My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 123 The money is squeezed out, the day they die

Hu Dadao and his subordinates couldn't help laughing wantonly when they saw those merchants and clans bringing over boxes of silver and gold, reaching out like madmen to grab handfuls of jewels.

The clan family who came to give the silver taels, heard their wanton laughter, dared not speak out, and blushed.

Originally, these people had heard the news that bandits were coming, and they had already started selling what they had.

But I didn't expect this group of thieves to come so fiercely and so fast, and I didn't expect Taixi County to even defend for a day.

At first, they didn't move the gang of thieves when they entered the city, and it made the clan members feel a little happy. They felt that these thieves wanted to rely on their families that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but who knew they were still a group of short-sighted thieves!He didn't know how to win them over!
"Brother, did we really release these people after collecting the money? These people should still have a lot of money, right?" The mansions they built cost more than 10 taels. This subordinate looked at the clans that left road.

Hu Dadao also couldn't stand the stimulation of these gold and silver treasures, his eyes were full of greed, "Huh? Just let them go for the time being, anyway, Taixi County has fallen into our hands, I will play with them slowly and spend a little money Just knock it out for me."

After hearing this, Hu Dadao's subordinates were a little worried, "What if the imperial court sends troops to attack us?" Don't just get the money and silver at that time, and their lives will be taken in. If they can really hold the imperial army, they will not be kicked out. Running around, there is still a reason why the internal response opened the door for being able to capture Taixi County this time.

Hu Dadao thought for a moment and said: "Then speed up and knock them 20 taels tomorrow. Even if the imperial court wants to send troops to encircle and suppress us, it will take two or three months. According to the virtues of those officials, at least the three of us should pay for it." It will be safe and worry-free within a month."

"Brother, the imperial court also has a lot of people in Taizhou Prefecture."

The implication is that they are worried that the people in Taizhou will send troops to encircle and suppress them.

After hearing this, Hu Dadao smiled contemptuously, "The group of people in Taizhou Prefecture dare not come out, I'm afraid they are already in danger." If he hadn't received that news, he would not have dared to take Taixi County so decisively.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Chang Yuan is going to attack Taizhou Mansion."

Hu Dadao's subordinates were horrified when they heard this, "What?! Is that the descendant of the old general Chang in the north? Chang Yuan, who has captured three cities in the north after just over two years since starting the army?"

Hu Dadao looked serious: "Yes, it is this person. When I attacked Taixi County earlier, I have received news that they will go to take Taizhou Mansion in a few days. At that time, the imperial court will destroy them again. In a short time Innerland, they should not care about us, and when they find that it is more difficult to fight over there and want to attack us, we will have already run away with money and food."

……

A residential building in Taixi County.

"Son, how is it outside?"

The county captain Wu, who was dressed as an ordinary farmer, pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mother, don't worry, we are fine here for the time being. As long as we persist, these thieves will retreat when the imperial court sends people to beat us, and we will be safe. "

His tone was relaxed, but he kept recalling in his mind what he saw on the top of the city, the head of the county magistrate hanging on the flagpole.

The county magistrate's most trusted confidantes, as well as General Chen, were planted on the flagpole next to him.

In the past few days, as long as they are officials in the county, they have all been killed by Hu Dadao to make an example to others.

Wuxian Lieutenant has been doing this for many years, not for nothing. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, he immediately changed his clothes and asked Steward Feng to put on his clothes and run out of the city. In an empty house.

The old lady Wu sighed and said nothing more. The food they ate in the past few days was searched from those houses where no one lived. As for the aborigines?He was killed by those thieves a long time ago. Fortunately, those people only cared about some gold, silver, treasures and women at that time, which gave him a chance to find a lot of food.

……

"Brother, come and see." Third Ning's eyes were full of fear.

Ning Changrong, who was walking behind him, heard the sound, and immediately rushed over from the nearby bushes. Today he led a group of people to go down the mountain to check the situation, and only then did he reach the foot of the mountain.

"This, is this Ning Dashan?" Ning Changrong felt his stomach churning.

The summer was so hot that this person's appearance was already blurred. If he hadn't been in the same village for a long time, he really wouldn't be able to recognize who he was.

Ning Daniu, who was heard behind, also quickly came up to check. He didn't change his face, and used the knife in his hand to turn over Ning Dashan's body from time to time to pick off some maggots.

Seeing this, Ning Changrong swallowed hard.

Brother Daniel is really ruthless!
After turning around for a long time, Ning Daniu stood up, "This is Ning Dashan's shriveled calf. There is a long scar on his back, he must have been hacked to death from behind. He is so poor, he has nothing on him."

For this man who abandoned his wife and children and ran away alone, even if they are from the same village, they are also ashamed of him.

Ning Husheng glanced at it and quickly turned his head away, "This is really eye-opening."

Ning Changrong sighed, and led the others to move forward.

He held a repeating hand crossbow in his hand, and a firecracker pinned to his waist. Ning Daniu also held a hand crossbow in his hand, which was given to him by Ning Changrong later, and it was also a repeating fire.

As for his original one, Ning Changrong made the decision and let him give it to Ning Husheng.

After walking a few more steps, many corpses were found one after another, all of which were hacked to death from behind, presumably by those thieves.

Some know it, and some don't.

When they reached Xiayuan Village, Ning Changrong and the others all stopped, staring blankly at the scene.

The Xiayuan Village, once harmonious and harmonious, with smoke from the kitchen, has become a purgatory on earth.

The pitch-black earthen house that was burned by the fire had rotted bodies, and even corpses with thick bones could be seen, and mosquitoes biting around the corpses.

Ning Changrong looked at it for a while, then closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look any more.

"Take all the scarves around your necks and cover your mouth and nose!"

Everyone had a piece of cloth around their necks, which Wang Xiujuan specially made for them when she learned that they were going down the mountain to check the news.So many people died, it was still summer, and no one dealt with it. If this one is not good, it will be infected with the plague.

They wrapped all their exposed skin loosely, leaving only a pair of eyes.

A few people started checking from house to house, and originally wanted to pick up some usable pots and pans to use. Looking at the current situation, who would dare to touch the things here?

The things that need to be imported are fine, but those knives still have to be looked for to see if there is anything that can be used.

The big deal is to go back and disinfect it with lime, otherwise they used the kitchen knife from Ning Changrong's family to cut down trees these days, and the big knife that Ning Dadao carried with him. The blades of these two knives have all been curled.
