More than an hour passed, and Zhou Tong finally came back: "The corpse capital was thrown into the back mountain, and the Zhuangzi was also slightly cleaned up. ”

Cao Chuan pretended to glance at it, nodded, and began to move, asking as he walked, "It seems to be a big victory?" ”

Zhou Tong's face was excited: "It's a big victory, the brothers killed and wounded twelve people in a row, the armor of Mr. Cheng is sharp, the head is invulnerable, and there are still people who plan to fight to the death in the white guys, and they all disperse after being hacked to death." ”

Speaking of which, Uncle Zhou, who had always been holding the shelf, could no longer hold back the agitated mood and laughed.

Walking to the gate of Baizhuang, dozens of Hengtang villagers were carrying bricks and stones to block the door, and one house in the village could be seen that had been demolished, and many people were carrying stones and timber to the door. Zhou Tong took Cao Chuan inside, and explained: "Block the village gate before it gets dark, and make up a new door tomorrow." ”

Cao Chuan wondered: "The opponent has been wiped out, what are you doing in a hurry to block the door?" ”

Zhou Tong sneered: "The big worm is gone, and the wild dogs are also going to eat people." Mr. might as well look at it, in less than two days, the Hu family will come to someone, the door is blocked, the one who comes is a smiling person, the blockage is not strict, the five or seven hundred Ding Zhuang may not be able to come to do the right thing for the sky. ”

As soon as Cao Chuan said this, he understood, a little ashamed, and felt that his strategic vision was still almost, this ancient man was not stupid at all?

Baijiazhuang is obviously much higher than the Pingfeng Village, which can be clearly seen from the quality of the houses. Most of them are brick and stone structures, and the roof has neat tiles, and the Bai family compound in the center is even more magnificent, with white walls and gray tiles, hanging corners and cornices, which is similar to the landlord's house he saw in the studio.

After entering, there were large blood stains along the way, and broken knives and guns were still everywhere.

The Bai family's house has a total of three entrances, the innermost one is the inner courtyard, and the middle one is more important, and the treasury is here. When they came in, they saw that there were a lot of people in the courtyard, the doors of the wings on both sides were wide open, and Chu Jianli was taking people to count the goods.

Cao Chuan didn't feel interesting when he looked at it, just some porcelain, cloth, and salt goods. Chu Jianli saw that Mr. was not interested, so he took him to the door of the smallest wing room in the courtyard, pushed the door open and walked in.

This time, Mr. Cao came to the spirit, there were more than a dozen large and small boxes in the house, the lids were all lifted, and the big boxes were full of silver and copper coins, except for a small one, which was a box of gold bars.

When I picked up a gold bar, I didn't have the feeling of jewels in the gold shop, the color was dark, and the purity was not high. Seeing that Cao Chuan was interested in this thing, Chu Jianli hurriedly introduced: "The total amount is six hundred and eighty taels, which is about the batch of gold that Hu San said, and some of Baizhuang's own savings. ”

Cao Chuan smiled and nodded: "It's just that this gold has some use, you can buy some things when you send it back, Kunlun silver is not short, I will send a batch of it back, it is always more valuable than this box of gold, and it will not be difficult for you to do." ”

Zhou Tong listened anxiously on the side, and hurriedly said: "If you can break the village today, you can use Mr. Zhuang's sharp magic weapon." Even according to the rules of the road, the gentleman should also have a large share, and no one in the village is dissatisfied. What's more, those swords and armor are all worth no money, so don't make it difficult for me to wait, sir. ”

When Cao Chuan heard this, he pushed the boat down the river, laughed and put away the box containing gold, and then didn't bother people to count the loot, and went around alone after choosing a side room, leaving Zhao Si to clean up.

I started to eat when I held the lamp, and today I was much more generous, anyway, I was generous to others. The rice in the Bai family's barn, the bacon and chicken on the eaves, the cauldron is mixed, and even the villagers who came with Hengtang are not limited, half of the people can also drink wildly, and the other half, including those on night duty, also get a bowl.

More than a dozen candles lit up the lobby, and Cao Chuan heard faint cheers from outside from time to time, but his attention was focused on Chen Erye's battle summary in front of him.

Most of the people in Baizhuang were killed or captured, and one from Taihu Lake did not run, mainly because the terrain was unfamiliar. The old people in the village ran away from the back mountain, and five or six fell to their deaths, and more than 100 survived. Seven or eight meat tickets were rescued, most of them were foot traders, and they were all in charge of food at the moment.

Zhou Tong also sighed when he heard this: "How many days have we not tied up a meat ticket?" They all asked for details, and tomorrow they sent someone to take them to the official road, and if a merchant passed by, they sent them away. ”

Seeing Chen Huoding nodded, Zhou Tong continued: "The rest are closed, don't feed them, just give some water, don't the Hu family want heads, take the silver in exchange." ”

Zhou Tong said this, looked at Cao Chuan, coughed and added: "Mr. is also spending a lot of money this time, when the Hu family comes, if you can ask for gold, you don't need silver, you have to make up for the deficit for Mr." ”

When Cao Chuan heard this, he opened his mouth and asked, "The reward of these thieves is not low?" ”

Chu Jianli explained: "Mr. doesn't know, the uncle and the second master were both wanted by the government back then, and we can't make a move on these heads." is to send it to the official, and you can't get a few rewards after seven deductions and eight folds. The Hu family is different, the reward of silver is a trivial matter, and it is a great achievement to capture so many thieves at one time, there are people in the Hu family, who can share the credit on the official face, and can also get a good relationship with the official gentry of Taihu Lake, which is a lot more beneficial than rewarding silver. ”

Seeing Cao Chuan nodding, Chu Jianli then began to report, how much rice and grain, how much official silver, how much copper money, and how much groceries...... For a long time, Zhou Tong listened with relish, and the real person and Chen Huoding were drowsy.

Finally, after the report, everyone began to discuss the last topic, how to deal with this Baijiazhuang.

Cao Chuan didn't say a word, the person he was going to leave soon, what to do with this Zhuangzi had nothing to do with him, Zhou Tong and the others began to discuss it passionately.

This time, the screen village mobilized all the people who could fight in the mountains, and soon sent a group of people back, and the remaining manpower was not enough to open the base.

The mountain fields near Baizhuang have long been destroyed by the flood, and they have been damaged for many years, and they cannot support farmers. The terrain is dangerous, and it is definitely not okay to leave it to others, and in the end, the result of everyone's discussion can only be demolished.

The bricks, tiles and timber in the village are all good things, and they must be removed. Throw all the remaining earth and rocks down, fill in the gap between the stone path and the gable at the entrance, and prevent future troubles, and no one will have the idea of fighting here in the future.

Chu Maosheng calculated, the amount of work is not small, fortunately, this time there are many gains, it is cheap Hengtang Village, the materials are pulled back to renovate the village, and the rice grain is used to collect the servants to work.

Discussed here, the matter was basically solved, Zhou Tong took the initiative to consult Cao someone after the meeting for the first time, and asked him if he had any opinions, Cao Chuan said that everyone was tired today, and it was not too late to discuss something tomorrow, so he said hello and went back to sleep.

Lying on the bed, someone's mind is very confused, the blood on his own hands, his future plans, the strange visionary mountain bandits, these things are intertwined in his mind, and he can't sleep peacefully.

He didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, and when he came to the lobby, Zhou Tong and the others had been busy all morning. The first batch of Daling mountain bandits who returned to their hometowns had already set off, and the big loads and small bags were shipped back, and when they arrived at the land, these people had to rely on their shoulders to carry a part of the grain and silver up the mountain, which was also quite hard.

After that, there was a long transfer process, and the people and bandits had to work hard until the Baizhuang was emptied and demolished. Zhou Tong is also in high spirits, according to him, the current situation in the screen village is very good, and everyone can go to Lin'an County in batches to have fun in the future, this happiness came too suddenly.

Cao Chuan just wanted to criticize Uncle Zhou's mentality of being rich and peaceful, and the messenger came: Hu Sanhu, the housekeeper, and two companions had come to the gate of the village.

Steward Hu was still very angry, and before he crossed the second door, a long laugh came: "A few people have done a lot of things." I just went down the mountain yesterday, and today I have tea in the lobby of the Bai family, my lord still doesn't believe it, if Hu San didn't come here in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it, hehe, hehe. ”

Zhou Tong also got up and laughed, beckoning Steward Hu to sit down. After Hu San sat down, he didn't say a few words, and began to ask everyone how they built Baizhuang, all of them were old rivers and lakes, and Hu San didn't ask anything, so he could only formally explain his intentions.
