"Destroy the ...... of the Nine Clans" Hearing these three words, Old Man Zhou's whole body seemed to be emptied, and he directly collapsed to the ground weakly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The faces of several children and grandchildren also turned pale at this moment.

Li Xiaohu is still very satisfied with the situation in front of him.

As a former bandit, Li Xiaohu knew very well that if he wanted to squeeze out their property from the people in front of him, the first thing to do was to make them desperate.

Only then will they feel how wonderful it is to be alive. In order to survive, you are willing to give everything you can.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Xiaohu changed his tone and continued......

"Of course, our commander is not a murderous person, and he doesn't want to go on a killing spree in Liaozhong. However, the commander must give an explanation to the thousands of soldiers killed in the Liaodong Army...... I don't know if Old Man Zhou has any way to get the best of both worlds......"

Old Man Zhou, who was sitting on the ground with a dead face, immediately became alive after listening to what Li Xiaohu said.

Facing Li Xiaohu, he subconsciously said: "Silver, we can buy lives with silver...... We will compensate the soldiers of the Liaodong Army who died in the battle with silver, so that Commander Yang can give an account to the soldiers......"

"Good idea...... Old Man Zhou deserves to be born in Xiucai, and he came up with such a good idea all of a sudden......" Li Xiaohu said with a pretended to be surprised.

Then, looking at Master Zhou, he asked with a meaningful face.

"I don't know how much money Master Zhou plans to pay for his family's lives...... As far as I know, your Zhou family has been in this area for decades with perseverance and wealth...... If there is less silver, not only will the commander not agree, but also the soldiers who died in battle......"

"Ten thousand taels of silver...... This lord, although my Zhou family is actually strong, it is all land and houses, and there is not much silver...... I can only come up with a maximum of 10,000 taels of silver. “

10,000 taels of silver, at most, accounts for 20% of the total property of the Zhou family.

However, Li Xiaohu did not refuse. Not only did not refuse. And it's very refreshing to affirm.

"Ten thousand taels of silver...... Can ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaohu ordered with a meaningful face: "Second squad leader, take the youngest grandson of the Zhou family out for 10,000 taels of silver." Buy this kid's life, we won't lose ......"

"What? 10,000 taels of silver can only buy a person's life, you are robbing money......" Old Man Zhou, who was stunned by Li Xiaohu's words, shouted loudly with a stunned face.

At this time, Li Xiaohu was not unhappy. Instead, he replied with a smile: "Old Man Zhou is right...... We're just grabbing money. One life is 10,000 taels of silver, and there are five of you, plus your little grandson, for a total of 60,000 taels of silver......"

"I will give you a day to prepare, and if you have not enough silver, you can replace it with grain, gold and silver jewelry, and even livestock......"

"Gather 60,000 taels of silver, and we will retreat......"

"In addition, I would like to remind Mr. Zhou that is. Our commander doesn't want to go on a killing spree. But at the very least, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is still essential, and I hope your Zhou family will not become that chicken. ”

60,000 taels of silver, the Zhou family can take it. However, once the Zhou family loses these 60,000 taels of silver, the Nuoda Zhou family, except for the thousands of acres of fertile land around Zhuangzi, will become nothing.

However, if you don't take it out, you will die again. More importantly, the Zhou family will be completely cut off from now on.

After experiencing the fear that death had just brought to him, Old Man Zhou didn't want to go through it again no matter what.

Therefore, although the old man Zhou is in pain at this moment. But he still decided: "Yes...... But I have to get out...... There are a lot of places where silver is hidden in the house, and only I know ......"

"No problem......" Li Xiaohu's nervous heart also relaxed with this.

Facing the second squad leader who returned to his side again, he decisively ordered: "Leave the three brothers to watch them...... Others, follow me to find the silver......"

Three hours later, a total of 50,000 taels of silver was dug out of the underground silver vault by Old Man Zhou.

plus three thousand taels of silver from the Zhou family's treasury. gold and silver ornaments worth five thousand taels, grain worth one thousand taels, and livestock worth one thousand taels......

A total of 53,000 taels of silver and materials worth 7,000 taels were all loaded onto carts by the Liaodong army.

After receiving something, Li Xiaohu very faithfully began to command the troops to retreat.

However, when leaving, Li Xiaohu left a class in the name of protecting them and forbade them to go out for two days.

As soon as Li Xiaohu left the Zhou family's compound, more than a dozen family members of the Zhou family surrounded Old Man Zhou, wanting to know what was going on.

When they learned that Old Man Zhou had given almost all of the Zhou family's property to the Liaodong Army in order to survive, the first thought that came to the minds of more than a dozen family members was that it was over, and the Zhou family was finished......

And at this moment, Old Man Zhou, who was still heavy just now, suddenly stood up and said, "What are you crying for...... My Zhou family is not finished yet......"

After speaking, Old Man Zhou took out two gold bars from his body and said.

"I still have fifty taels of gold here, and I can exchange it for a few hundred taels of silver, which is enough for our Zhou family for these two months......"

"Our Zhou family still has thousands of acres of fertile land outside the village, and when the time comes, sell some of it, and my Zhou family can make a comeback......

Just when the Zhou family regained confidence in the future and was ready to do a big job.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the Zhou family was awakened by a noise.

Subsequently, Li Xiaohu, who came once yesterday, appeared in front of Master Zhou again.

Facing Li Xiaohu, Master Zhou said with a weak face: "Sir, I have given you all the silver...... You Liaodong Army can't fool us......"

Li Xiaohu replied with a righteous face: "My Liaodong Army is a good man...... I didn't want to come either, but I just received information and had to come. Otherwise, more than a dozen lives of your Zhou family will be lost here......"

Perhaps to prove what Li Xiaohu said, as soon as Li Xiaohu finished speaking, the housekeeper rushed in with a nervous face and said.

"It's the other way around...... Master, the people around Zhuangzi are all ......"

"I don't know where they got the news that you colluded with Lao Maozi, master, and they all gathered outside the village to kill us to take revenge......"

"If it weren't for the Liaodong Army, these people would have rushed in......"

"Where's the nursing home...... What do so many nursing homes of my Zhou family do to eat, why don't you stop them......" Master Zhou asked loudly.

"Ran away...... Last night, these nurses all ran away, and the remaining five or six people didn't work at all......"

At this time, Master Zhou looked at Li Xiaohu's gaze, as if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw in despair, and asked eagerly: "Sir, you must protect us...... My Zhou family has given you all the silver, you can't ignore us......

"Of course I want to protect you! Otherwise, what am I going to do? Li Xiaohu replied as a matter of course.

"However, I am a soldier in the Liaodong Army, so it is impossible for you to give the Zhou family a guard home...... In addition, these talents have already run to the headquarters and asked my Liaodong Army to kill you......"

"In order to satisfy the people, and to fulfill the promise of our Liaodong Army to you...... The commander decided to send you out of Liaozhong and into the hands of Lao Maozi, so that Lao Maozi could protect you ......" (To be continued.) )
