Chapter 067: Thieves Don't Go Empty
Tang Wuhu and his mother,
After eating tiger meat, I stayed in the cottage for another night,
They left early the next morning.
Dazhai Lord Long Tianhu stopped Tang Wuhu and said,
Brother Tang is still here to be the owner of the village,
I'll leave you with this golden chair.
Tang Wuhu refused to speak,
My eldest brother, Brother Jiang, and Principal Dong,
They are still waiting for me in Qingmakan,
I have to go back.
Long Tianhu felt that he should follow Brother Tang,
So Long Tianhu said,
Brother Tang, now that I'm following you,
Where are you going? Where do I go,
My brethren also went with me.
Tang Wuhu looked at this gang of bandits,
He's a bit of a dilemma,
I haven't spoken,
Look at these bandits,
He can't refuse.
So he said,
Since you are going,
I can't stop you,
Then come with me,
But wear the clothes of the people,
Don't swagger through the market,
If the officers and soldiers recognize it,
We're wanted by the government.
You can't let them recognize it.
These bandits all agreed,
They prepared it right away,
Following Tang Wuhu's mother and son,
Let's go to Qingmakan together,
But these bandits are very low-key,
Especially when you go through the village,
They pretended to be ordinary people fleeing the famine,
did not disturb the local people,
but quietly passed by there,
This is because the master of Dazhai Long Tianhu is disciplined,
These bandits are also very obedient to orders,
They did not commit any offences in the autumn,
It was also Tang Wuhu who was strict with them,
Otherwise, it will alarm the government,
They're in trouble,
But it's not all like that,
As they passed through a village,
Knowing that there is a rich man in this village,
This rich man is very rich,
All the land near here is his.
Many peasants rented their land,
He is a well-known landowner here.
His name is Cao Taigong,
Because these bandits have long wanted to kidnap his son,
Knock him a sum of money,
But he also has a militia insurance team under his command,
They did not succeed in several actions,
Passing by here this time,
The thief does not go empty,
Immediately they surrounded the manor.
Tang Wuhu couldn't stop it if he wanted to,
I had to let them go,
How can a bandit not rob the rich?
If they don't rob the rich people, where do they have money?
This time they passed by,
We must not let go of this rich man,
They surrounded the rich man,
Put the gunners of the four turrets,
All captives,
Then open the gates,
These bandits rushed in,
Led by the Dragon Tiger,
Led the people to the hall,
Catch the old rich man Cao Taigong,
Cao Taigong looked at a group of strongmen,
Cao Taigong was terrified.
He immediately clenched his fists and said,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Come here,
I have treasures of silver and gold to offer,
But don't hurt my family,
As long as they don't hurt them,
I will give you all these treasures.
Tang Wuhu saw it next to him,
Speak to the rich man right away,
Mrs. Cao, you're right,
As long as you hand over the gold and silver treasures,
We won't hurt your family,
At this time, Cao Taigong's little son.
He hugged his fist to Tang Wuhu and said,
Thank you to the king of the mountain.
Tang Wuhu held a big knife,
He looked at Cao Taigong with fierce eyes,
Cao Taigong was afraid of the big knife,
Afraid of the big black man in front,
Hands raised and fell to cut off his head.
So he immediately commanded,
Bring up the treasure of gold and silver.
Chests of gold and silver were brought up,
Long Tianhu ordered someone to open the box to check,
Seeing that it was full of white flowers,
And then they were satisfied,
They also robbed a lot of cattle in the barn.
Cattle are hung up in carts,
They loaded their carts with gold and silver treasures.
drove the carriage away,
This time they went very fast.
for they robbed the rich men,
and did not kill people,
This rich man will definitely report to the official,
When the time comes, the officers and soldiers will catch up,
They're in trouble,
At this time, Tang Wuhu also grabbed a horse.
He sat on his horse and said to the dragon tiger,
Dazhai Lord,
I've told you to keep a low profile,
We're just going to Tsing Makan this time,
It's not for robbery,
But you bandits have a rule,
That is, the thief does not go empty,
This time I robbed so much silver,
Of course we have to be happy,
But you don't know that danger can arise at any time.
Because the old rich man will definitely report to the official,
The officers and troops pursued us behind,
If we go a little slower,
The officers and soldiers caught up,
We're in trouble.
Long Tianhu replied nonchalantly beside him,
Brother Tang, let's be bandits,
Who is not greedy for money,
The thief does not go empty, it is the old rule of our bandits,
We can't let go of this rich man,
That's our rule,
Now let's go as soon as possible,
If the officers and soldiers catch up,
But no, I will scatter all this money among my brethren.
Then we scattered and fled,
Rendezvous at Wulong Mountain,
What do you think of the worst-case scenario?
Tang Wuhu replied,
It's very good,
As long as you save your lives,
We will have a chance to grab gold and silver treasures in the future.
If you lose your life,
There will be no chance in the future.
They went down to a great mountain,
There is no road in the mountains at all,
They had to scatter their gold and silver treasures to the little minions.
Then they went over the mountain,
At the foot of this mountain,
Tang Wuhu met his sister-in-law again,
The sister-in-law saw a group of people,
scared her enough,
I thought I had seen bandits,
These bandits don't care about this,
When you see a man, you kill, when you see a woman, you force it,
It's their old rule,
But she also saw the big black man,
The big bearded black man was her brother,
She called her husband out,
Tang Wuhu saw it.
He immediately dismounted and said,
Brother Wenhu,
This time we met again,
Come with me and my wife to Qingmakan.
His wife sat on a white horse in the back,
Looking at him with a smile,
Wen Hu was scared enough by this group of strongmen.
He replied immediately,
Brother, now that you are strong,
I'm so scared,
I don't want to go with you,
Your sister-in-law is pregnant now,
I'm going to take care of her at home,
I hope she will give me a son,
In this way, the fireworks of our Tang family can also continue.
Tang Wuhu thought about it next to him,
It's the same thing,
Several of his brothers are dead,
Now his brothers are left,
He has no wife,
Only my brother has a wife, and now my wife is pregnant,
If you give birth to a child,
Their Tang family has a seed,
Otherwise, they will have no children and no grandchildren.
Although there are many Qing people,
But their Tang family is now about to become extinct,
So he left some silver to his eldest brother,
Take this group of strongmen and continue to hurry,
When these strongmen go,
Wen Hu's wife walked out,
Snatched the bag of silver.
She said happily,
Your brother is rich,
It's a pity that the money is not easy to come by,
We can't go with them,
If you are caught by the officers and soldiers,
You have to be beheaded by the officers and soldiers,
And the robbers,
One by one, the eyebrows are flying,
has no good intentions towards the old lady,
It's good to follow their mother.
Wen Hu said beside him,
Don't talk about it, wife,
We're a family of bandits,
Grandpa and dad are bandits,
I'm also a bandit,
It's just that now I don't wash my hands,
My brother is still obsessed,
He advised me not to go with him,
I advised him, but he did not listen to me.
We are well water, not river water,
He walked his Yangguan Road, and I crossed my single-plank bridge.
Then his wife took out a large ingot of silver and said,
Use the money to buy some wine and meat,
Our house can barely open the pot,
This time I don't have money to buy good things to eat,
Wenhu had no choice but to take the silver,
I went to the street to buy good food.
Besides, the rich man Cao Taigong,
He was very afraid of these bandit beards,
Immediately bring out a lot of silver,
This saved him from being harmed,
Cao Taigong is also a person who can think openly,
He thinks that everything is outside the body,
Life is the most important thing,
If you lose your life because you don't give money,
It's not worth it,
Money is gone, you can make it again,
If you lose your life, you can't come back,
So he gave a lot of silver,
This protects the lives of the family.
But he was very unwilling,
Wait for the gang of robbers to leave.
Cao Taigong called his son over and ordered,
Hurry up and set up a car to go to the county government to report to the official,
Let's just say that there is a gang of bandits and robbers,
robbed us of our gold and silver,
fled to the front,
Go and report to the police.
This small mountain village is far away from the county yamen,
They had to put on the carts,
The car owner runs in front,
The big horse pulls the cart,
rushed to the county office,
Of course Tang Wuhu didn't know,
But they judged,
That rich man Cao,
I'll definitely report to the official,
So they didn't dare to stay,
Always on the road,
After the county magistrate received the report,
Immediately send officers and soldiers,
The officers and soldiers had cavalry and infantry,
The cavalry rode forward,
The infantry with swords and guns,
Running in the back forward,
At this time in that little hotel,
The owner of the small hotel is called Zhang Fugui,
It was his brother Zhang Youcai who ran the hall,
The two of them sniffed for the news,
I heard that Tang Wuhu was on the road now,
also brought a gang of bandits,
Zhang Fugui is going to answer.
Zhang Fugui said to Zhang Youcai,
We have heard the news,
Brother Tang is on the way,
With a gang of strongmen,
He's coming this way,
We must answer them,
I don't know if they answered Tang Wuhu, did they?
See below.
