After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Because there was so much gold, Zhang Liang and his team were busy for a long time and it took two whole carriages to load it all.

After moving the gold away, Zhang Liang and his team immediately reunited with Yan Sheng and his team.

However, they had only taken a few steps when they saw Yan Sheng and others running towards them in a hurry.

Upon meeting Zhang Liang, Yan Sheng immediately said to them, "My lord, we have already taken care of everything. As soon as daybreak comes, the people in the city will immediately discover the situation in the granary."

After hearing Yan Sheng's words, Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Okay, now let's hurry out of the city and reunite with everyone."

After saying that, Zhang Liang and his men took the gold and headed towards the city gate.

About half an hour later, they reunited with Qin Youlan and others.

When Zhong Tian saw the two thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stationed outside the city, his eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief.

He had never seen such elite soldiers. Each of them exuded a strong murderous aura, which was obviously not comparable to that of an ordinary army.

Zhong Zheng swallowed, then looked at Zhong Tian and said, "Father, this army looks so terrifying! It feels even more elite than the imperial guards."

Zhong Tian did not answer Zhong Zheng's words, but turned to look at Zhang Liang, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.

"My lord, is this army yours?"

Zhong Tian asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Hearing his words, Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, saying, "These people were my father's personal soldiers. After hearing about what happened to the Duke of Wu's mansion, they came to join me."

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Zhong Tian's eyes flashed with a gleam.

So he said, "With such an army, our chances of success will be even greater."

Seeing Zhang Liang and his companions return safely, Qin Youlan and the others felt relieved. They gathered around him and asked, "Uncle, is everything resolved?"

Hearing their words, Zhang Liang said, "That's right, we should leave now."

"But before that, we have to split into two teams."

Zhao Ruoruo, not knowing what was going on, frowned and asked, "Uncle, what happened? Why did you split up into two groups?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Zhang Liang sighed and then led them to two carriages.

Then he gently lifted a corner of the cloth, revealing the golden gold inside.

When they saw the gold, Qin Youlan and others widened their eyes in surprise. They obviously did not expect to make such a discovery.

Then Zhang Liang said, "This is why I want to go our separate ways."

"Carrying so much gold with us would be very dangerous and could easily expose our identities. Therefore, we need to split into two groups. One group will be responsible for secretly escorting the gold away, while the other will rush to the southern barbarians first."

After hearing this, Qin Youlan and others finally understood Zhang Liang's intention.

After Zhang Liang resolved his doubts, he looked at Yan Sheng and said to him, "Yan Sheng, the task of escorting this batch of gold is now left to you! I feel more at ease with you handling this matter!"

When Yan Sheng heard that Zhang Liang would entrust him with such an important task, the expression on his face became serious.

He is fully aware of the importance of this task and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

He then said to Zhang Liang, "Don't worry, my lord! I will definitely escort the gold safely and reunite with you."

Zhong Tian nodded and suggested, "My Lord, I think we should pretend to be a caravan and take the smallest possible route to avoid being noticed."

After hearing his words, Zhang Liang pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"That's right, we'll just listen to Master Zhong. We need to keep a low profile and avoid attracting unnecessary attention."

Afterwards, the entire team began to get busy, preparing to set off disguised as a caravan.

Everyone changed into ordinary merchant attire and adjusted the items on the wagons to make it look more like an ordinary caravan.

After doing all this, Zhang Liang and his men split into two teams and headed towards the Nanman.

Some time after Zhang Liang and his men left, the sun slowly rose, and the people who were still asleep got up and started working.

Because Zhang Liang and his men ended the battle too quickly last night, it did not cause much disturbance and the entire city seemed unusually peaceful.

However, some people who got up early found something wrong when they passed by the granary.

The granary, which was supposed to be guarded, was now empty and the door was open.

This made the people feel very strange, so they tentatively walked in to check what was going on.

As soon as they entered the granary, they saw a shocking scene: three bodies were lying on the ground. When they got closer, they found that it was Zheng Shuangcheng's family!

There was also a line of large characters written next to it: "Corrupt official Zheng Shuangcheng and his family exploited the people. I have come to open the granaries and release grain to enforce justice!"

After seeing these words, the people were shocked at first, and then an indescribable joy surged in their hearts.

They realized that someone was acting on behalf of Heaven and eliminating harm for the people.

Immediately afterwards, these people hurried out of the granary, intending to tell their relatives and friends the good news.

Before long, the news of Zheng Shuangcheng's family being murdered spread throughout the county.

After hearing the news, the people in the city were all excited and set off firecrackers to celebrate the good news.

The streets were filled with laughter and lively conversations, and people's faces were filled with long-lost smiles.

However, in addition to celebrating, more people rushed into the granary with sacks to grab food.

They knew this was a rare opportunity to stock up on food for themselves and their families so they could have enough to eat for a few days.

For a moment, the granary became extremely busy inside and outside, with people scrambling to move grain, and the scene was very spectacular.

Some people also rushed into Zheng Shuangcheng's home to see if there was anything valuable they could take away.

At this time, an army of a thousand people appeared outside the city.

Looking at the noisy county town, the leading general frowned, his heart full of doubts.

He didn't understand why the county town was so noisy, as if something big had happened.

"What's happening up ahead? Why is there so much noise?"

The general asked in a deep voice, a hint of displeasure and caution in his voice.

The deputy general next to him shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the details.

"General, why don't we go over and take a look? We have to meet the county magistrate here anyway to find out what that traitor is up to."

The deputy general suggested.

After hearing what the deputy general said, the general nodded and thought it was a good idea.

So he waved to the army behind him and said loudly: "Follow my orders and march towards the county town!"

As the general's order was issued, the thousand-man army began to move forward in an orderly manner, heading towards the county town.

After entering the county town, the general found a group of people gathered around the granary and scrambled for food.

They rushed to pack the food into sacks, and the scene was in chaos.

Seeing this scene, the general's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Hurry up! Pull these damned bastards away!"

The general spoke angrily to the deputy general beside him, his voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"How dare you rob the granary! Are you planning a rebellion?"

After hearing the general's words, the deputy did not dare to delay and immediately ordered his men to drive the people away.

The soldiers acted quickly, waving their weapons and trying to drive the people who were looting food out of the granary area.

When the people saw the army driving them away, they did not choose to retreat.

On the contrary, he actually resisted.

After all, the food in the granary is their relief food and is related to their survival.

Even if they die, they want to die with a full stomach.

For a moment, the originally chaotic scene became even more intense.

The people took up the tools in their hands as weapons and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the soldiers.

They shouted slogans loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger.

When the general saw that there were still people resisting, his face became even gloomier.

He realized that these people were not so easy to deal with, and if he did not take tough measures, it would be difficult to quell the unrest.

So, without hesitation, he drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at the people who resisted the most fiercely.

"Kill them! These untouchables actually dare to resist! They really don't know how to live or die!"

Following the general's order, several soldiers quickly rushed towards the rebels and killed them on the spot.

Blood splattered on the ground, dyeing the land red.

This scene immediately calmed the people who were there. Seeing the blood-dripping knives in the soldiers' hands, the remaining people fled the scene and dared not to resist anymore.

After dealing with these people, the general frowned and wanted to know what was going on here.
