Chapter 486

The left army rushed into the city, and each general led his troops and horses to occupy all the key areas, control the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury of Yingtian Mansion.

Zuo Liangyu was welcomed into the city by Shi Kefa and others. The team walked on the street and passed by a very grand mansion.

"Whose mansion is this?" Zuo Liangyu suddenly strangled the reins of the horse.

The officials and gentry in Nanjing seemed to have seen a familiar scene again. Shi Kefa said: "This was the mansion of Duke of Wei before, but now it is the mansion of Duke of Liang."

Ma Shiying looked at the two stone lions in front of the mansion, and saw the grand bronze ingot gate. She suddenly yawned a big yawn, as if she was a little sleepy and stopped moving forward.

Seeing this, Xu Yong, the general on the side, suddenly understood, "Our general is sleepy!"

The officials and gentry looked at each other and looked at Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa could only say: "Then let the marquis go to the governor's office of the Five Army to rest first, and we will come to visit again tomorrow."

"No! It's too noisy for people to come and go in the yamen!" Xu Yong said.

Shi Kefa was in trouble. Zuo Liangyu couldn't stay in the yamen, and no one dared to invite him home.

When Zuo Liangyu moved in, his soldiers must also live in. If he ruined his own female family, he would have to cry to death.

Fang Fengnian said: "I have a house in the south of the city with beautiful gardens and can be lived in by the Marquis."

Xu Yong shook his head again, "The South City is too far away. Our general is too lazy to leave."

No one spoke now, and everyone immediately understood that Zuo Liangyu was interested in Gao Huan's house.

Everyone knew how cruel Gao Huan was. The Duke of Tie, who had been passed down for more than 200 years in Wei, was killed directly if he said that.

Although Gao Huan is not in Jiangnan, his remaining power is still there. Who dares to make the decision to give Gao Huan's mansion to Zuo Liangyu?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zuo Liangyu's eyebrows became a little unhappy.

Xu Yong then said, "I think this house is good! Just live here!"

Ma Shiying originally thought that Gao Huan was so arrogant and shameless, but he didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be fine at all.

"This is the residence of Duke Liang!" Ma Shiying said in a deep voice.

Zuo Liangyu's eyebrows stood up, "I'm afraid Gao Huan in Nanjing will not be able to come back. It's a waste to keep this house, so I will live here! Who do you have any objections?"

Ma Shiying had a calm face, and the many officials and gentry naturally had no objection. They did not let Zuo Liangyu live. It was Zuo Liangyu who wanted to occupy Gao Huan's house, so they couldn't blame them.

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu's residence in the Duke of Liang was also a good thing for them, so as not to see Zuo Liangyu's appearance on his mansion.

Fang Fengnian said: "We have no objection, as long as the Marquis lives comfortably."

Zuo Liangyu was cloudy and sunny, and he called, haha, "Okay! This place will be Ningnan Marquis' Mansion in the future."

After speaking, Zuo Liangyu rode a horse to the front of the mansion gate, turned over and dismounted. A soldier had already called to open the mansion gate and rushed in.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu then strode into the mansion of Duke Liang. Xu Yong walked to the door, glanced at the golden lacquer plaque in front of the door, snorted coldly, "Take the plaque off and replace it with the Marquis of Ningnan."

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu stopped and waved his hand, "Don't hang the plaque of Ning Nanhou, you will have to change it in a few days. Please!"

When Xu Yong and others heard this, they immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! The general should be the king, it is because he is a humble position and is not well-thought."

Zuo Liangyu nodded with satisfaction and then strode into the mansion.

"Become a king?" Shi Kefa and others were stunned after hearing the words of Zuo Liangyu and Xu Yong.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu's back disappeared into the hall, and Shi Kefa and others were still standing outside the mansion, messy in the wind.

When Zuo Liangyu walked into the mansion, he found that the entire Liang Duke's mansion was really big. Zuo Jun captured the servants of the mansion and took Zuo Liangyu through several halls and came to the main courtyard. There were veranda on both sides, and more than ten upper rooms on the front, all of which were carved beams and painted buildings.

Zuo Liangyu picked a room and just sat down, Jin Shenghuan hurried over to find Zuo Liangyu, and said anxiously: "Master, brothers, I went to the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue. It was clean inside. Gao Youcai, the one who got a thousand swords, didn't leave a single copper for us!"

Gao Youcai was the Minister of Revenue of the Hongguang court, who was in charge of the Hongguang Dynasty's money bag.

Zuo Liangyu squeezed his eyebrows in the middle and quickly got up from his seat, "No way! Gao Huan copied the Nanjing nobles and blackmailed Qian Qianyi and others. There was at least 10 or 20 million taels in the Ministry of Revenue's account."

Jin Shenghuan said: "Isn't it? But there is really no one in the warehouse. This must be Gao Youcai's transfer of interests and transferred all the money to Gao Huan. Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue is an empty shell."

As soon as Jin Shenghuan finished speaking, Zhang Yingxiang, who went to occupy Yingtian’s treasury, ran in and said anxiously: “Master, Da egg, the money and food in Yingtian’s treasury have been transported away long ago!”

Zuo Liangyu heard that the national treasury and Yingtian treasury were both clean and uneasy immediately.

He went south from Wuchang and gave his soldiers Xu Luo. When he arrived in Nanjing, he rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver. Now the national treasury and the government treasury have no money, so how can he fulfill his promise?

"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Zuo Liangyu picked up his helmet, hurriedly left the house, and went to the warehouse to check.

Soon, Zuo Liangyu and his group came to the warehouse in North City.

Zuo Liangyu walked in and saw that he was very good, and he looked like a big warehouse, and there was nothing, and he was cleaner than his face.

Zuo Liangyu looked at seven or eight warehouses in a row, including those who put silver, food, cotton, cloth, and tea, without exception, they were all clean.

This made Zuo Liangyu angry, and he kicked over a row of silver wooden frames, "I'm so angry that I'm so angry!"

The soldiers of Zuozhen who came to Nanjing to enjoy happily were stunned. Unexpectedly, Gao Youcai and Zhou Yanru moved the treasury so cleanly.

In fact, for Gao Huan, the Hongguang court was just a sign to facilitate him to collect taxes from Jiangnan. The assets of the Nanjing court had long been quietly transferred to Liang State by him.

Xu Yong said: "Master, what should I do? Brothers are all looking forward to Master giving their salary."

Zuo Liangyu, with a dark face, walked back and forth a few steps in the empty warehouse, suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Gao Huan has made more than 20 million taels of silver from Jiangnan. If he can make money, I can naturally make money. You go and call Shi Kefa and others, ask them what's going on in the warehouse, and ask him to summon the big gentry and give me the salary."

"Yes!" Xu Yong nodded when he heard the words, and immediately turned around and left.

At this time, when Zuo Liangyu was trying to find a way for the military pay for the Left Army soldiers, the soldiers of the Left Army who entered the city had already started to do it themselves.

These days, when the army was in the army, there was basically no money and money, and the monthly military salary was less than one tael of silver. The court often did not pay it.

For ordinary soldiers in Zuozhen, they no longer know what military pay is, and they all solve it themselves.

Today is a happy day for the soldiers of the Left Army. As soon as the soldiers entered the city, they began to prepare their own military pay without taking a break.

In the restaurant in the city, a large group of left soldiers rushed in, filling the restaurants in the city, and forcing the shopkeeper to serve the dishes.

The soldiers swept away all the food and drinks in each restaurant. Before leaving, they beat the shopkeeper in front of them to death. By the way, they snatched the silver from the counter and left.

After drinking and eating, the soldiers of the Zuo Army broke into the people's homes in groups to grab money. They took things if they had no money, snatched clothes and put their shoes on them.

There was also a group of soldiers who had heard of the rhymes on the Qinhuai River, so they ran to the Qinhuai River, slept on the cold and the madam, which scared the girls from all over the brothels to board the pleasure boats and quickly fled Nanjing.

Shi Kefa and his party came from outside the Duke of Liang's mansion. As soon as they returned to the yamen, people and gentry came to complain, claiming that they had been robbed and lost countless money. The people were beaten to death by the Zuo Army after a little resistance. Many women committed suicide after being insulted by the Zuo Army, and their bodies were directly carried to the yamen.

This made Shi Kefa and others completely stunned. He knew that the left army had poor discipline, but he didn't expect that it was so bad that he was even worse than bandits.

At this time, Fang Fengnian and other officials were still calm. After all, their high-gate courtyard had walls and guards. Ordinary soldiers were in chaos and could not even rob them.

"Shigemen! A small impatience will cause chaos in the big plan!" Fang Fengnian comforted Shi Kefa with earnest consolation: "The Jiangnan still needs the guards of Zuo Town. Shigemen will endure it and communicate with Nanning Hou tomorrow to let him restrain his deployment and the matter will be over."

At this time, more and more people complained outside the yamen. Everyone was afraid that the people would let the Zuo Army enter the city, surrounded them, and then beat them to death, so they hurriedly left the yamen and returned home.

Fang Fengnian was sitting in a sedan chair and walked past the street. The Zuo Jun was in groups of three or five, and he did not dare to provoke a big man like him. At most, he would stop him and let him go directly, not daring to do anything randomly.

Fang Fengnian sat in the sedan chair and heard crying and scolding all over the streets and alleys, just urging the sedan chair bearer to return home quickly.

Soon, the sedan chair arrived outside the mansion. Usually the sedan chair was carried directly into the mansion, but today the sedan chair owner stopped outside.

Fang Fengnian raised the curtain of the sedan chair and frowned and said, "How to stop? Why don't you enter the mansion!"

The manager, who was standing by the sedan chair, turned around with a look of surprise and pointed to the mansion and said, "Master, the house has been occupied by the officers and soldiers!"

Fang Fengnian was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly came out of the sedan chair. He saw the servants of the mansion kneeling together by a group of left soldiers, and his family members were also driven out.

Seeing this, Fang Fengnian immediately looked cold and raised his eyebrows, and asked, "I am a Grand Secretary of the Chongzhen Dynasty. What are you doing? How dare you seize my mansion!"

A hundred-house family from the left army outside the mansion saw an old man pointing at his nose and cursing. He immediately raised his eyebrows and pushed Fang Fengnian to sit on the ground, "I care about you, what a Grand Secretary! This house is now being requisitioned by our general!"

When did Fang Fengnian be treated so roughly? He fainted from anger. The Fang family quickly lifted him aside and pinched him hard. It took a while before he woke up.

Seeing this, the servants breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Fengnian's turbid eyes were filled with tears, and his hands trembled at the Zuojun who was in the palace, "It's too domineering~ I'm going to find Ningnan Hou to accuse you~"
