Chapter 1002: Baba, I'm Back
The Zheng family was just an ordinary family before the concubine entered the palace, and the concubine's father, Zheng Chengxian, was just a butcher, so the Zheng family's old mansion was originally not big, with only three rooms.
After the concubine entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, and the Zheng family slowly developed, and Zheng Chengxian's father and son also built a mansion in Beijing, but this old mansion was renovated and expanded three times, covering an area of as much as half an acre. The number of houses has also expanded from the original three to more than 60 rooms, and the flower courtyard pool has been built in the middle, and more than 10 people have been hired to guard it, which is no worse than the courtyard of ordinary large families.
In such a big place, if Liu Cheng hadn't led the way to point out where the silver was hidden, Wei Liangchen felt that it would take him at least a few days to find out the silver.
Moreover, it must be the way to dig three feet into the ground.
There is no way, who let Liu Cheng and Jiang Lishan hide the silver so secretly, so thieves.
From the outside, there is no difference between the Tibetan silver and other places, the bluestone slabs are paved, the seams are not exposed, and the silk is fastened, and it looks like a flat and clean ground.
If no one told him, Wei Liangchen would have taken a mat and slept on it every day, and he wouldn't have known that there was a huge sum of money buried under his buttocks.
The Zheng family of the old house didn't know what was going on at first, and a steward stepped forward to reprimand him, and when he saw Father-in-law Liu, who was next to Niangniang, the steward suddenly walked aside obediently.
After ordering someone to bring all the Zheng family to the other courtyard, Wei Liangchen shook off the handkerchief in his hand and ordered someone to excavate.
Cui Yingyuan immediately led a group of fans with shovels to dig the ground. Soon, as the stone slabs were carried away, baskets of dirt were dug up, and the silver chests buried in the ground were revealed.
Cui Yingyuan jumped down from the pit, opened a silver box, and found that it was full of official cast silver, most of which were cast in this dynasty, but some were in the Longqing period, and the earliest even had a silver seal in the Zhengde period. The silver patterns are all ten taels and fifteen taels, and there are probably more than 100 ingots in each box. Two more boxes were opened, and the same was true of them. And there are dozens of such silver boxes in this pit alone.
All the Dongchang fans were stunned by the scene in front of them, and even Wei Liangchen's guards were also dumbfounded.
"So much...."
Even if he knew in advance that the concubine's old mansion had hidden a huge amount of money, when he really saw these silver boxes, Tian Ergeng was shocked. Even though he was a well-known second-generation official in Kyori and didn't care about money at all, so many silver boxes still made him take a deep breath.
Wei Liangchen knew the number, and he had long been a rich man, so he was not shocked by this. He glanced sideways at Liu Cheng, who was expressionless, with a slight grin at the corner of his mouth, and found a clean place to sit on the side.
According to Liu's treatment, there are silver boxes buried under the courtyard, a total of 328. At the beginning, in order to hide people's eyes, he and Jiang Lishan transported silver into the customs in four batches in the name of caravans.
"Father-in-law, how can there be so much silver?" Tian Ergeng couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder where this huge amount of money came from.
"These are Gao Huai's savings in Liaodong for more than ten years, but they are only half." Wei Liangchen sneered and told Tian Ergeng about Gao Huai's silver collection.
Tian Ergeng was shocked again after hearing this: "So, half of it is still in Matang?" ”
Wei Liangchen nodded, Ma Tang got the Tibetan silver from Gaizhou, but it seemed that he couldn't keep it.
"Brother Tian is troubled by one thing."
Tian Ergeng was a little surprised: "What else is polite between you and me?" ”
Wei Liangchen nodded slightly and looked at Liu Cheng.
Tian Ergeng understood, and immediately walked to Liu Cheng's side quietly, and then suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed the other party's heart.
This sudden change made Liu Cheng unexpected, and the huge pain in his heart made him collapse to the ground in pain at that time.
Wei Liangchen stepped forward to look at Liu Cheng, who was shaking on the ground and was already unable to breathe, and saw that the other party's mouth was moving slightly, so he squatted down.
"For... Why? Liu Cheng's voice was full of unwillingness.
"That's what the mother meant."
After speaking, Wei Liangchen wrapped his handkerchief in his hand and pulled Tian Ergeng's sword out of Liu Cheng's heart, and a pillar of blood spurted out in an instant.
After turning around and handing the sword back to Tian Ergeng, Wei Liangchen called Cui Yingyuan.
Cui Yingyuan hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "What does my father-in-law command?" ”
"You take our brand to Deng Xian, ask him to hand over the Black Flag Arrow Team to you, and pass on our family's order to let all the horses in Dongchang in Daxing withdraw." Wei Liangchen threw his waist card to Cui Yingyuan.
Cui Yingyuan hurriedly took it in his hand, glanced at it, and said with some hesitation: "Father-in-law, what if Deng stall head refuses?" ”
Wei Liangchen didn't speak, only looked at Cui Yingyuan.
Cui Yingyuan was stunned, bowed down and said, "Humble and orderly!" Then he ordered a few fans and immediately rushed out.
This is also Wei Liangchen's test for Cui Yingyuan, if he can't even handle an unknown Deng Xian, then he is not worthy of becoming a fifth biao.
Fu turned to Tian Ergeng and said: "Brother Tian, you sit here, and then personally escort this silver into Beijing, and hand over the inner treasury." ”
Tian Ergeng agreed and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Wei Liangchen smiled: "We just came back from Jiangnan, and there are some old people in the capital, who are busy with His Majesty's errands, and they can't even bother to visit...... It's okay now, so let's just be lazy and meet up..."
Tian Ergeng let out an "oh", he could hear some concealment from Wei Liangchen's words, but he would never ask Wei Liangchen who he was seeing.
He only put the sword back in the sheath, nodded slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, go yourself, I am here." ”
"Thank you, Brother Tian!"
Wei Liangchen took his leave, and only took his guards to ride back to Beijing. After entering the city, go straight to Bei'anmen.
After more than a year, when he returned to the alley in front of the Keyin monthly rental hospital, Wei Liangchen felt extremely cordial.
Walking along the green bricks into the depths, every step can remind him of the past.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and many of the surrounding residents had already gotten up, they were either cleaning up in the courtyard, or waiting for the dung truck to come at the door, and they were a little scared when they saw a group of big men with knives surrounding a young man in the alley.
Seeing this, Wei Liangchen hurriedly asked the guards to wait for him at the changing shop at the entrance of the alley, so as not to scare the residents.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Ke Yinyue was renting, he looked at the closed courtyard door and suddenly laughed, and then knocked on the door gently.
There was someone in the yard, Ke Yinyue was at home, and after hearing the knock on the door, Ke Yinyue, who was fetching water and preparing to wash clothes, was stunned and asked outside the door, "Who?" ”
"It's me."
There were no superfluous words, and the sentence "It's me" made the guest Yinyue in the courtyard red-eyed in an instant, and the barrel fell from his hand.
She lunged to the door, and the moment the deadbolt opened, she saw the face she hadn't seen for a long time, and then she threw herself into the man's arms, hugged him tightly, cried, and then pounded his fist on the chest.
"You conscienceless bad man, why did you come back, why did you come back... I look forward to the stars and the moon, and like the husband stone, I finally hope for you back! …”
