Chapter 145: Spoils of War
Facts have proved that Wang Shihua guessed very accurately, Xiao Bing, who was used to being a tiger sitting on the ground, could no longer adapt to the life of bandits, so he asked Xiao Jun to take 100 boxes of opium and 50,000 oceans of silver tickets down the mountain that afternoon to send them over, and after some bargaining, the opium was mortgaged to 50,000 oceans.
This time, Zhao Tianming took the initiative to ask for those opium: it is not a problem to bring it back and earn 5,000 oceans, and if it is sold to big cities, it can earn at least 20,000 or 30,000 oceans.
After Wang Shihua and Zhao Tianming made a poisonous oath in public, the handover was completed, and the two soldiers and horses slowly retreated with a large number of looted trophies.
So far, this sneak attack on the Xiao family, except for some follow-up trivial things, can be regarded as a perfect ending.
"Big brother, why do I always feel like I'm being led by the nose by the Wang family?"
"That's right! The second uncle is right, Daddy, I think so too. You see, the first time we helped the Wang family, it was the Wang family who benefited the most, but it was us who lost the most. Zhao Chuan on the side nodded in agreement with One-Eyed Biao's words, glanced at Zhao Tianming, and continued: "Even if Old Man Xiao's sudden killing is the first time, no one expected it. But this time, the Wang family was very untimely in rescuing us, and we lost dozens of brothers in vain. Daddy, I feel very uneasy about Wang Shihua in my heart. ”
"I've already cooperated twice, and I haven't seen Brother Wang do anything to be sorry for us, so I'm not at ease." Riding on a horse, Zhao Tianming, who was full of ambition, heard this and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it again, no matter who leads whose nose to go, as long as there is benefit." ”
"But, Daddy, it's not good for us to go on like this."
"What's the disadvantage?" Zhao Tianming glanced at his son unhappily, but after thinking about it, this may not be unreasonable, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Or, next time we will also find something to do, let the Wang family send troops to help us, try them?" ”
"Good! It's a good idea. ”
……
"Why hasn't it arrived yet? Fifteen hundred people have been sent to help, how many things can't be moved? In the woods on the side of the road, thousands of people looked for shade in twos and threes, looking at the direction of Pingtou Town. After waiting for more than an hour, Zhang Cuiyun said to Wang Shihua impatiently: "Shihua, nothing will happen, right?" ”
Wang Shihua shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and was about to speak, but Uncle Jiang on the side preemptively explained: "Mastermother, don't worry, our Wang family has won two big victories in a row, and the army is in full swing, no one will be stupid enough to compete with us at this time." ”
Hearing this, seeing Wang Shihua nodding again, the irritability on Zhang Cuiyun's face retreated a lot, but he still asked a little uneasily: "Shihua, why don't we send some more people to take a look?" ”
"No!" Wang Shihua said with a smile: "Didn't the messenger talk about it just now, the main thing is that there are too many things, and I can't find so many transportation tools for a while, so it's delayed." Cuiyun, don't be in such a hurry. ”
"How can I not be in a hurry? The sun is so poisonous that it can heat people to death. What, do you want to heat me to death? ”
This is the nameless fire, Wang Shihua shook his head directly, and the others retreated silently. Xiaomei, who was holding a banana leaf to fan Zhang Cuiyun, hurriedly fanned hard...... The strong demeanor of the housewife was perfectly set off at this moment.
Seeing that no one dared to answer, and the one-man show was not easy to sing, Zhang Cuiyun could only glance at Wang Shihua angrily, drink water, and look at the big turn in the east of the road.
When the troops were dispatched yesterday, the spies sent by Wang Shihua reported that Xiao Bing hid the personnel of Xiaojiazhai in the mountains. Wang Shihua naturally thought that Xiao Bing would inevitably hide the people and money of Pingtou Town in the mountains, but he never expected that Xiao Bing would not care about Pingtou Town at all, so that hundreds of people would not be able to move the looted many belongings back to Wang's house together.
After meeting with Zhao Tianming's men and horses in the morning, Wang Shihua immediately sent 500 people to help, but as a result, the spies came to report, but there were still not enough people. This aroused Wang Shihua's interest, and after inquiring, he learned that they had completely looted Pingtou Town, just like Zhao Tianming's ransacking of Xiao's village: from gold and silver to clothes, they were all robbed. And the most time-consuming thing is: catching hundreds of fat sheep.
Zhang Cuiyun on the side was a bandit for the first time, and when he heard the harvest, he was happy to make decisions for Wang Shihua on the spot, and sent another thousand people to help. Moreover, the horses of Wang Shihua's escort team, except for Wang Shihua and some high-ranking people who left their mounts, the rest were all taken away and consigned.
Originally, it was agreed to meet on the avenue, but as a result, after waiting for more than half an hour, it didn't arrive, which made Zhang Cuiyun, who had never suffered since he was a child, but now had to endure the scorching sun, lost his interest and patience in being a bandit, and wanted to vent his anger when he had nothing to do.
After a few minutes......
"Camels! You take someone to see it, and give me a whip no matter what it is. ”
"Good!" The camel answered, and was about to leave with thirty of the Zhang family's dowrymen, but saw a carriage galloping towards him.
There is no need for his subordinates to come forward to check, and the carriage is parked directly on the side of the road.
"Where's Shihua? Where is my virtuous nephew......" Liu Minhua jumped out of the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and a woman, supported by Liu Minhua, shouted as she got out of the carriage.
Wang Shihua went to Liu Minhua's house once when he was five years old, and at that time, when he saw Aunt Liu breastfeeding Liu Debao, he felt curious and watched from the sidelines...... This incident left a very deep impression on Wang Shihua, so much so that although the other party's face has aged a lot and has not been seen for many years, he can still recognize it at a glance.
Looking at their anxious appearance, something must have happened. Wang Shihua was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the two of them, and comforted: "Uncle Liu, auntie, don't worry, talk about something slowly." ”
Unbeknownst to him, Aunt Liu's eyes turned red when she saw him, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed with Uncle Liu, her mouth wide open, but she didn't make a sound.
Bowing down to the elders of relatives and friends will give him a long life.
Wang Shihua jumped out of more than a meter in fright, and rushed forward with a brisk step, asking while pulling Aunt Liu up: "Auntie, if there is something you can do first, Shihua can't afford such a big gift from you and Uncle Liu." ”
"Shihua~! I...... I...... Woo~! Woo~! ”
The woman looked up at Wang Shihua, grabbed Wang Shihua's hand with both hands, and after calling out a salute with tears streaming down her face, she began to cry. Uncle Liu, who was on the side, touched his head to the ground and trembled slightly.
Seeing this situation, Wang Shihua instinctively thought that the other party had been greatly wronged, so he came to find him on a long journey. And the biggest possibility is that it has been looted by bandits. I specifically instructed to protect Uncle Liu's family, how can this kind of thing happen? Wang Shihua's short-term temperament immediately came to his head, and he roared at Ergouzi with a blue face: "Ergouzi, you immediately take someone to investigate, who made my uncle and aunt suffer such a big grievance?" No matter who it is, no matter how many people there are, I want him to die! ”
Hearing the extremely heavy word 'death' in Wang Shihua's mouth, looking at Wang Shihua's iron green face, he was obviously really angry, which is rare in Wang Shihua, the last time he had such a terrifying expression, he saw his clansmen being tortured in the dungeon more than a year ago. The second dog was startled, beckoned, and was about to get on the horse with his men. Fortunately, Liu Minhua shouted quickly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute." ”
"Uncle Liu, don't worry about this, I will definitely make the decision for you."
"It's not. Shihua, we are not wronged, but specially to thank you. ”
"Ah~!" Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Are you grateful to me?" ”
"You helped us Ah Bao avenge it, your aunt said such a great kindness, you must kowtow to you in person to thank you as soon as possible, and we came in a hurry."
As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, Aunt Liu on the side continued: "Shihua, you don't know that since Ah Bao is gone, you and Uncle Liu are really desperate, and we are looking forward to revenge...... Secret trouble...... Woo~! Woo~! ”
Aunt Liu said a few words and cried bitterly, and Wang Shihua could only be busy comforting.
In the end, it was Zhang Cuiyun who dragged Aunt Liu to the forest to whisper, and as soon as she left, Uncle Liu barely cheered up.
"Shihua, I plan to recognize the big dog as my son and inherit the incense, and he agrees, and you also agree to listen to him?"
"Yes!"
"I want to hold a ceremony then, can you come and watch it?"
Since Liu Debao's death, Liu Minhua has wanted to avenge his son, but now that this heart is sick, the next thing is naturally the continuation of the incense. And in the past three or four years, he must have been ridiculed by many people for this, and now he wants to make a big show and announce to others that he has a son to die in his old age, and vent, Wang Shihua naturally understands.
"It's a great thing, of course I'm going to watch it." Wang Shihua didn't want Uncle Liu to be sad, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, Uncle Liu, have you taken care of all your fields?" ”
"After you get married, I will sell all the land to Old Man Xiao at a low price."
In this way, the two chatted and waited, and in a blink of an eye, half an hour passed. The procrastination looting team finally arrived, and Wang Shihua couldn't help blushing a little when he saw it.
The first thing that caught my eye was the spearmen, who all came happily with large bags and small bags on their shoulders. Then the dozen or so carriages at the beginning were tied with many boxes, and the dozens of carriages behind were full of pots and pans, clothes and bedding and other daily necessities. Even the hundreds of horses that followed, the camels were basically grain.
After that, there were more than a hundred hostages. I have to say that everyone's vision is still very good, especially with a store like Peng Peng. Judging by their clothes and faces, you can tell that they are all rich people.
In the end, thousands of spearmen were still big bags and small bags, and some people even used leather jackets as cloth extravagantly, and I really didn't know what was wrapped inside.
Those who know know that this is a spoils of war, and those who don't know think that this is a wave of refugees...... Pingtou Town is truly flat this time.
"Are you still stunned? Hurry up and greet it! As soon as he saw so many things, Zhang Cuiyun's interest came again, urging Wang Shihua.
"Don't go!"
"You are the head of the family, and the soldiers have returned victoriously, and if you don't greet them, you can't talk about it."
Seeing Zhang Cuiyun's persecution, Wang Shihua whispered: "This robbery is too thorough, it's like calling Huazi, it's a bit embarrassing." ”
"Shame?" Zhang Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "When everyone in the family is rich, will you say this again?" Now, when you think about the people who are starving and cold, they all look at you, the head of the family, and hope that you will lead them to a good life, and you will not think about whether you are ashamed or not. ”
"You're right." Wang Shihua's eyes widened, nodded, and said, "In the future, remind me more." ”
After speaking, he strode out of the forest.
