Jiajing frowned, he actually knew what Xiao Feng was thinking. Yan Song was definitely not an upright official, and Yan Shifan was even less so.
Just because they received Yu Dayou's golden tiger bone wine, plus doing black market business with the Tatars, they would make a lot of money.
That's why he didn't want to ransack his house before, just to save face for Yan Song and not to kill them all.
But for sparing Yan Shifan's life, he actually felt wronged by Xiao Feng, so he had to consider Xiao Feng's request and weigh it before speaking.
"That being the case, then..."
Yan Shifan was still immersed in the joy of saving his life, but he never expected that Xiao Feng would ask to check the family property, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Only he himself knows how terrifying the gold and silver treasures in his house are! Even Jiajing would be scared to death!
Once exposed, even if there are no other crimes, these properties are enough to make Jiajing furious, and he may change his mind and kill himself directly!
So while Yan Shifan continued to cry with gratitude, he crawled to Yan Song's side and used body language to remind Yan Song, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Although Yan Song didn't know how much money Yan Shifan had, he probably guessed that it would definitely cost him his life. At this time, his heart was blank, and he could see more clearly than Yan Shifan.
"Beast! You have committed such a heinous crime. Even if Long Live spares your life, do you still want to deceive Long Live? Are you still a human being? Are you worthy of your mother?
Long live the old minister, I am willing to hand over all the family property of the traitor to the court to atone for his sins. I just hope Long Live can save some dignity for the veteran.
If a large group of people were really checking the property, how would it be different from ransacking the property? The old minister has no shame in living alone. "
Jiajing sighed: "In that case, there is no need for the Royal Guards to check the family property. Lu Bing can just go."
What Lu Bing saw would only be told to Jiajing. No matter how large the amount is, the outside world will not know. In this way, the initiative lies in Jiajing's hands.
If Jiajing is willing to continue to use Yan Song, he can keep this secret. If he is not willing to use it, he can also consider some reasons to let him retire.
If a large group of people went to check the family property in public, if the amount was huge and everyone in the court knew about it, then Jiajing would actually be forced to make a public statement.
Xiao Fenggong cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, Rouge Bao has done a good job in testifying this time. Although she is guilty, I still ask my senior brother to show mercy and pardon her sister's crime."
Yan Shifan's eyes suddenly froze. He would never let Sister Rouge live a happy life after betraying him. He hesitated and spoke bitterly.
"Long live, all the crimes committed by the grassroots, the Rouge sisters were involved in the whole process, and their hands were stained with blood.
Moreover, the Rouge sisters represented the Cao Min people in many business transactions with the Tatars and the White Lotus Sect. Later, the Tatars and the White Lotus Sect no longer recognized the Cao Min people, but only the Rouge sisters. ap.
The common people suspected that their sisters had secretly colluded with the Tatars and the White Lotus Sect without telling the common people! Long live, you must be on guard!
Moreover, Sister Rouge practices evil internal skills and must take the Paradise Pill for a long time and practice the skills with a man's life.
The grassroots knew that their sins were serious and they dared not hide it any longer, so the two sisters escaped from the law and killed innocent people! "
Yan Shifan had already admitted all his sins at this time, but he had no scruples and blamed the Rouge sisters for all his sins.
Rouge Leopard had no evidence to prove that what Yan Shifan said was a lie, so naturally he could not clear himself of suspicion.
For Jiajing, suspicion is enough! What reason did Jiajing have to take the risk and let two criminals who might be craftsmen go free?
Xiao Feng's plea was of course very important, but Yan Shifan knew that Xiao Feng could only pretend to plead in passing. If he acted too eagerly, it would arouse Jiajing's suspicion.
Could it be said that Xiao Feng really has an extraordinary relationship with the Rouge sisters? Otherwise, why would Xiao Feng plead for two women who had committed many crimes? This is not Xiao Feng’s usual style!
If Jiajing suspects this, then the relationship between the Rouge sisters and Yu Dayou, whether Xiao Feng bribed the Rouge sisters, and whether what happened last night is possible, all of this will change.
Jiajing is very smart, Xiao Feng begged for Sister Rouge
Once in love, he would think it was Xiao Feng thanking Rouge Leopard for telling the truth and helping him casually.
If Xiao Feng begged again and again, Jiajing might be able to understand something.
Did An Qingyue really not leave the house? My daughter has a deep love for Xiao Feng. Could she be perjuring Xiao Feng?
If it is true, as Yan Shifan said, that one of the two women was played by An Qingyue, then Xiao Feng put on a show and fooled Jiajing.
Continuing the deduction, are Xiaodong and Lao Dao really innocent? Even if he is innocent, Yan Shifan cannot escape the blame, but Xiao Feng's crime of deceiving the emperor is not small!
Xiao Feng's eyes dimmed, he looked at Rouge Leopard, his lips moved twice, but he finally said nothing.
Rouge Leopard's eyes also dimmed. She smiled slightly and blinked her eyes, with a hint of naughtiness. Xiao Feng turned his face away, not daring to look at her again.
Jiajing was silent for a long time: "Although Rouge Leopard has merit, his sins are so serious that it is difficult to avoid them all.
When the Ministry of Criminal Justice examines his crimes, he must enforce the law impartially and not lightly. After everything has been reviewed, a decision will be made. "
Xiao Feng smiled: "Master Liu, you have to do the trial impartially. The prison is such a big place, so don't take out the incense and do something with it..."
Liu Tai was furious: "You are so presumptuous! I am not that kind of person..."
Then he realized that Xiao Feng was hinting that he was giving incense to Yan Shifan. He was full of bitterness and grievances, and he had never done it at all!
But Yan Shifan has already admitted that if he continues to be pretentious now, it will be equivalent to overturning Yan Shifan's confession. Not only will it not help the matter, but it will also make Jiajing even more angry.
So Liutai had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent. Jiajing snorted and thought about it.
"Since last year, Liu Tai has been acting foolishly many times, and has interfered in clan affairs regardless of his status.
I think there are no experienced people in the Ministry of Punishment, so I always give you opportunities to make corrections. As a result, you intensified your efforts, did not think about making progress, and just wanted to please the superior.
He was demoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zhang Juzheng was appointed the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment to see the effect! "
Yan Song was miserable enough today. Since Jiajing didn't want to destroy the Yan Party at once, he had to leave a way for Liu Tai. Liu Tai thanked him with a sad face.
He was only one step away from being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Since Xiao Feng appeared, not only has he not been able to make progress, but now he has taken a step back!
Yan Song also breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking him, he turned around and walked out. Yan Shifan climbed onto the cart by himself and pushed the wheel to keep up with his father's angry and sad pace.
Zeng Zaoban was sent home by Jin Yiwei, and Rouge Bao was taken back to the Penal Department prison by Zhan Feiyun. Xiao Feng and Lu Bing were ordered to go on their own errands.
Xiao Feng walked out of Xiyuan, his whole body felt weak and he was sweating profusely. Tianshu's punishment for being forced to test Chinese characters twice a day is indeed not light.
The people from Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion had already received the order. When they saw Xiao Feng coming out, they directly helped him onto his horse and led him straight to Yan Mansion.
Lu Bing arrived late, and Xiao Feng knew that he was asking Yan Shifan to give him some time so that he could transfer valuable things such as silver notes and antiques to Yan Song.
As for the remaining gold and silver, they cannot be transferred or hidden. As much as there is, it will definitely be wiped out this time.
Lu Bing did this not only out of affection and face for his colleagues. Xiao Feng had already guessed that the Yan family and Lu Bing actually had something to do with each other.
Apart from anything else, in Xia Yan's case, Lu Bing, Yan Song, including Qiu Luan and Tao Zhongwen, were all co-conspirators to a certain extent.
Therefore, although the Yan family suffered a complete defeat this time, as long as Yan Song was still in power, Lu Bing would not push people too hard to avoid being bitten by Yan Shifan who turned into a mad dog.
Because it was not a house raid, Yan's Mansion only opened a small door, and Xiao Feng led the policemen in, just like when they first came to Yan's Mansion to investigate the case.
That time, he forced himself to take a calligraphy test, but fell into a trap. Not only did he fail to rescue the women in the mansion, but he was chased all over the street by Yan Song, and was eventually forced to join the army to atone for his sins.
This time, no one in the house dared to stop Xiao Feng. All the servants were standing on both sides of the road with their hands down, acting obediently.
After Xiao Feng's internal strength was enhanced, his eyesight
It has naturally gotten better, and he can see that at least ten of these servants can be among the masters of the world.
Many officials of the Yan Party have fatal leverage in the hands of Yan Shifan. Regardless of whether Yan Shifan is a young minister, a white man, or even a prisoner in prison, they are still afraid of him like a tiger.
Like a centipede, the power of Yan Shifan will never disappear when he loses his official position or goes to jail. This man must die!
The house was pale white. Ouyang was a first-class imperial concubine. Insiders knew the cause of her death, but the public claimed that she died of illness.
Therefore, those officials who were not high-level enough to know what happened in Xiyuan on that day hurriedly came to attend the funeral ceremony.
But when they arrived at the door of the house, they were all stopped by the housekeeper Yan Xi, who refused to accept the courtesy. These officials were puzzled. This was not the style of Yan Mansion!
When he looked inside, he saw Xiao Feng, Yan's nemesis, and a group of people from Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion. By this time, even a fool knew that something was wrong.
So they all hurriedly said that since the chief minister is upright and upright, we will not bother him. If the chief minister needs help, just snap his fingers and we will rush there immediately, and then disperse like birds and beasts.
Xiao Feng walked through the central hall and walked to the backyard, where Yan Shifan was already wearing mourning and pushing a cart waiting there.
Within half an hour, Yan Shifan had completely calmed down, and he could even smile when he saw Xiao Feng.
"Master Xiao, thank you for your hard work. You are still sick, but you have to take care of my housework. Please take care of yourself."
Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "This is something I should have done a year ago, and I have to finish it today. Someone, please open all the doors and let everyone come out."
In each room in the backyard, the doors were opened, but none of the women inside came out. The detectives looked at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng said calmly: "Tell them three times, long live the decree, order Yan Shifan to return his slaves, wives and concubines.
Xiao Feng is ordered to take charge of this matter, so there will be no future troubles, and he can also help him return home or become independent. It's up to them to decide whether to go or stay. "
After a while, Yan Shifan's concubines came out one by one, with their heads lowered and not daring to look at Yan Shifan. Only his wife stayed behind closed doors.
In the Paradise Demon Cave, the door that was once used to trap Xiao Fengxia was later closed, and Yan Shifan had to control the key to enter and exit the secret passage.
Yan Shifan took out the key and handed it to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng did not take it, but waved his hand.
"Smash it open."
The police officers used their sledgehammers and smashed through the door eighty-nine times, breaking open many of the closed doors as well as the walls.
Bright sunlight shines into the Paradise Demon Cave, and the women inside cover their eyes with their hands. They are still dressed in light gauze, half-clothed, and their expressions are numb or panicked.
Xiao Feng turned to look at Tanaka Minoru: "Has Yan Niang arrived? Have all the clothes I asked Yan Niang to prepare been delivered?"
Tanaka Minoru nodded and said hello behind him. In the carriage parked at the entrance of Yan's Mansion, Yan Niang walked in with a few confidants such as Water Girl, Fire Girl and Cherry.
Each of them was carrying a baggage containing women's clothes. Half of them were made of silk and satin, as gorgeous as the ones they wore; the other half were simple blue cloth dresses.
Yan Niang led several women into the Paradise Demon Cave. The women all backed away in fear, and some ran back to their houses, trembling.
Xiao Feng looked at Yan Shifan's concubines and showed a faint smile, calming the panic and helplessness in their hearts.
"You guys should go in and change your clothes. When you leave the Yan family, you should leave cleanly and stop wearing the Yan family's clothes.
Remember, in this big house, you have the opportunity to choose your life again. Whichever way you want to go, just choose what kind of clothes.
If you are willing to go home and be independent, you will get a share of money. Even if you have no relatives or friends, it will be enough for the rest of your life.
If you have nowhere to go and are willing to go to Jiaofangsi or Chunyan Tower, you will also get a share of money, and someone will be able to help you and take care of you in the future.
If you are unwilling to take these two roads, there are still many people outside the capital.
The World View is under construction. The imperial court can send people to take you to the World View. "
The women all walked into the Paradise Demon Cave, and Yan Niang and the girls from Chunyan Tower were constantly persuading and comforting the women who had some mental problems.
Yan Shifan said calmly: "Didn't you say it was left to one's own free will? Why did you come with lobbyists?"
Xiao Feng's tone became even calmer: "Those outside are left to their own will. Those in this devil's cave have to leave if they want to or if they don't want to. If you are not convinced, you can sue me."
Yan Shifan knew that he could not fight against Xiao Feng at this time, so he sneered and stopped talking.
At this time, Lu Bing finally walked into the house, looked at each other with Xiao Feng, and said nothing.
"Donglou, please open all your silver warehouses, and don't let me search for them little by little. Remember, it's all the silver warehouses.
Although Long Live only sent me, he didn't let Xiao Feng avoid him. You understand what I mean. "
Yan Shifan smiled resignedly: "There are five places in total, and the keys are all here. I will accompany Mr. Lu to take inventory."
The five warehouses contain a total of 10,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver. This number is large, but for Yan Shifan, it is not fatal.
Others who embezzle half of this amount will die, but he will not. This is the privilege of Yan Song's son.
Any sin he committed was greater than embezzling the money. To kill him on the basis of corruption, it would have to be at least three times this amount.
Many of the truly valuable things are outside the Yan Mansion. As long as Yan Song does not collapse, Yan Shifan's businesses and treasury in various places will not be exposed.
Lu Bing specially called Xiao Feng over to have a look together. Xiao Feng looked at the gold and silver and just smiled.
"Yan Shifan, these women are all yours, are you embarrassed to ask me to pay them severance pay?"
Yan Shifan looked at Xiao Feng: "My money is all here, you can take it if you want, as long as Mr. Lu has no objection."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "I won't take the gold and silver that Mr. Lu has already registered. Mr. Lu is a humble gentleman and won't do a body search.
But I am a mean person with no sense of style. I think you have some banknotes on you and I want to search them on you. Do you have any objections? "
Yan Shifan was furious and glared at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng smiled at him, but his eyes were as cold as a knife.
Lu Bing turned his face to the side and carefully checked the gold and silver he had registered, as if he could pull out something new inside.
Yan Shifan gritted his teeth: "How much do you want?"
Xiao Feng stretched out a finger, and Yan Shifan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ten thousand taels? No problem, I'll ask someone to borrow it from my father..."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "One hundred thousand taels. With so many women, if they want to survive for the rest of their lives, one hundred thousand taels would be good."
Lu Bing was still carefully examining the pile of gold and silver, as if he had suddenly become deaf, and he didn't care about any of this.
Yan Shifan looked at Lu Bing, then at Xiao Feng, and finally gritted his teeth: "I don't have it with me, just wait a moment!"
Yan Shifan pushed the cart away, and Lu Bing raised his head and looked at Xiao Feng with interest.
"Are you sure he will give you the money? What if he insists he doesn't have it? It's not difficult to hide a banknote."
Xiao Feng smiled faintly and said: "Silver notes are easy to hide, but there are only a few bank accounts in the Ming Dynasty that can redeem large-value banknotes. It is difficult to monitor a few bank accounts with Jin Yiwei's methods.
So banknotes are actually not particularly reliable. If he dared to turn all the silver into banknotes, there would be no gold and silver left in his family. "
Lu Bing sighed: "So you asked Yan Shifan for money because you wanted to tell me that you knew Yan Shifan had hidden a lot of wealth.
If he doesn't give it to you, you will ask Jin Yiwei to monitor various bank accounts to cut off Yan Shifan's source of funds. "
Xiao Feng nodded: "You will be in a dilemma then. You cannot openly defy Long Live's will, even if it is just a pretense, you must do it.
But if Yan Shifan discovers that Jin Yiwei is monitoring various bank accounts, he will think that you are adding insult to injury, and maybe everything will be broken. "
Lu Bing smiled bitterly and said: "So you are actually doing it for
Just drag me into the water, right? "
There was also some bitterness in Xiao Feng's smile: "I can't help it. I have made so many preparations this time, but I still can't kill him with one blow. In addition to the variables of Ouyang's suicide, there are many reasons.
And you, Mr. Lu, are one of the reasons. From the beginning, you didn't want to push the Yan family to a dead end, because there were also your footprints on the Yan family's desperate road. "
Lu Bing looked at Xiao Feng with extremely complicated eyes, but his expression and tone were very calm.
"Wanzai's affection and dependence on Yan Song are heavier than you think.
Throughout my life, I have always followed the trend in everything and never actively harmed others, unless others wanted to harm me. "
