Although a group of left-behind old, weak, women and children were determined to resist, there were tigers, squatting cannons, carrying guns, bird guns, and bows and arrows to support the long-range firepower, and the guards also changed their previous vulgarity and timidity, and even broke out and beat the dogs in the water.

The village gate was broken, and the military households in the garrison shouted, holding their swords and guns, rushing into the village under the leadership of the servants, killing everyone they see and chopping them.

When the killing order of Zhao Cheng from the Bingxian reached the battlefield, the guards became even more active.

However, Liu Jun did not let the Nine-Headed Birds join this kind of revenge and killing. Such post-war massacre will not benefit the team members at all, but will instead cause some bad changes in the team members' psychology.

The servants and military households of Huangzhou garrison were slashing people crazy at this time, and even their own people were fighting for the heads and robbing the money and clothes on the thieves. Several of them had even dragged a few thieves and women who were at least under forty years old into the corner.

Liu Jun did not allow the team members to participate in this bloody scene, but he did not dissuade them.

Killing on the battlefield is two different things than killing after the war. Liu Jun hopes that the team members can figure it out. Killing enemies on the battlefield is called bravery, but killing after the war has nothing to do with courage, it is just killing.

However, since they were the first batch of people who invaded the parody, Liu Jun didn't plan to just watch.

He led his team to cross the servants and military households of Huangzhou Guard and rushed towards the center of the village.

Along the way, some old and weak thieves who had collapsed were running around. Liu Jun ignored the women and children and just asked the team members to catch some old men, especially a few old men with better clothes.

"Where is the warehouse?" Liu Jun asked the old men who were arrested, and then without waiting for them to turn around, he directly raised his knife and chopped off an old man whose eyes were constantly spinning. "You can't say it either, but that's how it ends up."

Several old thieves were immediately shocked by Liu Jun.

"Then!" Several old thieves pointed their hands at a wooden house not far away.

It was the largest house in the village, full of wooden buildings. It was obvious that it was not the place where bandits usually gathered for discussion, or the residence of the thief leader. The old thieves rushed to tell Liu Jun about the situation in order to escape and die. The wooden house was originally a meeting hall and the residence of the three leaders. The robbed property also existed in this large wooden house.

The old thieves were considered old brothers among the thieves, and some identities were, but they were not robbed outside due to their age. Instead, they were responsible for managing some affairs in the village, such as money, grain, family, etc. There was an old man who was the most gorgeously dressed and was also the third leader of the copycat. He also wanted to hide his identity, but was betrayed by several other accounting offices, masters and several old men.

"How much money and food does the copycat have?" Liu Jun asked.

The third head of the family was exposed and his face was deteriorated, "It was about ten thousand taels of silver."

Liu Jun was very surprised when he heard this number. He didn't expect that the thief actually robbed so much money. "More than 10,000 taels, how much is 10,000?" He still looked cold on his face.

"More than 18,000 taels!" The third leader replied honestly. "Everyone is in the warehouse over there."

Liu Jun asked the Sanding family to lead the way to open the warehouse. As soon as he entered the warehouse, there were indeed many things in it. Among them, there were several large boxes of silver, all of which were large silver ingots of fifty taels and one ingot that were recast after melting, and several boxes were filled with them. Total of 18,000 taels, and there were also several boxes of scattered silver, which was estimated to be hundreds of taels.

Of course, there are actually quite a lot of things in the warehouse besides silver.

There are a lot of gold, silver and jade that have been stolen, and they have been put in a few boxes. These things are not directly used or melted and recast like gold and silver. Jewelry and other things are obviously not that valuable when melted, and they are even more inconvenient to sell and sell dirty things, so they keep throwing them in the warehouse. After accumulating for a long time, there are also many.

In addition, there are many silk cloths, and even a lot of goods, all kinds of goods, probably caravans robbed on the road or shops and warehouses directly.

Liu Jun glanced at it and knew that the thief's nest was really good, but he was not happy. Instead, he rolled his eyes and shouted, "Come on, drag the old thief and chop it down."

The third leader had half a head of white hair, but he had a good relationship with the second leader of the eldest leader and had a life-saving grace to the son. He could count the words, so he sat in the position of the third leader. He usually took care of money and food, but in fact he was very brave. When he heard that he wanted to kill him, his legs immediately became weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Sir, please spare me, I've said everything I know."

Liu Jun sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid or stupid? Do you have silver, jewelry and dirt here, but you don't have half a tael of gold and copper coins? Since you treat me as a fool, there is no need for me to keep you."

The third head of the house hurriedly said, "It was the little one who forgot that there was gold and gold, but in the cellar on the other side, there were also copper coins, and they were put together with food. They were worthless things. They forgot that. The little one was really not intentional, but really forgot that for a while."

"Lead the way!" Liu Jun said coldly.

The cellar where gold is hidden is just under the floor of the conference hall. A secret cellar was dug there. Only three leaders knew about it, but others did not know it. What is hidden inside is the most valuable gold, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings.

When the township man opened the cellar and carried out eight large boxes from it, Liu Jun's eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, so many." Liu Jun sighed in surprise. This group of thieves often go out to rob, and they also robbed them on the important business road of Guanghuang Avenue. They committed the crime for a long time and had not lost their hands, so they robbed a lot of money. The thieves recast all the stolen gold and hid it in this cellar, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and several boxes were loaded.

"Jiye said that these gold bars are really like yellow croakers. How much gold is there in total?" Li Chunjiang also smiled and couldn't stop talking.

It is said that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. Since the Ming Dynasty opened its sea, silver flowed in in large quantities, and silver became the most important currency in circulation. It turned out that one tael of silver was almost the same as the copper coins. But at this time, the copper coins minted by the official were getting worse and worse, and more privately cast inferior copper coins also poured into the market in large quantities.

It turned out that the good gold-backed copper coins cast by the imperial court were collected by the people at home and were gradually reduced to inferior copper coins on the market. One tael of silver was exchanged for five or six thousand coins, and even some bad copper coins could only be exchanged for one tael of silver.

Copper coins continued to depreciate, while silver continued to appreciate, but during the Chongzhen period, gold rose more than silver.

Nowadays, one tael of silver can be exchanged for more than ten inferior copper coins, but one tael of gold can be exchanged for thirteen taels of silver. This has increased a lot compared to the relatively stable ratio of one tael of gold to eight taels of silver decades ago.

It is precisely because of this that all the gold robbed was melted into gold bars and hidden. Even when they kidnapped, they only needed gold as a ransom, and occasionally they were dirty, so they tried to exchange it for gold and hoard it.

These thieves only enter and leave gold and hide it tightly. Now they are being taken over by Liu Jun.

The Sandang Family looked at the boxes of gold bars and said helplessly, "There are a total of 100 large gold bars and 160 small gold bars." After accumulating for so long, he has made wedding clothes for everyone.

Liu Jun quickly converted it in his mind. A big gold bar and a small gold bar one or two. So there are 1,160 taels of gold here. If it is exchanged for silver by 1 to 13, the total value of these gold is 15,080 taels of silver. And according to the current world, gold will only become more and more valuable.

What a huge sum of money, no less than the money outside.

"Is there anything else I didn't tell me?" Liu Jun looked at the third leader.

The third leader pointed to several other boxes, "There are all calligraphy and paintings there, which are worth a lot of money."

"There are nothing else?"

"It's gone, it's really gone." The third leader said honestly.

Liu Jun nodded, "Very good. Since you have finished what you should say, then you can go on the road with peace of mind. Your other two brothers have been waiting for you there for a long time." After that, Liu Jun stabbed him into his chest.

The third head of the family slowly fell down with surprise and pain, "You...you are not trustworthy."

"I just said that you would kill you if you don't tell the truth. If you don't tell the truth, you won't kill you if you don't tell the truth. Remember not to be a thief in the next life."

"Hide all the gold and antique calligraphy and paintings back into the cellar, and we will send someone to pick them up in a few days." Liu Jun said to Li Chunjiang in surprise. This was a sum of money that only three leaders knew about, and now all three leaders are dead, so Liu Jun has no reason to let it go.

"Put dozens of gold bars of size into the warehouse, and carry some silver over." Liu Jun told Zhang Shan to do things carefully. If you don't put some gold bars outside, you will collect the spoils later. Wouldn't you reveal the same flaws as he did just now? Moreover, Liu Jun had a big appetite. Not only did he embezzle most of the more than a thousand taels of gold, but he also planned to swallow a portion of the more than a thousand taels of silver, and it was also a large part of it.

In the end, Liu Jun took a fraction of the 1,160 taels of gold to the warehouse outside, and left only more than 18,000 taels of silver, and then carried the 15,000 taels of silver into the cellar in boxes.

"Isn't this good?" Li Chunjiang hesitated a little.

"It's all thief. We swallow it just for the ninth-headed birds. We can't keep it on your money in the future. How much money can you have and how much money is not used like this. Anyway, we take it from the people, and we will also use it for the people." Liu Jun explained to Li Chunjiang.

Li Chunjiang did not want to embezzle the money, but Liu Jun was right. Most of the expenses of Jiutou Bird were paid by him. He had taken out all his private money for 10,000 taels. Although he received several thousand taels of salary, he still had a lot of money left. However, with the current expenses, the little money would not last long.

When the private money is used up, where will he raise money? The Li family has money, but it is impossible to easily use it to set up a village horse team for him. If you swallow this thousand taels of gold and 15,000 taels of silver now, it would be equivalent to getting 28,000 taels of silver. This is a large sum of money, which can make the Nine-Headed Bird not have to worry about money and food for a long time in the future.

Especially Liu Jun's words that used the people from the people made him more relaxed.

"Official collection, we won't take this money, and it will end up falling into the hands of the government. But do you think this money will be used for the people? When encountering a bandit incident, the money from the people will be distributed to the people."

"Okay, but this matter must be kept confidential." Li Chunjiang finally agreed to swallow the money.

"Don't worry, we only know, and we are not stupid." Liu Jun smiled, "But everyone move quickly, don't end the flesh of the mouth flew again."

Although the cellar is in the conference hall, it is very secret. If you don’t know, even if you search, it will be difficult to find out. Liu Jun planned to hide the money in it first and then secretly get it, so that you can’t even know it.
