Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cellar of Chu Dahu's Family
An hour later, Chu Mansion Study.
"Humph! Servant Puer, who gave you the courage to dare to join forces with the barbarians to rob my Chu Mansion? Chu Dunji was on the high couch in the study, looking at Wen Cheng with a smile on his face.
Holding the torch, Wen Cheng smiled coldly: "It's just each other." Chu Gong and the bandits of the Big Wolf Mountain, I'm afraid the friendship is also very good, right? If the mountain bandits are green and yellow, you are afraid that you will not give them less money and food! The bandits also robbed the big families and rich businessmen in the past for you, right? ”
"Presumptuous! You are a big fart and a small official, how dare you slander the old man? The angry Chu Dun slapped the table: "The old man wants to sue the assassination of Shifu!" sue the court..."
"You don't have a chance. Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, don't say you don't understand, let alone say you haven't done it. ”
Wen Cheng beckoned and summoned Wu Liang: "How many gasps are there in this Chu Mansion?" ”
Wu Liang, whose face was covered with black paint, replied: "Back to the second uncle, there are seven female dependents locked up in the embroidery building in the backyard; The rest of the servants, who fled and died, were gone; The children of the Chu family, the remaining five who were hacked and killed by the barbarians, were locked up in the firewood room. ”
"What about the barbarians?"
"The barbarians have fled now, and there is still the sound of fighting in the distance, presumably the brothers outside are intercepting and killing."
"Let the brothers go and open the granary, throw some grain, and scatter the copper coins at the gate and in the front yard..."
"My lord, this lord, the old man still has a granddaughter to be in the boudoir, and she looks like a fairy; It's a descendant! Originally, it was planned to dedicate to Liu Tingshi, Liu Zhijun... It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it's good to serve adults today? ”
That Chu Dun already felt very bad, and hurriedly said: "The old man still has a little way to go in the state and in Luoyang!" My lord, the old man will definitely protect you! My lord..."
Zhao Er wiped it with a knife, and the study was peaceful from then on
Wen Cheng picked up the pen on the desk, walked to the four walls, and tapped carefully; He ordered a large clay bowl to be brought and put on the wall to listen carefully.
Soon, he pointed to one side of the wall: "Here, smash it open!" ”
Bing Yong hurriedly found a hammer, a rake, and a hoe, and Ping Pong smashed a big hole in that wall!
Raising the torch and shining a photo, Huang Cancan brightened everyone's dog eyes...
Wen Cheng stepped into the sandwich, and saw that on the wooden frame, there were a lot of gold cakes and copper coins; Silver ingots are available.
took the hoe in Bing Yong's hand and chopped the ground with a clanging clang; Wu Liang put the clay pot upside down on the green brick and listened close to his ear: "Second uncle, this is it!" ”
snatched the hoe and began to dig the ground; Wen Cheng raised his hand and stopped Wu Liang: "Your cellar, you have to dig it every time you go in?" ”
Wu Liang reacted at this time, and smiled embarrassedly: "When I saw gold and silver, I was fascinated, and my brain was also confused!" ”
Wen Cheng continued to knock on the ground, and Wu Liang continued to listen to the echo; Gradually I noticed that the echo was heading towards the wall; Wen Cheng stretched out his head out of the hole and looked at it, pointing to the sturdy and bulky bed: "Lift that bed away!" ”
~~~~
Entering the cellar, today's Wencheng only knows what is called "Wang"!
Although the cellar can't be called a sea of gold and silver, it really blinds the eyes of many people!
Chen Xiang asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, why is this Chu family's family property so huge?" ”
Wen Cheng smiled: "Although the house of the Chu family is old, if you look at these pillars are all good wood, it shows that his family had a huge property a long time ago; The trees in the yard are all hugging and thick, indicating that the Chu family has settled here for many generations; The furniture is all sandalwood and nan wood, and the carving is exquisite; This kind of person is really rich!
The house is new, the tree is small, and the picture scroll is new, either the nouveau riche or the new noble; How can that kind of family compare to this kind of official family that has accumulated several generations or dozens of generations? ”
I saw that on the wooden shelves in the cellar, the title deeds, house deeds, slave deeds, and IOUs; There are countless shops in the city, such as sales contracts and mansions; In the city of Chengdu, the Chu family has more than a dozen shops!
In the corner of the cellar, there are several frames of limestone, which are used to protect against moisture.
Wen Cheng glanced at the deed and ordered Zhao Er to scatter the slave deed and IOU outside the gate of Chu Mansion; Then he took out a title deed of a shop in Yuechi County and said to Wu Liang:
"Make a note of this shop, take people to requisition this grain shop and salt shop, and drive out all the shopkeepers;
It is said that it is on the orders of Lord Shi.
Tell them again that the Chu clan is full of people, and all of them have died in barbarian looting; In this way, they have no fear of the head of the house; I don't have the confidence to confront and sue;
These people, naturally, will roll up the goods in the shop, scatter in a hurry, and escape separately!
Then you hurried back to meet the cart that carried the money, and put all the money and silk in this shop, only there was enough room; If it is stored in the barracks, it will inevitably lead to the greed of the county lieutenant Shi. ”
Wu Liang replied: "Second uncle, what should I do with the daughters of the back house and the children of the Chu family in the firewood room?" Do you want to kill them all? ”
Wen Cheng shook his head and smiled: "You, you still don't understand the ugliness of human nature!" ”
Then, Wen Cheng explained to Wu Liang why he didn't worry about the troubles that would be left behind...
~~~~~
Wen Cheng said to Wu Liang:
"When we leave, tomorrow morning, the farmers in the slaves, apprentices, and Chujiazhuang will naturally come to pick up the leaks.
At first, they would come and check it out in fear
When they see the deeds of sale, slave deeds, and IOUs all over the ground, they will definitely find their respective receipts and tear them to shreds!
Seeing the grain, copper coins, and corpses at the door again, how can I not know that the Chu family is finished...
When they enter the Chu Mansion again, these poor people who are not worth ten cents will definitely snatch all the things in the Chu Mansion and everything that can be moved home!
People, once the devil in my heart is released, he will do even more ruthless things!
Those remnants of the Chu family can only watch as the poor ghosts who are inferior to themselves on weekdays and are willing to beat and kill them loot their homes.
Guess what, will these apprentices and slaves who have snatched their eyes tear apart these living Chu disciples? ”
Whether those people will tear apart the children of the Chu family, Wen Cheng doesn't know.
But I understand the dreams of these people: to divide the landlord's land, divide the landlord's house, sleep in the landlord's bed, and carry the landlord's wife and daughter to their own home!
These people will inevitably light a fire in the fall...
~~~~~
This Chu family still has the children of officials outside, and after receiving the news for a while, he will naturally rush back to deal with the aftermath.
It is unlikely that tenants, slaves, and apprentices will divide the land of the Chu family and the house of the Chu family.
But these people robbed the Chu family's grain and belongings, and they will definitely destroy those "human certificates" in the firewood room and the small building!
In the end, it was all pushed to the poor and notorious "Ban Yu Man".
But they would never say: there were officers and soldiers involved
This is because: all the brains are pushed to professional robbery, and the elusive banban is the safest and most unverifiable!
And, it's really Ban Yuman attacking Chu Mansion...
The officers and soldiers who rescued Chu Mansion came after Chu Mansion was breached for a long time.
These people must understand: If the officials and soldiers are involved, then they will go through the procedure of "trial and confrontation" -- who can chop up hundreds of officers and soldiers without trying to find out who is ugly?
What's more, these officials and soldiers rescued the officials of the neighboring water township
Meritorious service!
Let the officials in the township stand up and help testify against these officials and soldiers? It's impossible to think about.
If you dare to pull out the officials and soldiers, you can't cover up the things you have missed.
There is zero risk of pushing it to Ban Yuman, and it is a big trouble to pull out the officers and soldiers!
Hugh should underestimate these people at the bottom, their survival wisdom.
Hehe, I owe the Chu family a "donkey rolling" debt for several generations, and I don't have to pay it back in the future!
This is not a day to worry about mortgages, beautiful ......
~~~~~
Master Shi stayed in the platform of the neighboring water town that night.
There are many people touting, wine pouring, and Mei Ji hugging, of course Master Shi will not rush back to the county seat overnight.
The stars blew violently like the moon, like the exploits of the Shi people, far surpassing the 28 generals of Guangwu Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty; It has to be the famous generals of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guangli and others, to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Shi...
I have to say, this feels like a savior, it's really cool!
The fly in the ointment is... Then Wen Cheng, why did he chop up Gao Duyou's cousin?
Never mind! The head can't be put back; Tomorrow, how to get yourself out of this disaster?
Wen Cheng ordered everyone overnight to load the Chu family's wealth and silk into a car and transfer it to the county seat; A few more bags of grain are pressed on top.
He also deliberately poked a few small holes in the sacks containing grain, pretending to be transporting military rations to the county seat.
The people of Chujiazhuang are hiding in the quilt and shivering in the water tank. At the gate of Chu's house, the sergeant holding a bright sword and spear was shouting loudly, asking everyone to wait, and not to hinder the official army from encircling and suppressing the barbarians!
Otherwise, they will all be judged as "bandits"!
There are almost no paups who dare to peek through the crack in the door.

When I returned to Yuechi County, it was already my son; Now that Master Shi is not in the county, the magistrate of Yuechi has long hid in the county temple and has not come out for many days; Among the officers and soldiers defending the city, they are the largest and the most ruthless; The small school guarding the city was busy opening the city gate and putting in Wen Cheng and others.
Wang Ba pushed open the guards at the city gate: "The barbarians have been destroyed, and there has been no war in the near future." Wait and rest, and come back tomorrow morning to change the guard! Here, a certain family takes over; Those patrol soldiers, go and rest! ”
The guards at the city gate were relieved to hear that the invading had been defeated; Ba had to stay up all night to guard the city! He ordered the sergeants at the head of the city to quickly change the guard, and let the hundreds of sergeants brought back by Wang Ba be on duty.
When the changing of the guard is completed, the previous patrol sergeants have finished changing their guards; Wen Cheng just held a torch and turned around the city a few times, beckoning the convoy hidden in the distance to enter the city...
~~~~
On the second day, Shi Shilang, who stayed in the "Cuihong Mansion Tent", didn't sleep until three poles in the morning, so he came to find Wen Cheng with a pair of panda eyes and a whole body: "Wen Jia Erlang, ah, it's hard work." And report to me, what are the results of the battle in the neighboring water town? ”
Wen Cheng looked at the person in front of him, dressed exactly like his brother Shi, and posed with a "I am the biggest here" and complacent burnt buns, he couldn't cry or laugh.
Wen Cheng saluted the shell Lang with a ridiculous face: "Back to the top ten people, yesterday there was a battle near the water, and more than 600 barbarians were exterminated; Real numbers: two hundred and seventy beheadings, three hundred and sixty-three prisoners. I don't know how Lord Shi plans to report to the Overseer Xiao, the Governor of Yizhou, and the Central Captain's Mansion? ”
"Of course, it's doubling the report, isn't it all the same! This great victory is all my brother's command and good scheduling; And as a gentleman, he did not hesitate to wear heavy armor and go to the front line of the counterinsurgency battlefield... Hey, Wen Jia Erlang, are you kidding me? ”
Shi Shiro is smashing the taste...
