With the assistance of Tang Yu, Wang Dafu and his soldiers began to inspect the four large households headed by Liu Shizao. During the inspection, there were also special pen officials posted notices to explain the reasons for arresting these people to the people.

One is to avoid causing panic, and the other is to deter those who have Qing hearts.

When the soldiers surrounded Liu's house, Liu Shizao was still trying to struggle. But when Wang Dafu took out the letter he wrote to Liu Liangzuo, Liu Shizao was completely speechless.

The Liu family is a big family, and there are more than 70 people in the direct line, all of which need to be arrested.

There is no way to do this, and if they copy their home, it will be a life-and-death vengeance. If not all caught, those people will become a hidden danger.

In order to retaliate against Wu Changqing, they may leak information about the Ming army to the Qing army, or they may find a way to assassinate Wu Changqing.

The main culprit, Liu Shizao, will undoubtedly be executed, while the men of the Liu family will be taken to the mine to mine or do other coolies, and the women of the Liu family will be sold to brothels without exception.

As a later generation, Wu Changqing did not want to do such a thing, but this is the most efficient method, and it is also a common method in this era, and it is a characteristic of this era.

Even if Wu Changqing did this, everyone would take it for granted, and no one would think he was cruel.

When Liu Shizao was caught, he saw Tang Yu and Wang Dafu together, and immediately seemed to understand something, and started all kinds of vicious curses.

However, before he could swear a few words, the soldiers smashed a few teeth with the handle of the knife.

As for Tang Yu, he was introducing to Wang Dafu some assets hidden by Liu Shizao, land in the countryside, etc., completely ignoring Liu Shizao.

Dozens of members of the Liu family were bound and driven out of the Liu residence, attracting many people to watch.

With the call of the clerk, the people knew what was going on.

Knowing that Liu Shizao of the Liu family actually intended to collude with the Manchu Tatars to break the city, some angry people couldn't help throwing mud or small stones at them.

As for the picture of throwing eggs and vegetables in movies and TV dramas, there is no such thing. The people are not rich enough.

The family members of the Liu family were taken away crying and crying, but no one would sympathize with them. First, they were upset because Liu Shizao colluded with the Tatars, and second, the Liu family was too rich.

Hatred of the rich has existed since ancient times. Seeing that the Liu family was unlucky, many people felt very happy.

Even, some men are still thinking about ways to get some money, and then go to the kiln to visit the daughters of the Liu family.

The feeling of holding the rich lady who used to be high above her body is completely different from riding an ordinary kiln sister.

The Liu family was raided, and the other three households were quickly raided. In the same way, the head of the house is executed, the males do coolies, and the female relatives are sold into brothels.

At night, Wu Zhiyue took the ledger to the government office to report.

This time, they confiscated a total of 180,000 taels of cash, as well as numerous antique furniture and antiques from various residences. The initial estimate was about 1,200,000 taels.

However, the price of antique calligraphy and painting is hard to say. In a prosperous world, it may be worthless, and in a troubled world, it may be worthless. It may be cheaper if you are in a hurry to sell, and it is possible to sell at a high price if you wait for the opportunity.

In addition to these, there are various shops and goods, and the initial estimated value is about 900,000 taels.

And their land in the countryside is worth about 400,000 to 500,000 taels.

That is to say, their total income from this inspection was about 2.8 million taels. I have to say that raiding homes is really cool. If it wasn't for fear of causing social unrest, as long as he kept raiding the homes of those big families, it would be enough to support Wu Changqing's military spending in his struggle to dominate the world.

Of course, this is impossible. Wealthy businessmen are a very important part of this society. It’s okay to kill a few occasionally, but if you kill too many, the whole society will fall into chaos.

In addition to the 2.8 million, Tang Yu also donated 150,000 in cash and 800,000 in assets. Originally, he wanted to donate all of it, but Wu Changqing left him some land and shops.

At the same time, Wu Changqing also let him continue to manage the original business. However, all the money earned will be handed over to the army as military pay.

Tang Yu's ability to make his family business as large as one million is enough to show that he is a wise man and can use it with confidence.

The cloth business of Liu Shizao's family was taken over by Wu Zhiyue. He also managed the business of the other three families, but in order to realize it, they would gradually sell them.

Knowing that Liu Shizao and others had their homes raided, and several of the main criminals were also beheaded, Chen Daolin only sneered in his heart.

When those people pushed him away, he knew it clearly.

Now that I see the unfortunate people who push me out, I feel so refreshed and happy.

At the same time, he is also grateful for his big bet, at least from the current point of view, he bet is very right.

With 8,000 troops, 40,000 Qing troops were defeated, and now Wu Changqing's troops have expanded to more than 10,000, and will soon reach 20,000.

This number, the Qing army may not be easy to destroy without an army of 100,000. In other words, Wu Changqing has gained a firm foothold.

Moreover, Chen Daolin believes that Wu Changqing's strength will continue to grow.

After Wu Changqing defeated the Qing army, some businessmen who were also excluding him, all came to the door and wanted to get in touch with Chen Daolin.

The businessmen in Suzhou are not stupid either, and they can see that, at least for a short time, Wu Changqing has the final say in Suzhou.

In this situation, it is very necessary to please Wu Changqing and Chen Daolin.

"Congratulations to Manager Chen, who is about to become General Wu's father-in-law. It's really gratifying. On the day of General Wu's wedding, I don't know if I can ask for a drink."

Liu Wuling flattered that the wedding date of Wu Changqing and Chen Yuyan was getting closer, but he did not receive the invitation, which made him very anxious.

As a businessman, he must have good relationships with those in power.

If even Wu Changqing's wedding is not eligible to attend, will it be possible to receive care in the future?

"Of course there is no problem with this. The invitation is still being transcribed, and it will be delivered to the government soon."

Chen Daolin said that he did not take revenge on these people because he had been excluded, and he could not commit it. There is no great benefit to revenge on these people other than to make enemies.

And accepting them is the hope of becoming a leader among them.

Moreover, it is also a very cool thing to be with them and enjoy the flattery of these successful people.

"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper Chen. In the future, if the shopkeeper Chen needs something, even if you say hello, I, Liu, will never say a word."

At this point, Liu Wuling was finally relieved, as long as Chen Daolin didn't hold grudges.

There are still many people like Liu Wuling, and for a while, the Chen residence seems to be a bit of a family.
