The next morning.
Changfeng went to the alley and bought soy milk and fried cypress. Wake up Tangtang for breakfast.
Huzi was licking his tongue at the dinner table.
Chang Feng laughed and scolded: "What are you greedy for? One time when we got to Beisi, you had lamb wrapped in silver foil to eat! Isn't it much more delicious than soy milk and fried cypress?"
After breakfast, Mrs. Huang came to the courtyard.
Chang Feng handed Xiangxiang to Mrs. Huang: "It's still the old rule, let Tangtang learn a word today."
Mrs. Huang is literate, which is why Chang Feng hired her in the first place.
Now Tangtang can already write her own name "Chang Tian" and also knows more than 300 Chinese characters.
Changfeng led Huzi to Fusi, Beizhen. First, I went to the Baihu who was in charge of the order and signed my name.
Then he came to the gate of the prison.
Hu Zi's food was taken care of by the prison kitchen soldiers. The kitchen soldier has prepared a pound of lamb wrapped in silver foil.
In the prison, the bandit leader's bandit song was heard again: "A hundred thousand mountains are high and high, and a poker is stuck in the waist. If any girl doesn't marry me, lock her up and set her on fire!"
This bandit song is quite heroic.
Chang Feng thought mockingly: I might as well be a bandit! Liu Bingyi wouldn't let Xiaoyan marry me, so I closed the door of Liu's house and threatened to set her on fire.
Oh, I'm afraid that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no precedent for the daughter of a chief envoy being robbed by bandits. However, one of the emperor's women was robbed by the Walas...
Chang Feng finished feeding the tiger cubs.
Fatty Xu yawned and walked over, rubbing his sleepy eyes: "Good morning, Master Chang."
Chang Feng asked: "Was the bed in Yihong Building still warm last night? You look like you just dug a vegetable cellar."
Fatty Xu said: "Vegetable cellar? Last night, Fatty, I clearly dug a dungeon! It's not going to work anymore, I still have to go to Yihong Tower less often."
Chang Feng joked: "Don't bother me. You are as lazy as a pig. You just go into Yihong Building to consume energy, sweat and lose weight."
"Taste the dung to suppress the envoy" Zhu Ji came to the two of them.
"Meet the governor."
Zhu Ji said coldly: "Give me your two cards first."
"If you find enough thirty thousand taels from the Cai Mansion, I will return your waist badges. If you don't get enough thirty thousand taels today and tomorrow, don't take the waist badges!"
In the words of later generations, Zhu Ji was a bad boss who was very good at using KPIs to pressure people.
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu had no choice but to hand over their waist cards with both hands.
Zhu Ji picked up the waist badge in his hand and walked away. What he was holding in his hand was not a bronze waistband, but it was clearly Chang Feng's future.
Chang Feng watched helplessly as the waistband got further and further away from him.
Order all your men. Everyone came to Cai Mansion again.
Fatty Xu brought a big wooden barrel. The wooden barrel is filled with cold jasmine tea.
All the bannermen, captains, and warriors frowned: It seems that the most disgusting process of confiscating the house is about to be carried out!
That bucket of jasmine tea is not for drinking. It is used to soak towels.
Chang Feng picked up a wet towel from the bucket, wrung it out, and ordered: "Don't be stunned. Bring a tea towel!"
Everyone picked up the "tea towel", wrung it out, tied it on their face, and covered their mouth and nose.
There is a way for officials and wealthy households to hide their silver, which is called "dung hiding".
As the name suggests, it means burying money in a big cesspool. A large cesspool is a dirty place, perfect for concealing money.
There are four thatched rooms and two royal rooms in Cai Mansion.
The four huts are for the convenience of servants. The two royal rooms are used by Cai Zhonghe, his wife and visiting guests.
A hut is different from a hut. To put it bluntly, the latrine is a large cesspool connected to the cesspool.
The Gongfang is covered with wooden boards on the cesspool, and the wooden boards lead to the Gongbang. Similar to ancient toilets.
Everyone first came to a hut. Chang Feng, the commander-in-chief, was the first to jump into the manure pit with a shovel.
Chang Feng firmly believes that as the chief officer of the fifty people, he should lead by example and lead the troops. Otherwise, why should the brothers be convinced and work hard for him?
Ten strong men also jumped into the manure pit with shovels.
Changfeng braved the stench, wielded the shovel, and dug down with his brothers.
They dug four huts and a hut in succession, but found nothing. Everyone's body was covered with dirty things.
There is only one last Kyofusa left.
Chang Feng glanced at Fatty Xu: "Fatty, it's your turn to jump down the fifth flag."
Fatty Xu frowned into the character "Chuan". He shouted loudly: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man jumps into a manure pit and will never return! Brothers, roll up your trouser legs!"
Fatty Xu's words made all the brothers laugh.
Chang Feng first asked someone to lift the wooden boards of the palace. The big cesspit is right in front of you.
This time, Fatty Xu jumped first. Like a fat maggot swimming in a sea of excrement.
Chang Feng and ten strong men jumped down immediately.
The shovel dug down a foot. "Clang!"
Fatty Xu shouted: "Master Chang, we shoveled something! It's in stock!"
After a stick of incense, a huge iron box was dragged out of the palace by a group of brothers using thick hemp ropes.
Chang Feng has been ransacking homes for three years and is someone who has seen money. He estimated that the iron box was filled with silver, which should be about one thousand taels.
It's better than nothing.
However, when the box was opened, Chang Feng and his subordinates were dazzled.
Once the sun hits the box, golden light is reflected in the box! The chest is filled with gold ingots.
Chang Feng wiped his hands and counted the number of gold ingots. There are fifty-two gold ingots in total. Each piece is made of twenty-two shapes.
A total of one thousand and forty taels. Exchangeable for 10,400 taels of silver!
Women, land, and houses cannot be compromised. Gold can change color.
The number of dirty silver copies jumped to 14,890 taels! Nearly half of the task is completed.
Chang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. Then when he inhaled, he almost fainted from the stench of his own body.
The command of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is very discerning.
He saw that the masters of Jinyiwei were checking the excrement cache this morning, and specially sent his men to the wooden barrel shop in the south of the city to transport fifty large wooden barrels.
He ordered people to set up a large pot in Cai's mansion, boil a lot of hot water, and pour it into wooden barrels for the people of Jinyiwei to bathe.
The conductor endured the stench and came to Chang Feng: "Master Chang, the bath water is ready. I also prepared clean cloths for you all."
Chang Feng was extremely satisfied: "Sorry for bothering you."
The commander smiled and said: "What are you talking about? It is the duty of our Military and Horse Division to serve the superiors of the Imperial Guards well."
From ancient times to the present, there have been several such people in every yamen. It may not be possible to run serious errands, but flattering and serving your boss is worth ten.
Chang Feng was in no hurry to take a shower and change clothes. He first ordered the accounting officer to check the number, transfer the gold ingots to a clean wooden box and affix a seal.
After doing all this, he waved his hand: "Brothers, take a shower!"
More than fifty men stripped naked in the front yard of the Minister's Mansion and jumped into the barrel.
The commander of the Military and Horse Division also thoughtfully ordered people to pour a lot of broken tea leaves into the wooden barrel.
Having reached this point in flattery, you are already considered a master.
Chang Feng stroked the edge of the barrel with his hand and calculated with his eyes closed. Next, we need to check Banzang, Liangzang, and Jingzang.
Fatty Xu muttered in the wooden barrel next to him: "My mother's leg was broken. I said I dreamed about falling into a manure pit a few days ago."
Chang Feng smiled and said: "Fat man. Do you know how Jin Jinggong died?"
Fatty Xu wiped his face with a towel: "How did I know?"
Chang Feng hung up the book bag for Fatty Xu: "Historical records of Jin Jinggong's death contain only eight words: 'He ate, became bloated, went to the toilet, fell down and died.'"
Fatty Xu is a typical noble son who has no knowledge and skills and no ink in his belly.
He asked: "What do you mean?"
Chang Feng explained: "That is to say, Jin Jinggong ate too much one day and his stomach became bloated. He went to relieve himself, fell into a manure pit and drowned. This is a strange way for a king to die."
Fatty Xu said: "Hey, why don't we in Jinyi Guards say that you, Master Chang, are full of knowledge? You can tell allusions even if you dig into a manhole."
After everyone took a shower, they changed into clean cloths.
Chang Feng ordered: "Go to the hall and check Ban Zang."
