Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 7
At this time, only Cao Cao and local soldiers were left alive in Ximenqing's mansion.

Cao Cao first looked at the 500 taels of gold, all of which were ingots of twelve taels, a total of fifty. He took out forty, ten for himself first, and the remaining thirty, so that the 30 people each took one.

The local soldiers and yamen servants were all stunned. What they expected to get rich was only a few taels of silver for one person, and a dozen taels of 20 taels. It was already a dream to laugh out loud. Why had they ever counted on gold?Some people have never seen such a large gold in their entire lives, and they dare not even take it.

Cao Cao said: "You wait and put it away at ease, I have my own opinion."

These people put them away with tears and smiles, only to hear Cao Cao say, "This fellow Ximen Qing has made friends with bandits from the Liang Mountains. How can he be willing to help him? He must be paid for."

The smarter soldiers nodded again and again: "That's right, but the money was taken by Liang Shan."

Cao Cao smiled, and had no choice but to take four of them, a total of 800 taels. He shook out his IOUs and stabbed: "Ximen Qing stole my woman, and he voluntarily paid me taels. The money is about the same." "He lifted it up and sent it directly to his home.

Everyone slandered: "These four silver winter melons weigh catties, at least worth to guan. The interest of this Wuhan University is so heavy."

When the person who gave the money came back, he laughed and said, "Wu Dadu, my sister-in-law almost fainted with joy when she saw all the money."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "When you go back, your wife may faint. Let's look at the copper coins here, coins, and the remaining coins will be confiscated. Each of you will take coins."

Everyone was ecstatic, they didn't expect to get gold and copper coins to take.

Cao Cao looked at it again, and said: "For the 4000 taels of silver, 1000 taels will be kept in the warehouse. Each of you will take 100 taels first." Give one to your wife, and take two of these brocade silks and satins to make clothes for your wife. Whether it is expensive or cheap, it depends on your luck, and you are not allowed to return or argue."

Everyone was dizzy, so they each chose one to hide in their bosoms, and each took two pieces of brocade and silk, Wu Da himself also chose a gold bracelet sleeve with peach pattern inlaid with five-color gemstones and put it in his bosom.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Choose six of these silver wax gourds and give them to the county lord. The other county magistrates and county lieutenants each give two taels of gold and 100 taels of silver to each of the county clerks. There are two pieces of antiques for each of the county magistrates and county magistrates, and these brocades are ten for the county majesty, five for the county magistrate and county magistrate, and one for each of the scribes."

Not counting land property and real estate, etc., there are only 30 taels of gold, more than three hundred taels of silver, more than two thousand three hundred copper coins, eight silver melons, twenty or thirty bolts of brocade, and antiques are also missing. Half.

Cao Cao calculated in his mind, nodded and said, "That's all, that's it."

The thirty soldiers made their own calculations, and each of them got ten taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, twenty copper coins, two bolts of brocade, and a treasure. I felt that I had never had such good luck in my life, and I was really happy , I have to bump up when I walk.

While dancing and dancing one by one, Cao Cao put his face down and said in a solemn voice: "Everyone, just listen to what Wu said: If we ransacked the house this time, if we said that we didn't get rich, no one in the county would believe it, but if we made a lot of money, we would inevitably spend our lives. Right and wrong. When someone asks you, you always say that you didn’t take any money. If your close relatives and friends ask you, you reveal that each person has shared pennies, a piece of fabric, and then treat them to a glass of wine and a meal. Be too stingy. As for other gold and silver, they must be kept tightly hidden at home, and it is best not to tell even parents and wives, and wait for a year or two before spending them slowly, this is the way to avoid disaster."

Among those people, some older ones stood up and said: "The words of the capital are the words of gold, and one of them is exposed, and he is my opponent..."

Cao Cao sneered and said: "You don't have to be the enemy of everyone, just be the enemy of Wu. If Wu can make people rich, he can naturally teach people to mourn. Ximenqing is an example."

At this point, everyone was tied together by Qian Cai, so they indifferently hinted that Ximen Qing was plotted by him.

The dignified official of Ximen, the richest man in Yanggu County, just because he offended Wuhan University, his family was ruined and his family was destroyed in a day. When these local soldiers and servants thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel terrified.

Cao Cao ordered half of the people to guard the property, and the other half sent the property that was going to be delivered to the county magistrate and others to each family overnight. He took eight local soldiers, picked up six silver winter melons and ten pieces of brocade, and personally hugged them. A golden Buddha and a blood-colored coral were covered with cloth and went to the county government.

Knocking on the back door, he said that he wanted to report the ransacking of the house, but the county magistrate did not sleep. Cao Cao asked people to carry the burden into the room and retreat, put the coral and golden Buddha on the table, and pulled down the cloth. , a light like brocade like clouds.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The villain Suwen County respects Buddha very well. I happened to see this Buddha statue today. The carving is exquisite. If it falls into the hands of people who don't understand Buddhism, wouldn't it be a hidden gem? And this coral tree , Coral is one of the eight treasures of Buddhism, and if you want to worship the Buddha, put it aside, it will definitely increase your understanding."

As he said, he opened the cloth on the burden: "As for some brocades, wouldn't it be great to wear new clothes for the New Year to reward people? There are also these helpless silver melons, which can also suppress the house luck once buried in the ground. They are commonly used at home. things."

He laughed again: "Actually, the villain also carried four melons away, and the right was equivalent to the guan that Ximenqing paid me. However, the villain's fortune is too small to bear, so I divided two and returned them to the county lord. , let’s pay back the five thousand coins.”

The county official was dumbfounded.

He asked Wuhan University to ransack the house, firstly because he loved Wu Song's love for his house and Wu, secondly because this matter was made an iron case because of Wuhan University, and thirdly because Wuhan University hinted that he would give him guan.

But now I have a few five thousand guan!Although this big Wu is short, he is full of courage.

Think for a while: Damn, if you don’t take it, you don’t take it for nothing!It's unreasonable for him to be greedy even for a grassroots person, but the majestic and dignified magistrate would not dare!

So he said slowly: "Wudutou, it's rare for you to know that this county worships Buddha and sent some Buddha statues and tributes. However, this county is too thoughtful, so I want to ask: This has nothing to do with copying the property of Ximen Qing's family, right?"

Cao Cao laughed secretly when he heard this, what a stupid official, if one day people really want to punish you, it doesn't matter and it doesn't matter, if no one punishes you, it doesn't matter if it does, this kind of self-deceiving qualifications, I'm afraid they can only be beaten in the county magistrate's position mixed up.

He straightened his face and said, "It doesn't matter! These are all ancestral things of Wuhan University."

Xindao Ximenqing called my grandfather, and his family's belongings are mine, or is his grandfather calling for nothing?

The county venerable nodded again and again, with a smile on his face: "It's so good, it's so good, Wudutou, the future will be long, the most important hero in this county, in the future, we should get close to him."

Cao Cao responded respectfully, said that it was late at night, and he would not disturb the rest of the county lord, and left.

When he returned to Ximen Qing's mansion, the sky was about to dawn, he counted the remaining things and made a book, and burned the account book of Ximen's family, sneering: "Ximen Qing, a traitor, dared to burn the account book before he died. human deeds."

Only then, under the surprised eyes of the soldiers, made people carry all kinds of belongings and return to the county government office to do business.

On this day, from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, down to the head of the clerks, everyone came early in the morning, with dark circles under their eyes, but everyone was full of energy, and they couldn't help scolding Ximen Qing has skills in making money, but has no way to do good.

Afterwards, the corpses of Ximenqing and Liangshan grassroots were inspected, and they were written into official documents and reported to Dongping Mansion.

A notice was posted at the gate of the county government office, asking those who had borrowed money from Ximen Qing to come to the county government office to pay back the money. The whole county cheered, the rich took the opportunity to eat a lot of fat, and the poor also watched the excitement.

Wuhan University also gained a reputation because of this. People heard that he killed Ximen Qing with a single sword, and copied all the families. People in the county called him "Broken Gate Sword."
