When the news of Qian Qianyi's death reached the mansion, the whole family was in despair.
The wailing spread out, the entire residence was filled with grief.
When Jiang Feng and Luo Yangxing arrived with the Brocade Guard, the whole family was in a dead mood. The servants were packing up their luggage and preparing to pack up and leave.
"The imperial court has decreed that no one is allowed to leave before the Qian Mansion is investigated. Those who violate the order will be executed!”
One of the Brocade Guards held an imperial edict, scaring everyone in the courtyard into kneeling on the ground and shouting," Please spare my life!"
"My lord is incorruptible, how can he be greedy and pervert the law? Your Majesty is wise…"
An old woman in her fifties or sixties ran out from inside, crying and crying. She seemed to be Qian Qianyi's first wife. She held a silk handkerchief and knelt on the ground."I knew that this demon in our family would be a scourge. Sob sob sob…What should we do?”
Hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards rushed into the Qian Mansion and rummaged through the cabinets.
He pulled up the first wife and lined up all the women in the residence to interrogate them one by one. The men were interrogated by another group of Jinyiwei.
Similar to the situation in the Zhou Residence, boxes of calligraphy, paintings, antiques, gold, silver, and jewelry were moved out from the main hall and the side rooms, filling up half the courtyard.
"Who is this person?"
Jiang Feng clasped his hands behind his back and put on a bureaucrat's stance.
"Sir, this person is Qian Qianyi's first wife, Chen Shuhua…"
"Old age and aging, tsk tsk…Take him out, take him out…"
Jiang Feng didn't even want to look. His first glance landed on a young woman in the crowd. She had slender willow eyebrows, a delicate figure, fair skin, and lowered eyebrows. She had a pitiful posture.
"Tsk tsk! She must be Qian Qianyi's daughter…"
Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and said with pity," What an exquisite girl. To think that she would have such an old thief like Qian Qianyi as her father. She was sent to my residence. I have to teach her well to prevent her from learning bad things..."
"Milord, this person is Liu Ru, a famous courtesan of Qin Huai.”
An Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly introduced,"Qian Qianyi just redeemed her and brought her back from Jinling a few days ago. He said that he wanted to get married on a certain day, but it hasn't been too late yet.”
"It's actually a famous prostitute!"
Jiang Feng glared at him and took a few steps back."Tsk tsk tsk! Such a beautiful girl had actually fallen into the hands of a dog thief. Fortunately, you met me. Leader Luo, His Majesty has just given me a mansion and I'm lacking manpower. Send this famous prostitute to my residence.”
"Understood, my lord!"
"Ha!"
As soon as Luo Yangxing finished speaking, Liu Rushi snorted and said disdainfully,""Is this considered favoritism? In the name of punishing Lord Qian, he took it for himself. How good was Lord Qian's character?”
"How dare you…"
Luo Yangxing looked at him angrily, but was stopped by Jiang Feng. He pursed his lips and said,"Leader Luo, this woman is right, she is right!”
“……”
Luo Yangxing was stunned.
"Miss, don't be afraid!"
Who knew that Jiang Feng would pull Liu Rushi's slender hand and boast shamelessly,""This official hates those who cheat the world and gain fame the most. Officials are most afraid of being blinded by power. This girl is like a beacon, and should serve by my side to prevent me from going astray in the future and feeling ashamed of the court and the people. Commander Luo said so?"
"Ah?"
Luo Yangxing was stunned when he heard this and said in astonishment,""Yes, yes! His Majesty often said that a monarch should have a loyal minister to assist him in order to be a wise monarch. The same goes for officials!"
"This is it."
Jiang Feng closed his folding fan and waved his hand."Bring Young Lady back to the residence. In the middle of the night, this official will definitely ask Young Lady for advice on the way of being an official!”
After saying that, he continued to the next one without looking back.
Shameless!
Luo Yangxing was dumbfounded.
Jiang Feng returned all the silver that he had collected to the national treasury, but those paintings and antiques were all taken to his residence. The house was empty and needed some decorations.
In one day, they confiscated the Zhou and Qian family's silver taels, earning a total of 5.5 million taels.
Including the gold, silver, and jewelry, it was close to seven million taels.
This was simply a huge gift.
Palace of Heavenly Purity, Imperial Study.
After the eunuch Wang Chengen reported the bill, Chongzhen seemed to have become ten years younger. His fist slammed heavily on the table."Nation Decaying Worm! You're all a bunch of country rotting bugs!"
"Master, please calm down…"
Wang Chengen quickly helped him up with worry.""Fortunately, Lord Jiang has a good plan. With so much silver, it will definitely be able to alleviate the urgency of the army.”
"I have thought about it these few days."
Chong Zhen heaved a long sigh of exhaustion and shook his head."If we hadn't killed Wei Zongxian back then, Great Ming might not have come to this step today!”
"Master, you mean…"
Wang Chengen was stunned. He raised his eyebrows and said,""What Jiang Feng did today was because Master wants him to become the next Wei Zongxian?”
"The internal strife is indeed terrifying, but the most terrifying thing is that the Donglin Party will erode the imperial court. I need someone who can take down the Donglin Party. A subject would always be a subject. The amount of power was given by the emperor. The current Great Ming Dynasty needed to check and balance the Donglin Party.”
Chongzhen stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back. He looked at the gradually spreading twilight in the distance and finally revealed a gratified smile on his face.
