Nie Chen smiled when he heard this and said leisurely,
"Someone took advantage of the situation and robbed her faster than we could. No need to ask, Liu Jia must have arranged for someone to do it. She must have run far away and you can't find her."
Weng Qiuchan frowned and said,
"No way? Liu Jia doesn't know that we are coming to fight in the county. How can we make arrangements in advance?"
"This woman is very smart and has no plans left. She must have guessed in advance that I would take this opportunity to take revenge on the Liu family."
"Then why did she kill her own relatives? Is she so cruel?"
"She is so vicious, Qiu Chan. Whatever Liu Jia does is not surprising. She is an extremely smart and inhumane woman. Unless she dies, we will always have a terrible opponent. , must not be taken lightly.”
Nie Chen smiled, waved his hand and said,
"Let's go and see how the county government and the Liu family are doing with their looting."
They came to the wide area outside the county government office. There were many vehicles here, piled with food, gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. Not to mention that the bandits did not know the goods, they could tell what was valuable and what was not valuable at a glance. figure it out.
Lin Guangma and Niubi looked at these supplies with a smile and discussed loudly,
"Good guy, this much money, at least several hundred thousand taels, we will make a fortune now."
"There is still enough food to feed the village for several months."
"What can't you buy with money? Are you still worried about not having food? My old man is planning to buy two women and take them back."
"Do you still need to buy them? Look at the women collected here, there are two to three hundred of them, not enough for an old boy like you?"
"Hahahaha, let the first master and the second master use it first, and I will lean back."
…
The headmaster and Nie Chen looked at them with black lines on their heads, they were really ashamed to be in their company.
Lin Guang was such a good person before, but since he met Ma Niubi, his gangster nature has become more and more serious.
"Dad, what to do with these women?"
Weng Qiuchan pointed to the crowd over there and said.
There are men and women there, the men are servants and the women are concubines and maids.
"Let them all go home."
The boss said.
"Did you hear that? You're free. Let's all go home."
Weng Qiuchan shouted loudly, but none of the hundreds of men and women moved.
"You don't have to be afraid. We really won't kill you. Anyone who has family members can go home."
Hearing this, several women said boldly,
"Miss, we are all women who were bought. Some of our families were killed and robbed. Some were sold by our families. We have become slaves. Some are homeless. Some are homeless. Even if they return home, they will be sold again."
"Yes, Miss, we are all tired of being sold back and forth. If we are sold again, it will only be served by another person, but we are still precarious. We may be tortured to some extent."
"Miss, please be kind and don't drive us away. You in Qingfeng Village are all heroes who uphold justice for heaven. You shouldn't hurt us. Please take us in."
"You are different from other bandits. If other women are kidnapped by bandits, they will definitely die. However, Qingfeng Village has not robbed anyone once in these years. We know that you are good people."
"Miss, we don't just live for free. We know how to work, serve people, and be female workers. Even if we are sewing and mending, we can be female workers."
"Yes, please don't drive us away."
The women knelt down one by one, begging the bandits to take them away, which was the first of its kind in history.
Weng Qiuchan hesitated and then said,
"Well, now that the cottage has been expanded and there is a place to live, you can go back with me and do whatever you can, such as sewing clothes for the soldiers."
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."
The women kowtowed hurriedly.
"I won't force anyone who doesn't want to go. Anyone who was robbed and whose relatives are still there should come forward and I will send someone to take you home."
Only twenty or thirty women stood up and expressed their willingness to go home. Most of the others wanted to go to Qingfeng Village.
Among those men, the attitude of Qingfeng Village is that they can stay or leave voluntarily. Those who want to go up the mountain go up the mountain, and those who want to go home go home.
Don't force others. After all, those who don't want to go up the mountain will find a way to escape even if they are caught by force. Qingfeng Village does not have the extra manpower to guard them all day long.
Nie Chen also recruited some blacksmiths, carpenters, shopkeepers, and accountants. In the past, not many people in Qingfeng Village were literate, so Nie Chen would do all the accounting by himself. In the future, as the business grows, professional talents will be needed. .
By this time, it was getting dark, so the headmaster ordered everyone to go back to the mountain.
On this day, they first attacked the officers and soldiers, and then went down the mountain to sweep the county government. It can be said that they were busy and hit the back of the head.
But the harvest was also huge. Countless amounts of money and food were plundered, and there were even some special talents who made a lot of money.
Nie Chen is also high-spirited. He has avenged his great revenge and gained a lot of people's support. His life will become more and more prosperous in the future.
This time, Nie Chen tasted the sweetness of plundering the county government and large households. He was wondering whether he should imitate the heroes of Liangshan, who robbed state capitals from time to time, and then used the money and food they robbed to recruit troops and horses to expand himself.
When you have many generals, talented people, and an army of 100,000, you will almost be qualified to play at the card table, right?
When the people from Qingfeng Village came, there were more than 200 people on horseback, and they quickly reached the county capital. But when they left, it was different. There were many vehicles, and the number of people increased by 700 to 800, including more than 300 Women, more than 300 servants and servants, and some people who voluntarily followed Qingfeng Village up the mountain.
Nie Chen rode his horse and came to Weng Qiuchan and whispered,
"Well, now that there are women, you can choose a few smart ones to serve you. The eldest lady should look like a eldest lady. After all, we are all ladies. How can we do it without someone to serve you."
"I haven't had anyone to take care of me for so many years, so why don't you come here?"
"What's the difference? You used to be like a tomboy. From now on, I will buy you nice clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and rouge and gouache. You will be responsible for your beauty, and I will make money to support the family."
Weng Qiuchan pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and said,
"You're being served, aren't you afraid of being discovered when you sneak into my room in the middle of the night?"
"I won't slip away."
"Tch, can you bear it?"
"I entered openly."
"Go to hell, I don't know what your plan is? Are you just thinking about those women? Are you planning to come to my place and want them to serve you together?"
"What are you talking about? These women will be of great use if I keep them. I have an idea..."
