The horse's face died, and after receiving more than sixty whips soaked in water, his whole body was whipped to shreds, and he finally couldn't stand it, and swallowed his last breath.

Perhaps after his death, the souls who died in vain along the way will "welcome" his arrival.

After Ma Yan died, Song Ye and the others collected the package he was carrying with him and took it to Yang Feng.

"Master Hou, this is that guy's package."

"Open it and take a look."

"Whoa!"

After Song Ye opened the package, he found that in addition to the clothes and a few flatbreads, there were more than three hundred taels of silver, but in addition to a few silver ingots, most of these silver were scattered broken silver and some copper plates.

Yang Feng's face was very ugly, more than 300 taels of silver in that place in Shanxi, enough to build a three-room tiled house, and buy 20 acres of thin fields and a ploughing ox.

Of course, it is impossible for a messenger of a yamen in the horse face to carry such a "huge sum" of money on a business trip, so he knows that this silver must have come from extorting those migrating people along the way.

And just a horse face extorted so much silver, so what about the remaining twenty or so errands?

Yang Feng's face was so cold that he could scrape off a layer of ice, and he pointed to the face of the horse, which was still tied to the tree, and said slowly to the remaining servants: "Ben Hou now gives you two a choice, either hand over all the silver on your body, or just end up like him!" ”

"What...... Give all the money? ”

At first hearing this, the officers present were like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky, and the whole person was stupid.

There is an old saying in Huaxia that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money.

This is true of those who are serious scholars, let alone these servants.

In feudal times, servant was a very special group.

Scholars can become officials by studying the Four Books and the Five Classics diligently and mastering the scriptures, while the group of servants is different.

Their position on the surface is very lowly, and this errand can be passed down from generation to generation.

Don't look at their humble status, but the power in their hands is not small, and because their official positions basically have no room for rise, making money has become their only motivation for errands.

Don't look at the face of the horse who was killed just now, shouting how unlucky he was, but in fact, after this trip, everyone who accompanied the messengers who escorted these migrants was constantly looting silver.

Although these people are bitter haha and don't have much oil and water, they can't stand the crowd.

This time, they escorted more than 20,000 people to Fujian, and along the way, they kept looting in a clever name, and the silver on the people's bodies basically fell into their pockets, which shows their means, and now Yang Feng asked them to hand over all the silver, which is not to kill them.

At this time, a middle-aged servant in his forties walked out, knelt down in front of Yang Feng with a puff and kowtowed: "Master Hou, all the way is the sin of the boss of the Ma family, it has nothing to do with us, the villains are a group of bitter haha, how can there be silver?" ”

"Bitter haha?"

Yang Feng looked at the middle-aged errand officer who looked like the leader, pointed to the group of errand soldiers next to him and asked, "You are their head?" ”

The middle-aged messenger said: "So that the Hou Ye can learn that the villain's surname is Yang, and thanks to the love of the Futai Lord and the brothers, the villain has become the head of the Yamen Zhuang class of the Datong Prefect of Shanxi." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Feng said with some surprise.

"So, you and I were still a family five hundred years ago? Shouldn't I call you Yang Bantou? ”

Yang Bantou shook his head again and again with some trepidation: "Don't dare, don't dare...... How can the villain have the blessing to be a family with your old man? ”

Looking at Yang Bantou with a panicked face, Yang Feng did not mean to underestimate the other party in his heart.

Don't look at him with a servile face in front of him, but the identity of this strong squad leader is not ordinary.

In the feudal era, the official yamen had the commonly known three-class yamen, which referred to the soap, strong, and fast three-class yamen.

Generally speaking, the soap shift is on duty, the fast squad is arrested, and the strong squad is poor.

In layman's terms, this Yang Bantou is equivalent to a person who gathers the three powerful departments of a prefecture-level city, the director of the armed forces, and the director of the tax bureau.

Therefore, don't look at Yang Bantou as an unpopular official, but the power in his hands is very large.

And this Yang Bantou actually said that the exploitation along the way was only done by the horse-faced errand who was killed, Yang Feng felt hehe, this is fooling me as a fool.

I saw him with a straight face, and said coldly: "Come on, take down all these errands for me, and search them by the way, Ben Hou really wants to know, Yang Bantou, whether what you said is true or false." ”

"Whoa!"

I only heard Song Ye and hundreds of family members behind him respond in unison, and they all dismounted and pounced on these errand soldiers.

Seeing hundreds of wolf-like family members rushing towards them, Yang Ban's first group of people were so frightened that their souls were scattered.

Don't look at their usual appearance, but it depends on who they are.

The person in front of him is the governor of Zhengnan, the marquis of Jiangning and the general soldier of Nanjing, and it is not much more difficult to move them without having to crush a few ants.

Looking at the two indifferent-looking and fierce family members who were approaching him, Yang Bantou shouted anxiously: "Master Hou, you can't be like this, the villain was ordered by Lord Futai to send you the migrants, you can't do this to us!" I...... Eh......"

As he spoke, Yang Bantou had been grabbed by the arms of the two family members and pressed to the ground, and the two of them first snatched the package behind him, and then groped around him, and soon found a lot of things.

The same was true for the others, a group of servants who were pressed to the ground by the householders, many of whom were screaming in distress as they struggled.

But then, under the suppression of these wolf-like family members, these people were all crushed to the ground.

The surrounding people looked at the embarrassed appearance of the errand officers who showed off their might in front of them on weekdays, and their hearts were simply indescribably happy, although they were still afraid of the obscenity of these errand servants and did not dare to applaud loudly, but many people were already shouting and scolding in a low voice.

Soon, all of the officers were searched.

The silver found from them ranged from more than one hundred taels to two or three hundred taels, and that Yang Bantou was the largest, with as much as seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and the total of these silvers was more than ten thousand taels.

Looking at the piles of various silver ingots, broken silver, and many copper plates in front of him, Yang Feng sneered: "Yang Bantou, you don't want to tell me that you brought all this silver out of your home, right?" ”

This time, Yang Bantou couldn't say anything quibble, and hung his head silently.

Looking at these dejected servants, Yang Feng sighed lightly and shook his head and said, "That's it...... Come, gather all these two pieces of silver, and give each of them two taels of silver, and send them back. ”

After that, Yang Feng got on the horse and went back with some interest.
