Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji looked at the six officials behind him and ordered:

"Order the Ministry of War to start counting all the battle damage and treat the wounded. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have collected all the evidence of the crime, disciplined the gang, and all of them will be taken into custody by the Ministry of Punishment. Afterwards, they will be handed over to the three divisions for joint trial. Those who should be exiled, those who should be exiled.

Search your home and search your home!”

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, all the officials from various departments headed by Jin Zhong, Minister of War, stood up and bowed:

"I am waiting for your order!"

After these people had all arranged the post-processing work, Zhu Zhanji looked at Little Nose and said:

"lead the way!"

"This slave accepts the order!"

As if he had received an amnesty, Little Sniffle immediately got up in a hurry and began to lead the way.

Zhu Gaochi walked beside Zhu Zhanji and was supported by Zhu Zhanji. He hesitated and asked softly:

"Son, tell me honestly, have you known something for a long time?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhu Gaochi's words, he shook his head without hesitation and said without even looking at his stupid father:

"Dad, do you believe me when I say these are all coincidences?"

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids: "Do you think I look the same now as I did when I believed in you?"

Zhu Zhanji turned his head, looked at Zhu Gaochi's expression, nodded seriously and affirmed:

"picture!"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

He found that his precious son was getting more and more arrogant!

The two of them talked and walked through several more courtyards. When they arrived at the later courtyards, there were not many traces of the battle. There were only a few blood stains left on the road after simple cleaning.

But along the way, the open space in the courtyard was filled with darkness.

They were either beautiful young women of 17 or 18 years old, or children of 7, 89 years old.

Each one of them was kneeling on the ground, and the fear of these people could be felt through their trembling bodies.

"The Crown Prince, Your Highness the Grand Sun, and your servants have just asked these people. Many of these people are the show girls who participated in the emperor's concubine selection in the fifth year of Yongle. There are also many children who were castrated by Ji Gang from the people in recent years.

, serve the young children around you!”

"Asshole!"

After the little nose finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi's fat face suddenly turned livid. Looking at the group of women and children kneeling on the ground in darkness, he gritted his teeth and said:

"How dare he?"

Not only did Zhu Gaochi look ugly, but even the group of officials who followed him were frightened by Ji Gang's courage.

This kind of thing like cutting off Hu Xiunv has not happened before, but this is the first time for these people to see such a large number of people.

And not only that, but he also castrates young children to serve around him. Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?

Zhu Zhanji looked very calm. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but that these things had long been recorded in the history books, so he did not feel any surprise!

Little Sniffle explained and continued to lead everyone forward.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi's plump face no longer had the pleasant look it had at the beginning. As he walked through more courtyards, he saw more similar people.

Zhu Zhanji, who was supporting Zhu Gaochi, could clearly feel Zhu Gaochi's suppressed anger.

He comforted: "Okay dad, I'm so angry because Ji Gang is not worth it. If you don't feel relieved, how about I have someone punish Ji Gang later and let you vent your anger after he is completely convicted?"

Zhu Gaochi did not speak when he heard this, but nodded, and then walked through four or five more courtyards under the leadership of Little Nose without saying a word.

It was only then that everyone realized that their group had already walked for more than half an hour.

The size of Jigang's mansion really shocked everyone.

When even Zhu Zhanji felt a little tired from walking, his vision suddenly became wider again.

In its place is a huge garden.

Seeing this garden, Little Nose immediately said:

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Grand Sun, have arrived. The location of the treasure house is under the garden!"

In fact, at this time, there was no need for Little Sniffles to remind them, and everyone also discovered what Little Sniffles was talking about.

I saw that in the huge garden, due to the darkness of the sky, torches were already lit.

More than a hundred eunuchs from Dongchang, holding unsheathed swords in their hands, stood side by side in front of a rockery cave with solemn and nervous expressions.

On the other side of these Dongchang eunuchs, there were more than a hundred imperial guardsmen who were also defending as if facing a formidable enemy.

I saw Little Nose arriving with Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi.

The imperial guards and eunuchs just relaxed slightly.

Little Nose waved his hand, and the eunuchs and imperial guards of Dongchang moved out of the way.

"Get in!"

Before Zhu Zhanji could speak, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, shook off Zhu Zhanji's support, issued an order coldly, and then walked towards the cave first.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji immediately followed him.

"My lords, please!"

Little Sniffle stretched out his hand again to signal to the officials behind him.

The cave is a bit narrow when you first enter, and only four or five people can pass through it side by side.

Someone had lit candles inside, illuminating the cave with a bright light.

After walking through about two hallways, the space in front of me suddenly became spacious.

A hall connected with a dozen large iron doors appeared in front of everyone. At this time, Little Sniffle came over and explained:

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Highness, this is the entrance to treasure houses No. 1 to 10, all of which are filled with silver. I only counted one of the treasure houses, which contains about two million taels of silver. There are three similar halls behind, all

They are all used to store silver. I estimate that there are thirty warehouses, and the total amount of silver is no less than sixty million taels!"

"Open them all!"

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and asked several eunuchs from the East Factory to open the entrance doors.

"Here!"

Several eunuchs took the order and got the keys from nowhere. They poked at several doors and heard a clicking sound.

When the warehouse door is opened, there is an arched entrance similar to a cave dwelling, four to five meters deep.

Zhu Zhanji took the torch from a eunuch and walked into one of the warehouses.

Seeing this, some ministers followed suit and walked into the warehouse accompanied by eunuchs.

The warehouse was a bit cold, and Zhu Zhanji used the torch to get a clear look at the situation in the warehouse.

To be honest, before coming in, Zhu Zhanji didn't have a very clear concept of two million taels of silver.

But after entering, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but show a bit of shock on his face.

The silver is not packed in boxes or anything like in some movies and TV shows.

Instead, it was just put there.

What catches the eye are neatly arranged shelves. Silver bricks about ten inches long, five inches wide and two centimeters high are placed on the shelves like ordinary heads.

It looks like walls made of silver, shining brightly under the firelight.

Little Sniffle followed Zhu Zhanji and explained:

"Your Highness Taisun, each of these silver bricks weighs about thirty taels. Each warehouse is filled with about 66,000 silver bricks, and the total weight is about two million taels!"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Little Nose expressionlessly, paused, and said:

"Nice arithmetic!"

Little Sniffle immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment!"

"Well, let's go, get out!"

Zhu Zhanji did not stay here longer, but walked out.

After looking at one room, Zhu Zhanji, who almost knew the general situation, stopped looking at the rest, and began to think about what to do with the silver.

There is definitely no way he can get this money directly into his own hands.

After all, it is stolen money, and everything obtained from house raids needs to be included in the Ministry of Accounts.

Thinking of Xia Yuanji's never-ending character, Zhu Zhanji had a headache.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Gaochi and officials from various ministries came back one after another.

Zhu Zhanji said: "This place is temporarily taken over by the Ministry of Revenue and the Dongchang. No one is allowed to enter the warehouse except those from the Dongchang and the Ministry of Husbandry without my order!"
