The sun is rising.
Chang Feng pushed Fatty Xu, who was snoring like thunder: "Fat guy, get up. Today is the last day for house confiscation."
Chang Feng, who is insignificant in the capital, has realized that he is involved in a shocking political trend.
Like everyone else in the world, he sympathized with the miserable prince.
But for the sake of his own future, he had to become a pawn for others to attack the prince.
The pawn has been pushed across the river by the chess player, and there is no way back.
The only thing he can do now is to copy enough thirty thousand taels on the last day to keep his status in Jinyiwei.
He consoled himself: In life, you will always do a few things that make you feel bad.
Chang Feng had breakfast with Fatty Xu and Tangtang.
Not long after, Mrs. Huang came. After handing his sister over to Granny Huang, Chang Feng and the two went out of the courtyard, holding Hu Zi in hand, and went to Jin Yiwei to order their hair first.
When I reached the entrance of Lvdiaozi Alley, a fortune teller came face to face.
The fortune teller holds a banner. The banner reads: "It takes five hundred years to know, and five hundred years to know."
Chang Feng glanced at it and felt funny in his heart: "The tone is really loud."
The fortune teller stretched out his hand and stopped Chang Feng: "Two adults, wait a minute."
Chang Feng asked: "What's the matter?"
The fortune teller muttered: "Tai Chi generates two yin, two yin generates four phases, quick and quick..."
"Ah! I see that the two officials are shining brightly. Today they are seeking wealth and getting it. It's a pity that the wealth will not be yours, but there will be a step up in your official career!"
Chang Feng thought to himself: This guy's words to fool an ignorant woman are really right.
Today I have to copy another eight thousand taels of dirty silver from the Cai Mansion before I can make the deal. Isn’t this asking for money?
The money copied out must be peeled off by the superiors before being handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The wealth does not belong to oneself.
Chang Feng has never believed in yin and yang. But he still asked: "Where is the money?"
The fortune teller smiled slightly: "Wealth seems to be in water, but in fact it is in soil."
Chang Feng said: "Speak more clearly!"
The fortune teller pretended to be mysterious: "The secret must not be leaked!"
Fatty Xu on the side couldn't hold it in any longer: "Get out of here! You want to swindle money from our two brothers so early in the morning?"
"Be careful, Fatty. I'll say hello to the yamen servant of Shuntian Mansion and lock you to the urine bucket in the yamen prison!"
The fortune teller turned and left happily.
Fatty Xu said to Chang Feng: "This old coffin boy can defraud money and pick eggplants without looking at him!"
Chang Feng said: "Don't tell me, this liar is full of nonsense, and he is quite right."
The two of them went to Jinyiwei to order some meat and feed the tigers.
After tasting the feces, the bad boss Zhu Ji came to the two of them again.
Zhu Ji said coldly: "Commander Wan changed Jun's order."
Because Fatty Xu was the eldest son of a Duke, he was sometimes not very well-behaved in front of Zhu Ji. He beamed with joy and said: "Commander, please forgive me for not giving up our duties even if we don't get 30,000 silver coins?"
Zhu Ji glared at Fatty Xu: "No. The commander said that if you two don't copy enough 30,000 silver, it means you are covering up corrupt officials."
"Those who protect corrupt officials are not only unworthy of being guards, they are not even worthy of being ordinary people."
"Xu Guangzuo has a title that he wants to inherit. If he drives out Jin Yiwei, there will be no further prosecution. Chang Feng has no title to attack, so he will be sent to Datong to be exiled."
Although it was early autumn morning, the weather was slightly cold. Chang Feng still had cold sweat on his forehead.
how? If I don't copy enough 30,000 yuan, not only will my future be cut off, but my livelihood will also be cut off?
Zhu Ji said lightly: "Remember. As of today's Youshi... 30,000!"
Chang Feng had no choice but to lead a group of men to Cai Zhong's mansion again.
Among the "eight treasures", only "well treasures" and "different treasures" have not been investigated.
Chang Feng was not in a hurry to carry out these two steps.
He ordered his subordinates: "Discover the wealth!"
A group of men began to take action.
The so-called "turning over money" means rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
The property hidden in the dark is considered the "eight treasures".
Those belongings placed in conspicuous cabinets and boxes are in an open place, which is called "clear wealth".
Generally speaking, the money should be turned over on the last day of the house search.
There is no reason, this is what Chang Feng’s master taught him.
His master failed in an errand a year ago and was secretly punished by the superiors. His body was thrown into a mass grave in the south of the city.
At this moment, the flag officer of the fourth flag who was on duty last night came over with a captain who was tied up by Wu Hua Da.
Chang Feng asked: "What's going on?"
Xiaoqi replied: "Shi Wenyi is so brave! Last night he went to relieve himself, but took a sidetracked path and ended up in the West Cross Courtyard where the prostitutes of the Guancai Mansion live."
"An aunt from Datong seduced him. He couldn't hold it in. He took care of the matter in the woodshed."
"When he was doing business, he was braying like a donkey, and Aunt Datong was braying like a wild cat in spring. It alerted the night watchmen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
"Please also ask the general to hand him over to Nanzhen Fusi for sentencing."
Chang Feng remained silent and stared at Captain Shi.
According to family rules, the female relatives of prisoners who slept in custody should be sent to Nanzhen Fusi, who is responsible for the law and discipline of the guards, to be punished - the crime of beheading!
However, Lieutenant Shi's biological eldest brother was a minister of the Hou Army Governor's Mansion. The second-grade military attache of the imperial court.
Shi Xiaowei was escorted to Nanzhen Fusi by Changfeng's hands and lost his head. How could his eldest brother, General Shi, not find Chang Feng to blame?
Chang Feng wears Jin Yiwei's tiger skin. General Shi didn't dare do anything to him.
But what if I don’t copy 30,000 taels today and I’m stripped of my tiger skin and sent to Datong to be sent to the army?
General Shi is in charge of the border troops! Sending a letter to Datong can make Chang Feng disappear from the world.
Chang Feng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Chang Feng asked Shi Xiaowei: "Those eight Datong aunts and Yangzhou Shouma are already on the roster of the Jiaofang Division, right?"
Lieutenant Shi said with a horrified expression: "Yes."
Xiaoqi reminded: "Although he is on the roster, he has not yet been handed over to the Jiaofang Division."
Chang Feng waved his hand, interrupted Xiao Qi, and continued to ask Colonel Shi: "Since they are on the roster of the Jiaofang Division, they are official prostitutes, right?"
Captain Shi's seventh soul had already lost his sixth soul, and he could only say blankly: "Yes."
Chang Feng asked for the third time: "You slept with the goblin last night and gave her two taels of silver, right?"
Captain Shi was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Chang Feng smiled and said: "You gave an official prostitute two taels of silver and slept with her. That is not considered a private affair against an official's wife, but a prostitute."
"Although the "Da Ming Code" clearly states that any official who lodges with a prostitute will receive a sixty-six-meter staff. But which government office still cares about this rule today?"
Good guy, if Chang Feng lived in modern times, Luo Xiang would be second best.
Captain Shi reacted and knew that Chang Feng was trying to excuse him.
He nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I gave her two taels of silver."
Chang Feng ordered: "Relax."
Xiaoqi was untied by Captain Shi.
Chang Feng took out four coins of broken silver from his sleeve: "Brothers, whoever has cash in hand should collect two taels. Give it to Captain Shi."
Everyone donated their money one after another, and in a blink of an eye they collected two taels of silver.
Chang Feng put the broken silver in Shi Xiaowei's hand: "Go and pay for the prostitution!"
Lieutenant Shi gave Chang Feng a deep bow: "Thank you very much, Chief Banner. It's a great kindness that I will never forget."
Chang Feng didn't speak and waved his hand. Shi Xiaowei took three steps and then two steps at a time, heading to Xikuoyuan to pay for whoring.
Chang Feng told the rest of his men: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and find out the money!"
Everyone went about their business.
Fatty Xu lowered his voice and said, "Master Chang, you are just an old loach in the Yongding River!"
Chang Feng said meaningfully: "It's so easy to practice in Gongmen!"
"Discovering Mingcai" lasted for an entire hour. The boxes and cabinets in Cai's house were searched over and over.
The total of the silver, gold, copper coins, and treasure notes found was only six hundred taels.
There is still a difference of 7,400 taels!
