Chapter 63 The knife that kills without blood
Chapter 63: Killing without blood
In front of Sun Chuanting was his favorite Yellow River red carp, and his favorite Fenjiu was in the blue and white big belly wine pot.
On the desk is a delicate landscape ink made of more than ten materials such as tung fume, musk, borneol, gold foil, pearl powder, etc.
There is a row of top-quality lake pens made of "Pick one of tens of millions of hairs" hanging on the pen holder.
As for the spread of golden cloud paper, dragon pattern Xuan, and Duan inkstone that was still shining under the dark light, Sun Chuanting felt a little painful.
The cute and silly daughter Da Xia Tianli was unwilling to take off her white fox fur. She sang and danced around him, which made Sun Chuanting want to beat her up.
The golden steps on the old wife's hair shone brightly, and the navy blue forehead was inlaid with large pearls. The gorgeous dress made of Shu brocade actually made the old and debilitated wife have a bit more charm...
Fenjiu poured out of the kettle and pulled the clear wine line, falling into the wine glass and oozed delicate hops. The fragrant aroma spreaded immediately. Sniffing it made Sun Chuanting heartbroken.
"Husband, try this Yellow River red carp was prepared by the old shopkeeper of Chang'anzhai in the kitchen. It is said that this red carp was transported alive from the Hukou place. They were all big carp that jumped over the dragon gate, and they were about to become dragons. It was the most beneficial thing to make this dish before the red carp was about to become dragons and was about to become dragons.
The old shopkeeper also specially added the red peppers specialized in Lantian County, which tasted a lot more than the carp you used to eat."
Sun Chuanting ate a bite of the fish belly that his wife had put on his expressionless face, and the smell was like chewing wax.
"Not as good as what you did yourself."
Sun Chuanting commented casually and made his wife laugh. He approached Sun Chuanting and wanted to be intimate. When he saw his daughter being annoyed, he drove her out.
When the daughter went out, Sun Chuanting slowly stood up, walked through her study, stroked the smooth sandalwood chair and said, "Are these valuable?"
The wife smiled and said, "I spent a total of 200 taels of silver and a whole set of household items."
Sun Chuanting said with a gloomy face: "As far as I know, I can't buy this set of six sandalwood chairs for 200 taels of silver."
The wife laughed and held her husband's arm and said, "Do you think this is what I took from bribes?"
Sun Chuanting said: "Apart from that, I can't think of any other means you can use 200 taels of silver to get this set of houses!"
His wife, Liu, leaned proudly on Sun Chuanting and said, "Do you know this dead eunuch Zhang Yunhan?"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "This is a bad thief!"
Liu laughed and said, "He was searched by His Majesty!"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "At this time, my husband knew that because of the excessive corruption, it was impeached by the censors in Nanjing. It is said that the evidence is conclusive."
Liu said, "It's not the evidence. When he was raided in Xi'an, I watched it with my own eyes. Countless good things were carried out from the mansion like flowing water. It is said that there were more than 70,000 taels of gold and silver alone."
Sun Chuanting snorted, pointed to the good things in the room and said to his wife, "Aren't you afraid that one day when we are searched, these good things will be carried out by someone else?"
Liu pinched Sun Chuanting and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who is tempted by money? Everything in our family comes from clearly and there is no shame in anything.
Most of the good things in your room were obtained by me when I was auctioning Zhang Yunhan’s wealth. The one who presided over the auction was the great companion around His Majesty, who was Wang Chengen!”
"Wait, what is an auction?" Sun Chuanting was a little confused when he heard it. He knew that Wang Chengen came to Shaanxi. This was also the reason why he hurried back to Xi'an. He just couldn't understand the auction mentioned by his wife.
"The auction is to put out all the good things from Zhang Yunhan's family, and then call out all the rich and officials in Xi'an city. One person holds a small wooden hammer and hammer. Every time he takes out a good thing and put it on the table, he first shouts out the price, and then asks the rich family below to shout out the price from the official family. As long as the price is higher than the price, it will be done. In the end, the higher one will get it!
You haven't seen it. Everyone present went crazy. The sweat on the head of the big shopkeeper Yun who helped to hit the wooden pounding was like raining... Hahaha... However, I called out a few high prices, and no one followed me afterwards, so the good thing entered our house.
Wang Daban also praised me for having a good vision, and the time to do it was right."
Liu became more and more proud of her husband's darker face at all. He continued to say proudly: "Husband, do you know? Wang Daban said that the auction method of Xi'an Prefecture is good, and it turns all the dead objects that are useless to His Majesty into useful silver.
He also said that this auction has achieved good results, and he would advise His Majesty and use this example to handle it when he catches corrupt officials in the future.
So, the things in our house are sold to our house by His Majesty, and the origin is clear and there is no place for people to gossip.
Not to mention our family, even the Transshipment Authority, the Government, and the Qin Prince's Mansion have bought a lot of them. I am inconspicuous among a group of noble people.”
Sun Chuanting sighed, sat back on the chair, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, but felt it was extremely bitter. He never expected that Yun could control the Nanjing Censor thousands of miles away, remove the authority of the eunuch in charge of Xi'an Prefecture, and use the eunuch's family wealth to make good friends with most of the officials in Shaanxi.
Although he had never seen the auction house, with Sun Chuanting's wisdom, he could easily imagine the scene at that time. When the princess shouted, the rest of the people kept silent tacitly shut up and got the property at an extremely low price. When the governor and the wife of the transferee, including the wife of the governor, the rest of the people would also shut up tacitly.
This is why you can buy this set of sandalwood furniture for just 200 taels of silver.
As for Wang Chengen, he must be satisfied, because in addition to gold and silver, he can also use these good things to raise more gold and silver for the emperor. No matter how the price is, it is a good thing for the emperor, because no matter how good things are, they are not as important as gold and silver in the eyes of the emperor!
The reserve price of all items is probably a decomposition number of the total number of gold and silver requested by Wang Cheng'en. In other words, this is a grand event to openly divide Zhang Yunhan's wealth. Everyone is participant, and none of them are neglected.
"This is the method..."
Sun Chuanting took another bite of the Yellow River Red Carp, and finally a trace of salt in his mouth. Soon, various tastes came one after another, and the fresh aroma of the fish continued to impact the taste buds. Before he knew it, he ate only a beautiful skeleton of a Yellow River Red Carp weighing three pounds.
What the wife did was unable to pick out any flaws from the legal principles. That is why Yun's method of making spring breeze and rain made Sun Chuanting feel deeply frightened.
After eating a fish and drinking a pot of wine, Sun Chuanting said to his wife: "Come on, let's arrange it, I will go to Yushan to visit Yun's family in person."
When Liu heard her husband say this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, OK, June is the best time for the scenery of Yushan Mountain. The foot of Yushan is much cooler than in the city. Husband is just a while to rest, don't worry about those headache-inducing official duties."
Sun Chuanting rinsed his mouth with tea, then swallowed it and nodded, "It should not take long, just three days.
I think the pig shouldn't be able to escape this time, he must come to see me!"
Liu's eyes were smiling curved.
"This time this little pig cannot escape."
Just as Sun Chuanting was overwhelmed by family affairs, Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng completed the work of the middle-aged man's family. After receiving the wages, they continued to go deep into Lantian County with a sickle on their backs.
Zhang Guofeng kept looking back at the ordinary village in the distance, and seemed to be very nostalgic.
"Did you really want to become someone else's son-in-law?" Li Dingguo was a little angry for no reason.
Zhang Guofeng said: "If it weren't for you, I might have stayed. Although there were a few white pockmarks on that girl's face, she was the simplest woman I've ever seen. It would be fake to say she was not moved."
Li Dingguo said angrily: "Have you ever been fewer women in these years?"
Zhang Guofeng said: "What does your wife have to do with a woman?"
"You--" Li Dingguo was so choked by Zhang Guofeng's words that he couldn't speak.
"However, it's you, not me," Zhang Guofeng felt a little sad.
Li Dingguo curled his lips and said, "It's all my business. If you like it, we will go to their house tonight. You can do whatever you want!"
Zhang Guofeng looked around and saw the land was flat and the houses were swaying, with beautiful fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo, and the traffic of fields, chickens and dogs heard each other, yellow hair and drooping, and happy...
He lowered his head and said with a little inferiority: "In such a place, let alone these shameful words, even if I like that woman, I just want to send a matchmaker to come to the door with a gift to propose marriage. If it fails once, it will be twice or three times.
Instead of taking advantage of the darkness, I touched in the middle of the night and killed the other person's parents, and then slept with the girl..."
