Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fattened and Slaughtered (Part II)

On 20 March, a joint investigation team dispatched by Fusi and Dongchang of Jinyi Weibei Town went straight to Luoyang, Henan.

Their ultimate goal is only one, to raid the Fuwang Mansion.

However, shouldn't the investigation team first investigate whether the situation is true and then consider the issue of the seizure?

If you follow the normal procedure, it should indeed be like this, but the purpose of the Apocalypse from the beginning was to go for the wealth of the Fu Wangfu.

Is it true that this matter still needs to be investigated? It has to be true, and the so-called investigation is just a formality.

Wei Zhongxian knows the inside story, so Dongchang doesn't have to worry, in case Luo Sigong doesn't know the situation, and really goes to investigate seriously, in case the crime of King Fu's rebellion is overturned, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, Tianqi also specially summoned Luo Sigong, implying that he had long known that King Fu was very dissatisfied and had bad intentions, and you Jinyiwei went this time to make this matter an iron case, and the most important thing was to move the gold and silver mountains of King Fu's mansion back to help me back.

You know very well that the treasury is empty, and it takes money to train the Jinyi Guard, expand recruitment, and strengthen equipment, and when this money is in place, I will allocate some of it to you.

No matter how stupid Luo Sigong is, he understands that since the Hakka incident, he has been manipulated by the Apocalypse, so he is naturally obedient.

Therefore, after the party arrived in Luoyang, they confirmed that King Fu's rebellion was completely true the next day, and then jointly asked for King Fu's crime.

After the news reached Jingshi, Tianqi was furious and immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Three Law Divisions to discuss punishment measures.

Two days later, the result of the deliberations was the beating of the imperial officials, the seizure of the people's property, the perversion of the law, the contempt of the emperor and His Majesty, and most importantly, the crime of treason.

However, in order to show that he was not so impatient to kill his imperial uncle, Tianqi asked them to discuss it several times, but the final result was still a judgment.

Even in order to persuade the apocalypse not to be kind to the woman and finalize the case as soon as possible, Cao Sicheng, the secretary of the Imperial History, Xue Zhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, jointly played a joint performance, crying bitterly and asking for a good model of loyalty.

In fact, these are just superficial efforts, they are all eunuchs, so they naturally follow Wei Zhongxian's instructions, and Wei Zhongxian clearly knows what Tianqi wants to do.

The monarch and the ministers are single-minded, and the fat pig of King Fu only has the share to be slaughtered, and no matter how he screams through his throat and shouts injustice, it will be useless.

The apocalypse immediately issued an order: immediately escort King Fu into Beijing and confiscate King Fu's mansion.

Immediately, he sent Liu Qiao's Nanzhen Fusi over to supervise the raid.

The reason why he didn't let the people of Nanzhen Fusi go with Beizhen Fusi was because Tianqi didn't want too many people to know that he had the intention of deliberately targeting King Fu.

And Liu Qiao is relatively upright, if he is allowed to take someone to investigate, he may cause some trouble and ruin his own good deeds.

Now that the case has been decided, let him go directly to the house, and with his supervision, there will be an additional insurance, who wants to fill his own pocket, then he has to weigh it.

And Liu Qiao's participation also let Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong know that Banzai still doesn't trust him very much.

But it's understandable to think about it, after all, this is a mountain of gold and silver, long live is for money, and it is necessary to be more careful.

Under the joint supervision of several parties, the treasures of the Fuwang Mansion were carried out one by one and piled up into several hills in the square.

In case there was anything missing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang also conducted a severe interrogation of the family members and henchmen in the palace, and there was really a new harvest.

Several places of gold and silver buried in the ground were dug up, as well as gold and silver bricks built in the walls, the extremely heavy weight, the dazzling color, really people can't stop.

Due to the large number of people, it is inevitable that there will be theft and concealment.

Luo Sigong immediately summoned everyone and read out the oracle of the Apocalypse: These are the people's fat and people's ointment, which will be taken from the people and used for the people, and the taxes of Henan Province and Huguang, Shandong, and Sichuan provinces will be reduced or exempted accordingly.

The imperial court will also allocate money and grain to relieve the victims in several places, and build canals and dams.

After the inventory is completed, the silver money will be allocated immediately, and the arrears in the army will be paid, and at the same time, each soldier will be rewarded with another six months' salary, and the disabled and dead will be doubled.

Immediately, he asked everyone to walk through a side hall that had been emptied one by one, in order.

A large wooden box was placed on one side of the side hall, and an opening was opened directly above it, so that a hand could be reached in, but it could not reach the bottom.

A long black bag was attached to the place where the opening was located, and when you looked inside, you couldn't see what was inside.

After entering the temple, if you put your hidden possessions in a box, you will not be held accountable, and if you remain unrepentant, if you are discovered, you will be severely punished and all rewards will be revoked.

After weighing the pros and cons, most people took the initiative to hand over their private belongings, because they saw the strictness of this inventory and were afraid that they would be searched at that time.

Even if you don't put it on your body and hide it somewhere else, it will be difficult to take it away afterwards, so it is better to take the initiative to hand it over.

This method really took back a lot of good things, because most of the things that were privately collected were relatively small but very valuable things such as hand ornaments, pearls, agate, jade, etc.

The most depressed is Guo Zengguang, he thought that he had copied so much wealth, and as a feudal official, he had made such a contribution, so it was not too much to take 500,000 taels.

But now it seems that it is thankful that I can take 50,000 taels.

Looking at the inventory of the property into different categories of registration, and then sealing the box and affixing the seal, Guo Zengguang couldn't say the pain.

In addition to the Fuwang Mansion, the Shihuang family, and several families that are deeply involved in the Fuwang Mansion have not escaped.

It took five days to complete the statistics, and the numbers were staggering.

Nearly 6,000 boxes of gold and silver treasures were copied from King Fu's mansion, and more than 1,500 carts were filled, including more than 1.7 million taels of gold and more than 2,460,000 taels of silver.

Other delicate and soft treasures such as hand ornaments, pearls, agate, and silk cannot be counted in detail, but they are in the tens of millions.

This is still a property that can be taken away, such as real estate, shops, fields and other fixed assets, and it is also a great wealth.

Take nearly 30,000 hectares of fertile land as an example, even if it is calculated according to three taels of silver per mu, this is nearly 10 million taels of silver.

Tianqi is ready to sell all the real estate and shops except for King Fu's Mansion at a discount, and the land will be distributed to the people to appease the people.

In addition to the Fu Wang's Mansion, several other families who were attached to the Fu King also copied out considerable wealth, adding up to more than eight million taels, after all, these people played the sign of the Fu King, and they did not do less clever and unreasonable things.

According to such a rough calculation, the Ming treasury can at least enter more than 63 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to about six years of fiscal revenue.

It is no wonder that the emperors of all dynasties copied the richest man in the world, and they were all able to eat at one time.

The same is true for Tianqi, after slaughtering the fat pig of King Fu, the shortage of financial problems has been greatly alleviated at once, which makes him have a little more confidence when dealing with Jian's capture in the future.
