Lin Jian saw that everyone was very excited, indeed, for a private person, more than 10 million yuan is a huge fortune, he said: "In addition, we also picked up hundreds of armor, bows and arrows, and nearly 170 horses," Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he emphasized again, "It's really a ...... to pick up."

Gu Wuchen and the others all laughed, they knew what Lin Jian meant, even if Liu Xilin was transferred to be the captain of Dongcheng after Zhang Yubo was also the captain of Dongcheng, this armor and horse would not be honestly returned to Dongcheng Captain.

How will Dongcheng Lieutenant's armor and horses be replenished in the future? First, it can be to copy the family property of Chen Zhi, the former captain of Dongcheng, to supplement part of it; The second is to ask the Dongcheng lieutenant to discard the armor and horses of the soldiers to compensate for themselves, these soldiers usually act as a prestige and extort the market in the Dongcheng area, especially some small leaders, who also have a lot of family savings, and it is really unreasonable not to blackmail them; There is still a shortage, and Jiangning Mansion will have to contribute generously.

The value of these "picked up" armor horses is not low, especially in Jiangning City, good horses are worth a lot of money, plus the atonement silver, it is a lot of wealth.

Lin Jian closed his eyes and knew that such a big fortune could not be put into his private pocket, Gu Wuchen was short of money in Jiangning, and Chen / Yuan Liang and Zhang Yubo could not share the profits, so he simply handed them over to Gu Wuchen to dispose of at this time.

In fact, Lin Jian is not selfish at all, the horses are not easy to hide, but the archers and armor are selected and hidden one hundred and ten. Now other materials are easy to handle, but good armor is difficult to obtain. This time, hundreds of anti-donation fishermen under the command of the big and small loach lords who were arrested by the local government have all gone to Changshan Island, and the most urgent thing is the excellent armor. This batch of good things, Lin Jian plans to send them to Changshan Island, and the rest will naturally be handed over to Gu Wuchen for disposal.

Although Dongcheng Lieutenant said that it was a government army, after all, it was a government army in Beijing, and there were indeed a lot of good things, and Lin Tie picked up eight sets of fine scale armor alone.

Although the protection of the Xuanjia is quite good in the world, a full set of Xuanjia must weigh a total of fifty or sixty catties, except for those who are born with divine power, no matter who wears such Xuanjia, their actions will be greatly hindered. The protective power of the fine scale armor is not worse than that of the Xuanjia, and the weight is not even half of the Xuanjia, which is really a good thing, and only middle and senior military attachés in the army have such equipment, who would have thought that Dongcheng Lieutenant would drop eight sets in this group of losers?

In addition to the eight pairs of fine-scale armor, Lin Tie and the others also picked up more than 20 pairs of excellent armor with double skin, and because these armor tools were worn on their bodies to affect their escape, they were the first to be dropped by the Dongcheng Captain.

Before Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, and Gu Wuchen led the people to come, Lin Jian transferred all the armor, bows, arrows and horses he picked up to Prison Island, and used the people of the big and small loach masters to follow the boat in the middle of the transfer process, and Cao Ziang was responsible for transferring eight pairs of fine scale armor, twelve pairs of group armor, twenty pairs of leather armor, and thirty strong bows with more than five bucket bow strength, twelve Mo knife heads, fifty stainless steel spear heads, thirty stainless steel hand knives, and more than 1,200 arrow feathers, etc., and only transferred the other hundreds of armor, bows, arrows and horses to Prison Island. It was handed over to Sun Geng, the director of the book office, for temporary statistics and storage.

Today, the soldiers and horses of Dongcheng Captain retreated among the fields on the south side of the fence, and the armor, bows and arrows were abandoned all over the ground. Lin Tie and they saw the situation clearly on the corner tower, and afterwards sent people to the nearby farmers to ask for armor, bows and arrows and other things, he secretly hid these, Zhang Yubo could not account for it in the future, he could also push it on the heads of the villagers, and it was impossible for Zhang Yubo to settle accounts with him. In addition, when he secretly hid the armor, he only hid the main protective parts of the armor, hid the knife head and the spear head, and put some accessories of the armor, the long handle of the sword, spear and spear and the scabbard into the warehouse for statistics, which also created the illusion that although there were defects, the total amount was not much different.

Gu Wuchen groaned for a moment and said, "Dongcheng Lieutenant's men and horses must indeed be punished and practiced well. I think it's good in this way, the Jiyun Society can have forty military guards in the future, then pick up forty pairs of armor and forty horses to keep, and the rest will be redeemed by those soldiers who discarded the armor. Zhang Yubo rectified the Dongcheng lieutenant three days later, and those who returned the armor were not complete at that time, and reported to the ...... of heavy punishment according to the military preparation division of the inspection department"

"This ...... I'm not going to thank Lord Xie politely," Lin Lian couldn't help but smile and said, he had secretly hidden all the excellent armor before, and at this time, he really picked forty pairs of armor and horses first, which is also a good compensation, "I was afraid that the garrison army would get a piece of the pie, these armor bows and arrows and horses, I transferred them to the prison island to give Changsun Geng into the warehouse, I picked forty horses and forty pairs of armor, and the rest will trouble Chen Zhixian and Lord Zhang and Mr. Zhao to be responsible." ”

***************

Gu Wuchen rested for a while, watched the sky brighten, and was escorted back to the city by Ma Chao.

Nearly 500 Dongcheng lieutenants were lying in the square inside the fence, and Zhang Yubo left nearly 100 people with complete armor - in the chaotic situation yesterday, those who could protect the armor were already some kind of soldiers. The others, Zhang Yubo, were disbanded on the spot and drove back to the city, and agreed that three days later, they would meet with the Military Preparation Division of the Inspectorate Division to severely punish the crime of discarding the armor and horses.

Although these soldiers are all from Jiangning military households, because they are in the fat yamen of Dongcheng Lieutenant, in addition to salary, there are a lot of oil and water that can be fished from everywhere, and their net worth is not thin. Zhang Yubo and Lin Jian are not afraid that they will abandon their homes and abscond. Here they also secretly sent people to release rumors, clearly marking the price, in short, it is cheaper than the Ordnance Bureau or the black market, and they can redeem the armor and horses with silver money.

These soldiers scolded their mothers in their hearts, but they didn't dare to be verbose, thinking that they could redeem the armor and horses with silver money, so that they could keep the fat difference of the captain of Dongcheng, and they would have a chance to make money in the future.

At this time, many people also gathered outside the fence, all of whom were detained in the market to ransom people.

Last night, the news that hundreds of people in the market were slaughtered by Dongyang Juzi at the mouth of the river spread in the city, and the family members of the ruffians who did not return home also knew the habits of their own families. It's just that the city gate was closed after nightfall, and Dongcheng also strengthened martial law because he was worried about the chaos in the forest, and the family members of these ruffians did not make any trouble. After Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan and others entered the city, they first quelled the rumors, announced the crime of storming the ruffians in the Hekou camp, and allowed their families to go to the Hekou camp to atone for their crimes.

When it comes to blackmailing civilians and prisoners, the 100 Dongcheng lieutenants and soldiers left for Zhang Yubo and the catchers, government servants, and sword archers in Moling County are all good at it, especially the Dongcheng lieutenants know the details of these ruffians in the market. Although they usually have incense, many of them are familiar wine and meat friends in casinos and brothels, and they don't recognize people when they turn their faces at this time. Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, Yang Pu, Zhao Qinmin and others were in charge, and temporarily detained more than 30 people who either had a solid family business or were indeed wealthy people in Jiangning Dongcheng as the first criminals, and the other nearly 500 ruffians in the market were allowed to pay for their sins and take them away, and they didn't even bother to beat them with thirty killing sticks.

It is also true that 500 people, each of whom will be given 30 killings, even if 50 people are sent to torture, they will be tired enough, and it is better to kill the sticks with 30 killings and then exchange them for a few taels of silver.

Gu Wuchen opened his mouth, and Lin Jian also politely left forty bows, forty long and short blades, ten pieces of group armor, thirty pieces of leather armor, forty good horses and nearly 2,000 arrows and feathers, and the rest of the armor, bows, arrows and horses were all handed over to Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu, Zhao Qinmin and others for disposal.

From noon, the captain of Dongcheng gave silver money to the soldiers who had been sent back to the city to ransom them one after another.

Until noon the next day, except for the thirty-two detained first offenders, all the others were redeemed by their families, and the armor and horses were also ransomed. Due to Lin Bin's private collection and interception by the Jiyun Society, plus picking up some for the nearby villagers, there were still quite a few soldiers who had not redeemed the armor, so they had to find a way to deal with it themselves in the remaining day.

The estuary construction site was also unable to start for two consecutive days due to these things, and Lin Jingzhong, Cao Ziang and others organized people to repair the fence.

Lin Lianli handed over the armor and prisoner ransom to Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo, and asked Lin Jingzhong to cooperate as much as possible. Yang Shi wanted to accompany the military lieutenant of the Admiral's Mansion and the officials of the Military Reserve Division of the Inspectorate Department to the north bank to select the displaced people to supplement the prison guards, Yang Pu couldn't leave, Lin Jian took time to go to the north bank of Chaotiandang, stayed overnight in Chaotianyi, and returned the next morning, it was already noon when he returned to the estuary, and he heard that the matter here was basically dealt with, so he prepared a banquet and feasted Chen \/Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu, Zhao Qinmin and others as a reward.

***********

Although the field outside the fence wall has been trampled, it is precisely the past three days that people and cars have come and gone, and it is hard to step out of a big road from the official road of Donghua Gate to the south gate of the fence, Lin Jian asked people to invite Chen \ / Yuan Liang and others to the thatched cottage to eat, he and Zhou Pu stood on the high ground next to the bamboo embankment wharf and looked at the south side of the fence wall, and said with a smile: "It is convenient to build roads in the future!" ”

Calm had returned to the fence compared to the night before, and only a few people were left behind in Moling County's catchers, sword archers, Jiangning Soldiers and Horses, Dongcheng Lieutenants, and the cavalry of the Inspectorate Division, and the others were sent back to various places.

Lin Lian has also been dusty in the past few days, and there are a few stains on his official robe, looking at Chen/Yuan Liang in the future, go to the room to change his robe first.

Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman also moved back to the cottage to live, and when Lin Jian changed clothes, they were all in the house. Lin Jian didn't feel abnormal at first, and told them that he had encountered something new when he went to Chaotianyi. When Liu Yue'er wanted to tidy up his clothes for him as usual, Xiaoman stepped up first, she was a little shorter, raised her hand to tidy up the collar for Lin Lian, and said coquettishly: "You really don't know how to wear clothes, you can't take care of the collar, I will serve you to wear clothes in the future......"

Liu Yue'er stood aside with her hands together, watching Xiao Man tiptoe a little to sort out Lin Bin's clothes, and after looking at it for a while, she saw that Xiao Man's movements were deliberately fine, and she also felt bored, and said, "Why don't you two take off your clothes and put them on again?" I'll go see if the banquet is ready......" and left the room.

As soon as Liu Yue'er left the room, Xiao Man also stopped, glanced at the door twice, and said, "Okay, you go out." ”

It is said that girls have a lot of hearts, Xiaoman is only fifteen years old this year, Lin Lian thought to himself: Did you bring back a little trouble this time? asked Xiaoman with a smile: "You lived in the surrounding house last night, didn't you fight?" ”

"......" Xiao Barbarian glanced at Lin Bin, the pair of eyes that were as clear as mountain springs were black and white, and they were also extra charming, and said with pink and red lips, "People care about you, how can you care about a little girl like me?" Besides, everyone here respectfully calls her Miss Liu, will I quarrel with her without knowing each other? Obviously, when she came to Jiangning, she was called the lady of the Xiao family. ”

Lin Jian thought that Xiaoman had just come over, and when she and Liu Yue'er spent more time, maybe it would be better, after all, Xiaoman was only fifteen years old, and he would have a little girl's temper, and listened to the voices of Zhang Yubo and Zhao Qinmin outside, and walked out.

Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu and others didn't have much rest in the past two days, but there was no fatigue on their faces, and they were full of spirit when they laughed, and when they saw Lin Jian walking out of the back room, they all smiled and came over to take his shoulders and said, "Do you know how much we have gained today?" ”

Lin Jian looked at Zhang Yubo holding the account book in his hand, and asked with a smile, "How many can there be?" ”

"This number has not been checked, and it is not much worse," Zhang Yubo opened the account book and showed Lin Jian a line of words. Lin Jian silently calculated in his heart, the copper and silver coins were converted into nearly twenty-three thousand taels of silver, which was indeed a big number, no wonder they were so excited, Zhang Yubo said again, "There are still thirty-two people who are temporarily detained as the first criminal, and they will be dealt with by Lord Gu after they are ......."

Lin Jian nodded and said, "It should be so, there must be a few people who kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." That's good, there are many cells on the island of prison, so put them all in the cells. Their family will take Master Gu's warrant, and I will release them, otherwise I will feed them with good food and drink......"

Naturally, there are also wealthy people in Jiangning City, they are not official households or powerful people, but they are quite powerful in the local area, just like Chen Laiwu, who forced Qian Xiaowu to sell his wife to pay off his debts, raised dozens of ruffians and hooligans who made a living by putting money in printing and collecting debts for others. In addition, there are also wealthy people who open casinos and brothel martial arts halls, there are also wealthy people who specialize in buying girls and servants from brothel villages and wealthy people's houses, there are also wealthy people who rely on the large number of people and are familiar with the government and yamen to collect protection money from shops and merchants, and there are also wealthy people in the fang market who collect taxes from the yamen. The thirty-two people deducted this time are almost all of these characters in the Dongcheng area, and they are naturally oily and fattened people.

Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo all nodded and agreed to send these thirty-two people to the prison island to be detained first, waiting for their families to take Gu Wuchen's warrant to collect people, which means that this may be the biggest piece of oil and water to Gu Wuchen, and they don't share the fat.

Zhao Qinmin is really tired, he is under great psychological pressure, and he didn't rest well last night, always vigilant that Wang Xueshan will send assassins to kill him, and the iron beaters can't bear it. He also knew that among Gu Wuchen's so many cronies, he was probably the most weightless and statusless, and he also knew in his heart that he had no other choice to trust Gu Wuchen, in his opinion, there was no difference between Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan, like Zhang Yubo and Chen \/Yuan Liang were so busy today that it was nothing more than extorting money, but Lin Jian still made him unable to see through. Obviously, it is not easy to give up such a large piece of interest without hesitation.

In the afternoon, Lin Jian accompanied Chen/Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu, and Zhao Qinmin into the city to report to Gu Wuchen the harvest of the past two days. Collect the ransom, some people pay silver, some people pay copper, nearly 14 million copper coins weigh more than 90,000 catties, the rope of the copper coins is intercepted, almost some weigh thousands of catties, Lin Tie They first put more than 9,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold into a carriage when they entered the city, and went straight to Gu's mansion.
