Zhao Zhen is the largest town except for Hequ County, but there is only one person in Zhao Town who can really be called a rich man, and that is Zhao Youcai, because the land in Zhao Town is almost his own.

Zhao Youcai returned to Zhao Zhen's home and saw that the house was damaged, but he was not annoyed, but calmly ordered someone to clean it up. Zhao Youcai was not only not angry now, but was in a good mood, because the cellar where he hid the silver was very secret, and it was not discovered by the Ming army or the peasant army.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Youcai called his son to his room, opened the kang mat, pried open the tight kang surface with an iron brazing, uncovered the green bricks below, removed the wooden plank, and a big hole appeared on the kang, and a ladder was supported in the hole. Zhao Youcai took the lamp and walked down with his son.

The cellar was very large, and in addition to the grain of one urn, there were silver, gold, and jade.

"Dad, the money has finally been saved." Zhao Youcai's son said.

"Hmm." Zhao Youcai nodded, "But this is far from enough, we have also lost a lot of this time in the banditry, and we will hire more people to find a way to occupy more land and make up for our losses." “

"Dad, we forced Zhao Youlu to death because of the ground last year, it seems that those mud-legged people reacted quite a lot, do you still do this this year?" Zhao Youcai's son was a little worried.

"You know what? These mud legs can't give them face! Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, the county magistrate Quan Zhihuan has received our money before, even if there is something, he still doesn't want us?" Even if the magistrate is changed, he is not afraid, what else can't be bought with money? ”

"Dad, that's what you said." Zhao Youcai's son nodded.

"It's you, the big girl and little daughter-in-law in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, who have made you a lot of waste, so it's important to take care of it and make money."

The two of them were talking in the cellar, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the cellar, only to hear a clang, and then the screams of Zhao Youcai's wife.

What's going on? Zhao Youcai's father and son in the cellar were stunned, and then hurriedly climbed out. After Zhao Youcai's father and son climbed out, they were stunned. There were a lot of people in the house, and there was one person he knew, Zhixian Quan Zhihuan.

"Why is the county master so Yaxing, visiting late at night!" Zhao Youcai said to Quan Zhihuan while giving his son a look, "Go quickly, call the cook, and prepare wine for the county master!" ”

Zhao Youcai's son was very clever, and he saluted Quan Zhihuan and went out.

only heard two sounds, and two bright knives forced Zhao Youcai's son.

Zhao Youcai was shocked and forced to calm down, "Quanzhi County, what does this mean." ”

Quan Zhihuanli ignored him, and said to a young man next to him, "Master Tiger, this is Zhao Youcai." ”

Li Guo nodded: "Tie up!" ”

Immediately, including Zhao Youcai's wife, the three of them were tied up tightly.

Zhao Youcai was in a hurry, and shouted hoarsely, "Quan Zhihuan, what are you doing, what do you mean by breaking into my house in the middle of the night as a parent official, have you forgotten our friendship?" Lao Tzu gave you silver for nothing! ”

Quan Zhihuan still didn't squeak, his eyes were fixed on Li Guo.

Li Guo smiled, "First, Quan Zhihuan is not a real parent official, I am." Second, the silver you gave to Quan Zhihuan was given in vain, because now I have the count. Thirdly, it's useless for you to shout loudly, because dozens of your guards have already been taken down by me. ”

"You are?" Zhao Youcai hesitated for a moment, and understood, this must be the new one who succeeded Quan Zhihuan, "My lord, since you are a parent official, then I will sue you, one of my families is a Beijing official in Beijing." He is in Guanglu Temple, maybe adults can know him. ”

"Oh? Really? Li Guo pretended to be very curious, "Since you have relatives who are officials in the capital, then I am not good, it is too difficult for you." But would you like to lend me something? ”

"Adults, but if you need it, it doesn't hurt to take it." Zhao Youcai's heart ignited hope.

"I'm going to borrow your head!" Li Guo said coldly.

"You?" Zhao Youcai was speechless for a while because his mouth was gagged.

At this time, Li Qiang, who was in charge of managing the land, had already led people down to the cellar. When Li Qiang came out, his face was full of joy.

"Li Qiang, is there anything good? Look at how happy you are. Li Guo couldn't help but ask.

"Master Tiger, there are a lot of good things, I'm afraid that the silver alone will not be less than 10,000 taels!" Li Qiang said happily.

Li Guo was overjoyed in his heart, and scolded, "The eyelids are shallow, this bit of silver is happy like this?" Quick, bring all the good stuff up! ”

The grain was moved outside, and only silver, gold, and jewels were kept in the house. Nie Xin and the others counted, there were about nearly 20,000 taels of silver, and there were more than 300 taels of gold, and it was said that there were several pieces of jewelry and jade that were also valuable and good.

Li Guo was happy in his heart, and couldn't stop nodding, these silver can save the emergency! The leaders were also happy.

What happened at night, the people of Zhao Town still don't know, and the people of Zhao Town don't know that Zhao Youcai has been kidnapped.

As always, people get up early to make some porridge with wild vegetable noodles. Some of them got up early and pushed the door open to find some dried wild vegetables, but immediately shrank back again, for they saw soldiers patrolling the streets with weapons in hand.

People are puzzled, isn't there a peaceful situation here? Aren't the officers and soldiers gone? Where do these people come from? But, at first consideration, people honestly stay at home.

Zhao Dagou and Xiaogouzi are father and son, and the two depend on each other for their lives, living in a dilapidated mud house in the east of the town. Zhao Dagou was originally a sturdy man in his thirties, but his hair was already gray. Zhao Dagou is now submissive, and his body is also soft, as if someone has broken his bones. If it weren't for his son's puppy, he wouldn't have survived. Zhao Dagou looked at the little dog worriedly, the little dog was sharpening his knife, the little dog looked melancholy, his eyes were sad, he seemed to have endless resentment, and his expression did not match his age at all.

"Little dog, don't go out, there are soldiers outside." Zhao Dagou instructed his son.

The puppy remained silent and continued to sharpen his knife dumbly. You must know that a few years ago, the puppy was an extremely cute and lively boy!

Zhao Dagou was worried, and at this time, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Dagou had the courage to ask, "Who?" ”

"Zhao Dagou, it's me!" It was the voice of the chief of security, Zhao Changshun.

Zhao Dagou opened the door: "Bao Chang!" Zhao Dagou lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.

"Zhao Dagou, immediately go to the stage in the center of the town for a meeting." Zhao Changshun said weakly. Zhao Dagou saw that several soldiers were following Zhao Changshun closely.

"Good, good." Zhao Dagou immediately went out and closed the door.

"Bring the puppy with you, too." Zhao Changshun commanded.

Zhao Dagou was taken aback, "Children's house, what's the use of going to the top." ”

"No, everybody has to go." Chief Zhao Changshun commanded.

Zhao Dagou had no choice but to go back to the house, put down the little dog's knife, and led the little dog to the stage. Zhao Dagou held the little dog's hand tightly, and his mood became more and more nervous, this is his only son, don't let any more disasters befall his family.

Zhao Dagou found that there were already people walking towards the stage in the center of the town one after another. People looked at each other with uneasiness, and were not in the mood to greet each other.

What is this for? Meeting? Zhao Dagou was even more strange.
