Chapter 29 Tianzi No. 1 Iron Rooster

Outside the Wu Mansion, a sudden burst of slap on the door: "Open the door, General Liu comes to visit!"

The old slave in the mansion did not dare to be negligent and opened the mansion door tremblingly. As soon as the door opened, the murderous Liu Zongmin led a group of Shun Army soldiers into the mansion.

Wu Xiang heard a noise outside, and quickly walked out of the lobby and met Liu Zongmin. He quickly bowed and said, "I don't know that General Liu has come to the humble house and has failed to welcome him. I have accused him of the crime."

Liu Zongmin didn't talk nonsense to Wu Xiang, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that the second son of the old general Wu family had a beautiful concubine named Chen Yuanyuan. I don't know if Miss Chen is in the mansion. I have heard that he has a good name for him for a long time and I want to see Miss Chen's appearance with my own eyes. I also heard that Miss Chen has played a good song, and I hope that Miss Chen can be played with a daughter."

Sure enough, it came! Fortunately, Gao, the two Jinyiweisers of Zhao prepared in advance, otherwise it would be a dilemma whether to let Yuanyuan see this guy. If this devil saw Yuanyuan, he would be afraid of having evil thoughts; if he did not let him see him, he would be afraid of being unfavorable to the whole Wu family. Thinking of this, Wu Xiang quickly apologized to Liu Zongmin: "The general doesn't know anything. The northern part of the army is in chaos, and Miss Yuanyuan cannot bear the suffering, so he has already returned to Jiangnan. If the general doesn't believe it, the Wu family can open the door and let the general search."

Of course, Liu Zongmin didn't believe it, so he asked someone to search the Wu Mansion carefully. However, after searching for a long time, he turned the Wu Mansion upside down and could not find Chen Yuanyuan's shadow. Not to mention Chen Yuanyuan, there were not even a beautiful girl or a maid in the Wu Mansion, only a few women holding children and a vulgar and rough maid.

Liu Zongmin, who failed to search, asked suspiciously: "Miss Chen has bought it for the daughter of the Wu family? How could the Old General Wu be willing to let him return to Jiangnan? Wouldn't that be wasted a waste of his daughter?"

Wu Xiang replied calmly: "The beauty is a disaster in the troubled times. How dare I take it in? Previously, a salt merchant wanted to buy this woman, so I sold her beauty to the salt merchant in Lianghuai and asked her to take this woman to Jiangnan."

Liu Zongmin didn't believe Wu Xiang's nonsense at all, but he couldn't find anyone, so he could only leave in a daze.

After leaving the Wu Mansion, Liu Zongmin went into the palace to meet Li Zicheng and complained to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, I heard that Wu Xiang's son Sangui had a beautiful Qinhuai girl named Chen Yuanyuan. I have heard that this woman is very beautiful for a long time. I asked her to come to ask her for it. Who knew that the old thief Wu Xiang actually hid this woman and refused to hand it over. He also said something bad about beauty. He had already sold her to the salt merchants in the two Huai River to Jiangnan. Seeing his words, this man was not completely untrue, and I dare not believe it. I hope Your Majesty ordered Luo Yangxing to investigate the matter. If this man deceived the minister, I hope Your Majesty would take this man for the crime of deceiving the king, copy his mansion, and take his whole family to the prison!"

"Jiexuan, don't act recklessly! I'm trying to surrender Wu Sangui, but you want to take his beloved concubine. Wouldn't it be dissatisfied with Sangui?" Who knew that Li Zicheng was unmoved. In history books and some novels, Li Zicheng was a lustful person, which was actually a slander of Li Zicheng by literati. In real history, Li Zicheng was not a lustful person. Li Zicheng was not very interested in women. The wife Xing, who was kidnapped by Gao Jie, was black and thick, and had nothing to do with the beauty. His current wife Gao Guiying is also a thick and strong tomboy. Although she is quite good-looking, she is definitely not a beauty.

The beauty did not get it, but Liu Zongmin returned to prison after he returned to prison, and he even more questioned Chen Yan. He put the clamp stick directly on Chen Yan's head, and the two strong men pulled the clamp stick hard.

"Give up your life! The villain is willing to help the money!" It felt like his head was like Sun Wuzi who was covered with a tight curse. His mind was almost deformed. Chen Yan, who was greedy for life and death, begged for mercy repeatedly, "The villain still has four million taels of silver, and is willing to take it out!"

Liu Zongmin finally got a satisfactory reply. It was enough to copy four million taels from Chen Yan. Although Chen Yan's property must be more than that, the rest are real estate such as land deeds and store deeds, which cannot be converted into cash. Chen Yan has four million taels, so others can still bake silver, which is estimated to be tens of millions of taels. As long as you have these tens of millions of taels of silver, the military salary problem of the Dashun Army will be solved.

Shunjun went to Chen Yan's house and dug out gold and silver from his house, including more than 2 million taels of silver and more than 200,000 taels of gold, as well as various rare treasures, which totaled more than 4 million taels.

Chen Yan handed over almost all the cash bank. Li Zicheng saw that he could not squeeze out more money from him, so he asked Liu Zongmin to release Chen Yan. However, Li Zicheng did not intend to let go of this guy who was called "Youyou Yu Yu" by Chongzhen. Later, before sending troops to Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng beheaded Chen Yan. This guy who had harmed China for nearly three hundred years was finally punished as he deserved.

After squeezing Chen Yan, it was Zhou Kui's turn. Zhou Kui, who had been slapped in Chongzhen, was shaking and screaming when he was pinched by a stick. However, this slapped guy is still quite tough. He is completely a guy who wants money and lives. Although the pain is unbearable, he cried so hard that he still snot and tears, he still stubbornly said: "How can I get money? The court has not paid my salary for several years. General, you know that my son-in-law has even patched his dragon robe, so how can I get money for my salary?"

Liu Zongmin was furious and roasted the miser's arms with fire, inserted nails into the stick and then clamped his hands and feet. This was the case. This guy who wanted money and life was still unwilling to take out a tael of silver.

Shunjun rushed into Zhou Kui's mansion, captured his wife and daughter-in-law, and after some humiliation, he ordered him to commit suicide. After that, Liu Zongmin put a knife on Zhou Kui's son's neck and forced Zhou Kui to hand over the silver. This guy who wanted money but was desperate still refused to hand over the silver. Liu Zongmin was furious and cut off Zhou Kui's son's head.

From this we can see how stubborn this iron rooster is. She can watch her wife and sons be killed and refuse to hand over the silver. This can understand why this person refused to donate money to save Chongzhen. In his eyes, silver is everything, and silver is more important than his life. Not to mention the emperor's son-in-law, his wife and son have no money.

Zhou Kui's thinking is really hard for normal people to understand. Most people are greedy for money and are considering it for future generations. However, this old guy can even ask for money, which is incredible. This kind of person has become obsessed with money and cannot judge him with normal people's thinking.

Liu Zongmin failed in front of this stingy guy and did not give up a tael of silver, so he had to repay Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng came to pay for the salary in person, which tortured Zhou Kui so much that he almost died. At this time, the servants at home offered Li Zicheng the rockery where the silver was hidden in the Zhou Mansion to save the master.

Shunjun smashed the rockery in Zhou Mansion and collected more than 700,000 taels of silver and various rare treasures.

Li Zicheng found the money he wanted from Zhou Kui's mansion, and asked Liu Zongmin to release Zhou Kui.
