Chapter 210: Looting Cai Jingfu
Lin Yi took the second place in the provincial examination, from now on, he is already a proper official body, the palace test is not brushed, and the worst is also a fellow jinshi, but Lin Yi can take the second place in the exam, how can he only test one fellow jinshi, the second-class jinshi background should not be difficult, and there is even the possibility of impacting the top three champions in the first class, and the future is limitless.
Truth be told,
Lin Yi was also a little surprised by this ranking, he guessed that the top twenty or thirty was not a big problem, but he didn't expect to be ranked second.
Cui Niannu was overjoyed when she heard that Lin Yi had passed the exam.
"Congratulations to Lin Lang for passing the exam, and his future is bright."
Lin Yi smiled and patted Nian Nu's delicate blushing face.
Get out of the house,
There were a lot of people standing outside,
The brothel women, servants, maids, and even cooks all came, and many guests also came to watch the excitement.
Seeing Lin Yi come out,
These people can't help but congratulate.
Lin Yi laughed and said, "Everyone in Huaju Yashe has happy money", and everyone immediately cheered when they heard it.
Lin Yi called the servant who reported the news, and directly took out a five-run handover from his sleeve, and the servant saw that he was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but bow down and thank him.
The excitement isn't over yet.
Those friends of the same subject in Enzhou knew that Lin Yi was in Huaju Yashe, and they all came to congratulate him.
Lin Yi received them in Cui Niannu's courtyard, Cui Niannu was also sensible, pretending to be the hostess to entertain, these scholars were all seeing Cui Niannu for the first time, and they really saw how beautiful the Oiran who was known to move Bianjing was.
Rumoredly,
How proud the Oiran is.
But now,
but for the sake of Lin Daguan's hospitality to them.
These people have to envy in their hearts, Lin Yi is really proud of officialdom, and he is even more proud of love, and he has taken advantage of all the good things.
Lin Yi chatted with these people.
Fourteen people came to the entire Enzhou, only Lin Yi and Enzhou Xie Yuan Qiu Gu were on the list, and the others were all named Sun Shan, and everyone sighed that they could only fight again in three years.
Now that everyone's identities have been obviously opened, Lin Yi and Qiu Gu are already destined to be officials, and they can only go back and sprint again, no one knows what the future will be, failing the exam is the norm, and there are very few people who can be officials after all.
In fact, entering the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty,
It is not a way to pass the imperial examination.
Imperial Examination Scholars,
Grace Shadow Supplement,
The officials took office,
military merit supplement,
Buying officials.
But everyone knows that the last four and those who passed the imperial examination are not at the same level at all, and the future development is also worlds apart.
Officials from the imperial examination can be promoted by skipping grades, while officials outside the imperial examination can only be promoted one level at a time, and high-level officials can only be done by people from the imperial examination.
In the future, they may have other ways to enter the officialdom, but Lin Yi's development is definitely not within their reach, and the height they can reach is much higher.
After that, of course, it is a celebration of drinking.
At the wine table, everyone talked about the grand scene of the opening of the list, and the most interesting son-in-law under the list, and someone said to Lin Yi with a smile:
"Brother Dongyang, don't you know, many people just shouted out of high school when the list was opened, and a large group of people went up to offer a price, this one said that my lord's family has a silk village, there is a girl who is young and twenty-eight, young and beautiful, and is willing to marry a mansion in Bianjing, two hundred acres of fertile land, and a number of maids and servants.
The other immediately shouted, "My lord runs a mine and stone factory, and his dowry is incomparably rich, no less than his."
This is a beautiful scenery of the Great Song Dynasty,
Catch a son-in-law under the list.
Someone next to him smiled and said, "Brother Qiu was almost caught."
Hatred
He laughed and said, "I saw my name and cheered happily, but as soon as I shouted, I was surrounded by a group of people and almost carried me away, I knew what they were going to do at a glance, and quickly shouted that I was married and had a wife at home, so these people let me go."
The people in the room burst out laughing.
Someone looked at Lin Yi and said, "Dongyang, you are young and have no wife, and you are second in high school, the future is limitless, fortunately, you didn't go, if you go, those who catch your son-in-law under the list will probably eat you alive."
At this time, someone shook his head and said, "Most of the people who catch their sons-in-law are businessmen and the like, and they are not qualified to catch Brother Dongyang."
"Brother Dongyang's poetry, calligraphy, and painting are extremely attained, and he is an immortal talent, how can they be worthy of Brother Dongyang, and those who are embarrassed to propose marriage must also be the prime minister, the granddaughter of the Taishi, and the direct line of the prince of the county."
"Yes, yes, only this can be matched with Dongyang, I guess, it won't be long before someone comes to the door to propose marriage."
They talked about the women of the Prime Minister Taishi County Kingdom's family, but no one said that they would marry a princess, because from ancient times to the present, marrying a princess is not a good thing.
At least for a person who is successful in studying, has unlimited future development, and can be a marquis and worship the prime minister, marrying a princess is by no means a good choice, not only is it not a help, but it is imprisoned, and there is no future, so people who have the ability are unwilling to marry a princess.
The banquet is over.
The crowd dispersed.
Lin Yi was slightly drunk.
Lying on Cui Niannu's lap, Cui Niannu gently stroked the man's forehead and massaged, his eyes never leaving.
"Lin Lang, you should move back to the inn." Cui Niannu said.
"Why?" Lin Yi said with his eyes closed.
"Your classmates are right, with your current status, there will definitely be countless dukes and princes who want to win you over and marry the noble daughters of the family to you as wives, if you marry the women of their family, it will also be of great help to your future officialdom and promotion, you always live here with me, it is not good to spread it, and it is not easy for people to chase after the Qinglou to propose marriage."
Cui Niannu smiled after speaking.
Lin Yi laughed, "How do you know that I am here with you, not to avoid those people who come to trouble me."
Cui Niannu was stunned.
"But in this way, you will also lose a lot of opportunities, although I am a little woman and don't understand officialdom, I have heard a lot, the officialdom is complicated, although Lin Lang is talented, but there is no power and the driving force behind it, and it is difficult to be promoted, are there still few people who are talented but have a lot of officialdom." Cui Niannu said.
Lin Yi disagreed.
"I have my own plans, marry those noble ladies, and there will be more trouble, how can I be happy with Nian Nu."
Lin Yi won the second place in the exam.
Enter the sight of many large families.
There are really people who are planning to accept him as a relative to cultivate, but fortunately, Lin Yi is hiding from Cui Niannu, but it has broken many people's thoughts.
The provincial examination is followed by the palace examination, which is generally at the beginning of April, and there is still more than a month before now.
The children who did not pass the exam left Beijing one after another.
Those who were in the examination stayed in the capital to wait for the palace examination, and at the same time, they privately found people to find relationships and even took the initiative to submit worship posts and join some big families.
Lin Yi ignored these completely.
In the room, Lin Yi turned on the system and was studying the system task, and it was still too far away to make money and open new products.
He is mainly working on side quest anti-thief values.
What is a thief?
To put it simply, if you do something to return to the court and return to the emperor, you should be called an anti-thief, Lin Yi collected the bandit cottage before, collected the Water Margin characters, and prepared for the future rebellion, you can get the anti-thief value, and now stay in the capital, it is impossible to collect the cottage, so can you do other things to get the anti-thief value?
He thought there must be.
These days,
Lin Yi was actually not idle, he traveled all over Bianjing, large and small, including all the streets and rivers, and the mansions of large and small officials were also clearly investigated.
In the name of buying real estate, he also went to a number of dental shops to inquire, and these dental shops have urban maps, after Lin Yi saw it
Write them all down, and ask them in some places, and now he has a complete map of Bianjing in his mind.
Cui Niannu's side.
Lin Yi doesn't linger every day, but he comes over every once in a while, so he has plenty of time to do his own thing.
During this time, Lin Yi had some new equipment in his space.
Cai Jing Fu.
Somewhere on the beams of the house.
There was a gray-clothed figure lying on his stomach, and in the courtyard, there was a group of servants carrying large and small boxes to the warehouse, Lin Yi simply counted them, there were sixteen boxes, and looking at the pace of the servants when they moved, they knew that it was very heavy.
In the original works of Water Margin and Jin Pingmei, it was recorded that Cai Jing received gifts of madness, and the Birth Gang was the most famous of them.
And that batch of birthday gangs is just Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu, who gave his father-in-law Cai Jing a birthday gift for one year, worth 100,000 yuan of gold jewelry.
Ximenqing once gave Cai Jing a gift.
It is recorded that eight boxes were sent for the first time, and the book wrote that this time three hundred taels of gold and silver were given four silver people with a height of more than one foot, two golden longevity pots, plus jade peach cups, all kinds of colorful splendid python clothes, Nanjing satin, etc.
Then Ximenqing sought a five-grade official position in Jinwu Guard, Zuo Deputy Qianhu, Shandong and other places to be punished by the Punishment Institute.
It's also *** easy.
In the second year, Ximenqing's gifts were more, there were twenty boxes, this time Ximenqing personally went to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, gifts include gold, night pearls, all kinds of silverware, jade belts, all kinds of precious fabrics, python robes, etc., worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Ximen Qing is just an insignificant little person in front of Cai Jing, just giving so many gifts, Cai Jing has been an official for many years, and he has been the prime minister for some years, and there are countless officials of all sizes who have been promoted by him, so you can imagine how much money he has collected.
This is not the first time Lin Yi has come to Cai Jingfu, he has already come three times, and all three times he caught up with someone to give gifts, and there were a lot of them.
The palace test is imminent, those tribute students who are in the examination are already destined to be officials, and now who is the most powerful in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the first is naturally the emperor's official Zhao Ji, and the second is definitely Cai Jing, these people can't find the emperor to give gifts, so they naturally aim at Cai Jing's big tree.
Cai Jing is greedy, but he has an advantage, he really does things when he collects money.
During the exam, as the prime minister, he had a great right to speak, and the arrangement of work after the exam had a great impact on his future life, whether to throw it to a remote state or county, or to stay in the six yamen of Huahua Bianjing, it was not a matter of a word from the ministry, and the ministry was now completely under the control of Cai Jing, who else could he find if he didn't look for Cai Xiang.
Why did Lin Yi come three times.
In fact, his purpose is to observe more, where is Cai Jing's wealth hidden, he is sure that this Cai Jing definitely has more than one warehouse, so he observes for three days in a row.
After a few days of observation,
Lin Yi has already identified four places.
A treasure building, mainly treasured calligraphy and paintings, ancient books and solitary books, because these are afraid of moisture, so placed in the high-rise building, it is also convenient for Cai Jing to play at any time.
A treasure pavilion, mainly where antique jade, pearls and gems are placed.
A treasure room, mainly put those precious silk fabrics, python robes and brocade clothes.
A treasure vault is an underground vault, this treasure trove is the simplest, only used for gold and silver.
The men placed the gold, silver and jewelry, locked the door to the underground vault of the treasure, and left two people to stay in the upper room to guard.
The two men sat in chairs and chatted, and there was a charcoal stove in front of them, and there was a copper kettle on the stove to make hot tea, and in the middle of the night, both of them could not stay up, and one of them said, "I'll sleep for a while, and you will call me in an hour."
"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."
The two have been on duty together for many years, and they are used to staring at one and sleeping, this is Xiangye's mansion, they don't believe that someone came to steal, and even if they come in, the thief may not be able to open the door of the vault.
The man was wrapped in a big coat and fell asleep against the back of the chair, while the other took a handful of tea and took a sip to refresh himself.
He didn't pay attention, and a faint cloud of smoke drifted in through the crack in the window
After the bell, the guy's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep with his head tilted.
The door opened.
The masked man in gray walked in and fed the two of them a pill each, the smoke made by Lin Yi has a fast effect, but the duration is short, and it will ease up in about half an hour, while the sleeping pill he made can make people fall asleep for more than 8 hours.
Coming to the door, Lin Yi observed the door lock, took out a leather package from the space, and spread it on the ground, revealing dozens of various tools.
There are filaments, there are pieces of iron, and there are all kinds of tools that twist the shape.
Took two and poked them in, tried them, and then picked two more out of the tool pile and poked them in again.
Click.
The door lock is unlocked.
Lin Yi has lockpicking skills, as long as there are tools, there is no lock in the world that cannot be opened, and those modern precision locks are difficult for him, not to mention these in ancient times.
Push open the door,
Underneath is a step passage.
Lin Yi lit a large butter wax and slowly walked down the steps.
After going down about two floors of stairs, a large iron gate appeared in front of it, this one was thicker, and the keyhole was on it.
Lin Yi repeated his old trick again and opened the iron door.
Step into the treasure trove.
Lin Yi found that the basement area was not small, estimated to be two or three hundred square meters, and there were countless boxes piled up on the ground, some of which were stacked together.
Just open one.
Silver collar.
Stacked neatly placed silver collars.
Lin Yi picked one up and weighed it in his hand, one was twenty taels, how much is this box?
"Collect~!"
Lin Yi muttered silently.
The silver collar disappears.
His system wallet adds a little to the balance.
Lin Yi smiled, he liked the feeling of making money, looked at the mountain of treasure chests, and began to collect them frantically.
Cash register collar,
Harvest the golden cake.
Then Lin Yi disliked the slow speed, and began to collect boxes by box, and after putting them in the space, it was only a moment, and the next moment he spit out the boxes, saving space.
Even so,
The piles of gold and silver treasure chests in the treasure house still kept Lin Yi busy for twenty minutes.
Finally finished,
Lin Yi looked at his results.
In this treasure house alone, he harvested more than 20 million taels of silver, and there is a lot of gold here, and gold is worth more than silver.
That's why it's said that the gold belt of murder and arson.
The number in Lin Yi's wallet has increased from 110 million taels to 130 million taels.
Relying on himself to make money, when will he be able to earn 20 million taels, and now just by coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will increase his assets by one-fifth.
All the money spent in the early stage has been earned, and it is much richer.
Lin Yi left the treasure house.
He locked the door of the treasure house again.
When they went up to the guard's room, the two guys were still asleep, Lin Yi locked the door above and walked out of the house.
Since it's here,
Lin Yi didn't plan to let it go easily.
Cautiously came to the treasure pavilion of antique jade, pearls and gems, the treasure pavilion was also guarded, but it couldn't stop Lin Yi's smoke, it was still smoke and put down, feed the pills.
When doing this, Lin Yixin said that if he was a flower thief, he would definitely be the most powerful flower thief in the world.
This is still a secret room, open the iron door, Lin Yi began to absorb it frantically, pearls, gems, antiques, jade, these cannot be converted into money, they can only be placed in the space.
Because there are too many things, the space was originally occupied by a part, but now it is filled, and it is a happy distress.
What to do?
Abandon.
Lin Yi is not a person who gives up so easily, he has money now, he can't buy space, according to the rules, one cubic meter of space is 100 million yuan, which is converted into the silver of this world, which is 100,000 taels of silver per cubic meter.
"system, buy 50 cubic meters of space."
This time, Lin Yi spent a lot of money.
He had just collected more than 20 million yuan in the vault, and Lin Yi could accept a quarter of it, and his space increased suddenly.
"Collect, keep receiving, tomorrow the old female thief will find that the treasures that have been scavenged for more than ten years have been lost, I don't know if it will spurt blood, haha."
Lin Yi thought happily in his heart while collecting things.
Lin Yi was shocked while collecting it, this old thing, there are really a lot of things in the collection, there are so many precious treasures, I am afraid that Song Huizong may not have them.
No matter what,
Collect them all.
After collecting the jade jewelry warehouse, Lin Yi's space was used up again, and Lin Yi was ruthless and bought another thirty cubic meters, and the total amount of his space reached 100 cubic meters.
Money cannot be spent in vain.
Lin Yi swept the treasure building of calligraphy and painting again.
There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the treasure building, which is specially used by Cai Jing to copy the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities here, Lin Yi picked the largest and thickest pen, dipped it in ink after grinding the ink with water, and wrote a line of big characters on the white wall of the treasure building.
"Take the ill-gotten wealth today, and if you do evil again, take your dog's head!!
The penmanship is vulgar and unaesthetic, and at first glance it is written by a rough man who does not know how to calligraphy, and the sentences do not rhyme at all, which is purely scolding the street.
Inscribed.
"Heavy Rain-kun!"
In the end, Lin Yi came to the last warehouse, swept away the precious silk fabric, released his flying claws, flew to the wall lightly, and turned out of Cai Jing's mansion.
When Lin Yi returned to his room from the backyard window of the hotel, a system prompt sounded in his head:
"Ding~ Loot the Prime Minister's Mansion and get 265 anti-thief points."
