"General Mo, you don't have to hide, stand up." Coming to the captured ministers, the lark smiled and casually pointed at Maude, who was bowing his head towards the crowd.

was called out, and immediately two cold fronts took action, grabbed him, and pressed him in front of the lark.

"What are you doing? I surrender, I surrender, in the future I am willing to be a loyal and courageous man, willing to be a dog of mercenaries, please don't kill me. "The weakness of human nature has finally been exposed. Originally, he dared to shout two sentences rampantly in front of the national teacher, but the moment he saw the mercenary, he was completely cowardly.

This kind of person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, the lark will naturally not put it in his eyes, as for the other party who said that he wants to be a loyal and courageous dog, he is very embarrassed, such a person is not qualified. "Okay, you don't have to shout and scream, whether you can survive depends on how much you are willing to pay. We have also investigated your family background, so let's take out 400,000 taels of silver in three days, and you will live, otherwise you will die. ”

The questionnaire showed that Maude's private property was about 350,000 taels, and the 50,000 taels specially added meant a lark. What kind of potential some people have, how can you know if you don't squeeze it?

"What? 400,000 taels? I didn't. When she heard the number, Maude shook her head vigorously. No one knows better how much money he has. 400,000 taels is definitely not that much. ”

"None? Could it be that our intelligence is wrong? The lark said in a surprised voice. And if you know his subordinates, you must know that this is the team leader preparing to trap people.

Where did Maude know this, he just wanted to have a little less blood, so he said very cooperatively, "Yes, yes, it must be your intelligence that is wrong, I can only take out 10,000 taels of silver at most, this is already my family." ”

shouted Dou E's appearance of shouting injustice, and people who didn't know really thought that Mo De only had this money, and he was a big clean official.

"Bang!" A kick fell and kicked Maud's body. "We were wrong, how could we be wrong, it's clear that you don't have the money to come out, okay, even if you don't even want your life for the money, then the team leader will fulfill you, come on, cut off one of his arms first, warn, if you still don't repent, limbs, no! After all five limbs were broken, he killed people, and then went to his house to raid his house. ”

The lark seems to be the first to laugh at people, but he is very ruthless in his bones, otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with a heavy task by the Security Bureau. It's too soft-hearted to do this kind of work.

When the words fell, Leng Feng on the side had already taken out a steel knife and fell towards Maude's left arm.

The knife rose and fell, accompanied by the sound of Maud's yelling. "Oops, it hurts me, it hurts me."

"Come, let me ask you, do you have 400,000 taels?" The lark ignored the other party's yelling, and continued to ask.

"No, at most 200,000 taels." Maud was still holding on. He believed that the other party was asking for money rather than life, so he gritted his teeth and insisted, wanting to leave him life money.

"Still dishonest. Chop off your left leg too. The lark didn't mean to talk nonsense, he had already made up his mind to kill the chicken and show the monkey, so that the other ministers could see what the fate would be if they didn't want to die.

"Huh!" The knife fell, the left leg was also cut off, and another scream sounded, and after Maude struggled twice in pain at this moment, he fainted directly.

"He's fainting."

"yes, maybe that's the best outcome."

The other Lancang ministers squatted on the ground and watched this scene, not forgetting to discuss it in private. Even in their eyes, it was far better for Maud to faint at this time than to be awake. After all, if you are sober, you will still suffer.

"Fainted? Hehe, do you think you can do it this way? Come, and pour cold water on him. Either take the money or give your life, you must choose one. The lark smiled and commanded casually.

A bucket of cold water poured down her head, and Maud woke up. When he looked at the lark, as if he saw a devil, he cried out repeatedly, "I have 400,000 taels, I can borrow it." ”

"Hey, that's right? Come and stop the bleeding for General Mo. Don't let him die until the money is in hand. The lark smiled, as if he was very satisfied, and then drew a hook under the pen in his hand, and then looked at the Lancang courtiers who were squatting on the ground and said very casually, "Come, next, Lord Qian Youliang, who is in charge of the treasury." ”

Thump. As soon as the voice fell, one of the people in the crowd fell to the ground in fright, who else would it be if it wasn't Qian Youliang.

But no matter what his reaction is, in the end, he can't escape the result of being brought to the lark for questioning.

If you want to ask what the result is, it is natural to take money to redeem your life. Otherwise, Maude's fate is just around the corner. They don't want to be slashed a few times and then bow their heads, they're just looking for guilt.

The national teacher Longqi saw this scene in his eyes, and cold sweat flowed down the back of his neck unconsciously. At this moment, he is very happy, glad that the lark is not looking for someone else but himself, and glad that he agrees to the other party's request very well, otherwise I am afraid that he will now have the result of having no one and no money.

Heart-to-heart talks, or rather interrogations, continued. After asking one person, two Leng Feng accompanied him away, and after three days, these people either took out the money or took their lives to pay the bill. Under pressure, who else will think about the transfer of power, and who will care about the life and death of the king, which also makes the next reception work very smooth.

That night, the three battalions captured the treasury, armory, and granary of the Lancang Kingdom. The next morning, when the gunfire in the city finally stopped, some of the brave people came out of their homes to find that everything was calm and no different from before. If there must be a difference, it is that on the street you can see the lively sound of swearing coming from the house of a certain official, and then you can see soldiers in army green uniforms patrolling the streets with people from the king's guard.

With the experience of Hanoi being defeated, it is not so complicated to deal with the problem of Vientiane City. First raid the house, then stabilize the situation, and then wait for the sixth young master to arrive with the intellectual youth of Chiji City, and completely occupy this place.

King Payasai was placed under house arrest, locked up in a small courtyard, and was given food and drink, and had completely lost his freedom. Originally, the king still had a glimmer of hope, and at dawn he wondered if there would be any loyal ministers to save him, but he waited until dark in the morning and did not see the slightest movement, and he knew that he was afraid that his king had been abandoned by his courtiers. How did he know that now all the ministers are raising money everywhere to buy their own lives, where is there time to care about other people's lives and deaths, even if he is the king and is left behind by them.

The occupied granary began to sell rice and noodles, and the people became very honest when they had some to eat, and the situation in the city was stabilized. Three days later, some ministers paid ransoms one after another, and they really used all the means to survive. Except for the house that has been clearly told by Leng Feng to confiscate, everything else can be sold, and some even sell their own concubines, just to make enough money to survive.

Fortunately, those who can become ministers often have the support of some people behind them. It was not too difficult to borrow money from them, so more than eighty percent of the officials handed over enough silver taels within the stipulated time, and there was no fear for their lives. Of course, there are also twenty percent of people who don't have so much money, so the lark will naturally not be polite, even if he says it, he must do it, otherwise how to deter others. At the moment, those people were cut off five limbs one after another and then hung on the city tower to show the public, this scene saw many ministers secretly dangerous, calling it lucky.

Three days later, the lark had fourteen million taels of silver in his hand. Most of this was provided by ministers, and a few were received from the Lancang treasury. It can also be seen from this point that any country still has some heritage, and a small Vientiane City can squeeze out more than 10 million taels, so what if it is the entire Lancang country? What if the target is changed to Daming?

It's like at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the treasury ran out of money, and the money was in the hands of ministers and merchant groups. The country had no money to raise soldiers, and was finally broken by Jiannu dogs, and then those ministers and businessmen didn't know how much gold and silver they took out to give Jiannu dogs in order to save their lives, which also made Emperor Chongzhen, who knew all this, couldn't help but shout before he died, "Officials can be killed." "Now that I think about it, there is some truth to it.

On the fifth day, the main force of the mercenaries finally came to Vientiane City. Accompanied by 50,000 young intellectuals who had been prepared long ago, they will use what they have learned to infect everyone around them, so that they can become a member of the Yang family system as soon as possible.

In the palace of the Lancang Kingdom, Yang Chendong summoned the head of Wusheng and the lark and others. After listening to their reports, he nodded with great satisfaction and praised them.

After waiting for the lark to report that he had obtained 14 million silver here, Yang Chendong laughed, "Look, under the war, wealth comes so quickly." Hehe, that's the case, it's still three million taels short of Nalongqi, give it to him. The remaining 1 million taels will be used to reward the Lao mercenaries in Ha Guang, and 800,000 taels will be rewarded to the meritorious heroes in this war. 10,000,000 taels went into the national treasury for the infrastructure construction of Lao Province. ”

Yes, Yang Chendong has already thought about changing the Lancang Kingdom to Laos Province, and after Vietnam, the Yang family has one more province, and the area is not small.

Naturally, everyone answered in unison. But it can be clearly seen that Luo Po, the second head of the regiment, and Wu Sheng, the third head of the regiment, are a little absent-minded, and they seem to have something to say.

Yang Chen's east seat was high, so he naturally saw it more clearly, so he named and said: "Head Luo, head Wu, but you have something to say?" ”
