Li Mu, who had seen all the changes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, put the knife on the old woman's neck, and said lightly: "No matter what old your Fan family has in the capital, now this seat just wants to clean up your Fan family, and when I return to the capital, I will be in the mood to clean up the old of your Fan family."

"Tell me if your Fan family still has silver?"

The sudden change made the Fan family who knelt on the ground, and the glimmer of hope that originally appeared was cut off under Li Mu's horizontal knife.

His eyes became gray again, and he lowered his head, not daring to be presumptuous, looking at the ground paved with bluestone slabs.

The old woman sitting on the chair glanced at the horizontal knife, her face was as usual, she closed her eyes slightly, twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and said calmly: "The old body doesn't know what the adults are asking, the old body only knows that the Jinyi Wei under the adults has broken into the old mansion of the Fan family." ”

Twisting the Buddha beads lightly, the old woman slowly raised her eyes, looked into Li Mu's eyes and said, "Although my lord can kill one hundred and seventy-six people in the old mansion of the Fan family, he can't stop the mouths of the people in this world. ”

When Li Mu heard the old woman's words, instead of being angry, he smiled and shook his head.

I don't know what's going on in this world, there will always be a lot of people who think they are reasonable, and if they want to kill him, they will be spurned by everyone in the world.

Such people are very good at thinking that they represent everyone's opinions.

Put yourself on the moral high ground, so that people who originally represent justice wonder in their hearts whether what they are doing is wrong and whether they should not do it.

And in the end, he suspected that he put down the only weapon of self-defense in his hand and stood on the other side to deal with the so-called evil.

Ordinary people don't know that there is often an opposite between good and evil, and evil will always put itself on the moral high ground.

And justice has a bloody steel knife in his hand to guard the cleanest place in the deepest part of ordinary people's hearts.

Remember that when you encounter this kind of person who is accustomed to standing on the moral high ground, it is best to stay away, there is really no way, either don't provoke, if you provoke, find a way to stand on the moral high ground.

Because you don't stand on the moral high ground, the other party will, when necessary, sacrifice you to prove that his point of view is the most correct.

Thinking of this, Li Mu laughed, and didn't understand why people sometimes like to be self-righteous, and when faced with death threats, they prefer to show righteousness and awe-inspiring.

It seems that his death is a kind of framing, a kind of persecution by people with hearts, Li Mu doesn't believe that the old woman in front of him will not know what business the current Fan family is doing behind their backs.

From the conversation just now, the calm language and calm emotions seemed so good to everyone even in the process of sitting down towards the chair with the support of the maid.

Li Mu could judge that this old woman must have been in charge of the Fan family's business when she was young, in other words, the old woman had been in the Fan family when she was young.

is a woman who can decide the direction of the Fan family when she is young.

Even if this old woman is old, she still has a respectable position among these Fan family members, and you can know from the eyes of the people kneeling on the ground who look at the old woman.

Li Mu squinted his eyes, looked at the old woman who closed her eyes, and said without a trace of emotion: "Is the head of the Fan family called Fan Yongdou?" ”

"Yongdou is the eldest son of the old man, and he is in charge of the position of the head of the Fan family." The old woman still lowered her eyes and twisted the beads in her hands.

"Okay, old woman, I'll tell you what the Fan family has done." Li Mu gritted his teeth and slowly confided in each of the next.

"Shanxi Jin merchant Fan Yongdou, the people of the Ming Dynasty, as a Han Miao descendant, but when the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens were at war, they ignored the interests of the Ming Dynasty and only paid attention to the promises made by the Jurchens to them, and ignored the success or failure of the war in Liaodong, only cared about the selfish interests of the family, and forgot the righteousness for small profits, and dared to violate the strict prohibition of the imperial court and smuggle a large number of prohibited materials for the Jurchens."

Li Mu, who paused, looked at the old woman who obviously had mood swings, and said with a shameful smile: "The Jin Shang Fan family really played a businessman's mercenary to the extreme, and even ignored the ban of the imperial court. ”

After speaking, Li Mu withdrew the horizontal knife, put it back in the scabbard, stepped over the chair where the old woman was sitting, and said with his back to the old woman.

"To sum up, this seat can destroy the nine clans of the Jin Shang Fan family in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the Jinyi Guard, who is in charge of life and death, should remove such a tumor as you for the imperial court."

He didn't want to talk nonsense with the old woman anymore, Li Mu walked towards the courtyard after speaking, since the old woman didn't want to say that the Fan family had hidden silver, he didn't want to ask with his own hands.

For the old woman of the Fan family who asked with her own hands to betray the country, she would only feel that her hands were dirty,

In this way, I had to look for it myself, and I should play a treasure hunt mission to change my mood.

After Li Mu left, the old woman sitting on the chair closed her eyes and said sadly: "Son, it's a big mistake, but I can't go back to heaven, the Fan family will not exist in the world, I only hope that the Bodhisattva has a spirit in the sky, and can protect my son from this catastrophe, and leave a blood in this world for my Fan family name." ”

As she spoke, the old woman held the Buddha beads and saluted: "Good believer, Fan Liu is here to thank the Bodhisattva." ”

After thanking the Bodhisattva, the old woman sat on the chair peacefully, with two tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, and two thin hands holding the Buddha beads and placing them in front of her.

.....

At this time, Li Mu, accompanied by the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, inspected the entire Fan family's old house to see if there was anything missing, and there might be negligence.

After walking through all the courtyards, Li Mu had to sigh that only a family that has been rich for a hundred years has such a background.

When the old mansion of the Jin merchant Fan family was built, each courtyard was unique.

Even the carving of a window is extremely fine.

Not to mention, the collection of 10,000 ancient books and antique calligraphy and paintings, even the furniture used in daily life, are all made of precious wood, judging by Li Mu's vision, most of the wood used is small-leaved red sandalwood.

For the small-leaved rosewood produced in the South Seas, there is such a sentence that the small-leaved rosewood was mined during the Ming Dynasty, and even the wood used in the later Qing Dynasty was left over from the Ming Dynasty.

From the Fan family's old house, a large number of small-leaved rosewood is used to build homes, which shows how much the wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty loved this small-leaved rosewood wood.

After turning around, the tired Li Mu sat in the main hall, frowning in distress, and the inspection just now found nothing.

The five million taels of silver hidden in the cellar were taken out last night and packed and sealed.

"Could it be that the Fan family really only has this little bit of family background?" Li Mu, who couldn't figure it out, took the teacup from the hundred households, sat on the Taishi chair and talked to himself.

"My lord, do you want to go to the Fan family for trial?" As a good subordinate, Baihu still understands very well, what is called Shangguan's distress is his distress.

Hearing that Baihu repeated the interrogation of the Fan family, Li Mu waved his hand, rejecting the idea, and his eyes aimed at a wall on the right side of the main hall.

This wall runs through the entire inside and outside of the main hall, which is considered a main load-bearing wall, and the only special thing is that above this main wall, there are two thick wooden beams.

It was very asymmetrical with the one on the left, which made Li Mu look very awkward, and when he entered the main hall just now, he also found that the wall on the right was also very thick, more than one-third thicker than the left side.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the wall on the right and instructed Baihu: "Go, smash that wall for this seat." ”

"Obedience." Knowing that Li Mu was bored, Jinyi Wei Baihu didn't dare to pause, and after receiving the order, he went down to call someone to smash the wall.

And Li Mu sat leisurely on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup, tasted the fragrant tea, and said lightly: "Small, you are still tender when you fight with this seat." ”

After a while, more than a dozen Jinyi Guard captains walked into the main hall with sledgehammers and shovels in their hands, and smashed them against the wall on the right under Li Mu's order.

Li Mu moved to a quiet courtyard and waited for news, so as not to be contaminated with the flying fish suit on his body by the dust splashed by smashing the wall. (To be continued.) )
