Chapter 55: Wang Bao, who dares not cry when he comes back
Wang Duo did not hand over Qian Qianyi's gift list to the emperor. Everyone carried the flower sedan chair. In addition to his talents, the most important thing for an official is interpersonal relationship, including the relationship between the monarch and the ministers and the relationship between colleagues. Wang Duo knew through Qian Qianyi's behavior that Qian Qianyi wanted to join his camp, and he was just an assistant to the emperor. For the sake of the emperor, it is necessary to conceal appropriately. If someone observes it, there will be no disciples!
After reading the gift list, I couldn't tell what it felt. According to Wang Duo, Ma Shiying's property is not one million or hundreds of thousands of taels, and it is all obtained by Ma Shiying's sales. I don't know how many people bought official positions with money. Qian Qianyi said that six or seven out of ten official positions below the prefecture and county were produced by bribery, which really shocked those who heard it. The level of ** can also rank among the top three in history.
I patted the gift list on the table, "Come on! I passed my oral order, ordering Gao Kuicong to lead the troops to stand by the gate of 5,000 palaces, Wang Aiqing, Qian Aiqing, follow me to see how much Ma Shiying is worth!" I shouldn't have been so impulsive, maybe it was because of the young nature, especially when I was a commoner, I had a natural hatred towards corrupt officials and others. There was a philosopher who said that hatred of wealth and hatred of greed are the innermost characteristics of the people. It seems that I could not escape this law.
Wang Duo believed that it was beneficial and disadvantage to completely solve Ma Shiying at this time, but he was difficult to refute what the emperor decided on; Qian Qianyi was happy to stretch his wrinkles because the emperor praised him for his court just now, and he seemed to be commendable. He thought that this step was the right step.
Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi were about to go out, and Li Jizhou ran to me all the way and looked at me happily, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, I ordered people to loosen the soil in the imperial garden and dig out the treasures of the previous dynasty under the locust tree in the imperial garden. There were three night pearls, a jar of gold, and a box of jewelry...!" Li Jizhou said that the flesh hurts. If there were too many people around, the treasures under the locust tree would be his!
I think Gao Kuicong gathered his troops to see it. He hasn't seen jewelry for a few days since he became an emperor! "Lead the way! Wang Aiqing and Qian Aiqing, go and have a look with me!"
The Imperial Garden is not big, and the most conspicuous one is the row of trees. It is usually the place where palace maids like to shade and cool down. At this time, several eunuchs are cleaning up the soil behind the trees. Maybe the box was dug out from behind the trees!
The old emperor Li Jizhou opened the box in one step, reflecting the sunshine, and the jewels and treasures shot out of the box could not open their eyes. Li Jizhou was also a person who had seen the scene. It is roughly estimated that the box is worth less than 200,000 taels of silver.
I picked up a night pearl. I had only heard of it before but never saw it. At this time, I had increased my knowledge. The beads were about the same size as lychees, and they were round and bright. Looking at the dazzling objects such as jade agate and gold in the box, it really made people want to collect and play with them.
I was in a daze when Wang Duo on the side coughed, "Li Jizhou, are all the people who dug the treasure just now here?" Wang Duo was a mature man and saw that several people's faces were not very natural.
Li Jizhou was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked around, "Everyone is here!"
Wang Duo came to the emperor, "Emperor, I think someone took advantage of the opportunity of General Manager Li to report and steal treasures. Please ask the emperor to make a decision!" Seeing that the emperor agreed, Wang Duo ordered people to gather all the palace maids and eunuchs, and then asked the emperor's personal soldiers to search.
I thought Wang Duo was so useless. What did these palace maids and eunuchs do with jewelry? They had no place to consume and they were not allowed to leave the palace at ordinary times! But when I watched my personal soldiers find gold, gems and other objects on several people, and the palace maids and eunuchs kowtowed and shouted to spare their lives, I realized that wealth was touching.
Li Jizhou's eyes were red and his heart was furious. He had no chance to get these treasures. The people below were faster than him. "Come on, drag them out and take a hundred sticks! Your Majesty, the slave is not strict in discipline, please punish the emperor."
I watched those people being dragged out, and a hundred pokers could almost be beaten to death. Their crying sound shocked me, "The punishment is reduced! Li Jizhou, count these jewelry and put them in the warehouse. Wang Aiqing, let's go!" I think those eunuchs and palace maids were just greedy for a moment, just like I did just now, didn't they have that kind of thought!
On the way out of the palace, I looked at Wang Duo, "Wang Aiqing, how did you know that someone would hide jewelry?"
"Emperor! Greed is a human nature. Even the ministers feel tempted when they see those treasures. I believe that anyone will want to take jewelry for themselves. It is not surprising that the palace servants steal it."
"Wang Aiqing said so much. I just wanted to collect the treasures and appreciate them just like them." Seeing Wang Duo's face change slightly, I waved my hand and told him not to speak. "Wang Aiqing taught me a lesson. I would definitely have such a thing to do when I go to search Ma Shiying and others' homes. I would definitely not have imagined this without what I just happened." The palace maids can reduce some punishments, but soldiers are different. If the army does not have discipline, they will definitely cross. I prayed silently in my heart, praying that there will not be too many soldiers who have been secretly hidden for a while.
Gao Kuicong and his son led 5,000 troops to stand in the scorching sun. This was the first time that the recruits had taken a mission. Gao Kuicong didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but he told himself that the first time he would never be able to make a fuss. Sending troops was not as good as drills. If something went wrong, it would cost a price.
"Take a horse for me and prepare two sedan chairs for Lord Wang and Lord Qian." I ordered Gao Kuicong with a blank expression, "Gao Di, you lead three thousand men to surround Ruan Dacheng and others' houses, and no one is allowed to escape. Gao Kuicong, you bring two thousand men to Ma Shiying's house with me."
Gao Di took the order and left, and I led Gao Kuicong and others to search Ma Shiying's house. I used to watch TV series, searching the house was the most beautiful job. I remember that the famous Wei Xiaobao and Wei Jue made a fortune after copying the Aobai family. I don't know how I compare to him this time.
Ma Shiying's mansion is very grand, with a tall front and a vermilion gate. The stone lions on both sides are more than one person tall. "Gao Kuicong, you take 500 people to detain all the people in Ma Shiying's family. All the property is put into boxes. If there are any private possessions in the soldier, there will be no mercy to kill them!" When I came here just now, I thought about establishing military discipline by chasing the house. Now I tell the soldiers the consequences of private possessions. Whether they can save their lives depends on themselves.
