Chapter 29: What a good person

After Ye Zheng instructed Niu Tiezhu to knock the woman unconscious, he asked the big tiger and the little tiger to take care of her alone. In addition, at this time, the subordinates in the Zhou Mansion had lost the mind to resist, and they were all hiding and fleeing, all of them were afraid that Ye Zheng's gang of robbers would be unfavorable to them.

Now that Zhou Li, the biggest culprit of the Zhou Mansion, has died, there is no need for the others, Ye Zheng and them to continue to investigate, at this time, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion was stumbling and stumbling to the ground, with a frightened look on his face.

Ye Zheng ordered someone to come over and bring him over, ready to force him to ask where the silver vault and granary of the Zhou Mansion were, but before he could use any means to intimidate him, the housekeeper turned pale with fright, peed his pants, and recruited everything.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, everyone soon came to the treasury where the silver money was stored in the Zhou Mansion, and it took a lot of effort to smash the door of the heavy treasury open.

In the large storeroom, there are many shelves and chests, all of which are filled with gold and silver utensils and antique jade, and those chests are full of countless gold and silver, and in the corners of the storeroom, there are countless copper coins.

Ye Zheng and the others looked at the countless gold and silver belongings, their eyes lit up, and they swallowed their saliva. At the same time, everyone is also secretly sighing in their hearts, this week's ghosts have collected so much of the hard-earned money of civilians and done many bad things that hurt nature and reason, so much money can be accumulated. Now that this person is dead at the hands of his own people, he can be regarded as doing a great good deed for the local people.

After marveling at the gold and silver property in front of him, Ye Zheng asked the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion again, and asked him how much gold and silver there was in this treasury, but the housekeeper couldn't say anything, saying that although he was a housekeeper, but like this kind of treasury land, Zhou Li ghost generally would not let outsiders enter, so how much gold and silver property was in this treasury, he would not know the result until it was liquidated.

Ye Zheng nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion to liquidate the gold and silver property in the treasury as quickly as possible, because for these property gold and silver, he not only wanted to bring them back to Fengmingling, but more importantly, he had some other plans to arrange these property.

After getting Ye Zheng's order, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion hurriedly searched for a few old bookkeepers in the Zhou Mansion, and with the addition of these bookkeepers, the inventory of the treasury was much faster.

After nearly half an hour of counting, the results in the warehouse finally came out.

There are more than 15,000 taels of gold, 110,000 taels of silver, more than 9,000 copper coins, more than 700 pieces of various gold and silver jewelry and jade pendants, and more than 300 pieces of antique porcelain and some unknown treasures in addition to the two houses.

Although Ye Zheng knows a lot about these data, he doesn't know how much it is!

At that moment, Ye Zheng frowned, and asked those bookkeepers to estimate all those gold and silver jewelry and antique jade according to the lowest price in the market, and see how many silver taels there were.

Ye Zheng didn't want to know how many antiques, how many pieces of jewelry and jade were in it now, he wanted to know clearly, how many silver taels they had obtained in total when they came to rob the Zhou Mansion this time, you bookkeepers and Lao Tzu are so complicated and troublesome, Lao Tzu can't understand it! Lao Tzu has only one request, how much is the things in this treasury worth when converted into silver taels?

In his urging and scolding, the bookkeepers were so frightened that they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat, and then hurriedly began to make calculations and re-estimate.

The results of this time came out quickly, and all the things in the treasury were worth at least 800,000 taels of silver if they were converted into cash!

When Ye Zheng and all the people present heard this amount, they were all shocked! Including the bookkeepers who participated in the liquidation.

800,000 taels of silver! What kind of concept is that? Such a large sum of money can be enough for everyone on the scene to use up for a lifetime.

According to the price and the proportion of gold and silver in the Dalie Dynasty at that time, one tael of silver was equal to the usual copper coin (1,000 wen coins), and one tael of gold could be exchanged for 12 taels of silver, while an ordinary family of five in the Dalie Dynasty only needed 6-10 taels of silver for a year. It can be seen from this that this huge amount of 800,000 taels was huge at that time.

After counting the amount of silver money out of the warehouse, Ye Zheng also probably had a bottom in his heart. He asked the housekeepers of the Zhou Mansion and the bookkeepers to gather all the subordinates who had not escaped from the Zhou Mansion to the field in the front yard, and after giving each of the maids and servants a considerable amount of money, let them go back to their hometowns and go their own ways.

Those maids and servants of the Zhou Mansion were originally the sons and daughters of poor families, and the reason why they did things in the Zhou Mansion was because they were persecuted by the Zhou Mansion, in fact, their lives in the Zhou Mansion were not easy, and now that the Zhou Ghost is dead, they are also ready to leave. However, they never expected that the leader of this robber would be so kind and righteous, not to mention letting him leave safely, and also giving so many silver taels to each person, and suddenly, those maids and servants thanked Ye Zheng for a while, and then rolled up the package and left the Zhou Mansion.

But there are dozens of young guys, because their family members died, and they are homeless and unemployed, and in the end, they saw that Ye Zheng's gang of mountain bandits was so capable and righteous, and they immediately took refuge in Ye Zheng. What Ye Zheng lacked at this time was manpower, and he wished that everyone would come to him, so he agreed to them without hesitation.

Anyway, there is so much money and gold and silver in the warehouse, I don't know how many cars to load to be able to transport away, just with the more than 30 people they came this time, it must be difficult to carry back to Feifeng Village, in this case, why not find more people to join, to help them catch up with the car and load the goods back to the mountain.

After those maids and servants left, Ye Zheng saw that the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion and the bookkeepers were still in place, and saw that they were all scared, Ye Zheng was secretly amused in his heart, and immediately instructed Niu Tiezhu: "Give a hundred taels of silver to each of the bookkeepers and housekeepers, let them leave, they will work hard tonight."

When the housekeeper and several bookkeepers heard this, they were overjoyed, and after receiving the money, they couldn't wait to flee from the Zhou Mansion, for fear that Ye Zheng, a gang of fierce robbers, would regret it.

After arranging everything, Ye Zheng began to let people load the gold and silver property in the warehouse into the carriage, anyway, there are many mules and horses and wagons in the Zhou Mansion, so he doesn't have to worry about finding tools to transport these things, after loading the gold and silver property in the warehouse, they opened the granary of the Zhou Mansion and loaded the grain inside into dozens of wagons.

At this time, Niu Tiezhu suddenly came to his side and reminded him: "Brother Ye, since we have successfully robbed the Zhou Mansion and eliminated the evil Zhou Li ghost, otherwise, we will hurry up and transport these robbed gold and silver grains to the cottage, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be changes later!"

Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows, puzzled: "A thug in the Zhou Mansion is a vicious slave, the dead are dead, those who flee are fleeing, Zhou Li's ghost is also evil and evil, just with the dozens of guards in the Tongling Town Guard, I forgive them for not having the courage to come and arrest us, even if they come, I am not afraid." Now that the Zhou Mansion is in our pocket, what else do we have to worry about, what we are worried about now is how to transport so much grain and gold and silver back to the cottage. Otherwise, we'll rest here tonight and celebrate the night, and we'll go back to the cottage early tomorrow morning. ”

Niu Tiezhu shook his head and said with some concern: " Brother Ye, now we have nothing to scruple about, but you should know that the county lord of Dahe County is the eldest brother of this week's ghost, and now we rob the Zhou Mansion, I am afraid that someone has already passed it on to him, although this place is still a day and a night away from the county seat, but once he learns the news, he will definitely be furious and will do whatever it takes to encircle and suppress us, at that time, it will be a little difficult for us to go, because after all, we are carrying so many carriages to hurry, it must not be as fast as the soldiers and horses of the government who are lightly armed. ”

Ye Zheng frowned and said, "How many soldiers and horses are in the county?"

Niu Tiezhu nodded, and said: "A county usually has a thousand standing soldiers and horses, which are specially used to suppress bandits and suppress riotous civilians, and their weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers are not comparable to the guards in the town guard, so we still have to hurry up and transport the goods and leave." ”

Ye Zheng groaned slightly, and said: "What Brother Niu said makes sense, but I was careless and almost made a big mistake, okay, you hurry up and inform everyone, let them immediately load up the goods and money, and be ready to leave at any time!"

After Niu Tiezhu got Ye Zheng's consent, he immediately turned around and went to arrange for his departure.

At this time, Ye Zheng looked at the mountains of grain in the granary, thousands of loads, if they were discarded like this, sooner or later they would all fall into the hands of the big brother of that week, in that case, it would be too cheap for them. But if it burns down, it's too wasteful, and Ye Zheng can't bear to do it, now I don't know how many homeless people and refugees are starving to death on the side of the road because of no food, in this case, why not just distribute all the food in the granary to those refugees and the poor people around it for free, in this way, the problem is solved, and he has done a great good deed.

Thinking of this, Ye Zheng's mood suddenly brightened, and when he gave an order, he ordered a few slaves of the Zhou Mansion who had just taken refuge in him, and let them beat gongs and drums to spread around, saying that the earth bully Zhou Li had been killed by the Green Forest thieves, and now he had opened the granary of the Zhou Mansion and put the grain for free, so that everyone could come and collect it quickly, and if it was too late, they would burn the Zhou Mansion and return to the mountain.

When Ye Zheng let out the news of Zhou Li's murder, everyone in the local area was extremely overjoyed and applauded. For Ye, a gang of thieves who eliminated harm for the people, they were full of gratitude and admiration, so not long after that night, many refugees came one after another outside the granary of Zhoufu, and at first they were still skeptical, thinking that the news was not true, but when the first person received the food, he went back for a while to publicize, and the others believed it completely.

As a result, there were more and more refugees who came to receive food, and in the end, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people, and the entire Zhoufu granary was surrounded by water, which made Ye Zheng's manpower to arrange to stay and distribute food too busy.

But fortunately, before this, he had arranged for the hunters of Niujia Village to lead the dozens of newly joined brothers to drive dozens of carriages full of gold and silver grain in advance to return to Qifeng Mountain non-stop. And he himself, with a few brothers, stayed behind to put food and clean up the aftermath.

Seeing that there were more and more refugees who came to receive food, and these people would definitely not be able to keep busy on their own, Ye Zheng immediately let all of them come out and let those refugees rush into the granary to get food by themselves.

When a group of refugees heard this, they immediately boiled, they all rushed into the granary, desperately loading and grabbing food, many people also ran back and forth many times, grabbed a lot of food, in short, all the refugees and people present basically got food, who is more and who is less, this Ye Zheng is too lazy to worry.

Because there were a lot of people who came to grab grain, it didn't take long for the entire granary to be swept away by everyone, at this time, Ye Zheng led several of his brothers to pour ointment on the Zhou Mansion everywhere, and threw a fire down, and in a moment, the entire Zhou Mansion became a sea of fire, and the evil Zhou Li ghost will also turn into a ball of ashes under the raging fire, which may be the retribution in the underworld.

In front of the sea of fire, Ye Zheng turned over and got on the horse (with the help of others, of course), waved his hand in a chic and heroic manner and laughed: "Happy, today is really happy! Eliminate harm for the people, do the right thing for heaven, nothing else, brothers, go! Hahaha......"

In the midst of wild laughter, Ye Zheng rode away, followed by several brothers who were also full of pride, and chased Ye Zheng's back with fanatical eyes.

Just as Ye Zheng and the others rode away for a while, dozens of big men in black appeared outside the Zhou Mansion, all of them were holding sharp blades, and everyone's expressions were abnormal.

A big man in black came to the bald man in the lead, and said respectfully: "Hall Master Liu, they have left now, so shouldn't we also go back to the mountain?"

At this time, the bald man at the head of the leader, looking at the raging fire, sighed slightly and said: "This Ye Zheng is really good, with only a few dozen people, he can raze the entire Zhoujiabao without much effort! Hey, it seems that Deng Da is worried about it in vain, and our coming this time is useless, Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng, you are so powerful......
