Chapter 23: Booty

Zhao Yong took a family member and rushed directly to the Qianshan Village Gate. The defeated Gao family members in front were driven away by Zhao Yong as if they were chased by ducks.

Some people saw Zhao Yong heading straight to the gate of the village and immediately fled from both sides. As expected, they avoided Zhao Yong's military attack for the time being, but the problem is that if you want to escape, you have to go to the gate of the village!

Some people ran towards the village gate. Zhao Yong ignored the queue and chased them all the way. A group of people were about to open the village gate and fled, but Zhao Yong hurriedly shouted: "Kill!"

The group of people was shocked. The gate of the village was very heavy, but it was not so easy to open it. Seeing that it could not leave, if you resist, you would be killed. Several people were shocked and knelt down and shouted: "Goodbye, please..."

At least there is still a glimmer of hope for mercy!

Zhao Yong rushed forward, and a burst of guns knocked the Gao family members who were determined to escape to the ground. Although the team was a little messy, no one attacked those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The regulations stipulate that it is prohibited to commit suicide prisoners without any violation, but those who have to eat military sticks. Zhao Yong asked someone to deal with the prisoners and then set up a formation in front of the village gate to guard them.

There was a burst of crying in the village. Lin Yi led his people to chase people everywhere in the village, rushed into the house like a wolf and a tiger, capturing the Gao family members.

Since entering the village, the Gao family members began to organize a resistance, and then became in chaos and had no intention of fighting.

Some of the people who wanted to resist were stabbed to death by guns, and the rest were taken out. Lin Yi was not in a hurry and took his people to sweep slowly. Anyway, the village gates were blocked, and these people had no place to run away.

Zhao Yan led the army to supervise the army, and the servants behind him kept advocating military laws and warned other servants not to test the law with their own hands. There are four military laws in the Zhao family army. If they fail to fight, they will be killed. If they are not killed, they will be killed. If they are not killed, they will be killed. If they are killed, they will be killed. If they are killed, they will be killed. If they are killed, they will be killed.

Discipline is an important part of the combat effectiveness of an army. Once military laws are established, they must be implemented. It is important to know that military laws are as good as mountains and cannot be broken.

The Gao family members in the village ran around like flies, and Lin Yi didn't care about them. It was so dark that it was easy to get accidents, so I should clean up the people in the house first.

One by one, the Gao family members were taken out of their houses and concentrated in the open space of the village. Soon Lin Yi led his people to surround the most luxurious house.

The room was exactly what Gao Xunqi lived in.

With a 'bang', the door suddenly opened, and a drunk middle-aged man rushed out of the door with his sword. This man was Gao Xunqi who was angry and wanted to kill someone.

As soon as Gao Xunqi rushed out of the house, he was immediately surrounded by a group of servants, and the spearhead was pointed at him brightly. Gao Xunqi was shocked, and he woke up halfway through his drunkenness and immediately collapsed on the ground.

With a clang, the sword fell directly on the stone steps. Seeing that the man did not resist, he was directly arrested.

Zhao Yan took advantage of the night attack, and the Gao family could not organize effective resistance in time. The Gao family was just a group of mobs, rushing into the gun array in a mess was just seeking death.

Half an hour later, Gaojiazhai finally became quiet.

The old and young people in Gaojia Village were gathered in the open space. They looked at the Zhao family's servants in horror. However, although the Zhao family was fierce, they did not do anything out of the ordinary. At least the female family was not defiled.

After sweeping away the enemies in the village, Zhao Yan and his men began to search the property of the Gao family.

The most exciting thing in this world is to search homes, and money comes faster. Wanli loves to search homes, and those so-called "rebel army" bandits also love to search homes.

With Gao Xunqi's face pale, the gold and silver he hid in the cellar were searched, as well as several antique calligraphy and paintings...

...

As the sky gradually dawned, the Gao family finally copied it. The most influential one was Gao Xunqi. His family was originally a landlord, and the other Gao family members were their tenants. In addition, he was a juren. He paid taxes by other self-cultivated farmers in the clan.

Paying the office is a tax evasion method. Because juren belongs to the tax-free privileged class, once literati pass the imperial examination, they will always have financial income.

Those farmers who want to evade taxes will deposit their land in the name of Juren, and Juren will collect a certain amount of money, so the share of this money will naturally be smaller than that of the government.

This kind of behavior is called a trick. Usually, the signing of a contract is a free contract. If the government wants to pursue the matter, it will inevitably be filed with a lawsuit, and it will usually end up in vain. It is purely an act of poaching the country's corners.

In addition to providing for self-cultivated farmers, Gao Xunqi usually relied on the armed forces of the clan to occupy the land and led his soldiers to rob the houses everywhere.

"Young master, you have counted it all. This guy has a rich family background. In addition to three hundred taels of gold and more than five thousand taels of silver, he also stocked up 3,000 stones of grain, and there was a lot of land deeds. He had no time to count it." Wang Wenyue, who was in charge of counting, shook his hand with a pile of land deeds and said happily.

Among Zhao Yong, Lin Yi and Wang Wenyue, Wang Wenyue was the worst, but he had been studying for a few years and knew some strategies, so he was designated as one of the sergeants by Zhao Yan. This time, he was a group of rough men who could not read big words and did not bring the documents. The inventory work could only be carried out by Wang Wenyue.

About eight thousand taels of silver, and such a thick stack of land deeds! Zhao Yan couldn't help but be slightly surprised that the landlord's family was indeed rich in their family.

These are all war bonuses! It's just a deal with a landlord, if it expands the scale...

Zhao Yan couldn't help but conclude that fighting can make a fortune.

"Have you found that batch of oxen?" Zhao Yan asked.

"I found it, they are all in the bullpen." Wang Wenyue said, and then asked, "Young Master, how do those Gao family members deal with it?"

"I'm still punishing the evil people, let's let all the villagers go!" Zhao Yan said. His day at this era was not too short, and he still had some understanding of these clans.

Most of these clans are tenant farmers. They farm land for the landlords in the clan. It is no different from the ordinary people. They are all suffering. Although the Gao family has done too much, it will be over if they take their anger on these common people.

Killing them all is too much, and it is difficult to manage when you catch them back, so you can let them go.

"Uh... Young Master, we just found all their property..." Wang Wenyue said in surprise. He was too excited to search the house just now and swept it from house to house.

"I'll go back later." Zhao Yan said without caring. What's the pain? Even if you don't lack that much money, you won't be that short of money.

After giving these instructions, Zhao Yan immediately asked someone to make rice and camp for a rest. After a night of hard work, everyone felt exhausted.

Zhao Yan went to appease the Gao family's tribes. Although he wanted to release them, he had to put them under his own management.

——

Haha! Five o'clock is considered early morning! The side dishes didn't let everyone go...
