In the main hall of Zonghengquan's former sect, Dugu Mo sat upright, while Bao Lao and several subordinates waited on his side.
Several masters came to the entrance of the hall with several stacks of booklets in their hands, and the leader bowed to ask for instructions: "Report to His Highness Prince Mo, the accounts of the seized property of the Zonghengquan clan have been settled."
Dugu Mo beckoned them in, and the masters put the booklet on the table.
The master picked up the ledger and reported them one by one in a soft voice: "Thirty-seven real estate title deeds, about 4.3 million taels of silver; One thousand three hundred and sixty-eight pieces of valuable furniture, worth three hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver; two hundred and sixty-five pieces of servants’ deeds of selling themselves, worth half a thousand taels of silver... confiscated assets, a total of three hundred and six million two hundred and seventy-nine taels!"
Dugu Mo nodded: "Well, have you checked everything carefully? Has someone interfered with the investigation?"
"Back to Your Royal Highness, we guarantee with our heads that we dare not hide anything." Several masters knelt down and declared their will.
This was the first major event that Prince Mo did as His Highness. These masters have just come under his command, and they still don't know the details, how dare they make the slightest fake
The officers and soldiers in the search are also strict in system, although they are small and cheap. For example, he boldly touched some scattered silver, but he was determined not to take the big things. During the entire process of ransacking the house, Dugu Mo also paid attention to instructing his subordinates to be strict in doing things at any time, and not to be greedy.
Even Old Leopard expressed his admiration for Prince Mo's rigor. I feel that it is really rare for such a young son to restrain his subordinates so strictly.
Dugu Mo was satisfied with the results of the inspection, and asked the masters to immediately compile a single account and prepare to report it to the court.
"Come on, let's go and see that Zhou Zhiruo." Dugu Mo happily led Bao Lao, and the two wandered to see the beautiful woman.
Before approaching the detention point, I heard many women crying.
This is the weeping of Zonghengquan Huo family's female relatives in the detention center.
Zonghengquan entire family. Men were beheaded regardless of their age. Don't say it's the pain of losing a loved one, just being scared is enough for the female relatives to cry.
In fact, the reason why the woman was able to do so was because of Dugu Mo's extrajudicial kindness, and he helped to express a favor.
Because Dugu Mo was raised independently by the mother of Sanshengzong, and he treated her very well since he was a child. He has no sympathy for men.
The place where these female relatives were held was only an original courtyard, not a big prison. Six people were locked in one room, and the detention conditions were not too bad.
Prisoners have historically had no human rights. Regardless of whether you have left the cabinet or not, except for some women designated by those in power who dare not move, most of them will become soldiers' playthings. But this time, Dugu Mo's guards were extra careful, and the soldiers were strictly forbidden to make mistakes, which was already a blessing for these female relatives. "Where was that Zhou Zhiruo imprisoned?" Dugu Mo asked.
The lieutenant in charge bowed and saluted: "Go back to His Royal Highness, please let Rong Xiao lead the way."
He led Dugu Mo and Bao Lao to a corridor facing all the women's detention points.
This location is a corridor that can give an overview of all detention points. Dugu Mo and Bao Lao could be seen from a distance. A young girl walked leisurely among them.
"She's actually locked up here?" Elder Leopard felt strange: "Why does it seem like she's a watchman?"
Although this is one of the detention points, this small corridor is a breeze corridor. There are only front and rear aisles, with windows in the middle, allowing people to move freely and have a wide field of vision. There were only two guards squatting one behind the other.
"This..." the lieutenant was a little embarrassed: "The detention was only for more than a day, but she has already mentioned five suicides."
Old Leopard asked in surprise, "Suicide? Those female relatives?"
Dugu Mo listened with interest.
"Returning to the saints, that's right." The lieutenant said cautiously: "Women who committed crimes often commit suicide after becoming criminal wives. It is impossible to guard against. It is easier to attract a large number of followers and cause losses in house raids."...
Prisoners are a source of family raids. It can be sold for a fortune.
In particular, women who have been married out of the court can be sold to official kilns to make fun of them. There are particularly good qualifications, and many brothels take the initiative to buy them. In the past, women who have not left the cabinet can also conduct similar transactions, but this time, Dugu Mo is kind, just presupposing that the yellow-flowered girl can be punished as a slave, and she does not have to be forced to make a living by selling herself.
Even so announced. There are still many women who cannot accept this reality. A few days ago, she was a noble lady, so why did she become a criminal? A few days ago, she was still a young lady, how could she become a slave
When the house was searched, some women who had left the court were also groped a few times by the officers and soldiers. The proportion is appropriate. The prisoners did not dare to say anything, and the officers and soldiers also knew how to measure and did not dare to go too far.
But there are still many female relatives, looking for an opportunity to put the silk belt on the beam, they will hang themselves from the beam.
"She is a fortune-telling fortune teller?" Elder Leopard asked curiously, "How do you know that others are going to commit suicide?"
The lieutenant replied: "I don't know about the little ones. It's just that every woman wants to commit suicide, she always calls us. Either it's half a cup of tea in advance, or it's just a few breaths at the beginning, and it's finally able to save people. .We simply let her help take care here."
Old Leopard asked in surprise, "Every word must hit the mark?"
"We didn't believe it at first, but later we became more and more convinced." The lieutenant quickly explained, and even the guard soldiers who followed him kept nodding: "We will pay more attention when she says that someone will die in the house." She asked to observe the girls better, and the younger one saw that she didn't have any martial arts skills, so she boldly bet on the corridor."
Old Leopard looked at Dugu Mo, who smiled and said, "It seems that we didn't come in vain, this Zhou Zhiruo is more interesting than expected."
After the lieutenant opened the newly added locked door in the corridor, he stood respectfully with his hands tied.
Dugu Mo and Bao Lao walked in.
When the two of them saw the girl's back, they already praised in their hearts: She is definitely a first-rate beauty! How can Penghu, a small place full of water, have such beauties
I saw the woman wearing a green dress, blue-soled cloth shoes wrapped in white socks, her waist was tall and straight, her curves were exquisite, her skin was like snow, and her black silk was like Daisy. No need to look at her appearance, it would make any man's eyes shine.
"May I ask, but Miss Zhou Zhiruo?" Dugu Mo politely cupped his hands.
The girl turned around briskly, a charming charm emanated naturally, and even looked back like water with a slight smile, which made Old Leopard's heart skip a beat.
Just listening to the girl's vermilion lips parting slightly, her voice with a touch of Penghu local accent is soft and sweet, and her delicate appearance is even more icing on the cake: "Are you two adults in charge?"
Dugu Mo nodded and said, "It's not considered an adult, but it's also in charge. Does Miss Zhou have something important to say?"
"Of course, I want to complain!" The girl raised her brows upside down, "The food here is so bad, you can't even get enough to eat!"
