Chapter 122: Checking the Qianfu

"Since there is a matter of corruption, Mr. Situ happened to be here, so he immediately confiscated the Qian Mansion. The details will be reported to the court tomorrow." Nangongshan seemed to be eager to take the case.

"Chengye, you stay to assist Lord Situ."

"Fei Li, you also stay." Nangong Shan said: "Master Situ, from the Qian Mansion, please detain it first."

There are not many manpower in Dali Temple, and he has no guards, so the matter can only be left to the Imperial City Imperial Army.

Li Feibai and Chen Gongzhi responded one after another.

According to David's law, three officials must be present when a house is searched. This is to prevent two people from colluding and embezzling the property of the officials being raided.

Li Feibai represents the Qi Palace, Gu Chengye represents the Dali Temple, and Situ Wuyou is naturally the imperial guard.

When he heard that his property was going to be searched, Qian Liangye didn't react at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Master Chen, I will follow you back to Dali Temple," Nangongshan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The remaining Dali Temple soldiers lifted Qian Liangye from the ground and escorted him out of Qian's Mansion.

"There are gods when you raise your head three feet, there are gods when you raise your head three feet..."

Suddenly, Qian Liangye seemed to have gone crazy, shouting these words repeatedly.

When Li Feibai heard this, his brows were furrowed and he was thinking a little. When Qian Liangye passed by him, he accidentally came into contact with the other person's eyes, which were clear and firm and did not look like he was crazy at all.

Why does he keep shouting this sentence?

And why did Nangong Ding leave, he seemed flustered, but in fact he seemed to be relieved?

All kinds of details and doubts came to Li Feibai's mind.

"Are you the medical officer who cured King Qi's strange disease?" Situ Wuyou took the initiative to say hello.

"That's right." Li Feibai bowed his hands and saluted: "I have always heard that Situ, the leader of Yushu Linfeng, has superb cultivation. It is truly a blessing to see him today."

"Your Majesty, it's just that you fell in love by mistake." Situ Wuyou said humbly: "But you, on the other hand, are quite capable. You are not only proficient in medical skills, but also able to compose poems and match pairs. You also defeated King Zhao in chess, and now you have a beautiful woman in your arms. You are really enviable.

Make me wait."

He was naturally referring to Xu Qianqian.

"I acted impulsively in the next moment and acted recklessly to make the commander laugh." Li Feibai replied nonchalantly.

"Two of you, if you want to chat, how about we meet at Taibai Tower while we're done with things here?" Gu Chengye stepped forward and said with a smile.

On the surface, he was saying thank you, but in fact, he was urging me.

How could Li Feibai not understand the meaning of his words? He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled and said: "It seems that Gu Shaoqing is very anxious. That's fine, Mr. Situ, we have serious business. Let's have a drink with Gu Shaoqing another day."

“Very good.”

Qian Liangye had one wife and three concubines. In addition to his son Qian Shaocheng, he also had two daughters and two youngest sons, both of whom had not yet reached adulthood. After the incident, they hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

Situ Wuyou ordered several imperial guards to detain them and send them to Dali Temple and hand them over to Nangong Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, there was an earth-shaking search of the property.

The first is the study room. Li Feibai and the two of them pushed the door open. Directly opposite was a shrine with a god enshrined on it, carved from pure gold. There were constant incense burning next to it, and the food offered looked extremely fresh. Obviously, every day

Daily replacement.

"Qian Liangye is crazy, but he is actually very pious to the gods." Situ Wuyou said casually.

Seeing the layout of the room, Li Feibai seemed to have a flash of light in his mind, but he couldn't catch it. He stood motionless, trying to find out the problem.

Situ Wuyou ordered people to pack all the antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and rare treasures in the room into boxes and count them. Gu Chengye took a booklet and registered them one by one.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?" Situ Wuyou couldn't help but asked when he saw Li Feibai standing there blankly.

"Oh, it's okay." Li Feibai reacted, but he still had many doubts in his heart.

"Master Situ, after checking the study, go to the accounting room and have a look." Gu Chengye said.

It took nearly two hours for the three of them to finish counting all the money and assets of the Qian Mansion.

"There are 23,000 taels of silver in total, ten calligraphy and paintings, four antiques, and some jewelry." Gu Chengye said while looking at the records in the booklet.

Situ Wuyou is a warrior and has no idea about these things.

But Li Feibai was different. When he heard Gu Chengye's words, he couldn't help but frown and asked: "Mr. Gu, apart from the cash, how much other equivalent silver can you have?"

As a young minister of Dali Temple, Gu Chengye was also considered a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Although he did not study these antique calligraphy and paintings in depth, he probably knew their value.

He counted briefly and answered: "About seventy thousand taels."

"So, the total assets of Qian Liangye's family do not exceed one hundred thousand taels?" Li Feibai asked solemnly.

"Well, that's right, no more than one hundred thousand taels." Gu Chengye replied affirmatively.

This is strange. According to Qian Wende's confession, Qian Liangye's assets that have been corrupted by Mo over the years are no less than ten million taels, but now only one hundred thousand taels have been found?

Tip of the iceberg!

Where did the rest go?

"This is completely inconsistent with the amount Qian Wende confessed." Li Feibai asked the question in his mind.

The two of them were just searching the house and didn't seem to notice this detail. They only realized it after hearing what Li Feibai said.

"Yes, there is a huge difference." Gu Chengye agreed.

"Master Situ, is there any secret room in the Qian Mansion?" Li Feibai's first reaction was that Qian Liangye had put most of his property in the secret room.

"Brother Bai, don't worry about this. Dali Temple has not ransacked homes once or twice. I can tell at a glance whether a secret room is built in the mansion. I can be sure that there is no secret room in the Qian Mansion." Gu Chengye dispelled his doubts.

"This is strange." Li Feibai's words were more like saying to himself.

"Could it be that he transferred his assets elsewhere?" Situ Wuyou thought of a possibility.

Hearing this, Li Feibai retorted: "Where can it be transferred? Qian Liangye's close relatives are all here. Do you dare to transfer such a huge amount of assets to a friend's name?"

The two of them nodded one after another. They found that Li Feibai was not only good at medicine, but also understood poetry and calligraphy, and was good at playing chess. He was also very thoughtful, so they couldn't help but look at him strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" As a secret agent, he has developed an acquired vigilance. Once someone is staring at him, he will feel it in his heart.

It was this vigilance that saved him last time at Luji Tavern.

"Brother Bai, you seem to know very well about Qian Liangye's family situation?" Gu Chengye now realized that Li Feibai seemed to be very interested in Qian Liangye. Of course, he was not suspicious, he just asked casually.

"Oh, the prince mentioned it to me on the way." Li Feibai hesitated.

After all, he still had his own matters to attend to. Seeing that the inspection was completed, Situ Wuyou handed over his hands and said, "Master Gu, Brother Bai, now that it's settled, I'll take my leave. As for why the assets of the Qian Mansion are so different, let's leave them to Master Chen."

Let’s go to trial.”
