Chapter 1783 Renzijuan Qunxiao hides gold secretly
Feng Ziying didn’t want to continue reading about what happened next.
Although the people below are still reporting one after another, such as finding a Buddhist blue and silver mouse jacket, two fat jade ring belts, two fragrant mouse tubes, a fox armpit arrow sleeve, etc., although these things may not be numerous. It's valuable, but Feng Ziying also knows that it still has to be sold for a few dozen taels of silver.
The problem is that these gadgets are obviously only used by masters. People like Zhou Rui don't dare to wear them even if they hold them. They hide them in the dark cellar, probably because they want to take them out and sell them when the time is right.
It's just that the master's family is in such a difficult situation now, and these servants have no intention of sharing any of the burden for Rongguo Mansion, which is a bit chilling.
During this period, people came to report to Zhao Wenzhao one after another. Zhao Wenzhao nodded slightly and listened for a while. He didn't know what else happened, and Feng Ziying didn't bother to ask.
The virtues of the Jia family are rotten to the core. They don’t want to make progress on the outside, they are just playing around internally, they can’t increase their income externally, and the holes inside are even bigger. Under such circumstances, even if there is no such rebellion, they will collapse sooner or later. ending.
It is no wonder that the Lai family alone can plunder 100,000 taels of property from the Jia family. Looking at the situation of the Zhou Rui family, it is estimated that the net worth is close to 20,000 taels.
Before Feng Ziying could speak, Zhao Wenzhao came over and said, "Master Feng, do you want to see it again? Why don't you go over there and have a look? Every family over there is richer than the next."
"Ah?" Feng Ziying's scalp was also numb. It looked like she was worried that someone else would be plundered. Although she had expected it, people like Long Jinwei were plundering it so quickly, and there was an endless stream of them, so she still let It’s hard for people to accept.
Zhao Wenzhao took the lead to leave the small courtyard of Zhou Rui's house, and Feng Ziying followed behind. Along the back wall of the Grand View Garden, this small courtyard was the residence of the prominent stewards of Rongguo Mansion. Next to Zhou Rui's house was Yu. Believe me, if you go further back, you will find the Wang Shanbao family, Wu Xindeng family, Lin Zhixiao family, Jin Wenxiang family, Qian Hua family, Shan Daliang family, Qin Ming family, Qin Xian family, etc.
“Let’s go, what’s the name of this family? Wu Xindeng’s manager is very rich.” Zhao Wenzhao was smiling and in a very happy mood.
As soon as she followed Zhao Wenzhao into the door, Feng Ziying was dazzled by the pile of silver placed in the yard and her eyes were a little dazzled.
Of course Feng Ziying knew what Wu Xindeng did. He turned out to be second only to Lai Da. He was in charge of the bank and all the income came from him. He also knew that this guy must have a rich pocket, but when he came in, he was still Yinshan in the other party's yard was shocked.
These silver ingots, silver coins, and silver cakes were piled on the floor. Feng Ziying couldn't estimate how many there were at a glance, but they were definitely more than Zhou Rui's family.
"Sir, there are fifty taels of gold ingots and four hundred pieces, twenty taels of gold ingots and three hundred and thirty pieces, ten taels of silver ingots of one hundred and ninety-four pieces, ten taels of gold ingots of eighty-nine pieces, and five taels of gold cakes. Seventy-four,..." The reporter who came to report was full of pride, "They are all perfect, but there is nothing else in this guy's cellar, just gold and silver,..."
Feng Ziying put her hand on her forehead. How much gold and silver would it cost? It should be around 40,000 taels of silver. This Wu Xindeng is really a good bank manager. I guess there has never been so much gold and silver in the Jia family's bank bank in recent years, right?
Wu Xindeng has been the manager of this bank for ten or twenty years. Even if it is twenty years, it means that he can get two thousand taels of silver from the Jia family every year. Of course, in a good year like building the Grand View Garden, it is estimated that one year It can last for several years, which is really not much worse than the Lai family.
I don’t know what Jia Mu and Wang will think when they see this situation.
“Where did you dig this thing out from?” Zhao Wenzhao asked.
"In the back yard, this guy is very cunning. He built a slate pool and placed it above it. If someone hadn't pointed it out, it would have been really hard to find him." The blocker said proudly, "Sir, this time we are in a group. It should be the most rewarding.”
Feng Ziying shook her head and didn't want to read any more. Zhao Wenzhao also pulled him: "Hey, Mr. Feng, don't be so busy walking. There are several other stores over there, and they all have a lot of gains, even if they are not as good as the first two." Family, but they are definitely beyond your expectation. Whichever family is released, it will definitely be regarded as a high-class family in our capital city. The servants of Rongguo Mansion can be so extravagant. If Rongguo Mansion does not carefully examine After the first trial, I felt that I was sorry for this errand."
Each yamen in the capital city has its own prison. Long Jinwei's prison is called the imperial prison, while the Ministry of Punishment has the Prison of the Ministry of Justice. There is also a prison in Dali Temple, but the scale is smaller, and it is often placed in the Prison of the Ministry of Justice. Similarly, Shuntian Prefecture also has a prison, and Wanping and Daxing counties also have their own prison cells. In terms of scale, Shuntian Prefecture Prison is the largest, followed by the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei, Wanping and Daxing counties again, and Dali Temple is the smallest. As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is no large prison. Generally speaking, they rely on these families.
This Jia family is jointly investigated by Long Jinwei, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment. Most of them are in these three prisons. It is less likely to come to Shuntianfu, Wanping, and Daxing counties.
But that’s not necessarily the case, because there are too many families investigated and dealt with during this period, and the number of people is even larger. Maybe they will be transferred to Shuntian Mansion. After all, Shuntian Mansion Prison is the largest, has the most complete system, and has the best conditions. A complete prison, prisoners with larger and more complex cases from more than 20 states and counties will be sent here.
For example, Shuntianfu Prison has 178 cells of various types, which can hold more than a thousand prisoners.
"Okay, I know how to do this." Zhao Wenzhao nodded, "Why, don't you want to look at it anymore?"
"What else can you see? It just adds to the sadness." Feng Ziying felt a little sad, "Anyway, I also watched this garden being built, and even lent my father-in-law 200,000 taels of silver. I didn't know that this 200,000 taels How much of the two pieces of silver was spent on this garden?"
"Master Feng, I have an idea for you. If you really like this place, you might as well wait. Soon the court will sell the dozens of mansions that have been recently investigated. It's nice, but to be honest, the location is average. If you're interested, you might as well buy it. I guess the price won't be too expensive. You can take care of it and keep it as a souvenir. Even your fiancée can move back and continue living there. .”
Zhao Wenzhao said cheerfully.
His words are also true.
The Wang family, the Niu family, the Wang Shui family in Beijing, and the Tao family of Nan'an County have all been sealed up. Except for Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong, Shui Rong and the head of the Tao family, Tao Qian, and important figures from these two families have all absconded, and there are also people like Hagong Zhong. There are also several houses that are expected to be implicated. By then, there will be at least dozens of houses for sale in the capital city.
It can be said that the price of this originally very expensive luxury house will be knocked down all of a sudden. After all, the market capacity is limited in the short term. If dozens of houses are put up for sale at once, there are only so many people who can afford them, and all of this. It was inspected, and many people still felt it was unlucky and were not willing to buy it, so there must be a considerable discount on the price.
It's not that Feng Ziying has never thought about this problem. If Rongning's second mansion is sold, he must be able to buy it and connect it into one. The Grand View Garden here can connect the back garden of Ningguo mansion from Yihongyuan and Caocui'an. It can be increased by half immediately.
Especially the piece of water behind Ningguo Mansion can immediately make up for the shortcomings of the entire Grand View Garden with only one strip of Qinfang River. In the summer, boating and playing in the waves add a bit of tranquility. In addition, Tianxiang Tower, Doufeng Pavilion, and Dengxian Pavilion , Huifang Garden, and Ningxixuan are combined together, which can also add a bit of spaciousness to the Grand View Garden.
However, there is something indescribable about the Rongning Second Mansion that I bought. What do the Jia family think?
What do they think of things like Daiyu, Yingchun, Baochai and Baoqin? And what do Tanchun, Xichun, and Xiangyun in prison think? This requires communication first.
This is actually a psychological problem. Theoretically, there is no problem, and everyone should even be happy to see it succeed. But people's hearts are at risk. Maybe the Jia family will feel that they have taken over the magpie's nest again?
How to buy the second Rongning Mansion with confidence and even in expectation of the public, this is the result that Feng Ziying wants to achieve. Feng Ziying feels that she can try her best to achieve such a perfect effect.
"Speaking of which, I still have some feelings for this place." Feng Ziying said with emotion, "It would be a pity if it were sold to those vulgar people who don't know the so-called vulgar people."
"That's great, I've found a suitable buyer again. I'm really worried that what I checked along the way won't be able to sell for a good price, or even just buy it, which would be a huge loss." Zhao Wenzhao took a look. Feng Ziying, who looked puzzled, lowered her voice and said: "The superiors divided our round of inspections into several groups. Considering your relationship, I took the initiative to apply to Rongning Second Mansion. Now the superiors This means that performance should be linked, and the gold and silver properties eventually seized will be discounted, including these mansions, and will be evaluated based on the initially determined target value. If it exceeds the estimate, it will be considered better. If it fails to meet expectations, it will be considered better. Yes, that means you are not doing your job well..."
“Can it still be like this?” Feng Ziying was surprised: “Then what if these mansions are searched and cannot be sold?”
"It won't work if you can't sell it. The Ministry of Household Affairs wants money and doesn't want dead things like you, so we can only sell them at a reduced price. It's just a sale anyway, and the one with the highest price gets it." Zhao Wenzhao laughed, "There are so many things in the capital city. There are so many rich people, why can't they sell it? It's just about the price."
