Chapter 573: Jin Yiwei came to the door(2/2)

What would be broken in a search like this? It's normal to do a lot of things.

If you are unlucky, the gold and silver hidden at home may be taken away by officials.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, have no way of reasoning with these officials.

What surprised Tang Wenlu was that these royal guards were not as arrogant as he had imagined.

Although they searched very carefully, they didn't destroy anything.

In addition to some people searching, the rest were also questioning Tang Wenlu.

Looking at the household registration list, he asked Tang Wenlu many questions.

Fortunately, they were prepared in advance. These household registrations were all prepared by the altar masters of Datong Prefecture several years in advance.

Of course, these household registrations were originally prepared for the former leaders of the White Lotus Sect, but now this is an advantage for them.

These household registrations are basically real. Even if Jin Yiwei came to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find many problems.

They just made some routine inquiries.

There was no problem with his identity, and nothing suspicious was found at home.

So after the search was completed, the Jin Yiwei strangers were ready to leave.

Tang Wenlu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly and carefully sent these Jin Yiwei away.

At the same time, he did not forget the two taels of silver he secretly stuffed into the leading Jinyi guard.

He doesn't dare to give too much. If an ordinary small grocery store owner is too generous, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling others that I have a problem?

The Jin Yiwei men smiled and shook the money in their hands: "What? Are you trying to bribe the officials?"

When he heard this sentence, Tang Wenlu was a little confused.

What kind of trick is this?

He has dealt with these officials many times, so he naturally knows the virtues of these people.

Someone is rushing to give away money, but if you don't accept it, it will be free of charge.

I have never seen anyone mentioned as a bribe when paying cash.

However, Tang Wenlu did not panic, and quickly pretended to be frightened and said: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I just feel that the officials are working hard, so I bought you some tea to drink."

After explaining, Tang Wenlu gritted his teeth pretending to be hesitant: "He took out another two taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the officer's hand."

"It's my fault. Sir, you brought so many brothers here. I'm afraid this little money is not enough for the brothers to drink tea."

Although there were about 70 or 80 people present, in addition to a dozen or so imperial guards, there were many remaining soldiers outside, guarding various important intersections to prevent those from the White Lotus Sect from escaping.

But even so, two taels of silver was enough for them and their family to have tea for several days.

After all, they are just rough people and they don't need to drink those expensive teas.

But the people in Jinyiwei laughed: "We can't afford such expensive tea. You should keep the money for yourself."

The Jin Yiwei pushed back all the money that Tang Wenlu gave him, then turned around and left.

This turn of events left Tang Wenlu a little confused. There are still some officials who are not greedy for money these days.

How did he know that Zhu Han's management of Jin Yiwei could be said to be very strict.

Some money can be taken, such as those from high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

If they want to give away money, as long as it doesn't involve issues of principle,

Even if the people of Jin Yiwei were accepted, Zhu Han would only turn a blind eye.

But Jin Yiwei is absolutely not allowed to take money from ordinary people.

If His Royal Highness the King of England finds out, they will definitely get some good things out of them.

Of course, Zhu Han did not blindly implement high-pressure policies. In order to compensate for them, Jin Yiwei's salary was quite generous.

Because of this, Jin Yiwei doesn't take a small amount of money too seriously.

Although Tang Wenlu felt a little surprised, whether the other party accepted the money or not had nothing to do with the overall situation.

He pretended to be embarrassed before and handed over two taels of silver again. He was also conveying a message to the first person.

They are indeed just ordinary people, so they hesitate about the two-liang factor.

If they were rebels from the White Lotus Sect, they would definitely want them to leave as soon as possible without hesitating about money.

"My lords, please go slowly. If you have time, please come to the shop for tea." Tang Wenlu said polite words while sending these Jin Yiwei away enthusiastically.

As long as they get out of this door, their crisis will be over.

As a result, he had just taken two steps when a Jin Yiwei's expression suddenly changed.

"Wait a minute, is there a cellar dug in your yard?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became nervous.

Several Jinyi guards stared at Tang Wenlu with unkind expressions.

Tang Wenlu's face turned pale: "Sir, I, I, I, we do have a cellar here."

As he spoke, Tang Wenlu seemed to be about to cry nervously: "But our cellar is only used to store some goods, vegetables and the like. Cocoa is not..."
