Chapter 110 Emperor's surname is Zhu Bu's surname Yun

After the preliminary identification, Liu Zongmin took the woman away, but a group of old thieves in Guanzhong surrounded Mu Tiantao and asked questions.

To be precise, Lantian is also a big thief nest.

Mu Tiantao was naturally infected with a lot of banditry under his influence. Whether it was talking about the story of the world with these old bandits or the customs and customs of northern Shaanxi, it was impossible for Mu Tiantao to do so.

However, most of what he said was a rumor that was quite untrue, which proved that he had not lived in Guanzhong, Lantian for a long time, but had just lived with a group of Guanzhong swordsmen who went out to make a living.

It is almost no difficulty for Mu Tiantao to deceive this group of people.

Because, what is even more difficult is to disguise yourself as an ordinary Guanzhong person in Yushan Academy.

So, half an hour later, Mu Tiantao and these men who missed Guanzhong were holding a large basin and squatting to eat noodles.

Soon, he knew that Wei Dezhau was locked in a small dark room and that the general had not yet begun to torture him.

Now it’s time to say that Cao Gong’s treasure is enough.

Mu Tiantao really wanted to go and see it, but was stopped by these kind-hearted seniors in Guanzhong.

So, he heard Wei Dezhau's tragic roar next door.

I also heard the mercy of Wei Dezhao that he wanted to present his daughter to Liu Zongmin as his concubine.

The next day, Mu Tiantao saw a naked woman like a rag doll thrown out by the big men. I heard that after enjoying it, the general gave it to the elderly guards...

Wei Dezao was also dead. When Mu Tiantao saw him, his head had been deformed. This was the sequelae left by the splint clamping of the head. He was very brave and fought for six days and six nights before the splint clamped the brain and died.

As for where the money was, he didn't say a word, including the treasure of Cao Gong that Mu Tiantao knew!

It is said that Wei Dezhau once said before his death: "If I had known that there would be the pain today, it would be better to fight Li Hongji in the capital!"

Liu Zongmin doesn't believe that the family of the dignified chief minister has no money...

So, Wei Dezao's son Wei Changying was captured.

Wei Changying said: "I really have no silver in my family. If my father is alive, he can still borrow silver from his disciples. Now that he is dead, where can I find silver?"

Perhaps seeing Wei Dezao's bravery, Liu Zongmin's guards stopped asking Wei Changying's mind, cut off Wei Changying's head with a knife, and then took a large group of soldiers to Wei Dezao's house for three days of partying.

This is a standard robbery behavior, and Mu Tiantao is very familiar with this.

If a person regards money as more important than life, for a robber, it is easier to kill him. This is the logic of the robber.

Mu Tiantao was a very knowledgeable Guanzhong person. Because he could write names and a little arithmetic, he was sent to the silver treasury to count the torn silver.

As soon as Mu Tiantao entered the silver treasury, he rushed into the pile of gold and silver, desperately putting gold and silver into his pocket.

The great men from Guanzhong who came with him laughed one by one. It took a lot of effort to capture Mu Tiantao, who was obsessed with the pile of gold and silver, searched all the silver ingots from him, and threw them back to the silver treasury.

In order to educate Mu Tiantao, he specially took him to see more than a dozen terrible corpses erected outside the silver treasury, all of which were unskinned.

The old guard who was captured by Mu Tiantao pointed to one of the skinless bodies and said to him: "This is Zhang Laosan. He stole a ingot of gold. The general asked him to take it out and spared him. He argued that he had not, and was skinned after being searched.

Boy, you can grab the money that is not in the warehouse, but whoever moves will die is the general's military order."

These skinless corpses finally dragged Mu Tiantao back from his obsession with gold and silver.

He also pleaded with this familiar guard that when he was in trouble every day, remember to search for his body so that he would not be obsessed with gold and silver, and finally be taken to the general to skin it.

Mu Tiantao’s job is to weigh the money.

Sometimes I still feel stunned...there are too much gold and silver...

When he tortured the nobles, he had already realized that the capital city was very rich, but he never expected that it would be so rich - 70 million taels!

If the Ming Dynasty had 70 million taels of silver, it would be impossible for the country to be destroyed so quickly.

If there were 70 million taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor would not have collapsed in Shouning Palace.

The property records are very clear. Among them, the families of kings, princes and nobles contributed 34 to 10,000 civil and military officials and great merchants contributed 34 to 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Mu Tiantao didn't care much about the fall of the Ming Dynasty. After all, when he was studying in Yushan, countless gentlemen had already studied the Ming Dynasty thoroughly, and they were destined to perish.

With these 70 million taels of silver, I can only survive for a while.

Mr. Gu Yanwu once said in class: Change of surnames and names is called the destruction of the country, benevolence and righteousness are abundant, but leading animals to eat people is called the destruction of the world!

What Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers did was nothing more than the destruction of the country.

At present, the torture matters that Li Hongji sent Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and Li Mou were to lead animals to eat people and destroy the world.

A person who has read books and who has learned to think normally will soon be able to see the impact of these things on the future through the development of his or her state of affairs.

Therefore, Mu Tiantao can be seen through what Li Hongji, Niu Jinxing, and Liu Zongmin are doing. Li Hongji and others have no ambition to swallow the world.

Yun Zhao is different.

In Lantian, some people are afraid of Xie Zhi, some are afraid of Hanling Mountain, some are afraid of money, and some are afraid of Yun Yang, but no one is afraid of Yun Zhao!

Even those who commit crimes regard Yun Zhao as their last savior, hoping to obtain Yun Zhao's pardon through confession, atonement and other acts.

Some people have really been forgiven... However, the vast majority still die.

Whether they survived or were executed, they did not blame Yun Zhao. They felt that the man had done his best. After all, every time he pardoned a criminal, Yun Zhao would be criticized for a long time.

Yun Zhao is a harmless person, which is a conclusion made by everyone in Lantian and even Guanzhong.

At the same time, Yun Zhao is the protector of everyone, which is also a consensus among the people of Guanzhong.

As long as Yun Zhao is leisurely wandering around Yushan City every day and chatting with others, the people of Guanzhong feel that nothing big has happened in the world. Even if Li Hongji conquered the capital and Zhang Bingzhong fled into the mountains, it is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the people of Guanzhong.

Many people on the silver account stay in Yushan City every day to watch Yun Zhao go out. As long as they see Yun Zhao still, the exchange rate of the silver account tomorrow's silver dollar and silver coins will continue to remain stable.

Guanzhong is now extremely empty.

There are only some new recruits in the Fenghuang Mountain military camp. The only force that can be relied on in all the cities in Guanzhong is the constable and tax collector.

The person responsible for guarding the city is a group training in the surrounding countryside.

However, even so, the whole of Guanzhong is still calm and the people have learned how to manage themselves.

The tax collector in the market still closed his eyes and was dozing on the chair under a large umbrella. Only when the copper coins fell into the bamboo basket would his ears move. As long as there was a slight difference in the silver coins, his eyes would open immediately, staring at the guy who paid the zero-hour tax.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Maodi felt cold.

He was a county magistrate, once in charge of Hancheng County, and he was also a censor. He once ran all over the country with his own legs.

Such a person can see whether the place is safe and prosperous. Just look at the bamboo baskets around the tax collector will be enough for him.

Since they stepped into the Henan territory, they have been warmly welcomed by officials from Lantian Station. They are not only very considerate in terms of food, accommodation, carriages and horses, but even the courtesy is first-class.

This treatment made Zuo Maodi's deputy envoy Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu a little flattered.

Henan, which has been ravaged by bandits for a long time, is now slowly recovering. It was already spring when they came, and the many cattle and horses in the fields were farming driven by farmers.

The number of cattle and horses is the only one seen by Zuo Maodi and others.

Their group gradually walked into the prosperous land from desolation, and the prosperity of the prosperous land seemed to have no end. When they found that Kaifeng City began to renovate the city and countless people were quite moved to repair the river channel on the river embankment, the stable Luoyang had already entered their eyes.

When they thought Luoyang had begun to survive, they saw the bustling crowd of people in Tongguan.

Tongguan is no less prosperous than Nanjing, which has just expelled the White Lotus Sect. This is Chen Hongfan's feelings.

Zuo Maodi knew deeply that Tongguan was just the most remote pass in Guanzhong, and its military significance here was greater than people's livelihood.

When the messenger brigade enters Tongguan, the world becomes another world.

Not only are the scenery different, but even people are completely different from those outside the pass.

People inside the pass are generally more imposing than those outside the pass.

Even ordinary people who were promoted to fight, did not show any humility when they saw their team, which was obviously officials.

Zuo Maodi likes to talk to farmers and vendors very much.

They had a very pleasant conversation, but after the farmers and vendors left, the dark clouds on Zuo Maodi's face seemed to drip out of water.

"Zhong and brother, why are you sad?"

Standing at the Chang'an market, Zuo Maodi felt it was difficult to take a breath. However, Chen Hongfan, who likes to talk, felt a little dissatisfied. He believed that even if there was no good result in this interview with Yun Zhao, he would be able to escape unscathed.

"It is impossible to cut the river and cure it!"

Zuo Maodi saw a child who was obviously a school child scolding an old farmer who was spitting everywhere. Seeing the school child bringing a handful of soil to cover the thick phlegm, he sighed.

Chen Hongfan hesitated and said, "Lantian is not bad, they are still using my Ming Dynasty name."

Zuo Maodi glared at Chen Hongfan and said, "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was surnamed Zhu, but not Yun!"
