Chapter 11: Officials and Bandits!

Zhang San is in a particularly good mood today.

In order to take away three boxes of gold, silver and grain, Zhang San even generously took money to buy three ox carts in the town.

One ox cart was loaded with gold and silver treasures and cloth and silk, while the other two were carrying sacks of rice.

Zhang San sat on the ox cart and stroked the three large boxes, which were beautiful in his heart.

If you have money, you will be able to recruit troops and horses, and I believe that in less than a month or two, you will be able to recruit at least three or five hundred people.

If you have someone, you will rob the next landlord, so that you will have more money and food, and in less than a year and a half, you may be able to become a local tyrant.

Zhang San has a very good calculation in his heart, and recently heard that the peasant army in the north is getting more and more troublesome, and the official army can't beat them.

If the peasants in the north can rebel and become kings, why can't they themselves?

Thinking of the pleasure of sleeping with the two daughters of the landlord's house last night, Zhang San couldn't help but say: "It's so white!" ”

The little brother who was driving the car on the side couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "Big boss, what is really white?" ”

Zhang San gave him a touch on the back of the head and said, "I said that women's flesh is really white, didn't you kid do it yesterday, isn't it white?" ”

The little brother smiled and touched the back of his head, "It's really white, it's really white!" ”

"It's just a pity, why are those little girls so ignorant of sex, didn't Lao Tzu just sleep with them, why do you want to seek death!"

This made Zhang San very incomprehensible.

Zhang San fantasized about what he would look like in Yuanzhou City as the king in the future, and his heart fluttered.

His subordinates were also in high spirits at the moment, and after robbing the landlord, they realized that it was much faster to rob the landlord than to stop on the river to collect tolls and ransoms.

Just as everyone was discussing how to celebrate when they returned to the cottage, a bandit walking at the back of the line shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming!" ”

This shout caused the whole team to blow up.

Even Zhang San, who was sitting in the ox cart, was so frightened that he jumped out of the cart at this time.

He glanced back at the trail and saw that there was indeed a group of officers and soldiers rushing towards this side.

It was the first time for Zhang San to meet such a large army of officers and soldiers, and when he saw the banners of the officers and soldiers and the tall horses in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Look at the general in the lead, he is covered in armor, and there are even blood stains on the saber in his hand.

At this time, there was no need for Zhang San to say hello, and the younger brothers scattered and ran away.

Some thieves were reluctant to snatch what they had robbed, so they carried the silver taels in their arms, and when they ran, they didn't even need weapons, and they ran all the way with their stomachs in their hands.

Liu Shizhong saw the bandits slowly on the trail in front of him from afar.

Seeing that the bandits were about to run away, Liu Shizhong raised his saber and shouted: "Sons, rush me, kill a thief, and reward five taels of silver!" ”

Hearing the commander shouting this, the morale of the officers and men instantly soared, and the two legs that had no strength to run were instantly like chicken blood, and they spread out their weapons and ran towards the 'money'.

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, the current bandits are no longer a person, but a piece of silver for nothing.

Five taels of silver is a head, and there are 100 people on the side of the officers and soldiers, and the bandits in front are less than 20 people.

The officers and men have never fought such a simple battle before, and although they have not conducted drills for many years, this has not affected their meritorious achievements.

More than 100 people rushed forward with a roar in an instant, and this formation scared Zhang San and other thieves out of their guts.

"Hurry up, hurry up and get in the car!"

Zhang San desperately took the rope and frantically whipped the buffalo's buttocks.

But I didn't expect this buffalo to be a strong temper, the more Zhang San beat it, the more it didn't leave, and finally it was beaten hard, and even lay down on the ground directly, dead or alive!

Cow temper cow temper, buffalo temper can really kill people when it comes up!

This time it almost blew up Zhang San.

There are still three boxes of gold and silver treasures on the ox cart, and this old cow is now in a bull temper, and he is stunned.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers behind him were about to catch up, Zhang Sanxin opened the box containing gold, grabbed a handful of gold ingots and some jewels from it, stuffed them into his arms, turned around and ran away.

When the other thieves saw that the boss had fled, they also snatched the gold from the chest.

Now they don't look at silver anymore, and gold is worth more than silver.

Each of the bandits rushed to catch the most valuable gold first, and took the gold and then the jewels, until they could no longer stuff it in their arms, and then the bandits turned and threw away.

It's all on this, whoever doesn't run is a fool.

The fastest runners behind were two Qian Zong on horseback, they moved quickly, and after a while they caught up with the two slower bandits.

One of them stabbed him, and the two thieves were killed instantly, and the gold hidden in his arms fell to the ground.

When the two thousand presidents saw so much gold, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they all got off their horses to pick up the gold on the ground.

At this time, the commander Liu Shizhong also rode over on a tall horse, and when he saw that his two thousand presidents were actually grabbing the gold on the ground, he was suddenly angry.

"Bastard, don't chase the thief, you're still here to fight for gold and silver!"

When the two thousand presidents saw that the commander was coming, they suddenly didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they could only stand obediently and be scolded.

Liu Shizhong also knows the urine nature of the officers and soldiers under his hands, the Ming Dynasty has been more than 200 years, and the guard system has long been rotten.

Officers and men usually do not even have military salaries, and they all rely on crooked ways to survive if they want to survive.

With so much gold and silver popping up all at once, how can it not be exciting.

"Pass the order, everyone will go all out to hunt down the thief for me, and when the matter is completed, this command will be able to benefit from you?"

Liu Shizhong's words suddenly made his subordinates brighten.

The two thousand generals didn't bother with the gold anymore, picked up the saber in their hands, mounted on horseback, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill thieves!" ”

The bandits ran in a mess, and the officers and soldiers chased in a mess.

Zhang San's gang was so careless, they robbed so many things and dared to swagger slowly on the road.

Zhang San thought in his heart that the officers and soldiers would definitely loot the food in the people's homes in the town first, after all, it was 10,000 or 20,000 stone of grain, who couldn't see it.

As for Mo Qian's suggestion that he go to Mingyue Mountain, he was also completely vetoed by Zhang San.

Mingyue Mountain is so high, you can't be tired to death if you climb it, and you have robbed so much gold and silver, if you run to the mountain, there is no place to spend so much money!

Zhang San still felt that his Wuyun Mountain was good, very close to the Yuan River, and if the officers and soldiers came to ask for him, he would take the gold and silver directly into the river, relying on the water system of the Yuan River extending in all directions, and it would not be so easy for the officers and soldiers to catch them.

However, he did not calculate that the officers and soldiers would move so fast, and it took less than two and a half hours to catch up with them.

Zhang Santong has only 16 people under his command, and he is only 17, and there are at least 100 officers and soldiers.

Pick up arms and fight with the officers and soldiers? It's no different from sending people to death.

Zhang San ran frantically with a bag of gold, but he didn't run a few steps before he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

When he looked back, he saw a general in armor chasing after him viciously.

"Dog thief, where to run!"

In the end, two legs could not run on four legs, Zhang San wanted to get off the road and run up the mountains on both sides, but he didn't think that he had just run to the foot of the mountain, and he was caught up by the general behind him.

The saggerent swords were cut down, and a big head flew up!

Zhang San was directly beheaded by Li Yuanbin, the president of Qian.

When the rest of the thieves saw that the boss was dead, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to ask for gold, and a few clever people threw the gold in their arms to the ground and drilled directly into the mountains on both sides.

As soon as the officers and soldiers who pursued them saw that there was gold on the ground, they immediately rushed forward in a swarm, threw themselves directly to the ground, picked up the gold and stuffed it into their arms.

A few bandits who had given up their gold escaped into the mountains while the officers and soldiers were looting. ’

And those thieves who were reluctant to leave the gold were not so lucky, and after being caught up by the officers and soldiers, they directly poked into a hornet's nest, and the gold in their arms was also looted by the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of this battle won a complete victory, beheaded 17 anti-thieves, and seized countless gold and silver.

Zhang San's thieves who escaped from Wentang Town were all killed, and none of them survived.

After receiving the report, Liu Shizhong couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He said to his subordinates two thousand generals: "This time we can completely annihilate this gang of anti-thieves, you have made great contributions, and the commander of the book will be rewarded again, but the gold and silver seized from the anti-thieves must be handed over!" ”

The two thousand generals looked at each other when they heard this, but they didn't dare to disobey the orders of their superiors, so they could only ask their subordinates to hand over all the gold and silver.

The soldiers at the bottom finally grabbed a few ingots of gold, but before they could get their hands on it, they were taken away by their superiors, and their hearts were suddenly full of anger.

But they only dare to be angry in their hearts, and the soldiers dare not speak out, and once they say it, they will inevitably be whipped again.

Liu Shizhong returned to Wentang Town with three boxes of gold and silver and two carts of grain that had been seized, and the corpses of the thieves were also brought back, ready to go back to the county order to ask for merit.

When he returned to the town, he happened to meet Yan Wencai who was arguing with Chen Ping on the threshing floor.

Liu Shizhong walked over and asked, "What's the matter, why are you still arguing!" ”

Yan Wencai saw that it was Liu Shizhong who came, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord Liu, as far as I know, the rice of these people's Tibetan friends in their homes was all snatched from my family's grain depot, and I sent someone to transport the grain, but Chen Qianhu didn't let me transport it, you say, what is the reason?" ”

Liu Shizhong smiled slightly and said, "Virtuous nephew, you don't understand this, these things are all stolen goods now, and they must be sent to the government for inventory before they can be returned to you!" ”

Yan Wencai became anxious when he heard this.

Send it to the government for inventory, what kind of place is the official mansion, it is a bottomless pit!

Even if there is 100,000 stone of grain in it, if 5,000 stone can come out, it will already burn high incense.

"Lord Liu, this is unacceptable! My family has suffered this catastrophe, it is already very miserable, please raise your noble hand! ”

Liu Shizhong looked at Yan Wencai's crying appearance, and couldn't help but feel bored.

"Go, go, get out of the way, the official doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you here, I have to go back to the county seat!"
