As we all know, Xiao Shenyang was a famous corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, but in his early days as an official, Xiao Shenyang was an honest official, and he was a very knowledgeable person, knowledgeable, familiar with the four books and five classics, and proficient in Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan. However, with his rising position, Xiao Shenyang began to abuse his power, engage in malpractices for personal gain and take bribes by taking advantage of his position. Even once became the richest official at that time.
As the saying goes, I don't know what to do. The corruption and bribery in Shenyang reached the ears of Emperor Jiaqing. He sent someone to search his house. But only a small amount of money was found, which was not as exaggerated as the legend. Many people don't believe it, and neither does Emperor Jiaqing. Therefore, Emperor Jiaqing sent a large number of troops to search. It is said that it took six days and six nights to empty all assets.
As for how the searchers found the storage place of the money, it was because the officers and men accidentally stabbed the wall of Xiao Shenyang's bedroom when they searched it, and they saw the money fall out of the wall. As a result, officials suddenly realized that the walls of the houses in Little Shenyang were all hollow, so they cut them open. Sure enough, shiny money flowed out of the wall. This discovery is irrelevant. There are a lot of gold, silver and jewels hidden in more than a dozen walls at home.
In addition, the officers and men also found a lot of money in the pillar of Xiao Shenyang's house. This method is really unexpected to most people. Sure enough, "the first greed in the world" is not called for nothing.
