Chapter 66: Sitting on the Ground to Divide the Booty
Because many of his subordinates died, when Yun Zheng paid tribute to Zhang Fangping, his face was still gloomy, and he looked a bit unruly. It was strange that the more Yun Zheng looked like this, the bigger Zhang Fangping's grin became.
I like to see Yun Zheng suffer misfortune under his own design. The worse Yun Zheng's mood becomes, the better Zhang Fangping's mood becomes.
"Hey, boy, did you try to enter the hole?" Zhang Fangping asked, looking at Yun Zheng who was covered in black ash and with a strand of hair burnt. Without Yun Zheng's need to answer, Zhang Fangping pointed at Yun Zheng's battered men.
The soldiers laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, do you think I don't know how long fifty kilos of kerosene can burn? Do you want to get in first and get some benefits before I arrive? Hahaha, you can't easily get my advantage, boy, you
Listen to me, your thirteen hundred dollars, I have verified from the Dushui Division that they are indeed real, so for the sake of your bloody battle, those money are yours, there is nothing to say about it, as for others
I will distribute the rewards according to military merit, hahahaha..."
Zhang Fangping was in a very good mood, being able to play with a smart and cunning junior, which made Zhang Fangping full of superiority in terms of IQ. He was even a little obsessed with this feeling and decided to do it again next time.
Yun Zheng saluted Zhang Fangping in disgrace and said: "Commander, the brothers have really tried their best, and even for their humble position, they have tried their best. I originally thought of getting some copper coins for my subordinates to spend, but who knew that after the fierce oil met the water, it would turn out to be
It will burn more violently..."
"Hahaha." Zhang Fangping laughed again, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Zhong E: "Zizheng, look, only this bastard dares to say that he has corruption in front of me.
Only this little bastard dares to ask for reward from me even if his corruption is not successful! Hahaha, I am laughing so hard."
Seeing Yun Zheng standing there with a dark face and rubbing his hands in embarrassment, Zhong E couldn't help but burst out laughing. He pointed to the Luming Cave where the flames had extinguished and said to Zhang Fangping: "Mr. Zhang, your treasure house has been opened.
Now it’s time to unveil the bet.”
"You can't go in now. There will be poisonous fumes from the burning oil..." Yun Zheng warned in a low voice.
Zhang Fangping laughed even harder when he looked at the seven or eight soldiers who were coughing crazily under the pine tree. Needless to say, Yun Zheng ordered the soldiers to forcefully enter when the fire became smaller. The result was very bad. Those soldiers were trapped in the cave.
The thick smoke smoked out like a smoked rat, and it hasn't calmed down yet.
Finally he stopped smiling and said to Zhong E: "Zizheng, look at this smart kid, does he look like a little monkey trying to get chestnuts out of the fire? On one side, the fire is burning his hands, and on the other side, he can't help but salivate, hahaha,
Since I have already paid a bloody lesson, I’d better wait a little longer..."
Yun Zheng felt that he had nothing to say to Zhang Fangping, so he walked angrily to his group of soldiers, took out the meat pie from his arms and chewed it every bite. His mood was low, and the mood of his subordinates was even lower. A large group of people
He leaned against the mountain and kept up without saying a word.
In sharp contrast to their unlucky situation, Zhang Fangping brought the chief secretary, secretaries, officials, and government servants, all of whom were well-dressed, and surrounded Zhang Fangping, saying congratulatory words, and they were all in high spirits.
Luming Cave itself faced the wind outlet. The strong wind poured into the Luming Cave without a door and blew away the thick smoke inside in a short time. A group of government officials rushed in under Zhang Fangping's order. After entering the cave, several bookkeepers and accountants also walked in. Yun Zheng and the soldiers stretched their necks and looked at the cave, looking very remorseful. Some of them even beat themselves hard. head. This made Zhang Fangping feel a little better.
The first thing the officials cleaned up was the corpse of the thief. The headman took a stack of drawings and compared them one by one. Whenever he found a wanted gangster, he happily put the drawings on the ears of the dead body with wires. , as the corpses were constantly being carried out, the whole square was filled with the smell of barbecue, and coupled with the stench of burning fire oil, it was almost impossible to stand in the square.
Zhang Fangping's face was shining red with excitement. He had been in battle for a long time and was no stranger to this smell, so the two of them continued to patrol the pile of dead bodies.
"Three hundred and thirty-one corpses of thieves, sixteen corpses of women, plus some corpses that have been burned to charcoal. I thought that all the bandits in Zhao Gongshan are here."
Zhang Fangping rubbed his stuffy temples, looked at the dead women and said, "It doesn't matter if they are dead, they are not necessarily happier alive than dead."
Zhong'e nodded and said: "The terrain of Luming Cave is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we send troops into the cave, the outcome may be unpredictable."
Zhang Fangping shook his head and said to Zhong'e: "Zizheng, don't try to flatter me. It's hard to predict the outcome. Look at that kid. Can he beat me without using tricks? Several bandit leaders rushed out. , just let his men die all over the place. If there is a melee, there may not be a few of the thousand men left."
When Yun Zheng saw the corpses of those women, his eyes were a little dodgey. No matter how many reasons he had for doing so, he could not face the corpses of those women calmly.
He doesn't care about Liu Ningjing, and he doesn't care about the killer woman, but when faced with these unknown women, he doesn't know how to face them.
It's ironic to say that Yun Zheng seems to be able to find an excuse to kill a man no matter whether he has a reason to die or not. Many times, Yun Zheng believes that men are actually heads of hyenas who need to fight and plunder on the grassland. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, it is your own destiny, and you cannot blame others.
The division of labor between men and women has been destined to carry more burdens since men began to replace women in collecting food. Since God gave him thick and powerful limbs and well-developed muscles, he was asked to meet some accidents and challenges.
Ever since the woman's body was taken out, Yun Zheng had been sitting on the ground with his head hanging between his legs, not wanting to see the evil he had done.
Zhang Fangping glanced at Yun Zheng with a half-smile, and was very satisfied with Yun Zheng's reaction. This is the mentality of young people, doing things regardless of the consequences, and only regretting it when the consequences appear. After being taught by Confucianism for so many years, If he doesn't even have this bit of compassion, it can only be said that he has gone astray.
The money was brought out, and the soldiers were excited to see it. They didn't have to pretend, anyone's eyes would turn green when they looked at the white money, not to mention that the soldiers subconsciously thought that the money should be theirs. Therefore, the eyes became more eager and frustrated. When I moved the money, I had too little time, and there was still a lot left to move. Now I am using the cheap defense.
Zhong E was also shocked. He had never expected that the money stored in a small village could be compared to the treasury of a prosperous state capital. Seeing this, he couldn't help but try to think back to the bandits in his own territory, and prepared to go back. Begin to exterminate.
Zhang Fangping sighed and said: "Zizheng, don't look at the amount of money. Just look at the official silver. Most of them are marked with the mark of the second year of Qingli. This was specially minted by Chengdu Prefecture for the birthday of the Empress Dowager in the second year of Qingli." The birth plan was kidnapped by strong men before they even left Chengdu Mansion. Did you know that all the five hundred soldiers who escorted the birth plan died unexpectedly? I have always suspected that the person who robbed the birth plan was Zhao Sanpao."
At this point, he said to Yun Zheng: "Do you think I hurried up to Zhaogong Mountain just to grab this little money from you? I am worried that you are young and ignorant and have taken the birthday card without permission. Once this thing appears on the market, No matter whose hands it is in, or for what reason you got it, you will inevitably die, and even I won’t be able to save you when the time comes."
When Yun Zheng heard what Zhang Fangping said, he hurried over, picked up a large ingot of snowflake silver and looked at the inscription on it. He found that it was clearly written with the words "Supervisor of the Birth Plan" written on it. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he kept it in mind and only He took away some of the scattered silver and didn't touch any of the official silver. The ungrateful Zhao Laosan wanted to trick him before he died. No wonder this guy made it clear about the money in the cave, just because he planned to let it go. He took the birthday card to spend money, and then he was executed by the Nine Tribes.
After confirming that this was indeed the birthday plan, Yun Zheng felt a little fond of Zhang Fangping for the first time. Although this guy was arbitrary, he was also protective of others. Thinking of this, he nervously bowed to Zhang Fangping to express his gratitude.
"At such a young age, my eyes have grown to the top of my head, and I don't even know how good I am to you..." Zhang Fangping accepted Yun Zheng's gratitude, muttered nonsense, and continued to check the harvest of the government officials with his hands behind his back.
These silvers can be used as new silvers as long as they are melted into the furnace, but it is not worth calculating carefully. There is no airtight wall in the world, especially when it comes to money. There is no harm in playing it safe.
Boxes of copper coins were carried out. Zhang Fangping looked at the Dushui Division seals on some boxes, opened them, took a look, and asked Yun Zheng to move away his thirteen hundred coins.
The soldiers of Jiazi Camp immediately became energetic. This is their own money! Even though everyone knew that the previous thirteen hundred coins had been distributed to everyone, it still did not prevent them from thinking that the money was theirs. Holding the money box, they were extremely happy, and some even cried twice.
Zhang Fangping opened a large box. The box was full of various jewelry and gold jewelery shells. Some of the jewelry had dried and black blood stains on it. Needless to say, these were stolen goods.
Zhang Fangping saw that Yun Zheng had no interest in these things, so he didn't say much. After checking the number of birthday cards, he said to Yun Zheng: "Except for the birthday cards, your Jiazi camp will take 30%!"
The accountant used a large scale to divide the money. The money given to the Yongxing Army was 800 coins per coin, but the money given to the Jiazi Camp was only 600 coins. All of this was done under Zhang Fangping's eyes. No one felt uncomfortable. It's okay, it's a common practice to use hands to peel off layers of money.
Only Zhong E, who was full of curiosity about Yun Zheng, noticed that there was a cold light flashing in his eyes. (To be continued)
