Yanfu, the fire broke out, Yan Zhenchuan's body was lying on the floor of his backyard, and his head was cut off by Lu Zhao's own hands.

After seeing Yan Zhenchuan dead, the Yan family's family immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and ran out of the door one by one.

Zhang San's subordinates were short of manpower, and they couldn't stop all of them for a while, causing most of the Yan family's family members to run out.

The remaining half of the family did not die so well, and they all fell under the butcher's knives of the bandits.

After killing all the family members, only a group of female dependents remained in the banquet house.

Among them are Yan Zhenchuan's wife and his four-room concubine, as well as Yan Zhenchuan's two underage daughters, and the remaining five maidservants, as well as Yan Zhenchuan's old lady.

None of the thirteen women escaped, and all of them were blocked in the lobby of the banquet mansion by Zhang San and others.

Looking at the beautiful concubine and maidservant girl in front of him, Zhang San, who hadn't seen a woman for a long time, couldn't help but drool.

He counted them with his hands and said to his subordinates, "Brothers, we are blessed today, there are thirteen of them!" ”

The bandits laughed.

One of the thieves said to Zhang San: "Big boss, look at those two women, they must be the daughters of the rich man, and eighty percent are still virgins!" ”

Zhang San followed his fingers and looked over, and when he saw Yan Zhenchuan's two daughters, his eyes immediately straightened.

Although the two girls are a little younger, and they are thirteen or fourteen years old, their bodies have grown a lot.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Lao Tzu is going to be a groom official today!"

Zhang San smiled evilly as he spoke, and wanted to step forward to take Yan Zhenchuan's two daughters away.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the door.

"Wait!"

Zhang San looked back and saw that it was Mo Qian, the third master.

"Third child, what, don't you like the yellow flower girl? I'll divide you into one, these two sisters, you can choose which one you like! ”

Mo Qian didn't come up to pick a woman, but asked Zhang Sandao with a straight face: "Brother Zhang, have you forgotten what I told you last night?" ”

Zhang San immediately remembered Mo Qian's words last night that he would let him settle in the county seat for half a year.

He couldn't help but stop tugging at the little girl, but he didn't let go.

"The third child, it's just a few women, it's not a big deal, right?" Zhang San looked at the two flower-like faces, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"The big boss, although we are thieves, but to be thieves must also be principled, but also to talk about human nature, otherwise, how can we survive in this troubled world!"

As soon as Mo Qian said this, Zhang San's face immediately changed.

He said in a displeased tone: "Why can't you live, Lao Tzu and I took eighteen brothers to rob boats and people on the Yuan River every day, and it has been several years now, and I am not living well."

We've robbed women seven or eight times, where did the government come back to take care of us, why can't Lao Tzu survive today if he wants to sleep with two yellow flower girls? What a joke.

Let me tell you, while Lao Tzu is not in a bad mood now, hurry up and get out of here, don't delay Lao Tzu's interest! ”

After speaking, Zhang San beckoned two subordinates to fork Mo Qian out, and then closed the door of the lobby.

After Mo Qian retreated outside, he heard a woman's scream coming from inside after a while.

......

The fire in Yanfu was finally extinguished, but the Yan family's back house was burned to the ground.

Although the front yard was not burned by the fire, the parts connected to the back house were still burned to the ground.

Yan Zhenchuan himself was even more miserable, he was cut off by Lu Zhao with a firewood knife, and his body was thrown directly into the fire and burned to ashes.

All the property of the Yan family was searched, and the banquet house covering an area of four acres was huge, and a granary was built in the southwest corner to store grain.

When Zhang San led people to open the granary, he was really shocked by the grain inside.

The whole warehouse is full of golden rice, and it is very well stored.

"Get rich, get rich, so much food, we can eat enough for ten years!" Zhang San looked at the warehouse full of grain and said excitedly.

In Yanfu, not only did they find food, but they also found three boxes of treasure.

Two of the boxes were heavy silver, and the remaining half were less than jewels and gold.

According to preliminary estimates, these three boxes of treasure alone amounted to more than 6,000 taels of silver, and the remaining boxes of jewels and gold were equivalent to four or five thousand taels of silver.

With a huge sum of tens of thousands of taels all of a sudden, Zhang San and the others were already excited and didn't know how to celebrate.

Others didn't expect that this robbery of the landlord would be so rich, everyone stepped forward and took out the silver from the box and put it in their hands, looking left and right, and couldn't put it down.

Only two people present did not step forward to move the silver in the box.

The two are Mo Qian and Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao got revenge because of his great revenge, and after the burden in his heart was thrown off all of a sudden, the whole person fell into a stupor.

And when Mo Qian saw the greedy appearance of the group of bandits holding gold ingots in their hands one by one, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach.

Their images reminded him profoundly: "This group of people in front of him is a group of robbers!" ”

Yes, in Mo Qian's eyes, they were a group of robbers, and a group of ignorant and brutal robbers.

When they entered the Banquet Mansion just now, each of them was a warrior, and they fought desperately with the family members of the Banquet Mansion with weapons.

But that's because they've been encouraged by money and women.

Just now, Yan Zhenchuan's two daughters and the nine female dependents in the family were all ruined, and only Yan Zhenchuan's seventy-year-old mother survived.

But Yan Zhenchuan's mother still died, and she hanged herself!

Mo Qian wanted to stop all this tragedy from happening, but he found that there was nothing he could do.

He overestimated the discipline of this group of bandits.

Now he knows that in front of money and women, bandits are still bandits after all, and their nature will not change.

"Looks like we're going to have to put together our own team!" Mo Qian said secretly in his heart.

Expecting the bandits in front of them to succeed is basically a fantasy.

If you want to achieve great things in the turbulent era of the late Ming Dynasty, you must have a group of competent and reliable people, but this group of people in front of you is obviously not good.

They may be brave in battle, but they are also inflicted.

As soon as the sky dawned, Zhang San gathered everyone together.

He quietly pulled Mo Qian aside, apologized to him and said, "Third child, I didn't have a good temper just now, don't go to your heart!" ”

Mo Qian smiled slightly and said, "Where did the big boss go, it was obviously my fault just now, I was too bookish and angry, and I forgot that we are thieves now!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang San couldn't help laughing, and said: "That's right, let's all pull the flag and rebel, don't care about the reputation of the bird, the third child, you just read too much, and you were taught too much by those old masters."

We are anti-thieves, where can we not do bad things when we are anti-thieves, right? ”

Mo Qian felt sick in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only laugh and say that the big boss was right.

Because he knows that now is not the time to break with Zhang San, and now he still has value.

Zhang San saw that Mo Qian's face did not show any unhappiness, and a trace of doubt in his heart disappeared at this time.

He asked Mo Qian: "Third child, what should we do next, this landlord's family is very rich, and the grain is piled up, what should we do with this grain?" ”

Mo Qian glanced at him and suggested: "Our manpower is too small, so much food will definitely not be able to be taken away, and most of the family members of the Yanfu have fled last night, presumably they have arrived in Yichun County by now, if nothing else, the county magistrate will definitely bring troops to come immediately, we have to leave quickly!" ”

"Leaving is leaving, but what are we going to do with so much food?" Zhang San asked.

"It's simple, let's let each brother take a bag of new rice, and the rest of the rice and white rice will be distributed to the people of the town!"

"What, to the people?" As soon as he heard Mo Qian's suggestion, Zhang San suddenly felt a little painful.

"Yes, to the people! can only be distributed to the people, otherwise when the officers and soldiers arrive, these things will become the military rations of the government, and then we will indirectly strengthen the strength of the government.

But it is different when it is distributed to the people, who will certainly be grateful for our kindness when they receive food, and it will also be of great benefit to our reputation, which is one of them.

Second, if the officers and soldiers arrive here and find that our people have run away, and the granary of the Yan family has also been ransacked, they will definitely arrest the nearby people for questioning.

If you know that the food has been picked up by the people, the government will definitely send troops to collect the grain and rice in the people's homes, and at that time, the people of Wentang Town will hold a grudge against the Shangguan Mansion, and if we kill it again one day, the people of the town will definitely welcome it! ”

Lu Zhao on the side couldn't help but applaud after listening to Mo Qian's plan: "Wonderful, this is really a good plan, no matter what the government does, we will not suffer, but will establish prestige among the people, this is really a first-class plan!" ”

Zhang San saw that his second-in-command had agreed to Mo Qian's plan, and he also felt that this idea was good, that is, to distribute a warehouse of grain and rice to the people, which made him feel a little painful in his heart.

But at the moment, there is no other way than this way.

In desperation, Zhang San had no choice but to send people to the town to shout around, asking the people to come to Yan's house to pick up food.

Soon the people flocked to the feast, and everyone who could carry the burden, even the seventy-year-old man, carried the basket of their family into the banquet house.

At this time in Yichun County, Zheng Qiuping, the county governor of Yichun, was discussing with Huang Yutian, the county magistrate, about preparing to collect autumn grain.

It was only in September, and the imperial court issued a clear document, requiring all prefectures and counties in Jiangxi Province to collect all the autumn grain before January of the following year, and send it to Beijing together with the Liao's salary and banknotes and silver for that year.

Zheng Qiuping was discussing the key part with Huang Yutian when the officials outside hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong? Panicked, what a system! ”

"My lord, a group of thieves have appeared in Wentang Town, and they have ransacked the banquet mansion!"

"What?" Zheng Qiuping stood up suddenly, and the teacups on the table were swept over by him.
