Chapter 239: Something Happened
It turned out that the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and began to set fire to the village, and after Chang Ping took his clothes and the two were dressed neatly, the fleet set sail in the fire. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thirteen consecutive villages that have been in trouble for more than ten years have completely become history.
From the open waterway to the outer village, the water thieves here have already run out, and they have easily searched for valuable things and burned the village. Back to Laozi Mountain, the corpse here was also burned clean by Wang Zhuang, and after digging for a while under the position of Jingguan, a row of tightly wrapped boxes appeared in front of him, and there were nearly five million taels of them after a little calculation.
"The Thirteen Lianzhai is really rich, and the total wealth is more than 20 million taels of silver. If there are more robbers like this, after they are exterminated one by one, I will become the richest person in the whole Ming Dynasty. It's worth it, it's really worth it. ”
This trip, Chang Wei not only looted 18 million taels of silver, but also got 560,000 meritorious points.
But what made him feel strange was that after killing Xie Chunqiu, the system prompted him to get 30,000 reputation points, which was a little too little, even less than the reputation points he got from killing Xu Jingtai and Yang Hongtai.
After thinking about it, it was probably because his subordinates shot him, and it became less distributed to his head.
"Let's go, let's go back to Pinghu Courtyard!"
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, the fleet set sail and arrived in the waters of Liuhuai Town two hours later.
With an astronomical amount of wealth of eighteen million taels in his hands, Chang Wei didn't dare to be careless, let alone let any outsiders know. Ask He Chengkong and Tang Xingtian, the two top masters and two hundred musketeers, to take three big boats and immediately return to Zhenjiang and hand them over to the second brother Chang Tong.
After seeing the three big ships go away, Chang Weicai led the remaining ships to dock at Liuhuai Town. As soon as I went ashore, I saw the shops and goods stores on the street, all the shop doors were closed, and the trading market was empty.
Tang Jinyi said: "It seems that the enemy of Pinghu Courtyard has also been swept away. ”
Su Chengcheng said: "Of course, you have a top master like the Sky Gang Master, so it's no wonder if you can't win." ”
But when she followed everyone into the Pinghu Courtyard and found that Master Shaolin Kongzhi was also at the scene, she was speechless in shock. Then, Chang Wei's energy had to be reassessed.
Except for Niu Guang's foresight and early running away from the Pinghu Courtyard, the rest of the people were all ambushed, and the Changkong Peerless not only avenged the fiasco last year, but also received 500,000 taels of silver in compensation, and the happy Changkong Gang was excited. However, fortunately, they didn't know how much Chang Wei had gained, otherwise they were afraid that Chang Wei would have to pester Chang Wei to share a penny.
Chang Wei naturally didn't forget what Xu Jingtai and Su Qingcheng were looking for, but he rummaged through Pinghu Tower, and he didn't see the account book that could threaten Tengle Mountain, and some were only Pinghu Tower's own account book, and there was nothing that could be used as evidence at all.
"Let's go to the cellar and look at the stone. Chang Wei remembered what Fang Huan'er said about the Pinghu Stone that could be called a special Pinghu stone.
But he was disappointed again, there was nothing special in the cellar except for some torture instruments, and no one had ever seen the stone when he asked his men.
An old man in charge of cleaning in the Pinghu courtyard said that the stone had always been there in the past, because it could suppress the legend of Honghu water, and everyone wanted to please a good fortune, and no one would move the stone, but I don't know who took advantage of the chaos in the past few days to get rid of it.
"Could it be that there is something strange about that stone? was it taken away by Niu Guangyuan?"
Pinghuyuan and the thirteen chain villages have been extinguished, and the next step is to destroy the thirteen sub-villages and how to deal with the Pinghuyuan and the shops that belong to Pinghuyuan.
Located in Yangzhou, the Changkong Gang has always had a tradition of opening brothels, with prostitutes and gambling accounting for half of the Gang's income, and the other half coming from selling illicit salt.
Chang Wei said that he was an official of the imperial court and could not operate this kind of industry, so he generously gave up the Pinghu Courtyard and ancillary properties to Changkong Peerless, and was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, so he asked for 100,000 taels of silver for military expenses.
In all fairness, Pinghu Tower and the surrounding industries are worth at least three or five hundred thousand taels, and after getting Pinghu Tower, the Changkong Gang can also use this as a base to operate aquatic products and lake pearls in Honghu Lake, which is definitely a lucrative business, and the value is immeasurable.
Changkong Peerless also searched for 500,000 taels of silver in Pinghu Tower, as well as hundreds of ready-made girls, this is all wealth.
100,000 taels of military expenses, Changkong peerless agreed. This made Chang Wei a little embarrassed.
However, if you think about it carefully, this request is not too much at all, if it weren't for Chang Wei's intelligence, he wouldn't have been able to suspect the head of Pinghu Courtyard at all, even if he could find the Thirteen Serial Village Lair and Xie Chunqiu himself, the Changkong Gang would definitely not dare to occupy Pinghu Courtyard to do business, it was Chang Wei who made a big effort, but he didn't take any benefits.
However, Chang Wei's ultimate goal is to control the rivers and lakes, how could a good place like Pinghu Courtyard be let go? With the help of Fang Huan'er's hands, more than a dozen outstanding girls and stewards became Chang Wei's informants, and their leaders were the Minghuan girl and her sister Mingcui.
"Control the rivers and lakes starts here!"
Under the joy of all, the next crusade against the thirteen sub-villages will be smoother, because the seven villages and eight villages have been revoked, in fact, only eleven sub-villages need to be cleaned up.
Fang Huan'er's Xinglong Village already belongs to Chang Wei, and Tu Zhenhai's Jia Tan Village only needs to send Chang Ping to receive it.
In addition, Chang Wei is also divided into Dingtan Village, Flagpole Village, Daxing Village, Shengshan Village four sub-villages connected with Xinglong Village, these sub-villages are far away from the total village, so the hoarding of money is also the most, like Tu Zhenhai Village has a million taels of silver.
And Liuhuai Village, Huairen Village, Linhuai Village, Longhuai Village, Taiping Village are all around the total village, these oil and water are not big to let the sky peerless to exterminate.
It is conservatively estimated that on this trip to Honghu, Chang Wei can earn 20 million taels of silver.
"That's enough silver to build a few ocean-going fleets, no, but also ironclad ships, battleships, large-caliber guns, breech-loading guns, rifled machine tools, and even steam engines. By the way, you can also set up schools to cultivate talents belonging to the industrial age, and all ideas can be put into practice......"
With the wealth of the rich country, Chang Wei's ambition immediately swelled, and everything that previously only existed in the imagination had the conditions to be realized.
"Look at your evil smile, I guess I don't think of anything good. Chang Wei was thinking about it when Tang Shuxue interrupted his thoughts.
Chang Wei smiled: "I'm thinking about when I'll marry my little Shuxue." ”
Tang Shuxue snorted, "Hmph, it's really the same." ”
Chang Wei was about to answer, but she said, "Enlightenment and Ma Yuan are back, it seems that they are looking for you in an emergency." ”
"Huh?" Chang Wei was surprised, "I didn't let them come back, what happened?"
"I don't know, they're almost there, it's a message from the soldiers patrolling the lake. ”
With huge doubts in his heart, Chang Wei rushed to the flagship ship parked at the entrance of the town.
After waiting for a short time, the Twelve Arhats arrived in a small boat, and without waiting for the boat to stop, Ma Yuan flew up to the boat, and when he saw Chang Wei, he shouted in flames: "My lord, it's not good, something is wrong!" )
