Chapter 221 Don't work too hard, there is still a long way to go
Yang Biao heard the footsteps, quickly put away the map and put it in the drawer, then picked up a book on the table and sat down.
"Husband," Xia Weiwei came in with a tea tray. Seeing that the two were inside, they must be discussing something. "Did I disturb you?"
"No, Mei Yongle, you go and prepare it." Yang Biao took the tea tray and poured her a cup of tea.
"Madam, please don't wait for me tonight. I have things to do." He had to tell her in advance so that she wouldn't have to wait for him all the time.
"Okay, don't work too hard. There's still a long way to go." Xia Weiwei picked up the tea and put it to his lips.
"Well, the tea made by Madam is really delicious!" Yang Biao held the teacup in his mouth, drank the tea in one gulp, and hugged her while praising her.
"You, you only know how to say nice things." Xia Weiwei stretched her neck to kiss him, and her hands began to become restless.
Yang Biao's body was now particularly prone to explosion, and under her deliberate teasing, the two of them directly became one.
"Master, we can make a round trip in one night." The people in black clothes rode their horses at full speed to the gate of Zhai Fu's house. Mei Yongle looked at the road ahead. He had explored this road many times and knew it well.
"Okay, take six people to lead the horses to a secluded place, Lu Gang will take six people to guard the door, and the others will prepare to go in." Mei Yongle wrapped the arrowhead with rags, soaked it with kerosene, and handed it to Yang Biao who had prepared the bow and arrow. Dai Yu took the tinder and lit the arrowhead.
"Swoosh... whoosh... whoosh..." Three arrows were shot out in succession, and a fire suddenly broke out in the house. Everyone inside ran out to put out the fire.
"Come in!" Mei Yongle, wearing a black turban, had already found out where Zhai Fuzang's gold, silver and jewelry were. Everyone went straight to the inner house.
"Who is it?" The guards of Zhai Mansion were guarding the entrance and came over when they heard the noise.
"Wu Tong, take ten people to deal with these people, the others, hurry up." Sorry, the government office's funds are tight, he has to move the gold, silver and jewelry.
"Wow, how much did this guy earn?" Everyone entered the place where Zhai Fu hid his money and opened the boxes. The gold was shining under the light of the torches, and there were also many boxes filled with silver.
"Everyone, take the boxes of gold out first. If there are not enough to share, take out the boxes of silver." Gold is more valuable, so it must be taken out first.
"Oh, it's so heavy." Everyone said it was heavy, but their hands were not vague at all. They picked up the gold box and ran out.
"Master, those guards were knocked out by us." Yang Biao said that they would try not to kill anyone if possible. Wu Tong and others also came in, picked up the box of silver and ran away.
"You are so bold that you actually dare to steal from me, Zhai Fu." Just as Yang Biao and his men were making their second trip, Zhai Fu arrived with more than 20 people.
"Kill Zhai Fu, and knock out the others!" Yang Biao, who was wearing a black mask, whispered to Mei Yongle and pointed at Dai Yu, meaning that he should take fifteen people to stay behind to deal with Zhai Fu and others, while he would lead people to move the treasure chest.
"Yes, master!" Sixteen people stepped forward to stop Zhai Fu, allowing Yang Biao and others to move the treasure chest out again smoothly.
"Idiot, why don't you stop them quickly!" Seeing Yang Biao and others walking away with the boxes, and his own people being suppressed by Jiang Sheng and others again, Zhai Fu was furious.
"Zhai Fu, your good days are over!" Dai Yu found a flaw, knocked a guard unconscious with his hand, ran over and killed Zhai Fu with a knife, then took off his head to avenge the people who died tragically in the Qianpu Prefecture riot.
"Master, what should we do with Zhai Fu's head?" Dai Yu held up the clothes in his hand, which contained Zhai Fu's head.
"Hang him on the city gate of Hejian Prefecture, and we don't need to carry him with us." If he was hung in Qianpu Prefecture, it would be a bit uncomfortable to see him covered in blood.
"Yes, master!" Dai Yu and Wu Tong went to do it.
"Have you emptied everything inside?" After each of the twenty-eight people ran two trips, Yang Biao asked Mei Yongle and the others who were holding the treasure chest at the back.
What's more, they were leading everyone's horses over, and Lu Gang and his group were still shooting rockets into the courtyard.
"Master, don't worry. I won't even let go of a gold hairpin." Mei Yongle put the treasure chest on the horse's back and tied it up, then took out a gold hairpin from his arms.
"Okay, that's great if nothing is left out. Let's go, everyone go back." Yang Biao jumped on the horse, looked at the Zhai Mansion which was still burning, patted the horse's butt, and the horse immediately started running. The others also followed on horseback.
"Master, is this gold and silver enough for us to pay our soldiers?" In order to avoid being seen, they put the stolen gold and silver in a cellar in another uninhabited and remote house.
"Let's try to find more such merchants or officials who have committed corruption and bribery." Who would complain about having too much money? Besides, the construction of Qianpu Prefecture is in full swing, so we have to continue working hard to make more money.
In the following days, Yang Biao robbed several merchants who abused their power and corrupt officials in the four nearby prefectures, and the gold and silver he obtained was enough to last Qianpu Prefecture for ten years.
"Lord Yang, there are many robberies and murders happening late at night, and some of our colleagues have been killed. We are all in the same boat, and we must work together to curb crime and put an end to their arrogance."
Zhai Fu's head was hung on the city gate of Hejian Prefecture, which made their prefect very angry. He sent his confidants to contact officials from the other five prefectures. Yang Biao sent the prefect Yu Zhenyu and asked him to join forces with the six prefectures to wipe out this group of desperate criminals.
"Yes, Lord Yu is absolutely right." Yang Biao lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He wanted to unite with Liufu City to destroy him. That was wishful thinking.
"I heard that Lord Yang is recruiting soldiers. If you need help from Hejian Prefecture, just let us know." It's really pitiful that the government office was burned down by the mob.
"Okay, thank you, Lord Yu!" Yang Biao stood up and bowed to him to express his gratitude.
"Master, are we still working tonight?" He Kuang watched Yu Zhenyu leave and asked Yang Biao what his plan was.
"Well," Yang Biao thought for a moment. If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. The money you have earned is enough to rebuild the city and pay the soldiers. You can talk about the future later. You don't know how long you can stay in Qianpu Mansion.
"Stop working. Tell the brothers to train. Once they have acquired good skills, they can go and suppress the bandits and give the people a peaceful life." More than 150,000 people have been recruited so far, and they need to continue recruiting. It would be best if they could recruit about 200,000 people.
"Jiang Sheng, there are bandit problems everywhere now. You have to pay more attention to the public security of Qianpu Prefecture. It would be best to divide the troops into several teams and increase the intensity of patrolling the city to protect the safety of Qianpu Prefecture to the greatest extent possible." Yang Biao called Jiang Sheng and asked him to strengthen the management of the city.
"Yes, master!" Jiang Sheng went down to make arrangements. It was better when the world was in chaos. Chaos meant there were opportunities to achieve great things. He was full of energy now.
