Chapter 667: So Much Silver
Xiaohu looked at two of the people caught by Xiao Liu, one of them was a bearded man, and the tendons and flesh on his body were bulging and wrapped around his body like old tree roots, plus he was born tall and big, very much like the kind of god of war level person on the battle array, and the other was a very thin and fair-skinned person, who usually didn't exercise at all and didn't do anything to kill. He was thinking that these two people could be regarded as the two most extreme of the two kinds of people, the big man and the scholar.
It can be said that the strong man is the strongest, and the scholar is the most scholarly.
Thinking of this, Xiaohu turned his head to look at Captain Lu, who happened to be looking at the two of them. Glancing at Captain Lu, Captain Lu said, "It doesn't matter if it's okay, go back and take care of all the people here and interrogate me one by one." The soldiers and horses of the Chengdu commander are about to arrive, so we will rest in place for a while. ”
Rest in place.
Except for the thirty or forty people who were guarding the patrol bandits, everyone else relaxed and began to organize their bags, quivers, wiping the heads of their guns and the like.
If there were horses, they would have to find water to wash them. But they didn't take the horses with them.
It took a stick of incense for everyone to do everything that needed to be done, and the spear head was covered with a thick cloth. The arrows in the quiver should be filled, the bowstring should be adjusted, and the necessary items such as dry food carried in the lower bag should be checked for lack of use.
After getting busy, Captain Lu asked Xiaohu to arrange for someone to go to the warehouse to see if there were any good things.
In addition to his eighth team, Xiaohu also arranged another army.
I found a bandit who offered to take them to the storehouse to lead the way.
There are a lot of things in the warehouse, such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., which may have to be tens of thousands of taels, and in addition, there is also wine, etc., which are all good wines, and even if they are sold, they can sell a lot of silver. As for the rice, flour, oil, firewood, etc., which are needed for daily life, there are even more. Xiaohu roughly estimated that if the two thousand people in the village did not come back from looting their property, they would probably last less than half a year if they consumed it alone.
This is already a lot, you must know that the population of the village is at least 2,500 people.
It's enough to prove how much property the Broadsword Gang has looted over the years.
In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, the northern army can't bring food and other things, and they can't bring things like gold, silver and jewelry, so although Xiaohu and they really want to bring all the gold, silver and jewelry back to the northern army, add more things to the armory of the northern army, and compensate the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, but in order to avoid suspicion, they can't take it.
Disappointed, they put a seal on it, and then they went into the bandits' houses to see if there were any good things, and according to the guidance of the bandits, they entered the houses of the two highest-ranking people in the stockade, the big boss and the military advisor. There are not many gold, silver and jewelry, but there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings, especially in the house where it is said to be a military advisor, Xiaohu of course they can't see the value, but this bandit said that the calligraphy and paintings in it are worth 10,000 gold. There is also a bookcase with hundreds of hardcover books, poetry books and the like.
If Xiaohu and the others got the treasure, they immediately pasted a note on it: The northern army brought it back, and others should not move.
They think those eight words should work.
But Xiaohu thought about it, and the calligraphy and painting were easy to bring, so they took it out directly.
After some searching, the eighth Wu held dozens of calligraphy and paintings, and Xiaohu told Captain Lu, Lord Captain, it is said that these calligraphy and paintings are very valuable, let's take him back and sell them. There are still many more books that I would like to bring back with me.
Captain Lu thought about it and said, the calligraphy and paintings are gone, and they are left to the commander and the yamen to deal with themselves. Books can be brought back for them to leave for us.
That's a lot of silver... Xiaohu is really a little reluctant, if he can really sell even a few dozen taels, it would be good, enough to add some food to the brothers.
At this time, another group of people who went to search came back, and they searched the houses of the little minions, and basically they didn't find anything valuable, and they came back. I happened to hear Xiaohu telling Captain Lu that he was reluctant to leave these to the commander.
The soldier, who didn't find anything but wasn't unhappy at all, said, "Ouch, that's all for them, we have something else to gain, it's okay to get a big head." ”
Xiaohu glanced at him and said, "Xiao Liu, what are you talking about, these are name paintings, maybe they can be worth tens of thousands of taels." ”
Xiao Liu waved away the people next to him, pulled Xiaohu and Captain Lu to the side and separated from everyone, and then took out tens of thousands of taels of silver and silver tickets from his arms that he had collected from the military advisors before. A large stack of silver tickets was thick, almost like a few books stuffed in his arms, and he took it out and handed it to Captain Lu, saying Lord Captain, please take a look.
Captain Lu was taken aback: "Where did you get so many silver tickets?" After flipping through it, Captain Lu estimated that there were at least forty or fifty thousand taels.
Xiao Liu said: "These are all from the four minions I intercepted before, oh no, it's not searched, they took the initiative to give it to me, they originally wanted to use so much silver to bribe me to let them go and give them a way to live, but haha I searched their whole body, haha, I didn't expect so much silver, they said that they stole it from their big boss and military advisor's house when they were about to escape, they said that they stole all their silver from the big boss..."
Captain Lu and Xiaohu glanced at each other, and Xiaohu said, "Xiao Liu, do you still think they are ordinary gangs, do you think ordinary gangs can get so much silver?"
Xiao Liu was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head for a while and said, "They said they stole it." Hey, you mean they're the big bosses?"
Xiaohu patted Xiao Liu's shoulder and sighed: "Read more books, really, if you don't read more, you will be eliminated by us." ”
Tens of thousands of taels of silver were put into his arms, and Captain Lu said: "Xiao Liu, you have made a lot of contributions, and I will report it to you." I'll try to get you a hundred taels of silver. ”
One hundred taels? Xiao Liu was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, one hundred taels was more than he expected.
At this time, the commander of Chengdu came to the soldiers and horses, and the commander trotted in front of Captain Lu, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and saw Captain Lu for his humble duties.
Captain Lu motioned for him to get up and speak.
According to his position, the commander does not need to kneel to Captain Lu, but the captain of the forward battalion of the Northern Army, in their eyes, is a big man from above, and he bows down only because of his sincere admiration.
Captain Lu was not polite and accepted it calmly. After the commander got up, Captain Lu said: "The people will be handed over to you to take back, and there is a wave of people that you can bring back and tell Lord Chen, saying that they can be interrogated." Master Chen will understand. ”
The command makes the hand over.
