This wall runs through the entire inside and outside of the main hall, and it can be regarded as a main load-bearing wall. The only special thing is that there are two thick wooden beams on the top of this main wall.

It is very asymmetrical with the one on the left, which makes Li Mu feel very awkward. When he entered the main hall just now, he also found that the wall on the right is also very thick, which is obviously more than one-third thicker than the one on the left.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the wall on the right and told Baihu: "Go, smash that wall down for me."

"Follow the order." Knowing that Li Mu was bored, the hundred households of Jinyiwei did not dare to stop, and after receiving the order, they went down and called for someone to smash the wall.

And Li Mu sat leisurely on the grand teacher's chair, picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and said flatly: "Little boy, you are still young when you are fighting with me."

Not long after, more than a dozen Jinyiwei captains walked into the main hall with sledgehammers and picks and shovels, and at Li Mu's order, they smashed hard at the wall on the right.

Li Mu moved to a quiet courtyard, waiting for news, lest the dust splashed by the wall stain his flying fish suit.

Chapter 1 Thirteen: Life and death are determined by one word (thanks to the hall master!)

Just as Li Mu expected.

Not long after, a school captain ran into the other courtyard with a happy face and reported to Li Mu: "My lord, we have found the Fan family's hidden bank."

"Really?" Li Mu asked in surprise.

"Yes, my lord. As your lord pointed out, the Fan family's hidden silver is hidden in the right wall of the main hall. Just as the humble rank smashed a corner, they found a large amount of cash." The captain reported truthfully.

"Okay, take me to have a look." Li Mu waved his hand happily, and stepped forward. How can I say this time, the raid on the house was a great success.

Arriving at the main hall where he had just left, a corner of the right wall had been smashed open, revealing the true face inside, and the captain of Jin Yiwei who was present all stopped.

After waiting for Li Mu to take a look, he began to break down the entire wall.

Seeing Li Mu's arrival, Jinyiwei Baihu took a step forward and said respectfully, "My lord..."

Li Mu, who put all his heart on the hidden silver, paid attention to the hundreds of households who came up to him, and took a look at the wall where the silver was exposed. Every piece of silver inside was as big as a piece of ordinary brick.

Neat yards are placed inside the real wall.

After seeing that it was indeed silver, Li Mu ordered to the hundreds of households around him: "Smash it, smash the entire wall to me, and count the amount of Tibetan silver inside."

"Follow your orders!"

Following Li Mu's order, more than a dozen Jinyiwei captains rounded up the things in their hands and began to destroy the entire wall.

Otherwise, the large number of people is not only powerful, but also the work efficiency is very fast. In an hour, all the cash was cleared from the wall.

Since there is a specific mark on each silver brick, soon after an hour, all the silver bricks were roughly calculated and then packed into boxes and sealed.

After seeing all the cash sealed up, Jin Yiwei's hundreds of households did not stop for a moment, and reported to Li Mu who was waiting for news in the other garden: "My lord, all the cash was sealed in boxes, and the humble staff found a total of 500 million yuan from the wall. Taels of silver and 50 taels of gold."

Laughed, Li Mu finally burst out laughing when he heard the content of Baihu's report.

In other words, including the cash that was searched before, the Fan family found a total of 2000 million taels of silver and 60 taels of gold.

I also had to be shocked by the wealth of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and feel the embarrassment of the Ming court. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the household department was so difficult that it couldn't even afford the military salary of several 10 taels.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of hiding wealth from the people, Li Mu really wanted to copy all the merchants in the Ming Dynasty and try to see how much wealth he could copy.

After all, it is recorded in history that during the Ming Dynasty, it was the most frequent period when foreign silver flowed into the Central Plains.

Especially in the Wa Kingdom during the Ming Dynasty, almost all the silver flowed to Daming.

Now Li Mu has the urge to smash open every wall of the Fan family's old house, to see if there are treasures such as silver hidden inside.

In the end, after thinking about it, I gave up this unrealistic idea. The Shanxi merchant Fan family is a family that has been rich for centuries, and this 2000 million taels of silver plus 60 taels of gold.

It should already be the cash reserves of Shanxi merchant Fan's family. After all, the merchant's family is mainly engaged in business, and it is impossible to dig a hole to bury all the money like this.

And there is an old saying in China, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

The Fan family's ten thousand volumes of ancient books and more than ten thousand pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings are also a considerable fortune, which must have been obtained from constant tampering outside for a hundred years.

Without more than a hundred years, a wealthy family cannot collect so many ancient relics.

Now everything belongs to Li Mu.

Li Mu became very happy when he thought that besides the Fan family, there were seven other Shanxi merchants in Shanxi who were arrested and seized at the same time.

In order to prevent the other seven Shanxi merchants from encountering the same situation as the Fan family during the search, and causing him to lose a fortune, Li Mu hurriedly gave instructions to the hundreds of households around him.

"Pass down the order of this seat, the other seven Shanxi merchants must be carefully inspected, and no corner should be missed, so as to avoid the situation like the Fan family from happening again."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu thought about it again, fearing that those Jin Yiwei would not know what to do and broke all the furniture, and then ordered: "Tell them, don't break other things, even if you break a chair, I will be severely punished."

For Li Mu, those furniture are all money, and it hurts to say that it is broken.

"I take orders from a lowly position." Jinyiwei's hundreds of households bowed respectfully, turned around and was about to go down to order a school captain, and quickly notify the Jinyiwei who searched the other seven Shanxi merchants.

Please obey the command order and do not damage any items.

"That's right." Li Mu stopped the Jinyiwei Baihu, and continued to order: "Order, all the silver seized is ready to be loaded and transported back to the capital, and the remaining valuables are temporarily sealed and piled up in the main hall searched by each team. .”

Baiyin Li Mu can be transported back to the capital, sent to the palace to fill the inner palace, and other things, he will bring back to the original plane.

After finishing the order, Li Mu thought of the ordinary Jinyiwei who was in charge of the search. As the boss, even though he was the commander of Jinyiwei's immediate superior, he couldn't live alone like this.

So he ordered the hundred households who were still obeying orders: "Take out some taels of silver from the seized cash. Regardless of the size of the official position, except for the Yingwei staff, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Remember not to deduct the silver taels of subordinates. "

"Thank you Commander for the reward!" Hearing that there was an additional reward, Jin Yiwei Baihu was overjoyed, and his face showed joy.

Seeing the happy faces of Jinyiwei Baihu, Li Mu couldn't help pouring cold water on his face: "Tell the following, since you have received the reward, keep your hands clean for me. If someone is found to have taken the confiscated cash , Nanzhen Fusi is very free."

The hundred households of Jinyiwei, who were full of joy just now, immediately calmed down when they heard what Li Mu said about the Nanzhen Fusi who was in charge of Jinyiwei's legal and military discipline.

Immediately bowed and said respectfully: "I don't dare to be lowly, but I must obey the order of the commander and envoy."

"Okay." Seeing that the big stick was smashed hard enough, Li Mu stepped forward and patted the Baihu on the shoulder, and said in relief: "As long as I am here, Jinyiwei will have plenty of money for you to earn in the future. I will play the Empress Dowager at the meeting, and I will give a price increase to all the colleagues in Jin Yiwei."

"All the brothers in Jinyiwei, thank you Commander for your mercy." The hundred households of Jinyiwei felt the strength of Li Mu's palm, and thanked them very moved.

"Go." Li Mu waved his hand, ordering the touched hundred households to inform them of his order just now.

"Resign from the humble position." Jin Yiwei's hundreds of households were so moved that they almost wiped their tears, but fortunately held back in time.

.....

Looking at the other courtyard with no one there, Li Mu called out the system: "The system records the coordinates."

Just listen to the cold mechanical sound of the system: "The coordinates have been recorded, the fee: [-] smuggled coins, the fee has been deducted."

After recording the coordinates, Li Mu left the other courtyard and headed towards the front courtyard, where there were still a group of criminals waiting for him to deal with.
