Liu Tang said coldly: "I count to three, and all those who don't want to die will put down their weapons and squat in the corner." ”

"One, two, three." Liu Tang's expressionless voice, word by word, hit the hearts of everyone in the casino like a heavy hammer, the gamblers had long been hiding to the side, only the guards watching the field, everyone looked at the shopkeeper's screams, everyone slowly put down their weapons, obediently squatted in the corner.

A part of the people watched them, Li Kui and Liu Tang entered the inner room, four huge locks, locked the iron door, Li Kui did not go to the shopkeeper to ask for the key, in fact, the shopkeeper did not have a key, the key was in Ren Batian. Li Kuilun's axe slashed, and the bronze lock opened. Open the door to the basement, this underground chamber is actually very large, and similar to the room above, there is no musty smell common in basements.

Dozens of boxes were piled up, and when they were opened, they were filled with silver and two chests of gold. Everyone was a little dumbfounded, Li Kui pinched Liu Tang: "Are we dreaming?" ”

I roughly counted a total of fifty chests of silver and two chests of gold. They are all cast into fifty-one big ingots, and there are a total of 60,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold, and the harvest can be described as very rich.

Liu Tang said: "Have a bird dream, pinch yourself next time, and quickly move the silver up." ”

Everyone hurriedly carried the silver, and they were happy one by one.

Liu Tang muttered: "Without a carriage, how can so much gold and silver be transported." It seems that this important thing has been forgotten. ”

The man in black cloak who was followed by the intelligence department said: "Six carriages have been prepared, and they will be ready to set off as soon as they are transported." ”

Soon after the loading was completed, Liu Tang ordered a retreat. The cavalry protected the carriage and retreated quickly, and the occasional pedestrians along the street were also hurriedly avoided, and the cavalry dared to stop it.

Rencheng County is just a small county town, and soon came to the West Gate, Chao Gai, Niu Gao and others were waiting there, Liu Tang said: "The operation went smoothly, and fifty boxes of silver and two boxes of gold were confiscated." ”

"Okay, you and Li Kui will retreat immediately with the carriage, and Niu Gao will stay with me." Chao Gai said.

Chao Gai, Niu Gao, and Jiao Ting left only twenty cavalry archers and ten light cavalry. The group stayed outside the city for nearly half an hour without moving, and it seemed that they overestimated Ren Batian's reaction ability. The power of the Ren family is mainly in the county seat and Renjiazhuang, but Ren Batian is not a person who has crossed over like Chao Gai and has extremely high military knowledge, although the Ren family's hundreds of thugs say that their skills are not bad, but they have not experienced systematic training, there is no strict discipline, and they have gathered people after receiving the news and then shouted chicken feathers, I don't know how to wait until the year of the monkey.

Niu Gao said: "Brother, what are you waiting for, we can't lead people to kill it, just our thirty or so people will definitely be able to take Ren Batian's nest." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Now is not the time for us to come out, we have to endure it, it is not good for us to expose too much strength." Let's go, let's go to the docks and see how the people of the navy are doing. ”

When everyone rode to the head of the horse, the head of the horse was busy, and hundreds of people carried a bag of grain of 100 catties to the ship. Whether it's a centipede boat, a canopy boat, or a small fishing boat, it's all full. There were fifty people on the perimeter guarding the perimeter, and the dock was all surrounded.

Chao Gai arranged for Niu Gao to lead the archers to cruise in the outermost part to prevent emergencies, and he entered the dock to find Ruan Xiaoqi and others.

It was a busy scene on the wharf, Kong Yang commanded a team of 150 water guards and 200 sailors to quickly load food, and all the people who came and went were carrying sacks, and it was a big project to load grain in the years when there were no large machinery.

"How's it going?" Chao Gai asked.

Kong Yang said: "Soon, when we came, their six boats were already full of four. Awning boats and fishing boats are now being shipped, and there are up to 500,000 catties of grain. When Ruan Xiaoqi and others led the brigade to arrive, the four cargo ships on Renjia's wharf had already loaded 600,000 catties of newly harvested wheat this year, and they immediately ordered them to be detained.

"Okay, load the ship as soon as possible, you go to check and inspect again, see if there are no good things left in the warehouse, and don't leave him at all." Chao Gai said.

Kong Yang inspected the warehouse again according to Chao Gai's instructions, and found that in addition to grain, there were 10,000 catties of salt, and the rest of the 500 jars of wine were gone.

"A huge warehouse, guarded by sixty or seventy people, just put such a little thing?" Kong Yang carefully inspected, and found that the ground on the ground was different from other places in a corner of the warehouse, and immediately arrested one of the guards over, Kong Yang said: "Your master Ren Batian is full of evil, and the case personally supervised by the prefect wants to make meritorious service or follow the funeral." ”

This person didn't want to say it, but he couldn't stand Kong Yang's scare, so he stammered: "There's a button on the wall, just press it." ”

Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous button on the wall, and a tunnel came out after a press, and there was only a wooden staircase below, and there was a huge underground warehouse inside. Inside is a pile of cowhides, sheepskins, a few unclear, tens of thousands of still have to have. There are more than ten boxes of ginseng, all of which are ordinary goods, but the price of ginseng is already expensive in the Great Song Dynasty, and more than ten boxes are also worth a lot.

"Ship them all away, as fast as possible." Kong Yang commanded the team to drag the cow and sheep skins and ginseng out one after another.

On the big cargo ship of the Ren family outside, Ruan Xiaoqi arranged for people to stack the valuable ginseng separately, so as not to damage it together with the grain.

"Xiao Qi, what are you looking at?" Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaoqi looked back and saw that it was Chao Gai and Jiao Tingdao.

"It turned out to be my brother. My boat in Ren's house is really big, a boat can carry 150,000 catties, and it's no problem to add another 10,000 catties. Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Chao Gai said: "This is a big barge, with thin skin and a big belly, which is only suitable for sailing in the deep water of the river. There is only one use, and that is loading. It is not as flexible and fast as the centipede ship, and can be used as both a cargo ship and a war ship. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's a pity, six big ships can only be cargo ships." ”

"Cargo ships are just as useful, so we leave to enrich our river caravans, and use canopy boats to do nearby trade, and these big barges do long-distance trafficking. As for the big warship, don't worry, it's been more than a month since the recruitment of masters to build the warship, and it won't be long before someone comes. ”

After about half an hour, the goods were finally full, and Ruan Xiaowu, who was in charge of picking up the people from Jeju, came back and reported: "I haven't seen the shadow of anyone from Jeju yet." ”

Chao Gai immediately said: "Ruan Xiaoqi and Kong Yang can lead the fleet to return to the sea." Nguyen Xiaoer left two centipede boats, forty escorts to meet the arrivals from Jeju, and the others immediately retreated. ”

Niu Gao said: "Then what about our cavalry." I haven't caught a fight yet, so let's go back. ”

"That's it, I think this warehouse is good, don't go back and burn it down when you mess up, it's a pity, you take thirty people to guard here, don't let anyone in, let alone damage here, can you do it?" Chao Gai said.

Niu Gao grinned: "Okay, I promise to complete the task." ”

According to the information sent back by Wu Yong during the day, Chao Gai made an appointment with the Xu Governor's Mansion, Chao Gai took the lead and took the place where the Ren family's casino and the dock Ren Family's armed family had the most soldiers.

Chao Gai and the others also went back on the boat, leaving only the forty people brought by Ruan Xiaoer and the thirty people led by Niu Gao to guard the dock.

Ruan Xiaoer and Niu Gao waited for a long time with the team, and the people of Jeju did not arrive, but when Ren Batian's men arrived, the Ren family was furious, pulling a team of at least two or three hundred people, and it was mighty.

Ren Batian, who was at the head, rode a horse and held a big knife, followed by Ren Yong, Ren Gang, Ren Meng, and Ren Qiang. A small number of horsebacks, most of them are infantry, and the weapons are much more neat, not as messy as the last time. But good weapons don't mean that training is good, and the team is still a rabble. The team was quickly heading towards the wharf, where there were nearly two million catties of grain and a lot of fur ginseng and other goods from the Ren family.

"What the hell, I'll release the arrow if I go any further." Niu Gao led people to block the middle of the road and shouted loudly.

Ren Batian looked at it by the light of the torch, and his seven orifices were smoking, "You birdman, aren't you the black boy of Chao Gaina?" How to put on the clothes of the officers and soldiers. ”

Niu Gao smiled with his nose facing the sky and said: "Lao Tzu is now an officer of the Yuncheng regimental training, so he naturally wears the clothes of the official army, my brother was ordered by the prefect to raid your granary, so why don't you come over and get off the horse and be bound." ”

Ren Batian shouted loudly: "They are Chao Gai's family members pretending, they are here to avenge their personal revenge, kill me." Cut this black boy and reward 500 yuan. ”

Ren Batian's team is boiling, five hundred is a lot of money, enough to live comfortably for a few years. One by one, they rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Ren rushed the fastest, and saw Niu Gao bend his bow and shoot an arrow, and the whizzing arrow hit Ren Meng's shoulder, and Ren Meng turned over and fell off the horse. Then three arrows in succession shot over three more people, Niu Gao turned around and said: "Brothers, do you see, there are thirty of us, more than three hundred of them, do you dare to rush with me." ”

"Rush, rush, rush." The crowd shouted.

Niu Gao led the men to charge, twenty cavalry archers rode on both wings, and ten light cavalry attacked the middle.

Although there are only thirty horsemen, but the sound of horses' hooves is not small, the distance is still far away, the feather arrows are constantly flying over, and people are constantly screaming and falling to the ground, in just a moment, there are thirty or forty people injured in the Ren family's team, the team is a little panicked, and the infantry who have not undergone strict training cannot cope with the charging cavalry at all, not to mention that the team led by Ren Batian cannot be said to be soldiers at all, and it is more appropriate to call the family.

Niu Gao took ten light cavalry to rush to the middle with weapons, he was confident that the more than 300 people couldn't stop it at all, Ren Batian's team was already scattered, and began to run backwards.

"Collect the troops and go back." Niu Gao gave the order, and the team turned back to the dock warehouse.

Ruan Xiaoer was about to watch the excitement, when he saw Niu Gao coming back, he asked, "Steak chief, why are you back?" ”

Niu Gao said: "As soon as I fight, my brain is hot, and I almost ruined my brother's big thing." ”
