At this moment, Luan Qingshan came with people from behind. Seeing the mess in the front yard, I couldn't help but frowned, but didn't say anything.
The layout of Hejiazhuang is that most of the villagers live in the front courtyard, and not many people come in from the north gate. There are also more than 20 families of villagers living in the east and west courtyards. I just felt that the village was in chaos, but no one ordered them to do anything. They were all waiting in front of their own house, and there were people poking their heads at the courtyard gate.
Luan Qingshan stepped forward, looked at Mr. He on the ground, and said to the people behind him: "Go into the room and let all the He family members come out. Remember, we are just asking for money, and there is no need to kill."
His men promised. Entered the He family's room and kicked out all the people inside.
Luan Qingshan ordered Yuan He to be helped up and said to him: "Yuanwai, our brothers have been having a hard time recently, so we came to borrow some money and food. Everyone in Jinzhou City knows that your family is rich, so there is no need to shirk it. If you are happy, we will take the money and clap our hands." Just leave your village and don't cause too much trouble. If you don't feel happy, then you can't say anything, and you can only see more blood."
Officer He was so frightened by Luo Cang's fierce look just now that he hurriedly ordered his son to go to the room to get money. He said to Luan Qingshan: "Hero, the current situation is turbulent, and my family is no longer what it used to be. There are more than a thousand taels of silver in the village and several hundred strings of cash. You can take it."
Luan Qingshan smiled and said nothing. He turned around to see Mr. He's son leading two bankers into the room. Not long after, several people came out, carried out two large wooden boxes, and placed them on the ground. Luo Cang stepped forward and opened the box. Inside were white silver and copper coins, as well as many gold and silver utensils.
Stepping forward to pick up the gold and silver and look at it, Luan Qingshan walked back to He Yuanwai. He said: "Executive member, your family's business of frying alum brings in a lot of money a year. These two thousand taels of silver are not enough. Before the gold thieves went south, the taxes you paid to the government were more than 100,000 taels of silver every year. Take one thousand taels of silver. If you get an extra two taels of silver, are you treating me like a beggar?"
He Yuan trembled and said: "Hero, the government is exploiting me, and I don't have much left after paying taxes. The Jin people came south, and I spent a lot of money to save the lives of my family. Now I only have this money left at home. If the hero is too little, the food There are still nearly two stones of food in the library, feel free to take it."
Luan Qingshan smiled and turned to look at the He family over there. He said: "These young people are probably the descendants of members of the Communist Party of China. What are their names? Come and introduce them one by one. What are their identities? Don't get the wrong person."
Several people didn't know what Luan Qingshan meant, so they stepped forward and reported their names one by one. It turned out to be He Yuanwai's three sons, two daughters, five grandsons, and eight granddaughters. Yuan He originally had three daughters who were married and no longer lived at home.
Luan Qingshan grabbed He Yuanwai's eldest grandson and dragged him out. Said: "Commissioner, please pay your family's money honestly and save the lives of your descendants. If you insist on refusing to surrender, I will have no choice but to cut off your descendants!"
After saying that, he said sternly: "Luo Cang, come here with a knife. Mr. He didn't say anything, but you killed them one by one with one knife!"
Luo Cang promised and strode over with a knife. He walked up to He Yuanwai's eldest grandson and said, "Let's make a profit with this boy first!" After saying that, he raised his knife and chopped off the head of He Yuanwai's eldest grandson. He raised his foot and kicked his head to the side.
Luan Qingshan threw the headless body of his eldest grandson aside, then reached out and dragged his second grandson over. Said: "Executive member, if you don't say anything else, it will be this one's turn."
He Yuanwai was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Hero, hero, please spare my life! I actually have some money in my family, which no one else knows. Only my wife and I know about it. You spare my grandson's life, and I will give it all to you!" "
Luan Qingshan smiled and said: "In that case, let your wife take it out. - If it's too late, then kill it with one knife!"
Mr. He didn't dare to say anything more. He winked at his wife and asked him to take someone in to get the money.
My wife was already shaking with fear, how could she dare to say anything? He took two bankers and walked into the room. After a while, two more boxes were brought out and opened in front of the door. It was full of gold and silver ingots, and it looked like there were three to four thousand taels of silver.
Luan Qingshan said: "Commissioner, please exchange everything for silver. How much is the total here?"
The congratulator said: "Let's not hide it from the hero, it is worth five thousand taels of silver in total."
Luan Qingshan shook his head: "Your family has been roasting alum for decades and only has 5,000 taels of silver left. Who would believe it? It seems that in your eyes, your grandson is only worth 5,000 taels. That's the price! Here are your children plus Grandchildren, there are ten people in total. Including you and your wife, there are twelve people in total. If you honestly take out sixty thousand taels of gold and silver, I will spare the lives of your whole family. If the money is less, five thousand taels per person, all Cut it here!"
Mr. He kept complaining. Said: "A good man Mingjian, what kind of house is worth 60,000 taels of silver? I, the villager, can't even get 60,000 taels of silver even if I sell them all."
Luan Qingshan ignored him and said to Luo Cang: "I counted to three and couldn't come up with the money, so I'll cut this one off too!"
After saying that, he pushed his second grandson forward.
Luo Cang promised. The steel knife in his hand was raised high.
Officer He was so frightened that his heart almost flew out of his throat. He hurriedly said: "Hero, spare your life! I'll tell you the truth. Counting all the gold and silver jewelry in my house, I only have more than 40,000 taels of silver at most. If there is any more, it will be gone!"
Luan Qingshan said in a deep voice: "Take it out first!"
He Yuanwai sighed, called a few dealers to follow him, and entered the room. Not long after, the banker came out carrying several boxes.
Putting the box on the ground, the congratulator said: "Look here, good man, plus gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of jewelry, it should be worth more than 40,000 taels. If it is more, it will really be gone. Although my family has been fried for decades I want to save some money, but the expenses in the past few years have been too great, and there is not much left."
Luan Qingshan walked forward and saw that although most of them were gold and silver ingots, there were also many gold and silver utensils, as well as some jade and jewelry. Judging from the treasures in the box, the He family probably has nothing left to offer. Even though there are some treasures at the bottom of the box, it is not easy to get them out.
Luan Qingshan kicked the box with his foot and said: "I can't be ungrateful because the members are so happy. I took these gold and silver treasures away, and I will never come to your house again. Please forgive me for disturbing you tonight!"
After saying that, he ordered his men to come up and divide the gold and silver treasures in the box into piles, and each person carried a bundle on his back.
Luo Cang felt that the boss was not willing. Looking up, he saw a gorgeous woman standing in the crowd. He covered his face with his hands, his face full of unbearable expression. He said: "Just now my brother said he wanted 60,000 taels, but he only has 40,000 taels at home, so how can he give up? If he doesn't have money, he can pay for it with someone else!"
After saying that, he strode forward and pulled the woman into his arms. He said: "This daughter of He Yuanwai will go back and be my wife!"
Luan Qingshan felt that this was too ridiculous, and how could outsiders be tolerated in the village? I wanted to dissuade him, but I thought about it and didn’t say anything. These are people who are used to killing people and setting fires and doing whatever they want. Too many rules would be bad.
With the money and a whistle, Luan Qingshan led the people out of Hejiazhuang.
When Ma Tang saw Luo Cang snatching away the beautiful Lady Yazhai, he couldn't help but be greedy. After asking what was going on, he said: "Since we only have 40,000 taels, how can we rob him of one of his daughters? Just wait a moment, and I will grab one too, so that I don't suffer a loss!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he quickly ran back to Zhuangzi. The He family was crying around their murdered grandson. They were startled when they saw someone coming back.
When Ma Tang saw a beautiful woman, regardless of her status, he went up to her and snatched her away. He said: "You are short of twenty thousand taels, how can a little lady pay for it? With this one, the debt will be settled tonight!"
After saying that, he carried the woman on his shoulders and walked out of Zhuangzi as fast as flying.
Yuan He and his family were watching from behind. They were all stunned and speechless. It wasn't until the shadow of crabgrass disappeared that He's third son said, "Oh, this thief robbed my wife's family! What should I do?"
Yuan He and his family looked at their third son and didn't know what to say for a moment.
