"Destroy the Nine Clans..." Hearing these three words, Old Master Zhou's muscles and bones seemed to have been evacuated, and his whole body collapsed on the ground with weakness.

The faces of several children and grandchildren also turned pale at this moment.

Li Xiaohu was still very satisfied with the current situation.

As a former bandit, Li Xiaohu knew very well that if he wanted to squeeze out their property from the people in front of him, the first thing he had to do was to make them despair.

Only in this way can they feel how wonderful it is to live. In order to survive, they are willing to give everything they can give.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Xiaohu talked and continued...

"Of course, our commander is not a bloodthirsty person, and he doesn't want to start a massacre in Liaozhong. However, the commander must give an explanation to the thousands of soldiers killed in the Liaodong army... I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any way to achieve the best of both worlds..."

Mr. Zhou, who was sitting on the ground with a dead look on his face, became vital immediately after hearing what Li Xiaohu said.

He said subconsciously to Li Xiaohu: "Silver, we can buy our lives with silver... We use silver to compensate the Liaodong Army soldiers who died in battle, so that Commander Yang can explain to the soldiers... " "Good idea... Mr. Zhou is worthy of being a scholar, and he came up with such a good idea at once..." Li Xiaohu said with a shocked expression.

Then, he asked Mr. Zhou with a meaningful look on his face. "I don't know how much money Mr. Zhou plans to spend to buy his family's lives... As far as I know, your Zhou family has been in this area of ​​perseverance for decades, and the family's property is rich... With less money, not only will the commander not agree, but the soldiers who died in battle will not agree... "

"Ten thousand taels of silver... This adult, although my Zhou family is actually rich, they are all land and houses, and there is not much silver... I can only take out ten thousand taels of silver at most."

Ten thousand taels of silver accounted for at most 20% of the Zhou family's total property.

However, Li Xiaohu did not refuse. Not only did he not refuse, but he also said very readily.

"Ten thousand taels of silver...can..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaohu ordered with a meaningful face: "Second Team Leader, take out the youngest grandson of the Zhou family, 10,000 taels of silver. We will not lose money if we buy this kid for life..."

"What? Ten thousand taels of silver can only buy one person's life. You are robbing money..." Old Master Zhou, who was stunned by Li Xiaohu's words, shouted loudly with a stunned look on his face.

At this time, Li Xiaohu was not unhappy, but instead replied with a smile: "Old Master Zhou is right... We are just robbing money. A life of ten thousand taels of silver, and you still have five people, plus your grandson, a total of sixty thousand taels of silver..."

"I'll give you a day to prepare. The money is not enough. You can use food, gold, silver jewelry, and even livestock instead..."

"Cook up 60,000 taels of silver, and we will retreat..."

"In addition, what I want to remind Mr. Zhou is that although our commander does not want to start a massacre, at least it is essential to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. I hope your Zhou family will not become that chicken."

The Zhou family can take out the 60,000 taels of silver. However, once the Zhou family loses the 60,000 taels of silver, the huge Zhou family will have nothing except the thousands of acres of fertile land around the village.

However, if you don’t take it out, you will die again. What’s more important is that the Zhou family will completely lose their descendants from now on.

After experiencing the fear that death just brought to himself, Mr. Zhou didn't want to experience it again no matter what.

So, although Mr. Zhou was in pain at this moment, he decided to say, "Yes... but I have to go out... I only know many places where there are hidden money in my family..."

"No problem..." Li Xiaohu's nervous heart also relaxed.

He decisively ordered the second squad leader who returned to his side: "Leave three brothers to watch them... the others, come with me to find silver..."

Three hours later, a total of 50,000 taels of silver was dug out of the underground silver warehouse by Mr. Zhou.

Plus the three thousand taels of silver in the Zhou family warehouse, worth five thousand taels of gold and silver jewelry, one thousand taels of grain, and one thousand taels of livestock...

A total of 53,000 taels of silver and 7,000 taels of materials were all on large chariots by Liaodong military uniforms.

After receiving the thing, Li Xiaohu was very confident in his promise and began to command the troops to retreat.

However, when leaving, Li Xiaohu left a shift in the name of protecting them and prohibited them from going out within two days.

As soon as Li Xiaohu left the Zhou family courtyard, more than a dozen members of the Zhou family surrounded Mr. Zhou, wanting to know what was going on.

When they learned that Mr. Zhou had given almost all of the Zhou family's property to the Liaodong Army in order to survive, the first idea that came to mind for more than a dozen families was that it was over, and the Zhou family was over...

And just then, Mr. Zhou, who was still heavy on his face, suddenly stood up and said, "What do you think they are crying... My Zhou family is not finished yet..."

After saying that, Mr. Zhou took out two gold bars from his body and said, "I still have fifty taels of gold here, and I can exchange it for hundreds of taels of silver, which is enough for our Zhou family to use in the past two months..."

"Our Zhou family still has thousands of acres of fertile land outside the village. At that time, if we sell part of it, our Zhou family can make a comeback..."

Just when the Zhou family regained their confidence in the future and was ready to do a big fight.

As soon as dawn the next day, the Zhou family was awakened by a noise.

Then, Li Xiaohu, who came once yesterday, appeared in front of Mr. Zhou again.

Facing Li Xiaohu, Mr. Zhou said with a guilty look on his face: "Sir, I have given you all the money... You Liaodong Army cannot fool us..."

Li Xiaohu replied with a righteous look: "My Liaodong Army keeps its word...I don't want to come either, but I just received the information and had to come. Otherwise, more than a dozen lives in your Zhou family would be lost here..."

Perhaps to prove what Li Xiaohu said, as soon as Li Xiaohu finished speaking, the housekeeper rushed in with a nervous look on his face and said.

"Rebellion... Master, everyone around Zhuangzi has rebelled..."

"I don't know where they got the news that you colluded with the Russians from Master. They all gathered outside the village and wanted to kill us to take revenge..."

"If it weren't for the Liaodong Army, these people had already rushed in..."

"What about the guards... What do so many guards in my Zhou family do for food? Why don't you stop them..." Mr. Zhou asked loudly.

"Run... Last night, all the guards ran away, and the five or six people left were not effective at all..."

At this time, Master Zhou looked at Li Xiaohu, as if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw in despair, and asked anxiously: "Sir, you must protect us... My Zhou family has given you all the money, you can't ignore us..."
