In the eyes of the admiring people, Zou Run comforted Qi Erniu, found six more people, and explained the precautions for transferring the wounded with thousands of instructions, until he saw these people with torches, carrying stretchers, and slowly disappearing into the night in the distance, he began to deal with other things with confidence.

Chen Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, came up, he first bowed solemnly to Zou Run, expressed his heartfelt respect for Zou Run's act of cherishing his minions, and then pulled Zou Run and Zou Yuan to a secluded place to report important matters.

"The owner of the village, the second leader, Huang Zeli's house turned out to be a soft bone, I haven't used the means, the guy will honestly confess, he said that the family has a total of about 10,000 gold, silver and copper coins, more than 4,000 stones of rice and grain, five horses, ten cattle, and more than 100 sheep. But ......"

There was hesitation in Chen Xuan's tone.

When he heard the vital point, Chen Xuan stopped talking, which made Zou Yuan, who pricked up his ears to listen, and he interrupted Chen Xuan's pause anxiously. "What are you spitting out? But what? ”

"However, according to his confession, the cash hidden in his house is only about 5,000 yuan, and the rest of the gold and silver are buried in ......."

When Chen Xuan finished talking about the situation, Zou Yuan was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue, "God! Good deal! Huang Zeli's guy is too good at scraping the ground! It's a small village, but there are only sixty or seventy households, and he was stunned to scrape out tens of thousands of family properties......

Zou Yuan subconsciously lowered his voice, he couldn't imagine that a little-known seaside fishing village could squeeze out so much oil and water, which was really beyond his imagination.

After listening to this, Zou Run also noticed that something was wrong, and he remembered that the ordinary peasant households at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty generally had a family property in their early 100s, which also included fixed assets such as fields, as well as large livestock such as cattle.

Therefore, the working capital in the hands of a family is generally only about one or twenty yuan, and after a year of hard work, excluding the imperial grain and national taxes, and their own expenses, it is estimated that they can save seven or eight yuan, which is only about five or six taels when converted into silver.

This means that even if the whole village does not eat or drink, and hands over the money he earns to Huang Zeli every year, he will need to go without eating or drinking for nearly fifteen years to accumulate thousands of family fortunes.

Wrong! Not only is the amount of gold and silver unreasonable, but even the amount of grain and livestock is also unreasonable. This is almost a year's ration for 200 people, could it be that he has a lot of kindness to cover the rations of the entire village? It's not scientific!

Zou Run, who had calmed down, realized the various doubts behind this series of figures, and he vaguely felt that they were very closely related to each other, until the corner of his eyes inadvertently swept over the corner of a warehouse.

There was nothing else piled up in that corner, all of them were inconspicuous, rough straw bags.

So many straw bags? What is this for?

Zou Run raised his legs and stepped into the warehouse, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong salty smell, he couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeves, and then picked up the corner of a straw bag, and felt a little awkward in his hand, Zou Run frowned and twisted it with his fingers, and then sent his fingers to the tip of his nose to sniff lightly.

The taste was fishy, and I stretched out the tip of my tongue and licked it, which was salty......

There is a score! Zou Run had an idea in his mind, and he immediately ordered someone to bring Huang Zeli to an empty room, and he took Zou Yuan to interrogate him personally.

Seeing Huang Zeli, Zou Run decided to deceive him first.

"Master Huang, you are so calculating, you are so neat and tidy to give out your family property, are you afraid of money and money? Or do you want to move the tide eastward? ”

In the dark, Huang Zeli's eyes shrank suddenly, he didn't expect that the thief chief in front of him was not only too young, but also too smart, and he actually saw the problem at a glance, but he was not a person who was at ease and waited to be killed, for a while, his brain was spinning wildly, thinking hard about countermeasures.

In this way, after a long time, Huang Zeli pretended to be smiling, put on a resigned appearance and said:

"Hehe, where is the king, even if there is more family property, I must survive to enjoy, now the villain's life is in your hands, the villain is only willing to give all the family property, and wants to exchange the life of the next family, this transaction is worth it, so the villain has no half to hide."

"If the king doesn't believe it, he only needs to take a small boat and dig up the island I am talking about, but then the gold and silver will be found, and please raise your noble hand and let the villain and the family go together."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Zou Run was not in a hurry to answer, but laughed suddenly, and when he laughed, Zou Yuanwu on the side did not touch his head, and his face was dazed.

However, Huang Zeli had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard the laughter, his face was cloudy, and his heart was even more up, lest he be seen where the flaws were.

"Big ...... Why is the king laughing? ”

Seeing this, Zou Run became more and more sure of what he thought in his heart, so he suppressed his laughter, and a rare ruthlessness and viciousness appeared on his face.

"Ming people don't say dark words, Huang Da Cai, I'm afraid you already know that I won't let you go, right? What's more, I killed the only son you had high hopes for in front of you, and it was too late for you to hate me to death, how could I confess my family background before I suffered some persecution? ”

Zou Run deliberately used the false words of killing Huang Cheng to stimulate Huang Zeli, and when he saw the changing expressions on Huang Zeli's face, Zou Run was relieved, and then said his judgment firmly.

"I only heard that the people in the village said that you are a yellow pickpocket, why did you become a good money boy this time? If it weren't as I expected, the money buried on the island was actually the gold and silver you bought and sold for illicit salt! ”

"According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, those who cross the border to buy illicit salt exceed 120 catties, and those who are light are stabbed in the Far Evil Military Prefecture, or even Shamen Island, and those who are heavy are directly sentenced to hanging."

"Such a terrible sin, such a touching wealth, if I go to the island on a boat, the vicious salt dealers on the island will certainly not let me go, and the day I go to the island must be the day I die. Am I right or not? Huang Da Rich Man? ”

Zou Run's words broke the sky, and Zou Yuan, who had been stunned for a long time, reacted, and he was immediately furious.

"Shhh This trick is vicious! Wait for the master to chop off your bird's head, and then cut out your stomach and intestines, and see what poison is in your head, and how many liters of water are in your stomach! ”

Seeing that the desperate plan before his death was exposed, Huang Zeli could no longer hide the resentment and resentment in his heart, he pointed at Erzou, his face was crazy, and he scolded desperately:

"You can't be killed, you can't kill the pickled bandits! Kill my beloved son and take away my property, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go! Don't be complacent, although the gold and silver are good, they are not something that you can afford to live like you! The people standing behind me are all the big officials in Dengzhou, they only need to move their little fingers, they can crush you to death like crushing ants, sooner or later the officials and soldiers will be killed, and you will all suffer the punishment of Ling Chi! You will all be put before the public! Five horses split into corpses! ”

With a bang, Zou Yuan, who was extremely angry, drew a knife in his hand, and was about to step forward immediately, but he might as well be stopped by Zou Run.

"What are you stopping me from! Let's see me cut this guy apart with a knife first! ”

"Uncle, don't be angry, this guy is obviously provoking us and others, just want to die quickly, how can he be cheaper like this, uncle and took the knife, I have a good way to clean up this guy, keep it and make him suffer a lot."

This will make Huang Zeli die, it is really a waste, Zou Runhao said that he first persuaded Zou Yuan to collect the knife, and then asked someone to escort him out to wait for the public trial. As for the threatening words in this guy's mouth, Zou Run secretly remembered it in his heart, always vigilant, if the private salt business wants to grow, local officials will definitely participate, which is needless to say, but who is involved, this is not something that a small character like Huang Zeli can know.

There is a way that is ready to fly, and he has to send it, Zou Run knows that now is not the time to care about these things, so he pulled Zou Yuan, who was still angry, outside.
