The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 556

[Chapter 556: Leave no bricks behind]

The house search was still in full swing, while Fang Xiu sat aside to rest.

It has to be said that this Zhou Mansion is simply more luxurious than the Zhou Mansion owned by Mr. Zhou Ge.

Even if the ground is paved with fine white stones, the total cost is not tens of thousands of taels, but several thousand taels.

In the past, I felt extremely bored when I heard the old emperor often talk about “the people fatten the people” in front of me.

However, at this moment, looking at the mountains of treasures piled up in the middle of the yard, he couldn’t help but sigh: “These are all people’s treasures and people’s anointing, people’s fat and people’s anointing!” When

the Zhou family members next to him heard what he said, they all lowered their heads. , retreated secretly, for fear of attracting Fang Xiu’s attention.

“Sir, according to your instructions, the entire Zhou Mansion has been searched, and a total of two cellars were found. The contents were all 50,000 taels of silver!”

After a while, a captain walked quickly. He walked up to Fang Xiu, handed over a list, and said respectfully.

Fang Xiu took it and glanced hastily from top to bottom, suddenly feeling ashamed.

I still underestimated Zhou Zheng.

Unexpectedly, the treasures contained in a small Zhou Mansion were even more than the mansions he resold in the capital!

Absolutely outrageous!

How much is the daily salary of a prefect?

Even if the ancestors had some inheritance, how could they have such a rich family fortune?

These are the money saved by the people of Linze Mansion through frugality, and they all came here.

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely.

If you really want to be rich, wouldn’t it be better to open more bookstores and avoid a few restaurants like yourself?

Fang Xiu shook his head, put away the list, looked at the captain, and asked, “Is there anything else missing?” When

the captain heard this, he looked thoughtful.

After careful consideration for a moment, he dared to answer: “Report to your lord, nothing is missing!”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu slowly stood up from the chair, walked to his side, and asked: “Are you sure?”

The words had already been said. At this point, if the captain still doesn’t understand, then he is really no different from a fool.

“This”

the captain looked a little flustered and looked around, not knowing what to do.

The entire Zhou Mansion, even the tiles, had been confiscated by them. If there was anything else that I hadn’t noticed, then all that was left was the dirt on the ground.

Your Excellency, the Inspector, won’t even let go of Zhou Mansion’s soil, right?

After thinking about it, it should be more than that.

He continued to search with his eyes. When he passed by the Zhou family, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly held up his hands and said: “I understand, there are still some omissions!”

After saying that, his eyes turned to the station. The children of the Zhou family, who were feeling uneasy in the corner, stepped forward.

When Mrs. Zhou saw this scene, she suppressed her fear, stepped forward, and smiled: “My lord, what are your orders?”

The captain’s eyes swept over their bodies, and then, with a sonorous and powerful voice, The voice said: “Take off all the jade hairpins and jade pendants you are wearing and hand them over to the hands of the captain!”

“This”

The children of the Zhou family and the maids heard this and looked at each other, and they could see each other’s eyes. I saw deep shock and despair.

Not even letting this go?

They really want to refuse. After all, jade pendants and hostas are things that have been with them for a long time. They have not only their own value, but also emotional value.

However, at this moment, they no longer have any negotiation capital.

Mrs. Zhou’s wife struggled for a moment, but finally just sighed, took off the jewelry on her head, handed it to the captain standing in front of her, and said: “General, please keep it.”

The rest of the Zhou family, including those Seeing this scene, the children of the Zhou family had nothing to say and followed suit one after another.

The captain put the jewelry aside, but did not leave. Instead, he looked at the maids.

“Sir, this is a wooden hairpin.”

A little maid was a little frightened by his stare and said timidly.

“It’s just a wooden hairpin. If the general wants it, I’ll give it to you.”

Before the little maid could speak, Mrs. Zhou’s wife spoke first.

When the little maids heard this, their eyes filled with tears and they took off the hairpins one after another.

Each one of them looked like they had suffered a great deal of injustice.

If they walked out of Zhou Mansion and outsiders saw them, they would think that Fang Xiu had done something to them.

“Ahem!” Fang Xiu

on the side saw this scene and coughed twice: “There’s no need for wooden hairpins, just wear them.” When

the little maids heard this, they were startled at first, and then they looked happy and hurriedly He thanked: “Thank you, General!”

He came to search his home, but he heard “thank you”.

Fang Xiu shook his head, not knowing what to say.

The captain packed up the jewelry, but had no intention of leaving. He still stood in front of these Zhou family disciples, but his eyes were fixed on the mink furs on their bodies.

“You guys, get rid of what’s on your body.”

Before he could finish his words, Fang Xiu interrupted him: “Okay, let’s stop here for the Zhou family.”

Based on the crimes Zhou Zheng committed, these Zhou family children should also be able to escape. Regardless of the relationship, even if he is saved from death, there is a high probability that he will be exiled to the four northern states or the wasteland in the south to open up wasteland for the Chu Kingdom.

In this case, it is better to leave some clothes for them to avoid freezing to death before reaching the four northern states.

“Yes, sir!”

the captain responded, quickly walked up to him, took out a document, glanced at it, and reported: “Sir, next is the residence of the chief registrar of Linze Mansion.”

Fang Xiu He waved his hand and said: “You have learned the essence of the art of confiscating houses. You will lead people to search the next few mansions, and I will not follow.

When the time comes, make a list and submit it .

But.”

When the captain heard this, his previous fear of being blamed for doing something wrong was gone. He looked excited and said, “Yes, sir, I will do my best

even if I have to confiscate my house.

He will show his skill and style!”

“”

Fang Xiu glanced at him and didn’t know what to say.

“All the proceeds from the confiscation of the house were sent to the government office. Tell Li Jing to send heavy troops to guard and make sure nothing is lost.

Then tell him that if nothing happens, I will leave Linze Mansion tomorrow.

If anything happens to him, come as soon as possible .

Find me.”

After giving all instructions, Fang Xiu left the Zhou Mansion in the eyes of these captains and soldiers who were searching their homes for the first time.

Of course, Fang Xiu was still a little worried about letting these hot-blooded soldiers search their homes alone, so he asked Bai Xiaochun to stay as an assistant, but actually as a supervisor.

Fang Xiu was alone, riding his horse back to the inn.

However, as soon as he arrived in front of the inn, he noticed something was wrong.

Where did the blood stains come from in front of the inn?
