"Mr. Ge, please follow me!"
Dianbao Wang Biaofeng's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to be afraid at all.
Wang Biaofeng led Yuan Keli and others around the palace for a long time, and arrived in front of a palace made of stone.
Then he took out a key, then turned the mechanism in a hidden place, and the door of the inner library slowly opened.
"Mr. Ge, please wait a moment!"
Yuan Ke was about to go in, but was stopped by Cui Ming.
Before Yuan Keli could speak, Cui Ming stared at Dianbao Wang Biaofeng, his voice full of murderous intent: "Wang Biaofeng, is there any mechanism in the palace's inner treasury?"
"You don't need to deny it. I will ask the left and right officials and the royal family members one by one.
If there is any discrepancy with what you said, I will let you try the methods of Jinyiwei's prison. Even thinking about death will be a luxury!
Murdering the current court elders, imperial envoys, and commanders of the Six Guards is a major crime against the nine tribes.
The lives of more than a thousand people in Prince Qin's palace are all going to be beheaded, so you have to think clearly. "
After Cui Ming finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Keli again: "Come here, go and ask the chief historians on the left and right, and also bring out the prince of Qin to ask."
"My lord, there is absolutely no mechanism in the inner treasury."
Cui Ming did not respond to Dian Baozheng's words. Dian Baozheng controls the financial power of the palace and must be an absolute confidant.
If he commits one with the intention of dying, he will definitely be dead.
He also asked several Jin Yiwei to go in and check. The Jin Yiwei specializes in arrests and arrests, and they are naturally knowledgeable about various agencies.
About a quarter of an hour later, the three parties got the answer that there was no answer, and the Jin Yiwei inspection did not show it either. Cui Mingcai followed Yuan Keli into the inner treasury.
The inner warehouse is rectangular, about fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, and is filled with things.
"Wang Biaofeng, please introduce the internal treasury situation."
"Mr. Ge, the inner treasury of the palace is the same as the transportation warehouse of the palace. It is divided into twelve categories including satin, gold and silver, gems and jade, horns, feathers, antiques, calligraphy and painting, land deeds, etc., and there are more than ten supply warehouses outside! "
"Mr. Pavilion, there are hundreds of silks and satins of all kinds in the satin library, red and green phoenix women's clothes, bright red woven gold python gauze,
There are eighteen kinds of precious silk and satin yarns, including agarwood weaving, golden phoenix women's clothing yarn, and more than ten pieces each. Among them, the yellow ground cloud, dragon branch, peacock feather makeup satin is the most popular, and there is a total of one piece. "
"What did you say?"
After listening to Wang Biaofeng's words, Yuan Keli suddenly cried out.
Zhou Ming was completely surprised by his gaffe. He had been following Yuan Keli for two months and had never seen the elder be so glum.
"Mr. Ge, what can you say about this yellow... damask?"
Yuan Keli looked at Zhou Ming's curious face, then at the commanders behind him, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that Emperor Wanli's robe is made of this kind of satin?
It is made of a piece of gold thread, twelve kinds of colored silk and peacock feather thread. It takes ten top weavers ten days to weave one foot of fabric. There is a piece of yarn here, what an exaggeration. "
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were all rough people and didn't really know much about this stuff. But how could the stuff Emperor Wanli used be so bad?
"Let's put it this way, any piece of silk and satin here is worth hundreds to a thousand taels, and the yellow ground, cloud, dragon, broken branch, peacock feather makeup satin is ten times more, something that even money can't buy.
Hiding something that is beyond the rules of etiquette is punishable by beheading.
It is said that in order to please his second concubine Deng, the first King of Qin made her the queen's phoenix robe, and also made the bed in his room into a five-claw dragon bed.
As a result, Deng was sentenced to death by Taizu and scolded by the King of Qin. Now that he has made this kind of silk and satin, the Prince of Qin's palace is really unrepentant! "
"Such a satin warehouse is worth five hundred thousand taels of silver."
Everyone's eyes were full of shock, but if a satin warehouse was worth so much money, wouldn't the other warehouses be more valuable?
"Open the gold and silver vault!"
hiss……
The moment the gold and silver warehouse door opened, several people standing at the door took a breath, their eyes full of surprise.
I saw on the shelves in the gold and silver warehouse, there were ingots of silver in the shape of a saddle, with arcs at both ends and a girdle in the middle.
There is also a small shelf in the innermost corner, which is full of gold ingots.
The impact of silver is obviously much greater and more direct than that of silk and satin.
The commander of the Six Guards can be considered a man who has seen the world, but he still can't help but swallow his saliva when facing this room full of money.
Keng...
Seeing the greed in Liu Wei's eyes, Cui Ming gently twitched the long knife.
The sound of the long sword rubbing against the scabbard was like thunder in the ears of the commanders of the Six Guards. The six people trembled all over and regained their clarity in an instant.
Yuan Keli picked up an ingot of silver and saw the inscription "Yuan Bao" and fifty taels engraved on the bottom of the silver ingot.
But there is no bank name. It seems that it was recast privately after receiving the loose silver.
"Wang Biaofeng, how much gold and silver is there?"
"Back to the pavilion, sir, the silver in the gold and silver warehouse is fifty taels per ingot, totaling 586,000 taels, 6,000 taels of gold, and more than 100,000 taels of loose silver, totaling 740,000 taels of silver. Six thousand taels.”
Everyone gasped again.
Yuan Keli frowned slightly and said nothing more.
Everyone continued to look at the remaining ten categories of warehouses. At the end, everyone was numb.
The treasure and jade warehouse has all kinds of rare jades, including a panlong-knuckled movable ring ear tripod carved from a single piece of jade, a topaz pig dragon, and a half-foot-diameter blue and white jade leather chilong bi ornament. Chicken blood stone and Shoushan field yellow stone can only be placed there. In the corner.
"Mr. Pavilion, the various kinds of jade in the jade warehouse are worth three hundred and thirty thousand taels."
PS: In the Ming Dynasty, jade was not like what is said now or on TV. A piece of jade was worth thousands or tens of thousands of taels, ordinary ones were a few taels, medium ones were dozens of taels, and high-quality ones were hundreds or thousands of taels. The best ones were more expensive.
The Ming Dynasty historian Zhang Dai recorded in "Tao'an Mengyi" that his uncle Zhang Eryun once obtained a hosta made by Lu Zigang, a famous jade expert. At that time, someone offered three hundred taels of silver.
After viewing the treasure and jade warehouse, everyone once again entered the tooth horn, feather, antique, calligraphy and painting warehouse, etc. The collections inside were all high-quality and rare items.
It took a full hour for everyone to browse through the eleven categories of warehouses in front of them.
Standing in front of the land deed warehouse, Yuan Keli immediately became excited.
He doesn't care about the eleven warehouses in front of him. Although the things are good, they are not easy to cash in.
Every item is of extremely high value, and at this juncture, even those who can afford it probably don’t dare to buy it.
Moreover, he came with a secret message from the emperor, asking for more fields.
"Open!"
After Wang Biaofeng opened the warehouse door, the scene inside shocked everyone.
The land deed warehouse is much smaller than the previous warehouses, and there are no shelves. There are only dozens of standard old warehouse boxes (size 30X24X20Cm).
When I took a closer look, I discovered that there was a small note taped to each old official's box.
Cui Ming checked a few and muttered: "Xi'an Prefecture, Chang'an, Xianning, Xianyang, Xingping, Lintong, Jingyang..."
Yuan Keli was thoughtful and asked in a low voice.
"Wang Biaofeng, don't these old officials' boxes contain land deeds?"
