Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 1060: Massacre
"Ok?"

The man's face changed. Cao Yuan had already come to him. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and punched the man on the bridge of his nose. The Deng family had lived a life of luxury for many years. How could they have ever encountered such a thing?

After Cao Yuan's punch, he didn't even think of calling for help, but collapsed to the ground in a daze, letting his nose bleed. Cao Yuan took another step forward and picked up the man in his right hand like a chicken, and he remembered to scream.

"Come, come, come quickly!" he screamed. Cao Yuan stretched out his left hand and slapped him directly, "What are you yelling about? Be quiet!"

Outside, a group of Deng family slaves had already rushed in, but three Ming soldiers blocked the door and drew out the short knives hidden in their arms. None of these slaves dared to come in.

"My Lord, let's talk..." The Deng family aristocrat could no longer handle the superiority of the other person, and with a nosebleed, he bowed to Cao Yuan with a crying voice. However, because he was still held in Cao Yuan's hand, the way he bowed in the air looked a bit strange.

"If Your Majesty is seeking wealth, my Deng family does have some assets..."

"Okay, I like straightforward people like you." Cao Yuan said with a smile. "In that case, where is your family's gold and silver hidden? Take me to have a look."

The Deng family thought Cao Yuan was a daring bandit from the Ming Dynasty. His life was in Cao Yuan's hands, so he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly told the servant at the door to lead the way to the back house. Cao Yuan was not afraid with the hostage in his hand. He winked at his companion guarding the door and said to him:

"Grandpa and I have some brothers waiting outside the city. I heard that your Deng family has the final say in Qinghua Prefecture?"

"My brothers want to come to the city to have some fun. Master Deng should allow it, right?"

"Yes, no, welcome!" Master Deng, who was held in Cao Yuan's hand, looked at Cao Yuan's fist as big as a clay pot, and wisely forced out an ugly smile. "You are most welcome!"

"Hey, you agreed decisively." Cao Yuan sneered. If he was really a big bandit who committed crimes, the people of Qinghua Prefecture would have suffered an unexpected disaster if Deng agreed to let his "brothers" enter the city. Deng was so "sensible", it can be seen that he usually did not care about the people.

Cao Yuan held the man hostage again and asked him to send another man with two personal guards to take the more than 100 soldiers into the city. He, Le Loi and the rest of the men took the man to the back house.

After entering the backyard, the Deng family tinkered in the study room for a long time, took out a two thousand tael Ming treasure note, and said, "Your Majesty, all the savings of my Deng family are here..."

Cao Yuan sneered, took the note, turned to Li Li and said, "See? These guys are not very smart, but they are always smart. Two thousand taels, they think we are beggars."

The man surnamed Deng started to tremble.

"You even thought of taking our Ming Dynasty's banknotes." Cao Yuan looked calm, pulled out a knife and shook it at the man's neck. "I'll give you one more chance, you've got to think it through."

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, please forgive me." The noble family member surnamed Deng trembled in fear. He thought that two thousand taels would be enough to open the eyes of these people, but it turned out that they were people who had seen the world.

"I followed His Highness to the west, and I saw this kind of people the most. They thought they were superior to others because they had been rich for generations, and they put on airs."

"In reality, they are all paper tigers. When they see a knife, their true form is revealed. Their character is even worse than that of the lowest slave. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Li Li nodded, feeling moved.

"Let's go." Cao Yuan said. "If you dare to fool me again, I'll peel off your skin."

As he said this, he took a knife and cut a gash on the man's face.

"Yes Yes……"

Although it was just a small cut, it scared the man out of his wits and he didn't dare to do anything wrong. He obediently led Cao Yuan and Li Li to the entrance of a cellar.

Cao Yuan took the man down to the cellar, and after he came out, his expression changed for the first time.

"Damn, this Annan monkey is really a piece of shit. What's buried underneath is all gold, silver and jewelry."

Li Li went down to take a look, then climbed up with a shocked look on his face.

"General Cao, what should we do next?" said Li Li.

"Easy to handle." He knocked on the Deng family member and said, "Go, have someone call all your servants here."

"This... My king, this is my inner house with female relatives, this..." Hearing that slaves had to be called here, the man surnamed Deng was extremely unwilling.

"Are you after your women or your own life?" Cao Yuan yelled. "Just do what I tell you to do!"

"If not, think carefully about how many blows I can stab you!"

This nobleman wisely surrendered. Soon, most of the Deng family's servants, except for some who lived far away, were summoned here.

"Wow, what a grand ceremony! There are even more servants than in your Highness' palace." Cao Yuan said in surprise.

The Deng family's mansion was not cramped, but rather luxurious. However, the servants gathered here and still packed the place to the brim. Roughly speaking, there were at least two hundred servants serving the Deng family in this Deng family mansion alone.

What a luxury this is!
"Have our brothers arrived?" Cao Yuan asked Li Li.

"Here they are." Li Li nodded. Just now, he saw the more than a hundred people on his side also came to the back house of this mansion.

Cao Yuan held Deng hostage and ordered the more than one hundred people to take away as much gold and silver as they could in full view of everyone.

The gold and silver were dazzling. A lot of gold and silver were taken out from the bottom of the cellar and put into the pockets of more than a hundred people. Some of Deng's servants stared with wide eyes and swallowed their saliva.

Then, he said to the many servants of the Deng family: "You, the things under this cellar are all the private wealth that the Deng family has plundered from you."

"Now, I am in charge. You can take as much of the gold and silver below as you can."

"It's all yours!"

After saying this, all the servants were stunned.

"Great... Great King!" The hostage trembled all over and looked back at Cao Yuan in disbelief. He had originally thought that the gold and silver that these one hundred people could take away were limited, and although it would be painful, it would not cause any serious damage.

However, this man from the Ming Dynasty actually encouraged his servants to take his gold and silver! What kind of people were those servants?
What a lowly thing, as a dog!

How dare you touch his Deng family’s things?
The nobleman surnamed Deng opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"You talk too much nonsense." Cao Yuan killed the man with a single blow. He had listened to many of the conversations between him and Le Loi, so he couldn't keep him alive. Then, he called Le Loi and the others and said, "Let these Deng family servants move the gold and silver themselves."

"Brother Li, take your men and kill all the people in the Deng family. Don't leave any alive!"

“Only when there is no Deng family, Qinghua can be completely controlled in your hands!”
