Outside the palace city, Qinglongfang!
On the long street, a group of Jinyi guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hung on their waists strode towards the Xu Mansion. The people on the long street pointed and showed a look of confusion on their faces.
"Which government bodyguard is this?"
"Why have I never seen such a costume before?"
"It doesn't seem like he's a yamen servant from Jingzhao Mansion!"
Seeing a group of more than a hundred people staying in front of Xu Mansion, the surrounding people also gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Xu Mansion?"
"If I remember correctly, this Xu Mansion is the residence of Xu Pengzhan, the Minister of Household Affairs, right?"
"You are a high-ranking official of the fourth rank!"
While everyone was discussing, a stern young man at the head waved his hand, and the hundreds of people behind him directly formed a formation and surrounded the main entrance of Xu Mansion!
"Who are you?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Which yamen are you from?"
A housekeeper who was over fifty years old walked out of Xu's mansion. He looked at the more than a hundred people in front of him and suddenly showed an angry look on his face: "This is the residence of Mr. Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs. Do you still have royal laws in your eyes?"
"I am the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu!"
"I have been ordered by the emperor to strictly investigate the corruption case. Your Majesty's decree is here. Anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy!"
Jiang Wei glanced at him lightly, then saw three figures riding horses in the distance, and quickly strode forward to greet him: "Jiang Wei, my lord!"
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Fan turned over and dismounted, wearing a flying fish suit, holding an embroidered spring knife, and said loudly: "Everyone listens to the order and immediately seals up the Xu Mansion, locks the stolen money and stolen goods, and arrests everyone in the Xu Mansion!"
"As you command!"
After Jiang Wei saluted respectfully, he gave an order directly, and the more than a hundred Jinyi guards behind him strode towards the Xu Mansion. Dozens of servants rushed out of the Xu Mansion and blocked the door!
"Anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy!"
"How dare you!"
The old housekeeper was also frightened and angry, trembling with anger: "This is the residence of a fourth-rank official in the current dynasty. How dare you kill people in the street?"
"Stop them for me. No one can step into my Xu Mansion until you are here!"
"very good!"
The corners of Ning Fan's mouth curled up slightly, his expression instantly turned extremely cold, and he waved his hand: "Kill!"
After receiving the order, a group of Jinyi guards drew their swords and charged into the Xu Mansion. Led by Jiang Yu and several Jinyi guards Qianhu, how could a group of servants be the opponents of these evil gods? After just a few encounters, there were more than ten people. People fell in pools of blood.
The people around them all looked frightened and kept retreating, but there were also some good people who kept pushing forward. The old housekeeper was even more frightened at this moment. He pointed at Ning Fan while retreating and said: "No king. It’s law!”
"Come here, go to the Hubu Yamen and ask the Lord to come back home!"
"There is no need to go, your family has been suspected of corruption and bribery, and the amount is huge, and has been arrested by my Jinyi Guards!"
Jiang Wei rushed into the mansion with a cold face. No one around the servants dared to stop him. More than a hundred guards in golden uniforms rushed directly towards the various courtyards of Xu Mansion.
"It's over!"
"It's all over!"
"Is it possible that something really happened to you, sir?!"
The old butler's face was ashen, and he sat slumped in the corner. A long knife was directly placed on his neck, and a playful voice sounded: "Do you want to live?"
"Sir... have mercy on me!"
"Haha, please spare your life. Take me to the Xu Mansion Treasury. If we can find out Xu Pengzhan's embezzled money, not only will you be able to live, but many people will be able to live. But if we find out..."
"You must die, everyone in the Xu family must die, and everyone who has anything to do with you must die!"
Ning Fan's voice sounded like it was coming from the Nine Nether Hell, bone-chilling and murderous, making people shudder!
"Yes, yes... I will take you to the treasury now!"
"Sir, follow...I'll do it!"
The old housekeeper led Ning Fan toward the Xu family's treasury with trembling legs. Ning Fan looked at Jiang Gu and said in a deep voice: "Go and send someone to control the accountant of the Xu family!"
"As you command!"
A moment later, Ning Fan and his party, led by the old housekeeper, arrived in front of a treasury. The heavy door was opened after removing the iron lock, and a group of royal guards rushed in and carried out large boxes one by one!
More than a dozen Jin Yiwei spent a full amount of time cleaning up the incense before a member of the Qianhu family rushed to Ning Fan.
"Reporting to your lord, we have investigated and disposed of more than 60,000 taels of gold, more than 420,000 taels of silver, and more than a thousand pieces of jewelry and jade!"
"Please take a look, sir!"
Before Ning Fan's Jia Xu could speak, Jia Xu on the side said softly: "The Ministry of Households is indeed the money bag of the imperial court. Over the years, the national treasury has become empty. It turns out that everything has gone from the national treasury to the private treasury!"
"Haha, you really force me to wield the butcher's knife!"
There was a bloody glint in Ning Fan's eyes. He looked at the boxes of golden ingots in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Wen He, go and take our Emperor's Gate Order and Jinyi Guard Order Talisman in person, and mobilize a thousand forbidden troops. !”
"promise!"
Jia Xu left in a hurry with a Qianhu, and Jiang Yu also strode over with a group of people. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, all the account books of the Xu family are here. Mr. Accountant committed suicide out of fear of guilt!"
"Um!"
"As long as the account books are there!"
"Have any of the members of the Xu Mansion ever taken control?"
"Report to your lord, arrest them all!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly and said softly: "The investigation report in the hands of the father revealed that the Minister of Household Affairs embezzled more than 70,000 taels of silver. But today in the Xu Mansion, we seized gold and silver worth up to one million taels!"
"Haha, a minister of household affairs can seize more than one million taels of silver. I really look forward to seeing if this wave of corrupt officials can be investigated and dealt with, can it be worth a year's tax revenue!"
"Jiang Wei!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Send someone back to the Yamen and tell several thousand households that I hope that everyone can confess within today!"
"No matter what method is used, I will have a big fight tonight!"
"As you command!"
…
The palace!
Emperor Yu, who had just been about to rest for a while, was about to move when he saw Jing Li, the commander of the Imperial Army, walking over in a hurry!
"Your Majesty, just now King Xuan Yong sent people with the Royal Gate Order and the Royal Guard Order Talisman to mobilize a thousand forbidden troops!"
"What!" Emperor Yu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What is he doing with the Imperial Army?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty seems to have just ransacked the house of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the stolen goods are huge. He said that he is mobilizing manpower to carry the stolen goods!"
"oh?"
Emperor Yu's face showed a hint of amusement: "It's just tens of thousands of taels of silver to go into such a big fight. This kid is still too impetuous!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just taken over the power, so it is appropriate for you to act a little flamboyantly!"
"However, he directly sealed off the palace of the Vice Minister, will it..."
Seeing a flash of worry in Jing Li's eyes, Emperor Yu showed a sneer on his face: "Haha, as long as I get the stolen goods, I want to see what they have to say!"
"Go and assign him another three thousand forbidden troops. Within three days, they will obey King Xuan Yong's orders!"
"promise!"
