Pei Ziyun collected the keys and documents, went to the blacksmith shop and bought a new lock, hoe and hammer for later use.
In the previous life, it was said that the gold was hidden under a tree. At that time, there was a spring thunder at night and struck the tree. Someone once went to deal with the tree and dug out the gold. However, the matter was not kept secret and leaked. It turned out that the homeowner knew about it and filed a lawsuit. , and finally most of it was taken away by the Yamen.
"A ruler who is not secret will lose his ministers, and a minister who is not secret will lose himself. If a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm." Pei Ziyun smiled and returned to the house. The first thing he did was to change the lock: "It doesn't matter whether Chun Lei is true or not, anyway. The information exposed by this rumor is under the tree.”
After replacing the new locks, Pei Ziyun exhaled. This house belongs to him. What if he digs gold and someone comes in by chance
After everything was done and the sky turned cloudy, Pei Ziyun was full of thoughts and walked along the pebble path. In fact, there was only one tree in the courtyard, and it became darker and darker under the tree.
Pei Ziyun started digging with a hoe, digging around the tree. When the soil was dug up, there was nothing. He just frowned. Could it be that he bought the wrong house
I broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, if the rumors from the past life are correct, Zeng's surname is Juren, Dafang, January, and the big tree in the courtyard. These are all correct, but why aren't they?"
Pei Ziyun frowned deeply, are there other trees? When I looked for it, I couldn't find it in this courtyard.
Suddenly he realized that it was rumored that the tree fell down due to lightning strike, and then he discovered the gold. It should be dug relatively deep, so he continued digging under the tree.
After digging for a while, there was the sound of gold and stone clashing. When the soil was turned over, there was a box buried in the ground with tree roots surrounding it.
Looking at the box, Pei Ziyun realized that the owner of the family might have buried it that day to avoid forgetting the location of the tree. Later, the family was killed. No one knew that the tree kept growing and became a tree that no one could hold.
After digging out the box, Pei Ziyun saw that it was an iron lock. Although it was very rusty, the lock itself was still there. After thinking about it, he hit it with a hammer.
"Bang!" Not only was the iron chain broken, but also the box was shattered. Pei Ziyun was startled and realized that the wooden box had actually rotted for a long time.
After looking at it, I found that the box was very simple, just gold bars, one by one. I took out one and weighed it: "A standard twelve gold bars!"
He clicked: "Three hundred? That's three thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver? It's almost the gold level of a minister-level official."
Pei Ziyun took a gold bar, then moved the box under the bed in the inner room, and filled it back with soil when he got back. It is easy to have problems when taking gold in broad daylight. It would be troublesome if Zhang Cheng came back to take things. If this person doesn't come today, Find someone to clean out all this person's belongings tomorrow.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw someone calling the door: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, who entered my house and locked my door? Be careful, I will go to the Yamen to sue you."
Zhang Cheng was so drunk that he banged on the door loudly and shouted wildly.
Pei Ziyun started to sweat a little: "In the previous life, Zeng Juren was discovered by the landlord and then filed a lawsuit, right?"
He filled up the soil and opened the door. Zhang Cheng was already very drunk. When he saw Pei Ziyun, he was furious: "Who are you and why are you in my house? Be careful, I will sue you."
Seeing this man going crazy with alcohol and trying to break into the yard, Pei Ziyun glanced at the onlookers. He snorted coldly, stepped forward and slapped the man, knocking him to the ground. Only then did he realize that he was sober and reacted. When he came over, he had sold the house, and saw Pei Ziyun coldly: "Get out!"
Since I am a judge, I cannot have a sense of human rights, so I have to be quick to fight at this time.
But although Zhang Cheng was afraid, he refused to leave for some reason. Instead, relying on the strength of his drink, he puffed out his chest and loudly said: "I told you that I still have my things. I have to get them. Let me go in and sleep for a few nights." I will leave then. No matter where you go to complain about this, it will be the same. How many times have I stayed?"
He wanted to cheat and occupy the bed. As for cheating in the future, Zhang Chengcheng had a plan. He went to a brothel and came back after Xiaohua had been redeemed. He didn't want to sell the house again.
Seeing this rogue man, Pei Ziyun snorted coldly: "The deed of this house has been transferred, and you still enter our courtyard? According to Daxu law, if you enter the courtyard without the owner's consent, you will be punished with ten punishments according to law. If you break into an official's house, you will be punished three times. .”
Pei Ziyun stared at the villain and said coldly.
Zhang Cheng was a little scared, so he calmed down: "Why, this is my house, and my things are still in it. I went to get them and sleep for a few days before leaving. This yard is so big, why should you be stingy? You won't be able to live in it all anyway." Why don't you just let me stay for a few days?"
"Go away, if you dare to come in, I will report it to the official. I am a juren. I can give you some food. I will ensure that you will not be able to eat and walk around with thirty sticks. You may die!" Pei Ziyun said coldly, closing the door. At this time, Huang Jin was unwilling to let this person in the hospital. If he really broke in, Pei Ziyun would really kill this person.
Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard Pei Ziyun's words. Thirty sticks could indeed kill someone, and he looked back and left.
The onlookers burst into laughter. The Zhang family had acquired Xiao Shilang's yard and lived a comfortable life, but they didn't expect this family to be a scoundrel, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and their family fortunes had declined.
In this generation, even the yard was sold for a **, and people around looked down on him. Seeing that this person tried to live on and failed, they all laughed.
When Zhang Cheng was far away, he let out a loud sigh and found a stone to sit on, rolling his eyes and thinking about something.
At night, Pei Ziyun bought ten wooden boxes, took the gold bars out from under the bed, and packed them separately.
A box contained thirty gold bars and three hundred taels. The gold bars sparkled under the lamp. Pei Ziyun was a little touched when he looked at the gold. This was a large sum of money. He could get the hidden gold by just taking some rumors after rebirth. It was really too much to get rich suddenly. Simple, just close the lid after reading.
Princess Mansion
The market was bustling and crowded. There were two large stone lions squatting at the door. The main door was not open, and there were people coming in and out of the corner door. Pei Ziyun came up to the concierge to ask questions.
Pei Ziyun handed over the gift list. It was not unusual for the princess mansion to have many strangers come to pay homage, but it was relatively rare to come early in the morning. He was surprised when he took the gift list and looked at it.
Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "It's a small courtesy. If you ask for something, I hope you can give it to me."
After saying that, he handed over a silver ingot. The customer weighed it and was shocked again. Even if it was for the princess's mansion, such a move would be a big deal. He understood that this person must have a big request, and it was difficult to agree to it at this time. , the concierge had an expressionless face.
"Young master, you go back first, and I will submit the gift list. Whether it is successful or not depends on the mood of the eldest princess."
Pei Ziyun said: "Please tell me whether it's successful or not."
The concierge said: "Of course."
This rule is very strict. At this time, the gift list is only given. If the princess agrees, the gift money will be accepted. After the concierge accepts the gift list, he will report it to the housekeeper.
After walking a few steps, the concierge caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the Moon Cave door. It was the housekeeper. He stopped talking and just bowed to greet him. When the housekeeper came over, he said, "Please take a look at this gift list."
The butler was startled when he saw it, his expression changed, and he asked, "What's going on?"
The concierge then explained everything in detail, and the butler's face became slightly better. He just said in a deep voice: "Go and check the details of Pei Ziyun. It's too late to do anything else. Go ask the main room for the princess's post. Newly arrived in Yingzhou. Jieyuan, there should be information about this person."
This general meeting room is actually the National Intelligence Agency. It is extremely confidential. You can check it by taking the princess's post, which shows the influence and power of the eldest princess.
It is said that the eldest princess was too lazy to sleep and didn't get up until after ten o'clock. The maids kept going in and out of the room, carrying clothes, milk, rose petals, and tidying up for the eldest princess. It took an hour to finish the tidying up for breakfast. But at this time, actually It's lunch time.
Immediately after, various dishes were served. They were steaming in the winter. The dishes were not a big supplement, but they were all meals prescribed by the imperial doctor according to the eldest princess's constitution.
The last thing served was a bowl of black-bone chicken beauty soup, which contained a few black wolfberries, a few achyranthes and black-bone chicken. According to the imperial doctor, this recipe can strengthen the marrow and nourish the skin.
The eldest princess sipped the soup, and the housekeeper stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, someone sent a gift this morning. This gift list is really not light."
The steward said and handed over the gift list. The eldest princess put down the spoon and took the gift list. Her smile suddenly froze when she saw that there was a thousand taels of gold written on it. This was not a small amount.
In an agricultural society, although Daxu has a large population and a large territory, the accumulation of wealth in the world is very limited.
The eldest princess herself is an important representative of the clan, so she naturally knows it. Don't listen to the nonsense of the opera singers below. The top prime minister, the Duke, is actually worth hundreds of thousands of taels, accumulated over decades. This dynasty's new prince, the emperor's grandson, is The salary is 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 shi of lumi.
The princess was granted a residence in Zhuangtian, with a yearly income of 1,500 shi of rice and 2,000 guan of silver.
As the eldest princess, she was specially given a double salary, two villages and fields, and an annual harvest of three thousand shi of rice and four thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver is the amount of money a cabinet prime minister needs to survive and leave a way out. A few days ago, my nephew Yinghou wanted to give his father, the emperor's distant cousin, a title of county king (note that it was a posthumous title, but it was given to a dead person) , and it only cost ten thousand taels.
According to Pei Ziyun's words, one gift is ten thousand taels. This is a figure only available to members of the political bureau of this dynasty. These thirty thousand taels may have been accumulated by the minister's family for decades, or even only one or two generations could have it. In the end, they were cut off before they could withdraw. .
The eldest princess stayed for a while, then put down the gift sheet with a smile on her face: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either cheating or stealing. If you give such a heavy gift, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get what you ask for."
The eldest princess became suspicious. Who could be so serious about it? Could it be the Marquis of Jibei in the south? Or the generals of the Han Dynasty in the north, or the ongoing turmoil between the DPRK and China and the Du war between the two countries
The eldest princess hesitated and then asked: "Who is coming?"
The housekeeper handed over the name card, and the eldest princess took it, looked at it, and laughed: "It turns out it's a candidate for examination. Could it be that he wants to ask test questions? I can't do that."
The eldest princess said to herself: "Besides, I can donate ten thousand taels of silver to the prefect, so why bother asking? Have you heard about Pei Ziyun?"
The steward had already figured it out and replied: "Your Highness, if I understand this person correctly, he should be Pei Jieyuan, who is going to be a wine drinker. He is from Yingzhou and is in the same state as the Marquis of Jibei. Although I have not heard of him defecting to Jibei these days. Hou, we have to guard against him."
