Chapter 154: The Great Fire Melts the City 3

The middle-aged man once again handed over his hands and said: "Fan is just a businessman. We use our capital to make profits. What's wrong with buying and selling? Is there a danger of destroying the family?"

Li Dingguo looked at the middle-aged man and said, "What is your name?"

The middle-aged man raised his chest and said, "I am Fan Xiaoyang." "Fan Xiaoshan's third brother."

Zhang Guofeng took out a small book and took a look at it and said: "Fan Xiaoyang, a doctor from the Hongwen Academy of the Qing Dynasty, is responsible for writing edicts for civil and military officials, and for offering sacrifices to the Confucian Temple and to civil and military officials. Sacrificial text.

Killable!"

Fan Xiaoyang was shocked when he heard this, and just as he was about to retreat, Li Dingguo's long knife was already placed on his neck, and Fan Xiaoyang's The head rolled off the neck.

"Killing him is equivalent to killing a slave, right?"

Li Dingguo grabbed Fan Xiaoyang's hair and threw the head into the prepared basket. The heads of these people will be handed down in the future. The one with nine sides is of great use.

Li Dingguo led people to Fan Xiaoshan's inner house. At this time, Qian Shaoshao had arrived at the door of Wang Dengku's house.

And Zhang Guozhu, Chang Guoyu and others also moved towards their respective goals according to the lists in their hands.

The killing unfolded in an orderly manner...

When Qian Shaoshao left Wang Dengku's house, his white clothes were stained with blood, and his handsome face was also stained with blood. , the guards behind him followed closely with heads in their hands.

The ten young men in Tsing Yi waiting at the door saw Qian Shaoshao leaving, so they walked into Wang Dengku's home and began to count the transferred belongings.

The massacre of the city is a systematic work, and what everyone in Lantian County is best at is integrating work processes. Therefore, after knowing that Yue Tuo's army is only three hundred miles away, their work is progressing quickly. .

Slaughtering, liquidating, counting heads, checking property, and also doing the work of transporting food.

It is impossible to transport all the 140,000 dans of grain in a short time. Therefore, they can only transport the most valuable types of grain. As for miscellaneous grains such as sorghum, they are divided among As long as they can transport the people around Zhangjiakou, they can take as much as they want. However, after getting the food, they have to leave Zhangjiakou far away.

The battlefield set by Yunshi is in Zhangjiakou!

The sun shines brightly on the earth, but the most cruel scene is being staged on the earth. Steel knives, hammers, firecrackers, bows and arrows, even hoes and wooden forks have all become tools of killing.

The steel knives curled, the hammers broke, the muskets were silent, the bows and arrows collapsed, and only the simplest hoes and wooden forks were still sharp.

As the killing progressed, the group of serfs, who were as timid as quails, became brutal... As a result, the massacre spread from the army to the people.

Massacre, robbery, rape and other evil things are sisters who go hand in hand. If the army is still restrained by military discipline, those murderous serfs seem to want to take away all the grievances they have suffered over the years.To vent it out.

As a result, Zhangjiakou completely collapsed.

Fan San sat on the city wall and witnessed the tragic events that happened in the city. He was a timid and easily satisfied person. After receiving another ingot of silver from Qian Shaoshao, he He honestly leads people all over the world to dig holes.

Until the people digging holes around him all participated in the massacre with red eyes, he came to the city wall alone and looked at the tragic scene that happened in front of him.

He suddenly felt that there was no such thing as taking advantage forever in this world. No matter how much advantage someone took before his eyes, he would have to pay it back one day.

In the past, he was envious of his master's wealthy life. He was envious that he could have countless women, he was envious that he could have fine clothes and fine food, he was envious that he could enjoy the best enjoyment in the world without having to work. .

Now, he no longer thinks so. There was a fire in Fan's mansion, which was quickly extinguished. At first, there were firecrackers in Fan's mansion, but then it was silent... Is it true that Yaque is silent?

Fan San knew that he was just too far away from Fan's mansion.

Fan San wiped off the blood on the silver coin, put it in his mouth and took a bite. Two teeth marks appeared on the silver coin.

This ingot of silver is better than the one that Qian Shaoshao gave him for the first time. He did not recognize the five characters "Baoding Prefectural Official Silver" engraved on the silver, but he knew that all silver with such calligraphy was generally It is the best official silver.

The reason why those people engraved those clear words on the silver was not to make a mark or to look good, but simply to get some silver foam from the official silver to make a fortune.

There was a cry in his ears. Fan San glanced in the direction of his wife outside the city, put the money in his arms, climbed down the city wall, picked up a hoe and started digging a hole.

Fan San was very satisfied with the money pressing against his chest, so he was very motivated to dig holes.

When Mr. Qian came back from the grain depot, he only saw Fan San digging a hole alone. Sitting on the edge of the street, he rolled a cigarette in bamboo paper and held it in his mouth, watching. Fan San digs holes in the street.

"Two more holes need to be dug at the corner of the street."

Qian Shaoshao exhaled a puff of thick smoke and said to Fan Sandao lightly.

Fan San agreed, dug a hole in twos and twos, and then came to the place designated by Mr. Qian to continue digging the hole diligently.

"Everyone else is going to make a fortune, why don't you go?"

Qian Shaoshao threw away the cigarette butt and asked Fan San with his back against the wall.

Fan San shook his head and said: "You gave me another ten taels of silver, which is enough for me."

Qian Shaoshao smiled and said: "Is ten taels of silver enough?"< /p>

Fan San touched the ten taels of silver in his arms and said, "I don't think this money is that easy to get."

Qian Shaoshao laughed, pointed at Fan San and said, "You He is a smart man. The army of slave builders is three hundred miles away. After we finish this task, we will run away.You'd better take your parents and run away.

Fan San raised his sweaty face and said, "When will you come back?" "

Qian Shaoshao said: "It's best not to come back. This place will be a battlefield for a long time. "

Fan San said: "I will follow you, young master.

Qian Shaoshao smiled silently and said: "You are a truly smart man. Keep digging holes. After the things inside are over, come with me. I really need you like this." A wise man follows you. ”

A team of mule carts drove over from the direction of the grain depot. Each mule cart was filled with heavy grains. After leaving the north gate, they entered the vast wilderness.

Surrounded outside Zhangjiakou. The crowd had dispersed under the leadership of Zhang Guozhu. They were very satisfied with what they wanted.

Li Dingguo's cavalry also left, leaving very simply. Their only purpose in coming to Zhangjiakou. They just saw the food stored here being destroyed or taken away by the people.

Now, they can fight freely, harass Yue Tuo's army according to their own fighting methods, and take the opportunity to rescue the plundered people.

Qian Shaoshao stayed and continued to deal with the follow-up matters in Zhangjiakou.

The number of serfs led by Fan San was even larger. After they vented their emotions wantonly in Zhangjiakou, they continued to deal with the matter. He returned to his usual dull appearance.

He worked very hard to dig holes under the supervision of a dozen knights.

Qian Duoduo was very puzzled by this scene. It was these people. In the daytime, they were extremely ferocious, as if they dared to poke a hole in the sky.

However, these hundreds of people did not dare to resist a mere seventeen cavalrymen, even though these cavalrymen did not treat them well. , and also drove them to do hard work. If they were lazy during the work, they would be whipped, but they endured it silently without any intention of resisting.

Fan San held a piece of white flour pancake in both hands. The food was delicious. Seeing that Mr. Qian seemed confused about the scene in front of him, he casually said: "They are actually used to being enslaved and have never thought of resisting. What they did in the city today was something they would only do in their dreams." .

Now, they are extremely scared. As long as someone is willing to continue to let them work, they have found their backbone.

Master, if you are willing to have these people, I guarantee that no matter how you squeeze them now, master, they will definitely not resist and will be more honest than before. I just hope you will not abandon them. "

Qian Shaoshao smiled and said: "How do you know? "

Fan San pointed at his big face and said: "That's what I think! "

Qian Shaoshao recalled the scene when he dealt with Battle, nodded and said: "What you said really makes sense.

However, I hope you canCome out and live differently from others. "

Fan San smiled and said: "We need masters, especially in Zhangjiakou. The government has ignored us for a long time. For us, the big merchants in Zhangjiakou are our heaven.

Now, the sky is gone, and you have become our sky again. ”

Qian Shaoshao said: “I don’t believe there isn’t a dissatisfied person among you?”

Fan San took a bite of the white flour pancake and said, "There used to be quite a few of them. There was a guy named Han Bazi who was very good. He was righteous and willing to speak for everyone."

He is a blacksmith with a lot of strength. When he swings a sledgehammer, seven or eight people can't get close to him. If anyone is in trouble, they will come to him to calm things down.

In the winter of the year before last, for some reason, I had a conflict with the owner. The owner tied four cows with ropes and tore them into four pieces. Their intestines and stomachs were all over the floor. The scene was... There was still white gas coming out of the cooked meat, so it was all fed to the dogs.

All the people who had been favored by others watched like this, watching him being torn to pieces by cows, watching his wife being sold, and watching his son being put in a cage and raised as a dog.

Afterwards, everyone said that Han Bazi was a fool. He had offended his master for nothing and was looking for death. He could not blame his master for being cruel!

From then on, no matter what the master said or did, everyone listened and accepted it.

Master, can we burn this city down? "

Qian Shaoshao's eyes widened when he heard Fan San asking him, so he nodded and said: "We are digging holes to burn down this city. ”

Fan San took another bite of the white flour pancake and said: “It’s well cooked, it’s cooked well, it’s best to bake it cleanly, otherwise we’ll lose our ancestors...”
