Chapter 112: Raiding the House
The Zhao family is the closest to the Yamen, so naturally it has become the first target of Liu Hao's raid.
The Zhao family has been entrenched in Luoyang for many years, claiming to be the descendants of King Zhao Wuling. Usually looks inconspicuous, but in private he runs a gambling house, and many fertile fields outside the city are the property of the Zhao family.
Liu Hao sat on the horse and listened to Du Fu's introduction, and immediately sneered: "People have liked to put gold on their faces since ancient times, and finding a famous person with the same surname to lie that he is his descendant really makes people laugh off their big teeth." Is the king of Zhao surnamed Zhao? According to them, I, Liu Hao, am still a member of the Han family, do I have to show off like this? β
Yan Zhenqing smiled and poked Liu Hao: "Zhicai is talking nonsense again, be careful to spread it to His Majesty's ears, he will not like it." β
Only then did Liu Hao remember that the Tang royal family was also under the banner of Taishang Laojun Li Er, and couldn't help laughing. If Lao Tzu knew that he had a descendant like the Tang Li family, he would definitely be so angry that he cheated the corpse.
After a subordinate of the Zhao family opened the door, he was frightened by the cavalry in front of him, and he was stunned at the door and couldn't say a word.
Liu Hao pushed the door in: "Where is the head of your family?" Let him come out and answer. β
Only then did this man react, stumbling towards the backyard, shouting: "Master, something happened!" Master, the officers and soldiers are comingγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Du Fu said with a smile: "Just follow along, otherwise it will be really difficult for us to find such a large yard." β
The cavalry dismounted in twos and threes, and for insurance, dozens of people were clustered around Liu Hao with steel crossbows.
The man in front ran forward desperately, and his shouts startled the people in the courtyard one by one, Liu Hao and they were happy to be idle, and followed behind to a nest of these people who were not yet known. Although some people tried to resist, after two of them were shot into hedgehogs, everyone stood by honestly, and several horsemen with ropes in their hands tied them all together.
The head of the Zhao family had just returned from the Zheng family in the morning and was shivering in his room. He was frightened by Bai Jingjing's methods, and he didn't expect that the second master of the Zheng family, who usually needed to look up to him, would be tortured to death like that. The first time he discovered that killing people was also an art, but if this art happened next to him, he couldn't have the idea of appreciating it at all.
The guards in the backyard stopped the subordinate and told the head of the Zhao family in the room.
This family resident was full of momentum at this time, and he instructed the guards in the courtyard: "Gather people, I want to see who dares to touch my Zhao family!" β
Naturally, there is no shortage of outlaws who open gambling houses, and there are hundreds of sword-wielding guards in the courtyard, all of whom have big shoulders and round waists, and their faces are full of fierce faces.
When Liu Hao brought people in, he was a little energetic when he saw this situation. If you don't resist, how can you be convicted of your crimes? He sneered: "Where is the head of the Zhao family?" Last night, you deliberately murdered the court officials, and Lord Yin of Henan ordered you to be arrested. β
Shi Shiran, the head of the Zhao family, walked out from behind the crowd: "Where did the little baby come from, you actually dare to move Lao Tzu, go back and tell Li Jie that Lao Tzu will give him face this time, otherwise don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the Zhao family!" β
Liu Hao was taken aback by a few words, could this be a big fish? But Li Jie didn't explain.
Liu Hao looked at him and said righteously: "You brought so many people with weapons in their hands, are you preparing for a rebellion?" β
The head of the Zhao family laughed: "What can you do if you rebel?" β
Liu Hao also laughed when he heard this, then took a few steps back and gestured to the crossbowman behind.
The head of the Zhao family and his hundred and ten guards died in such a daze. Liu Hao looked at the corpses of this group of people: "What you are waiting for is your rebellious words." If you send someone out last night, you should have the consciousness of being killed. β
Then Liu Hao asked people to thoroughly search the courtyard of the Zhao family, and sent someone to inform Li Jie to hurry up to receive the Zhao family's shop.
Liu Hao searched around the room of the head of the Zhao family, but he didn't find anything particularly valuable. Yan Zhenqing said curiously: "Is the person who opened the gambling house so poor?" β
Liu Hao shook his head: "It shouldn't be like this, there must be a place to hide money." You all look for it, the walls, the floor, and the furniture, all turn over, this trip can't be in vain. β
Everyone laughed knowingly and flipped around. Zheng Ming leaned next to Liu Hao and said: "People from big families generally don't put valuable ones in the room, because once the water is gone, it is difficult to find it. Even if you find something, it won't be worth much after it is burned. β
Liu Hao looked at him suspiciously: "According to what you say, where are all the money hidden by those big families?" β
Zheng Ming scratched his head and said, "It's usually buried deep in the courtyard, anyway, that's what the Zheng family did." β
Yan Zhenqing listened, looked in the courtyard and asked, "Then how can you tell the location?" If you can't find it for a long time, will you be blind? β
Zheng Ming smiled and said: "Generally, trees or flowers are planted in the courtyard, and if there are more, they will be built into rockeries, anyway, they will be marked." β
When everyone heard this, they came to the courtyard, and a plane tree was lonely not far away.
Liu Hao laughed: "That's it, dig it for me!" β
Everyone started to dig around the plane tree and began a three-foot treasure hunting trip.
The stone bricks on the ground were all pried up, and everyone was pouting frantically on the ground, and some people couldn't find the tools to take advantage of for a while, so they pulled out the military thorn casually, which made Liu Hao very distressed.
Half an hour later, twelve huge gold ingots were lifted out of the pit. Liu Hao squatted next to the deep pit and kept urging: "Look for it again and see if there is one." Uncle's military academy is not afraid of deducting military expenses from above this time. The money alone is enough for us to toss. β
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he turned his face and shouted at Du Fu in the room: "Brother Zimei, have the land deeds been counted?" There are three more, and we have to hurry. β
When Li Jie saw the six big gold ingots handed over by Liu Hao, he couldn't help but say, "Zhicai, it's wrong for you to do this." Maitreya's treasure is said to be not a star, you swallow it all. This gold ingot is actually missing by half. Now it costs money to improve water conservancy and everything, and now we have to improve housing, and it is difficult for the tax revenue around Luoyang to make a difference. β
Liu Hao sighed: "Master Li, I'll settle an account for you." Last night I lost more than a dozen of my men, all of whom needed to be paid. There are also equipment, training equipment, and the arsenal is a bottomless pit. Besides, my military school doesn't even have a venue now, isn't it too much to say? In order for a soldier to maintain his strength, he had to eat meat. Meat doesn't come cheap. There are also those who are injured and disabled, and they need to be raised by military schools. β
Li Jie took Liu Hao's hand and said earnestly: "Young man, can you not be so careful?" Be bold. In this way, there are three more, you leave some for the yamen, Luoyang is a county-level yamen, and there are many things that need to be done. Zhicai, don't make it too difficult for the old man, okay? β
Liu Hao had a bitter face: "Master Li, I just heard that you are already smiling when you see the Zhao family's property, and there is a lot of money copied from the gambling house." It's okay for the yamen and the military academy to score five or five points, otherwise Li Hong will take Jin Wuwei to raid the house, and we will all stare dryly. β
Li Jie smiled and patted Liu Hao: "You kid is really a businessman, hurry up, Prince Li Hong will copy several other small families in order to win over Jin Wuwei." Don't let him rob these four families. β
Liu Hao nodded: "Master Li, do you have a feeling?" β
Li Jie was stunned: "What do you feel?" β
Liu Hao smiled: "It's actually very cool to rob the house and grab money!" In the future, on the prairie, if the kid leads his men to fight the autumn wind, you are not allowed to be impeached. β
Li Jie waved his hand: "How come, anyway, you are robbing the treasury to fill the money, and the grassland is not my people of the Tang Dynasty, and the generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, aren't you all leading troops like this?" β
Liu Hao is destined to be busy today, although the three families are not on the table in Datang, but the energy in Luoyang City is still not small. The population of the three families alone is nearly 2,000, and there are shops that need to be inventoried, fields outside the city that need to be measured, and even where the money is hidden need to be carefully searched.
Liu Hao's hundreds of cavalry are not enough to see now. In desperation, Gao Shi's thousands of cavalry also poured into Luoyang City. In the entire Luoyang City, Liu Hao and Gao Shibing were raiding their homes in two ways, Li Hong, who had a hangover all night last night, was raiding his house with Jin Wuwei, and Li Jie was also raiding his house with Fang soldiers and servants.
There was a lot of noise in Luoyang City, and many families were closed, for fear of being targeted by these three groups. In order to appease the people in the city, Liu Hao specially asked Liu San to go to the bookstore to notify the workers inside to print a batch of notices to reassure the people, which vigorously told the daily behavior of several families, and repeatedly told that if they were bullied by these families, they could go to the yamen to complain, and the yamen would make compensation as appropriate.
As soon as the notice of Anmin came out, the people in Luoyang City reacted fiercely, and they rushed to tell each other and celebrate. Several other families had the intention of stirring up the troubled waters, and when they saw An Min's notice, they immediately died down. With the support of these ordinary people, not to mention Liu Hao, they raided their homes in the city, and even dragged those people to the street and cut off their heads one by one. The Anmin notice made them appreciate the power of public opinion for the first time, and they were more curious and even hot-eyed about Liu Hao's bookstore, which is an artifact that holds the mouthpiece of the world.
On the official road to Luoyang, Ziyang Zhenren stood quietly on the side of the road and watched the sunset. A beautiful woman with a graceful posture knelt beside Ziyang Zhenren, but the old guy didn't even look at her.
The woman wept and said, "Master! The slave family is not filial, and he has not visited the master all these years, please punish the master! β
Ziyang Zhenren snorted coldly: "You can't afford this master's poor way." I have already said when I was pointing to you back then, Poor Dao is just a guide, you and I are not masters and apprentices. Who would have thought that the girl who bothered to teach back then was actually the great elder of the Maitreya Sect. Your Maitreya religion makes it easy to find the poor road. β
