Chapter 68: An Unexpected Bonus
~~~~~~~
The balance of strength is really too great, and the guards of the salt field are strong in showing off their strengths, but in the face of the real warriors under Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, how can they have any power to resist?
The whole battle lasted only about a quarter of an hour, and after killing a dozen stubborn guards, the whole world fell silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The main building of the salt works is several rows of thatched houses, and to the east, there is a blockhouse-like building built of reefs, which is the warehouse of the salt works.
At this time, the remaining dozen guards and stewards in the salt factory, as well as more than 100 full-time salt coolies, were all gathered in the open space in front of the warehouse, and they held their heads and squatted on the ground, and they did not dare to breathe.
All around, there were soldiers with torches and weapons.
Chen Zhong pointed to a rich fat man and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "This is the steward of the salt farm, the third housekeeper in Liu's mansion, and the key to the treasury is in his hand." ā
Li Yuanqing nodded, walked to the side of the three butlers, and said in Mandarin with a southern accent: "Hand over the key to the warehouse, I won't kill you." ā
Although these three housekeepers were frightened in their hearts, after all, they were born in the Liu family, and there was still a trace of hardness in their bones, "Good man, this is the industry of the Liu family in Dengzhou." We have something to say. Ask for silver, and I will be the master and give you some. But this warehouse is the important place of our Liu family. Without my lord and eldest son talking, the little one would not dare to open it. ā
Li Yuanqing didn't expect that at this level, these three housekeepers could still be so horizontal, this person was either brain-burned, or dependent.
Looking at the proud eyes of the third butler at this time, it was obvious that he belonged to the latter.
Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, and smiled indifferently, "Come on, pick out the hamstrings of this dog day for me." ā
In a moment, Guan Canghai and Wang Hai had already brought people forward, Wang Hai and a personal soldier framed the body of the third butler, and Guan Canghai had already pulled out his waist knife.
Born as a pirate, no one is more familiar with this life than him.
Seeing that Guan Canghai's sharp blade was out of the sheath and wanted to come to the real one, the three housekeepers were also frightened, and hurriedly said loudly: "Good man, you must not mess around." Li Jiaolong from Heidao is my brother. If you hurt me, he won't let you go. ā
"Li Jiaolong?" Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and glanced at Guan Canghai.
Guan Canghai didn't seem to have heard the name Li Jiaolong, and he didn't know who he was, but who he was, he instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and said in an official dialect with a southern accent: "I'll fuck you, bullshit Li Jiaolong." We are in charge of the family, it is the grandson-in-law of our old man Wang, this time from this side of the aisle, I fancy you, that is your blessing. Don't be ashamed to say anything, believe it or not, Lao Tzu even served that Jiaolong in a pot? ā
Old man Wang is the bandit leader of the Japanese back then, Wang Zhi. In this industry, it is famous.
These three housekeepers can understand a few ways, and they have also heard the name of Old Man Wang, a fat face, and they turned white in an instant.
Guan Canghai's words made him understand that the people who came at this time were not good and had a big foundation, but they were not pretentious, they were just passing by, which made the third housekeeper feel a little better, and said busily: "This master, there is something to say, something to say." Don't do it. To tell you the truth, there is really no silver in the treasury, it is all freshly dried salt, and I haven't had time to sell it yet. ā
As he spoke, he took out a key from the depths of his cuffs tremblingly and handed it to Guan Canghai.
Guan Canghai asked Li Yuanqing to glance, and Li Yuanqing nodded.
Guan Canghai waved his hand and asked a personal soldier to take the key to open the door of the warehouse.
Soon, the door of the storeroom was opened, and it was full of piles of bags, which the soldiers picked open with knives, and they were all white salt.
Chen Zhong glanced at Li Yuanqing and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
This trip is for money, not for salt.
Li Yuanqing's face also changed slightly, whether the intelligence was still not in place, and he couldn't seize the most lucrative time in the salt field.
But the matter has come to this point, Li Yuanqing will naturally not retreat, and said to the three housekeepers: "I want silver, you don't have silver, I'm sorry, then I can't let you go." ā
The third housekeeper was already sweating like rain at this time, he had never had the experience of dealing with a character like Li Yuanqing, and he hurriedly said: "Good man, if you want silver, I will let people take it immediately, but it will take time." Please wait a while. ā
Li Yuanqing couldn't help sneering slightly, the housekeepers of the Liu family are all like this, how far should their owners and sons go?
Such a wealthy family, can you still expect them to pay taxes to the imperial court?
Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, "How can you believe you?" If you recruit reinforcements, isn't Lao Tzu in big trouble? ā
The third housekeeper hurriedly said: "Good man, how can this be?" Our Liu family has always been the most credible wealthy family in Denglai and the two prefectures. ā
At this time, before Li Yuanqing could speak, a man from the Yanding coolie suddenly spat fiercely, "Liu Baosan, you are a dog." How can God let you live in the world? Good man, this dog offal is not a good thing. Kill him. I did it with you. ā
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, glaring angrily at Liu Baosan, the third housekeeper.
Liu Baosan's face couldn't help but change greatly, "Huang Guoshan of the dog day, do you want to rebel?" ā
Huang Guosan sneered slightly, glaring at Liu Baosan, "Rebellion? What about rebellion? Anyway, this day can't go on. ā
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuanqing, "Good man, please let me kill this dog thief with my own hands." This dog thief oppresses the good, bullying his wife and daughter, even if I die today, I will pull him on his back. ā
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong knew each other at a glance, and they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when more than a dozen people from the Yanding coolies stood up, "Good man, what Brother Guoshan said is right." Kill Liu Baosan, the dog thief. We'd love to follow you. ā
The power of example is endless, and in an instant, dozens of people stood up and expressed solidarity with Huang Guoshan.
Even a few salt field guards actually stood up to show their solidarity with Huang Guoshan.
Li Yuanqing didn't expect that there would be such a character in this salt farm, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Baosan with a smile, "Third housekeeper, it seems that I can't help you anymore." ā
Liu Baosan, the third housekeeper, was completely frightened at this time, his legs and stomach were trembling, he never thought that things would turn out like this, these despicable bitter haha, they actually dared to rebel against him, and for a while, he didn't know how to refute it.
At this time, Shang Lao Liu, who went to search for the property of the salt farm, also came back and whispered a few words to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing nodded, Shang Lao Liu and the others found more than 1,000 taels of silver, and they could barely help Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to tide over the difficulties at this time.
And these salt-diced coolies are completely windfalling.
Li Yuanqing walked up to this man named Huang Guoshan, took off the saber from his waist, and handed it to him, "Although he is a pirate, he is the most respectful and friendly man, and I will leave his life to you to deal with." ā
Huang Guoshan took Li Yuanqing's knife, tears couldn't help but flow out, he kowtowed to Li Yuanqing a few times, "Good man, your kindness, I, Huang Guoshan, will never forget." ā
As he spoke, he walked quickly to Liu Baosan's side, and suddenly pulled out Li Yuanqing's saber, against the background of the flying snowflakes, the blade was even colder, so that Liu Baosan didn't dare to open his eyes, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "The surname Huang, you, don't mess around." The eldest prince will not let you go. ā
Huang Guoshan smiled hideously, "You can go to the king of Hades and tell the eldest prince." ā
Before the words fell, his big hand suddenly exerted force, and the saber directly pierced Liu Baosan's chest and abdomen, stabbing out from his back.
It's a pity that Huang Guoshan has no experience in killing, and his knife did not completely kill Liu Baosan, but made him more painful.
Liu Baosan's chest and abdominal organs were broken, blood was spitting out from his mouth, and he looked at Huang Guoshan hard for more than ten seconds, and then his body was crooked and he lost his breath.
Seeing that Liu Baosan was dead, Huang Guoshan couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, "Erya, Erya, have you seen it." Brother Guoshan has avenged you, avenged you. ā
But when he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground as if all his strength had been drained, and wept bitterly.
There was also a boiling among the Yanding coolies, and many people were crying, but it was not the three housekeepers Liu Baosan who were crying, but their relatives who were persecuted by Liu Baosan.
Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Zhong at this time and said in a low voice: "Big brother, this time, we didn't come in vain." ā
Chen Zhong was also deeply touched, what was he fighting desperately on the front line of Liaodi? Don't you just hope that your parents, relatives, and ordinary people can live a good life?
can look at the scene in front of him, this Liu Baosan is probably more hateful than Tartar.
"Yuanqing, what should we do next? To these people, to accept or not to receive? ā
After so many storms, Chen Zhong's mind began to slowly harden, and at this time, through the incident itself, he first considered the consequences of this matter.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Accept." Why not? If we don't take it, they'll just fall into the grass. On the contrary, it will lose control even more. ā
At this time, Huang Guoshan had already relieved his breath, he took out the saber on Liu Baosan's chest, came to Li Yuanqing, kowtowed respectfully, and raised Li Yuanqing's saber high with both hands, "Good man, if you don't dislike it, from now on, Guoshan's life will be sold to you." ā
Li Yuanqing smiled and took the saber, but handed him back to Huang Guoshan's hand, "I heard that a good horse with a good saddle, and a good knife with a hero." Brother Huang, you are a good man, I gave you this knife. ā
Saying that, Li Yuanqing personally helped Huang Guoshan up.
Huang Guoshan couldn't help but be flattered, "Good man, you ......"
At this time, Li Yuanqing leaned into Huang Guoshan's ear and whispered a few words.
Huang Guoshan was instantly petrified on the spot, and for a while, he didn't know how to react.
After a while, I heard Li Yuanqing smile at everyone: "The Liu family is unkind, cruel to the township, and the people are suffering." Now, even if I let you go, I'm afraid that the Liu family won't necessarily let you go when they get the news. I can see that you are all good men. They are all the pillars of the family to support. Since I cut off your way of life and forced you to this point, then now, I will find another way for you to live. You may follow me, and bring your relatives and your families, and although I cannot guarantee you much silver, at least you will be fed and clothed warmly, just as my brothers are beside me. ā
After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, the soldiers around him straightened their chests proudly.
Li Yuanqing's words are very straightforward, most of these soldiers are from the suffering Liao people, and many of them have the first full meal after following Li Yuanqing, and even eat meat for the first time.
At this time, looking at these Yanding coolies who have suffered similar to them, how can they not be touched?
Huang Guoshan had already recovered from the shock just now, looking at Li Yuanqing's tall figure, he felt more and more that Li Yuanqing was mysterious, how could he know that the brothers in the salt field were being exploited by the Liu family?
Thinking of the identity that Li Yuanqing just told him, where would he hesitate? Busy took the lead and said: "I, Huang Guoshan, am willing to be the first to follow this master and move my family away." ā
Huang Guoshan has a high prestige among the Yanding coolies, and when he opened his mouth, there was an instant discussion among the Yanding coolies.
After a while, another person said: "I am also willing to follow Brother Guoshan and go with the good man." Grass ~ him ~ mother, now in the world of this dog day, where to go is just to eat. ā
"I am also willing to follow Brother Guoshan and go with the good man."
"I'm willing to ...... too"
