The old, weak, sick and disabled people in Lijia Village were on standby to provide logistics. Li Zicheng only picked thirty young people and a few donkey and mule carts to take them away.
Li Shoucang complained a few times that he couldn't follow him to rob his old wealth. He also boasted about the glorious years of his youth, and he felt quite lonely as a hero in old age.
Li Zicheng said helplessly: "You can just wait with peace of mind, but you have to keep an eye on these people. Who stole my mother-in-law last night? How ugly is this?"
…
The small group headed south, choosing secluded and uninhabited mountain paths.
We only traveled less than fifty miles before dark.
14th.
The team continued on their way for thirty miles and found a hidden ravine to hide before noon.
Two mountains to the west is Chenliangjian, where there is a wealthy man.
The clue was provided by Bai Wang.
That young man was a distant relative of Baijiuhe, and his hometown was originally in Qingpingbao.
When Bai Wang was young, his family had a villa near a river and pond, and Lin Quan was lovely. Later, a retired censor wanted to buy it as a villa, but Bai's father was unwilling.
A letter from the censor was sent to the Yamen. Bai's father was arrested for illegal activities and died in prison, thus destroying the family.
Bai Wang worked for the Yushi family for eight years, and when he was fifteen, he fled to Huaiyuan Fort to join the army.
Now the old censor is dead, and now the old wealth is his son.
Bai Wang originally wanted to follow him to fight against the local tyrants, but Li Zicheng was afraid that he would be recognized and his identity would be exposed easily, so he did not agree.
At midnight on the 15th, the moon and stars were scarce.
Minzhuang and the donkey cart were left where they were, and Tian Jianxiu took the former postman to guard them.
Li Zicheng and other eight people covered their faces with cloths and walked into the dark night with weapons in hand.
There is an isolated small courtyard three miles north of the wealthy village. A high wall surrounds a very large cave dwelling with a total of sixteen holes on the upper and lower floors.
The cave dwelling is full of grain.
There are ten servants and two dogs guarding the courtyard.
Everything is silent.
Everyone tiptoed outside the courtyard. Yuan Zongdi first made a half circle around the wall and threw in six poisonous meat packets.
After a while, he made a gesture, which meant that the dog was almost finished.
Liu Zongmin put up the ladder, and Li Zicheng was the first to climb up.
The courtyard was dark and silent.
Li Zicheng imitated several bird calls, but the watchdog didn't respond.
He slowly climbed down the wall, tiptoed to the door, fiddled with the lock, and opened the door gently. Several people filed in from outside.
Gao Yigong guards the gate.
Li Guo and Li Zijia stood in front of the gatehouse. There should be two night watchmen sleeping soundly inside.
Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Gu Kecheng, and Yuan Zongdi were guarding the windows of the two cave dwellings.
"Do it!"
"Crack!"
Three windows were smashed simultaneously, and six people climbed in.
"If you make a noise, your head will fall to the ground."
"There's a thief!"
There was still a guy shouting, and Liu Zongmin killed him with a knife.
The rest of the servants were trembling and did not dare to move.
The crowd tied up the servants, gagged them, threw them into a cave dwelling, and kept them under guard.
Li Zicheng went to the gate and looked around. The mansion and villagers in the distance were not disturbed.
The operation went fairly smoothly.
Liu Fangliang trotted back to report the letter to Tian Jianxiu, and then ran back again.
At this time, several lanterns and torches had been lit in the courtyard of the granary, and all the cave doors had been pried open.
Li Zicheng waved to everyone, "Let's go to the mansion to work."
As soon as the team of carriages and horses arrived, no matter how careful they were, they would inevitably startle the watchdogs in the village, and the barking sound soon became loud.
This is unavoidable, and it is impossible to poison all dogs.
Li Zicheng climbed over the wall again, and when he was bitten by the dog, he raised his sword to chop it down.
Ignoring the noise of people everywhere, he cut off the chain and opened the door.
The accomplices entered the courtyard and shouted in unison: "Surrender without killing!"
There were still some people who were unwilling to surrender, so the three night watchmen were taken down one after another.
Liu Zongmin led several people to search everywhere, while Li Zicheng rushed straight to the inner courtyard carrying a ladder.
When I ran to the door, I saw a flash of fire in front of me.
There was a loud "dong" sound, and the three-eyed gun fired.
"Surrender without killing!"
Li Zicheng endured the pain and continued to preach the policy.
The head of the nursing home didn't appreciate it, so he raised a three-eyed bludgeon and hit it on the head.
That's not right.
Li Zicheng grabbed the ladder and pushed him against the wall, then stabbed him in the chest with his sword.
The inner courtyard was already in chaos.
Li Zicheng jumped in from the wall. Just as a disheveled woman was about to throw herself into the well, he kicked her over and dragged her back to the back room.
The people living in the inner courtyard were all family members, so they encountered little resistance.
The big house quickly settled down.
A total of four people and three dogs were killed in this battle.
Fifty or sixty people, men, women, old and young, were all driven to the front yard.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, our village leader will not kill good people. Please stay safe!"
Liu Zongmin's words had limited effect, especially the female relatives who all looked pale and burst into tears.
Rich Man Gu took two steps on his knees and said tremblingly: "Hero, don't kill me. You can take the gold and silver as you please."
"You are so generous."
Li Zicheng sneered, took out a piece of paper and began to list the rich man's crimes.
In a certain month and year, they seized the property of good people, in a certain month and year they robbed women, and in a certain month and year they killed slaves with sticks...
When Mr. Gu heard half of it, his eyes darkened and he collapsed to the ground.
"Put him up, I haven't finished reading yet."
"%@#......"
Lao Cai knew he had no way out and began to curse.
Li Zicheng was unmoved and continued to perform the procedures, "...the evidence for the above thirteen crimes is conclusive, and the case is judged fairly in this village. Gu Boxen is now sentenced to death and executed on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zongmin immediately pierced Lao Cai's heart with a dagger. Because he was inexperienced, he was stuck in the ribs for the first time and stabbed him again before he was done.
The family members cried hoarsely.
Li Zicheng shouted: "Don't make any noise! Liu Sanhuai comes out."
Housekeeper Liu was trembling, and he took a few steps and knelt down to the end, "Master, spare my life! The master forced me to do this, and I am wronged!"
Gu Kecheng stepped forward and kicked him, "Take stock of our wealth and spare your life."
Butler Liu hurriedly got up and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace."
…
It's so cool to beat the local tyrants.
Think about it, if you farm by yourself, you have to persist for one year to harvest food. And there can't be any natural or man-made disasters in the middle, otherwise it will be over if an accident occurs. The error tolerance rate is extremely low.
It's too easy to grab.
The food and goods that others have worked hard to save for several years will be yours in one fell swoop.
Cool!
In total, the Gu family's mansion counted three sacks of gold and silver jewelry, treasures and medicinal materials, two carts of new and old clothes and furs, hundreds of cattle, donkeys, mules and sheep, and more than 50,000 taels of silver.
Li Zijia also wanted to pack away the chickens, geese and dead dogs, but was kicked by Li Zicheng.
Tian Jianxiu is also busy over there.
The only accident was that Minzhuang secretly picked up a meat bun and ate it, but the plan was not perfect and he forgot to collect the poisonous bun.
A total of 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of rice and wheat were packed. As for coarse grains such as millet and sorghum, they could only be put on the sidelines because they simply could not be loaded.
Mr. Gu's wealth is much more than that. He has five to sixty thousand taels of silver stored in just one house in the city, but that can't be easily obtained.
After the seizure was put away, Tian Jianxiu escorted the brigade and left at night.
The village was silent, and the occasional barking of dogs was quickly stopped. When bandits enter the village, who dares to come out without opening their eyes?
Li Zicheng distributed 20 taels of silver to each of the Gu family's servants; he also threw 20 taels of silver into the villagers' yards, and placed a hundred jins of grain at the door, so everyone benefited. He also left a hundred taels of pension for the dead servants.
While waiting, Liu Zongmin and other heroes stood in line, and Li Zicheng began to search for clothes.
Very good! No one hid their belongings secretly, and it has withstood the test.
At dawn, Li Zicheng retreated with a few people behind him.
As for whether the villagers will take the opportunity to rob the big family, that's out of their control.
Two days later, the team returned to the abandoned pier.
Li Shoucang jumped up, threw down the grain cart and laughed loudly.
"Huang Laiwa, I've known since you were a child that you are a talented person. When you were born, there were colorful auspicious clouds in the sky..."
The rainbow fart blows violently.
The poor stand on the crossroads and play with nine steel hooks, but they cannot hook their relatives and flesh and blood; the rich play with swords, guns and sticks in the mountains and old forests, but they cannot disperse the unjust guests and friends.
If you have money, you will be considered a relative. If you have no money, you will be considered worse than a passerby.
This trip was very fruitful, and naturally the next step was the spoils-sharing conference that everyone loved to see.
The strong men in the front post, Hulu Mountain, Huaiyuan Fort and Shuangquan each received fifty taels of silver and three hundred catties of grain. In addition, they were given some cattle, donkeys and sheep to distribute among themselves when they went back.
The young and middle-aged people participating in the transportation in Lijiacun received the same treatment, while the rest, the old and the weak, only received three taels of silver and one hundred kilograms of grain, divided equally among ten sheep, as sealing fees.
The young man who ate the poisonous buns was a distant relative of Li Zicheng, an unlucky guy with generous pensions.
This transaction was a near miss, and everyone was so happy that they couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
Where can they find such an easy and high-paying job?
All the minions expressed that they would join the gang next time.
Li Zicheng gave his last lecture: "When you go back, be careful with your money and food, keep your nose to yourselves, and keep your mouth shut. If anyone dares to show off, I will send someone to beat your head to pieces overnight!"
"Let's all disperse!" This chapter has been completed!
