Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Mrs. Liang’s real name is Ling.

Her natal family was wiped out overnight five years ago.

The only person left behind was his nephew, Ling Hanbing, who was in Shangjing City.

Mrs. Liang began to understand why there was such an imperial edict to save the Liang family from disaster.

Although his nephew is not close to him, he is still a relative.

My nephew and my two sons are full cousins.

The nephew went to Nanning in person to check, and avoided the important and trivial matters, concealing the crime of treason for them.

On the one hand, this is for the sake of family affection; on the other hand, it may be because he does not want to be implicated.

As for the imperial decree saying that the Liang brothers voluntarily donated millions of their family property, Mrs. Liang also believed this.

The second son knew that the family had millions of savings accumulated over generations.

Using this money to buy the lives of a family is something that the second son can do.

Mrs. Liang felt very distressed. That was a million taels. The wealth accumulated by the Liang family for several generations was given to the court. Who could not feel distressed?

But Mrs. Liang still felt that her son's decision was the right one.

If the money is gone, you can still make it again. There is no mention of confiscation in the imperial edict, so the Liang family's current shop, land, real estate, and the money in their accounts can all be kept.

This is already a pleasant surprise.

Isn't this much better than running away to Dongyi with the whole family?

What's more, if the contact person hasn't come yet, the family may not be able to escape.

The idea of ​​using money to pay off one's crimes was probably suggested by his nephew Ling Hanbing to his second son Liang Xing.

I heard that the emperor was preparing to go to war with Dongyi and was short of military funds.

At this time, if the Liang family could hand over 100 million taels of silver as military expenses, the emperor might indeed sentence the Liang family lightly.

The imperial edict stated that because the Liang brothers were willing to donate millions of their family property to the national treasury, the sentence was light.

The emperor only deprived his son of his official position, demoted him to a pariah, and exiled him thousands of miles away.

This punishment is much lighter than losing your life.

Madam Liang figured everything out by herself.

She completely believed in the authenticity of this imperial edict and breathed a sigh of relief that her family had escaped disaster.

At this time, the young father-in-law who called himself "Liu Quan" urged:

"Mrs. Liang, should we search your house for these 100 million taels of silver, or should you hand it over yourself?

Ling Dutong and our family have met several times.

For Ling Dutong's sake, we don't want to scare the women at home.

It's best if you hand it over yourself.

I have brought the counting officer from the Ministry of Accounts. As soon as we collect enough gold and silver worth millions, we will leave.

Our family is still in a hurry to return to Beijing for business, Mrs. Liang, hurry up! "

Mrs. Liang thought about the gold that she had just dug out of the ground. She gritted her teeth and said to the third master, "Third master, please bring the gold out."

Mr. Liang San looked at his aunt with some reluctance.

Mrs. Liang shouted: "Do you think money is more important, or the life of the family?"

Only then did Mr. Liang San retreat.

After a while, Mr. Liang San and his men moved out three boxes.

Looking at the effort of the person moving the box, you can tell that the box is very heavy.

In front of everyone, Mrs. Liang opened the box and said to "Liu Quan" father-in-law:

"Eunuch Liu, please send someone to count the number."

An old official from the Ministry of Household Affairs wearing a sixth-grade official uniform came forward and began to count the numbers.

Because most of the boxes were gold and a small part were precious jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the inventory was quick.

“Ahem, 7 taels of gold is equivalent to 70 taels of silver.

These jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were discounted to about 20 taels, leaving a gap of 10 taels. "

The old man who claimed to be an official from the Ministry of Revenue shrugged his shoulders and coughed twice.

Mr. Liang San was dissatisfied and said: "How can these antique calligraphy and paintings be worth only 20 taels at a discount?"

The old official from the Ministry of Revenue said dissatisfied: "Why, you question my professionalism? How about you take these junk things back to me and exchange them all for gold or silver?"

Mrs. Liang quickly blocked Mr. Liang San.

She knew in her heart that the household calculation would definitely not be based on the market price.

The old official was obviously counting the items at at least a [-]% discount on the market price.

But at this time, everyone is a knife and a slave, and I am a fish and meat. What can they do?

Mrs. Liang said to the steward behind her: "Go, take out my dowry money and fill the gap of 10 taels."

Mrs. Liang used to be the direct daughter of the Ling family, so her dowry was naturally generous. After decades of business, she could still afford 10 taels, even though her body hurt.

After a while, the steward came out with a 10 tael banknote.

"Liu Quan," the father-in-law took the banknote, threw it into the box and said, "Okay, the settlement is complete, seal it, and prepare to return to Beijing overnight."

The Liang family watched helplessly as their millions of assets were sealed.

The three boxes were carried by soldiers and quickly carried out of the Liang Mansion.

Mrs. Liang respectfully sent Mr. Liu Quan and others out of the house.

The door of Liang Mansion was closed heavily.

This group of people came before, but they did not raid the Liang family, nor did they disturb the Liang family. The order of the Liang family remained as usual.

Although he was distressed because he used millions of his family property to pay off his crime, the Liang family still had money for daily expenses and a shop property, so they would not be destitute.

Some members of the Liang family even had a good sleep that night.

The group of people who left Liang Mansion, and the soldiers behind them, dispersed and gradually disappeared into several houses along the street.

The ten soldiers carrying the three boxes, "Liu Quan" father-in-law and the old official from the Ministry of Revenue entered a separate house.

Father-in-law "Liu Quan" tore off the human skin mask on his face, and after taking the antidote of a voice-changing pill, Chu Tianjiao's true face was revealed.

The old official from the Ministry of Revenue also straightened up and took off his mask. It was Lu Dingfeng.

"Miss, if my little grandson steals the imperial edict, he won't miss it, right?"

"No, your little grandson's Qinggong is far superior to mine. You have to believe in him."

Lu Dingfeng complained while changing clothes:

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether the imperial edict is stolen or not."

Chu Tianjiao thought for a while and said:

"It's better to take it back, so that when you really want to write a Taizu edict in the future, people won't suspect it's a fake."

Lu Dingfeng was immediately happy, and he came up to Chu Tianjiao to ask for praise:

"My granddaughter-in-law, when I showed you this blank imperial edict, you still thought I was messing around. Now you know that your grandpa has prepared for a rainy day, right?"

Lu Dingfeng carried Chu Tianjiao on his back to forge an imperial edict in Orange Village, and also carried a blank imperial edict on his back, and ran all the way from Shangjing to Nanning.

Along the way, she used the cover of the imperial edict to intimidate the inns along the way, in exchange for the treatment of one person and three riders.

Back on Bajiao Mountain, Chu Tianjiao rescued Lu Dingfeng from Liu Hai's hands, and Lu Dingfeng retrieved the bamboo tube containing the blank imperial edict.

Chu Tianjiao was really frightened by Lu Dingfeng's bold behavior.

She originally advocated burning the blank imperial edict, but Lu Dingfeng insisted on keeping it, saying that it might be useful in Jiaozhou.

Unexpectedly, I used it today.

It was Lu Dingfeng's idea to pretend to be an imperial envoy, plunder the Liang family, and make the Liang family voluntarily hand over the wealth dug out of the ground.

Chu Tianjiao just perfected the plan together.

At this time, Chu Tianjiao was so impressed by Lu Dingfeng's resourcefulness that he sincerely praised him:

"Yes, Grandpa Taizu was wise, but I am shallow and failed to understand your foresight."

After being complimented by Chu Tianjiao, Lu Dingfeng casually tore off the seal on one of the boxes.

"Let's keep this banknote and the gold in the box."

Chu Tianjiao was stunned: "Didn't you say that half of it would be given to the Li family?"
