Chapter Thirty-Nine: Forcibly Obtaining the Birth Compendium
The battle did not last long, but the loot was very rich. More than fifty military horses, plus dozens brought from Chaofu, made a total of more than 100. More than a dozen carts of gold, silver, and jewelry were loaded into sacks and carried by war horses.
The bodies of Ma Pai Jun and his men were all loaded into the Taiping cart and transported to a large pit dug in advance, where they were buried and the surrounding traces were erased.
More than a dozen chariots and the slain soldiers remained in the forest. Together with the unlucky ones who were killed back, they didn't move when they ripped off their leather armor. It is to let the people in the government find out and collect evidence, and all kinds of rumors spread.
After mentioning it, the dead ghost Ma Anguo became a scapegoat.
No one expected Liang Zhongshu to be so ruthless beforehand, so this is a temporary plan! Chao Gai summoned Wu Yong, Zhu Gui, San Ruan and other brothers to discuss. Breaking and crumbling, perfecting some steps decided to implement.
Shi Xiu and Su Ding took more than 30 guards to change into the leather armor of the soldiers and rode west. In the name of Nama Anguo, do something to make a name for yourself.
Dealing with these things, Chao Gai personally inspected the scene and found that nothing was missing. At the sound of an order, he disappeared into the vast darkness with the team.
The junction of Huazhou and Xiangzhou is two hundred miles away from Yuncheng, Jeju, Shandong, and it is impossible to arrive in half a night.
Therefore, Wu Xuexue has long been prepared.
Everyone lit torches at night, abandoned the official road, and hurried to Yuncheng. When it was almost dawn, they hid their armor and went forward in the form of horse dealers.
He walked through the uninhabited barren mountains and mountains, and returned to Chaofu in the evening of the next day. Su Ding and Shi Xiu also returned a day later as originally planned.
The Zhuang guards thought it was a normal horse team training, but no one knew what it was!
Chao Gai is generous and righteous, and he and his brothers rob the treasure and share it with him. The fifty guards each received three hundred taels of silver, and the crowd went crazy. Three hundred taels, this is an unimaginable wealth for an ordinary family.
He ordered no one to discuss, and those who violated the order were punished by military law. Then summoned eight brothers, including Wu Yong and Shi Xiu, and opened the secret door to enter the secret room. This is the ancestors of the Chao family asked skilled craftsmen to build it at a depth of several meters underground. It contains the wealth accumulated over generations and the treasures obtained from being a private businessman.
For example, leaning against the corner of the wall, there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes full of gold and silver ingots. In addition, many boxes contain jade agate, gold and silver jewelry, dishes and wine glasses, etc., the workmanship is exquisite and gorgeous, carved dragons and phoenixes, extremely luxurious. These are mostly antique goods that Chao Gai has purchased from tomb robbers.
The specific value is difficult to estimate, but it is certainly very valuable, and it is the heritage of Chaofu.
Whether it is Wu Yong or Shi Xiu, or Su Ding or San Ruan, everyone is from a poor background, where have you seen so much money? All of them were stunned and shocked. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses, and they couldn't help but be moved to see Chao Gai bring them in without warning.
It's such a good feeling to be trusted!
"Brother, I have followed my brother all my life." Li Kui is an acute and rectal man, and when his head is hot, he grabs Chao Gai's sleeve and yells.
Zhu Guiman joined the team for only three days, first participated in the treasure robbery operation, and now came to the secret room full of gold and silver treasures, and his mood was even more agitated at this time. Seeing that the stupid big man Li Kuibiao was loyal to his fellow countrymen, he hurriedly choked up and said: "Brother Tianwang, if you treat me like this, it will be difficult to repay you even if you die." ”
The two of them were going to bow down and bow to Chao Gai as they spoke.
"What are you doing? The manly husband is a daughter one by one. "Chao Gai saw Shi Xiu, Su Ding, and Ruan's brothers also coming to this set. hurriedly supported Li Kui and Zhu Gui, and scolded the others.
He really didn't expect that there would be such a reaction when he brought everyone to the secret room. In fact, who would have thought that in today's environment, unless they are their absolute henchmen, ordinary people cannot participate in major events or enter the forbidden land of the mansion.
However, Shi Xiu, Su Ding, and San Ruan didn't listen, and thought of this Chao Tianwang's personality. couldn't help but rush forward, and shouted for his brother Gao Yi with red eyes.
"Brothers are like siblings, and silver and gold are like garments." Chao Gai just picked up the two and saw a few people like this, and shouted at Wu Yong: "Jialiang, quickly hold them." ”
Wu Yong knows Chao Gai best, and he also knows that his friend is rich, and he thinks about it the most. Looking at this scene with a smile on his face, he sighed at the wonder of this unintentional move.
When he heard the shout, he hurriedly grabbed Shi Xiu, Su Ding, San Ruan and others and persuaded him: "Brothers, my brother has the world in mind, there is no need to come to those vain." Bringing you here means that we will share weal and woe in the future! ”
Hearing Wu Yong's words, everyone gave up and nodded heavily on the side.
"Brother, isn't it a woman?" Li Kui asked stupidly.
"Don't listen to that big ear." Chao Gai rolled his eyes, and then looked at Wu Yong, Shi Xiu and others: "The ancients said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." ”
"Aren't you also a bachelor, and you still say ......" Li Kui lowered his head and muttered. But after seeing Chao Gai's glaring gaze, he quickly shut up.
"Brothers, get down to business! The birthday compendium dedicated by Liang Shijie is here. Chao Gai clapped his hands and pointed to the sacks stacked in the center of the chamber.
"Let's go see what the hell is good."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, gathered around and opened the sacks, only to see the exquisite gold and silver utensils, dishes, wine glasses, and everything. In addition, there are many agate jades, large pieces such as pillows, and small pieces with wrenches.
There are some antiques in excellent condition, like the ones in the corners. These gold jewelry shells are all good goods scavenged by Liang Zhongshu.
It is said that it is a hundred thousand birthdays, but the real value is definitely more than that.
"Straight sissy thief, this is a urinal!" Li Kui grabbed a strange object and scolded: ", that old dog Cai got up at night and fell to death." ”
"Thieves and birds, they didn't even have decent clothes before, but these corrupt officials can't eat, drink, and Lazar without gold and silver. Grandpa vowed to kill them all. Ruan Xiaoqi saw a pile of gold, silver and jade, and gritted his teeth and scolded. Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoer, and Su Ding himself were also scolded.
Chao Gai doesn't say that if he has money, even if he doesn't have money, he won't accept it with a clear conscience. Looking at the gold, silver and jade, and at the brothers, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, these things have been obtained by us, and then they will be returned to the people as we said before." Fifty percent of them are used to help those who can't survive. ”
This was negotiated by the brothers before the robbery of the Birth Gang. After all, these are ill-gotten gains looted by corrupt officials, and they have not been able to live in peace with their own hearts.
How to use it and how many methods to use have been discussed.
"Twenty percent will be put into the warehouse and set aside for our development capital, such as opening hotels, purchasing materials, etc., and the remaining three achievements will be divided equally between our brothers."
Wu Yong, Shi Xiu, Su Ding, San Ruan and others naturally did not have the slightest objection.
Chao Gai went to the corner of the wall and walked with a large wooden box in one hand and put it on the ground, opened it and saw that one box was gold ingots and the other was silver ingots, which were dazzling.
"Those gold and silver vessels can be smelted and reforged, but jade and agate cannot see the light. Brothers, do the math, and take as much as you want. ”
Shi Xiu, Su Ding, and San Ruan heard these words, and their hearts were moved again. This strong man who looks rough on the outside is actually as careful as a hair.
No one took the gold or silver, and they didn't even find it tempting.
"Well, hurry up, you have to celebrate!" Chao Gai urged everyone.
Wu shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Hey, brother, have you forgotten?" The reward for the guards is fifteen thousand, and it needs to be counted in this. In addition, you want to remove yourself and don't want to divide it, yes or no? ”
was really guessed by Wu Yong, and embarrassment flashed on Chao Gai's face: "I have money, what do I share?" ”
"If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle." Wu shook his head and smiled.
Shi Xiu, Li Kui, San Ruan, Zhu Gui and others came back to their senses and helped one after another.
"Yes, my brother can't take the lead in violating it."
"Yes, yes, yes, say yes in advance, then do it."
"No matter how much you can get, this is the first time the brothers have made a sale."
……
Chao Gai looked at this group of brothers, and was very relieved in his heart, so he could only follow their wishes. Get rid of one and a half, and nine people divide the remaining half evenly.
In the end, each of them took a hundred taels of gold and a hundred taels of silver.
Chao Gai repeatedly told the brothers to keep it strictly confidential, and everyone became brothers. Then he joined hands and left the secret room happily.
Kidnap the Birth Gang! In the end, the money in hand was not more than a thousand yuan. But everyone is happy in their hearts. This is to eliminate harm for the people, rob the rich and help the poor. If there is a chance to spread it in the future, it is a real hero.
At the banquet, it is natural to push the cup and change the lamp, talk and laugh, and shout. Especially Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and down, and the two brothers were good at fist fighting.
This private celebration banquet is not over from morning to afternoon!
Chao Gai is not satisfied with the small profits at the moment, and there are many things to do when the time is pressing. Carrying a large bag of gold and silver, he and Wu Yong found Sanruan.
Ruan Xiaoqi drank too much, slept soundly, and snored like thunder.
Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu was still sober, and invited the two of them to sit down and brew tea.
"Two brothers, are you coming?"
Wu Yong saw Chao Gai nodding in agreement, without beating around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Erlang, Wulang, I don't know how many people you can pull up in Shijie Village?" ”
Seeing the mention of Shijie Village, Ruan Xiaoer came to his senses, with bitterness on his face: "Shuibo is occupied by strong people, and the government is forced to pay taxes, and many people are miserable. There are a lot of people like our brothers who are in tattered clothes and messing around. ”
"Hey, it's better to die than to live!" Ruan Xiaowu sighed and picked up the conversation: "As for how many people can be pulled, I can't talk full, but my brothers estimate." As long as there is money and food to eat, it should not be difficult to pull three or two hundred people. ”
"Good!" Chao Gai nodded when he heard the words of the two brothers, and then ordered: "Brother, rest for a day, and tomorrow your brothers will lead the escort back to Shijie Village." The first is to find a good place to open a restaurant in the lake. The second is where to secretly win over fishermen, who are loyal and honest and can endure hardships. Give more money and food, and you will lead the training of the navy. ”
"No problem, we'll do it well." Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu heard that money and food were allocated to recruit people, and the two brothers were busy patting their chests to assure.
Even if you don't have a culture, you know that recruitment and training are crucial. Besides, why don't they want to be the commander of the team?
Shining lintel, even dreaming will wake up laughing!
