Chapter 214: The End
Three days later, Li Mu's case of copying the homes of the eight Jin merchants was temporarily over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
All the criminals in Shanxi were brought to justice and put in the independent prison of Jinyiwei, waiting for their fate next.
And the property of the house was also sealed by Jinyiwei and sealed.
The past three days can be said to be very busy, accounting for the property of the eight Jin merchants, and it took about a day for two thousand brocade guards.
Not only should all the confiscated property be counted and boxed, and sealed, but the cash should also be listed separately.
It can be said that in the past three days, all the Jinyi guards in Shanxi have been called by Li Mu, the Shangguan, not to be wanted.
Fortunately, Li Mu promised to reward all the Jinyi guards who participated in the case, which temporarily made up for the tired body and mind of these Jinyi guards.
In front of the reward, all the brocade guards had their strength, wanting to show their faces in front of Li Mu, the commander.
It only took three days to get everything done.
Just waiting for Li Mu's order, he set off back to Beijing with the confiscated cash.
The richness obtained from this raid of the eight Jin merchants, excluding other items, silver and gold alone is a lot of money.
After removing the more than 3 million taels of silver that Li Mu promised to reward, Jin Yiwei seized 124 million taels of silver and 3.6 million taels of gold from the eight Jin merchant mansions.
Even according to Li Mu's order, only the silver was packed and transported back to the capital, and the number of wooden carts used to transport was huge, and Jin Yiwei had to search all over the territory of Shanxi before he could barely gather the wooden carts to transport all the silver and the master who drove the carts.
10,000 wooden carts of various types, loaded with 124 million taels of silver, slowly left the territory of Shanxi and headed for the capital.
All the wooden carts were marked with the banners of the Jinyi Guard, and they marched slowly and unimpeded on the official road.
On both sides of the wooden cart convoy, the 20 guards brought out of Beijing by Li Mu were in the center, and the 2,000 Jinyi guards who left Beijing ahead of schedule kept patrolling back and forth on the official road to avoid losing silver.
As for the two hundred brocade guards and eagle guards, Li Mu left them in Shanxi and was responsible for guarding the eight Jin merchant mansions.
Li Mu only took away the silver, and the other belongings were still in the mansions of the eight Jin merchants, all of which were gathered together and stacked in the main hall.
If there is no one to supervise it, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no greedy person who has bad thoughts and is willing to take a risk.
Ignore the seal affixed by the brocade guard.
Sometimes wealth is very moving.
handed over these belongings to the Jinyi guards in Shanxi to take care of, but Li Mu was a little uneasy, not doubting the ability of these subordinates.
It's a worry about human nature, every ordinary person has desires deep in his heart, even if he is a brocade guard, in the face of so many possessions.
Inevitably, no other ideas will arise.
What's more, Li Mu let the system record the coordinates in these eight Jin merchant houses.
In this way, only if the Jinyi Guard Eagle Guard is in charge of guarding, Li Mu will be relieved and bold to return to Beijing, without worrying about the property left in Shanxi going wrong.
Li Mu believed that these eight Jin merchant mansions were under the guard of two hundred eagle guards, and no one could break through their defenses and enter the courtyard.
With a large amount of silver, the team led by Li Mu could not go too fast.
It took more than a month to return to the capital.
As for the entry of so many wooden carts loaded with silver into the capital, will it cause a commotion?
The answer is no.
No matter who it is, when they see the Jinyi Wei flag on the wooden cart, they will consciously get out of the way and hide far away.
For fear of getting into trouble, those ignorant bear children will also be spanked by adults, and then hugged in their arms and secretly looked at the convoy.
Curious about what will be in the box on the wooden cart.
This is the arrogance of Jinyiwei in the capital in the past, and the benefits brought by it, no one dares to touch its tiger whiskers easily.
What's more, the captains of the brocade guards who rode their horses back and forth on both sides of these wooden carts were all fierce and vicious, sweeping over every passerby who passed by.
It's time to go forward and check it.
Let the convoy go directly into the imperial city, and when it arrived at the gate of the inner palace, Li Mu instructed a lieutenant to take out 200,000 taels of silver from the cash and settle the fare of the hired wooden car.
This is the employment fee that Li Mu promised to give these car drivers when he was in Shanxi.
For Li Mu, there is no need to use the power in his hands to exploit these poor working people too much.
It's not worth it, and it really doesn't have much oil and water.
The drivers didn't expect that Li Mu, a big official, really fulfilled the salary promised at that time, and happily stepped forward to express his most simple thanks.
The working people at the bottom are sometimes the simplest, he doesn't care what others think of Jinyiwei, saying how domineering and unreasonable Jinyiwei is.
The twenty taels of silver in his hand are a fact, and for these 10,000 chariot drivers, the others are fake.
Li Mu didn't have any humility, and accepted the thank you of the driver very calmly.
This may be the calmness that has been cultivated by staying in the top position for a long time.
After receiving their wages, the drivers seemed to have a bottom in their hearts, and they were no longer afraid of the Jinyi Guards who seemed to be difficult to mess with, and they stepped forward to help carry the boxes containing silver into the inner garments.
For these drivers, the sooner they finish moving, the sooner they leave home.
It wasn't until all the boxes on the wooden carts were removed that these drivers led their own wooden carts, under the leadership of Captain Jinyiwei, who also returned to Shanxi.
Leave the imperial city and return to Shanxi together.
Li Mu stood outside the inner and outer palaces, looking at this group of drivers who were talking and laughing and leaving, and suddenly thought, is this a seed sown by the imperial court in Shanxi?
With the return of the Jinyi Guards who belonged to the Shanxi Thousand Households Office, the rest of the Jinyi Guards also began to return to the Thousand Households in the state capitals under Li Mu's order.
So far, Li Mu has recruited two thousand brocade guards to train in the capital, and each of them has returned to his original position.
Of course, there are also some Jinyi guards who have been promoted by Li Mu, and those who have performed well have been promoted from the captain to the test hundred, and the hundreds, and the hundreds, and the hundreds, and the hundreds of households have been promoted to deputy thousands.
At this time, Li Mu turned around and walked towards the inner palace, this time he left Beijing, there was more than a month, and the inspection team was afraid that he had left Beijing, and carried out inspections on the state capitals around the capital, and even affected the entire Ming Dynasty.
At Shanhaiguan, which is now not far from the capital, Li Mu's plan to raid the eight Jin merchants also began the final finishing action.
After more than a month out of the customs, Fan Yongdou and the Jurchens completed another satisfactory transaction, loaded with a large number of mountain goods, furs, ginseng, deer antler velvet and other precious medicinal materials, and were preparing to pass through the gate of Shanhaiguan.
Today's city gate checkpoint is a little different from the past, and there are more than a dozen brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on both sides of the pass.
His eyes kept sweeping through the crowd of people entering the customs, and he didn't come forward to check, just looking like he was looking for someone else.
This made Fan Yongdou's eyelids, who were about to enter the customs, jump, and then glanced at the generals guarding the customs The same as before, there was no change.
Fan Yongdou was relieved to take the caravan and then walked towards the pass.
More than a dozen brocade guards standing in the pass had already discovered Fan Yongdou's caravan, but they did not show any signs of arrest.
The other seven Jin merchants have all been arrested in this month, and the last commander named the culprit.
These dozen brocade guards didn't want to reveal the most, so they planned to put Fan Yongdou's caravan into the pass and arrest it again.
When he saw that Fan Yongdou's caravan had all entered the customs, the leaders of the dozen or so brocade guards waved their hands and asked the generals who had collected the customs to temporarily close the city gate.
Just as the guards were closing the city gate, more than a dozen brocade guards had already drawn their embroidered spring knives and flew to Fan Yongdou's caravan.
The leader of this team of Jinyi guards put the embroidered spring knife in his hand on Fan Yongdou's neck and said: "Jin Shang Fan Yongdou violated the ban of the imperial court, and was ordered by the commander of Jinyi Wei to arrest all the criminals of the Jin Shang Fan family, and if there was resistance, they would be executed on the spot. ”
Fan Yongdou, who was held to the neck by a knife, heard what this brocade guard said, and understood that the things he did were exposed, and understood that the things he committed were beheaded at the lightest according to the law of the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, it was Jinyiwei who captured him, in order to make himself feel better, Fan Yongdou directly grabbed the embroidered spring knife around his neck, twisted his body hard, and committed suicide and fell to the ground.
The other Fan guys in the caravan, seeing that the main family had committed suicide and died, timidly lowered their heads, and stood in place waiting for the Jinyi guard to come forward and lock it.
At this point, the case of raiding the eight Jin merchants has really come to an end, and the only thing that has not been cleared is the umbrella that the old woman of the Fan family said. (To be continued.) )
