Chapter 52: You Don't Deserve to Beg for Mercy
Mao Xiang also glanced up at Guan Jiaren in some surprise, and raised his hand unwillingly to point at Yang Ming, who was killing this side: "You actually killed this son?" Immediately, Mao Xiang planted his head.
Here, Chen Shixun, who was lucky enough to dodge a shot, was also scared into a cold sweat, and saw Li Guangtian rushing over like a fierce tiger, and hurriedly shouted: "Gao Baihu, hurry, stop this person!" ”
There is no need for Chen Shixun to say more, Gao Baihu has already rushed towards Li Guangtian: "Thief, Hugh is rampant!" ”
With a sonorous sound, Li Guangtian's broadsword and Gao Baihu's broadsword collided violently, rubbing countless sparks, but just like this, Gao Baihu fell directly to the ground, and secretly surprised: "This thief is so powerful!" The strength is so great! ”
"Li Guangtian, good job!" Cao Laosan, who came over, shouted and slashed down, cutting off the head of Gao Baihu, and at the same time, jumped over and brought out Chen Shixun, who was hiding behind the beams: "What kind of son is **, I only know how to hide behind my back and be arrogant, Lao Tzu will end you now!" ”
"Don't kill me!" Chen Shixun miraculously dodged the stab from Cao Laosan: "Don't kill me, my father is a cabinet scholar, if you kill me, you will die, if you let me go, I can give you silver, one thousand taels, ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, all right, please!" ”
"Lao Tzu's life is not up to you!" Cao Laosan kicked Chen Shixun's throat bone, and at this time, Yang Ming also walked over with a bloody spear: "Guan Jiaren! Come out for me! ”
Guan Jiaren didn't expect the result of the matter to be like this, he naturally knew that Yang Ming would not let him go now, after all, he owed so many lives, he immediately got up and ran towards the backyard, and Yang Ming and others also chased after him, Yang Ming was not in a hurry to chase, Guan Jiaren kept running.
Guan Jiaren was extremely scared, because he had already seen the full killing intent in Yang Ming's eyes.
"Yang Ming, no, no, Yang Gongzi, I beg you, spare me, Guan Mou doesn't know how to lift, and he framed you for a while, and I hope that you have a lot of adults, as long as you are willing, I Guan Mou can take out everything, this house and all the gold, silver and jewelry are given to you, I just hope you can spare my life", Guan Jiaren finally couldn't run, so he could only desperately ask for forgiveness.
"You don't deserve to beg me for mercy!" As soon as Yang Ming poked his spear, he stabbed Guan Jiaren to the ground.
Yang Ming put away the spear, looked up at the sky with sparse moonstars, couldn't help but roar, and only calmed down after a while, pulled out the spear that was stabbed on Guan Jiaren's body, and turned around and walked out: "Pass the order, immediately confiscate all the property of the Guan family, and if you resist, you can be executed on the spot!" But don't kill indiscriminately! ”
"Yes!"
Cao Laosan, Li Guangtian and others took the order, while Yang Ming found Lan Guanwei: "What about Mao Xiang and Chen Shixun?" ”
"All of them are dead, and that Gao Baihu, I didn't expect that Li Guangtian guy to be so violent, he can nail a person to the pillar at a distance of ten zhang away, and that Gao Baihu was also shattered by his heart!" Lan Guanwei said and said: "Childe, we killed two Xiucai this time, one of them is the Donglin giant you once said, and the other is the old son of the court, if this matter is known to the imperial court, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar!" ”
"I know, what should come will always come", Yang Ming said and walked out, now he has killed the county order, occupied the county seat, and now he has killed the son of the old pavilion and a member of the Donglin Party, it can be said that he has completely offended the Ming court, and it can be said that he has become a member of the anti-thief like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
This was something Yang Ming never expected, he thought about borrowing martial arts to become a member of the system, and also thought about being a rich man in Hanjia Village, but he didn't expect that he would stand on the opposite side of the court again and again.
"In this case, let's seriously deal with the next changes, as long as there is a strong military group, it's a big deal to start anew and start over!" After thinking about it, Yang Ming came over to personally bandage the wounds of some wounded soldiers, among them, Wang Peng, who was cut on the arm by an official army not long after dodging, saw Yang Ming bandaging himself personally, and couldn't help but shed tears, as if he felt that today's battle was worth it even if he died.
It didn't take long for Lan Guanwei to come over: "Son, according to the old housekeeper of the Guan family, there are a total of one hundred and fifty-two men, women and children in the Guan family, all of whom have been controlled, and three thousand gold ingots, ten boxes of silver, 20,000 taels of scattered silver coins, and eight boxes of jewelry and antiques have been filled, with a total value of about 100,000 taels. ”
"There are also hundreds of land deeds and interest deeds, as well as 1,000 spears, 300 broadswords, 2,000 catties of gunpowder, 50 arquebuses, 10 bird guns, and 3 Western flintlock pistols", at this time, Lan Guanwei came over and handed Yang Ming a stack of account books and deeds.
Yang Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "I don't know if I don't copy this, I didn't expect that this Guan family's old mansion is still an arsenal, is Guan Jiaren going to war?" ”
"This is not, this Guan family has been operating an iron yard in Zhangjiachang Suosaba since the Wanli period, in addition to making some farm tools and knives and guns, but also specially invited craftsmen from Liangjing to refine some arquebuses, mainly sold to Tartars, this is a copied order, and it is also stamped with the seal of Gongshun Wang Kong Youde."
Lan Guanwei and other major officers of the Hanjia Battalion already had preliminary military and political knowledge, so they also knew who Kong Youde was, Yang Ming didn't expect that this Guan Jiaren was just a squire in the eastern Sichuan region and would actually be a traitor from the Tartars, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really Chi Xiaowang Baduo!" ”
"Lan Guanwei, you take a team of people to Suoshaba immediately to control the Guanjia Iron Yard, all craftsmen, especially those who can make arquebuses, must be strictly controlled, but they are not allowed to be harmed!" After Yang Ming said this, Lan Guanwei immediately took the order, and here, Cao Laosan also ran over: "Son, we found a lot of silver in a side room in the backyard of the Guan family, all piled up in the whole house?" ”
"How much silver?" Yang Ming will definitely expand the military war next, and naturally it is indispensable to spend a lot of money, and when he saw Cao Laosan say that he had a lot of silver, he was also a little happy.
"Bring people in!" Cao Laosan smiled and waved his hand, and when he saw two soldiers from the Han family camp, he lifted an old man wearing a melon skin hat up: "Kneel!" ”
"Uncle spare my life, I'm just a little housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, I don't know anything!" The old man, who was about fifty years old, was busy kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"The old man stood up and spoke," Yang Ming said with a smile.
The old man stood up tremblingly, and under the coercion of Cao Laosan, he told the way the silver came from: "This was originally the silver that our master had accumulated in the capital for several years, a total of one million taels, because the thieves were getting closer and closer to the capital, the master asked my second young master to bring the silver back to his hometown, who knew that he had just arrived in Dongxiang County." ”
"Okay, take him down, no wonder this Chen Shixun will have hundreds of officials and soldiers", Yang Ming couldn't help but think of when Li Zicheng approached Beijing, Chongzhen called on his ministers to donate silver in order to recruit troops to resist, Chen Yan only donated 1,000 taels of silver in order to flaunt that he was a Qing official, but he didn't expect that the silver transported home alone would reach one million taels.
However, if you think about it, Li Zicheng was able to confiscate 70 million taels from the homes of powerful ministers after he broke through Beijing, and at that time, Chen Yanwei fled Beijing, and the bribe of Liu Zongmin alone amounted to 40,000 taels, so it is not surprising that he could transport one million taels of silver to his hometown at one time.
