In front of Meng Zhao, there was a lively scene.
Wearing open-breasted short sleeves and full of strength, Meng's servants worked in pairs, carrying huge wooden boxes from outside the door and crossed the threshold of the side door of Xiyuan.
Even though they were all middle-aged men, with strong muscles and bones, and good strength, they still seemed very strenuous and they were breathing heavily.
It can be seen that the contents hidden in the wooden box are very heavy.
However, no matter how hard it was, I didn't dare to show any signs of neglect. Instead, I was cautious and full of care for the things in the box, which could even be said to be fanatical.
There are more than twenty boxes like this, which contain either gold or silver, as well as pearls, jade, rare medicinal materials and other valuables. Lu Le next to him took stock of them all and then sealed them in the warehouse.
These are not the treasures hidden by Tu Xiu, but the income from some of the properties of the second house in Jizhou were collected and sent to the Meng Mansion. This is already the third batch.
These industries are scattered throughout Jizhou, and among the nine counties, some are small, the income is high, some are low, and some even lose money, but when put together, it is still a huge sum of money.
It is far inferior to the wealth hidden in Tu Xiu's treasure, but it can be accumulated over time. It is definitely not comparable to Tu Xiu's treasure which will become less and less with more use and will be exhausted one day.
This is the foundation for the family's long-term prosperity. In contrast, treasures are just a temporary blessing that will not last long.
A similar situation also occurs among the first-time and third-households. In terms of income and property, it is definitely far higher than that of the second-households who have only just started to work hard.
It can also be seen from this that although the Meng family is famous for its nobility, its wealth is probably rare in Jizhou, and it is unknown how many direct and indirect forces and businesses it has.
Meng Zhao looked at these harvests with a smile on his face, and his pale face became red again, not to mention that Lu Le next to him was beaming with excitement and was inexplicably excited.
At this time, ten days have passed since the Minghualou murder case. The atmosphere in the city is still tense. There are often menacing sword-wielding men wandering around in the streets and alleys with portraits, risking their lives to find Zhu Guangxi for the reward of the government and the small family. There is no trace of him, but there is still no news.
Because Zhu Guangxi had not been caught and the time limit set by Cui Tan had exceeded, three important county officials were removed from their posts, and two head catchers who were suspected of providing convenience to Zhu Guangxi were directly imprisoned and awaited processing.
I heard that the homes of the two arrestees were also robbed. It can be said that if something happens to one person, the whole family will be affected.
Moreover, the perpetrators are most likely family members of the victims who died or were injured that day. They have the motive and strength.
It's not like there's no good news.
Wang Xuan, the head catcher who first served as Hu Wanwan's chess piece and later was used by Meng Zhao, took advantage of this to rise to the position of chief catcher, who had some twists and turns. After this incident, it should be a certainty and the value of the chess pieces will also increase.
Let's talk about Zhu Guangxi, who is also in a state of confusion and panic like a rat at this time.
The Minghualou murder case has caused a sensation in the whole state, and the news has been sent to the capital, poking holes in the sky.
Not to mention others, it angered the elite faction in Nan'an County, which directly led to the unprecedented intensity of this manhunt, which was different from the previous two pursuits of Shi Jie.
The first wanted search for Shi Jie was done by people in the city to please Shen Tianci, and it was more of a show.
The second time Shi Jie was wanted was actually with Hu Yingxiong. The cause was his sneak attack and murder of the innate master of Tianxing Hall. For this reason, the city was closed for three days. The main search was focused on the two imperial powers of the county and Tianxing Hall. The Meng family only acted as helpers and did not participate too much.
Although the two efforts were strong, there were many loopholes.
But this time it was different. No one dared to ignore the sensational effect caused by this murder. Perhaps in some time, an imperial edict would be passed down from the imperial capital. Therefore, although Zhu Guangxi had forces behind him working for him, his traces were discovered many times.
However, this eunuch was extremely brave and relied on his innate martial arts and swordsmanship to break out of tight sieges many times. He even spent his resources and forcibly improved his skills to kill one of Cui Tan's innate masters with a unique move, which shocked the whole county.
However, Zhu Guangxi was already running out of gas after doing this several times, and sooner or later he would be caught.
And that day is not far away now.
In addition, Meng Zhao, and even the entire Meng family, were in trouble during this manhunt and were too busy to deal with the problem.
Han Pu said this to him personally.
In fact, Meng Zhao's reluctance is understandable. He now only wants to change his blood, awaken the Purple Dragon Body, and then go into Yunwu Mountain to find the pure-blood dragon, and then reach the pinnacle of his life.
But Meng Jizu and the entire Meng family did not try their best, which surprised Meng Zhao.
In the end, it was Zhu Guangxi who was responsible for causing Meng Xi to be seriously injured and almost killed.
Although Meng Zhao's injury was caused by himself, the outside world also believed that it was Zhu Guangxi's fault.
Such a situation can be described as an out-and-out hatred.
Meng Jizu actually had such great courage and could not move even when he was attracted. He really could endure it.
To live up to the status of the head of the Meng family, it is not for personal enmity, but for the benefit of the family.
At the same time, it also verified some of Meng Zhao’s previous guesses.
The person behind Eunuch Zhu is by no means simple. He is probably a person with great hands and eyes in the capital.
The Meng family may have learned something, or even guessed it at the worst, so they didn't want to get too involved.
Now that the matter has passed, Meng Xi was sent to Kong's house for treatment not long ago and should be fine, but he may not be able to come back in a short time.
Meng Zhao's injury will recover soon.
There is no need to bear the unspeakable danger just for the sake of temporary anger.
If the Meng family put in the effort to really capture him and ask about some secrets and troubles that they shouldn't know, wouldn't they be asking for trouble when facing a behemoth in the capital?
On the contrary, it is better to calm down, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and watch the changes in the external situation.
After all, there shouldn't be too many people who want Zhu Guangxi's life now. The small family in Nan'an County has many relatives and friends, and this strength is enough to deal with an innate martial arts.
There are not many Domeng family members, and there are not many Shao Meng family members.
For this reason, Meng Jizu also had a special talk with Meng Zhaochang, hoping that he would not hold any grudges, thinking that the family was unwilling to vent his anger on his behalf.
Meng Zhao still behaved very openly and without any complaints.
This time it was a sex act. He didn't even think about what Han Pu and his people would do to Zhu Guangxi, let alone the Meng family?
Finally, there is Mr. Fang Xiaohou of Qingninghou Mansion.
If there hadn't been an assassination that day, Meng Zhao and the young marquis, who was extremely friendly to him, would have become, at worst, worthy friends.
Now, this young marquis can be said to be neglected in front of the house. After all, the murder was related to him. The fault was not his fault. How could so many people die there?
Therefore, the extremely unpopular Mr. Fang Xiaohou has been having a very unhappy life these days and is very unpopular.
Of course, because of the relationship with the Hou Mansion, no one dared to vent their anger on him.
On the other hand, the old Shen family's grandson died, but he did not neglect him too much. He still wrote a letter for him and was willing to build some connections for him among the Three Lords of the South.
It's the only bit of comfort.
At this time, Han Pu, who was wearing a navy blue cotton robe, rushed over. When he saw Meng Zhao standing on the inside of the door, he handed over a note.
Meng Zhao glanced at it and sighed, Mr. Fang Xiaohou was leaving.
