After sending out two teams of manpower, Marin was left with less than one team of manpower.
Although there were not many people, it was barely enough, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before people outside the village got the news and would come over.
Yuan Kui on the side said with a smile on his face: "Brother Ma, Guo Juren has also been caught. Can we let brother go?"
As he spoke, he rubbed the palms of his hands back and forth.
Marin glanced at him and said in a calm tone: "Just wait, I don't care when you leave. You can't leave until the captain agrees."
"Master Cao is right outside Zhuangzi. How about I go meet Master Cao outside Zhuangzi?" Yuan Kui asked cautiously.
Ma Lin put on a smile and said: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, the Guo family has been captured. I believe Captain Cao will come to the Guo family soon, and brother Wang Yuan will also be brought with him. If you have any questions then, can you Talk to Captain Cao directly."
Yuan Kui thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll wait until Cao Da is in charge."
Marin nodded.
At this time, a group of soldiers came from the back door of Guo's house and came to Marin.
The leader said: "Deputy Captain, our captain caught a guy at the back door. He said he was the Guo family's housekeeper. Our captain asked his subordinates to bring him over to the deputy captain."
"The butler of the Guo family!" Ma Lin read it again, then looked at Yuan Kui and said, "He is the butler of the Guo family?"
Yuan Kui looked at the captured middle-aged man, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, he is the housekeeper next to Guo Juren."
Butler Guo said with a flattering smile: "I've met the good man, Brother Yuan is here too!"
First he said hello to Ma Lin, and then he said hello to Yuan Kui.
Ma Lin looked at Butler Guo in front of him and ridiculed: "You escaped very quickly. Your master is still in the backyard, but you almost escaped."
Butler Guo was speechless and said nothing.
After leaving Guo Juren behind, he successfully escaped to the back door of the backyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the back door, he was caught by the bandits waiting outside.
Several servants and maids of the Guo family were also arrested like him. They all heard the news about the bandits entering the Guo family and wanted to escape through the backyard door, but they didn't expect that the back door was also guarded by bandits.
After being caught, he regretted it endlessly. If he knew that there were bandits guarding the back door, he would rather go into trouble and escape through the courtyard wall with a ladder than take the back door.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. I just hope that the bandits who broke into Guo's house can save his life. Fortunately, although he is a housekeeper, he is just a servant after all, so his chances of survival should be greater.
Marin looked at Butler Guo in front of him and said to the soldiers beside him: "Lock him up first and wait for the captain to deal with him."
"yes."
Two soldiers came over and took Butler Guo down.
After walking a few steps, Butler Guo turned his head and shouted loudly: "Good man, I can find the place where the Guo family's money is hidden. I just ask that good man spare my life."
Marin waved his hand at the two soldiers, indicating that they should be escorted away.
Not long after Guo Guanjia was taken away, a large group of people came to Guojiazhuang, at least hundreds of people.
The number of people who came to the Guo family from Daliang Mountain suddenly became abundant. The servants of the Guo family were taken out of the house one by one and were detained in a courtyard of the Guo family.
The towering walls of the Guo family block the threats from outside and also block many people from the opportunity to escape from the Guo family.
The front and rear doors were blocked, making it difficult for the Guo family to escape.
Cao Guang came to Ma Lin and said, "Have you encountered any trouble?"
Ma Lin said in a relaxed tone: "After our people entered the Guo family, they encountered no resistance at all. With Yuan Kui as an internal agent, the thugs raised by the Guo family in Xikuoyuan were easily eliminated."
With Yuan Kui as an internal agent, the thugs in Xikuayuan were naturally focused on. As soon as he entered Guo's house, he personally took people to Xikuayuan.
The Guo family had only a dozen or so thugs who could bully ordinary people. However, when they encountered well-trained soldiers from Daliang Mountain, they didn't even offer any decent resistance and were killed in Xikuoyuan.
Of course, Yuan Kui's contribution is indispensable.
Yuan Kui is a thug raised by the Guo family. He usually lives in Xikuoyuan. Everyone in Xikuoyuan knows him and has no precautions at all. This gives Ma Lin the opportunity to easily solve Xikuoyuan.
Cao Guang nodded.
The process of taking over Guojiazhuang was smoother than he imagined.
"Vice Captain, we found the Guo family's hidden silver." Wang Dazhuang hurried over with heavy steps.
When he got closer, he saw Cao Guang also there and said, "I have seen the captain."
"Okay, no need for so many false gifts." Cao Guang said, "Just now you said you found the Guo family's hidden silver?"
Wang Dazhuang said with a happy face: "To be honest with the captain, my subordinates took Guo Juren and searched all the places where the Guo family's silver was hidden, and found more than 1,300 taels of silver."
His face was filled with excitement as he spoke.
This was the first time in his life that he saw so much money. The white money almost dazzled his eyes.
"You said there were more than a thousand taels of silver?" Cao Guang asked again.
"Yes." Wang Dazhuang nodded vigorously and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money. It's a lot."
Cao Guang frowned and looked back at Ma Lin.
Ma Lin also frowned and said, "Did Guo Juren lead you to find the silver?"
"Yes, it was Guo Juren who led me to find it. And when I told him to chop off his fingers, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide it. He honestly led me to find all the money." Wang Dazhuang smiled and showed his rhubarb. tooth.
Marin asked: "Where did you put the silver you found?"
"It was placed in Guo Juren's study. Most of the money was found in the study, so my subordinate put all the money there." Wang Dazhuang said, "Don't worry, deputy captain, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it there." On."
Ma Lin said: "Where is Guo Juren?"
"Also in the study, with Yinzi being guarded by our people." Wang Dazhuang replied.
At this time, Cao Guang said: "Let's go, take me to see that Guo Juren."
"Yes." Wang Dazhuang agreed.
Wang Dazhuang led the way, with Cao Guang and Ma Lin following behind him.
Yuan Kui originally wanted to talk to Cao Guang about leaving, but he never had the chance to intervene, so he had to follow behind and walk to Guo Juren's study.
At this time, there were soldiers guarding Guo Juren's study.
In front of these people, there were two large wooden boxes, and Guo Juren squatted on the edge of the wooden box with his head in his hands.
"Captain, the people and money are all here." Wang Dazhuang pointed forward with his hand.
The wooden boxes were not opened, but Cao Guang could guess that the silver found in these two wooden boxes should be there.
Cao Guang walked over and opened the wooden box.
Sure enough, a piece of silver ingot was exposed inside.
