Lutheran Gang, Chief Helmsman

The whole gang was on a big boat, drifting with the water, and at this time there were seven or eight boats and dozens of clippers, surrounding them.

The arrows with fire, one by one, hit the boat, and the fire caught fire with the wind, and the people who had been cowering on the boat and intended to flee had to appear, and once they came out, they did not wait to jump into the water, and what was waiting for them was a rain of arrows that killed them.

There were several masters who were shot into hedgehogs and fell into the water, and they didn't even slash and kill one or two officers and soldiers to pull them on their backs, and they died of grievance.

"What's that!"

Just when the big boat where the leader of the Xinyi Gang was hiding hit a way and was about to escape, the clipper boat that was about to intercept caught up, but it was directly knocked over by a huge black shadow in the water, and the boat overturned again and again, so that the offensive of the officers and soldiers was stagnant, and the people of the Xinyi Gang were about to escape with the help of this unknown force.

"Die!" A sword light entered the water, and a thunderbolt fell from the clear sky, and with a "poof" sound, the water surface suddenly rolled, and after a while, blood came up.

"Strong man, please stay!" Not waiting to be surprised that it might be a demon in the water, supervising the battle inspection, all the attention was placed on the man who was about to leave with his sword, and hurriedly greeted him, trying to stay.

The man didn't even look at it, and left directly.

Seeing that this person simply left like this, the inspector couldn't help but sink his face.

The person on the side saw the abnormality when he greeted him just now, and couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Lord Zhang, did this person help us, your reaction, are you afraid that this person will violate the ban with force?"

Zhang Inspector glanced at it lightly: "Yes, all force should be in the hands of the imperial court, and the chivalry is very harmful to violate the ban with force, these Jianghu guests are arrogant and arrogant, don't say that they helped us once, even if they saved 10,000 times, they also want to kill their heads and rob their homes." ”

"That's what we do as officials. ”

Many people think that meritorious service can be safe, but in fact, as long as it is not in the system and is not controlled, no matter how meritorious service is made, it is among the cleanups.

The only difference is that it may be a chance to join.

"What my lord said is, but if I'm not mistaken, I know this person. The people around him muttered: "Before coming, he had crossed the Ming Road in front of the Qi Governor's Mansion, and it was said that he was the new Governor's disciple, this kind of us are not easy to kill." ”

"Fu Cheng, the champion of the new department?" The inspection couldn't help but change color, he was only from the official of the ninth grade, and the Fu Cheng was the sixth grade, even if it was an agent, it was also from the sixth grade, a difference of three big grades.

couldn't help but be discouraged at the moment, and sighed: "It's with the protection of these officials that the Jianghu guests are so rampant!"

"If it goes on for a long time, it will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

Thuan An Province

In an open space, there were hundreds of officials, who were busy all the time, and from time to time they looked at the two human heads hanging on the bamboo poles, which were fresh and blood was dripping.

On the wooden table were trophies.

"Five taels of gold, a total of one hundred, five hundred taels!"

The little official carefully looked at the gold bars placed on the table in front of him, all of them were of excellent fineness, five taels and one small one, that is, the gold cakes that could be held in the palm of the child's hand, neatly and neatly stacked a full hundred, and the number was counted, and someone sitting at the table picked up a pen to record, and then a servant stepped forward to put five hundred gold bars into the box, sealed the box and put it in the open space.

"One box of silver, ten taels and one ingot, a total of one thousand taels!"

"There are five pairs of jade Ruyi, the water color is high-quality, and the estimated value is five hundred taels!"

"One hundred and thirteen brocades!"

"Seven coral ornaments!"

"Six boxes of silver, five taels and one ingot, a total of six thousand taels!"

"Ten boxes of silver, ten taels and one ingot, a total of 10,000 taels!"

As the spoils of war were recorded one by one, although the officials present were busy and tired, they felt a sense of peace of mind.

The fact that the Shun'an Mansion has no money and has a deficit of 700,000 taels is a sharp sword that has always hung over the heads of these people, and as long as it is not a day, their promotion will be affected, which is a stain on their resumes, and they will be deducted points in the triennial official evaluation.

Not to mention, the government does not need money to do anything? Without money, it is difficult to move an inch, and at present, because there is no money, the major task of exterminating locusts can only be carried out by deducting and withholding ropes.

And now, there is a lot of loot, and these small mines are collected, and when the time comes, it will be another income, and the gold mines are in the hands of the government, and they can produce five hundred taels of gold a year, which is equal to five or six thousand taels of silver.

Not only can it immediately alleviate the shortage of money crisis in various departments of Thuan An Province, and it can do things with money, but also there is no need to be tied down as an official.

Thinking so, his eyes glanced at Qi Hongxin and the human head hanging on it.

This is not a bandit, but a small official, count the goods, take advantage of the chaos, and report to Qi Hongxin in the eyes of the crowd if he doesn't want to--have nothing to say, and immediately correct the Fa in public.

"These are all collected from the general rudder of the three gangs, how many have been registered?" When Qi Hongxin came over, he saw boxes of silver being placed as high as a hill, and at the same time, his heart was relieved, and at the same time, he asked Su Ziji, who was only supervising here.

In Shun'an Mansion, in addition to the prefect in charge of various affairs, Su Ziji, the newly appointed governor, is suitable for being in charge of money and grain affairs.

The county lieutenant, that is, the prefectural lieutenant, is an officer who specializes in ordering troops, and although the rank is not low, he generally does not interfere in this kind of registration of war spoils.

Su Ziji was just in office and was only an agent, so he was not looked down upon by these officials at the beginning, but with the ease of supporting the task and calling out the names of each official, the people here gradually put away their contempt.

Hearing Qi Hongxin's inquiry, Su Ziji smiled: "The gold record is five hundred taels, and the silver record is twenty-five thousand six hundred taels." ”

After a pause, he said: "These occupy two-thirds of the treasury of the three gangs, and the other third is some jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and silk, and when exchanged for silver, there should be seven or eight thousand taels." ”

"As for the land under his name, it is distributed according to merit. ”

When the water is clear, there is no fish, and now the Shun'an Mansion wants silver, and land is not rare, but the officials and county soldiers prefer the land, and both are happy.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be two heads.

After saying this, he saw Qi Hongxin's expression relaxed: "Five hundred taels of gold, about thirty thousand taels of silver? ”

"Unfortunately, it's not enough. ”

But this is also no way, when he learned about the three gangs and private mines from Su Ziji, he was already mentally prepared that he could only confiscate the private mines and not get much loot.

It is impossible for the three gangs to take such a deep root in Shun'an Mansion by relying on their own strength, so that the government deliberately ignores them, they must have a backstage.

And the gold and silver obtained from various private mines every year must have flowed to the forces behind it, and there may not be much that can be left in hand.

It was a surprise to be able to collect so much now.

"My lord!" Just when Qi Hongxin's mood was just a few points better, the master who followed Qi Hongxin to Shun'an Mansion to take office, his face was a little ugly and he held a booklet: "This is just from a box, look at this!"

Qi Hongxin saw that his master showed such an expression, so he took the booklet in his hand, only opened it and read one page, and his face darkened.

"Bastard!"

"These people are damn damned!"
