Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Your Majesty, there's news about Lord Li.”
Liu Jin walked into the Palace of Heavenly Purity and said to Zhu Houzhao, who was reading the memorial in front of the imperial table and yawning.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Jin's words. It was as if he had a legitimate reason to slack off. He put down the memorial in his hand and said anxiously,"Tell me, what news is there?”
Gu Dayong and the others also looked at Liu Jin. It was mainly because Zhu Houzhao was reading the memorial and they felt bored accompanying him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Li led the people of the North Garrison and killed his way into the South Garrison. He killed Xu Xianchun, the governor of the South Garrison, and cleaned up all of Xu Xianchun's people in the South Garrison.”
"Moreover, it wasn't just Xu Xianchun's men. Anyone who was doing evil was caught and killed.”
Liu Jin said with admiration,"Right now, the South Garrison Governor's Office is also under Lord Li's control.”
"Xu Xianchun?"
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said,"Is it that person from the East Chamber's Viceroy Wei Zhongxian?”
"Your Majesty is wise.”
Liu Jin nodded and said," After this old servant sent a message to the South Town's Secretary of State, this South Town's Secretary of State, Xu Xianchun, relied on Wei Zhongxian to not go and meet Lord Li."
It was obvious that he was unwilling to lose the South Town Governor.
This old servant was guessing how Lord Li would deal with Xu Xianchun.
He didn't expect Lord Li to kill Xu Xianchun without even playing around with him.”
"Li Qing is Li Qing. He has never been sloppy in doing things.”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao said emotionally.
"Your Majesty, Sir Li has touched Wei Zhongxian's men. I'm afraid Wei Zhongxian won't let this go so easily.”
Liu Jin reminded Zhu Houzhao.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao said indifferently,""You won't give up easily? I want to see how Wei Zhongxian won't let this go easily.
Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was in charge of the East Chamber?”
He could really do whatever he wanted.
Liu Jin and the others knew how powerful the East Hall was.
The East Chamber was not like the Brocade Guards. The Brocade Guards had declined because Emperor Hongzhi did not pay attention to them and Shi Wenyi, the commander of the Brocade Guards, did not manage them.
The East Chamber was different. None of the supervisors in the East Chamber were easy to deal with, especially the Great Supervisor Wei Zhongxian, who was an extremely terrifying figure.
However, Liu Jin and the others saw that Zhu Houzhao did not care, so they did not say anything else.
In the evening.
Shen Lian arrived outside the Li Residence.
However, Shen Lian's expression was one of extreme anger.
"Greetings, Lord Thousand Households."
The two lieutenants of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were in charge of guarding said respectfully as they saw that they had changed into the red flying fish clothes that only the Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards could wear.
Shen Lian nodded and said in a deep voice,""Help me report to the lord that Shen Lian has something to report.”
"Yes."
An Embroidered Uniform Guards captain responded and quickly walked into the Li Residence.
A moment later, the Jinyiwei commandant ran out and said to Shen Lian,""Lord Qian Hu, please come in. Lord is already waiting in the hall.”
"Alright."
After Shen Lian said that, he flashed into the Li Residence and disappeared in front of the two Jinyiwei lieutenants.
Soon, Shen Lian had already entered the hall of the Li Residence.
After entering the hall, Shen Lian saw Li Changsheng sitting on the main seat of the Li Residence. He knelt down and said in a sonorous and forceful voice,""Your subordinate greets Your Excellency!"
"Shen Lian, what happened again?”
Looking at Shen Lian's angry expression, Li Changsheng smiled and said.
"Milord, this subordinate has come this time for two matters.”
"One thing is to report the loot we obtained from the Imperial Guards 'South Town Governor Xu Xianchun and his five subordinates.”
"The other thing is about Milord.”
Shen Lian took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart. He cupped his hands at Li Changsheng and said.
"Let's talk about the first item first."
Li Changsheng's eyes gleamed. He had already guessed a little about what had happened to him.
"The first thing is that the total amount of money confiscated this time is 67,900 taels of silver, and all kinds of land deeds and house deeds are worth 120,000 taels of silver.”
Shen Lian said seriously.
"How much did you say?"
Hearing Shen Lian's words, Li Changsheng was shocked.
How much did they get after destroying the Blackstone Organization?
In the end, the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'South Garrison Commissioner and the five Thousand Households provided nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver.
As expected, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were richer!
However, after thinking about it, Li Changsheng felt that it was normal. Ma Yu, the censor who had previously raided his house, was only a seventh-grade official, but he had already accumulated a lot of wealth.
No matter what, the South Town Secretary was a lower fourth rank, and the Thousand Households was a fifth rank. They were all people with real power.
It was understandable that he could earn so much money.
"In total, it should be around 182,790 taels of silver.”
"It's just that the title deed and the land deed still need to be sold. It will take some time to exchange them for cash.”
"All the gains from the Blackstone organization are around sixty thousand taels of silver.”
"They're still in the North Guard of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They haven't been sent to the palace treasury.”
"This subordinate will send it up with this batch of gains.”
"According to what His Majesty said, we need to hand over half of it, so we need to hand over about 120,000 taels of silver.”
Shen Lian pondered for a moment and said,"The rest, the lord's gains should be around sixty thousand taels of silver."”
"This official also has sixty thousand taels of silver?”
"We're rich!"
Hearing Shen Lian's words, Li Changsheng smiled and said.
" Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir."
Shen Lian congratulated Li Changsheng.
"Just like before, I'll donate this 60,000 taels of silver.”
Li Changsheng said with a smile.
“……”
Shen Lian was stunned and he looked at Li Changsheng in shock.
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have suspected that he had misheard.
Daren had just donated 50,000 taels of silver, and now he was donating 60,000 taels of silver?
Wasn't Daren a little too selfless?
