After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 9 Qilu's First Thief

Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the door opened.

The rebel soldiers were so excited and overjoyed.

He was still downcast just now, almost collapsed.At this moment, it was revived with full blood, screaming strangely, and rushed in.Almost everyone has become an invincible warrior, holding a sword, not avoiding the flames, scrambling to kill inside.

Killing people and robbing things when they see them is a lively scene.

Liu Hu, who was injured during the day, actually ignored his injuries at this moment and directly killed him.

Needless to say, Xie Qian led the main force to attack from the front. Due to the chaos in the rear, Zhang Jiajiading ran around and there was a serious shortage of guards. Xie Qian's subordinates easily climbed over the wall and opened the main gate.

Now it was even worse, all the rebels poured into the Zhang family.

There is no more suspense in the battle.

Until dawn, the entire Zhang family compound was completely occupied by the rebels.

All the rebels were bloodied, regardless of their fatigue, they frantically plundered the Zhang family's property, and they were a hundred times happier than New Year's Eve.

Xie Qian was not too restrained, because he knew in his heart that if these people under his command were not allowed to rob them, they might collapse in an instant.

Therefore, it was not until dawn that Xie Qian ordered to rectify the troops and count the prisoners.

It was at this moment that Zhu Yiyuan leisurely appeared in the crowd.

One must know that Zhu Yiyuan entered the Zhang family compound early on, where did he go?

In fact, Zhu Yiyuan first found Tan Qiye and the others. As a bachelor, Zhang Zhifa left behind a family property, needless to say, but with so many things, there is also a priority.

What Zhu Yiyuan focused on was the Zhang family's land deed and IOU.

The Ming Dynasty has long had the disadvantage of investment, and the people could not bear the tax, so they put the land under the name of the gentry and the rich, so as to avoid the tax.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, things became more serious. Natural disasters and man-made disasters caused the people to go bankrupt.

Relying on one family, it is impossible to survive, and one must join a big family and seek shelter.

Take Qingshiji as an example, except for the Zhu family who can keep their bit of land because of their clan status, the rest of the villagers are almost all the land of the Zhang family.

Looking at the entire Zichuan County, the Zhang family's land property is also more than [-]%.

If you control the land, you control the people, so the small Zhang family can gather hundreds of thugs.

As for the county yamen, the yellow books in their hands are simply waste paper.

If you want to know how many people and how many fields there are in Zichuan County, you need to look at the private brochures of big households.

When Zhu Yiyuan was preparing, he told Tan Qiye that because Qiye and the others were illiterate, Zhu Yiyuan followed the first wave of people and entered Zhang's house.

Fortunately, Zhu Yiyuan was lucky, he didn't encounter open guns and hidden arrows, he gathered Qi Ye, Liu Bao and others, and they went straight to Zhang's accountant... When they came, someone had already arrived ahead of time, looting gold and silver wantonly, and rolled them up. just run.

Seeing their flustered appearance, Zhu Yiyuan can almost imagine that this group of people may not be rebels, they may be the guards of the Zhang family's slaves.

At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to grab some points and make a fortune, how can there be such a good opportunity?
Therefore, before fleeing, many servants would turn to Zhang's property.

Those yellow and white ones are really dazzling and breathtaking.

These folks also salivated.

"Things that don't open your eyes, if you rob gold and silver, you also have life flowers. Let's take back our own things!"

Qi Ye yelled loudly, and everyone regained their composure. They followed Zhu Yiyuan to find out all the account books.

Zhu Yiyuan didn't have time to look carefully, so he just took a cursory look at it. There were bills for outgoings and incomings, as well as a large box of IOUs, all of which belonged to the surrounding villagers. , it will become ten taels, twenty taels, or even three to fifty taels... Then this family will be at the mercy of Mr. Zhang.

"These are all evidences of the Zhang family exploiting the folks, take them away!"

Zhu Yiyuan searched around, but did not find any important things like Tian Qi.

Liu Bao suddenly said: "Young Master Zhu, I remember hearing people say that Mr. Zhang's study is very big, and there are all important things in it."

Zhu Yiyuan also woke up suddenly, and hurriedly took the big guy to the study.

At this moment, the Zhang family compound was completely in chaos, crying for their father and mother, fleeing in all directions, servants, rebels, Wang Qing's subordinates, Zhang family's maids and women, all mixed together.

Zhu Yiyuan didn't care about these, but let Liu Bao lead the way, and they arrived at the study smoothly.

At this moment, this huge study room has been robbed in a mess. Those valuable decorations, calligraphy and paintings on the wall have been swept away long ago. As long as books and so on are worthless, they have been thrown all over the place.

The family collection of a bachelor must be extremely precious and priceless.However, Zhu Yiyuan didn't have the energy to close it, he had to race against time and search around with Qi Ye and the others.

After walking around the room several times, Zhu Yiyuan passed under the desk, and suddenly felt an empty sound coming from the ground, he hurriedly called Qiye over, the big guy hurriedly opened the floor, and there was indeed a hidden compartment inside.

There were about two boxes of land deeds and two other boxes. After Zhu Yiyuan opened them, he found that they were all things like memorials left by the great scholar Zhang Zhi before the incident.

These are exactly what Zhu Yiyuan wanted.

He hurriedly asked a few people to help, carried the box out, and then went straight to the backyard of the Zhang family. They were lucky, and they even robbed two carriages, which was regarded as sending the things out.

For the time being, send it to Qingshi Ji's house and let my mother keep it.

After finishing all this, it was already daylight, they didn't get any decent property, and they were so tired that they were sweating through their clothes.But there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Master Zhu, why do you think I feel so light?" Liu Bao said with a smile.

Zhu Yiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the shackles are gone, the restraints are gone, and the stones on the body are gone, isn't it easy!"

These folks all nodded, rejoicing, only Tan Qiye frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "Young Master Zhu, can you really do it?"

Zhu Yiyuan was startled, then smiled and said: "It's just us, of course it can't. But if we unite as one, we can definitely do it!"

Tan Qiye was shocked, and finally nodded vigorously, "Mr. Zhu, if you have an idea, just lead the brothers to do it!"

The rest of the villagers also looked at Zhu Yiyuan, but Zhu Yiyuan didn't immediately agree, but said, "Let's see what Leader Xie is going to do."

While talking, they arrived at the front yard. At this moment, Xie Qian was already sitting on the grand master's chair that Master Zhang used to sit on.

"Come here, bring Zhang Quan here."

Soon someone pushed Zhang Quan over, and at the same time, someone brought over a plaque with three words "Bachelor's Degree" on it.

Xie Qian sneered and said: "Zhang Quan, open your dog eyes and take a good look. The Ming Dynasty treated your family well. The family of the great Shaobao University Scholars is a slave to the Tartars. Is there any heart?"

Zhang Quan's face was full of panic, and he could only reluctantly say: "This, this is all due to my father's fame. His old man has passed away. I, our descendants really have not received any favor..."

"fart!"

Xie Qian scolded angrily: "You pretend I don't know? When your father was a university scholar, he favored you to become a thousand households of Jinyiwei. When your father died, the court gave you another Shangbaosi Shaoqing. You took it!" Daming's salary for most of his life, but now you have to shave a pig's tail in a hurry, you are too shameless!"

Xie Qian stood up angrily, rushed in front of Zhang Quan, knocked off his hat with a wave, and grabbed the money mouse tail on his head.

Zhang Quan seemed to be a wild monster whose painted skin had been torn off, showing his ugliest face.

He was paralyzed, and if Xie Qian hadn't grabbed his braid, he would have fallen down.

At this moment, Xie Qian turned his head abruptly, glanced at Father Zhu, and said sharply: "Master Zhu, how do you think we should deal with this shameless person?"

Zhu's father was shocked, and hurriedly said: "It's time to kill!"

Xie Qian was very satisfied, and took another look at Zhu Yiyuan in the crowd, and said loudly, "Young Master Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu Yiyuan said: "The Zhang family worked as minions for tigers. Not only did they shave their hair, but they also acted as thugs of the Qing court, bullying fellow villagers, killing people, and taking the opportunity to accumulate land. They have committed numerous crimes and deserve to be killed!"

Xie Qian looked up and laughed loudly, then gnashed his teeth and said, "I, Xie Qian, set up an army to kill all the unfaithful and unrighteous animals. Come here and push everyone in the Zhang family up."

With this order, Zhang Quan's two younger brothers, as well as their son and grandson, a total of eight people, were all pushed up.

"cut!"

Following Xie Qian's order, the rebel army swung the ghost-headed knife, and the bloody heads rolled down... All the direct descendants of Zhang Zhifa, a scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty, were killed, and there was no one left.

"Come on, hang their heads outside for everyone to see."

The soldiers of the rebel army present were all cheered and encouraged, shouting that the kill was good and the kill was happy.

Thank you for your mighty leadership, thank you for your domineering leadership!
Zhu Yiyuan is also familiar with this world, and will not shudder just because he killed a few people.But Xie Qian wiped out the Zhang family.A university scholar has so many former students and old officials, and among them, there are probably many who surrendered to the Qing court.

The entire Shandong Shilin will also be shaken, and the title of Qilu's number one villain and giant bandit will probably fall on Xie Qian's head...
