Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Master Zhong frowned:

"Xiao Jin, you said that the officials want to use this incident to reward the father?"

"So and so, what do you mean?"

At this moment, Zhong Sijin was walking aimlessly in the main hall.

While slowly recalling what she had seen and heard walking on the streets of Tokyo over the years:

"Father, as far as Xiao Jin knows, before this, officials would usually appoint officials he liked or trusted, or officials who had made significant achievements in many aspects, to do such important things."

"And those officials, usually after receiving such appointments from the officials, often act very quickly when they go to the homes of guilty officials to raid their homes, and they rarely show reluctance."

"And when Xiao Jin was walking around the streets, he heard from the servants of some officials' houses that officials who were involved in confiscating their homes would often steal many rare treasures from the homes of officials Dai Zui during the raid. Treasure, gold, silver.”

"And these things seem to be open secrets."

"Perhaps among the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only meritorious generals like my father and uncle who are dedicated to the country and only think about quelling the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty. I don't know clearly in my heart."

Zhong Shidao didn't have much doubt in his heart about his little daughter's narration.

After all, as a father, he spends the most time in his own house and the palace.

As for the market place, he didn't go there at all on weekdays.

And what about the high-ranking civil servants in the court?

Zhongshidao rarely comes into contact with him on weekdays.

So for these things, Mo Kan Zhongshi Dao had a high status in the hearts of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but as for the degree of knowledge of these things, he really didn't know as much as his daughter.

But at this time, Zhongshidao, after listening to his daughter's words.

The expression on his face was still the same as before, without any trace of joy.

This not only made his daughter feel happy, but also made her murmur in her heart:

What kind of trouble is my father trying to make?

Obviously, I, the daughter, had already told him just now.

This house raid will definitely yield a lot of rewards.

Moreover, the homes of a grand master, four lieutenants, and two wealthy farmers were confiscated at once.

As a result, the amount of gold and silver that can be recovered from these houses will probably not be overstated by the amount of money that can be carried in a truck.

Among such wealth, how could outsiders find out if some were left behind?

What's more, judging from what my father just said, the only people leading the process of ransacking the house this time were my father and uncle.

How could such brothers report on each other?

So, what else is there to worry about?

But why is my father, after listening to the explanation I just made, still frowning and saying nothing like before?

It’s really puzzling:

"Father, what are you..."

Zhong Sijin wanted to say something more to Zhong Shidao, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhong Shidao:

"Xiao Jin, don't say any more."

"It is a matter of loyalty to the Lord as entrusted by the Lord."

"In this matter, a father can only do his duty as a minister."

"As for the rest, no matter what, I won't think too much about it."

"Furthermore, since the official family has given this job to my father, it represents the official family's trust in my father."

"Since the official family trusts my father so much, how can my father hide any selfishness while doing things for the official family?"

"If this is really the case as a father, how can he be worthy of the trust of the officials?"

"What if after hearing what you said, my father would make a lot of money during the process of confiscation of the official's house, and pocket a lot of money that does not belong to my father."

"Then what's the difference between this approach and the thieves of our country who are about to have their homes confiscated today?"

"Is it possible, Xiaojin, that you also want your father and our entire family to follow the same path as Cai Jing and others?"

Zhong Sijin was refuted by her father's words and was speechless.

Looking at his father's retreating figure, he couldn't help but hurriedly said:

"Well, then, I, I will go with my father to ransack the house this time. I can see the world from there, right?"

Zhong Shidao slowly turned his head and looked at his little daughter helplessly:

"If you really want to go, then come along."

"Anyway, you've been busy these days and are tired enough."

"This trip is just for fun."

The next morning.

Three of them, Zhong Sijin, Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Shi, after having breakfast, led five hundred imperial guards from the city defense garrison office and hurried towards Cai Jing's mansion.

While passing by the main road in Tokyo City, Zhong Shidao specially took out some silver coins and put them in Zhong Sijin's hands.

Such a situation immediately made Zhong Sijin feel a little confused.

But when she heard that intention from her father's mouth.

He couldn't help but smile helplessly:

"Father, what did you say?"

"After we enter Cai Jing's mansion, we have to take off even the brocade clothes of the wives, concubines, sons, daughters, and maids in Cai Jing's mansion?"

"And replace it with the coarse linen clothes I bought?"

"Father, is this a bit..."

The expression on Master Zhong's face remains unchanged:

"Since the government asked my father to ransack the house, it must be done by those traitorous officials, from inside to outside, from top to bottom."

"That being the case, how can we not take off all the silk clothes worn by the traitorous officials and their family members?"

"Even those silk clothes are already worn by people."

"But it can still be sold at a discount in the market."

"As for those coarse linen and linen clothes, it can be regarded as a reward for the family members because my father took pity on them."

Zhong Sijin weighed the five taels of silver in his hand with his small hands:

"What if the family members don't obey?"

Master Zhong glanced at Zhong Sijin:

"I believe, you girl, there are ways to get them to agree."

When Zhong Sijin, Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Shi led hundreds of guards, they walked quickly to the door of the restaurant.

The entrance to this mansion has long been guarded by imperial guards.

As soon as Zhongshi Dao and others arrived, they immediately surrounded them.

He was doing the handover work with Zhong Shidao and others with a fawning look on his face.

The guards in the palace, regardless of their low official rank, are all human beings.

Someone who can be personally appointed by an official to come to such a high-ranking official's residence to carry out the task of ransacking the house.

Can its status in the hearts of officials be any lower?

If this is the case, then it makes sense for their guards to act this way.

But at this moment, Zhongshi Dao's attitude was much colder than that of the palace guards.
