The blazing flames woke up the people nearby.
They were all hiding in their homes, craning their necks to observe.
"The Diao family is on fire?!"
"This Diao family who has killed a thousand people has finally received his retribution!"
"Burn it. Only if you burn that white-faced Yama Diao Kui to death!"
"The Diao family is getting retribution, and we are happier than during the Chinese New Year!"
The common people around them have all been oppressed by the Diao family. Now that they see the Diao family on fire, they will never help put out the fire.
Of course, if the Diao family sent their servants to ask people to go, they wouldn't dare not go.
But everyone soon discovered that something was not right.
Such a big fire... The Diao family has been silent.
It was simply eerily quiet.
There were no shouts to put out the fire, and no unscrupulous people came out to pull people to put out the fire.
Soon, several young people from the neighborhood plucked up the courage to approach Diao's house to check.
Take a closer look...
But suddenly he found that the door to the front yard of Diao's house was open, and all the strong men inside were unconscious.
With excitement, they ran all the way to the inner courtyard to inspect, only to find that the entire inner courtyard had been swept away.
These young people suddenly understood.
"It's bad, the Diao family was robbed!"
"Bah, fart! The Diao family was robbed, how can it be broken? This is God's eyes open!"
"Yes, yes, God is open, the Diao family is in bad luck!"
Several people soon discovered to their horror that all the male members of the Diao family had been killed!
Even Mr. Diao Kui, the white-faced Yama, was stabbed to death in the yard.
This time, they no longer had any scruples and started searching in the inner courtyard of the Diao family.
The gold, silver and jewelry had already been taken away by 'robbers'.
but!
The Diao family’s huge granary was almost intact!
Several young people suddenly cheered.
They carried the food in their hands and on their shoulders, and everyone was rushing home carrying the food!
After years of famine, every household is about to starve to death!
The Diao family is all dead, and there is no owner of the food. Anyone who doesn't take it is a fool!
After a few young people brought back the food, it was natural that they could not stop there.
This little food is enough for anything!
The Diao family's granary is not missing any corner!
Therefore, when they rushed to the Diao family again, the whole family, young and old, were already on the move together!
Carts, poles, baskets, everything that can hold grain were all brought along.
This series of movements soon attracted inquiries from neighbors on both sides.
When they learned that the bully Diao's family had been wiped out and food was being robbed at will, they all went crazy.
From dozens of people at first, to hundreds of people later, to thousands of people later!
All the people around them, regardless of the darkness and slippery roads, all joined the ranks of the big eaters.
After a night of hard work, every household of thousands of people around them had surplus food.
The Diao family's granary was wiped out.
Not just a granary!
The common people who arrived later divided up the Diao family's silk cloth.
At the same time, the Diao family's salt warehouse, the kitchen's vegetable cellar and other places where grain was stored were also scraped clean.
At the end of the day, the bedding, doors, windows, clothes, tables, chairs, and even bricks, tiles, doors and other objects in the Diao family compound were all stripped away by the common people.
Even the servants who were lying on the ground covered in sweat and numbness were all stripped of their clothes.
These days, every family is so poor that they have no pants to wear. Even a piece of clothing is a good thing.
When the sky gets brighter the next day.
Good guy!
The entire Diao family has changed beyond recognition.
Except for the big white walls on all sides, it can be said that not even a single piece of wood is left.
The Diao family has oppressed their neighbors for generations, so naturally no one will stand up for them.
The nearby people all let out a bad breath, and the words "forty thieves, doing justice for heaven" on the Diao family's gate soon spread to be magical.
After a while, God sent forty heavenly soldiers and generals to punish the Diao family!
After a while, there were rumors that the forty great guardians of the White Lotus Sect could not stand the Diao family and took action to punish the bullies themselves.
Not long after, people started to spread rumors that the Forty Thieves were not just forty people, but forty leaders, with four thousand soldiers. Otherwise, how could it be possible for just forty people to take down the Diao family overnight? To transport it all?
No matter what the theory is, people believe that these forty thieves are all heroes who punish rape and eliminate evil, and specialize in doing justice for heaven!
………
Earth Temple.
After a night of transshipment, loading and unloading, more than 20 cartloads of gold, silver, jewelry, grain, cloth, etc. were hidden in the depression next to the Tutu Temple, basically ensuring that they would not be discovered.
After everything was ready, everyone gathered around Zhu Chongba and discussed countermeasures in the Tutu Temple.
"Brother Chongba, we have never seen so many gold and silver jewelry in our lives!" Xu Da said happily.
Everyone's face was flushed with excitement.
There are several large carts of gold, silver and jewelry. If the big guys divide them, they can become a millionaire in an instant.
Not only can we purchase dozens of acres of high-quality farmland.
I can still have a big house in Haozhou City, where I can eat and drink every day, and my maids and wives will take care of me.
"If the gold and silver are divided, I'm afraid there will be no Life Flower!" Zhu Qiwu said.
Xu Da and others immediately calmed down, and the Diao family's vote was wiped out, which caused a lot of noise.
If you dare to reveal your wealth at this time, it is no different than seeking death.
Therefore, everyone wanted to think about what to do with these gold and silver treasures in the end, and they all followed Zhu Chongba's lead.
"Brother Chongba, you make up your mind, we all listen to you!" Xu Da said to Zhu Chongba.
"Yes, Chongba, let's draw a path for everyone!" Tang He also said.
In fact, Zhu Chongba has been thinking about it for a long time.
With so much gold, silver and jewels, if he is not tempted and wants to become a rich man who enjoys himself peacefully, it is definitely a lie.
However, he also knew the truth behind what Zhu Qiwu just said about 'lifeless flowers'.
"We need money now, we need food, and we don't even lack these swords, guns, and weapons. It would be a pity if we don't do something big!"
Zhu Chongba thought for a moment and said.
Everyone was waiting for what he would say next, but they saw Zhu Chongba looking at Zhu Qiwu.
"Qi Wu, you have the most tricks. Can you give us an idea, which rebel army should we vote for?" Zhu Chongba said.
Xu Da, Tang He and others also looked at Zhu Qiwu with trust.
This time, Zhu Qiwu's contribution to the destruction of the Diao family without any harm can be said to be the greatest.
From formulating the general plan to determining the details of every step, Zhu Qiwu can be said to be the perfect combination of strategy and caution.
Although Zhu Qiwu is only twelve years old, he has already been regarded as a counselor by everyone!
"Brother, it's a little too early to join the rebels now." Zhu Qiwu thought for a moment and said.
This year is the eleventh year of Zhizheng. Although there are already many rebels, they are all in small hills. The famous Red Scarf Army in history did not appear until Han Shantong and Liu Futong rose up.
