Li Zixiao stood in the courtyard while watching his subordinates carry these huge wealth, while secretly thinking about the messy problems.

At this time, Liu Chong came over, and as soon as he saw Li Zixiao, he asked Li Zixiao: "Big boss, this time we broke through Zhouzhuang and rescued dozens of people from the Zhou family's private prison, I don't know how to deal with it?"

In addition, there are some Zhuang Ding who have not helped the Zhou family to resist us desperately, and some young people from Liucun want to join us, do you want to accept them? ”

Li Zixiao was interrupted by Liu Zhong and returned to reality, and then remembered that there were still these things that had not been arranged.

So he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Since the Zhou family Zhuang Ding who can be left by us is not the hardcore of the Zhou family."

If they are willing to stay, they will accept it, these people are all men who have seen blood and have some martial arts in their hands, don't be a pity, those who don't want to stay, don't embarrass them, just let them go.

If you want to follow us, you must also screen clearly, don't have bad habits, only those who have the ability to stay, those young people in Liucun who are willing to join our White Dragon Army will also accept it, we are not afraid that we will not be able to feed so many people now.

But everyone, regardless of what they used to do, was trained in the boot camp before they could be added to the squad!

As for the people released in the private prison, it is estimated that they are all people who have enmity with the Zhou family, and if you ask about them, as long as they are not traitors, they will be given some money and food, and they will be dismissed.

You can do this kind of thing well, just make your own ideas. I believe you. ”

Li Zixiao's last sentence moved Liu Chong's head, nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and began to arrange according to Li Zixiao's instructions.

"Big boss, my eldest brother sent someone over to ask for instructions, how to deal with the more than 30 brothers who were injured in Zhouzhuang this time? Do you return to the cottage with the grain transport team, or continue to stay in this week? ”

At this time, Quartz walked up to Li Zixiao and asked in a loud voice.

"This is easy to do, tell Dong Zhuang, this time to beat Zhouzhuang our seriously injured brothers, let them follow the grain transport team back to the cottage to recuperate.

As for those who have suffered some minor injuries, they should stay in Zhouzhuang first, and after a while, they can return to their own team at any time.

And in the next period of time, our army will not be able to return to the cottage, and will be stationed in Zhouzhuang, so that they can speed up the transfer of money and grain according to the plan we made before.

Also, those who I will do next to do the Zhouzhuang Great Training, the five hundred recruits and the young men of Liucun recruited by my brother will train here.

It's a pity that there are still big tasks on the side of the battle team, and there is really no manpower to come out to train these recruits, so let these lightly injured people be responsible for the next recruit training. ”

Li Zixiao attacked Zhouzhuang this time, and the price they paid was almost negligible, only thirteen people were killed in the battle, more than a dozen people were seriously injured, and more than 30 people were slightly injured.

Being able to take the fortified fortress of Zhouzhuang at such a weak price was something that everyone had not expected before, and the eyes of those soldiers of the White Dragon Army who looked at Li Zixiao at this time were full of admiration.

Some of the soldiers were slightly injured and were temporarily treated in the medical team, and some were not seriously injured, but it was obviously not possible to return them to the team immediately at the moment.

So instead of letting them be idle, it is better to give Liu Bao an emergency first,

Most of these wounded soldiers have already experienced two or three battles, and they were all trained by Li Zixiao from the recruit camp, which is also a training step.

Although they can't go into battle for the time being due to injuries, it is not too much of a problem to train the recruits.

After hearing this, Quartz summed it up slightly, and said with a smile: "It's still a big boss, and there is no problem that can stump the big boss." ”

"It's really strange that you're a stuffy gourd that can also make a sycophant, okay, go and inform Dong Xiang." Li Zixiao said with a smile.

Quartz he, and then ran out.

"Big boss, the person you want me to find, I brought it to you." After a while, Wei Hong came over, and the two White Dragon Army soldiers behind him escorted an old man in his fifties and sixties.

"He is the Zhou family's chief butler?" Li Zixiao glanced at the old man behind Wei Hong and asked.

"Yes, big boss. This old boy was secretly hidden, and it took our boss a lot of effort to catch him, and he almost let him escape from the village among the slaves of the Zhou family. ”

Wei Hong directly dragged the old man behind him over and said.

"Are you the chief butler of the Zhou family?" At this time, Li Zixiao looked at the old man, with a cold face, and asked in a cold voice.

"In ...... Xia Zhao Zhiguang is the housekeeper of the Zhou family, what is the matter with not Li Da being the master looking for the little old man? The old man was also frightened, and replied tremblingly.

"Since it's the Zhou family's housekeeper, it's easy to do."

As he spoke, Li Zixiao threw a stack of papers directly in front of him, all of which were deed and title deeds that he had searched from Zhou Laocai.

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to kill you, and if you can do the things I confessed, I can spare your son, grandson, and the whole family.

They are all imprisoned in the dungeon of the Zhou Mansion now, do you want to rescue them? Li Zixiao said seductively.

"What? Li Da is in charge, my son and grandson are not dead yet? After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Zhao Zhiguang shouted excitedly.

Of course, he knew that the White Dragon Army had searched for the Zhou family's hardcore Zhuang Ding during the week, and as the Zhou family's chief steward, he was of course the hardcore of the irons, and if he was caught, he would definitely die.

Not only him, but even Zhao Zhiguang's entire family is also a grandfather serving the Zhou family, and it is the iron of the irons, originally Zhao Zhiguang thought that his family was probably killed by this group of evil bandits.

However, now he didn't expect Li Zixiao to tell him that his whole family was not dead, but was imprisoned by them.

"Yes."

Li Zixiao beckoned to one of the guards, and the guards went down, and soon the guards came over with a middle-aged man and two children.

"Boss, Qing'er, Ping'er, my grandson." When he saw the three people brought out by the guard from behind, Zhao Zhiguang shouted excitedly.

"Daddy, Grandpa."

The middle-aged man led the two children and ran to Zhao Zhiguang to hug him, and the four grandparents hugged their heads and cried, this night was too long for their family.

"Boss, my grandson, it's great that you're okay, what about the others?" Zhao Zhiguang wiped the tears from his face and asked his eldest son.

"Dad, it's Master Li who has shown mercy to our subordinates, except for the second brother who is a little injured, our whole family is fine, but your old man must follow the instructions of Master Li to do things!

Our whole family's lives depend on you. Zhao Zhiguang's eldest son also cried to him with a pleading face.

"Yes."

At this time, Li Zixiao signaled to the guard behind him, and the guard stepped forward to take Zhao Zhiguang's eldest son and his two grandsons away.

"Li Da is in charge, what do you want Xiao Lao'er to do, just explain it, as long as you can ensure the safety of my family, even if it is a liver and brain, I will not give up."

Zhao Zhiguang is also an old man who has lived for decades, of course he knows that Li Zixiao is blackmailing him with his family, and there must be something for him to do.

And at this time, he still has a way to refuse, so he simply behaves directly and seeks a way out for his family.

"Okay, Steward Zhao is happy, I, Li, promise, as long as you complete the things I told you, I will let your family go unscathed.

But if you dare to play any tricks with Lao Tzu, I will let your whole family go to the funeral of Zhou Laocai's family, and you won't want to continue to serve Zhou Laocai underground! ”

Li Zixiao said in a cold voice.

"Definitely, definitely, listen to Master Li's orders." Zhao Zhiguang praised again and again.

"I've inquired, you've been a housekeeper in the Zhou family for more than twenty years, so you must know most of their industries outside the family."

"Back to Li Da's family, the Zhou family's industry outside, Xiao Lao'er does know most of it."

"Tell me."

"Yes, the Zhou family's industries outside are mainly distributed in Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, mainly involving more than a dozen manors, as well as grain shops, restaurants, inns, pawnshops, etc., and there are 200 acres of fertile land in Guide Mansion.

As for other small businesses, there are many other small businesses, and there are also industries that are run in partnership with others, as far away as Yangzhou and Suzhou, they have also opened cloth villages. ”

"Shout, this Zhou family is not only a landlord, but also a good businessman, but unfortunately the Zhou family industry in Kaifeng and Suyang is far away, we can't take care of it.

However, those Zhou family properties in Guide Mansion are still worth a lot of money, Steward Zhao, these are all the property deeds of the Zhou family outside you.

I guess what I want you to do now, you should have guessed everything.

That's right, I will have someone take you to Guide Mansion, and you will use your identity as the great housekeeper of Zhou Zhuang to sell all the Zhou family's properties there in a short period of time and exchange them for silver.

You can rest assured, even if the news of Zhouzhuang's attack reaches Guide Mansion in a short period of time, it will only be known by the government, and no one among the people will know about it so quickly.

However, there is not much time left for you, and when the time comes, you can sell it cheaply, as long as you can receive a silver ticket, the Zhou family has a lot of property in Guide Mansion, and it is estimated that it will be worth a lot of money. ”

"This ...... Xiao Lao'er has already completed this matter for Li Da's family. ”

This Steward Zhao first showed embarrassment, but then thought of his family members who were still imprisoned by the White Dragon Army, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, Steward Zhao, I'll wait for your good news, and wait for you to return safely and reunite with your family."

"Wei Hong, this time I plan to send you to pretend to be the Zhou family's guards, escort Steward Zhao to Guide Mansion, and wait for Steward Zhao to sell the silver obtained from the Zhou family's property there, and hand it over to you.

Don't come back for the time being, take someone to Kaifeng, use the money in your hand to buy some properties in Kaifeng Mansion, do some business, and I will send Zhang Ergouzi to assist you at that time.

You will first lurk in Kaifeng, and find out more about the situation of the Kaifeng Mansion, you are thoughtful, and you are sent to Kaifeng to preside over the situation, so that I can rest assured.

I estimate that it won't be long before we have to come into contact with the Kaifeng Mansion Yin who has never been masked, and then I need to have an internal response in Kaifeng.

This matter is very important to our White Dragon Army, and you don't want to disappoint me. Li Zixiao stood up as he spoke, walked up to Wei Hong, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

"Yes, the big boss, the subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the big boss." In the end, Wei Hong readily agreed.

Although he still likes the feeling of going to the battlefield and charging into battle, after seeing Li Zixiao's expectant eyes, he still agreed.

On the one hand, Li Zixiao this time is to take over the Zhou family's property in Guide Mansion, these are all money, and they can't be wasted like this.

After all, he couldn't take care of the Zhou family industries that were far away in Kaifeng and Su Yang, but those Zhou family industries that were close to Guide Mansion, he had to accept them unceremoniously.

Just so that Wei Hong can go to Kaifeng with the money from the sale of the Zhou family's industry, Li Zixiao has already begun to lay out in advance, and he will definitely use it in the future.

Why did Li Zixiao choose Wei Hong, it was really that there were too few henchmen around him who could be used and trusted at this time.

At the same time, because Wei is thoughtful and thoughtful, he is also gentle, more like a Confucian general, not as reckless as Zhou Dazhu, and not as strong as Liu Chong's military atmosphere.

It will not make people associate him with bandits and soldiers at the first sight, plus he is literate, and if he dresses up a little, no one will recognize him as a bandit.

Li Zixiao thought about it, among all his subordinates, there was no one more suitable than Wei Hong.

Soon, Wei Hong took Li Zixiao's order and personally selected thirty cronies from his team to escort Steward Zhao to Guide Mansion with him.

………………………………………………………………

When the sentinels sent by other Zhuangbao around them went back and brought back the news that Zhouzhuang had been captured by the White Dragon Army within a day, sure enough, the surrounding landlords and old fortunes couldn't sit still.

What frightened them even more was that after they learned how Li Zixiao had captured Zhouzhuang so quickly, these landlords and old fortunes really felt cold in their necks.

"This ...... Where are these bandits, this is even more terrible than those thieves! The white dragon bandit killed by this god, this is the root of our life again! ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, some landlords scolded loudly and angrily.

"Damn the White Dragon Army, it is really lawless to dare to incite those mud-legged people to rebel, the imperial court, hurry up and send a large army to destroy this group of bandits!"

Sure enough, after these landlords and old fortunes heard that Li Zixiao was in Zhouzhuang and offered the conditions to those tenants in Zhouzhuang, these people could no longer sit down.

They can also feel the terrible consequences of Li Zixiao's primary agrarian revolution, and think about those mud legs, which one does not desire to get their own land.

At that time, if Li Zixiao came to attack their fort, it was estimated that they would not have to do anything, and the tenants under them would have to turn against them first.

Thinking that such a strong Zhouzhuang was destroyed in one day, it made them feel even more frightened, at this time Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army had already begun to form a scale.

At the very least, he can say that in the entire Yongcheng County, and even in the entire territory of Guide Province, it is difficult to find an armed force that can confront it, whether it is officers and soldiers or bandits.

"Quickly inform the housekeeper, let him order someone to pack up the luggage in the house, bring all the silver in the house, let's prepare to leave Zhuangzi, go to Guide Mansion to avoid it first."

At this time, there were some smart landlords and old fortunes who had already seen that Yongcheng County's own Zhuangzi could not stay and was ready to run away.

"Master, are we really leaving? If we leave, won't we give Zhuangzi to those bandits in vain! ”

"Nonsense, if you don't leave, even your life will be gone, why do you care so much at this time, hurry up and pack your things."
