Super Smuggling System

In the front courtyard, Li Mu glanced at the old woman who was still sitting on the chair, and was about to step up to pay attention, when he heard the reminder from Baihu who had just given the order.

"My lord, the old lady of the Fan family has died of anger."

Hearing that the old woman had died, Li Mu hurried forward a few steps, stretched out his hand to test his breath, but as Bai Hu said, the old woman had passed away.

Withdrawing his probing fingers, Li Mu sighed, "The dead are the greatest, so prepare a coffin for burial."

Li Mu looked at the old woman sitting peacefully in front of him, and sighed, without his intervention, the old man would probably be able to live a good life for a few more years.

But even if Li Mu didn't exist, such a wealthy family wouldn't end well in the future when King Chuang rebelled.

"My lord, be merciful!" Jin Yiwei patted Li Mu flatteringly, then pointed at the other members of the Fan family and said, "My lord, what should we do with these Fan family members?"

"Yeah." Li Mu thought for a while, for the dead old man, he would treat the dead as the most important thing, but he would not be so kind to the living people.

Regardless of whether these Fan family ginsengs participated in Fan Yongdou's affairs, they must be implicated in order to punish other Daming merchants and let them know that Daming law does not allow them to be so presumptuous.

For the benefit of their respective families, they unscrupulously betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

As for the other members of the Fan family who are living outside, Li Mu can let them go and not really implicate the other clans.

But these people living in the old house of the Fan family must be punished, at least they have enjoyed the wealth that Fan Yongdou brought from selling out Daming's interests.

"All criminals living in the old house of the Fan family, no matter men or women, are slaves of the master of the house. The men will be slaves forever, and the women will be slaves and prostitutes for generations. The other seven families will be punished according to this law."

This is really a word, life and death are predetermined.

As Li Mu's words fell, the fate of the eight Shanxi merchants was nailed to the legal case, and each of them dared to have any objection to reverse the case.

The only way for these eight families to stand up is to wait until the Ming Dynasty perishes.

But I guess it's enough. With the support of Li Mu, it is really difficult for the Ming Dynasty to perish.

Everyone in the Fan family was stunned when they heard the verdict that decided their fate from Li Mu's mouth.

Seeing the figure of Li Mu about to leave, they all stepped forward and cried and begged for mercy, unable to accept the reality of this impending fall.

Fortunately, Li Mu was able to get out of the old house of Fan's family smoothly when he was stopped by the captains of Jinyiwei.

After getting on his horse, Li Mu glanced at the plaque of the Fan Mansion on the main entrance, and listened to the voices crying for injustice inside, and said something to himself.

"Who is to blame? I can only blame your patriarch for being too greedy for profit, and wasted the lives of tens of millions of Han people. It is also to blame that you met me on this plane. Unlike the history of this plane, you still enjoy betraying the Ming Dynasty. In exchange for glory and wealth."

This sentence seemed to be addressed to the Fan family, and it also seemed to be addressed to the other seven Shanxi merchants.

Shaking his head and beating his horse, Li Mu left the old house of the Fan family and headed towards the residences of the other seven Shanxi merchants.

Chapter 2 Ending

Three days later, Li Mu's case of ransacking the homes of the eight Shanxi merchants came to an end temporarily.

All the criminals in Shanxi were brought to justice and imprisoned in Jinyiwei's independent prison, waiting for their next punishment.

The family property in the house was also sealed and checked by Jin Yiwei, and a seal was affixed.

These three days can be said to be very busy. It took about a day for two thousand Jinyiwei to calculate the properties of the eight Shanxi merchants.

Not only should all the seized property be counted and boxed, and sealed, but also the cash and silver should be listed separately.

It can be said that during these three days, all Jinyiwei in Shanxi were ordered by Li Mu, the superior official.

Fortunately, Li Mu promised to reward all Jinyiwei personnel who participated in the case, which temporarily made up for the exhaustion of these Jinyiwei.

In front of the award, all Jin Yiwei put up all their strength, wanting to show their faces in front of Li Mu, the commander.

It took only three days to finish everything.

They only waited for Li Mu's order to return to Beijing with the confiscated cash.

This inspection of the eight Shanxi merchants gained a lot of money. Excluding other items, the silver and gold alone are a lot of money.

Excluding the more than 300 million taels of silver that Li Mu promised to award, Jin Yiwei seized 400 million taels of silver and 360 million taels of gold from these eight Shanxi merchant houses.

Even if according to Li Mu's order, only the silver was packed and transported back to the capital, the number of wooden carts used to transport was so huge that Jin Yiwei had to search all over the territory of Shanxi to barely get together the wooden carts to transport all the silver, as well as the master who drove the carts. .

Ten thousand wooden carts of various types, loaded with 400 million taels of silver, slowly left the territory of Shanxi and headed for the capital.

All the wooden carts had Jinyiwei's flag on them, and they were moving slowly and unimpeded on the official road.

On both sides of the wooden cart convoy, there were twenty guards brought out of Beijing by Li Mu in the middle, and the two thousand captains of Jin Yiwei who had left Beijing ahead of time, kept riding their horses back and forth on the official road to prevent any loss of silver.

As for the [-] Jinyi Guards and Ying Guards, Li Mu left them in Shanxi and was responsible for guarding the houses of eight Shanxi merchants.

Li Mu only took away the silver, while the other belongings were still in the houses of the eight Shanxi merchants. They were all gathered together and piled up in the main hall.

If there is no one to guard it, it is difficult to ensure that there are no greedy people who have evil thoughts and are willing to take a risk.

Ignore the seal on Jin Yiwei.

Sometimes money is very touching.

Li Mu was a little worried about handing these properties over to Jin Yiwei in Shanxi, not because he doubted the abilities of these subordinates.

It is a concern about human nature. Every ordinary person has desires deep in his heart, even if he is a royal guard, when faced with so much property.

Inevitably there will be no other thoughts.

What's more, Li Mu asked the system to record the coordinates of these eight Shanxi merchant houses.

In this way, only when Jin Yiwei and Yingwei came to take care of him, Li Mu would go back to Beijing without worrying about the property left in Shanxi.

Li Mu believed that these eight Shanxi merchant houses were guarded by [-] eagle guards, and no one could break through their defense and enter the courtyard.

With a large amount of silver in deposit, the team led by Li Mu couldn't move too fast.

It took more than a month to return to the capital.

As for so many wooden carts loaded with silver entering the capital, will it cause commotion?

The answer is no.

No matter who it is, when they see the Jinyiwei flag on the wooden cart, they will consciously get out of the way and hide away.

For fear of causing trouble to the upper body, those ignorant children will be spanked by adults, and then hugged tightly in their arms, secretly looking at the convoy.

Curious about what will be in the box on the wooden cart.

This is the benefit brought by Jin Yiwei's arrogance in the capital in the past, no one dared to touch his tiger's whiskers easily.
