Super Smuggling System

That's just a thought.

Finding a chair for the old lady to sit down is just to let the other party enjoy the last leisure, so that there will not be too many regrets in life.

With the support of the two maidservants of the Fan family, the old woman slowly sat on the chair, looked at Li Mu with cloudy eyes, and said.

"I don't know what crime my Fan family has committed, this Lord Jinyiwei from the capital. As for letting your group of Jinyiwei's men break into the door overnight, it really makes my Fan family feel uncomfortable."

"My Fan family has an old relationship with several senior officials in the capital, so I can explain it to my lord a few times. Even if I can't explain the innocence of the Fan family to my lord, the Fan family does know a few father-in-laws in the palace."

The old woman sitting on the chair spoke plainly, but she also revealed the courage of her youth.

On the other hand, Li Mu smiled. He didn't expect to ransack a house and wipe it out. It was the first time in his life that an old woman threatened him calmly in this way.

Looking at the members of the Fan family who had become agitated because of the old woman's words, although they were still kneeling on the ground, there was a glimmer of hope for a reversal in their eyes.

After all, in the knowledge of these Fan family members, the current Jinyiwei is no better than before. Not to mention, the eunuch of Dongchang they know is overwhelming Jinyiwei.

As long as the father-in-law of Dongchang said a few words, these Jinyiwei would not immediately retreat, it was nothing more than asking the Fan family to spend some money. Has the Fan family spent a lot of bribes on the court in recent years?

In the eyes of the Fan family, silver can be used to communicate with gods.

Thinking of the members of the Fan family here, although they are still kneeling on the ground, they are no longer afraid of the Jinyiwei around them, as if all the rich life has come back, some people who are numb from their knees dare to move their bodies and change their positions.

Chapter 2 Twelve

Li Mu, who had a panoramic view of all the changes, smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, put the knife on the old woman's neck, and said lightly: "I don't care what old things your Fan family has in the capital. I just want to clean up your Fan family, and when I return to the capital, I will be in the mood to clean up your old Fan family. mianhuatang.la "

"Tell me if the Fan family still has Tibetan silver?"

The sudden change caused the Fan family members who were kneeling on the ground to cut off all the glimmer of hope that had appeared under Li Mu's horizontal knife.

His eyes turned gray again, and he lowered his head, not daring to be presumptuous, looking at the ground paved with bluestone slabs.

The old woman sitting on the chair glanced at Heng Dao, her face was as usual, she closed her eyes slightly, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and said calmly: "I don't know what the lord is asking, but I only know that the brocade guard under the lord broke into the old house of the Fan family."

Gently twisting the beads, the old woman slowly raised her eyes, looked into Li Mu's eyes and said, "Although my lord can kill the 170 or six people in the old house of the Fan family, he can't stop the mouths of all the people in the world."

Hearing what the old woman said, Li Mu smiled instead of anger, and shook his head.

I don't know what's going on in this world, there will always be many people who think they are reasonable, and if they want to kill him for their reasoning, they will be cast aside by everyone in the world.

This kind of person is very likely to think that he represents everyone's opinion.

Put yourself on the commanding heights of morality, and let the person who originally represented justice doubt in his heart whether what he did was wrong, whether he shouldn't do it.

And in the end, he was so suspicious that he put down the only weapon of self-defense in his hand, and stood on the other side to deal with the so-called evil.

Ordinary people don't know that justice and evil are often opposites, and evil will always let itself stand on the commanding heights of morality.

But justice holds a blood-stained steel knife in his hand to guard the cleanest place in the deepest heart of ordinary people.

Remember that when you encounter this kind of person who is used to standing on the moral high ground, it is best to stay away. There is really no way, or you should not provoke them. If you provoke them, find a way to make yourself stand on the moral high ground. (www.MianHuaTang.la cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

Because you don't stand on the moral high ground, the other party will sacrifice you to prove that his point of view is the most correct when necessary.

Thinking of this, Li Mu burst out laughing, not understanding why people sometimes like to be self-righteous, and when faced with death threats, they have to behave righteously.

It seemed that his death was a kind of framing, a kind of persecution by someone with a heart. Li Mu didn't believe that the old woman in front of him would not know what business the Fan family was doing behind the scenes.

From the conversation just now, the calm language and calm emotions, even when she was sitting down on the chair with the help of the maidservant, she seemed so typical of everyone.

Li Mu could judge that this old lady must have been in charge of the Fan family's business when she was young.

She was a woman who could determine the direction of the Fan family when she was young.

Even though this old woman is old, she still has a respected status among the Fan family members. You can tell from the eyes of the people kneeling on the ground looking at the old woman.

Li Mu squinted his eyes, looked at the old woman who closed her eyes, and said without a trace of emotion: "Is the head of the Fan family called Fan Yongdou?"

"Yongdou is the eldest son of the old man, and he is in charge of the head of the Fan family." The old woman still lowered her eyes, twisting the beads with both hands.

"Okay, old lady, I will tell you what kind of big mistake the Fan family made." Li Mu gritted his teeth, and slowly revealed everything that followed.

"Shanxi Shanxi Jin merchant Fan's Yongdou, a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, as a Han Miao, took advantage of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchen, disregarding the interests of the Ming Dynasty, only paying attention to the promises made by the Jurchen to him, disregarding the success or failure of the Liaodong War, and only caring about it. For the family's self-interest, they forget the righteousness for small profits, and dare to violate the strict prohibition of the court and smuggle a large amount of prohibited materials for the Jurchens."

Li Mu, who paused, looked at the old woman who was obviously emotionally fluctuating, and said with a sneer: "The Fan family of Shanxi merchants really played a businessman's mercenary pursuit to the extreme, even disregarding the imperial court's ban."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu retracted the horizontal knife, put it back into the scabbard, stepped over the chair where the old woman was sitting, and said with his back to the old woman.

"To sum up, I can punish the nine clans of the Fan family of the Jin merchants in accordance with the Ming Law, not to mention the Jin Yiwei, who is in charge of life and death, should clear up cancer like you for the court."

Not wanting to talk nonsense with the old lady anymore, Li Mu walked into the courtyard after speaking. Since the old lady didn't want to reveal the Fan family's hidden silver, he didn't want to press him personally either.

For personally interrogating an old woman in the Fan family who betrayed the state, he would only feel that his hands were dirty,

In this way, I had no choice but to search for it myself, and it was all a treasure hunt mission to change my mood.

After Li Mu left, the old woman sitting on the chair closed her eyes and said sadly: "My son, I made a big mistake, but I can't help it. The Fan family will not exist in the world. I only hope that the Bodhisattva will be here." There is a spirit in heaven that can protect my son from this disaster and leave a bloodline for my Fan family in this world."

As she said that, the old woman held a Buddhist bead and said respectfully: "Faithful ones, Mrs. Fan Liu is here to pay respects to the Bodhisattva."

After paying her respects to the Bodhisattva, the old woman sat upright on the chair, two tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she held the beads in her thin hands and placed them in front of her body.

.....

At this time, Li Mu, accompanied by a hundred households of Jin Yiwei, was inspecting the entire Fan family's old house, checking if there were any omissions, and there might be negligence.

After walking around all the courtyards, Li Mu had to feel that only a century-old rich family has such a rich heritage.

When the Shanxi Merchants Fan's old house was being built, every other courtyard was unique.

Even the carving of a hollow window is extremely fine.

Not to mention, the treasured ancient books, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even the furniture used in daily life are all made of precious wood. Judging from Li Mu's vision, most of the wood used is small-leaf red sandalwood.

Regarding the small-leaf red sandalwood wood produced in Nanyang, there is a saying that during the Ming Dynasty, the small-leaf red sandalwood was completely mined and disappeared, and even the wood used in the later Qing Dynasty was left over from the Ming Dynasty.

From the extensive use of small-leaf red sandalwood in the old house of the Fan family, it can be seen how much the wealthy households in the Ming Dynasty loved this small-leaf red sandalwood.

After turning around, the tired Li Mu sat in the main hall, frowning in distress. The inspection just now found nothing.

The 500 million taels of cash hidden in the cellar was taken out last night and sealed in boxes.

"Could it be that the Fan family really only has this family background?" Unable to figure it out, Li Mu took the teacup offered by the hundred households, sat on the grand master's chair and muttered to himself.

"My lord, why don't you go and try the members of the Fan family?" As a good subordinate, Baihu still understands very well, what is Shangguan's distress is his distress.

Hearing that Baihu brought up the interrogation of the members of the Fan family, Li Mu waved his hands, denying the idea, and fixed his eyes on the wall on the right side of the main hall.
