Chapter 234 The miser goes crazy
Seeing that the visitor was a Jin Yiwei and that he had blown down the wall of his palace gate, Zhou Kui was furious and thought of making money at the same time.
In Zhou Kui's eyes, Jin Yiwei is nothing. If Jin Yiwei doesn't give him money, he will kill Jin Yiwei.
But Yue Yang didn't care about him at all, and waved to his subordinates:
"Take it!"
Two East Palace guards immediately stepped forward to arrest Zhou Kui, but Zhou Kui was not afraid at all. He waved his hand to the servants of the Jiading Count House:
"Capture these bandits and I will be rewarded!"
After hearing the master's order, dozens of servants in Jiadingbo's mansion immediately drew their swords and surrounded the East Palace guards. The servants often relied on Jiadingbo's power to do evil, so of course they were not afraid of the Jinyi guards.
After all, he is the father-in-law of the emperor and the grandfather of the crown prince. If Zhu Cihong doesn't say anything, the guards of the East Palace really don't dare to kill the servants of the Jiading residence.
Suddenly hearing the crown prince's voice, the East Palace guard immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger:
"Bang bang..."
A burst of gunfire rang out, and more than 20 servants of Jiading's uncle's residence were killed on the spot. The remaining dozen servants almost urinated in fear, and immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Zhou Kui did not expect that Jin Yiwei would dare to shoot and kill people, but he was still not afraid. He was sure that the emperor's son-in-law would not touch him, so he pointed at Yue Yang and cursed:
"A bunch of beasts dare to kill my uncle's servants. You are dead. I will go to the emperor to ask for an explanation..."
"Shut up, I think it's you, Zhou Kui, who is lawless and has lost his conscience just for money."
Before Zhou Kui finished speaking, Zhu Cixiang shouted loudly and then walked out from the crowd of guards in the East Palace.
Zhu Cihong was so small that he could not be seen among the guards in the East Palace. It was not until he left the guards in front that Zhou Kui noticed Zhu Cihong's figure.
Seeing Zhu Cixiang's arrival, Zhou Kui immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I am your grandpa. How can any grandson treat his grandpa like this? This is extremely unfilial. How can you treat your mother like this? Wuwu..."
Of course Zhu Cihong would not kill his grandfather because of the Zhonghun Temple issue. After all, he and Zhou Kui were related by blood.
He glanced at Zhou Kui with disgust and waved his hand to Yue Yang:
"Search!"
"Here"
Yue Yang accepted the order and immediately prepared to lead the East Palace guards to search Jiading Bo's Mansion.
"Stop, I have not committed any crime, why are you searching Jiading's Mansion..."
When he heard that his mansion was about to be searched, Zhou Kui suddenly burst out with infinite strength. He quickly got up from the ground and hugged Yue Yang's thigh without letting go!
"Scoundrel, old scoundrel..."
Zhu Cixi could only describe Zhou Kui as a scoundrel.
"Search!"
Fifty East Palace guards, what's the use of Zhou Kui holding Yue Yang? Zhu Cixiang waved his hand, and the East Palace guards immediately dispersed to search Jiading Bo's Mansion. Zhou Kui had no choice but to cry loudly...
Zhou Kui's grandson Zhou Tong came out of the room when he heard the commotion. He recognized Yue Yang who had kidnapped him at a glance. The boy understood everything instantly and hurriedly retreated into the room.
Since the crown prince can allow his personal guards to kidnap him and extort money from his grandfather, what else can't he do?
"Your Highness, a large number of unknown objects and three warehouses were discovered!"
About halfway through the incense stick, a personal guard came to report, and Zhu Cihong immediately followed him.
When he saw a large number of unknown objects in the mouth of his personal guard, Zhu Cixi was almost angry. He did not expect that Zhou Kui would move all the cement back to his house. The personal guard had never seen it, so of course he did not know what it was.
"Go to the warehouse!"
"Here"
The personal guards led the way, and soon they arrived at the back house of Jiading Bo Mansion. There were three secret rooms in the underground of a house, and a huge lock was hung on the iron door.
The guards did not carry tools. Their Xiuchun knives could not damage the large iron lock, and they did not dare to use grenades for fear of blowing up the precious things inside.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that the guards of the East Palace couldn't open the big iron lock after struggling for a long time, Zhu Cixi waved his hand to the guards to get away, then took out a purple gold hammer and hit the big iron door.
"Bang..."
With a loud bang, the iron door was easily smashed open, and piles of shiny silver suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Cixiang and others.
"Bang..."
Zhu Cixiang did not enter the warehouse, but he smashed open the iron doors of the other two warehouses.
After some inspection, it was found that two warehouses stored more than 400,000 taels of gold and silver, and the other warehouse stored jade and jade, worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, and an account book was found.
Zhu Cixiang was not surprised by this. He knew that Zhou Kui still had a lot of money, but Zhu Cixiang was still a little surprised to find the account book.
After receiving the account book handed over by Yue Yang, Zhu Cixiang immediately opened it and looked at it. He found that Zhou Kui not only seized other people's shops and property, but also had commodity transactions with Jiannu.
"Send 20,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry to rebuild the Zhonghun Temple, and the rest will be given to the father's internal funds!"
"Here"
Zhu Cihong didn't intend to ask for Zhou Kui's money this time. He knew he couldn't hide it, so he gave all of it to the emperor as a favor.
Zhu Cihong was a little embarrassed about Zhou Kui's treatment. After all, he was his mother's biological father and his grandfather. The evil deeds Zhou Kui had done in history had not happened, so it was difficult to directly execute him.
"My money, my money, that is my life..."
Seeing the gold and silver he had earned through all kinds of efforts being taken away by carts, Zhou Kui, the head of state, sat slumped on the ground and muttered something.
"Looking at the good things you have done, why are you smuggling contraband and trading slaves? What good will it do to you to overthrow the Ming Dynasty after the slaves become stronger?"
Zhu Cixiang threw the account book directly on Zhou Kui's face.
Regardless of the pain on his face, Zhou Kui looked up at Zhu Cixiang and suddenly shouted:
"You are Sun Wukong, and I am the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Why did you take away my golden cudgel? I will go to the Jade Emperor to sue you..."
Zhou Kui yelled and got up and ran. When passing by the pool in the mansion, he jumped directly in and shouted the Jade Emperor's name loudly while diving in the water.
When a goldfish swam past him, Zhou Kui grabbed the goldfish, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it...
The money he had earned with all his hard work was taken away by his grandson Zhu Cihong, and the stingy Zhou Kui couldn't bear the blow and went crazy.
Zhou Kui has become a madman, and there is no need for Zhu Cixiang to execute a grandfather who has become a madman.
So it was decided to strip Jiadingbo of his title and his son's official position, and drive Zhou Kui's family back to his hometown of Suzhou to retire...
After all, he was not the emperor, and he had to get permission from the emperor to remove Zhou Kui's title. Zhu Cihong left Jiading's Mansion and went directly to Qianqing Palace.
Seeing the emperor's arrival, Chongzhen was a little surprised:
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"Father, my son has added five hundred thousand taels of silver to your internal funds. This is the ledger!"
While talking, Zhu Cihong placed the account books found in Zhou Kui's house on the emperor's Long Shu desk.
Hearing that so much money had entered the internal funds, Emperor Chongzhen was so happy that he couldn't help but grab his father-in-law's account book and look through it.
"Five hundred thousand taels? Which official's house has the emperor confiscated? They are all corrupt officials. They all deserve to be killed and stripped. The emperor has done a good job... Your Majesty..."
