It wasn't until the next morning that Zengtou City, which had been fighting all night, finally quieted down. After all the stubborn villagers were either annihilated or captured alive by several mountain soldiers and horses, Xiao Tang immediately sent people to appease the people of Li in the city, saying that this time the first evil in Zengtou City had been eliminated, and the people under his command did not want to wash all the villages and squares in the territory and go to rob innocent people from house to house.

After all, the gold and silver treasures plundered from the Zeng family's mansion alone have reached more than 2.4 million yuan, 600,000 stone of rice and wheat grain, nearly 10,000 head of cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock, more than 1,000 horses, mules and donkeys, and more than 3,500 horses for conquest and killing......

The money, food, and materials seized from this place in Zengtou City are worth the income of the ten ordinary bullies. This is not unusual, after all, Zengtou City is the Great Song Dynasty Territory, second only to Xiao Jiaji to raise horses, sell horses to make a fortune, and the horses themselves are extremely lacking in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are priceless important resources in the market, not to mention that in order to suppress Xiao Jiaji, Zengtou City not only made all the money to the Daimyo Mansion and the Dezhou government, but also used money to make money, and tried to snatch Xiao Tang's various businesses in Hebei and Shandong to make a living......

However, in the end, it was still cheaper for Xiao Tang.

Last night, Zeng Nong, the lord of Zengtou City, finally learned that the strongman who led several mountains of people and horses to attack Zengtou City turned out to be Xiao Tang, who had tried his best to deal with it and replaced his position as the number one powerful in Hebei Territory, Zeng was stunned, and then he laughed like crazy, and shouted: "I see! I see! One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, since you are not dead, either you Khitan dog should die, or our Jurchen sons will die! The surname Xiao, you don't have to be complacent, even if you kill our Zeng family, the old man will be under the Yellow Spring to see how long you can be rampant!? ”

He was so mad that he screamed and cursed, so he slammed his head against the wall and killed himself. Since then, the five tigers of the Zeng family and the six fathers and sons of Zeng Rong have all died, and the name of Zengtou City in the Hebei boundary of the Great Song Dynasty has been completely eliminated.

Of course, Xiao Tang felt a little regretful, and Xi Sheng, who was ordered by Xiao Tang to cut off the road to Xizhai and Beizhai in Zengtou City, reported to him that Shi Wengong, the head of the gun and stick sect in Zengtou City, fled to the west single-handedly, but he was hitting the large array set up by Xi Sheng and the people of Funiu Mountain and Bear's Ears Mountain. Shi Wengong rushed left and right in the front formation, among which the color-eating tiger Teng Ji and the downhill tiger Teng Ji saw that they were going to cover the luxury, so they went out together to plan to fire and merge the fight, but Shi Wengong only fought for six or seven rounds, and then rode straight to the southwest and escaped.

Xi Sheng's formation is mainly to intercept the large group of men and horses in Zengtou City that may flee to the west and north, but first, Shi Wengong is indeed perfect in marksmanship and horsemanship, so that he can be at ease in the assault cavalry formation, and secondly, although the six-flower array laid by Xi Sheng can play a huge role in the confrontation between the two armies, but when intercepting one person and one horse, Shi Wengong only took a side with the big array, and then rushed to the direction that the military array could not cover. didn't have time to surround Shi Wengong......

So this time, Shi Wengong's gang escaped.

In addition, Su Ding, the deputy teacher of Zengtou City, was shot in the right arm and did not show up when Xiao Tang launched a full-scale general attack on Zengtou City, and his whereabouts were unknown after a night of fighting.

Xiao Tang secretly paid for Su Ding in his heart, and Shi Wengong had caused a lot of trouble to the people of Shushan after several vicious battles, and in terms of his temperament, since he had already formed these bonds with Shi Wengong, it was expected that he would never be able to willingly accept the gang.

Now that Zengtou City has been flattened, where will this Shi Wengong, who refused to join the army because of his rebelliousness, flee to? Even if he goes to a powerful Zhuang town to be a gun teacher, if he clashes with Xiao Tang's Green Forest again, now that Xiao Tang can destroy the gang in Zengtou City, he is confident that he will teach Shi Wengong to experience another fiasco.

"Brother, all the gold and silk treasures, rice and wheat grains in Zeng's mansion have been loaded onto the car, and the more than 2,300 captives in Zengtou City have all been tied up, just waiting to be escorted to Erlongshan Dazhai."

At this time, Shi Jin, Shaohuashan, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun had counted the captured money, food, and materials, as well as the number of defeated troops in Zengtou City captured after several battles, and came to report to Xiao Tang.

Among them, Shi Jin couldn't help but say angrily: "But many of the birdmen who are fighting in this Zengtou City have also gone to be the helpers of the Zeng's few birds, and it is not an exaggeration to wash this village according to me!" That is, the elder brother is benevolent and righteous, and he only arrested all the stubborn in the city, but he did not go door-to-door to loot the dealers who were doing the tigers! ”

Xiao Tang shook his head, sighed and said, "Is it the so-called forgiving and forgiving...... Most of the farmers in this Zengtou City rely on the Zeng family's strength to survive, they are either stables who live on horses for the Zeng family, or tenants who live under the name of the Zeng family's occupation of the village.

However, Zeng Lane and the five tigers of the Zeng family have been eliminated, and the title deeds that have occupied the village and occupied the land for many years are no longer of much use. Before the government or other big families covet this land, I plan to inform Xiao Jiaji, Bian Xiang, Yang Lin and other brothers to take care of it, and see if I can take over most of the land in Zengtou City, Dezhou. Since he has obtained 2.4 million yuan from Zeng's house, it is expected that the expenses spent will be enough to merge this Zeng Tou City into the name of Xiao Jiaji. ”

“...... Yes!? ”

Shi Jin grew his mouth and didn't close it halfway, as Xiao Tang acted in the green forest for a long time, even this Shi Dalang almost forgot that he, the eldest brother of righteousness, had another layer of identity walking on the official plane!

At that time, after Xiao Tang was the vanguard department to conquer the Zhang Di bandit rebellion in Zhaozhou, he was handled by Yang Xu, the chief administrator under his command, while sheltering a large number of displaced people who had suffered from bandits, and at the same time, he also purchased many borderless lands under the rule of many Hebei prefectures. Because the Song Dynasty implemented the land policy of "no land system" and "no suppression of annexation", and maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards land annexation and free trade, the number of private land in the state at that time greatly exceeded that of official land (as of the period of Wang Anshi's reform, the proportion of official land in the entire Great Song Dynasty accounted for only one-seventy-fifth).

In fact, the so-called official land, that is, including state-owned land such as camps, tuntian, school fields, horse ranches, etc., the court of the Song Dynasty will also transform the official fields into private fields in various ways (the Song Dynasty was taxed according to the fixed amount of land area), and whether it was Xiaojiaji, or Zengtou City, the reason why it was able to annex a large amount of land and cooperate with the local government and military department to carry out military and horse transactions, was to rely on the horse market to make a big force, and also benefited from the land policy of frequent transfer of land ownership in the Song Dynasty.

Even if the Daimyo's Mansion and the Dezhou Government thought that Xiao Tang had already died in Liaodong, and had collected the benefits of the Zeng family's father and son, and turned a blind eye to Zengtou City's intention to occupy the Xiao family's various businesses, but now Zeng Rong and the five tigers of the Zeng family are all killed, and Xiao Jiaji is still one of the best local powerhouses in Hebei, not to mention that when Xiao Tang "comes back from the dead", it will not be easy for him to come forward to annex the land of Zengtou City?

But what the fuck is this? His brother destroyed the Zeng family and took away all the gold, silk, money and grain of the Zeng family, but now he plans to use it to buy the Zeng family's land, and at the same time let the Zhuang family under the name of the Zeng family work for him, which can be regarded as taking them into the village under the influence of the Xiao family......

This can basically be summarized as destroying your family, killing your baby, robbing your money to buy your land, sweeping away your power and accepting your people to be my little brother...... Even the most ferocious grass robbers in the green forest could only kill all the farmers under the rule of Zengtou City, rob all the gold, silver, grain and grass, and burn all the villages into a blank field, and the empty land was of little use to them. However, Xiao Tang can secretly use the people of the green forest to destroy Zengtou City, and on the contrary, he can use the energy on the white path to annex the entire Zengtou City, this kind of play is not more profitable than looting Zengtou City?

Shi Jin moved his lips, and stopped talking, Rao is this Shi Dalang still respects Xiao Tang very much, but he still can't help but slander now: In vain, I still praise my brother's benevolence and righteousness, it turns out that after talking about it in detail, he can still earn this great benefit!
