"Welcome to the arrival of Master Wang, the villain has been looking forward to it for a long time, if there is a long drought and a rainy ......"
Gao Shiyin's forward battalion army, and a part of the Shanxi town soldiers and horses, from the east of Jiexiu City to the Fengmen into the city, several big families in the city, the Han family, the Zhang family, the Meng family and other family heads, early lead the clansmen, and some close gentry officials will greet them.
They represent another force in the city, Jiexiu City was the earliest place of residence of the Han surname, and it was called "Hanban City" in ancient times, and the folk have the saying that "there is Hanban Bridge first, and then there is Jiexiu City". There are also many people with the surname Meng here, and there are three Meng families, and the people surnamed Zhang are also big families.
They and the Fan family is a rival, naturally unwilling to accompany Fan Yongdou to the funeral, after the news of Taiyuan came, they plotted to dedicate the city, although the local officials are close to the Fan family, but they are not without influence in the army, secretly open a city gate, it can still be done.
Gao Shiyin rubbed his face, he was also a little tired after running around for days, but he still said majestically: "Very good, the shopkeeper's abandonment of darkness and light, this is a wise move, my general, will naturally be rewarded for meritorious deeds." ”
The heads of the families nodded and said: "This is the intention of the villain, don't dare to take credit, don't dare to take credit." ”
Looking at the iron cavalry soldiers behind Gao Shiyin, they were secretly frightened, it was indeed the army of tigers and wolves, such elite soldiers......
The head of the Han family seemed to be unable to open his teeth, and said dryly: "The army has entered the city, this ......"
Gao Shiyin understood what he meant, and waved his hand: "My Jingbian army has strict military discipline, and there is no crime in the autumn where I pass, and the people have never harassed the pot. As long as everyone in the city does not seek death for himself, they will not die. ”
Then his face sank. He said, "However, if anyone dares to attack the army, whoever he is. Surely death! ”
The heads of the families put their hearts at ease and praised loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the benevolent and righteous division of the Jingbian Army is even more famous when we meet." ”
They said. A banquet has been prepared for General Gao, and cattle and sheep wine and food have been prepared for the army.
Gao Shiyin said: "Drink wine and eat meat, let's get down to business first." ”
The heads of the families volunteered to lead the army to Fan's mansion.
Jiexiu City is bustling. Merchants gathered, people and things are vast, just like a metropolis.
There are four main streets in the city, all of which are lined with shops, as well as many money houses and pawnshops. Fan's original residence in Zhangyuan Village, and then slowly moved to Jiexiu City, the house is in the southwest corner, occupying a number of streets and alleys, and the northwest corner is mostly the place of the government office and other public offices.
After the forward battalion and the Shanxi army entered the city, they encountered a lot of resistance along the way, after all, most of the clansmen of the Fan clan were generals and officials of the Jiexiu City army, and the shadow of the family was ruined, so they had to fight hard.
They were fought by the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Town, all of whom were elite cavalry of various battalions, and before the forward battalion fought, they caused the local defenders to retreat one after another, leaving many corpses and wounded along the way.
The battle ended in less than half an hour, and the heroes of Shanxi Town cleared all the resistance forces.
Gao Shiyin led the army to watch the battle, supervise, and prevent them from taking the opportunity to burn and kill, after all, except for the Jingbian Army, the rest of the army, military discipline is not good, and even Yang Guozhu's main barracks have many bad customs.
At noon, Gao Shiyin ordered martial law in Jiexiu City, and then under the leadership of the Han family and others, he personally led people to raid the house.
Along the way, the streets and alleys, lined with the archways of the Fan family, came to the front of the Fan Mansion in the southwest corner of the city.
There is a huge mansion in front of me, and I don't know how many people go out and how many enters, the front yard, the back yard, the east yard, the west yard, the main yard, the side yard, the cross yard, the study yard, the enclosed courtyard...... And so on, coupled with numerous gardens, covering an area of dozens of acres.
"The people anoint the people, and the superior life of the Fan family is based on the flesh and blood of my Han people."
Gao Shi Yince was on the horse, took out a note from his arms, looked at it, and read it solemnly.
"What the general said is very true!"
The heads of the family echoed in unison, looking at the luxurious mansion in front of them, their eyes shining with jealousy.
"Break the door!"
Gao Shiyin shouted angrily.
The platoon shot several times, knocking down some of the family members holding bird guns at the head of the wall of Fan's mansion, and then rained down thousands of enemies and poisonous smoke bombs from outside the outer wall of the door, and in the dense explosion, the screams inside were connected.
The sound of "clanging" on the door continued, and some Shanxi troops, carrying thick pointed hardwood, shouted trumpets, and kept banging on the heavy gate.
Behind them, there were soldiers of the forward battalion who were lined up in neat formations, armed with swords and shields, and spears.
About a quarter of an hour later, the gate was knocked open, the Shanxi army retreated, and the soldiers of the forward battalion behind the shield fired several rounds of bullets at the door, knocking down a large number of courtyard guards and their officers and soldiers near the courtyard gate.
The smoke of gunpowder did not stop, and in Gao Shiyin's drinking order, dense hats and helmets poured in from the gate of Fan's mansion, and desperate screams came from inside.
Raided Fan's Mansion, Gao Shiyin dispatched two total troops.
After breaking the gate, the family members in the mansion could no longer talk about any resistance, and they were cleared one by one by the soldiers who entered the mansion, either dead or surrendered, and then the soldiers of the forward battalion searched the house from house to house, pulled out the Fan clan one by one, cried and shouted in the ground, and brought them to the hall one by one.
Not long after, Fan Yongdou, who was trembling all over, was caught in a secret passage and brought to Gao Shiyin, which caused the arrested people to cry.
Gao Shiyin sat on the top of the lobby, and there were battalion officials and generals sitting on the left and right, as well as the head of the Han family, etc., respectfully standing at the head of the bottom.
Seeing that Fan Yongdou, who was stunned and dead below, was brought up, Gao Shiyin put a note into his arms, slapped the table next to him, and made a loud noise.
He shouted angrily: "Fan Yongdou, you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and your crime is extremely heinous!" ”
He cried out, "Because of you, what are the people who die under the Tartar sword?" How many cities have been lost? You, after being sent to hell, should first go up to the Sword Mountain, then get out of the oil pot, then go to the Fire Sea Punishment Domain, and finally go to the Ling Chi Punishment Domain, slash 1,336 knives, and finally throw yourself into the Animal Dao! ”
His desk slapped loudly, and the head of the Han family and others below looked at Fan Yongdou, and at the same time, Gao Shiyin's words. I also heard their faces turn like earth, and they followed and scolded: "Fan Yongdou, I didn't expect you to be so mad." The old man is really blind! ”
"Fan Yongdou, you scum, you should be cut with a thousand knives!"
"Fan Yongdou, you traitor. Everybody gets it! ”
Gao Shiyin said: "Listen, listen, this is the back of people's hearts." Fan Yongdou, you are full of evil, and it is not a pity to die! ”
Fan Yongdou listened to the scolding of everyone, his eyebrows and eyes moved slowly, and a miserable smile appeared on his old face.
In the end, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "The old man is not guilty, if the old man is guilty, who is innocent?" Smuggling slaves. Funding Dongyu, why not the old man? Shaanxi trilateral, Xuanda trilateral, Jizhen, Liaodong. There are many troops in the border forts, and if there is no one to help, how can we ship the goods out? ”
"Nine sides, which official will not be able to pass the slave? Yongning Hou, is this a soft pinch of persimmons? Why didn't he do it to the king of Jin, the king of Dai, and the king of the valley? Why didn't they smuggle and collaborate with the enemy? ”
He shouted hoarsely: "The old man is not convinced! ”
Gao Shiyin slapped the desk: "Hmph, the horse picks the strong lead, everything has a first step, you are so guilty of great evil, and you dare to harm the East Road, this is your retribution first!" ”
"It's not that you don't report it, the hour has not come, and when the hour comes, you will definitely report it!"
He slapped the table again, feeling that it tasted very good, and he waved his hand: "Take this traitor to the hall first!" ”
Then he stood up with a brush: "All the soldiers, quickly raid the house, don't miss a tael of silver, a bucket of grain and rice, these treasures must be properly handed over to the general, only his old man can really take it from the people, use it for the people, and truly benefit the people of the country." ”
After saying this, Gao Shiyin secretly admired himself, and he spoke by himself, becoming more and more level.
……
The officers of the Intelligence Department lurking in Jiexiu City led the soldiers to search the homes of the Fan Mansion one by one, and they knew very well that the methods of these rich families to hide their wealth and silk, in addition to the open warehouse, there were countless secret cellars of all kinds, and all kinds of unbelievable methods.
For example, an intelligence department led a team of soldiers into an ordinary warehouse, and the soldiers looked left and right, and saw that the warehouse was nothing more than some common commercial goods, and they did not understand why this fine action was so cautious.
They looked at the man, and saw him coming and going, coming and going, with light or heavy steps, and sometimes knocking on the bricks on the ground, and listening carefully, and soon they saw him come to a great pillar, thoughtful.
The soldiers didn't understand that this pillar looked ordinary, nothing unusual, and there were many of them in the warehouse.
Suddenly, the intelligence department made a careful work, pulled out the head knife on his body, and slashed it on the pillar a few times, revealing the yellow and clear color inside, and everyone shouted, it turned out that this pillar was actually made of brass.
Then turn to other pillars, untie the head knife and cut the direction, revealing the true face of Lushan one by one, all the copper materials, not brass, or copper, bronze, white copper, so many copper materials, how many copper coins can be cast?
Not only that, but the fine work also pried up a few square bricks on the ground, cleared them with his hands, and immediately a silver light was revealed.
Everyone worked together, with the surface of the bricks removed, everyone as if in a silver world, the original warehouse floor, all paved with silver bricks, and even some gold bricks.
Everyone was eye-opening, and the officer sighed: "What an eye-opener......"
At the same time, another member of the Intelligence Division, a thousand generals, led a team of armor soldiers to break through a rockery in a certain courtyard, revealing a passage inside, and then meandered down, and there seemed to be a dark cellar below.
Everyone went down the steps, feeling that the breathability was very good, and there was a bright light from nowhere, and the whole dark cellar structure was impressive.
I don't know how deep I went, how far I walked, and then I turned a corner, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes.
Then they looked over again, and they were all stunned, and in the wide cellar, there were large winter melons, all shining with silver light, and they were all made of silver.
These silver winter melons are very heavy, one is afraid of weighing hundreds of pounds, which can effectively prevent thieves, of course, in the face of this kind of blatant intrusion, there is nothing to be done.
There are dense silver winter melons, and I can't count how many of them are at once, in addition to silver winter melons, there are also many golden winter melons.
Not only that, there are dense cages next to it, after opening, they are pearl agate, gemstone jewelry, rare treasures emerge in endlessly, northern, southern, overseas, Chinese, foreign, for a time, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Mr. Qian's mouth was open for a long time before he said a sentence: "It's really ...... Really...... Scary ......"
……
Gao Shiyin sat in the lobby, listening to the harvest of his subordinates, looking at the books that Zhenfu kept counting, and nodded from time to time, this Fan family is too rich.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he saw that outside the hall, some brothers in the camp suddenly carried some winter melons, and these strong armor soldiers, several of them carrying a winter melon, still felt struggling.
Gao Shiyin took a breath and muttered, "What a big winter melon, it's still silver......"
The battalion generals beside him stood up unconsciously, their expressions straightened, and their eyes opened, hundreds of catties of golden winter melons and silver winter melons.
The head of the Han family and others were also dumbfounded, and they all thought: "Fan's wealth is the first in Shanxi, but it's a pity that it's ......."
Outside the hall, those kneeling Fan clansmen, seeing that in the courtyard, the confiscated gold and silver treasures were accumulating higher and higher, and their hearts were like knives, which were the hard work of the clansmen for generations, Fan Yongdou was also kneeling tremblingly, the old tears were horizontal, it was over, the Fan family was finished, and the efforts of many generations of ancestors were all in vain.
Seeing that one by one the golden winter melons and silver winter melons were being carried, and there were also gold bricks and silver bricks being sent, slowly piled up into a hill, a kneeling man in the crowd, a middle-aged man from Fan's family, couldn't help but shout: "...... No, these are the treasures that my Fan family has accumulated from generation to generation......"
He screamed, and was about to get up and pounce.
The crowd was flustered, and Fan Yongdou also shouted: "Yuanfa, don't ......"
"Presumptuous!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of several guarding soldiers, one of them took a step forward, kicked hard, and the refined leather boots kicked on his lower abdomen, and the middle-aged man of the Fan clan screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and flew back.
"Daring!"
As soon as he fell to the ground, the pain was unspeakable, and a heavy crest, with the sound of the wind, slammed heavily on his lower abdomen, and the middle-aged man of Fan's family spurted out a mouthful of blood again, his body convulsed, and his ends stood up like a fish.
"Dog thief, dare to be dishonest?"
Then, a few more handfuls of guns struck viciously, constantly smashing on his body, smashing the middle-aged man of Fan's whole body spasms, and kept spitting blood clots in his mouth, and when a few soldiers stopped, the man had lost half his life.
Seeing the man rolling and moaning, bleeding all over his face, Fan Yongdou whimpered: "Yuanfa, Yuanfa......"
Seeing that the Fan family was crying below, a battalion officer sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place? ”
The other said lightly: "These thieves are not worthy of sympathy, think about the people who died under the Tartar sword, they are ten thousand times more pitiful than them." ”
He said, "Heaven is evil, especially forgivable, self-inflicted, you can't live." ”
Gao Shiyin raised his eyes and looked: "These prisoners should be taken care of, and they will be sent back for public trial at that time." ”
He Zhenfu looked at the account book again, and said with a smile: "Raiding profiteers has gained a lot." (To be continued.) )
