Chapter 172 Night talk on and off the city wall

The Zheng family should not have so little family background, the Zheng family should not have so much family background, and the Zheng family should not have these.

The wealth hidden in the well has exceeded the wealth that the country tyrants can have, even though he has been passed down for generations in convenient transportation.

After seeing the bloody gold coins, Zhu Da could think of the reason. The Zheng family must have been a thief in a place far away from the Zheng family. Judging from the news about the surrounding areas that Yuan Biao told me, the Zheng family should have stopped in the past twenty years. It was probably a big deal in the past. There were only a few gold coins not regulated by the Ming Dynasty, either from the Western Regions, from the grasslands, or from the Ming Dynasty.

No matter which caravan is, the size of it will not be less than a few hundred people. These hundreds of lives may have been killed completely. As for the silver ingots of twenty taels per piece, it may be the income from robbing other caravans.

In the Ming Dynasty, only in the borders and coastal areas can we get so much gold and silver, because large-scale business transactions require a large amount of precious metals as currency, and it is impossible to do other places. Even if many counties are reduced to the bottom, there may not be so many.

In addition to the wealthy cellar, there is another possibility that the gold and silver in the well will be hidden. With the size of the Zheng family, too much wealth will be suspected. They store it in order to see the light of day in the future.

The income from this business, combined with the seizure of stolen goods and the income from the treasure digging, totaling more than 4,300 taels of silver and more than 1,100 taels of gold. There was a layer of silver ingots at the bottom of the box, which made the amount of gold not as large as expected.

After counting the numbers roughly, even Zhou Qingyun, who had always been calm, breathing became rapid, and Li He was even more unable to breathe. This was a large amount of more than 10,000 taels of silver. In this era, it was an amazing wealth in any sense.

With this great fortune, as long as you don’t do anything wrong, three people can live a wealthy life in this life. Many people may not be able to achieve such gains even if they are smart and outstanding, but these are in front of them.

"If you don't take revenge, this money will be enough." Li He said inexplicably, not knowing whether this is for Zhu Da or for himself.

"If you want to divide it, you can take a portion at any time." Zhu Da said in a muffled voice. Li He shook his head quickly. All his attention was on gold and silver just now, and he would only react when the time came.

Zhu Da's words had no sarcastic meaning, and his tone was very plain, as if he had said something insignificant. Li He could hear it. If he wanted to get it, he would definitely get it. However, Li He also knew that he had less than one-third of the score, and he might have gotten enough.

But this thought was wiped out by Li and himself. He shook his head and said with a dry smile: "What's the difference? This gold and silver belong to our brothers. We should keep it for revenge and do great things."

At this time, Li He found that after Zhu Da finished counting, he didn't look at any gold and silver, but he didn't know what to reflect in the light. When he got closer, he found that Zhu Da was holding a small piece of felt in his hand and tossed and turned around, and even pulled a trace and put it on the fire.

"Brother, this felt has a fishy smell. There is a clean quilt in the store, so you don't have to sleep on it." Li He felt that he had lost his composure just now and said without saying anything.

Zhu Da stared at the small piece of felt on his hand, looking very carefully, as if there were gold and silver threads inside, and said without raising his head, "Go to bed early."

Li He was nervous and always felt that he had said the wrong thing just now, but nothing could be seen from Zhu Da's words and expressions. Moreover, the two of them were not unfamiliar with him in the past. Zhu Da was focused and ignored him. Li He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he and Zhou Qingyun sorted out the gold and silver, locked the box, sealed the skin, and then went out.

After leaving the yard, two big car shops carried the forage by, chatting while walking, "I haven't listened to the city calls for a long time. I used to feel troublesome, but now I feel quite at ease when I hear it."

"It's not a serious person to shout, you're thinking too much."

These two guys were talking and laughing. Li He first felt that the death and chaos caused by the Tartar invasion were over, and the world became peaceful again. Later, he remembered what these two people said was that they heard the movement outside just now. It turned out that it was the city shouting to the top of the city.

Li He had also heard this allusion before. The city closed every day, but some things and news were passed to the city after the closing. The strong crew members who guarded the city made some profits from this. How much benefits would they charge for those who handed in and how much benefits would they charge for those who handed in the city, because except for them, others were not qualified to go to the city.

......

"The goods on the four big trucks are gone. I can't see clearly what is installed on the truck. They are covered with things. There must be valuable goods, and the marks on the road are very deep."

Someone under the city shouted loudly, and he had to not let the car shop hear it, and he had to come here to report the message in time. It was really tiring. Huairen County was not big, so it was almost half a circle around the city.

"Is there blood in the car?"

"It was clean and I couldn't see any blood. The guy in the store also glanced at it, but didn't see anyone hanging his head."

"How many people do they have in total?"

"Including the handlebars, there are twenty-four in total."

The man shouted loudly under the city, and the man on the top of the city listened very carefully. In the past, there were more than 20 people patrolling the city, and there were also watchers looking around every other period. At this time, there was no one there, and only a fat man leaned against the cliff and listened.

"Did you see Zhou Laoer?"

"I didn't see it, I saw three handlebars. I asked the small ones everywhere and asked the guys to see it. They were familiar with everyone."

After hearing this answer, the fat man took out a small cloth bag from his arms and threw it out. After a while, he heard someone in the city shouting, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang."

The fat man ignored the thanks under the city and quickly walked down the city. A strong squad was waiting at the corner of the steps. When he saw the fat man coming over, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face. "It's windy to the night, the second master went to sit in the room and drink some soju to warm up his body."

"The next day, you are busy, I have something to do." The fat man nodded and said, walking non-stop.

When the man named "Yang Erye" came out of the city, a strong man at the corner suddenly said that he had an urgent matter at home and wanted to go home to check it out. He asked his colleagues to take care of it.

Who had no other business when he was a job? Everyone agreed without saying a word. If there was a joke that was not good at practicing verbal behavior, would you go back to see the woman at home get angry? The officer laughed and scolded him a few times, ran down the city quickly, and looked at the direction he was going, but he was walking along the way with "Yang Erye".

When the man got out of the city, the other strong servants walked along the steps towards the city. One of them sneered and said, "You still ask your brothers to wait here. Don't you know what he shouts about? It's just a matter of sharing the stolen goods, and it's not doing it generously."

"I heard that all the people he used to call him were broken. I am afraid that I will not be able to eat alone in the future. I have to let my brothers share the benefits..."

"If you want to get beauty, you will be more generous. Yang Shouwen got married to Master Fang. With Master Fang's protection, Master Fang can't do anything to be respected. Do you still have to care about us?"

"What's the matter of getting married? It's just to give the girl to Mr. Fang as a child. After all, he is a deputy squad leader. Our Uncle Wang is the head of the squad leader. Yang Shouwen relies on Mr. Fang, and our Uncle Wang has children and Mr. Zhou. Who is worse than who?"

"You guys talk about these things for use. The little hill that went to report to Mr. Wang just now has flattered me. Let's be honest in patrolling the city!"

The fat man who was talked about by the strong crew members went down to the city and rushed to the vicinity of the county government, asking them to follow them as servants wearing soap clothes.

It was dark, and occasionally someone passed by on the road, or a night-time service updater, or a variety of people returning home late. When these people saw this fat man Yang Shouwen, they greeted him respectfully and smiled and avoided him. This was Yang Erye, the deputy head of the squad, and the big man in the city. It is said that there were several powerful bandits running for him outside the city, killing whoever he said he would kill.

Yang Shouwen ignored these polite greetings. It was already a little cold at night, but the fat man walked away so hard that his forehead was sweating. The two companions holding lanterns were about to trot. It was not possible to not use lanterns. There were only a few streets in Huairen County that were still quite bright at night. Most of the places were dark after night, and there were many debris on the road, so they would step on and trip.

I rushed to the area in front. Although it was not bright, there were lanterns hanging in front of the doors of several families, and the streets seemed much cleaner. After coming here, whether it was Yang Shouwen or his companion, they were careful in their movements. The people living here were decent people in the city, either they could not afford to offend or they could not offend.

When passing by a house, Yang Shouwen turned his head and looked at it a few times. The house was not bad, but there were no lanterns hanging in front of the door. This was the family moved from Zheng Jiaji. Now there is only a little girl and servant. He is really bold.

Yang Shouwen spitted hard, but kept walking forward a while, turning the corner, but it occupied a wider area and looked more grand. Not only were there big lanterns hanging in front of the door, but two officers were sitting in front of the door.

"I'll inform you, Yang Shouwen has something to do to see Mr. Fang." Yang Shouwen went to the door and greeted him with a smile.

"The second master is here, the eldest master has given instructions. Just take it in directly when you come. Second master and the younger one." The officer guarding the gate also smiled and stood up to greet him, and walked inward with Yang Shouwen. The two lantern-carrying companions should have stopped outside tactfully.
