Beiyang new warlord

"The old slave went bankrupt to scrape together the 10 taels. Where did the 20 taels come from?"

"Oh? No, right! Good! I just got a lot of good things from your Jinyiwei, come on! Serve the prince! By the way, I also serve Master Wei!"

"Old slave really doesn't have one!"

In Wang Zhixin's terrified judgment, this time it was a square clip that shackles his head and buckled his fat and fat forehead, and all the fat was squeezed out. With the shackles on his head, with the force of the four soldiers, amidst the screams, the old guy was woken up abruptly by the pain!

Howls like ghost cries echoed in this unlucky mansion for a whole night. The next day, more than a dozen large carriages came back pulling heavy boxes. Liu Zongmin was showing off in front of Li Zicheng. Opening a mouthful, all of their pupils were filled with yellow golden light.

"20 taels of silver! 1 taels of gold! It is estimated that the dead eunuch still has oil to squeeze out. As for Wei Zaode's old man, there is still a windfall, and he got another 3 taels! And this!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Liu Zongmin triumphantly pulled over a frightened official lady like a quail. How shameless Wei Zaode was, in order to survive, he dedicated his daughter as a wife to Liu Zongmin.

Forcibly hugging the girl and kissing her on the cheek, Liu Zongmin proudly showed off.

"How about it, big brother, it's no worse than the ones in your palace!"

But looking at the heavy boxes, Li Zicheng fell silent, his eyes fixed on the gold and silver, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Finally, the young lady of the Wei family was stripped of her delicate body while crying, and when Liu Zongmin was about to mount a horse with a gun, Li Zicheng suddenly let go of the hand holding his beard, and spoke in a gloomy voice.

"Wang Dehua, Gao Qiqian, Du Xun, Xu Yingyuan, Xu Gao and other eunuchs are entrusted to you! Squeeze out all their money for me!"

She was even more excited than the young lady who went to the university. She slapped Miss Wei's upturned buttocks and pushed her onto the bed. Liu Zongmin clasped her fists with great excitement.

"Look there, brother!"

This time, they simply led the troops to occupy the Imperial Prison of Jinyiwei before the Ming Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers made a fuss in the palace. All the instruments of torture were uncovered by Liu Zongmin. In the lobby, whether it was Wang Dehua, who surrendered with the Yumajian Yongwei battalion, or Xu Yingyuan, who took the initiative to welcome him inward, each of them wore a shackle weighing more than 300 kilograms, and each person was served by six wrestlers. Then, two twisters twitched hands, two clamps pinched the head, and two flail legs. The shrill screams were like ghost cries coming from hell.

Especially Wang Zhixin, the Emperor Chongzhen was already an old eunuch who was close to the eunuch when he believed in the palace. All the money that came down went into his fat mouse pocket.

At the most critical moment of the empire, he didn't pull out a hair, but now, he can't get money or life. His fat head and big ears are deformed by the shackle like a gourd, and he screams incomparably terribly.

"Grandpa Liu, 5 taels! This old slave really only has 5 taels! I don't have any more money. I beg you, please forgive me!"

"please"

Gaba~

Amidst the crisp sound of bone cracking, a stream of white slurry sprayed out from the nostrils, the eyes that had protruded like goldfish twitched and turned white suddenly, the powerful Ouchi finally twitched and lost two legs. Quan'er's thigh was no longer alive.

"died?"

He came over and kicked him, and Liu Zongmin waved his hand in a dispirited way: "Drag it on, won't he say there are still 5 taels left? Capture his nephew or something, and then torture him!"

Hearing this cruel voice, the rest of the eunuchs who were being tortured trembled violently, and their spirits completely collapsed. Wang Dehua was the first to shout loudly with tears streaming down his face.

"Master Liu! Don't hold back! This old slave is willing to dedicate all of my family property to King Chuang. I don't dare to keep even a tael of silver!"

Once again, there are a few more beautiful women around Liu Zongmin, the number one raised by this eunuch, and the eldest niece of that eunuch, playing with the new gadgets he got, and he is doing his job triumphantly.

Looking at the silver boxes, silk satins, and antique jade bottles all over the floor, Li Zicheng once again felt that his eyesight was not enough!

A mere 800 or 17 eunuchs produced [-] million taels of snowflake silver!In the [-]th year of the Chongzhen Dynasty, they worked hard to squeeze money, and they raised so many fat and big mice!

His voice trembled a little, but Li Zicheng didn't realize how terrifying the greed radiating from his one eye was. He closed the box, and he spoke gloomyly again.

"I heard that Chongzhen still has a group of imperial relatives?"

"Brother, brother understand!"

Chapter 572. Money is not life

This is the wealth that the capital should have!

Red coral trees several feet high are piled up here to form a forest, bronzes full of copper and green are thrown in a pile casually like broken copper and iron, and there are more precious blue and white flowers from Song and Yuan Dynasties. I don't know how much it was thrown on the ground, and if it is seen by those collectors who have scrambled for hundreds of millions and billions in the future, I don't know how much blood the heart should ache.

What Li Zicheng cares about the most is silver and food. The originally empty internal money is now filled with shiny silver, which has reached an astonishing 2000 million taels. It was moved from the manors of the great eunuchs and nobles near the capital. There is also hundreds of thousands of shi of grain. The mouse that was about to starve to death in Taicang, Hubu changed suddenly this time.

However, Jinyiwei's prison was almost full, except for those eunuchs, there were hundreds of former Ming honorables.

In the entire yamen, the crackling of the whip and the creaking of the splints could be heard, and the screams full of anger could no longer be heard. Everyone seemed to be dying under the torture.

Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" said that the Tianjie is full of the bones of the public, and there is no half of the richest family! It has been realized here. The huge Ping'an Square, Jixiang Square and other settlements of several noble military generals and eunuchs are everywhere. The soldiers carrying the silver and the Xungui family members who stuck grass signs, cried and sold family antiques, and even sold their sons and daughters are not rare. The once glorious capital Xungui has completely declined. .

However, the Dashun army here is quite true to their word. As long as they donate all their wealth, silver and food, they will really release them. Gui Ye finally spit out in twos and threes, and returned to his house with scars all over his body and dull eyes.

But there are still a few tough bones, or even more Grandet's miser than Grandet!

The most typical of these is Zhou Kui, the former head of state!His son-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen, begged him to help him with money, and even his daughter, Empress Zhou, brought out her own money. He swallowed a little half of it, and only donated 5000 taels twice. In front of the Chuangjun, he was so stingy It was also played to the fullest, with both hands hanging on a wooden stake, and two Liu Zongmin soldiers were waving big leather whips stained with pepper water, sweating like rain and crackling, and the two strong men who were pumping full began to pant, stepping forward. Wearing big leather boots, Liu Zongmin walked up to the old man again, and when the whip lifted his chin, he asked helplessly.

"How about it, old abbot, are you still unwilling to pay the money? If this is smoked to death, no matter how much money you have, you won't have the life to spend it!"

The Shu brocade robes worn by Songhe Yannian were beaten into beggar clothes, covered in blood, and there were not many pieces of good meat left. Fortunately, after killing Wei Zaode, a great scholar, Liu Zongmin realized this thing You can't play around, if you trap someone to death, there will be nowhere to find the money. Instead, some torture and lighter punishments will be used, otherwise this old man would have gone back to the West to find his daughter.

The weak one could hardly breathe, his hands were hanging by the shackles on his head, but his head was lifted up by Tai Tai, Zhou Kui still had a mournful face, shaking his head sadly.

"Master Jun! I am old, I really have no money"

"fart!"

A loud slap across the face drew the old guy's face aside, and Liu Zongmin yelled angrily: "You are the father-in-law of Chongzhen, and each person's annual reward for Jinhuayin is 10 taels! In 17 years, it is 170 million taels! You Jiazhuangzi is the largest near the capital! How can you have those thousands of taels of silver?"

"I really want to give up my life and not give up my money! But Xiu blames me for being cruel!"

As a negative example, the corpses of Wei Zaode and Wang Zhixin were hung directly on the wall of the Jinyiwei Prison. The protruding eyeballs stared at them, the former colleagues, in the cracked skulls, and the brains attracted The large swarm of flies and insects looked terrifying. Several young uncles were so scared to pee when they saw this scene that they donated all their wealth without torture.

But this thing didn't work in front of Zhou Kui, he was so frightened that his legs stood up and down, and a stream of urine dripped out, and the old guy yelled sadly with the same mournful face.

"Master! Even if you open the old man's head, the old man will have no money or no money! The old man Zhuangzi has a lot of people, and the expenses are high. Besides, the imperial court has been poor for a few years, and the unfilial daughter deducted the old man's annual reward first. ! I really have no savings!"

This is the first time that Liu Zongmin has met so many eunuchs and honorable eunuchs, and he is so relentless. Even Liu Zongshao, who kills without batting an eyelid, trembled with anger and anger. I fell to the ground.

"Old man, you can do it! You can do it! Come on!"

Zhou Kui was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling like a shrimp. However, Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers didn't put the Hades band on him, instead they opened the door, and brought back a few people after a while.

"Father!"

Hearing the shrill cry, Zhou Kui's eyes widened suddenly, and he also shouted in horror.

"Boss, second child, Jiang Er!"

"Hmph, old guy, you still know him, as long as you know him!"

Suddenly pulling up Zhou Kui's eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Zongmin yanked off her collar amidst a grinning laugh, revealing her white skin and red bellyband, Da Shunjun beside her Amidst the booing laughter and the woman's terrified screams, Liu Zongmin put one hand into his belly pocket and pointed at his subordinates with the other.
