Later, under the leadership of Zhu Chongba, tasks were assigned to Guo Toad and everyone else.
The preparations were completed quickly.
Early the next morning, Guo Toad changed into a pair of shabby clothes and ran to his third aunt's house in Shuanglian Town. He only said that he owed gambling debts and was not being pressed by his creditors. He had no place to stay and had to join the Shi family to save his life.
Guo Toad said that he only wanted to survive, and he would not keep any of the money he earned from selling himself, but he would devote all of it to his aunt and uncle.
Under this situation, Guo Toad's uncle was very happy to be his guarantor. With people from this town acting as guarantors, Guo Toad soon got into the Shi family.
Almost ten days have passed again.
Guo Toad finally signaled the next step outside the Shi family compound.
Zhu Qiwu and others immediately contacted each other overnight and delivered the Mongolian sweat medicine.
On the night of the next day as promised, Guo Toad took the opportunity to drink the soup and rice served by the strong men in the nursing home to prepare the medicine for sweating.
After the young men ate their food, within a quarter of an hour, they all fell down with huffing and puffing.
Everyone else in the Shi Family Courtyard was in panic, thinking they had eaten something poisonous.
Taking advantage of this panic, Guo Toad knocked over the strong man at the door with a stick and opened the door of Shi's house.
Squeak!
With a knock on the door, the front door of Shi's house opened wide.
Guo Toad raised a fire at the gate to signal.
Zhu Chongba and the others, who had been in ambush for a long time, jumped out immediately.
"Brothers, fight in with us!"
Zhu Chongba, wearing a cowhide and black iron leaf armor and holding a steel knife, was the first to rush forward.
Behind them, Tang He, Zhou Dexing and others followed closely behind, grabbing weapons and rushing towards the Shi Family Courtyard.
Zhu Qiwu followed at the end, leading a few people as guards and rearguards to prevent the Shi family from slipping through the net.
"who!?"
Zhu Chongba and others had just rushed into the gate of Shi's house when they were met with angry shouts and questions.
It turned out to be Shi Hu, the third eldest son of the Shi family.
When he saw his young man lying down, he immediately led his men to strengthen their defenses, fearing that someone might be attacking.
really.
As soon as I reached the gate, a group of black-clad soldiers rushed towards me.
"Brothers, kill!"
Zhu Chongba and others covered their faces with oil paint, making them easily identifiable even in the dark!
He didn't talk nonsense to the Shi family at all, and immediately struck out with a flying sword.
"ah!"
Shi Hu was shocked when he saw this and quickly raised his knife to block.
However, Zhu Chongba and others had already prepared to cooperate. As soon as Shi Hu slashed Zhu Chongba in the crotch, Tang He immediately shot out a spear like a dragon and stabbed Shi Hu in the throat.
"Ho!"
Shi Hu fell to the ground in pain, making a sound like a broken bellows.
The few strong men of the Shi family behind him were suddenly frightened and frightened, and they all shouted.
"Thieves!"
"There's a thief!"
"Someone come quickly!"
The Shi family compound, which was already in chaos, suddenly became a complete mess.
Brothers Shi Shilong and Shi Jilong didn't know that their third brother Shi Hu had been killed, so they thought it was some petty thief.
"Don't panic, just follow me to catch the thief!"
Brothers Shi Shilong and Shi Jilong just led people to the front yard in such a swagger.
Hoo ho ho!
Blah, blah, blah!
The soaring fire turned half the sky red, and from time to time there was the sound of houses collapsing.
With the dominance of Shuanglian in Haozhou, the Shi family has been completely reduced to ashes with a fire.
"Qiwu, let's go!"
Zhu Chongba said in a low voice.
Zhu Qiwu turned around and took a look. Their dozens of carriages, loaded with the Shi family's food and gold, silver and jewelry, had already gone away.
"Great, brother!" Zhu Qiwu responded.
It can be said that everything went smoothly during the raid on the Shi family.
Zhu Chongba and his men first killed Shi Hu.
Then they encountered the unsuspecting Shi Shilong, Shi Jilong brothers, armored Zhu Chongba and others who charged forward and immediately overturned the people who had killed Shi Shilong brothers.
Armored vs. unarmored, it's basically a massacre.
In just a short moment, all the members of the Shi family were wiped out.
Then...Zhu Qiwu led people to clean up and finish, and no one from the Shi family escaped.
The Shi family's wealth is indeed very large, several percent more than that of the Diao family.
Fortunately, Zhu Chongba and the others had prepared dozens of carriages in advance.
The Shi family's gold, silver and jewelry were moved overnight, and most of the food was also moved away.
The remaining half of the food was deliberately left behind.
"When the fire broke out, the people of Shuanglian Town were about to plunder the Shi family. If they get half of the food, they will definitely be grateful to us 'Forty Thieves'!"
Zhu Qiwu turned his horse's head and looked back at the front door of the Shi's house against the backdrop of the blazing fire.
On the door of Shi's house, three bloody heads hang, which are the three evil-doing brothers Shi Shilong, Shi Jilong and Shi Hu.
On the white plaster wall next to it, there are eight big blood-red characters written on it.
'The forty thieves are doing justice for heaven!'
"Haha, you are still thoughtful. We eat meat and the people drink soup. Although it is murder and arson, the more we kill, the better our reputation will be!"
Zhu Chongba laughed loudly, and then he took Zhu Qiwu and rode away to Longxing Temple.
After traveling more than thirty miles at night, it took more than an hour to return.
They had already established a hiding place in the mountains behind Longxing Temple, so they were not worried about disturbing the surrounding people and refugees.
After taking stock, Zhu Chongba led everyone to start unloading the truck.
Carloads of gold, silver, jewelry and food were quickly hidden in hidden warehouses.
As soon as everyone took a breath, Zhu Chongba started to feel worried.
"Why hasn't Guo Toad come back yet?"
Before leaving, Guo Toad and Tang He went to help his third aunt and his family leave Shuanglian Town.
To prevent the news from leaking out in the future, the traces of the 'Forty Thieves' can be traced to Daze Lake.
Just when Zhu Chongba was suspicious and was about to take Zhu Qiwu to check it out in person.
There was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Immediately afterwards, Guo Toad and Tang He walked closer.
Behind them were five men and women, none other than Guo Toad's third aunt's family.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
Zhu Chongba was happy for a while!
Immediately, people were ordered to place Guo Toad and her family in the inner courtyard of Longxing Temple for good health and "care".
When there were no outsiders left, Zhu Chongba said reproachfully.
"Why did it take so long?"
Guo Toad was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Chongba, when my uncle saw the fire in Shi's house, he sneaked in and took advantage of things. It took him a long time to wait for him to come back."
After hearing that this was the reason, Zhu Chongba's doubts and worries were relieved.
Zhu Qiwu followed up and asked, "How was the Shi Family Courtyard when you left?"
When Tang He and Guo Toad heard this, they immediately became energetic.
"Qi Wu, you don't know. When the people nearby saw that the Shi family was in trouble, they all rushed in without even leaving a nail behind. They all moved back home." Tang He said with a grin.
