When it was almost dark, the fleet came to Longtan Town. Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to grab a handful of it and leave, but he didn't expect that this place would be too fucking poor.

Longtan Town is a small town on the edge of the Yangtze River, with about a hundred families. They are all mainly fishermen and boaters on the Yangtze River. There are no middle-aged peasants in the entire town, let alone big landlords.

Zhu Hongsan asked Zhu Hongyi to go ashore to ask where there were big landlords. Zhu Hongyi returned and said that the nearest land was more than fifty miles away from here.

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "Fifty miles? Then why not go back to Nanjing and grab Qian Qianyi again."

When talking about Qian Qianyi and Zhu Hong's eyes turned, he remembered that Qian Qianyi's hometown is Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture. Anyway, he had to pass by Suzhou. Why would he go to the old Qian's house to grab it again? Is it better to have good things together?

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan ordered Zhu Hongyi to board the boat and go to Suzhou to talk about it.

The fleet stayed in Longtan for a night, replenished some fresh water and vegetables, and then set off the next day.

It is more than 700 miles from Nanjing to Suzhou, but it is still very fast by boat. From Dantu, he transfers into the canal, passes through Danyang, Wujin, and Wuxi counties, and enters the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture. Ten days after leaving Nanjing, he arrives at Suzhou Prefecture.

Suzhou Prefecture is worthy of being "there are paradises above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", with beautiful scenery. However, Zhu Hongsan has no intention of seeing the scenery. He decided to stay in Suzhou for a few days on the grounds that Zhu Moe was pregnant and could not bump.

Zhu Hongsan's decision was immediately approved by the three wives. Bian Yujing discovered that Zhu Mo was quiet and Yan Wan'er was straightforward in the past few days. The relationship between the three girls was getting deeper and deeper, and I was very happy to hear that Zhu Hongsan was going to stay in Suzhou for a few days.

Bian Yujing wanted to go to Suzhou City with his two sisters. Zhu Hongsan agreed and left fifty people to guard him. He also said that he wanted to go to Changshu to see the business of the Ma family's shop, and he would go there for a few days and let the three ladies have a slow trip.

The three ladies did not doubt that he had, so they got off the boat and went to play.

Seeing the three girls getting off the boat, Zhu Hongsan found Yan Qingshan and borrowed fifty people, gathered up another hundred people, and drove them to Changshu County with these hundred people.

Qian Qianyi's hometown is Xipu, Luyuan, Changshu County, 100 miles away from Suzhou Prefecture, and it is not far away. However, the Jiangnan River network is dense, Zhu Hongsan and others rented a few boats and followed the grain transport river between Changshu and Suzhou. They arrived in Changshu two days later.

Zhu Hongsan and others did not enter Changshu County, so they found a guide outside the city to ask where Qianjiazhuang was. Qian Qianyi was in Changshu and everyone in the locals knew where to live.

Zhu Hongsan and others rushed to Qianjiazhuang, Xipu, Luyuan, twenty miles outside the city overnight. It was dawn. Zhu Hongsan rested outside the village for half an hour and ordered Wang Jinbao to find out the situation.

Wang Jinbao will come soon and report: "Sir, there are no outsiders in Qianjiazhuang. Apart from Qian family, they are tenants. The village is very big, with about ten yards. There are fifty or sixty tenants outside the village. There are nothing else. The nearest inspection department is ten miles away."

Zhu Hongsan called the pirate's little leader, Hunjiang Long Ding Hai, and said, "Ding Hai, you take your people to look forward to the tenants outside the village, don't kill people, do you know?"

Ding Hai asked, "Son-in-law, can you rob money?"

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "What are we doing? Remember not to kill people. Hand over half of the money you robbed and keep half of it yourself."

Ding Hai was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you, my son-in-law, I will definitely not let anyone run away."

Zhu Hongsan said to Wang Jinbao: "In a while, you can bring twenty people in through the back door. Remember not to kill people. Tie all living people and concentrate them in the front yard."

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hongyi again: "Brother, let's go in from the front."

Zhu Hongyi and Wang Jinbao both nodded to show that they understood.

It’s not that Zhu Hongsan is a change in character. He knows that as long as he doesn’t die, Hongguang will protect him no matter how he makes trouble. The Ming Dynasty royal family is just like this, and Zhu Hongsan is still an honest person like this.

When Zhu Hongsan saw that the three of them understood, he said, "Okay, let's take everyone there."

Ding Hai took people to intercept tenants, Wang Jinbao took people to the back door, and Zhu Hongsan brought people to the front door.

The Qian family is worthy of being a prominent local family. This gate is more bold than a royal mansion, but no one is awkward to him in such a small place.

Zhu Hongsan came to the front door. It was just breakfast time and the door had not opened yet. There was only one slave who was sweeping the floor at the door.

Seeing so many people coming, the slave put down his broom and asked, "Who are you? Don't you know this is the Qian Mansion?"

Zhu Hongsanyi bowed and said, "We are from Nanjing and bring a letter from Mr. Qian and ask me to hand it over to my wife."

The slave looked at Zhu Hongsan in confusion. He knew that Qian Qianyi had a mansion in Nanjing and his family usually sent letters to him. Why did he change the person this time?

The slave asked, "Who are you? Look at him?"

Zhu Hongsan really didn't like to quit with him, so he waved at Zhu Hongyi. Zhu Hongyi stepped forward and punched the slave to the ground. Two people came up behind him to tie him up.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and pushed the side door, and found that it was just a cover-up. Zhu Hongsan turned around and said, "Everyone should go in, tie them up, try not to hurt anyone."

After saying that, the thirty guards rushed into the Qian Mansion and immediately became in chaos. There were ten guards in the Qian Mansion, but they were all having breakfast now. In addition, these guards were all from the world, and there were opponents of Zhu Hongsan Guards and even the outlaws. In a short while, the ten guards were beaten to the ground and tied up ropes.

The next step is simple. Zhu Hongyi arrested people in the front yard and Wang Jinbao arrested people in the back yard. For a moment, the sound of help and shouts came one after another.

Zhu Hongsan came to the lobby of the front yard, sat on the Grand Master's chair, waiting for the guards to catch people.

About two hours passed, and Zhu Hongyi came to report that he had all arrested him, and a total of 56 people were all in the yard. Zhu Hongsan was asked to go out and take a look.

When Zhu Hongsan came out, he saw a group of kneeling in the yard, and there were several women standing in front of him. Qian Qianyi's sons were in Nanjing and were not in his hometown in Changshu, so there was no male owner at home.

Zhu Hongsan saw an elderly woman in her sixties standing in front of him. Zhu Hongsan knew that it should be Lao Qian's original wife Chen, and two women in her forties next to him should be Lao Qian's two concubines Wang and Zhu.

There was a timid figure behind these three women, standing behind Chen. Zhu Hongsan went up and grabbed it and saw that it was a girl about sixteen years old. She looked similar to Chen, so she should be Lao Qian's daughter.

Chen asked, "Who are you? Don't you know this is the Qian Mansion? My master is the Minister of Rites."

Zhu Hongsan said: "Of course I know."

Chen said, "Do you know you dare to break in?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Young Master is the King of Chu. In order to marry Liu Rushi, your master Qian Qianyi borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from me. I am here to ask for the silver now."

When Chen heard this, he said angrily: "You are going to ask them for the money you borrowed from Qian Qianyi and that bitch. Why are you doing here?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Liu Rushi said that he would give you all the money."

Chen scolded, "This bitch. My family doesn't have 50,000 taels of silver. You can go to Nanjing to find Qian Qianyi."

Of course, Zhu Hongsan knew that Qian Qianyi had no money and that the mansion was burned to the point where there was any money left.

Zhu Hongsan said to Wang Jinbao: "Let me find a few families and ask them where the money in the Qian Mansion is hidden? Cut off a finger without telling the truth."

Wang Jinbao took people down to ask, and a sound of ghosts crying and howling from outside came.

Wang Jinbao came in and said, "Sir, their housekeeper said that there is a cellar in the bamboo forest in the yard of the Second Hall, and the silver is there."

Zhu Hongsan said, "Take twenty people and get the money out."

Wang Jinbao took people to get the money, and Zhu Hongsan sat in the hall and waited.

This time, in less than half an hour, Wang Jinbao brought people back with ten large boxes. Zhu Hongsan opened it and saw that each box was filled with silver ingots, all of which were snowflakes and silver. It seemed that a box of three thousand taels was found.

Ten boxes are 30,000 taels, and Zhu Hong’s three dots are almost the same, enough to return to Guangdong.

Zhu Hongsan came back and said to Chen, "It's less than 30,000 taels, and it's still half the distance. Is there no more?"

When Chen saw that Zhu Hongsan had found the silver, he was so angry that he was so angry that he sniffed, and said, "It's gone, you kill my old woman."

Zhu Hongsan looked at the girl behind him. She looked pretty pretty and had a baby face, and she was quite cute. She said, "Qian Qianyi said that the money was not enough to pay off his daughter's debt, so she would give it to me as the eleventh concubine."

When Chen heard this, his face turned pale and begged: "King, my daughter has been engaged and will be married in half a month. I will send money to Qian Qianyi and ask for it. Let me spare my daughter."

After hearing what Chen said, Zhu Hongsan couldn't let anyone go, and said, "Wang Jinbao, find a few horses and bring in the money. Let's go back."

Wang Jinbao agreed to go and find the horse.
