people of Ximen Mansion were full of panic, and the officials guarding them looked hideous, as if they had aroused a bloody beast, and they pulled out and beat the people of Ximen Mansion who were not pleasing to the eye.

There were still many blood stains and corpses on the ground that had not had time to be cleaned.

It seems that in the process of besieging Ximen Mansion, it was not all smooth sailing.

Cao Jun ignored the noisy scene outside and led two cronies straight to the backyard.

He knew very well that the most valuable thing in Ximen Mansion was either placed in the treasure house (if there was a treasure house), or in Ximen Qing's study.

And Zhang Zhusi, who was in charge of besieging Ximen Mansion, was probably already waiting for him inside.

Along the way, there were still many servants, shouting and counting the wings and latrines in the corners of the backyard, and some even dragged out a servant from the dry well who tried to avoid capture.

Don't say anything, let's beat it first, and then talk about it after I get angry.

After passing through two more houses, there was a complete silence in the back, and the shouts and cries that rang out from time to time in the front yard seemed to be cut off by something, and the few sporadic cries were barely audible.

Cao Jun and the three of them saw some people from the yamen, and unlike the front yard, these were all clerks and secretaries who were holding account books and brushes, counting items next to each other.

Cao Jun finally met Zhang Zhisi in Ximenqing's study.

The latter sat calmly on a Taishi chair, and the old god was holding a cup of tea, as if he had expected Cao Jun to come.

"Cao Dutou, I can let my brother wait for a long time, the restaurant is ...... All the best, right? ”

Cao Jun was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, and politely arched his hand, and sat opposite Zhang Zhisi without saying a word.

Since the other party has unknowingly upgraded his identity from a colleague to a 'brother', there is no need for him to be nervous, and after people notice it, they will laugh at him for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Now that you're here, don't waste any time, please come with me to take a look at the back."

After Zhang Zhisi took two more sips of tea, the cup was put aside, and he glanced at Cao Jun playfully, and walked to the rear first.

Cao Jun also stood up and followed behind Zhang Zhisi with full tacit understanding.

Zhou Zunfeng and Li Quan wisely stayed at the door of the study to be on guard.

Ximenqing's study is divided into the front hall and the back hall, the front hall is no different from the general study, the first thing that catches your eye in the back hall is a large bed, about two meters wide, about three meters long, almost occupying one-third of the area of the back hall.

Next to the large bed, there are some desks and wardrobes, and there are dressing tables for women to dress up, and there are two screens embroidered with various male and female postures against the wall.

A cursory sweep shows that there are no less than dozens of postures of standing, standing or lying.

Zhang Zhisi was not as surprised as Cao Jun, as if he had browsed in advance, and there was a calm old cadre's demeanor on his face, "Please come with me, the front is all insignificant small objects, I asked them to count the study room at the end, and there is not much time left for us." ”

The two walked through the big bed, originally thinking that they had reached the end, but they didn't expect that behind the screen was a hanging bookshelf, and the bookshelf had already been opened, revealing a small secret room of more than ten square meters.

"Is there really a treasure trove?"

You must know that in the big families of the Song Dynasty, there were only a few secret rooms hidden in the study.

Ximenqing has such thoughts, and he can be regarded as walking in the forefront of the times.

Cao Jun's breathing suddenly became thicker.

Zhang's words along the way have revealed a lot of important information to him.

The other party deliberately waited here, and he didn't plan to leave him to eat alone.

This time to move down the Ximen family, the credit of the two can't say who is big and who is small, although Cao Jun played an indispensable role in it, but it is not certain that Zhang Zhisi did not secretly contribute.

The last big peach must be from Zhixian.

It's just that before the arrival of the magistrate, the two of them pre-selected and picked up some soup and water, which is reasonable.

This is the tacit understanding between smart people.

Zhang's plan coincided with Cao Jun's original plan.

Even if the magistrate knew about the arrangement of the two, he couldn't find fault with it.

Cooperate with such a person, comfortable.

The area of the secret room is only a little bigger, and when you sweep it over, you can see all the contents inside.

The two first excluded the famous calligraphy and painting antiques hanging on the wall.

Calligraphy, painting and antiques, even if they are genuine, the value is not easy to estimate, and it takes a lot of effort to convert them into gold and silver, which is thankless.

In addition to the calligraphy, paintings, antique porcelain on the wall and on the wall cabinet, the rest of the things are two large sandalwood boxes placed on the desk in the center.

This box is one large and one small, one with gold and the other with silver edge, which looks good.

Could it be that the treasures are all hidden inside?

Zhang Zhusi, who has always shown a calm demeanor, couldn't control his snort at this moment, he suppressed the desire to eat alone in his heart, and frankly stretched out his hand to Cao Jun and said: "Cao Dutou, please!" ”

Cao Jun was also not polite, and directly lifted the lid of the silver-edged sandalwood box.

I saw that the inside was full of flowers and green, wrapped in a ball, stuffed with women's belly pockets and obscene pants, which took up more than half of the space, and there was a strange smell of dust and a unique smell coming to my face.

"Ahem, Ximen Qing, and his habit of collecting original underwear?"

Compared with those anchors in later generations, this is just a big knife in front of Guan Gong, which is trivial.

Cao Jun pursed his mouth when he saw it, and turned his head away with disgust, but he didn't expect the old cadre Zhang Zhisi on the side to turn red, and his snort was even more panting like an old cow in heat, and his eyes were staring at the objects in the box without blinking, and he told Cao Jun very uneasily: "Cao Dutou, these are all precious things, handle them with care, don't damage them." ”

Cao Jun: ......
