When everyone returned to Qingfeng Village, Chen Haoyuan ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes, and then celebrated the victory with everyone.
Qingfengzhai brought back a lot of treasures from Zhang Caizhu's house this time. The money alone was more than three thousand taels. At the wine table, Chen Haoyuan ordered someone to take out some money and distribute it to everyone according to their work. He also owed Li the money before. Yong's thousand taels of silver were returned to Li Yong.
A few days later, Chen Haoyuan asked Fang Qi to bring some of the goods collected in Zhang's Mansion to Wujiabao in exchange for some money. The remaining antique calligraphy and paintings were no longer needed, so Chen Haoyuan temporarily stored them.
Guo Huaiyi was quite interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings. After all, he was a scholar and loved these things. Chen Haoyuan asked him to pick out a few of his favorites.
Then, Chen Haoyuan asked Fang Qi to go to the county town down the mountain to buy hundreds of horses. Now the cavalry team in Qingfeng Village expanded to 200 people.
Qingfeng Village has gained a reputation this time. Next, Chen Haoyuan asked everyone to continue in the same way. However, Chen Haoyuan felt that he should be lenient to those landlords and wealthy people who were usually friendly to the people.
In the following time, the people of Qingfeng Village began to hunt down local tyrants, and the nearby people were given a lot of food. Some people simply joined Qingfeng Village directly, and the number of people in Qingfeng Village was also increasing.
After Qingfeng Village's crackdown on local tyrants continued for a period of time, the nearby landowners and wealthy people have reduced their wealth a lot, and now they no longer dare to bully the common people. However, in this way, there will be fewer and fewer local tyrants and evil gentry that Qingfeng Village can fight against in the future.
But at least this can prove that the people nearby are no longer bullied, and Qingfeng Village can't always rely on beating up the local tyrants.
After a year of development, Qingfeng Village has now grown to five to six thousand people, and the cavalry has also grown to 400 people. Many nearby villagers have joined Qingfeng Village.
When Qingfeng Village was fighting against the landlord bullies, they collected a lot of goods. Chen Haoyuan asked Fang Qi to take the goods to Wujiapu and sell them in exchange for some money. So Fang Qi took these goods to Wujiapu and arrived at Wujiapu. After the fort, there are special people in Wujiapu who value these goods.
At this time, a new guy from Wujiapu recognized Fang Qi after seeing him. The guy's name was Zhao Erbao, who had just arrived in Wujiapu not long ago. Zhao Erbao had been in Liu Jinrong's rebel team before and was an ordinary soldier. After the rebels failed, Zhao Erbao escaped by chance.
After Zhao Erbao escaped, he found several jobs to make a living, but he resigned after not working for long. Zhao Erbao used to be an ignorant and lazy person, and later he joined the rebels just to make a living.
Without a job, Zhao Erbao's life was very difficult. Zhao Erbao thought about robbing houses but couldn't find anyone to join the gang. He couldn't do the job of robbing houses on his own. In the end, Zhao Erbao had no choice but to come to the nearby Wujiabao and work as a boy.
The high-ranking rebels have basically been executed by the court. Only Li Yong, the general of the rebel Xinzhenbei, has not been caught. The court has offered a reward of one thousand taels of silver for Li Yong's arrest, and arrest warrants are still posted everywhere.
Zhao Erbao had met Fang Qi and knew that he was a close confidant of Li Yong. Zhao Erbao felt that Fang Qi should be with Li Yong. Even if they were not together, he should know where Li Yong was now. Zhao Erbao was very tempted by the reward offered by the court. One thousand taels of silver was enough for him to eat and drink for several lifetimes. Finally, Zhao Erbao decided to report the matter to the Lord of Wubao.
Wu Zhongqi, the master of Wujiabao, took it very seriously after learning that he had disappeared. Wu Zhongqi did not do it for the reward of one thousand taels. To say that Qian Wu Zhongqi now has a family fortune of one hundred thousand yuan, Wu Zhongqi mainly did it for merit. .
As long as he can help the court catch the criminal, it goes without saying that he will take credit, and then it shouldn't be a problem to let his family member in the court put in a few good words for him in front of the emperor and get his son an official position.
Lord Wubao called the martial arts master from Wujiabao and his two sons to discuss countermeasures. The martial artist from Wujiabao was named Wang Dehai. Wang Dehai was also the master of Lord Wubao’s two sons. Lord Wubao’s two sons were separated. They are called Wujin and Wushan.
The person who helped Fang Qi and the others in the valuation was Zhou Jian, the housekeeper of Wujiabao. After the housekeeper Zhou Jian finished the valuation, he asked Fang Qi if he was willing to sell it. Of course, Fang Qi was willing. The goods he grabbed could still be sold without selling them to Wujiapu. To whom? Since Fang Qi is willing to sell the housekeeper Zhou Jian, he will let the accountant settle the accounts for him.
After Fang Qi settled the account and was about to leave, a group of people suddenly came and surrounded Fang Qi and the others. This group of people was two hundred bankers from Wujiabao, and the leaders were two of the masters of Wubao. As a son, Fang Qi immediately led his men to break out when he saw something was wrong, and the two sides soon fought together.
There were about fifty people coming out with Fang Qi this time, but there were 200 people on the Wujiapu side, four times as many as Fang Qi and the others. It can be seen that Wujiapu was determined to keep Fang Qi and the others this time. Fang Qi led everyone to break out of the encirclement with difficulty, but there were too many people on the other side and it was not easy to break out.
The people of Qingfeng Village were caught off guard by the people of Wujiabao. In the end, Fang Qi broke out of the encirclement only after his men desperately resisted. When Wu Jin saw Fang Qi breaking out of the encirclement, he quickly asked Wei Tao, the sharp archer of Wujiabao, to release the arrow.
Wu Shan also reminded him that "the Lord of the Fort has promised to capture those alive." Wei Tao, the sharp archer, aimed an arrow at Fang Qi who was running away. Since the Lord of Wu Fort had promised to capture those alive, Wei Tao also Don't dare to make a fatal move.
After being hit by an arrow, Fang Qi was so painful that he almost fell off his horse. Fang Qi endured the severe pain and hugged the horse's neck with both hands to prevent himself from falling off the horse. Fang Qi knew that he could not die now and had to return to Qingfeng Village. After reporting the news, Fang Qi couldn't hold on any longer when he was approaching Qingfeng Village. Fang Qi bit the horse's reins with his mouth to prevent him from falling off.
Seeing Fang Qi running away, Wubao Lord stomped his feet angrily. The people in Wujiabao did not expect that the people in Qingfeng Village could be so desperate. Wushan also scolded Wei Tao, the sharp archer, for being useless. Wei Tao was feeling bitter in his heart and could not express it. , Wei Tao thought to himself, brother, you just told him not to kill him, otherwise Wei Tao's arrow skills would have killed him on the spot.
Fang Qi finally persisted and reached Qingfeng Village. The guards of Qingfeng Village hurriedly opened the gate of the village when they saw Fang Qi coming back. Fang Qi couldn't hold on and fell off his horse before he reached the gate. The guard saw Fang Qi fell off his horse and ran away. Go and report to the village leader Chen Haoyuan.
After Chen Haoyuan learned the news, he quickly went to visit Fang Qi. When Chen Haoyuan saw Fang Qi, Fang Qi was already lying unconscious on the bed. Guo Huaiyi was treating Fang Qi's injuries, and saw Guo Huaiyi pulling out the arrow from Fang Qi's body. He came down, and then started to stop the bleeding from the wound. After doing all this, Guo Huaiyi bandaged Fang Qi's wound.
Chen Haoyuan asked Guo Huaiyi how Fang Qi's injury was. Guo Huaiyi said that Fang Qi's injury was not serious and the blood flowed a lot, but fortunately the arrow did not hit the vital point, otherwise it would be difficult for the gods to save him. Fang Qi's life is not affected for the time being and he needs to rest for a while. Everyone felt relieved knowing that Fang Qi was fine.
After three days, Fang Qi finally woke up. After everyone learned the news, they hurried to visit. After Fang Qi woke up, Chen Haoyuan asked him what happened. This is what everyone wanted to know most these days. Fang Qi told him what happened. After telling Chen Haoyuan and the others, Fang didn't know much about why the people from Wujiabao suddenly attacked his side.
Of the 50 people who went to Wujiapu this time, only Fang Qi came back alive. The others all died in Wujiapu. Moreover, Fang Qi was still seriously injured. The people in Qingfeng Village were very angry and shouted for help. Revenge, Chen Haoyuan also felt that this revenge must be avenged.
