In the Wei Mansion, the original slaves and servants in the mansion were all gathered together, and most of these people would be dismissed with some silver. Unless they are evil slaves who have bullied people with blood on their hands and harmed people's lives, these people will be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. There should be an archive of the people's complaints in the past, and the lawsuits of the ordinary people will be accepted in the future.

The family of Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei, was gathered in a small courtyard where his subordinates lived and detained, and they were unwilling to deal with Chen Yue directly, and it was decided by the imperial court when Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing. As for Xu Jiujue himself, he has been sent to Yingtianfu Prison and interrogated by Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei.

The mansion was in shambles, and there were brocade guards in every room of the house who were rummaging through them, and they wanted to search out all the property and make a register. In each room, two heavily armed soldiers watched to see if the brocade guards would fill their pockets and take advantage of the opportunity to carry gold and silver riches in their pockets.

These soldiers are all subordinates of the pacification officer Shan Minglei, and Shan Minglei himself is also patrolling everywhere with a serious face.

Before raiding the house, Chen Yue had already stipulated that the gold and silver property seized this time would be used to reward the army, whether it was the Jinyi guard who was responsible for the raid or the soldiers who supervised, or even the soldiers who did not participate in the operation but were responsible for the defense, all the Pingnan military headquarters, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits, even the Zhenjiang soldiers under Cheng Xun who followed the siege are no exception.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion, the Xincheng Bofu, the Chengyi Bofu, and other nobles who will be raided one after another, rudely estimated that the gold and silver wealth confiscated should be no less than millions of taels, and a million taels of silver were taken out to reward the army, and on average, each soldier could get at least a few dozen taels of silver.

As for those who dare to stretch out their hands in the raid, they will be severely punished once they are discovered, and the two Ying Tianfu servants who have broken their legs are a lesson from the past. Chen Jianghe transferred many people from Ying Tianfu's mission to join the Jinyi Guard, which also led to the uneven quality of the raiding team, and had to be rectified with heavy hands.

With the rewards promised afterwards, and the tragic situation of two errand servants with broken legs, many people had to put away their greedy thoughts. Wealth is tempting, but it's nothing compared to a small life.

In the flower hall of the Wei State Mansion, Chen Yue was looking at the list of confiscated goods, and his mouth let out a smack sound. The wealth that Wei Guogong has gathered in the past two hundred years really cannot be underestimated, and what has been confiscated so far has already made Chen Yue breathtaking.

"Fifteen hundred ingots of gold were found in the treasury of Fuzhong, filled with twenty large boxes, twenty taels each, a full thirty thousand taels! In addition, there are more than 10,000 ingots of silver, more than 2 million taels.

There were countless other pearls, agate, jade, and diamonds, and the gold, silver, and jade jewelry copied from each room filled ten large chests, worth millions of taels. ”

While Chen Yue was looking at the list, Liu Neng said on the side, his voice trembling, how could he have seen so much wealth!

30,000 taels of gold, more than 2 million taels of silver, and the cash silver alone is worth the annual income of the Ming treasury! Chen Yue was amazed, that is, a top nobleman like Wei Guogong could save so much cash at once!

And this is only gold and silver jewelry, and the rest of the wealth is not converted.

In Nanjing, in addition to this mansion of the Duke of Wei, there are more than ten other courtyards under the name of the Duke of Wei. And this Wei State Mansion was originally Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne before the Wu Palace, was given to the meritorious Xu Da, and after more than 200 years of operation of the Xu family, covering an area of about 30 acres, although it is not very big, but the rockery pond small bridge flowing water, the scenery is unique, just like the fairyland of the world, in later generations this is known as the four famous gardens of the Zhan Garden.

The value of this mansion alone is immeasurable, not to mention that there are other mansions nearby. The Duke of Wei has a great business, and this Duke Mansion is only where Xu Jiujue's family lives, while the servants and servants of the family live in the other courtyard adjacent to the Guogong Mansion, and a lot of the wealth of the Guogong Mansion is also in the other courtyard.

The grain seized from the courtyard was as much as tens of thousands of stones, enough for thousands of people to have a year, and this is not counting the grain in the grain store under the name of the Duke of Wei, and there are countless other substances such as cloth, oil, and salt.

According to the confiscated list, the land under the name of the Duke of Wei totaled 360,000 mu, distributed in Yingtian, Taiping, and Ningguo prefectures, and there were tens of thousands of tenants attached to it.

There were 100 shops in the city, engaged in silk, cloth, and grain, and every year they earned silver like flowing water.

All kinds of house deeds filled a box, wrapped in a thick oilcloth, looking at the title deeds in his hand, Chen Yue was excited at the same time, and at the same time, there was also a raging anger in his heart.

Think about the time when his father and son had a full meal and couldn't get it, but this kind of moth-like nobleman accumulated so much wealth, most of which was obtained by ingenuity, how many people were ruined by them, and how many people were exploited by them for generations!

Xungui is the leeches on Daming's body, sucking blood and devouring the marrow, until the skin and bones that Daming was sucked could no longer suck and collapsed, and these leeches died together!

......

In the Tianfu Prison, the prisoners of the past were all released and moved to other places, and the vacated cells were filled with people, but today's prisoners are all arrogant and expensive, and they are all big people who were high in the past!

The captured Duke of Wei Xu Jiujue, Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, and their son's henchman, Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle, ran away, and his family was also arrested.

For Xu Jiujue and Zhao Zhilong, who had knighthoods, Shen Lian, who was in charge of interrogation, did not punish them. But for their henchmen and family, and even the son, Shen Lian was not so polite.

Inside the prison, the sound of whips breaking through the air continued to sound, followed by terrible screams.

The purpose of Shen Lian's interrogation is to conceal wealth, and then to prove rebellion, don't you know? It doesn't matter, the whip will make you speak up, even if you really don't know.

For Shen Lian, who was from a humble background, being able to execute these high-ranking bigwigs gave him a morbid sense of satisfaction. Aren't you the son of Guogong, and now you are not crying in front of Lao Tzu! This kind of satisfaction is not something that can be felt when dealing with ordinary people on an errand in Huai'an Mansion before.

"My lord, it's a move!" In another cell, the subordinate in charge of interrogating Xincheng Boshizi ran in and happily handed over a confession to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian picked it up and glanced at it, and immediately called one of his subordinates, "Quickly send the confession to Hou Ye and tell him that Hou Longping is also involved in the rebellion!" ”

......

Wei State Mansion, Chen Yue glanced at the confession and threw it aside, "Pass the order and order Li Yi to send a soldier of the general banner, led by Jinyiwei, to raid the Longping Marquis Mansion!" ”
