After everyone's efforts, Zheng Qianhu was finally found in a sand pit. To be more precise, he found a pool of flesh and blood!
Zheng Qianhu died, and died miserably!
His clothes were stripped off, he was tied to a wooden frame, his teeth were pulled out, his tongue was cut off, his ears were chopped off, his nose was pinched, and his eyes were gouged out... Then ten fingers and ten toes were cut off, and all the bones in his body were broken... Finally, he was bled. Cramped, skinned, and disemboweled to death!
On the clothes that were taken off, there were four bloody characters: Blood debt must be paid with blood!
"Ugh... ugh!"
Seeing the flesh and blood on the ground, everyone around them vomited, first the food, then the gastric juices, and finally even the bile.
Even Qin Feng, who had gone through hell-like training, couldn't help but be moved by it. That 'Golden-haired Tiger' was so ruthless. This was no longer a simple killing, but the most cruel killing and corpse abuse!
Then again, the hatred for killing his father and the hatred for taking away his wife, combined, it is not too much to take revenge in such an extreme way. If it were him, he would be ten times more cruel!
At the same time, Deputy Dong Qianhu came over. He looked at the minced meat on the ground and was speechless for a long time. Then he stared at Qin Feng with a complicated look in his eyes.
You know, according to the previous plan, this group of bandits was to be wiped out. Everything else was going smoothly. Why was the third leader, Han Shanjun, omitted?
Why did Qin Feng remind himself to send someone to report the victory to Zheng Qianhu and lure him to come and claim credit?
Qin Feng was a living map. Even in the dark night, he could successfully lead everyone to the location of the bandits' lair. Why did he get lost many times in broad daylight, delaying the rescue?
Zheng Qianhu was robbed and killed by a group of sand bandits, and the one who had a deep hatred for him among the sand bandits was none other than the third in charge - Han Shanjun!
…
Linking these events together, people can't help but suspect that Zheng Qianhu did not die accidentally, but fell into a trap... As for the person who designed the trap, it is not difficult to guess!
In order to find out the truth, Deputy Dong Qianhu was about to interrogate him, but Qin Feng spoke first: "Well, Zheng Qianhu personally led the team to suppress the bandits, and did not want to die on the spot during the fight. It is really heroic and pitiful. I heard Zheng Qianhu has no blood relatives, so from now on, the affairs of Zhenbei Qianhu Office will probably have to be handled more by Deputy Qianhu!"
"ah?"
Deputy Dong Qianhu was not stupid, and he immediately understood the meaning of Pinpin's words.
Yes, the officers of the Ming Dynasty were all hereditary. If the father died, his son would take over. If there was no son, he could also be replaced by a blood relative such as a grandson, younger brother, or nephew.
The problem is that Zheng Qianhu did too many bad things. Although he took seventeen wives and concubines in a row, he did not give birth to an heir, and he had no other blood relatives. His brother and nephew were all poisoned to death by Zheng Qianhu. There is no one left, and no one can take over his official position.
The post of Thousand Households is extremely important and cannot be left vacant for a long time. Who is a more suitable replacement?
He is the Deputy Qianhu of Zhenbeicheng, and he has made great achievements in suppressing bandits this time, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate for the new Qianhu.
In other words, the current situation is most beneficial to me. Since it is beneficial to me, why bother to talk too much and create all kinds of details... If you really ask something, it will be troublesome!
You know, in life, sometimes it is difficult to be confused!
"Haha, little brother Qin is right. From now on, I will have to work more on the affairs of Zhenbei Qianhu Station... Brothers, clean up and go home in triumph!" After thinking about it, Deputy Dong Qianhu couldn't help but He asked no more questions, but ordered his men to simply gather Zheng Qianhu's broken corpse, wrap it in rags, and put it on the back of a camel.
Another big hole was dug, the other people's bodies were thrown in, and the matter was buried!
These are all Zheng Qianhu's men. They bully men, dominate women, and do many evil things all day long. Now that they have a burial place, it is a great blessing.
Next, they mobilized the military households from the Qianhu Station in the north of the town. They used oxen and horses to transport them, and people carried them on their shoulders. After a lot of effort, they brought back all the captured loot. By the way, they also sent Zheng Qianhu's body away. go back.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Zheng Qianhu's body, his seventeen-room concubines did not cry, make trouble, or investigate the cause of death. Instead, they divided the gold, silver and jewelry in the house as quickly as possible, and then... They dispersed in a coax and went their own way to reincarnation.
When we left, everyone was in high spirits, almost ten times happier than during the Chinese New Year!
Seeing this, the remaining servants and maids followed suit, each plundered some belongings and scattered them all... If the big Zheng family suddenly had their rooms empty, even the watchdog ran away with his tail between his legs.
As for Zheng Qianhu's body, it was thrown in the yard without anyone taking care of it. It attracted swarms of flies and the rotten smell wafted far away!
In the end, Deputy Dong Qianhu ordered someone to buy a cheap thin-skinned coffin, collect Zheng Qianhu's broken body, and take it to the outskirts for burial!
At this point, the Zheng family's story in Zhenbeicheng is completely over!
…
We have achieved a great victory in eradicating the bandits, so we naturally have to celebrate it properly.
At night, the lobby of Qianhusuo in Zhenbeicheng was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and tables of sumptuous wine and food were set out to celebrate!
Once Zheng Qianhu died, Dong and Deputy Qianhu had the most distinguished status and naturally sat in the first place. Qin Feng sat in the second place with undisputed credit; there were also Baihu, Trial Baihu, and Zongqi. There were a total of ten people including Xiao Qi and Xiao Qi, sitting on both sides of the lobby.
"Thank you for your hard work for this great victory. Drink!"
"drink!"
"Ha ha!"
After the celebration banquet started, everyone drank and drank happily. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone started talking about the process of wiping out the bandits and the trophies brought back.
After counting, a total of more than 400 taels of gold, more than 12,000 taels of silver, more than 20 boxes of copper coins, as well as some cloth, fur, refined salt...as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings were seized!
How to distribute so many things?
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that half of the loot would be confiscated and used for Qianhusuo's daily expenses, while the other half of the loot would be distributed to the participants in the war according to their merit.
There is no doubt that Qin Feng, as the number one hero in wiping out the sand bandits, will definitely get the most spoils!
However, when looking at the list of loot, Deputy Dong Qianhu had some doubts: "Brother Qin, I remember you only took away five kilograms of gold sand. Why are there more than thirty kilograms here? What is the excess?"
"Haha, the extra ones are all scavenged from the river."
"I found it, you mean?"
"Yes, there are gold placer mines in Qinglong River!"
Next, Qin Feng narrated how he used gold sand to lure the bandits, gathered them and annihilated them, and finally discovered the gold sand mine by mistake!
Looking at the lobby, everyone opened their mouths and fell silent. Then some people twisted their thighs and some pinched their arms. After confirming that it was not a dream, there were bursts of cheers: "Get rich, get rich, I really got rich this time!"
After cheering, everyone started talking again. Discovering the gold sand mine was not a trivial matter. What is the best way to deal with it?
"Otherwise, let's report the discovery of the gold placer mine to the Yulin General Military Mansion?" a general flag officer suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of murderous eyes were focused on him. The flag officer was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost got under the table. He did not dare to speak any more!
As we all know, the poorest among the Jiubian is Yulin Town, the poorest among Yulin Town is Yulin Youwei, and among the five thousand-household offices in Yulin Youwei, the poorest is Zhenbei Qianhu Office.
It is close to a desert, suffers from drought and water shortage, and the cultivated land is severely desertified. It is hard to grow anything you plant.
In other places, one acre of land can produce one stone, sixty-seven tons of grain, but here in Qianhusuo, Zhenbei, even in a good year, it is difficult to produce one stone per mu!
The yield per mu was less than one stone, of which six dou had to be handed over to the court, which was called "grain grains." The remaining bit belonged to the military households. Let alone a full meal, even a half-full meal was a luxury!
Poor!
Because of poverty, military households left their homes and fled in large numbers!
Because of poverty, young men cannot get wives!
Because of poverty, older girls have chosen to marry far away!
…
Well now, God has opened his eyes and rewarded me with a gold sand mine, or more accurately, a golden rice bowl!
At this time, a guy who had his head kicked by a donkey actually proposed to report the gold placer mine?
The high-ranking officials above are all like leeches. They see money as if they see blood. They will not give up until they suck it all away. If they know about the gold placer mine, they will definitely rob it and eat it all... The military here The households may not even be able to drink the leftover soup!
"No, the matter of the gold placer mine must not be reported!"
"That's right, this is what God has given to our thousands of households in Zhenbei. We must not give it away to others. My ancestors have been poor for more than ten generations, and we cannot let our descendants be poor for more than ten generations!"
"Yes, this gold placer mine belongs to us. If anyone dares to rob it, I will pull out my knife and fight him to the death!"
…
After a heated debate, everyone, including Deputy Dong Qianhu, unanimously decided to block the gold placer mine and the news must not be leaked!
Whoever leaks it out will be the sworn enemy of thousands of households in the north of the town. He must be cut into pieces and his whole family must be killed!
Who will come? There is nothing in the world that is airtight. No matter how tight the blockade is, the gold placer mine will still leak out sooner or later.
If you want to keep this gold sand mine forever, there is only one way: become stronger!
As long as you become stronger, no one will dare to steal things from you!
