Chapter Twelve Sword Wielding Only for Money(1/2)
() On the ninth day of September, it is appropriate to break ground and conduct sacrifices, but avoid weddings.
Zhao Si put some effort into the first transaction. They were just a small group of bandits. They rushed into the city in broad daylight and shouted for robbery. They were obviously immature. It was not too easy to be caught in one fell swoop. Before they developed, being a bandit was a good idea.
The choice is to be a robber. According to the process, the first step is to check the points.
The Liu family in the West Market is the head family of Cao Zhi's house. Mazi and others are all from Linli. They can understand this family clearly in just a few words. Zhao Si's selfishness was also involved in choosing this family. Your uncle slept with me.
A woman has to pay a price, right? Besides, your family is so unkind because they want to get rich. They work with businessmen to drive up the price of food. If they don’t rob you, who will they rob?
When Zhao Si announced to his subordinates that he would turn into bandits from now on, everyone became uneasy. Doing this job would cost you your head. Zhao Si made it clear that if you don't want to do it, you should go into the cell alone and you will lose your head.
Those with heads continued to wait for beheading, while those who deserved to be imprisoned continued to count maggots inside. Lao Huang and Mazi had nothing to say, no matter what, they were destined to die. After the others came out, no one wanted to continue to go to jail, and they all gave in after struggling for a long time.
, it’s just strange that officials and thieves are theoretically incompatible, so what’s the explanation for the inclusion of an official in this team?
Bantou Sun was originally Cao Zhi's follower. As long as Cao Zhi gave orders to control bandits and robbers, he would just do it.
Zhao Si dispersed the remaining money and asked these men to pay for their settlement. Now that there is a natural disaster, having money means you can survive. Money can buy food no matter when, and food is now in the hands of some big households.
The grain market is open every day as usual, but the price of grain changes day by day. One tael of silver was originally enough for a family of four to spend in March, but now it can only last a few days. What Zhao Si scattered are Cao Zhi's savings over the years.
, each person has a full ten taels, ten taels of silver, and he can live a few lives now. Following a commander like Zhao Si, it is really nothing to say. The ideas that Zhao Si usually instilled have gradually begun to bear fruit. Who said that men can't dance?
A knife and a gun? Who said that only women are allowed to have sex with three husbands and young masters? Why do we have to hold back when we see a beautiful woman? Why do we men have to live such a miserable life?
What's more, Zhao Si has set a rule that any property he gets will be divided into 28% and 80% will be confiscated, and the rest will be divided among his subordinates. The wealth and silk are very attractive to both men and women. After his subordinates learned about this good thing, their enthusiasm became even higher.
Cao Zhi also sent someone to bring word that the county magistrate, the chief minister, and others who had some power in Linli had all been temporarily dismissed from their posts, making it easier to act in the future.
…………
I followed Zhao Si for several days and had good food and drink every day. These people under his command were all considered to be burly men among the same kind. It was already two o'clock in the morning. Mazi set up a ladder by the wall of Liu's house and poked his head around for a while.
After that, report back.
"Sir, see clearly!" Mazi ran back with a pair of rusty Xuanhua axes in hand and said excitedly: "There are two nursing homes at the door, and the other dozen or so are sleeping soundly in a room at the back.
, I took a brick and threw it in. I smashed the door panel and no one woke up. Sir, do you do it now?"
"Did I ask you to throw bricks? You are so smart," Zhao Si frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Whoever makes his own decisions again, I will let Lao Huang skin him!"
Lao Huang's skin-peeling skills are top-notch, and this is not a threat.
"Tiger, donkey."
"Here! Sir."
"You two, climb over the wall and go in. Use a chain to lock the room where the guard sleeps. After locking it, I'll keep a tight watch around it. If anyone wants to come out, I'll have a big knife at my service."
"Yes! Sir."
"Duck, Captain Sun!"
"Sir, please give me your orders!"
"Guard the door, and if you see anyone running out, you will chop it down. If any official comes to question you, Squad Leader Sun, you can deal with it."
"yes!"
"If you're not cruel, don't do this. Do you understand?" Zhao Si's face darkened and he said viciously: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth! There are lives in your hands now, so just wipe your own neck with a knife if you are soft-hearted!"
This matter is not a joke. It's okay for these people not to know, but Zhao Si knows very well that if he messes up, Cao Zhi will be in trouble, and he will have no place to live. Sooner or later, these big households will be attacked by tens of thousands of disaster victims.
Isn't it the same as who robs? Besides, these people have raised the price of grain to an incredible level. They are not selling rice, they are simply selling money.
"Others, follow me. Do you remember what I said? Repeat it!"
Except for Lao Huang, the other eight people looked solemn and replied together: "The coward will starve to death, and the bold one will starve to death!"
Zhao Si waved his hand, led Mazi and others to climb the stairs and jumped in. The courtyard was a quadrangle, and it took only a few people to jump down. The two nurses sitting at the gate suddenly became alarmed. Before they could say anything, Zhao Si
Si and Lao Huang turned their sword handles upside down and knocked them unconscious.
The nurse was naturally a woman. Mazi stepped forward and touched her a few times. When she saw Zhao Si's unkind expression, she was so frightened that she stopped immediately.
Zhao Si waved his hand again, and Huzi and Donkey immediately trotted to the big room where the nurse lived. With a clatter of iron chains in their hands, they locked the room tightly. After locking it, they took out the big knife and separated.
Stay in front of two windows.
The Liu family is indeed one of the largest households in Linli. The rooms on all sides are decorated with large red sandalwood carvings. There is a bronze tripod and stone lion in front of each room. The steps are all marble, the pillars are all rosewood, and there is a water tank-sized pestle in the middle of the courtyard.
The gold-colored bronze Xuande furnace has sparks dotted in the furnace. When you get closer, you will suddenly feel the strange fragrance.
"Bring everyone to the middle of the courtyard. If anyone shouts, slap him several times to shut him up." Zhao Si touched his chin and casually ordered: "If you are a scoundrel and refuse to come out, just stab him to death."
Old Huang pulled down his black turban and covered his face. He smiled and told the others to disperse. After a while, there was a loud banging on the door, shouts, surprises, and screams.
In just one stick of incense, everyone in the courtyard was brought in. Zhao Si was dumbfounded. There were thirty or forty people there. Sun Bantou was waiting at the door. They were all acquaintances in the yamen, and they were not afraid of making a fuss. Old Huang Hei
The clothes were stained with blood, showing that a knife had been used.
There were thirty or forty people, mostly men, most of them servants. The head of the house was an old woman over fifty years old. After being escorted out by Mazi, she was only wearing a small gown, with one skinny butt exposed.
Zhao Si stood in the middle of the courtyard, knowing he was the leader, so he rushed over in a few steps and roared: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Are you afraid of losing your head if you dare to act wild like me?"
Several torches were lit in all directions. When Zhao Si saw that there were three teenage boys coming out with the old woman, they were all naked, and his chest suddenly felt tight. When he saw the woman again, her skin was red and her face was ferocious.
Immediately, evil arose in his guts.
This old woman surnamed Liu is the surname of the emperor's family. If you take out the genealogy, you can have some relationship with the emperor's relatives. Although she is not an official, her eldest son is the younger brother of Jizhou Yushi Supervisor, and her son is
As the official wife of Linli County Magistrate, I came to this small county town.
Since she was from a prominent family, it was no wonder that she had the confidence to speak rudely to Zhao Si. In Linli, how could anyone dare to be disrespectful to Danai Liu? Even though a big knife was held at her neck, she was not afraid.
Zhao Si called out.
Zhao Si smiled ferociously: "Your mother."
The eldest son of the Liu family was stunned and said in shock: "Man? You, a man, dare to bring people to my house to commit murder? Who are you? Get this bitch tied up and sent to the Yamen!"
Zhao Si was furious, looking at the dozens of people moving around, he no longer hesitated, and struck down with the big knife in his hand. The old woman could only scream, and her upper body was divided into two parts. She fell to the ground with helpless eyes.
Confidence.
Linli, how long has it been since we saw bandits! Killing them at will, we haven’t seen them in a hundred years!
Kill people, just kill people. There is so much nonsense. Seeing this old woman actually ruining those young boys who have not yet fully grown up, Zhao Si can't help it anymore. She is already menopausal, and she still does three at a time, with no priority.
Clearly, she was being robbed, but she acted so aggressively that she looked like a bandit. How insane was she to do this?
It was the first time in his life to kill someone. Looking at the liver and intestines on the ground and smelling the blood on his body, Zhao Si felt dizzy.
There was chaos among the crowd. Seeing that the master of the house had suffered an unexpected incident, several women rushed out screaming, desperate. Seeing this, Lao Huang immediately stepped forward to protect Zhao Si. The big knife in his hand was flying up and down. Now Lao Huang is no longer what he used to be.
He is a ruthless person,
Having been with Zhao Si for a long time, he has become more arrogant. Not to mention the good food and drink, his body is countless times better than before. Six people rushed out, and Lao Huang slashed him six times.
As soon as there was a sound, six more corpses appeared on the ground.
Hu Zi and Donkey's side also became lively. There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard. All the locked nursing homes were awakened. The door panel was immediately kicked by the people inside, making it sound like a frame. Two doors and windows were also opened. Hu Zi
The donkeys were on their own side, and every time they came out, they would chop down each one. Seeing the situation, Mazi also ran over to help. After hacking a few donkeys, everyone was frightened and immediately became quiet.
The situation was brought under control soon after, and Zhao Si snorted coldly: "No more trouble?"
It was quiet in the courtyard, everyone's lips were moving, but no sound was made.
"We are here just to ask for money. If you stay calm, you won't die. If anyone makes trouble again, these people lying on the ground will be your role models." Zhao Si calmed down and said loudly and slowly: "We will do it once we get the money.
Leave, I see that most of you are servants and hard-working people, so I won’t embarrass you."
After saying that, he waved his hand. Mazi quickly opened the door and went out, calling the ducks outside to help. Danzi and others who were guarding the crowd had already received Zhao Si's order and went into the house to search. More than 30 people in the courtyard only
Surrounded by Zhao Si and Lao Huang, these dozens of people did not dare to take a step rashly as they looked at the sword that was still dripping blood.
The strange aroma coming out of the copper stove in the middle of the courtyard was mixed with the blood, and it actually smelled of alcohol. Old Huang smiled "hehe", looked at Zhao Si and raised his hand, making a toast gesture.
"After this, I will have enough wine to drown you," Zhao Si chuckled and said, "Follow me, as long as I have something to eat, you will have something to drink. You are so stupid, but I
I know you are a thief."
Old Huang laughed so hard that he squatted down and chopped off the hand of the old woman Zhao Si had killed with one swing of his sword. He took the half of the hand and stroked it, then pulled off a ring from the top.
It was an emerald with a luminous pearl set on it. After taking the ring, Old Huang walked into Zhao Si and wanted to put it on him to please him.
"Hey, I forgot about this," Zhao Si pulled off a baggage from his waist and pointed at the group of people: "Go, take off all the valuable things those people are wearing and put them inside, they are all Fenjiu."
When Lao Huang heard this, he was overjoyed. He took the baggage, picked up the sword and rushed in.
Mazi and others who were searching the house came out one after another. Everyone carried a few baggage. The baggage was full, including silver and copper coins. There were all kinds of brass, silver, wine utensils and four treasures from the blue and white kiln. Some of the baggage contained
It was also stuffed with calligraphy and paintings of famous people. Zhao Si didn't know the goods. These things were probably valuable. He just had to wait for Cao Zhi to appraise them before making any plans.
There is also a granary in the backyard, which is filled with bags of white rice. It is difficult to move these belongings after searching them. Now I can only look at the rice and sigh.
"Sir, how about we throw all this food outside? Let the hungry people carry it on their own. This is robbing the rich and giving to the poor, which is better than leaving it here to feed the rats." Mazi saw Zhao Si worried and came up with an idea.
Said: "There are so many people in the courtyard, and each person can carry a few bags to almost finish the transportation."
Zhao Si heard that it made sense. Isn't everything we are doing now just for the tens of thousands of victims? Wouldn't it be stupid to leave what is ready and not do it? Just let Mazi and the others supervise the dozens of people in the yard to move the grain.
Come.
