Chapter 210 The Destruction of Shanxi Merchants

Zhao Wen looked at Fan Fu with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Hmph, originally I was thinking of collecting evidence to justifiably take down your Shanxi merchants, but I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect that you would count on me.

That's fine, there's no need to look for evidence, I've already thought it out for you.Inciting cement factory workers to riot, intending to rebel. Zhao Wen looked at Fan Fu who was kneeling on the ground, then turned around, and said to Zhao Daniu who was behind him: "Give me an order to transfer the Qinweiying and Song Hu, a total of 2000 people, and go directly to Datong Town."

Also, send this Fan Fu directly to Cao Huachun.At the same time, tell the defenders of the cement factory to take people directly according to the list that Fan Fu said. "

"Obey!" Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen with excitement shining in his eyes.

Fan Fu knelt on the ground and looked at Zhao Wen in horror, "My lord, the little one has already said, can you spare the little one?"

"Forgive you? Hehe, I think so too, but who made you Jin merchants greedy?" Zhao Wen looked at Fan Fu and said with a gloomy expression.

A few days later, a group of Longmen Army soldiers in bright armor arrived in Datong Town.

Prior to this, after Cao Huachun got Fan Fu, he quickly let go of everyone in his hands and went to monitor Shanxi merchants.

Moreover, Cao Huachun found an excuse to transfer all the officers of the guards in Datong Town.

Shanxi merchants are deeply rooted in Datong Town, and they also have a very large influence in the army.If the house was ransacked, in case these guards were instigated by Shanxi merchants, they would probably give these Shanxi merchants time to escape.

Three days before the arrival of the new year, Cao Huachun and Zhao Wen sat in a room in the post house.

"General Zhao, when will we do it?" Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Wen sneered and said, "We will do it at midnight tonight. By the way, is there any news from the person you sent to monitor Shanxi Merchants?"

"There is news that it will be the new year soon. All the shopkeepers and collateral personnel of the Shanxi merchants have returned to their ancestral houses to prepare for the new year. This time is a good time to catch them all.

I have to say that these Shanxi merchants are really happy. The entire Datong Town has been bought out by these guys. Now they are still preparing for the New Year, but they don't know that disaster is approaching. "

Cao Huachun picked up a cup of hot tea and sipped it.A weird smile appeared on his face.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the whole room fell into silence.The crackling sound of the burning candles in the room kept going. Zhao Wen sat on the chair and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

There were soldiers in bright armor coming and going in the post house, and they went outside in groups.

"My lord, the time is up." Song Hu rushed in from the outside, and said to Zhao Wen with an excited face.

Zhao Wen slapped the table and stood up from the chair.

"Are there any changes in the various families of Jin merchants?" Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu and asked in a deep voice.

"Return to my lord, there is no change." Song Hu replied.

Zhao Wen looked at Cao Huachun and said in a deep voice, "Elder-in-law, I'm going!"

After Zhao Wen said that, before Cao Huachun could react, he went outside directly.

There are no other people on the streets of Datong Town except for the lanterns hung by the door of rich people.

The dog in the deep alley heard the movement outside, howled a few times, and then lay down in the den again without moving.

Zhao Wen rode on the horse and headed for the ancestral house of the Fan family.

The horse's hoof stepped on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound.

There are more than 100 soldiers with live ammunition behind Zhao Wen.

At the same time, other ancestral houses of Shanxi merchants were slowly surrounded by the Longmen army.

Zhao Wen rode a horse and stopped in front of the gate of the Fan family.

At this time, Fan Yongdou was sitting in the hall, scolding Fan Hua with a sullen face, "What did you do? Why hasn't the cement plant been blown up yet?"

Fan Hua said with a worried face: "Father, Fan Fu should be arrested. When I handed over the decision to blow up the cement factory to Fan Fu, countless soldiers and horses appeared in the entire Xuan Town the next day, arresting them wantonly. I saw the momentum No, hurriedly disguised and ran out."

"Oh, you are really not prudent in doing things." Fan Yongdou pointed to Fan Hua's nose and said helplessly.

Looking at the closed gate, Zhao Wen said in a deep voice, "Break open the gate for me, and tie up everyone inside. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed immediately."

As soon as Zhao Wen's voice fell, a soldier rushed out from behind carrying 40 fire.

Zhao Wen stepped back dozens of steps on his horse.

"Fire!"

Zhao Wen pointed at the door and shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, 40 Huo let out a shrill cry, and a rocket flew towards the gate with lightning speed.

"Oh!"

After a loud noise, the gate of Fan Mansion was directly blown down.

Zhao Wen looked at the blasted door and shouted in a deep voice, "Come on!"

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the soldiers behind rushed in.

Fan Yongdou was reprimanding Fan Hua, when he suddenly heard the sound of explosions and shouts of killing, he didn't know what happened for a moment, he suddenly stood up from his chair, looked outside, and shouted in a deep voice: "Why? thing?"

As soon as the words fell, 56 and a half gunshots rang out.

"Kneel down and hold your head, or you will be killed without mercy!" When the Longmen army rushed into Fan's mansion, a dozen servants rushed out after hearing the movement. They held sticks and looked at the rushing Longmen army. I froze in place.

Where did this army come from?
"Kneel down and hold your head, or you will be killed without mercy!" The soldiers of the Longmen Army looked at these servants who were still stunned, and shouted again.

But these servants have been frightened, how can they listen to the words of the Longmen army?

"Fire!"

The soldiers of the Longmen Army looked at these unmoved servants and directly pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunshots rang out one after another, and many servants who rushed out were killed in an instant.

Fan Laosi led dozens of Lianjiazi and rushed out from behind.

He looked at the Longmen Army who were slaughtering the servants, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do? This is the Shanxi merchant Fan's family. Do you want to rebel?"

"The Shanxi businessman Fan's family incited workers to riot, intending to rebel, and now the evidence is solid, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"

A Longmen army looked at Fan Laosi, roared, and then pulled the trigger of the 56 and a half in his hand.

A bullet directly hit Fan Laosi's head, knocking his skull away.

Seeing this scene, Lian Jiazi, who was following Fan Lao Si, hurriedly fled to the rear.

"Dare to resist those who escape, kill Wushe, kill me!"

Zhao Wen walked in through the broken gate. He looked at the fleeing servant and shouted in a deep voice.

In an instant, gunshots rang out continuously, and the servants who rushed out were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

The Longmen army rushed into the front yard, and as soon as they saw someone holding a weapon, no matter who it was, they opened fire directly.

After a short effort, the entire front yard of Fan Mansion was full of corpses.

Fan Yongdou finally understood that although Fan Yongdou had never heard the gunfire of the Longmen Army, he had heard it.It was highly recognizable, and when he heard the gunshot, he understood it instantly.

With a terrified expression on his face, he pulled Fan Hua and led dozens of gathered desperadoes towards the backyard.

"Zhao Wen, the white-eyed wolf, led the army to attack us. Wait, if I escape, I will mobilize all Shanxi merchant officials to impeach him." Fan Yongdou walked towards the back door with a look of horror.

But when he ran to the back door, he found that the back door had already been blocked by soldiers of the Longmen Army.

He looked at the Longmen Army soldiers at the back door, narrowed his eyes, and hurried towards the front yard again.

At this time, the Longmen army attacking from the gate had already occupied the entire front yard and came towards the back yard.

Fan Yongdou ran into the Longmen army rushing up within a few steps.

After seeing Fan Yongdou, the Longmen army guarding the back door hurriedly chased after him.

A moment later, Fan Yongdou was trapped in a small courtyard by the Longmen Army attacking from both front and back.

Fan Yongdou leaned against the gate of the small courtyard, and said in panic, "It's over, it's over, it's really over now."

Surrounded by soldiers, Zhao Wen came to the outside of the small courtyard.

If Zhao Wen hadn't said that he wanted to catch them alive, the wolf-like Longmen army would have blasted the small yard to scum with 40 fires.

The soldiers of the Longmen Army originally wanted to jump over the wall and enter, but there were dozens of desperadoes gathered by Fan Yongdou in this small courtyard. They held bows and arrows and pointed at the wall.

Several Longmen Army soldiers who had just climbed up the courtyard wall were shot down directly by them.

If it weren't for the excellent armor of the Longmen Army, they might really be shot to death by them.As for using 40 fire to blow up the wall, but I was afraid that Fan Yongdou would be killed accidentally, so I didn't use it.

Anyway, now the entire Fan Mansion has been captured, and Fan Yongdou has been blocked inside, so it's not too late.

"My lord, the man in the portrait you gave us is inside." A soldier of the Longmen Army put away the 56 and a half, pointed to the small courtyard, and said to Zhao Wen.

Before setting off, Zhao Wen passed on the portraits of all the heads of the Eight Shanxi Merchants, with the purpose of catching them alive.

Zhao Wen nodded at the soldier, and then shouted loudly at the small courtyard: "Fan, you've got something wrong, come out quickly, or I'll blow you to death inside."

Fan Yongdou leaned against the gate and said in a trembling voice: "Dream, kill me if you have the ability. Only I know where the wealth accumulated by the Fan family over the years is. If you kill me, you will never get the money. "

"Hehe, are you still stubborn? Without you, the butcher king, would I have to eat pigs with hair?" Zhao Wen sneered, and then said: "Don't use firearms, find me a beam, and directly smash the gate open. I don't believe that this gate is stronger than the city gate."

Zhao Wen gave an order, and the Longmen army next to him directly picked up 40 fires in their hands and knocked down a small pavilion.

They pulled out a pillar from the collapsed small pavilion, and then they hugged each other and slammed into the gate of the small courtyard.

"Bang bang bang!"

The pillar hit the door with a muffled sound.

The desperado leaning against the gate blocked the gate, his face flushed, and he pushed the gate firmly.

A moment later, with a loud noise, the gate of the yard was directly knocked down by the Longmen army. Looking at the knocked down gate, Zhao Wen said excitedly, "Come on, sword and shield soldiers, and capture that old man Fan Yongdou alive."

Fan Yongdou looked at the collapsed gate, and hurriedly ran a few steps back. He looked at the Dragon Gate Saber and Shield soldiers rushing in, and hurriedly shouted at the desperadoes: "Come on, kill one and reward 100 taels of silver. Those who take me out will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver."

When those desperadoes heard this reward, their eyes immediately turned red.

They waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the sword and shield soldiers.

But how could they be the opponents of the sword and shield soldiers?They didn't even last a round, and more than half of them were hacked to death by the sword and shield soldiers.

"I surrender, I won't fight anymore, I surrender." A desperado with a scar on his face threw the knife in his hand directly to the ground, knelt down with his head in his hands, and said with a panicked expression.

Seeing this, those desperadoes who were still resisting also threw down their weapons and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

It is a good thing to earn money, but you also have to have life.

Fan Yongdou looked at those desperadoes who surrendered one after another, and scolded: "You bastards, I spent so much money, why did you just surrender like this?"

"Kneel and surrender, kneel and surrender!"

The Longmen Saber and Shield Soldiers bypassed the kneeling desperado, surrounded Fan Yongdou, and roared angrily at him.

"I don't kneel!"

Fan Yongdou let out an angry roar, and looked at the Sword and Shield Soldiers with an angry face, which seemed to be a bit of a generous and tragic song.

"Don't kneel? Come on, brothers!"

A chief banner officer looked at Fan Yongdou, sneered, and then took the shield and threw it directly at Fan Yongdou's knee.

"Pfft!"

Fan Yongdou was directly smashed to the ground, and the surrounding sword and shield soldiers immediately took out ropes and tied him up like a pig.

When Fan Yongdou was dragged out, a soldier who cleaned up Fan's residence came to Zhao Wen, "My lord, Fan's residence has been cleaned up, all family members have been gathered in the front yard, and those who dared to resist were killed by us." .”

Zhao Wen nodded, then pointed to Fan Yongdou and Fan Hua and said, "Let me escort them all to the front yard. As for those desperadoes, just kill them directly."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the soldiers holding 56 and a half directly pulled the trigger on those desperadoes.

Not only the Fan family, but other families of Shanxi merchants are also performing this scene.

When the sun began to jump out of the ground, Zhao Wen looked at Fan Yongdou kneeling in the front yard, and asked in a deep voice, "Would you like to tell me or not? Where is the money hidden?"

After Zhao Wen gathered all the captured people in the front yard, he sent people to search the entire Fan Mansion, but the results were unbelievable.

After searching for a long time, only more than 1 taels of silver were found.Such a small amount of money could not possibly be the property of the Fan family.

"Hmph, aren't you amazing? Go search, if you can find it, I'll take your last name." Fan Yongdou knelt on the ground and said angrily.

"You don't say it? From now on, if you don't say it, then I will kill someone every half an hour until you say it."

Zhao Wen pulled out the big black star on his waist, and looked at Fan Yongdou with a gloomy expression.

"No comment!" Fan Yongdou was still stubborn and refused to say anything.

Seeing this posture, Zhao Wen directly placed the big black star on Fan Hua's forehead.

"Speak or not?"

"Do not say?"

Seeing this, Fan Hua cried bitterly: "Father, save me, tell me quickly, I don't want to die yet."

"Shut up, you rebellious thing, these family properties have been accumulated by our Fan family for hundreds of years, they can't just be destroyed in my hands." Fan Yongdou looked at Fan Hua and yelled loudly.
