Yuncheng Zhixian slept so dead, Zeng Hao and the others kicked open the door and entered the room, but he didn't wake up!

The concubine next to him trembled with fright, trembled and pushed him with her hand, and said in a crying voice: "Official, official, wake up quickly......"

Yuncheng Zhixian was shaken awake, slapped the concubine's hand away, and said in an extremely impatient voice: "What's the matter, what's the matter!" The hell will you let me sleep?! ”

Because he was facing away from Zeng Hao and them, he hadn't noticed that Zeng Hao and the others were behind him.

"After you, ...... behind" The concubine was already crying out in fright, and her fingers trembled and pointed to the back of the magistrate.

"What's behind me? There's a ghost behind me! The magistrate turned around as he mocked, and then time seemed to stand still.

"Big brother, how did you get in?" The magistrate asked.

"Just come in." Zeng Hao shrugged.

"Oh, don't kill me, okay?"

"It's not that it's not negotiable, as long as you're willing to cooperate."

"Definitely cooperate."

"Then you can take me to your little vault now...... Don't tell me no, your corrupt official name is well-known in this area. ”

"Yes, but you'll have to help me...... My legs are weak......"

After counting the belongings in the county government, Zeng Hao was frightened by the stolen money of corrupt officials in this era.

Not to mention the antique treasures in the county government, he also dug a small cellar, which was specially used to put copper coins and silver taels, and the cellar was stuffed all over the place.

Why was commerce and trade so prosperous in the Song Dynasty, but there was such a shortage of copper coins in circulation every year?

It is related to the lack of raw materials, and it is also related to people like Yuncheng Zhixian.

Many wealthy businessmen and officials will do the same as the magistrate of Yuncheng, keeping a large amount of copper and silver at home, and not taking them to the market for circulation.

Because they know that copper and silver will become more and more scarce in the future, and the more they will be more valuable, so they will all be kept at home and wait for appreciation, and they will not consider that this will form a vicious circle, causing the country to be more and more short of money, and the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult.

Another one, even a small Yuncheng magistrate can be greedy so much, what about a powerful official like Cai Jing?

I can't imagine it!

The rich are getting richer and richer, and the poor are getting poorer and poorer, this sentence is vividly reflected in this era.

Looking at the copper coins all over the cellar, Zeng Hao sneered at the magistrate who was standing aside: "I didn't expect that your official work is not big, and you are greedy for a lot of money, and you spend a lot of money, right?" ”

"I didn't spend a single copper penny, it's all here...... Don't dare to spend ...... Our family has been farmers for generations, and I'm really scared......" Zhixian said with a depressed face.

"Why didn't you think you were the son of a peasant when you were exploiting the common people a lot?!" At this time, Zeng Hao had a feeling that Director Hou was on his upper body.

"Can you give me another chance? I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person. ”

"Do you think this is the Infernal Affairs? Pull it down! ”

Not long after the minions took Yuncheng Zhixian away, Chao Gai came back to report that the south gate had been captured.

Zeng Hao decided to open up the other two roads from Liangshan to Yuncheng in one go.

The officers and men guarding those two roads had no idea that the enemy would come from their rear, and since it was a late night break, they were all easily subdued.

All the officers and soldiers were taken together in the place where the city was originally used as a place of worship, and the number of them was 596 in total.

Zeng Hao asked them if they would like to join Liangshan, and if they were unwilling and would not force them, they would have to leave Yuncheng and not be allowed to take any money with them.

These soldiers are all natives of Yuncheng, and the family is all in Yuncheng, how can they be willing to leave, plus Liangshan's reputation has always been good, so many people hesitated a little, or chose to stay and join Liangshan.

However, a small number of generals said that they wanted to leave, even if they gave up all their current possessions and left their hometown of Yuncheng.

Because they all knew the news that the Jiangzhou army was about to attack, they thought that Zeng Hao and others would definitely not be the opponents of the imperial army this time, so they were unwilling to join Liangshan and were finally arrested by the imperial court as a thief, because it was to be beheaded.

Zeng Hao didn't keep it, but emphasized again: "It's okay if you don't join, but you must leave Yuncheng now, and all the valuable things on your body must be left behind." ”

"Can the family leave with us?" A general asked boldly.

"Yes, but they are not allowed to carry any money with them; If you think it's okay, you can go back to your family now, and leave here with them, and my people won't stop you. ”

Hearing this, some of the generals hesitated.

As mentioned earlier, Yuncheng is a relatively isolated small city, and it is not directly bordered by the two cities of Zhencheng and Yecheng next to it, but is separated by mountains and rivers.

If they don't have money or transportation, they don't feel confident that they will be able to go to other cities alive.

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, this part of the generals changed their minds and chose to stay.

Yuncheng Zhixian originally wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Zeng Hao: "What I said can leave voluntarily, including you." ”

"Big brother, didn't you just say that as long as I cooperate with you well, I can be fine?" Zhixian said with a humble expression.

"That's right, what I'm saying is that my side can let you go, so tomorrow I will hand you over to the common people to deal with, they agreed to let you go, I will definitely let you go without saying a word." Zeng Hao said with a smile.

Zhixian's face turned pale: "Big brother, what's the difference between you and killing me?!" ”

Zeng Hao patted his face and said in a mocking tone: "It seems that you also know that you have done a lot of unconscionable things to them, right?" ”

"I, I change my mind, I am willing to join you Liangshan, as long as you don't hand me over to the people."

Zeng Haohe sneered: "You want to join, I won't accept it yet, do you think our Liangshan is a garbage dump, and we can collect any garbage?" ”

The magistrate still wanted to continue to beg Zeng Hao, but Zeng Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and directly asked someone to drag him down and put him in prison.

After a while, the generals who said they were leaving Yuncheng came back with their families and mouths.

If you don't say that the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty is serious, just such a small Yuncheng, there are more than ten kinds of official positions of various sizes, and now there are more than ten generals who just say that they want to leave.

Zeng Hao gathered them together, told them to line up, and asked them: "Let me ask again, you and your family members don't have any money on you, right?" ”

The generals shook their heads.

"That's okay, line up and come over one by one to search, and you can leave directly if you don't have anything with you."

Hearing Zeng Hao's words, the faces of some generals changed suddenly, they didn't expect that there would be a body search.
