Hou Ruhai was surprised to find that these angry people also rushed into Xiao's house, holding the door panels to help the officers and soldiers resist the arrows. This caused blood to rush to his head, and his face was flushed, as if he was drunk.
After drinking, what is the will of the people? This is what the people want. When the people's anger has an outlet to vent, Doushaguan will be very easy to govern. It is very simple. As long as the people are allowed to vent their bad breath,
They will return to their cowardly nature, as has always been the case!
When the thieves came, they chose not to resist because of fear or luck. When their wealth was severely damaged, they would become an extremely brave group of people. The people of the Song Dynasty had such a temperament. Hou Ruhai did
How could a prefect’s staff who have been serving for many years not know the true nature of the people?
Seeing the common people who fell to the ground after being shot by arrows still shouting and charging forward, Hou Ruhai almost wanted to sing at the top of his lungs and shouted: "The courage of the brave men is commendable. After the war, I will be rewarded heavily!"
So the people who were still hesitating rushed into Xiao's house with a bang, leaving Liu Dutou alone to protect Hou Ruhai and standing outside the door. Hou Ruhai asked Liu Dutou worriedly: "What will these people do after they rush in?"
Let’s loot the Xiao family?”
Liu Dutou found a chair from the shop next to him, wiped the sleeves carefully and put it behind Hou Ruhai. Seeing Hou Ruhai sit down, he whispered: "Sir, let them rob. The more powerful they are, the better."
, How much money can the Xiao family have on the outside? According to the villain, there is a dark room in the back garden of the Xiao family, and that is where the money is kept. "
After hearing Liu Dutou's words, Hou Ruhai immediately regained his composure and nodded frequently to the people who came out of the Xiao family carrying various belongings. This is great. All the Xiao family's property was robbed by the people.
Okay, great. Who can say in the future that he did this to exterminate the Xiao family just to covet the Xiao family's property?
After waiting for a long time, Hou Ruhai had finished drinking a pot of tea, and then he saw the bulging bags in the arms of Yuhou, whom he had sent in. He came out and reported that all the traitors of the Xiao family had been wiped out. Sir, please take care of yourself.
Hou Ruhai glared at Yuhou fiercely, and entered Xiao's house accompanied by Liu Dutou. Master Xiao was lying in front of the flower hall, surrounded by seven or eight soldiers who had died in the battle. He closed his sword and tilted it.
He was struck on an ancient tree, and his body was almost chopped into several pieces. Only a white-haired head was intact. This was left behind by the brave soldiers in order to repay their merits.
Hou Ruhai nodded and stepped over Master Xiao's body and entered the back hall. All the female family members of the Xiao family were dead. They were all shot to death by arrows. It seemed that Master Xiao knew that they would not be spared today. In order that the family members would not be insulted, he went out of his way to
Got a killer.
There was nothing in the hall except dead bodies, and the jewelry on the bodies of the female relatives had also been plundered.
"Sir, there are a total of forty-one of the Xiao thieves here. No one is missing. The one hundred and thirty-three thieves were all killed by the people, but a lot of their family property was also taken away by the people."
Hou Ruhai looked at Yuhou with a mocking look and said: "I know exactly what is going on. What the common people are getting are crude benzene, how much is it worth? There is no need for you to use the common people as an argument, but this time I see
For the sake of your dedicated efforts to kill the thieves, I will not pursue the case. You have been a soldier for many years and you must not have accumulated much money. This time, even if you are on an oil mission, you will receive a pension for the soldiers who died in the battle.
You must pay for it yourself, and I will reward you with additional money. You are not allowed to reach out to the money. Anyone who reaches out will have their dirty claws cut off, remember?"
After hearing this, Marquis Yu was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him. Not only did he bow down, but the soldiers behind him also bowed down one after another. Such a benevolent and righteous man with a turban is really rare. With such a superior, even if he dies, it will not be a loss.
Hou Ruhai laughed and ordered Bingyong to guard the back garden. He and Liu Dutou came to the rockery. Hou Ruhai pointed at the rockery and said: "I don't know what these people are like. Some of them like to do things in the back garden."
Click on the rockery and see that there is no harmony between this rockery and the entire mansion. If there is any secret room, it should be here, right?"
Liu Du's head and eyes were straightened, and he repeatedly raised his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you have seen thousands of miles away. It is indeed here. The last time I gave you money, I saw old thief Xiao opening the treasure house, so I know something about it. Please open it now, Your Excellency."
Take a look."
Hou Ruhai saw that Liu Du's head was cute and stupid, so he took out his little cattail leaf fan and slapped him on the forehead and said: "You stupid man, you didn't hesitate to stand aside and watch when the treasure house was opened. Don't you think so?"
Do you know this is the way to die?"
"Old thief Xiao asked me to see it." Liu Dutou shouted at Chuang Tianqu.
Hou Ruhai was too lazy to talk to such a fool. He pointed at the cattail leaf fan and motioned Liu Dutou to open the secret room so that he could see what was inside.
Liu Dutou pushed a small rockery away with all his strength, and a secret passage appeared at the feet of the two of them. They walked to the iron door of the dark room. Liu Dutou took out the key he had taken from Master Xiao's body and opened the iron door.
Finally, he lit the oil lamp inside and invited Hou Ruhai to come down and watch.
There were six large boxes inside. After Hou Ruhai opened one of the boxes and took a look, he swallowed hard. They were all filled with twelve silver ingots. He took a sneak peek at Liu Du's head and noticed his cute back.
He turned around and looked at the sheathed dagger hanging behind the iron door in a daze. He nodded with satisfaction, quickly opened the remaining boxes and inspected them. He clapped his hands and said to Liu Du: "The six boxes you sent me."
Take back the hundred thousand dollars. I never accept bribes. I accept it temporarily to reassure you. Now you have proven that you are a rare warrior. Not only did you suffer heavy losses in Douchuan Pass, you can also lead the police to kill countless enemies.
, Your loyalty and bravery are commendable, just wait, a ninth-grade county magistrate cannot escape."
Liu Dutou was overjoyed. He bowed to him and kowtowed with his head. Hou Ruhai smiled even more happily. He pointed at the dagger hanging behind the door and said to him: "I see you like that dagger. I'll give it to you."
I'll give it to you. I won't see any bad soldiers. This thing is not good luck."
"In a humble position, you are just a knife-edge worker. There are so many things to pay attention to. How dare you not accept the rewards from adults?" Liu Du smiled and hugged the dagger, very happy.
This errand was the most ruthless and smoothest errand Hou Ruhai had ever done in his life. Not only did he win the reputation of Hou Qingtian in Dousha County, but he also helped his chief official, the magistrate, eliminate a catastrophe. He did not accept Dousha.
The people of the county and the gentry rewarded many people with a copper coin, and donated half a year's salary to help the people of Dousha County rebuild their homes. They confiscated property from the Xiao family with silver and copper coins, totaling 1,300 coins and 76 coins.
These stolen goods are to be escorted into the treasury, and no one is allowed to use any of them.
After staying in Dousha County for three days, Hou Qingtian, who was not ignorant of human accidents, led his army to leave Dousha County with six boxes of local products donated by the people, leaving only 500 soldiers to guard Dousha Pass.
