Chapter 406: reward
Zhang Changsheng was leading people to inspect the streets one by one. When he looked up, he saw his father walking towards him. He couldn't help being startled, and quickly walked a few steps to meet him, "Father, why are you here?"
"It's not you, why didn't you go home when you came back?" The head of the Zhang family frowned, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you brought people to raid the Ma's house, what happened? You say you, Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" He pointed at his son with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Didn't I let Zhang Cai go back?" Zhang Cai was his most trusted long-term follower, "Dad, you saw it too. I'm busy now, how can I go home?"
"I have to blame you too. Zhang Cai couldn't explain anything when he went back. He only said that you asked me to restrain the family members from going out at will. The servants of the big kitchen went out to buy things. That's when I found out that there were pirates in the city last night. How can I stay at home?"
Seeing that his son was followed by seven or eight people, who seemed very busy, the head of the Zhang family couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with the Ma family? Changsheng, although our Zhang family and the Ma family are not close, they are both in Shanyun County. There is a bit of incense, why did you lead someone to search Ma's house, but..." He was worried that his son would be plotted against, "Also, when did you return to the city?"
It’s okay not to mention the Ma family, but when the Ma family was mentioned, Zhang Changsheng immediately became angry, "Father, you are the only one who is so stupid, you still care about the incense, do you know that our family was almost cheated to death by the Ma family!"
Zhang Changsheng gritted his teeth and told how the Ma family cheated him, "That old bastard, he just doesn't like our family. If he really succeeds in his scheme, the least crime for our family is not to report the crime. , son, what future do I have?"
The head of the Zhang family was also furious, and cursed bitterly, "This old poison! Changsheng, you still have the decision, or our Zhang family..." He didn't dare to think about the consequences.
It is true that the Zhang family has their own little ideas, but they are also willing to surrender to the county magistrate. What the Ma family did was to cut off the Qingyun Road of the Zhang family, and even more so to drag the Zhang family into the quagmire.
"Collude with pirates, how dare he?" Patriarch Zhang really hates them. Pirates are inhuman things. To lure them into the city is because they don't care about other people's lives at all!
A cold light flashed in Zhang Changsheng's eyes, he snorted, and said, "Why wouldn't he dare? He's so courageous." Thinking of the old man's shock when he saw him last night, Zhang Changsheng felt a burst of joy in his heart.
"Then last night..." Patriarch Zhang asked in a low voice, and his son stopped him before he raised his head, "Father, don't ask, I will talk about everything when I go back." After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, "Before I go back, you and your family People should not go out, and if others ask, just say they don’t know. Dad, the water here is deep.”
Patriarch Zhang's expression was serious, "Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the door when I get back." He thought to himself, except for the eldest son, the remaining few sons are still obedient, but the youngest son is a bit messy. Well, even if he breaks his leg, he has to be held at home.
Zhang Changsheng continued to lead people to patrol, not just walking around the streets, shops, restaurants and restaurants, every house would go in and have a look, for fear of hidden pirates.
Said that he sent someone to find Wen Jiuxiao, but he didn't have a mobile phone. Who knows where he went on inspection? We can only cast a wide net and send more people out.
People don’t know when they will be able to find it, but the credit can be reported first, and Zhuo Zhengyang will write the paperwork for the credit. The head of the pirate is 237, and there are more than 60 captives. Originally, there were not so many, but with the addition of those caught by the common people and those found by the yamen servants, there were so many.
Pirates also have selfish intentions. Some cunning ones don’t want to attack the county government. Swords have no eyes, so dangerous, so fools go? Might as well grab something first. When the county government's attack is almost done, they will go to fish in troubled waters.
If pirates want to rob, they naturally choose rich people. How do they know which one is rich and which one is not? Look at the house I live in. But they made a mistake. Ever since Wen Jiuxiao promulgated a series of decrees to benefit the people, the family lives well, either because they are capable or they have many brothers. A single pirate has entered, can you please get it?
Killing pirates is considered a military achievement, right? What kind of rewards can be obtained for more than 200 heads? In fact, Yu Zhi didn't care too much. What she cared more about was whether the things copied from the Ma and Yan families could be kept.
"Mr. Zhuo, do you have to hand in the confiscated items?"
Zhuo Zhengyang stopped writing, "According to the law, it should be handed over to the national treasury, but it's not impossible..."
Although the words are not finished, Yu Zhi understands the meaning, so it is not impossible to operate, right? That is to say, there is a way to stay. Yu Zhi said: "The Ma and Yan families have occupied Shanyun County for many years, exploiting the people and causing harm to the neighbors. That being the case, the gains from their house raids should be used for the people." As for how to operate, I believe Zhuo Zhengyang himself There is a way.
"What the young lady said is very true." The young lady had already spoken, and Zhuo Zhengyang naturally followed suit. As long as part of the truth is concealed in the document reported to the magistrate.
"Mr. Lao Zhuo is here." Appreciation flashed in Yu Zhi's eyes. Wen Jiuxiao really has vision, Zhuo Zhengyang is loyal, able to keep the bottom line, not pedantic, which saved her a lot of effort.
Yu Zhi kept these things, not for himself. Yes, there are indeed a lot of gold, silver and jewels confiscated from the Ma and Yan families. If you add Zhuangzi, shops, and houses, there will be even more.
But Yu Zhi is really not rare, she has already become filthy rich, okay?
The family properties of these two families are naturally confiscated and used for infrastructure and education in Shanyun County. In order to develop Shanyun County, it still needs talents in the long run, and running a school should also be put on the agenda.
Yu Zhi doesn’t just want to run one or two schools in the city, she wants to spread flowers everywhere, so that every village has a school, not only children must learn to read, but adults must also learn to read.
Only by knowing the characters can one read, one can understand the truth after reading the book, and one can not be ignorant if one understands the truth, and enlighten the wisdom of the people. What a meaningful thing this is!
Study in the village school for a few years, and those who are talented in reading can go up and take the imperial examination. Those who are not talented also go up, go to a technical school, learn a craft, and come to support their families in the future.
Just look ahead, Shanyun County has a promising future!
At that time, when people talked about Shanyun County, it was no longer a "poor mountain and evil water, troublesome people", no longer a "desolate and barren land", and it no longer made people mention it. Shanyun County will become a place people yearn for.
Yu Zhi sent many people to find out about Jiu Xiao, and finally found someone in a remote small fishing village. It was a coincidence that the small fishing village was also attacked by pirates the night the pirates entered the city.
I don’t know where the pirates came ashore. I heard that more than a hundred people got separated, and more than forty of them lost their way to the small fishing village.
