Zhen Xian was sent back to the Zhen Residence. After he returned, he ordered the door to be opened and all the servants and guests to hand over their weapons.
There was no point in resisting.
Although they had nearly a thousand servants, they were powerless against the flying stones and kerosene.
Moreover, Zhen Xian had just finished his business discussion with Zhou Cheng, so he believed that Zhou Cheng would not make things difficult for them.
However, the moth bandits outside the Zhen residence did not retreat. Instead, they continued to surround the Zhen residence.
Of course, Zhen Xian did not dare to have any doubts. After all, the aristocratic families and wealthy families of Ye City did not have such good treatment.
Those aristocratic families, noble families, and celebrities who did not escape the city were killed after their homes were broken through by the moth bandits.
In one night, the moth bandits killed nearly ten thousand people.
……
Early the next morning.
Zhou Cheng woke up with Xun Cai in his arms. They had drunk a lot last night. After they returned to their room, they had a fierce fight. However, Xun Cai's body was indeed weak and could not withstand Zhou Cheng's torture. In less than two hours, he was already exhausted and weak.
If Xun Cai did not return to Madam Cai's side overnight, Madam Cai would definitely be suspicious.
However, Zhou Cheng didn't care. He took care of the Cai family because the Cai family was Xun Cai's mother and the Cai family was the wife of a famous person. They definitely wouldn't accept him as their son-in-law.
However, Zhou Cheng and Xun Cai were husband and wife, and Xun Cai had acknowledged him as his husband. They would never leave each other for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, Zhou Cheng had decided to hand over the Cai family to the Zhen family and let them send her back to the Xun family in Yingchuan.
Xun Cai agreed with Zhou Cheng's arrangement. Although Xun Cai was also reluctant to part with his mother, he had replaced her with his hair. From now on, Xun Cai was no longer a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan. In the future, wherever Zhou Cheng went, she would go.
"Husband." When Xun Cai woke up, he saw Zhou Cheng staring at her. Moreover, his hands were very dishonest, making her face blush. She could only lie in Zhou Cheng's arms and did not dare to look up at him.
Zhou Cheng gently rubbed Xun Cai's arm and said,""I told my mother-in-law today that after the army leaves Ye City, I will send her back to Yingchuan.”
"Yes." Xun Cai nodded.
……
Zhou Cheng did things in a straightforward manner and would not drag things out.
According to the scouts, Huangfu Song's army had already crossed the Yellow River and was advancing at their fastest speed.
Zhou Cheng did not want to defend Ye City, nor did he want to fight a decisive battle with Huangfu Song in the wild. Therefore, he planned to evacuate Ye City this evening.
When they left, they would definitely plunder the entire city and take the entire population.
After washing up, Zhou Cheng and Xun Cai went to the west wing.
In the west wing, Lady Cai looked at Xun Cai, who had not returned for the entire night. The person standing beside Xun Cai was Zhou Cheng.
Moreover, Xun Cai's long hair was tied up into a bun and a jade hairpin was inserted into it.
Long hair meant that the daughter had grown up, and tying her hair into a bun meant that the daughter had married.
Although Madam Cai had long been suspicious, she almost fainted when she saw that Xun Cai had really married Zhou Cheng.
"Mother." Xun Cai hurried to Madam Cai's side and supported her.
"Mother-in-law." Zhou Cheng bowed to Madam Cai.
Madam Cai grabbed Xun Cai's hand and asked,""Why, why did you do this!”
Xun Cai leaned over beside Madam Cai with tears in his eyes." Mother, I was willing to sacrifice myself to save my mother. My husband did not force me. My husband took pity on me and cut off my hair to replace my mother. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Xun family of Yingchuan. I will follow my husband to the north. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my mother again in the future, so I came to bid farewell.”
Zhou Cheng said," Mother-in-law, Madam, don't worry. Sooner or later, I'll lead the army south to reunite Mother-in-law and Madam."”
Mrs. Cai knew her daughter's character. Now that what was done was done, she knew that she could not persuade her daughter to change her mind.
Moreover, Zhou Cheng was the leader of the moth bandits and had a hundred thousand men under him. What could a woman like her change?
She could only accept the fact that Xun Cai had married Zhou Cheng, but she did not know how to face Xun Shuang.
"Hey." After a long sigh, Madam Cai said to Xun Cai,""Forget it, just take it that I don't have this daughter anymore. I don't want your father to be bullied and let you suffer the reputation of being unfilial.”
"Mother!" Xun Cai lay on Madam Cai's body and wept bitterly. The women around him could not help but wipe their tears.
"Madam, please accompany your mother-in-law. I'll handle military affairs first.”
Zhou Cheng did not want to stay in the atmosphere of life and death, so he left directly.
At this moment, there were indeed many things waiting for Zhou Cheng to deal with in the Provincial Governor's Estate.
"Canal Marshal!"
"Canal Marshal!"
In the court, He Man, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao and the others were already waiting.
In front of the gate of the Provincial Governor's Office, the aristocratic families and celebrities of Ye City were tied up with ropes.
Zhou Cheng sat at the table. Soon, a soldier brought wine and meat over.
Zhou Cheng ate while listening to the report.
"From the Li Yang Chen Clan Residence, we found 140,000 stones of grain, nearly 1,000 cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and countless money and silk.”
"We found 160,000 stones of grain, nearly 1,000 cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep, and countless money and silk from the Wei Residence in Guantao.”
"We found 150,000 dans of grain, nearly 1,000 cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep, and countless gold coins and silk from the Zhou Manor in Wu 'an.”
"From the Yin 'an Zhao Family Residence, we found 170,000 stones of grain, nearly 1,000 cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and countless gold coins and silk.”
The more Zhou Cheng listened, the more excited he became. No wonder he wanted to beat up a tycoon.
With so much food, cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep, it was enough to feed Zhou Cheng's army of 100,000 for more than three months.
Moreover, this was only a rough estimate and the data was not detailed.
After all, statistics required professionals.
"Go and find Zhen Xian," Zhou Cheng said to a guard.”
"Here." The guard received the order and immediately brought his men to find Zhen Xian.
The Zhen family was a family of merchants. It shouldn't be difficult for them to provide Zhou Cheng with some accounting and finance.
