The entire Xihou Village was in chaos. As the main gate was breached, the local soldiers at the east and west gates were also in disarray. Soon, they were also breached by Du Qian and Song Wan.
"The Fort Master has said it first: no looting, no killing, and anyone who disobeys will be killed!”
The moment they broke through the village gate, Du Qian and Song Wan quickly restrained their subordinates to prevent them from harming the villagers.
Although these minions used to be good citizens, after being bandits for a period of time, their style of doing things could not help but carry a bandit aura. They treated robbery and killing as normal things.
Therefore, before they set off, Xu Fengwu had repeatedly stated that they could not rob the villagers. Those who violated the order would be killed without mercy!
Fortunately, Xu Fengwu had killed Wang Lun during the day and had established his prestige. With Du Qian and the other two helping him, and with the 20,000 strings of silver, the minions were very obedient.
After Du Qian and Song Wan restrained the minions, they led their troops and soon arrived at the Xie Family's mansion.
At this moment, the battle in the Xie family's mansion had already ended.
Even though Xie Baozheng had promised a generous reward and the servants had put in all their effort to resist, Xu Fengwu, the three Ruan brothers, and the Chen brothers, who was easy to deal with?
The Liangshan minions led by Xu Fengwu were like a pack of wolves led by a tiger. They were like bulldozers that ended the battle easily.
When Du Qian and Song Wan walked through the gates, they saw Xie Baozheng and his two sons, as well as a group of delicate women, servants, and maids, all tied up with ropes and kneeling in the courtyard.
Everyone was trembling, their faces filled with fear, like chicks waiting to be slaughtered.
"Big brother!"
Du Qian and Song Wan hurriedly went up to greet Xu Fengwu. The two of them were extremely excited. They had not expected that this operation would really bring down the Xihou Manor.
"No need to be so polite!"
Xu Fengwu waved his hand and asked,""Did I disturb the villagers?"
"Brother, don't worry! Before we set off, my brother repeatedly stated that we were also restrained along the way. The brothers did not mess around.”Du Qian quickly replied.
"That's good!"
Xu Fengwu was very satisfied. He pointed at Xie Baozheng and said,"Look, this old fatty is that Xie Baozheng. He looks kind and kind, but who would have thought that he's a bully.”
"Brother, you can't judge a book by its cover.”Song Wan glanced at Xie Baozheng and shook his head.
"Great King, spare me! Spare me, Great King! This old man has tens of thousands of wealth and is willing to give it all to the king. Please spare my family's lives!”
Xie Baozheng had been captured by the Liangshan people and had become a piece of meat on the chopping board. He had long been scared out of his wits, so how could he still have the courage to be stubborn? He immediately cried bitterly and begged for mercy.
When Xie Bao Zheng cried, all the female servants and maids of the Xie family began to wail. His two sons were also trembling.
"Dog thief! "Give me back my parents 'lives!"
At this moment, Xie Gensheng let out a furious roar, raised his fists, and charged at Xie Baozheng.
Bang!
Xie Gensheng punched Xie Baozheng's nose, causing the latter to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Old dog, you've done so much evil, and you've achieved this today?”
"I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!”
"The heavens have opened their eyes and allowed me to take revenge today!”
With Xie Gensheng making the first move, the other lackeys of Xihou Manor couldn't hold back anymore and rushed towards Xie Baozheng. Without any explanation, they started to beat Xie Baozheng up with their fists and feet, beating him to death.
The hatred that they had suppressed in their hearts for a long time was now all turned into anger. Not only Xie Baozheng, but even his two sons were not spared.
The female servants and maids of the Xie family were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they screamed.
Xu Fengwu was afraid that this Xie guy would be beaten to death, so he quickly ordered the surrounding lackeys,"Pull them apart first."
The rest of the minions received the order and quickly went forward to pull Xie Gensheng and the others away. However, they seemed to have gone crazy and made the minions spend a lot of effort.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out, and everyone saw Xie Bao twisting his fat body as he rolled on the ground, his face covered in blood.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Xie Gensheng spat out a bloody ear. It turned out that he had bitten off Xie Baozheng's ear.
Looking at Xie Baozheng's two sons, their faces were already swollen.
Xu Fengwu couldn't help but shake his head. He patted Xie Gensheng's shoulder and said,"Brother, we'll kill him later. We've already caught him, so he can't escape.”
He then turned to Du Qian and Song Wan and said,""Brothers, please invite some villagers over. I want everyone to be witnesses.”
"Brother, please wait a moment." Du Qian and Song Wan nodded, then turned around and left.
Not long after, Ruan Second and the Chen Brothers walked out of the Xie Family's courtyard, their faces glowing with excitement.
"Young Master, our village made a huge profit today!”Chen Xing ran over with an excited expression. He did not even have time to catch his breath as he immediately reported.
"What good stuff did you copy?”Xu Fengwu asked with a smile.
"We raided the Xie Clan's treasury and found a total of three thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and over two thousand strings of copper coins!”
(The Song Dynasty had a total of 770 wen. For the sake of convenience, the book took Yiguan =1000 wen = one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver = one tael of gold.)）
Chen Xing, Chen Sheng, and Ruan the Second beside him were so excited that their faces turned red. This was nearly forty thousand strings of silver. An ordinary person would need to save for several lifetimes.
"In addition, there are more than five thousand stones of grain, about a thousand strings of jewelry, more than two thousand catties of pig iron, cloth, cattle, sheep, salt, and countless other materials.”
Nearby, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were dumbfounded.
Good lord, tonight's transaction would bring in at least sixty thousand strings of money. This money, food, and cattle would be enough for the village to live for a year.
No wonder they all wanted to be robbers now. Wasn't it a hundred times better to become rich overnight than fishing at Shijie Lake?
However, Xu Fengwu was very calm. The Xie family was the same as the Xu family. They were the big landowners in the village. If the Xu family could save up tens of thousands of yuan, it was not surprising that the Xie family had such a family background.
What made Xu Fengwu happy was that he had achieved a complete victory in tonight's operation. With such a dazzling battle record, he could be considered to have completely secured his position as the Fort Master.
Perhaps Du Qian, Song Wan, and the others had only submitted because of fear, but from tonight onwards, they would definitely be convinced.
From now on, Xu Fengwu would have the final say in Liangshan.
"Let the brothers pack up the belongings. When we return to the village, we will reward them according to our merits.”Xu Fengwu laughed and said happily.
"Brother, leave this to me. I guarantee that I won't miss a single chopstick.”Ruan Xiaoqi patted her chest.
These words reminded Xu Fengwu. He said,""There's no need for that. We just need money. As for those things that we can't take with us, we'll trade with the villagers in a while to buy some pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks.”
"Brother is right! Those things that couldn't be moved away were worth it to exchange for food!”Ruan Xiaoqi quickly nodded and turned to walk inside.
After a while, Du Qian and Song Wan returned one after another. When they learned that they had obtained at least 60,000 strings of money, their faces immediately turned red.
Damn it, when had Liang Shanpo ever done such a big business?
Half a year ago, Wang Lun led his troops to attack Xihou Village. In the end, not only did he injure many people, he did not even get a single cent. In the end, he returned to the village dejectedly.
On the other hand, Xu Fengwu had taken down Xihou Manor on the first day after becoming the Fort Master. The process could be said to be extremely easy. The two of them formed a strong contrast.
At this moment, Du Qian and Song Wan were completely convinced by Xu Fengwu.
After calming his excitement, Du Qian said,""Brother, the villagers are already waiting outside. Please give me your orders.”
"Good! Escort everyone in the courtyard to the main gate!”Xu Fengwu called out to the crowd and strode toward the gate.
