When County Lieutenant Li and his people were chasing after the gang of thieves, they suddenly heard a frightened news.

Jiaxing City was unexpectedly breached by a gang of thieves.

After hearing the news, County Lieutenant Li led his army to rush back in spite of the fatigue of the soldiers and the inconvenience of marching at night.

His family is still in the city, who knows if those thieves will be so brutal as to kill innocents.

County Lieutenant Li urged the army to advance quickly, and when he arrived at Jiaxing City, suddenly a drum sounded, and flags were erected on the head of the city.

Zhu Tong fought out of the city, and Li Zhong fought out from behind the Song soldiers, attacking inside and outside.

Zhu Tong flew out with a horizontal knife and took County Lieutenant Li directly. After less than two rounds of fighting, he was beheaded by Zhu Tong and Li County Lieutenant under the horse.

The Liangshan army took advantage of the situation to rush and kill for a while, and the Song soldiers were defeated, and all but a few escaped.

In the Jiaxing City Mansion, Zhu Tong didn't take off his armor, so he approached directly to report to Xu Guanzhong. "Mr. Xu's clever calculation, this Jiaxing City was easily conquered by our army!"

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "All this must rely on General Zhu's bravery, otherwise it would be impossible to capture the city so easily." General Zhu, now that Jiaxing City has been conquered by our army, in order to avoid Haiyan City being prepared after knowing the news, I also ask General Zhu to take advantage of the victory to attack Haiyan County! ”

Zhu Tong shouted happily: "Mr. Xu, is Haiyan County also transferring them out according to the old method?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "No." You can't use one method twice at the same time. This time, General Zhu directly led his troops to conquer Haiyan City. General Zhu can ...... like this"

Zhu Tong nodded when he heard it and said, "Okay, without further ado." Let the brothers rest for a day, and tomorrow I will lead my troops to attack Haiyan! ”

After taking Jiaxing City, Zhu Tong left the deputy general Li Zhong to lead a thousand infantry for Xu Guanzhong to drive, and he led another 1,000 soldiers and horses, and then killed Haiyan City.

After Zhu Tong led the troops away, Xu Guanzhong counted the spoils of war and had a deeper understanding of the situation in Jiaxing City.

After counting the warehouses in the city, Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but sigh. Jiangnan is really rich!

Xu Guanzhong asked someone to invite Li Zhong and said, "Captain Li, there are a lot of materials in this Jiaxing City, which is exactly what our army urgently needs. You immediately send someone to escort all these supplies to the Zhoushan Islands, and then let General Li and General Zhang take them with them on their return journey and transport them to the marshal's side! ”

Li Zhong nodded when he heard it and said, "Okay, I'll ask Zhou Tong to do it!" ”

Xu Guanzhong continued: "I also want to ask Captain Li to order five hundred soldiers to do something with me!" ”

Li Zhong said: "No problem, but Mr. Xu, dare to ask what you want five hundred soldiers to do, it's not that you can't trust Mr., it's just that the marshal has set the rules early on, but all the mobilization of soldiers and horses must be recorded in the case so that you can check it later!" ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "We are thieves now, as thieves, if we don't do some things to rob homes and houses, how can we be called thieves who do all kinds of evil!" ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Guanzhong took 500 of his men. These 500 subordinates all chose the kind of guy who looked fierce and evil, and was a bad guy, and visited a gentry in Jiaxing City-the Gu family!

said that it was a visit, but it was just Xu Guanzhong's own statement.

Since Jiaxing City was conquered by thieves, those gentry and wealthy families have closed their doors.

Xu Guanzhong didn't even knock on the door, and directly asked his subordinates to carry the bumper wood and directly hit the door of the Gu Mansion.

The gate was smashed open, and Xu Guanzhong left three hundred people to block the front and back doors of the Gu Mansion, and entered with two hundred mermaids.

Xu Guanzhong directly led people into the middle hall of Gujiadi, sat on the right position, crossed Erlang's legs, knocked on the case and shouted: "What about people, where are all the people dead." I didn't see any distinguished guests come to the door, and no one even served tea. Is this the hospitality of the family? ”

Hearing the shout, Gu Xuanhua, the head of the Gu family, hurriedly walked out and said respectfully: "I didn't know that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, and he was neglected." Quick, serve a few good tea! ”

Soon a family member stepped forward tremblingly, put down a bowl of tea, and ran away quickly.

Xu Guanzhong picked up the tea bowl, didn't even look at Gu Xuanhua, and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Gu Xuanhua lowered her head and said busily and respectfully: "Adult, the little one is Gu Xuanhua, the head of this family!" I don't know what happened to the adult coming to the door today? ”

Xu Guanzhong squinted at Gu Xuanhua at this time, and shouted expressionlessly: "Now that the Holy Justice is fighting against the Song army, he needs the full support of your squires." Shouldn't you show your faithfulness to the Father? ”

As soon as Gu Xuanhua heard it, she knew that it was really this kind of trouble. He stubbornly asked, "Of course we support the Holy Father, and I don't know what we have to do to show our loyalty?" ”

When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he smiled and said, "That's right!" My general said that we are all followers of the Holy Father, and we are all family. Since you are a family, of course I won't embarrass you. Your Chen family will give 100,000 taels or 30,000 quintals of grain! ”

"What! 100,000 taels of silver, 30,000 loads of grain! What a man! We ordinary people have so much silver and food there! Gu Xuanhua shouted anxiously.

Xu Guanzhong stood up when he heard the angry slap on the table, and shouted: "You don't fool Lao Tzu, your Gu family is also an ordinary family?" Who doesn't know that your Gu family has thousands of acres of land outside the city, and there are more than 30 shops in the city. You have to have an income of 180,000 yuan a month, and now Lao Tzu just wants you to donate 100,000 taels, so I'll fucking complain again. Do you not support the Holy Father, do you want to go against our Holy Father, and want to be a lackey of the court? ”

Gu Xuanhua saw that Xu Guanzhong was angry, and hurriedly shouted: "No, absolutely nothing." The small ones are Manichaeans, and the little ones carry tokens with them! ”

Seeing Gu Xuanhua take out the pendant of Da Mingzun from his arms, Xu Guanzhong's face softened a lot.

He said: "Since you are also a follower of Manichaeism, you should support the cause of the Holy Father. Only the Holy Father is the messenger of the Great Ming Zun in the world, and only he can lead everyone to drive away the darkness and lead everyone to the light! ”

Gu Xuanhua nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, what the adults said is right." But there really aren't that many small ones! ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at Gu Xuanhua and shouted, "Really not? ”

Gu Xuanhua shouted: "The old man can swear to God, there really is not so much!" My lord, please raise your noble hand and let the little one go! ”

Xu Guanzhong looked around and asked, "Then how much can your Gu family come up with?" ”

Gu Xuanhua hesitated for a moment and shouted, "The small one can only contribute three thousand silver at most!" ”

Xu Guanzhong shouted angrily: "Three thousand taels, you are going to send Huazi!" Come on, search for me. Gu Yuanwai, let me tell you, if you let Lao Tzu find tens of thousands of taels of silver, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite, men are pulled to do forced labor, women. Hum! ”

Seeing this gang of thieves, he was about to go to the inner courtyard of his house, if he let these dog thieves see that his family had a bad heart, then the Gu family would not face a catastrophe.

Gu Xuanhua hurriedly pulled Xu Guanzhong and shouted, "My lord spare your life!" My lord, 100,000 taels, my Gu family really can't afford it! ”

Xu Guanzhong snorted and shouted: "You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, a price, 50,000 taels!" ”

"My lord, it's really not good, 10,000 taels ......"

"Don't haggle with me. 50,000 taels, one less son, Lao Tzu will demolish your Gu family! Xu Guanzhong shouted impatiently.

"Adult ......"

"Brothers, do it!"

"Don't, don't, don't ......, my lord, I'll give, I'll give!" Gu Xuanhua died all the way, and her father and mother cried and shouted.

Xu Guanzhong shouted: "Outside Gu Yuan, this is not something I forced you to do. This is your initiative to donate 50,000 taels of silver to the Holy Father to support the Holy Battlefield! ”

Gu Xuanhua said with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, the little one took the initiative to donate money to support the Holy Father!" ”

Xu Guanzhong sat down again with satisfaction and said, "Outside the Gu Yuan, why don't you hurry up and prepare the silver." You know, we're a bunch of rough people, and we don't have much patience. It's late, and I can't guarantee what's going to happen! ”

When Gu Xuanhua heard this, she could only resign herself to her fate and walked into the inner courtyard warehouse, and taught the family to move out the boxes of the Chen family's savings for many years.

Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount, in order to make up so much, the Gu family took out the copper coins, gold and silverware, and these gold and silver were piled up in the courtyard, piled up like a hill.

There are about tens of thousands of copper coins, and it is difficult to calculate the price of gold and silverware, so Xu Guanzhong can only roughly estimate that the total value of this pile of gold and silver is about forty or fifty thousand taels of silver.

Xu Guanzhong knows that this money is not all of the Gu family, but this is probably the bottom line of the Gu family, no matter how much he wants, he is afraid that the Gu family will have to work hard.

Xu Guanzhong stood up and patted Gu Xuanhua on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Gu Yuanwai is indeed a loyal disciple of our sect, rest assured, the Holy Sect will not forget you believers." Yes, this is a token given by the Holy Father to those believers who truly believe in the Great Ming Zun. As long as you hang at the gate, absolutely no one will dare to make trouble again, so as to ensure the safety and health of your whole family and a happy life! ”

Xu Guanzhong stuffed a rough mahogany sign that was temporarily made into Gu Xuanhua's hand, and shouted: "Okay, little ones, quickly carry this silver onto the ox cart, let's go!" ”

Gu Xuanhua stood at the door with the housekeeper and sent Xu Guanzhong and them away with a smile on his face, and when he saw them walk into the corner and couldn't see anyone.

Gu Xuanhua's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, and he asked someone to close the broken gate, and then blocked it with a heavy object.

Gu Xuanhua walked into the middle hall, slammed the peach wood card in his hand on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Damn dog thief, it's too much of a deception!" The old man is incompatible! Gu Rong! ”

The butler hurriedly shouted, "Master, what's the matter!" ”

Gu Xuanhua said with a cold face: "Wait a minute, I will repair a book, and you will send someone to secretly send it to General Wang of Hangzhou." Remember to be careful, don't let those thieves know, understand? ”

The butler nodded and said, "Yes, the little one understands!" That master, what to do with this talisman? ”

Gu Xuanhua scolded: "What else can I do, of course it's hanging at the gate!" Otherwise, what if those dog thieves come again? ”

"Little one got it!"

……

After Xu Guanzhong brought the gold and silver back to the county government and put them in the warehouse, he made a list according to the situation in the household and field books, as well as the news found out by Liangshan's secret agents.

He took 500 people according to the names on this list, one by one, but none of the squire families with heads and faces in Jiaxing City were spared, and the amount of forcible extortion ranged from tens of thousands to thousands.

It's not that there are no families who want to resist, but the two families who want to fight against each other have been thrown into the cell by Xu Guanzhong and guarded.

Of course, their family property and everything were all looted by Xu Guanzhong, and not even a copper plate was left for these two families.

In just three days, Xu Guanzhong led people to loot nearly 300,000 taels of silver, 100,000 quintals of grain, 20,000 catties of pig iron, 300 pairs of armor, and more than 70 horses from Jiaxing County.

The marshal ate meat, and Li Zhong also drank some soup with him.

Thinking of the more than 600 taels of silver that he had secretly looted back in the past few days, Li Zhong said to Xu Guanzhong with a smile: "Mr. Xu still has a way, and the marshal is too merciful." If the marshal had done the same in Shandong, I am afraid that we would have raised hundreds of thousands of troops a long time ago, and we would have conquered the Beijing division long ago! ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "Impossible, this is different from Shandong, which is governed by the marshal, so it naturally treats the people well and wins the hearts of the people." We didn't think about staying here for a long time here from the beginning, not to mention that we are in the name of Fang La, so we don't have to worry about this, anyway, when these wealthy gentry want to complain about Fang La, what does it have to do with the marshal? ”

When Li Zhong heard it, he felt that it was too. Anyway, it's not his own territory, so why bother with him, it's a big deal!

Li Zhong asked, "Mr. Xu, we don't want to stay here for a long time anyway, so why don't we just confiscate all the property of these squires' families?" ”

Li Zhong thought that he had done it anyway, so it was better to simply do it, so that he could make more money.

Xu Guanzhong explained with a smile: "If we rob all their family property, it won't be their lives, and they won't all fight with us." None of these families had a few hundred bankers, and if they were united, they might have seven or eight thousand people. Although we are not afraid of these people, there is no need to provoke them, so as not to add to the accident. It's not very good now, they didn't fight to the death, and we also got a lot of money! ”

When Li Zhong heard this, he frowned and said, "But if we forcibly ask for so much property, they should also hold a grudge and find a way to deal with us!" ”

Xu Guanzhong laughed when he heard it, "Hahaha...... They're not thinking, they're already acting! I'm afraid that many families have sent people to Hangzhou to report the news! ”

Li Zhong shouted in surprise when he heard this: "Mr. Xu, let me take someone to slaughter those guys who dare to secretly report the news." It scares them! ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "No need." At the beginning, our army attacked Jiaxing City not to transfer the defenders of Hangzhou City. Now they send people to ventilate and report the news, and they don't correct our underbelly! ”

In order to keep it secret, Li Zhong did not know the purpose of Zhu Tong and Xu Guanzhong's attack on Jiaxing City before.

Now when he heard that the Song army was going to be transferred to Hangzhou City, Li Zhong was surprised and said: "What, Mr. Xu, there are 20,000 troops in Hangzhou, but there are only 1,000 people left in Jiaxing City by our army. If Hangzhou sends a large army to come, I'm afraid of ......"

Xu Guanzhong said calmly: "Captain Li, don't be surprised! Anyway, this Jiaxing City, we should have searched all the places, and it would be meaningless for us to continue to stay here. Just send it back to the imperial court! ”

Li Zhong asked suspiciously, "Then Mr. Xu, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Haiyan, compared to General Zhu, you should conquer Haiyan City!" ()
