There is a mansion in the capital's west city. The main door is vermilion red and there is a side door on each side.

Under the steps on both sides of the gate, four strong and arrogant servants stood on each side of the gate. A plaque hung directly above the gate, saying "I gave the sincerity to the Bo Mansion of Chengyi". This was written by Zhu Yuanzhang to Liu Bowen.

A middle-aged man who looked like a manager was sitting on a stool and was dozing. Suddenly, a large number of corpses wearing yellow shan clothing, robe belts, white background and black-faced official boots, and embroidered spring swords appeared at the entrance of the alley in the distance.

While the servants were stunned, a group of Jinyi School Captains came to Chengyi Bo Mansion. The dozing manager had already woken up, and walked up with a somewhat alert expression and bowed, asking, "This is Chengyi Bo Mansion, what's the point of doing you guys?"

The leader was a Jinyiwei Qianhu. He ignored the manager and turned around and ordered: "Each hundred households surrounded him, so that one person could escape!"

Several hundred households led their subordinates to spread out, and Qian households led dozens of lieutenants to the gate. The manager of the Bo Mansion quickly gave a wink at one of his subordinates, and the man rushed into the mansion.

He reached out to stop the Qianhu and asked, "This lord, this is the Imperial Master's Mansion. No one is allowed to trespass, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, a captain with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist behind Qianhu stepped forward a few steps and slapped the manager in the face. The manager staggered back a few steps, bleeding from his mouth and nose, buzzing his ears, and his cheeks instantly bulged.

The manager was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up. He covered his cheeks and screamed: "Do you want to zào     fǎn? Come on, call me back!"

Those servants were used to being arrogant, and when they heard the order from the manager, they pulled out their waists.

Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, stepped back and sang: "See the sage and search for the sincerity Bo Mansion. Anyone who dares to disobey will kill him or her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few bowstrings were heard. Several lieutenants holding bows and arrows on the roof opposite the mansion opened their bows and arrows and shot arrows. Several servants standing in front fell down. One of them was shot in the throat and killed on the spot, while the other people were shot in the chest and cheeks, and they fell to the ground to make a tragic roar that was not like a human voice. The manager and the other servants were so scared that their faces were pale. The servants who were holding the knife threw the knife and knelt down to the ground under the guidance of the manager, and they all trembled all over.

Qianhu led his men up the steps, and the door suddenly opened. A young man in his twenties, with a pale face and a frivolous step, wearing a brocade robe walked out of the door, with several servants in charge behind him.

The young man saw several servants lying under the steps at a glance, his face changed drastically, and pointed at Qianhu who was leading the team and shouted sternly: "You are so brave! You are blind! You dare to come to the Earl's Mansion to cause trouble, who will give you the courage!"

The servants behind him all drew their swords in their hands, eager to try.

Qianhu looked at him contemptuously and said, "I am Li Lie of Qianhu, the Qianhu District, Xicheng City of Jinyiwei. Who are you? How dare you be rude to me?"

"I am sincere in the prince Liu Chengxian, open your dog's eyes and see clearly!" Liu Chengxian yelled.

"Brother Xiao? Haha", Li Lie looked at him with a slight smile, then raised his face and said, "See the sage metaphor, check the sincerity Body Mansion, please cooperate!"

"What? Check the Bo Mansion?" Liu Chengxian felt a dizzy moment and almost couldn't stand steadily. The manager behind him hurriedly supported him.

Li Lie ignored him and turned around and shouted, "Come with me!" After that, he stepped forward to the gate first, and the captain behind him followed with a knife.

The servants in the door looked at each other and did not dare to stop them. Li Lie strode inside. After the lieutenants entered the door, they sent out several people to disarm the servants, and then ordered the servants to gather together and assigned several lieutenants to take care of them.

Liu Chengxian came to his senses and hurriedly chased Li Lie to the mansion.

Chengyi Bo Mansion was extremely large in scale. Li Lie led his men through several courtyards with carved beams and painted buildings before coming to the inner house of Bo Mansion. The maids he met along the way, and the servants all looked surprised when they saw the lieutenant holding a knife and gun. Some of them were so scared that they ran to the inner house in panic.

The Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao had already heard the news and stood under the eaves of the main hall with a dark face. Li Lie led everyone to the inner courtyard. Liu Chengxian chased in panic and lost one of his shoes.

He came to his father with a strong breath. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Kongzhao raised his hand to stop him and asked gloomyly: "Who are you, why are you trespassing into the uncle's mansion?"

Li Lie stood firm, took out the imperial edict from his arms and spoke, "There is an imperial edict, Liu Kongzhao will accept the imperial edict!"

Liu Kongzhao suddenly felt that the situation was not good, but he could only kneel down and listen to the orders. The rest of the people in the mansion fell to the ground.

"Zha Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao has always been arbitrary and ordered his confidants in the mansion to take away lives and seize other people's property. The amount is huge and the impact is bad, which leads to the public's fierce attacks! He is indifferent to the holy grace and virtue, and now he takes over his title to serve as a warning to others, and I admire this!"

After reading the imperial edict, Liu Kongzhao suddenly stood up, spreading his teeth and claws, his face was exposed, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out.

He roared loudly: "My Liu family has been bleeding and sweating for the Zhu family since they beat their ancestors, and they have done their best to say that I am trying to seize property, who is not the other noble family? Why are they the only ones who only plan for my Liu family? He is not interested in my wealth, and Emperor Zhu is jealous!"

Li Lie's face suddenly changed and he shouted sternly: "Come here! Block his mouth, those who dare to resist will kill him!"

Several lieutenants quickly stepped forward, one walked behind Liu Kongzhao, poked his legs with a scabbard. Liu Kongzhao knelt on the ground, one raised his arms, and the other came closer and squeezed it with one hand. Liu Kongzhao's jaw fell off immediately, and he could no longer say anything, so he tied him up with a rope.

The prince Liu next to him had long been scared and paralyzed. The female family members of the Liu family were so scared that they cried. No other maids and servants dared to resist. Li Lie ordered not to harass his family, and then inspected everywhere, and the captains began to search the house.

The search went smoothly. There were many experts in the Jinyiwei. Not only were the valuable items on the surface, but even the valuable items hidden in the walls of various mechanisms did not fall. The silver winter melons hidden in the cellar of the Liu family were also brought up, and Liu Kongzhao and his son were covered in dust.

Li Lie smiled with the search list and said, "I have gained a lot. I have to report the good news to the commander, hahaha!" Then he sent his subordinates to escort the Liu family to the imperial prison. The searched financial affairs were sent to the palace by carriage, and he brought the list back to the Jinyiwei Office.

When he arrived at the lobby of the office, Li Lie calmed down and reported loudly: "Li Lie, a thousand households in the Xicheng of Jinyiwei, was ordered to search the Chengyi Bo Mansion. It has been completed. I will come to hand in the service!"

Luo Yangxing sat upright on a big chair in the middle of the lobby, with the Tongzhi and the Assistant.

Hearing Li Lie's report, he ordered him to come in. After Li Lie came in, he came to Luo Yangxing, knelt on one knee, and presented the list with both hands.

Luo Yangxing quickly glanced at the list after taking the list, and was stunned. Because the total amount of the checked number was found on the list in the first chapter, it was clear at a glance. Tongzhi and the assistant minister were also curious when they saw the commander's expression. Tongzhi Li Yingxi asked, "Why is the capital in surprise?"

Luo Yangxing shook his head and smiled, "This sincerity is really good at making money. Just cash in more than 200,000 taels of silver! There are more than a dozen shops in the prosperous areas, including rice shops, carriage shops, cloth shops, brothels, gambling shops, etc.! There are 15,000 hectares of fertile land under his name, and the rest of the antique calligraphy and paintings cannot be counted! You and I all add up to eleven!" {After Luo Yangxing surrendered, he was tortured by Li Zicheng, and only more than 10,000 silver was seized. With his status, it was nothing at that time}

Everyone was shocked. Although the giants of Jinyiwei have been focusing on making money in recent years, regardless of the affairs of the guards, they are all cautious and have no bad reputation. Therefore, compared with this one, Yucai in his family is a witch.

After saying that, Luo Yangxing stood up and said to everyone: "I'll go to the palace saint now. Li Lie, follow me. Once the saint asks about the investigation, you can answer it accordingly! Liu Kongzhao and others are escorted to prison later. Don't be embarrassed for them. After all, it's just that the whole family is exiled. The saint is merciless and has not been sentenced to death. Then there is no need to offend him to death!"

All the officials of the Jinyiwei nodded and said yes. Li Lie was very excited. Although he had seen the emperor from afar, he could not catch up with the saint at close range and had to return to the saint to ask questions. This was a great honor.

Luo Yangxing took Li Lie to the palace and later went to Wuying Hall. Li Erxi entered the house and reported it to him. After a while, the emperor ordered the audience to meet.

The two of them came to the hall and knelt down to salute. Li Lie heard a young voice to let them get up.

Luo Yangxing presented the imperial edict and a list with both hands, and reported: "I am following the order to search for the Zhenyi Bo Mansion. Fortunately, I am hereby submitting the edict. This is Li Lie, a thousand households in Xicheng who was assigned to the mission this time. I will bring him here to listen to the emperor's inquiry!"

Wang Chengen came over to take it, then came to Zhu Zhenqing and presented it with both hands. Chongzhen took it, put the imperial edict on the table, and took the list and watched it carefully.

After reading it, Chongzhen smiled and said, "This Liu Kongzhao is a good player in making money. I didn't expect that he would be so generous in his accumulation. Li Lie, right? Tell me about the situation at that time!"

Li Lie hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down a few steps to report. Chongzhen waved his hand to ask him to get up. After he got up, he did not dare to look at the emperor. He bowed his head and told him everything he had searched.

Chongzhen felt unhappy when he heard what Liu Kongzhao said.

He stood up, came to the case with his hands on his back, and said, "Liu Kongzhao said that his ancestors had blood and sweated for the Zhu family. Why don't he say the royal rewards their family for generations? The royal family's grace to their family for more than two hundred years is enough to repay their ancestors' merits! Besides, is the merits of his ancestors an excuse for him to seize other people's property and hurt people's lives? As an earl, what contributions did he make to the Ming Dynasty at this time when the country is in turmoil? I am dealing with him this time to remind other nobles, don't think that you can do whatever you want based on the merits of your ancestors. I can do whatever you want for the past, but if you dare to ignore the law and only seek personal gain, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Luo Yangxing and both bowed their heads and did not dare to answer.

"This time the errands of the Jinyiwei were well done. I will give you a merit. The magistrates, each of them, rewarded 500 taels of silver. Luo Yangxing and Li Lie, you two, rewarded 1,000 taels of silver. All the magistrates were given 100 taels of silver. They were given 100 taels of silver from each prisoner. The dirty silver was sold in the store under his name. The culled silver was given to the Ministry of Revenue 100,000 taels of silver. The rest were transferred to the treasury and the land was handed over to the imperial village. The Liu family was given sacking every day, so there was no delay!"
