To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Chapter 109 Saving Queen Ma’s Son and Grandson 19

Soon the Imperial Guards took control of the entire Li Mansion, and the servants, maids and old women of the Li family were all squatting against the wall!

The female members of the family were driven to a courtyard by the imperial guards. The usually high-ranking ladies and ladies were now in disarray, weeping and hugging each other! One of the daughters-in-law of the Li family walked a little slowly, and was slapped in the face by the imperial guards and thrown into the corner. The imperial guards spat:

"You still think you're some rich lady! You can't even lift your skirt and can't even smile! Hurry up, I don't want to use any force! In a few days, the emperor will deal with you bunch of thieves!

You bitches will soon have your arms swayed by thousands of men! Even if you are strong as a rock, you will still be a lowly whore when you get to the Jiaofangsi! Why are you pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman here?

Eunuch Yun emerged from the Imperial Guards like a ghost. "Those who cause trouble to the master still want to join the Music Bureau? Bah! Don't be polite to them! You all usually act so high and mighty, now it's time to get down to earth!"

The male masters of the Li family were brought out one by one, tied up! The guards checked the roster one by one! They verified their identities one by one!

Li Shanchang was caught by Eunuch Yun in the study. The old man was carrying a bundle and was about to jump out of the window to escape when he was beaten on the head with a scabbard by the imperial guards!

Eunuch Yun walked into the study with a square step: "Oh, Lord Li, you are in a good mood. You dare to run away at this time! You are so brave!"

The good things you did have been revealed, don’t you want to say something?”

Li Shanchang fell to his knees and said, "Eunuch Yun, I was coerced. I am wronged. I want to see the emperor! I have my reasons! Wuwuwu..."

Eunuch Yun wiped his nails and said to the eunuchs following behind him, "You little bastards, this bastard said he was innocent! A few days ago, a group of us children were implicated by this bastard, and now we are still lying in bed!"

The dozens of eunuchs behind him were furious. A few days ago, there was a big purge in the uterus, and the eunuchs and palace maids suffered a lot. Many of them were beaten to pieces! Dozens of people died!

This bastard still dared to cry out for injustice! Someone shouted: "Beat him up, damn it! Just don't kill him and delay the emperor's business!

There are too many cases of eunuchs competing for favor with each other, but if something really happens to harm the interests of the eunuchs, these people will stick together!

A group of eunuchs took off their shoes, pressed Li Shanchang to the ground, and beat him with the soles of their shoes. Soon, Li Shanchang was beaten with a black eye and a swollen face.

When the eunuchs were tired of beating him, the imperial guards tied up the bruised and battered Li Shanchang tightly with ropes! Soon the imperial guards began to report that all the masters and servants of the Li family had been captured!

Eunuch Yun wiped his hands and said: "Now it's time to search out the ill-gotten gains of that old man Li Shanchang. We have already agreed that this is a matter under the watchful eye of His Majesty, so you must be sensible! Don't extend your hand where it shouldn't! Anyone who dares to cause trouble for His Majesty will have his head twisted off and used as a urinal!"

The Imperial Guards hurriedly expressed their determination: "Don't worry, Eunuch Yun, we are also His Majesty's personal soldiers, and we are determined to be on the same side with His Majesty!"

Eunuch Yun nodded and said, "My words are just a waste of time. You are all old at your job. The Emperor never mistreats his soldiers!"

With a wave of his hand, the entire imperial guard retreated like flowing water and began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets in the Li family's house looking for valuables!

Eunuch Yun sat on the armchair, drinking tea. "Li Shanchang, ah Li Shanchang, you are so audacious that you actually stabbed the master in the heart! You clearly knew what the master was most afraid of, yet you did it all!

You eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, wear silk and satin, and sleep with concubines and mistresses, yet you still don't know how to be satisfied. You have to court death. I don't understand what the hell you are trying to do. "

Li Shanchang knew that he could not escape death: "For what? Haha! For long-lasting wealth and prosperity! The Crown Prince is powerful, and so is Huang Changsun! If we let them take power, we will have no say in the court!

Only when Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne can we have whatever we want! I never thought the emperor would have such a stupid grandson, so foolish, naive and gullible!

We just didn't expect that Xu Huizhen would come back so soon. It's also because the emperor cares too much about the people. If he didn't let Xu Huizhen go out to promote cowpox, we wouldn't dare to have such an idea!

This is all fate! This is all fate! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! Such a poisonous medicine has not yet cured it! Heaven is on the side of the Zhu family, I have nothing to say!

Everything was Yao Guangxiao's idea. They were trying to take advantage of the situation while the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind!

When Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he assisted in the administration as the emperor's uncle, and I could become the head of all officials!

Now I have said it all, please ask Eunuch Yun and the Emperor to pass on a message that I, Li Shanchang, admit defeat and only ask for a quick death!

Gold is empty, silver is empty, how can it be in your hands after death?

My wife is empty, my son is empty, and we will never meet on the road to the underworld.

Power is empty, name is empty, and in a blink of an eye, it is all just a piece of wasteland!

In my life, I, Li Shanchang, have held the highest position among the officials. I have enjoyed high positions, generous salaries, beautiful women, and servants. I have not been shortchanged at all!"

Eunuch Yun was so angry that he laughed: "You talk so righteously, but you just want to undermine the royal family! We don't talk about big principles, just clean your neck and wait! Pah! What a thing!"

The Imperial Guards were very busy this time. They took out a large amount of valuables from the warehouse, including 800,000 taels of silver. Various jewelry ornaments, precious wood furniture, and various brocades and cloths were piled up into small mountains. They also confiscated all kinds of dowries and private belongings from the wives, grandmothers, and concubines in each room!

This is worth another four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, and I also found the title deed for 50,000 mu of land in Huaixi, outside Beijing! There are more than ten shops in the prime location in the city!

The bag Li Shanchang was carrying contained two hundred thousand taels of silver. The Li family was truly filthy rich!

Resisting the urge to drool, the guards packed all the stuff into boxes and sealed them!

More than eighty carriages arrived at the palace, and it took a whole day to load all the treasures into the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate to fill his private treasury with them!

Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded each of the officers and soldiers who participated in the confiscation of property with ten taels of silver! Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Shanchang was a fat sheep! The inner treasury suddenly became much richer, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel relieved!

There were 50,000 dan of grain stored in Li Shanchang's farm. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw so much grain confiscated, he hated Li Shanchang even more. It seemed that he had been planning a rebellion for a long time!

So he ordered a thorough investigation, as Li Shanchang must have more followers!

All the civil and military officials were trembling with fear. Hu Weiyong had implicated many people, and the killing had resulted in rivers of blood. Now Li Shanchang had come, and all the civil and military officials were a little overwhelmed!

But no one dared to plead for Li Shanchang at this time. It was a blessing that his family was not implicated!

The civil and military officials withered like eggplants hit by frost. As one rose, the other fell. Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power was now at its peak! Those censors who loved to complain in the court were now collectively silent!
