In the second year of Chongzhen, the third day of August.

Yang Yingchao lost all the salaries of his soldiers, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to leave the house.

He had no choice, so he secretly sent someone back to Beijing to get the silver he hid in Beijing.

It takes several days to go from Datong Mansion to Jingshi, and the soldiers under his command can't wait for such a long time.

"Are we still going to pay us?"

"Hair, definitely hair, our brothers from other departments have sent it."

The brothers of the other departments are the elite left by Wang Zezhi, and they are all under Wang Zezhi's command.

These people knew each other well, and when they did not receive the money, they went to ask them if they had paid it.

The sergeants under Wang Zezhi told them that it would be sent on the first day of the eighth month, and they should have sent it too.

If it doesn't, it's...

"It is said that eunuchs are greedy for money, our money will not be greedy by this eunuch, right?"

This person was inserted by Yu Zhong to bring the rhythm, and as soon as he spoke, all the soldiers were silent.

When a soldier fights, he pins his head to the waistband of his trousers, not for anything else, but for this little money.

Now, their salaries have been deducted, and this group of people is frying the pot all at once.

"Damn, this eunuch dares to be greedy for Lao Tzu's salary, Lao Tzu wants his life."

"That's it, that's it."

"He shouldn't dare, the salary of so many of us is not a small amount."

"Well, I saw him thrown out by the casino guys.

Only those who have lost all their money and owe the casino money will be thrown out. ”

Yu Zhong's people added fuel to the fire.

"What you said is true?"

"It's true, I saw it too." He was not the only one who saw Yang Yingchao being thrown out of the casino that day, he also had companions.

As soon as this man spoke, all the soldiers felt a fire bubbling up in their heads.

"Damn, this eunuch actually took our hard-earned money to gamble, we have to ask for an explanation."

"Yes, ask for an explanation."

"It seems that the eunuchs in the palace are very rich, and it is useless to ask for explanations, we should ask for money." The spy said.

"That's right, this is the money we paid for with our lives, and we can't just forget it."

"You can't just leave it at that."

"Brothers, let's beg for money."

"Begging for money."

The three thousand people were furious, and they rushed into Yang Yingchao's mansion with armor and knives.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

"Bang Bang Bang~"

A group of angry soldiers came to Yang Yingchao's mansion and banged on the door.

Where had the housekeeper heard such a sound, he glanced through the crack in the door in fright, turned his head and ran away.

He thought the soldiers had rebelled.

"Don't open the door, damn it, the brothers take the ladder over the wall."

One of the veterans shouted, and they quickly climbed the ladder over the wall and opened the gate from the inside.

They swarmed in and rushed to Yang Yingchao's residence.

Yang Yingchao received the news from his family, and hid under the bed to look at the menacing soldiers in the room, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

"What about people, where are you hiding, come out for Lao Tzu."

The veteran smashed in the room angrily, he searched and searched but did not find Yang Yingchao, and angrily slashed open the table in the room.

The spy planted by Yu Zhong squinted his eyes to check the beams and windows, squatted down and lifted the sheets, and found Yang Yingchao hiding under the bed.

"Found it, here." The spy said lightly.

"Hey, old boy, you're pretty good at hiding, come out for Lao Tzu." The veteran lifted him out by the collar.

"Heroes spare their lives, heroes don't kill me, don't kill me." Yang Yingchao was brought up, and looked at the room full of soldiers who were directly frightened by the and urine.

"Spare your life, say, what about the silver of Lao Tzu."

"Where's the silver?"

"Say."

The soldiers gathered around him angrily and shouted.

"The money is there, the money is there, I will send for it, and it will be there in three days."

"Why do you have to wait for three days, isn't it the first day of the new year?"

"Say, did you take our money to gamble?"

"I... I... I thought I could win it back, but I didn't expect to lose it all.

But don't worry, I will send someone to Beijing to get the silver, and the silver will be on the way here, and it will definitely arrive in three days. ”

"You can't believe the words of the gambler." The spy said intently.

Gamblers are the most undisciplined, they lose their bets, they lose their bets.

In the end, it is not enough to lose all the money, but also to borrow money from all over the place, and put the borrowed money into it.

If you think they're going to stop if they lose like that, you're very wrong.

As long as the gambler lives, he will not stop.

They are thinking all the time that they can win, return to their capital, and make a fortune.

This is the gambler, so the words of the gambler cannot be believed.

"I can't wait three days, now you have to give us silver."

"That's right, give it now."

"Give it now."

The soldiers drew their swords and stared at him with unkind expressions.

"I... I don't have it now, if it weren't for the fact that Lord General Soldier allowed me to eat in Kuixing Tower, I wouldn't even be able to afford to eat. ”

Yang Yingchao was frightened, he sat on the ground with a handful of snot and tears.

"How is it possible, you are from the palace, it is rumored that the palace is full of gold and silver, and you people are all greedy for money and good things, how can you not have silver?"

The spy squinted his eyes and said in disbelief.

"Say, where is the silver, if you don't say, Lao Tzu will kill you today." The veteran believed the secret spy's words, and lifted the knife to Yang Yingchao's neck.

"I said, I said, we have something to say, I still hide something." Yang Yingchao felt the coldness on his neck, screamed in fright, and crawled to the bottom of the yard and scraped it with his hands.

After a few gouging strokes, some pearls, jade bracelets, earrings and other objects were gouged out by him.

When the eunuch didn't say that, his psychology became distorted.

Their preference for gold, silver and jewelry has become obsessed, which is why Yang Yingchao hides some jewelry.

"Gelding, I really hid the good things." The veteran kicked Yang Yingchao away with one kick and dug out the things buried under the tree with a knife.

He dug out a bag of jewelry and divided it.

But there were 3,000 of them, and even if they took apart the pearls one by one, it would not be enough.

"Not enough, there must still be dog things, say, where did you hide the rest of your belongings?" The veteran put the knife on Yang Yingchao's neck and continued to ask.

"It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone, that's all the belongings I brought with me." Yang Yingchao said with a sad face.

"Damn, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, I say your mother, fuck!" As the veteran spoke, he stabbed Yang Yingchao into his calf.

"Whew~ah~" Yang Yingchao let out a scream that was not like a human voice.

He grabbed the flesh on his thighs with both hands in pain, hoping to reduce the pain.

The veteran pulled out his knife and spat viciously.

"Say it or not, don't say it again, I..."

The veteran raised his knife angrily and planned to stab it again, but Yang Yingchao screamed, and quickly pointed to the beam and said loudly.

"On the beams of the house, on the beams of the house~ There is gold on the beams, which is enough for you to pay your money."

The old soldier touched the beams of the house, where he had pointed, and on them were ten ingots and twenty taels of gold.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was equal to ten taels of silver.

Ten ingots and twenty taels of gold were two thousand taels of silver, and the jewels were just enough for the soldiers to pay three thousand taels of silver.

The eunuch was so greedy for money, he had to gamble with the money of the soldiers when he had gold and jewelry.

Yang Yingchao originally planned to wait for the people he sent to Jingshi to get the silver back, and then take the gold and jewelry to gamble.

He didn't expect the soldiers to gather to make trouble.
