said that after the fourth prince Rong Cheng was scolded by Xiao Rongshen, the two of them sat together and made trouble. Now that Wei Yuanxi has brought Li Lin to the emperor, Li Er's case has been shaken out by Eh, and the emperor is furious and has issued a strict order to raid the Lan family. Once the pair of bronzes that Li Lin said were found, Lan Chengjie's charges were confirmed.

Now the people of the Nine Gates Defense Division don't know that it is as simple as imprisonment, and it is difficult to raid the house, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not find anything. Xiao Rongshen was tormented in his heart, Lan Chengjie had done so many ugly things, his home was like a fox hole, and everything was hidden in it, and it was difficult to ensure that none of them were implicated. If the emperor followed the vine and checked all the people in Lan Chengjie's vein, wouldn't the old school be served by the pot?

Looking at Xiao Rongcheng, Xiao Rongshen was angry: "Mistake!"

Xiao Rongcheng was also aggrieved, and spread out his hands: "Big brother, don't just scold me, but have an idea!?"

Xiao Rong was deeply deflated, he had already instructed the people of the old school to hide his fox tail well, this is already the limit, what other ideas can he have in the current situation? Wait, resign yourself to fate, and see Lan Chengjie's creation.

The Lan family was surrounded like an iron bucket, and the little guy who rushed out to report the news had been gone for two hours, and Xiao Rongcheng's men and horses had not moved. Lan Chengjie looked at the two rows of soldiers of the Nine Gates Defense Division at the entrance of the flower hall, and cold sweat broke out. As far as the eye can see, the two straight rows lead from the flower hall to the gate.

Lan Chengjie took a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his face, it was really fatal. In the past, the flower hall with carved beams and painted buildings and gold and silver utensils was moved to empty in an instant. The soldiers were also ruthless, and refused to leave a single thing, but fortunately they did not bring a scraper, otherwise even the gold paint painted on the pillar would have to be scraped away.

Mrs. Lan and the concubines were locked in a wing room in the backyard, and a large gilded bronze lock of a two-eared beast hung at the door. The male servants were all driven to the pigsty and stable, only to be sold as official slaves after the Lan family seized it.

Lan Chengjie dared to play majestic at first, slapping the table and scolding, but later heard that he was going to overturn Li Er's case, and his legs became weak all of a sudden, as if he had been pulled out by cramps and bones, and spread out on the chair. Fortunately, these soldiers still know him, and even if they didn't get his benefits in the past, they have followed him to handle cases, and when they come here today, they have to leave him some thin noodles.

Just sit and sit, don't run around, as for the flail and lock, that is after the crime is decided.

Lan Chengjie raised his head, and a captain in silver armor stood beside Liu Tianbao.

Lan Chengjie snorted, this pawnshop guy is now going to turn against the sky, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and he will tremble when he rises a little majestic. If they hadn't deceived Lao Tzu by playing together, how could Lao Tzu have let Li Lin go? Standing here today, as if he was the number one domestic slave in the Prince's Mansion, wasn't he the one who knelt on the ground like a dog and kowtowed and begged for mercy? Hmph, don't say it's him Liu Tianbao, it's his master Wei Yuanxi, who also wanted to call Lao Tzu a godfather at the beginning!

Thinking about it like this, Lan Chengjie's heart suddenly felt a lot happier, Lao Tzu was sold by his son!

The lieutenant was newly promoted, transferred from the army from other provinces, and he didn't know the level of his hands and eyes in the capital, but he heard that Lan Chengjie used to be able to eat well. looked at Lan Chengjie lightly, and said in his heart that this guy is not a first-class master, he has been raided, and he is so steady, and he is also sorry that he can sit still.

Boxes of things from the Lan family were carried from the house to the courtyard, and they were just priceless ornaments before, some of which were given to Mrs. Lan by the crown princess back then, and some were corrupt officials. The concept of corrupt officials is not easy to say, ten officials are nine greedy, and it is difficult to keep the hands of officials clean. It is also often said that a person who does not touch yellow and white things is not necessarily a good official. So he copied out some ornaments, and the captain was not surprised, not to mention that there was a gift from the crown princess!

The captain was bored, so he glanced at Liu Tianbao: "I said, Mr. Liu, I heard that you are the crown princess's own slave?"

Liu Tianbao turned his head to look at him: "Captain Li, why did you remember to ask this?"

The captain smiled: "It's nothing, it's just idle, just ask." Alas, I heard that this Lan lord used to be the godfather of your crown princess?"

Liu Tianbao's face changed, no wonder this Captain Li has only been a captain in the army for so many years, he can't speak, and he can't be a man. He turned his back and lowered his voice: "Captain Li, don't ask if you shouldn't ask something." ”

The lieutenant tugged at the corners of his mouth, he had no intention of chatting casually, but he didn't expect Liu Tianbao to have this attitude, so he turned his head and stopped paying attention to him.

Raiding homes is always accompanied by surprises, and after copying for half an hour, I only heard a loud bang in the backyard, like the sound of a wall collapsing, followed by a cry of surprise: "So much gold!"

The lieutenant and Liu Tianbao rushed over in unison, and when they looked at it, they saw that a sandwich wall had been chiseled and collapsed, revealing pieces of gold bricks weighing half a catty, and rows of walls were blocked by the wall, and the entire gold brick wall was swept away! A thousand gold bricks, one and a half catties more, my God, half a catty is eight taels, let alone eight thousand taels of gold!

Let's pull it, the gold bricks were removed and put into boxes, and after half an hour of dismantling, it was another golden wall! The lieutenant was stupid, pulling at the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Layer after layer was demolished, and there were four layers of gold bricks!

Liu Tianbao froze for a long time and murmured, "My mother!"

After demolishing the four-story golden wall, the captain and Liu Tianbao were relieved. If you take out a few more layers, you won't even have enough boxes.

The captain beckoned to Liu Tianbao: "Come out, it's stuffy inside." ”

The two of them stood in the courtyard, which was small, but there were four towering ancient trees with blackened trunks, which looked to be more than a hundred years old. Captain Li helped move the bricks for a long time just now, and he was so tired that his neck was sweating, and he was holding on to the ancient tree to enjoy the shade.

It didn't matter if he touched it, Captain Li was suddenly stunned, cocked his scabbard and knocked on the tree, jumped on the flower platform again, and kicked with his toes. Liu Tianbao was very funny when he looked stupid, so he said, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Captain Li turned his head: "This tree is not quite right!"

Liu Tianbao also jumped on the flower platform and touched it up and down: "What's wrong?"

"Listen to this!" Lieutenant Li kicked twice with the tip of his shoe, and the trunk made a coughing sound.

Liu Tianbao's face turned green as soon as he brushed it: "Empty!"

Captain Li jumped off the flower platform and beckoned: "Come a few people, sawn this tree apart!"

It took a little effort to sawn such a thick tree, and it took an axe and a saw blade to cut it, and after a long day of work, the tree was finally put away. Everyone gathered around to take a look, and suddenly lost hope again, it turned out that there was nothing hidden in the tree, but it was hollowed out by insects for a long time.

Captain Li was a little disappointed, and thought that there was something new to discover. Since there is nothing left, there is no need to delay any longer, waving his hand: "You are all scattered!"

"Wait!" Liu Tianbao suddenly shouted.

"What?" Captain Li looked at him, the trees were sawed open, and he still didn't give up?

Liu Tianbao pointed to the root of the tree: "Don't you think it's strange? Such a stout old tree can be hollow? Besides, how can a person who is in charge of garden and wood art in a big family let a hollow tree be left in the yard?

Captain Li Nunu mouthed and asked a few people to knock on it, and sure enough, all four trees were hollow. That's a bit weird.

Liu Tianbao said: "Dig open the roots of this tree and see what there is!"

The soldiers were actually reluctant to plan, and they had heard the old people say that the tree would have a large crown and a large root. This Liu Tianbao just stands and talks without backache, and his feelings are not for him to plan, such a big crown, how big the roots are, and it may not be able to be planed clean in the Year of the Monkey!

Having said that, a few honest and obedient people still took shovels and shovels to dig, and after digging only a foot, they couldn't dig any more. Carefully dig up the earth, revealing a kimchi jar that is more than half a person tall. Take the bowl off the top and shake it in the sun, white flowers and jewels.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a "whoop"! A jar full of big eastern pearls the size of green plums was round and full.

Captain Li was sweating when he saw it, good fellow, he had never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry when he was so big, it was simply an eye-opener! Things were dug up under the four ancient trees, a jar of Buddha Guangcui rough stones of different sizes, and a jar of bloodstone of various varieties. There was nothing under the last tree, just a flower bed dug up, revealing four large two-meter-long wooden boxes that lay horizontally. When I opened it, there were four golden silk nanmu wrapped in oil paper!

With the appearance of the golden silk nanmu, the family was pushed to * in an instant. Even Liu Tianbao, who has been in the pawnshop for many years, was stunned, this thing of golden silk nanmu used to be just a four-word phrase living in his mind, but now it is the first time he has seen it real!

Captain Li touched the sweat on his face: "Arrogant, arrogant!"

This is not the end, the golden silk nanmu here has not come to an end, and there is another accident in the small pond in the garden. According to several people from the Lan Mansion, there are dozens of golden silk nanmu of the same length soaked in the pond. At this point, even the soldiers of the Nine Gates Defense Division have to cry, it is already very hard to be a soldier and eat food, but I didn't expect it to be even harder!

Just now, there were more than a dozen soldiers sitting outside the wall who moved the bricks softly, and they sympathized with Lan Chengjie with nonsense, this is really called counting the money until the hand cramps! The few of them who moved the money were almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

It's also a trouble to go into the water to fish for wood, and everyone is shrinking back at this point, no one has the strength to fish, a nanmu is hundreds of pounds, who can stand it?

Liu Tianbao's scalp was also numb, the joy he had just entered the Lan Mansion had disappeared, and at first he wanted to find more treasures and convict Lan Chengjie of a crime that was enough to die a hundred times. It's only been a few hours now, and he regrets it, why was he so stupid just now?

There are so many large pieces, not to mention any celebrity calligraphy and paintings, what splendid costumes, and what jewelry heads.

Captain Li hurriedly replied to the emperor and pointed to the small pond: "Hurry up, don't talk nonsense, put on a rope and go down to fish!"
