The next day, the official hall of hundreds of households in Wangjiazhuang.
On an Eight Immortals table, the heads of Mrs. Xu, Jia Jinglang, Liu Dayu, Liu Qunyi, and Shen Wenyun were lined up, staining the Eight Immortals table with blood, and the smell of blood was everywhere in the main hall.
Team officer Wang Wenzhen looked at the five heads with surprise and joy, and was speechless for a long time.
Jia Hongyu, the flag officer on the side, suddenly laughed and said: "General Liu Qi, you are so powerful that you uprooted the Xu family in one fell swoop!"
Jia Hongyu's laughter startled Wang Wenzhen, and he glared at Jia Hongyu with a slight dissatisfaction, and then said: "This battle is good, and one battle will eliminate future troubles! It's just that the beginning and the end are not easy to handle, at least Dai Baihu will definitely pursue it."
At this time, Liu Yan was sitting on the side with a smile, and the four flag officers Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming stood aside, like four statues, standing behind Liu Yan with their backs straightened.
"Master, don't worry. The Xu family is finished. What else can Dai Baihu do? Will he still fall out with the master over the death of his family?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Besides, when it comes to taking care of everything, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to do it!"
Wang Wenzhen sat down, nodded with a smile and said, "Well, that's the truth."
Then Wang Wenzhen said: "Then what should we do now? Should we immediately confiscate the Xu family's property?"
Liu Yan nodded and said, "What your lord is saying is that my subordinates thought that all the property of the Xu family would be confiscated on the grounds that the Xu family colluded with bandits to attack Huangshan Dun, Fenghuoshan Dun, and Shagou Dun. If the heads of all the people are hung out for public display, it will be considered as an explanation to the Qianhu Station in front of Xiahe Village. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
Wang Wenzhen nodded in agreement, but felt a little chilled in his heart: This Liu Yan was obviously just a flag officer, but he was so sophisticated in how he handled things, he was clearly an old fox in the officialdom!
"Fortunately, Liu Yan is my subordinate and is so close to me..."
Then Wang Wenzhen said: "Okay! Just follow what Mr. Liu Qi said. It seems that Mr. Liu will be solely responsible for the specific matters, and Mr. Jia will be responsible for assisting. As for me, I will concentrate on Let’s cook at Qianhu Station in front of Xiahe Village.”
Liu Yan stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I accept your orders."
Liu Yan then complained to Wang Wenzhen, and then said to Wang Bo, Wang Yue, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming: "Little flag officers Wang Bo and Wang Yue, you two will lead your troops to join General Jia Banner. , Immediately seal up the Xu family's residence, as well as the properties and shops inside and outside Wangjiazhuang, count all the Xu family's property, contracts, grain, livestock, etc., register them and seal them up for later use!"
"yes!"
"Small flag officers Xu Ming and Miao Shao, you two will lead your troops to inspect all the cultivated land belonging to the Xu family around Wangjiazhuang, mark them one by one on the map, and wait for disposal."
"yes!"
After the deployment was completed, Liu Yan said to Wang Wenzhen with a smile: "Master, please tell me, is it okay for my subordinates to deploy like this?"
"Haha, okay, that's it."
"Sir, there is one more thing. I think that in order to silence the superiors of Xiahe Village, I should give them an explanation."
"What explanation?"
Liu Yan said: "Since the Xu family's crime is colluding with bandits, it means that there are bandits making trouble in Wangjiazhuang. Your Excellency should gather people and start suppressing the bandits!"
"Suppressing bandits?"
Wang Wenzhen and Jia Hongyu looked at each other, and then said: "This, this is just for show, is there any need to gather people?"
Liu Yan has always been good at hunting rabbits, and this time he checked the Xu family's property to prepare for his next development.
What is Liu Yan going to do next? Of course, we should continue to train troops, and to train troops in battle, the best way is to suppress bandits. This can not only ensure that the intensity of the battle is not too high, but also prevent excessive casualties of the Dun army under your command, and can also seize the money, food and other materials of those bandits, so as to Replenish the inventory of Dapanbao.
So Liu Yan said: "I think it's better to take action. If you feel embarrassed, I can lead my troops to participate. It's just a training exercise for soldiers and horses."
Wang Wenzhen nodded and said: "Well, I know about this. After the Xu family's affairs are over in two days, I will order to summon people from all the forts and Huolu Dun to prepare for the attack in Wangjiazhuang. Suppress bandits."
Then Wang Bo, Wang Yue, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Jia Hongyu each led their troops and set off at the same time, rushing towards all the Xu family's properties in Wangjiazhuang and the Xu family's cultivated land around Wangjiazhuang.
In the courtyard of the Xu family house, the junior flag officer Wang Yue and the chief flag officer Jia Hongyu stood in the front yard, watching the coming and going of more than thirty Dunjun troops from Dapanbao, and more than twenty servants of Wang Wenzhen's men who were also moving together. Everyone continued to carry out boxes of money, bags of food, and various belongings, and moved them all to the open space in the front yard and placed them uniformly.
At the same time, there were six scribes from the Hundred Household Office sitting in a row, registering the seized property one by one.
"Haha, Mr. Jia, let's go over there and have a look?"
Jia Hongyu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Wang Yue accompanied Jia Hongyu towards the backyard, and then when Jia Hongyu wasn't paying attention, he wanted to wink at one of his captains, but the captain shook his head helplessly, and Wang Yue was discouraged.
At this time, there were not only the Dunjun from Dapanbao, but also many servants from the official hall of hundreds of households inside and outside the courtyard. Wang Yue wanted to intercept some of the property so that he could claim credit from Liu Yan after returning to Dapanbao, but he could not do this now. After all, there are so many people from hundreds of government offices watching, so it's better not to cause trouble at this time.
Wang Yue and Jia Hongyu looked around and saw that the Xu family's old house was very well decorated everywhere. It was second to none in Wangjiazhuang. Jia Hongyu also showed a smile on his face: "Oh! Such a good house is really rare. ah."
Wang Yue said with a smile: "What Mr. Jia said is true. Let alone Wangjiazhuang, this Xu family residence is a rare luxury even if it is placed in front of Xiahe Village."
"hehe,"
Jia Hongyu said with a smile: "I don't know how Wang Xiaoqi's progress is going. The Xu family still has several properties and shops in Wangjiazhuang."
At this time, Wang Bo had already led his troops to seize the Xu family's stores in Wangjiazhuang. In addition to the two burnt oil mills and a grain store, the Xu family also had three grocery stores and a warehouse, and their business was very good.
Wang Yue said: "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, Wang Xiaoqi is reliable and there will be no problem."
While they were talking, a commander of the Dapanbaodun Army came to report: "To report to General Jia and Wang Xiaoqi, the property of the Xu family's old residence has been inventoried. Please take a look at it."
Then the two returned to the front yard and saw that the six scribes had already checked the accounts, and one of them handed a thick account book to Jia Hongyu.
"Come on, come on, Wang Xiaoqi, let's take a look together."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
While Wang Yue said he didn't dare, he came over and started watching with Jia Hongyu.
The account said: "... Twenty-nine thousand, seven hundred and sixty-six taels of silver and twenty-eight gold ingots were seized from the Xu family residence, each with more than ten taels. There were also seven boxes of pearls, emeralds, and jade, equivalent to More than 7,000 taels of silver..., 8,200 shi of rice, flour, corn and other grains were seized, as well as 29 cattle, 35 sheep, and 18 horses..."
After reading it, both Jia Hongyu and Wang Yue had surprises on their faces. The Xu family is too rich. They have made a fortune now!
"Haha, Wang Xiaoqi, look, let's go back and report to the team leader right now, how about that?"
After saying that, Jia Hongyu realized something was wrong and added: "Mr. Liu is also waiting for news in the Baihu Government Office. Let's go back quickly."
Wang Yue naturally had no objection.
The two then sealed all their belongings on the spot and put a seal on each box. Wang Yue and Jia Hongyu left all their men and horses to guard them, and at the same time sealed off the entire Xu family residence.
After the deployment was completed, Jia Hongyu and Wang Yue rushed back to Baihu Guanting together.
When the two came to the main hall, they saw that the flag officers Wang Bo, Xu Ming, and Miao Shao had already rushed back first.
Needless to say, Wang Bo's property was not too far away and he completed the task quickly.
The Xu Ming and Miao Shao banners were not slow in their movements. The Xu family's cultivated land was all good land near Wangjiazhuang. Each area was a large tract of cultivated land, which was very convenient to count.
In addition, the soldiers who did not collect the flag at night all had war horses, so the soldiers of Xu Ming and Miao Shao were not only very fast, but they were also the first to come back to report the news.
Seeing Jia Hongyu and Wang Yue arriving, Liu Yan smiled and said to Wang Wenzhen: "Haha, it seems that everything has been done. What do you think, sir? Should we talk while eating, or should we talk first and then eat?"
Wang Wenzhen seemed drunk at this time. Looking at the faces of everyone, he knew that the harvest this time must be very big, so he said loudly: "I think it's better to talk first. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet over there. Let's After we get down to business, let’s stay drunk together tonight!”
Liu Yan clapped his hands and applauded, so he ordered everyone to take turns talking.
Flag officer Wang Bo was the first to report: "...the Xu family has four stores in Wangjiazhuang: three grocery stores and one warehouse. Now the clerks and shopkeepers of these four stores have all been controlled. They will be released after screening and there are no problems. . The goods in the other four stores have also been counted one by one, and the subordinates have registered them. Please ask the team leader and the commander to take a look."
Then the flag officers Xu Ming and Miao Shao looked at each other, and then Xu Ming stood up and said: "I would like to report to the leader of the team, the commander of the armor, that the Xu family has more than 2,700 acres of cultivated land outside Wangjiazhuang. The number of land deeds received has been verified correctly, and I have marked them one by one on the map, please take a look at them."
Finally, Jia Hongyu stood up and reported the results of the search of the Xu family's old residence.
After everyone finished speaking, Wang Wenzhen looked at Liu Yan excitedly. Although Liu Yan was only his subordinate, Liu Yan now had more than two hundred elite troops who were as good as his servants. The size and wealth of Dapanbao were almost the same. Having surpassed Wangjiazhuang, it can be said that Liu Yan's power is already more powerful than that of his own team leader.
Therefore, before Wang Wenzhen made a decision on this carve-up plan, he still had to consult Liu Yan for his opinion.
"Haha, now that the overall situation has been decided, in Mr. Liu's opinion, what should be done with these seizures?"
Liu Yan said: "Your Majesty, you must be aware that this time you have to deal with the Shangguan officials from the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village. Therefore, I believe that all the money, houses, and shops of the Xu family should be distributed to you, so that you can manage them from top to bottom." use."
Wang Wenzhen suddenly beamed with joy, and Jia Hongyu on the side was breathing rapidly. He never expected that these money and real estate were equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Liu Yan gave up directly!
"OK!"
Wang Wenzhen said excitedly: "In this way, all the grain and livestock will be disposed of by Mr. Liu. In addition, Dapanbao is Tunbao, and more than 2,000 acres of cultivated land outside Wangjiazhuang are also allocated to Dapanbao. Mr. Liu is responsible for the distribution, so this is half for each of us. I wonder what Mr. Liu wants?"
Liu Yan clasped his fists and accepted the order, and then said: "There is one more matter for your Majesty to decide."
"Mr. Liu, tell me."
"This time, some of our Dunjun soldiers in Dapanbao were killed or wounded in battle. I am sure that you will use some money from the captured soldiers to provide pensions to these soldiers."
Wang Wenzhen said seriously: "These soldiers were killed and injured in order to exterminate the bandits. I will definitely not sit idly by. General Liu Qi will submit a list of names as soon as possible, and also write down the amount of the pension. I will definitely report it as soon as possible." Pay out the pension."
"Then I'll thank you, sir!"
