Chapter 1431 The Xinzi Scroll is shattered
A series of news coming from various places made Feng Ziying, who had always been as stable as a mountain, a little unable to sit still.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time and felt that he could harvest a lot from the few big fish that he had identified, he still couldn't believe that the harvest had reached this level.
But then I thought about it, An Jinrong, the deputy envoy to Tongcang, stayed in his position for nine years. It is said that in order to stay in this position, he spent no less than ten thousand taels on several favors. He could spend ten thousand taels of silver to earn money. A low-ranking position from the ninth grade might really only be found in places like Tongcang.
In another place, even a seventh-grade magistrate would only have three to five thousand taels of silver, and it would have to be a middle county. It would be too poor for places like Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Guangxi, where hundreds of taels of silver might not even be spent. Even Baoding, Counties in the northern provinces such as Zhending and Daming Prefecture only have two to three thousand taels of silver. As long as they meet the basic conditions, they can come down to fill the vacancies.
He can spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to secure his position without moving, and he still has to make all kinds of sacrifices as usual. If he doesn't make tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, how can he give up?
So after calculating it like this, it seems that it is within the normal range to dig out a fortune of 108,000 yuan. However, when I think of it, it is just an official from the ninth grade. Even if he donates an official position, he is also the most basic low-level official. It was useless, but because of its different location, it became a hot spot.
Feng Ziying is not too interested in these coins, but thinks that the amount is considerable, including the guy on Zhao Wenzhao's side. Although he is just a collector who is not even an official, his wealth is expected to be compared to that of An Jinrong, the warehouse deputy. There are only a lot more people, and it is still impossible to count the mansions and money and property hidden in various places, but according to Zhao Wenzhao and Wu Yaoqing's estimates, it will start at least one hundred thousand taels.
A small official, just because he sits in this key position, he has to do all the tricks up and down, so he can be regarded as deeply involved in various "fancy businesses" of the outgoing ambassadors and deputy ambassadors for so many years. He suddenly created a billion-dollar fortune.
With a fortune of one hundred thousand taels, in modern times, he would really be a billionaire.
Counting the big girls like Qingwen and Jin Chuaner in Rongguo Mansion, their monthly salary is only one drop of copper coins, which is less than one tael of silver. Although they are in charge of food and drink in the mansion, this drop of money Even if it is wages.
According to this calculation, combined with the 20 taels of silver from a farmer like Grandma Liu in the suburbs of Beijing, the family can live a year. Feng Ziying compares it with modern society and estimates that the purchasing power of one tael of silver can reach about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, that is Say, one hundred thousand taels of silver is two to three hundred million.
A grand view garden cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Well, the Jia family's silver is equivalent to old money in modern society. Calculated in terms of purchasing power, it is one billion. They are the top few in the Forbes rich list in the modern world. Do you dare to do this?
So it’s no wonder that the Grand View Garden drained the Jia family’s wealth all at once, and also owed a lot of foreign debts, including Lin Ruhai’s income from decades of eunuchship.
“Are you the Song Chuyang of Tongcangzandian?” Feng Ziying put her hands behind her back and looked at the man kneeling in front of her. It is indeed a bit unusual for her to be able to maintain such a state in her early fifties.
"Yes." After Song Chuyang saw Feng Ziying's glance, he felt that the tense momentum he had previously felt relaxed all of a sudden, and even his body became a little soft, and the Long Jinwei fanzi sandwiched on both sides lifted up. Mention it, otherwise this guy might collapse and fall to the ground.
"I heard that you want to see me?" Feng Ziying can understand this kind of person. The more he is willing to risk his life, it is usually superficial. On the contrary, the kind of person who refuses to speak and is silent may be more aggressive. The next wish is to die.
With such a big fortune and so many women and children, how could one want to die so easily?
Just like me, surrounded by beautiful women, and having a daughter, how can I be willing to die easily?
As long as there is a way to survive, everyone wants to fight for it. The reason why this guy refuses to tell the truth to Zhao Wenzhao and Wu Yaoqing is because he refuses to believe them. He is simply worried that he has confessed everything and in the end, The result is still death.
To meet him, he probably came because of his status as little Feng Xiuzhuan, who was well-known in the capital, and now as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. He wanted to get accurate information from him, but as for whether he was willing to keep his promise, It's not just a decision made by oneself, it's just a matter of whether it's worth it. I hope this guy understands this truth.
"Buy a life?" Ruixiang had already brought the chair over. Feng Ziying sat down and adjusted her official robe, "What do you use to sell your life? Money, or the things you have? Do you think we can catch you? Isn't it possible to dig out those things about you? As for what you have control over, maybe you have the most and the most complete control, but after all, you still have to deal with people. Even if you die, they will explain it the same way, it's nothing more than how much. , but we can catch you. Compared to you, you also know how many people we used last night, and few of them could escape my grasp. So, do you think your life is worth it?"
Song Chuyang struggled for a while, but under the suppression of Long Jinwei Fanzi, he could not move at all.
"Sir, maybe you have arrested a lot of people, but I have to say, if I don't say it, the things you want will not be connected together. Without me as a link, many of your things will not be able to take shape, and they will just be Scattered, I have worked in Tongcang for so many years and served as several ambassadors and deputy envoys. No one can have such a thorough understanding of the situation in Tongcang as I do. You have spent so much effort to understand me. Seize it, you definitely don’t just want to see a dead body.”
Song Chuyang has slowly calmed down from the initial nervousness to relaxation after seeing Feng Ziying. He has begun to regain his usual shrewdness and methodically began to "introduce" himself and "show off" his value.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying laughed, "Under three trees, why not ask for it? You seem to have forgotten who you are facing. I am not good at this, but they are experts. If you want to be called Measuring their level of means, I think you will get what you want."
Feng Ziying stood up and said, "If you meet me just to talk about these worthless nonsense, then your purpose has been achieved. I heard it, but I don't want to accept it..."
"Sir!" Song Chuyang felt that his mouth was dry and bitter. The other party didn't seem to be making a deal with him at all. In other words, what qualifications did he have to negotiate a deal with the other party? He just wanted political achievements, but what could he give him?
Feng Ziying turned around and walked out of the house. If she didn't completely get rid of all the little thoughts of this guy, how could she take the initiative in this "cooperation"?
Even though he doesn’t understand the interrogation techniques, he can still understand the basics of human reasoning.
Since the other party insists on seeing me, he must be here for his reputation, and all he can give him is an empty reputation. If he wants more, it will be gone, but the other party needs to hand over everything. Come.
"Sir, you believe in the villain. The villain can give you everything you want, and I guarantee it will be more than you imagine!" Song Chuyang couldn't bear it anymore and struggled violently.
He doesn't believe in these dragon guards, these guys who eat people without spitting out their bones, who will squeeze everything out of themselves, but in the end they will kill themselves; he also doesn't believe in the fast-moving yamen of Shuntian Mansion, they are cunning and cunning, and they only know how to steal money. I give you everything, but in the end I still can’t give you anything.
He didn't want to die, so he could only take this gamble. Although he had prepared a few caves, he was still a little too careless. If he had known, he would have fled decisively when he heard the news. If he had left a few days earlier, he would be in Yangzhou now. Or Jinling, it would be so leisurely and leisurely to change your identity and become a rich man, but it's a pity...
"Oh?" Feng Ziying paused slightly as she stepped out of the threshold with one foot, "There are more than I thought. Is it gold and silver, or something else?"
Song Chuyang continued to struggle, but Fanzi pinned him to the ground, "Everything, I just ask you to spare my life, I will make it worth it for you!"
Feng Ziying turned her head, her eyes were cold, and she looked at him steadily for a long time before saying: "Do you know that An Jinrong wants to buy his life with one hundred thousand taels of silver, but I don't like it because I don't know enough. , but Song Chuyang, you interest me a little bit, because you know more things, do you understand?"
"The villain knows, the villain knows!" Song Chuyang didn't expect that An Jinrong would recruit him so quickly, and he was even willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver to sacrifice his life. This guy is so stupid. If he is not considerate, you will be intimidated all of a sudden, isn't it? Does it mean that people can get more from you?
He didn't know that Feng Ziying just said this casually. An Jinrong had just been taken into the cell at this time. Feng Ziying simply made up a theory based on the value of the property dug out from his house, but he didn't expect it. This confused Song Chuyang, who was already confused.
Of course, this also has something to do with Song Chuyang's judgment of An Jinrong. An Jinrong should be the weakest link. His family members have never talked about it, and they are at odds with each other, which has caused many turmoils and long bans. I am afraid that Wei and Shuntian Mansion already knew these situations well.
"Well, don't speak yet and think about it carefully. If you want to say something, I hope you can hear it all at once and don't hide it behind your back." Feng Ziying walked over and half-crouched and stared at the other person: "Since you specifically want to see me, you should know that you only have this one chance. If you want to survive, as Mr. Zhao said before, only I can give you this chance!"
