Outside the house of Qian Qianqiu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Suddenly, a group of people surrounded them, all holding weapons and wearing armor. If you look closely, you can see that these people are holding the banner of supporting the Japanese army.
Cao Shuang and Zhao Ming, who had just left, walked out of the road that the army had given way to.
Zhao Ming looked at the Qian Mansion in front of him, turned to Cao Shuang and asked, "Is this really what my father meant?"
Cao Shuang nodded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, before you asked the slave to come out, you have indeed said that all these Song traitors will be liquidated. Before, they were left alone to maintain the stability of the court. Now that we have reached this juncture, there is no need to estimate too much." too much.
Now news has come from the north gate. When General Song led his troops to support the palace, someone raided the city gate. Now the north gate has been opened, and the defenders and the Huns are fighting. All the Huns must have focused their energy on the attack. Enter above the north city gate.
We have at most an hour to deal with all the traitors who have colluded with the Huns, and then we will leave from the south gate, and their property will be the capital for your Majesty to start another rebellion in the future. "
Zhao Ming nodded silently when he heard the words, but his eyes towards the north gate were full of sadness. Now that Bianjing was forced to do so, he, the prince, had to become a deserter, while his father was still entangled with the enemy in the palace, just for the sake of Give yourself time to leave.
Each of these events made him feel very unhappy, but given the current situation, it was his best choice to follow his father's arrangements.
Even if I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I can only accept it.
"Let's do it, Eunuch Cao."
"promise!"
Seeing that Zhao Ming finally figured it out, Cao Shuang smiled happily, then turned around and looked at the Qian Mansion in front of him, waved his hand heavily and ordered: "Attack in! Kill!"
"promise!"
A group of soldiers agreed, and immediately someone carried Chong Nu and rushed towards the gate of Qian Mansion.
But at this time, the Qian Mansion was already in chaos.
It's not that they don't know what's going on outside, but they are all in a panic and don't know what to do!
In the Qian family's backyard warehouse, Qian Qianqiu was packing things in a panic.
"Quick, quick, madam, take that painting. It is an authentic work by Wu Daozi in the former Tang Dynasty. This painting is worth much more than bulky gold and silver!
Bring your banknotes as well, Feiyun Bank’s is the best!
oops! No more of that! How long has it been, and you are still thinking about your jewelry. We will buy it for you after we escape. If we can’t escape, it will be useless for you to take it with you! "
After the Qian family learned that they were surrounded by the army, Qian Qianqiu immediately secretly said, "I don't understand. This is the emperor's liquidation of them."
Others didn't know, but he himself knew exactly what he had done, so he immediately started packing his things without hesitation. As for how to run out when the army was surrounded outside, he didn't panic at all.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows!
How could he not be prepared after he colluded with the Huns? There was a tunnel in the mansion that could allow him to escape.
But running away also costs money, so he can only collect his belongings quickly before the opponent attacks.
But the entire Qian Mansion was so rich, especially after he colluded with the Huns, he gained a lot of benefits from those who colluded with the Huns. There was countless gold and silver, and it was impossible to take them all away.
After packing some things that were convenient for him to take away, he wanted to run away, but his wife gave up!
"Master! I still have so much money at home, I can't leave! And my jewelry, they are all my dowry!"
Not only his wife, but also his worthless son was reluctant to part with the gold and silver at home.
"Yes, Dad, the troops from outside haven't invaded yet, let's pretend a little bit more! If we pretend a little bit more, we'll be able to live on just this. If we don't pretend a little more, it won't be enough!"
As he spoke, Qian Qianqiu's son Qian Qianyi stuffed a lot of gold and silver into his arms. He almost stuffed himself into a ball but still couldn't bear to stop.
Seeing them like this, Qian Qianqiu saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. The banging and banging sounds outside obviously meant that the army had started to knock on the door. If they didn't leave, it would be too late.
After some more words of advice, Qian Qianqiu became cruel when he saw that his wife and son were still desperately pulling away gold and silver!
It’s hard to persuade with words, damn you, if you don’t leave, I will leave!
You have money, but you still worry about not being able to marry a woman? Are you still worried about not being able to have a son?
This kind of idiot might even trick him later!
After thinking about it, Qian Qianqiu immediately ignored the two women who were fascinated by the gold and silver, and hurriedly left the warehouse with the banknotes.
At this time, the entire Qian family was in chaos. The servants were trying to escape in a panic. Some people were taking advantage of the chaos to rob the Qian family's things, but Qian Qianqiu turned a blind eye to this.
He took the housekeeper and headed all the way to the hut.
As soon as he arrived at the latrine, he heard a loud noise. Qian Qianqiu immediately knew that the door of his house had been knocked open, and the troops outside were probably rushing in.
"Qian Fu, hurry up! The army is rushing in, lift the lid quickly and let's leave quickly!"
The housekeeper Qian Fu was also in a panic. A group of masters and servants hurriedly opened up a floor tile in the latrine, revealing an underground entrance. They hurriedly got in, not forgetting to cover the tunnel entrance. After landing in the tunnel, we walked out...
At this time, the Qian Mansion, with the help of the Japanese army, killed anyone they saw in luxurious clothes. This was definitely the Qian family.
Zhao Ming, Cao Shuang and his entourage went straight to the Qian family's warehouse.
A vanguard team of more than a dozen people rushed to the warehouse first. As soon as they entered, they were dazzled by the gold and silver piled in the warehouse. What they saw was actually gold and silver jewelry scattered on the floor. There were enough gold and silver in this warehouse. Twenty boxes have all been opened, and they are all filled with white silver. At a glance, there must be no less than 500,000 taels of gold and silver in the entire warehouse!
Not to mention the precious calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and various precious medicinal materials in the warehouse, he was really rich.
The sudden opening of the warehouse woke up Qian Qianqiu's wife and his son, who were desperately trying to store money.
When the two saw soldiers rushing in, their faces turned pale instantly. They finally recovered from the gold and silver, but when they looked around, they saw that their father had already disappeared without a trace.
Naturally the two of them were arrested.
When Zhao Ming came here, the soldiers had packed all the gold and silver into boxes. One of them came forward to report: "Your Highness, we captured Qian Qianqiu's wife and son in the Qian Mansion's warehouse. At the same time, there were forty people in the warehouse." The fifty thousand taels of gold and silver have all been packed into boxes!"
Zhao Ming nodded, stepped forward to check the gold and silver, and immediately gritted his teeth in hatred and said: "This damn Qian Qianqiu, where did the right minister of the Ministry of Rites come from so much gold and silver? These are obviously the people's treasures, and he colluded with the Huns to collect them." the benefits of!"
It was Zhao Ming's birthday, but Cao Shuang was used to it, and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, Cao Shuang's money is not much for the nobles in the hall, and the Ministry of Rites is not that rich, as I know that.
The officials in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs are the ones who are really rich. They can even spend a million taels of silver. This is just a small scene. "
Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard this!
"One million taels!"
He couldn't imagine how greedy he would have to be to earn a million taels.
At this moment, the searching teams came back, but the news they brought back made Zhao Ming's face instantly darken.
"His Royal Highness, Qian Qianqiu was not found in the east courtyard of the Qian Mansion!"
"His Royal Highness, Qian Qianqiu was not found in the west courtyard of the Qian Mansion!"
"His Royal Highness, Qian Qianqiu was not found in the North Courtyard of the Qian Mansion!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
Teams came back one after another, but none found the real owner, which made Zhao Ming feel very bad. In addition to ransacking his house, he came here to kill Qian Qianqiu, but the real owner ran away. What should he do?
Before Zhao Ming could say anything, Cao Shuang gently shook his head: "Your Highness, don't worry, someone has been watching Qian Qianqiu for a long time, and he can't escape!"
Zhao Ming was relieved.
At this time, Qian Qianqiu had already followed the tunnel in the pit and left the Qian Mansion.
After the master and servant walked for a full quarter of an hour, they worked together to lift the cover above their heads. As soon as Qian Qianqiu got out of his head, he heard a joking voice coming from above.
"Master Qian, where are you going?"
When Qian Qianqiu heard the sound, he subconsciously wanted to retreat into the tunnel, but after a few breaths, he climbed out honestly.
Just because in the tunnel at this time, the master and servant were followed by two strong men holding swords!
Co-authored: This is outflanking, they have been discovered long ago!
After arriving on the ground, looking at the dozens of strong men around him who were looking at him eagerly, Qian Qianqiu forced out a smile: "You heroes, can you let me go? I am willing to pay you a lot of money, thank you very much!"
However, the leading man with a scar walked up to him with a smile and began to search him. Not long after, all the belongings he was carrying were found.
After giving these belongings to his men, the scarred man turned to Qian Qianqiu and sneered:
“It seems like we can get a lot of money from you without letting you go!
Do you think so? Mr. Qian? "
Qian Qianqiu suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
