Hou Ruhai was surprised to find that these angry people also rushed into Xiao's house, holding the door panel to help the officers and soldiers resist the stray arrows, which made his blood rush to his head all of a sudden, and his face was red, as if he was drunk, what is the desire of the people? This is what the people want, when the anger of the people has a catharsis, Dousha Pass is very easy to govern, very simple, as long as the people are allowed to vent this evil breath in their chests, they will restore their cowardly nature, the same is true in ancient times!

When the thieves came, they chose not to resist because of fear or luck, and when their net worth was severely traumatized, they would become an extremely brave group of people, the common people of the Great Song Dynasty were such a character, how could Hou Ruhai, who had been a prefect for many years, not know the nature of the common people.

Seeing that the people who fell to the ground were still screaming and charging forward, Hou Ruhai almost wanted to sing loudly, and blurted out: "The courage of the strong man is commendable, and the official will definitely be rewarded after the war!" ”

So those people who were still hesitating also rushed into the Xiao family with a bang, leaving Liu Dutou alone to protect Hou Ruhai and stand outside the door, Hou Ruhai asked Liu Dutou worriedly: "These people won't loot the Xiao family after they rush in, right?" ”

Liu Dutou took out a chair from the shop next to him, carefully wiped his sleeves and put it behind Hou Ruhai, and when he saw Hou Ruhai sitting down, he whispered: "My lord, let them rob, the more powerful the robbery, the better, how much money can the Xiao family put on the surface, according to the villain, there is a dark room in the back garden of the Xiao family, and that is where the money is placed." ”

Hou Ruhai listened to Liu Dutou's words, and immediately regained his calm appearance, and nodded frequently to the people who came out of the Xiao family carrying all kinds of things, so it's great, the property of the Xiao family has been robbed by the people, great, who can say that he is greedy for the Xiao family's wealth in the future, so he will destroy the door.

After waiting for a long time, Hou Ruhai had already drunk a pot of tea, and then he saw Yu Hou, who he had sent in, coming out with a bulging bag in his arms to report that the thieves of the Xiao family had been wiped out, and he asked the adults to check them.

Hou Ruhai glared at Yu Hou fiercely, accompanied by Liu Dutou and entered Xiao's house, Xiao Zhushu was lying in front of the flower hall, and there were seven or eight soldiers who had died in battle, a knife slashed obliquely on an ancient tree, and his body was almost cut into several pieces, only a white-haired head was intact, which was specially left by the soldiers in order to repay their merits.

Hou Ruhai nodded and stepped over the body of Master Xiao and entered the back hall, all the daughters of the Xiao family were dead, all of them were killed by arrows, it seems that Master Xiao already knew that he could not be spared today, so he deliberately killed his family members in order not to be insulted.

There was nothing in the hall but dead bodies, and the jewelry on the bodies of the female dependents was also looted.

"My lord, a total of forty-one thieves are here, none of them are missing, and all the one hundred and thirty-three thieves were killed by the people, but a lot of family wealth was also taken away by the people."

Hou Ruhai looked at Yu Hou with mocking eyes and said: "What the hell is going on, the official knows that the people are taking crude benzene things, which can be worth a few dollars, and you don't need to take the people as an item, but this time for the sake of your careful efforts to kill the thief, the official will not be held accountable, and he must not have accumulated much loose silver after being a soldier for many years, even if you go on an oil trip this time, the pension of the soldiers who died in the war must be paid by yourself, and the official will give another reward, and you must not stretch out your hand to this money, who stretches out your hand, The officer cut off his dirty paws, remember? ”

Yu Hou was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down and thanked him, not only bowed, but the soldiers behind him also bowed down, such a benevolent and righteous turban is really rare, and there is such a Shangguan who is not a loss even if he dies.

Hou Ruhai laughed, ordered the soldiers to guard the back garden, and he and Liu Dutou came to the rockery nearby, Hou Ruhai pointed to the rockery and said: "I don't know how these people's minds are long, some of them don't like to make some rockeries in the back garden, you see that there is no harmony between this rockery and the whole mansion, if there is any secret room or something, it should be here, right?" ”

Liu Du's eyes were straight, and he arched his hand again and again: "The adult really sees thousands of miles, it is indeed here, the last time I sent money, the villain saw Xiao Lao Thief open the treasure house, so he knows something, so he will open it and ask the adult to take a look." ”

Hou Ruhai saw that Liu Dutou was stupid and cute, so he took out his little pu fan and slapped him on the door of the head and said: "Stupid man, when people's treasure houses are opened, you don't know that this is the way to die?" ”

"It was Old Thief Xiao who asked me to see it." Liu Dutou shouted and hit the sky.

Hou Ruhai was too lazy to talk to such a stupid person, so he pointed with a pu fan and motioned Liu Dutou to open the secret room, and he wanted to see what was inside.

Liu Dutou tried his best to push a small rockery away, and a dark passage appeared at the feet of the two, and walked to the iron door of the dark room, Liu Dutou took out the key to untie the body of Master Xiao, opened the iron door, and lit the oil lamp inside, and then invited Hou Ruhai to come down and watch.

There were six large boxes inside, Hou Ruhai opened one of the boxes and took a look, then swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, all of which were silver ingots of ten taels and one ingots, peeked at Liu Dutou, and found that he turned his back obediently, looked at a sheathed short sword hanging behind the iron door in a daze, nodded with satisfaction, quickly opened the rest of the boxes and inspected them, clapped his hands and said to Liu Dutou: "Take back the six hundred yuan you sent, this official has never accepted bribes, and temporarily accepted it to let you rest assured, Now it has been proved that you are a rare warrior, and in addition to suffering heavy losses in Dousha Pass, you can also lead the villagers to kill countless enemies, and your loyalty and courage are commendable, wait for it, a Jiupin County can't escape. ”

Liu Dutou was overjoyed, bowed his head, knocked his head on the bang, Hou Ruhai smiled more and more happily, pointed to the short sword hanging behind the door and said to him: "I will give it to you when I see that you like the short sword, this official can't see the murderer, this thing is unlucky." "Humble duty is a person who eats swords, where there will be a lot of exquisiteness, how dare you not accept the reward of adults." Liu Dutou smiled and hugged the short sword, very happy.

This errand is the most ruthless Hou Ruhai in his life, but also the most smooth errand, not only won a Hou Qingtian's reputation in Dousha County, but also helped his chief prefect to eliminate a catastrophe, he did not accept a copper from the gentry of the people of Dousha County, but rewarded a lot of people, and donated his half a year to help the people of Dousha County rebuild their homes, from the Xiao family confiscated a total of 1,300 yuan and 76 yuan, these thieves are to be escorted into the treasury, no one is allowed to use a cent.

After staying in Dousha County for three days, Hou Qingtian, who was not ignorant of accidents, left Dousha County with six boxes of native products given by the people and led the army, leaving only 500 soldiers to guard Dousha Pass.
