Chapter 12: The Treasure of Gold and Silver Is Swept Away!
"As soon as I came in this house, I felt that something was wrong, there was too much difference in length between the inside and outside!" Zhu Qiwu looked up and down the wall.
Soon, Zhu Chongba rushed over with Xu Da, Tang He and others, and also brought several iron pickaxes and sledgehammers.
"Smash the wall!"
Zhu Qiwu kept the wall and said.
He had been searching for a long time just now, but he still hadn't found any secret doors.
In this case, it is a direct and violent demolition.
"Great!"
Xu Da picked up an iron pickaxe and sledgehammer a few times, and smashed it against the wall.
Crash!
Soon, most of the walls were smashed open, revealing a five-foot-wide mezzanine inside.
When the heavy dust slowly cleared, everyone looked inside.
"Shhh
"Grandpa God!"
Everyone let out an exclamation, and Zhu Qiwu even heard several sounds of swallowing saliva.
In this exposed mezzanine, there are layers of gold and silver jewelry, and the number alone is ten times as much as that placed outside!
As for the fineness of gold and silver, it goes without saying, it is all red gold and silver with good fineness!
Even the jade pearls are much more valuable than those placed outside.
Zhu Chongba and the others rushed in excitedly, grabbing a large amount of gold and silver with a pair of thick palms.
"Brother Chong, we're getting rich!"
"Chonghachi, we're not dreaming, aren't we?"
"Heavy starling, it's developed!"
Xu Da and the others were extremely excited, and they were all joys that could not be hidden.
"Seventy-five, we really obey you!"
Zhu Chongba also laughed and patted Zhu Qiwu's shoulder.
If it weren't for Zhu Qiwu's heart, they would have been bluffed by the little tricks outside, and they would have missed these big heads.
"Hehe, brother, don't be happy yet, hurry up and transport the gold and silver treasures away, there are many long nights in the province!" Zhu Qiwu reminded again.
After all, there are only about 20 of them, and if there is any accident, it will be troublesome.
"That's right!"
Zhu Chongba hurriedly stabilized his mind and said to Xu Da and the others.
"Don't be stupid, hurry up and load these gold and silver treasures into the car, and then go search the rest of the yard!"
Xu Da and the others hurriedly responded.
In the end, it took a full five mule carts to load these gold and silver jewels!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chongba and the others found granaries, silk warehouses, salt warehouses and other warehouses.
Dozens of carts in the mule and horse shed of the Diao family are all fully loaded!
There is still a lot of food, cloth, silk, etc., that cannot be carried away.
"Heavy eight, this food is enough for us to eat for a few years!" Xu Da said happily.
"It's just a small part, more food is piled up here, it's a shame!" Tang He looked at the granary and said regretfully.
The Diao family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and the grain harvested over the years is piled up.
Zhu Chongba and the others just selected some fine new grain to take away, and most of the grain was still in the warehouse.
"Heavy eight, why don't we transport it first, and when we unload the car, we will transport it two more times!" Zhou Dexing said.
Many people nodded in unison, and they all felt very sorry for the food that could not be taken away.
"No, after we're gone, we can't come back." Zhu Chongba categorically refused.
Qiwu had already told him that no matter whether they had more luck or less luck, they would definitely not be able to come back for a second time after they left the Diao family.
If someone else notices the movement and finds out where they are staying, it will be more than worth the loss.
Do great things, the most taboo is greedy!
"Big brother, come and see, what are these things?"
Just as all the carriages were loaded and ready to leave, Xu Da suddenly found another secret room.
Zhu Chongba, Zhu Qiwu and others hurriedly went over to check.
It was a secret room hidden in a study, filled with mahogany chests, and it was clear that there were treasures hidden inside.
Zhu Chongba looked at it and immediately said.
"Smash it open!"
Bang bang bang!
There were several muffled sounds, and the mahogany boxes were smashed with copper locks.
The big guy opened the box expectantly.
But.
There was no gold, silver or jewelry in the box, only stacks of bamboo paper, which were densely covered with black letters.
"Alas!"
Everyone was disappointed.
Zhu Qiwu picked up a few pieces of bamboo paper, only to find that these were the title deeds, house deeds and IOUs of the Diao family!
Several chests, all of them.
"Seven-five, what's this?"
Tang He leaned over and asked.
"House deeds, title deeds and IOUs, these things are enough for the Diao family to be worth those five carts of gold, silver and jewelry!" Zhu Qiwu said with a smile.
"Huh? Is it worth that much? "Tang and they naturally know the importance of the title deed.
"However, it's useless for us, it's all waste paper." Zhu Qiwu threw a few house deeds back into the box.
It is not that with these deeds and title deeds, you automatically own the corresponding houses and land.
These houses and land must be recognized by the government for the title deeds to be valid.
Zhu Qiwu and the title deed they snatched were naturally not recognized by the Mengyuan government, that is, they could not obtain the land.
These title deeds are all used by birds.
As for the large number of black-hearted loan IOUs, they are even more useless.
The Diao family was wiped out by them, who still asks for debts.
However, if these things fall into the hands of the government or other powerful people, they can still continue to exploit the people.
"Brother, let's burn all these things!" Zhu Qiwu said.
Only by burning them to ashes can the people who are saddled with Hades debts take a breather.
"Okay, let's burn these Hades debts in one go!" Zhu Chongba said.
"Yes, burn these Hades debts!"
Xu Da, Tang He and others all agreed.
Since they want to do the right thing for heaven, they can't be silent, and naturally the bigger the noise, the better.
Extinguish the Diao family, and put a fire again, so that the name can be revealed.
Before everyone left, they tied all the ladies of the Diao family to the front yard, and then set a fire in the study in the inner courtyard, turning all the title deeds and IOUs into ashes.
"Seventy-five, let's go!"
Tang He urged beside him.
Zhu Chongba and the others drove the carriage, and they had already gone far away, and Zhu Qiwu set this fire.
If it is released too early and attracts the surrounding neighbors, it will not be good.
After Zhu Qiwu set the fire, he was just about to leave, but suddenly remembered something.
He grabbed a torch and wrote a few big characters on the white wall next to the gate of Diao's house.
Tang He was illiterate and confused.
"Brother, what did you write?" Tang He asked in a low voice.
"Forty thieves, do the right thing for heaven!"
Zhu Qiwu said that, turned over and got on the horse, and chased Zhu Chongba with Tang He.
The fire was raging, and soon it was getting bigger and bigger.
Zhu Qiwu and Tang He rode out for several miles, and when they turned around, they could still see the firelight in the sky.
Looking at this situation, the Diao family's inner house should not be able to be saved.
