As soon as Zhao Guijun's meeting was over, he didn't even drink any wine, and rushed back to his scout team.

The scouts were the first to enter the village, and they were successful, so they preemptively occupied a courtyard in the village that was second only to the Juyi Hall.At this moment, the scouts are cooking mutton in a large pot in the yard.

Some team members are counting the trophies they have snatched, such as copper coins and silk, gold and silver jewelry, etc.Everyone has grabbed a lot of things, and they will be happy while ordering.

Some people were commenting on each other's trophies, and some even traded directly on the spot.

Zhao Gui strode in, but everyone didn't pay much attention.

Looking across the crowd, Zhao Gui's face was gloomy.

He walked to the side of the pot, picked up the shovel and knocked on the edge of the pot a few times.

"Come here, I have something to say."

Everyone lazily rolled up their trophies with their bags, carried them on their backs, and gathered slowly.

"The lamb stewed in the pot is delicious, right?"

Zhao Gui asked.

The person in charge of the stewed mutton is Youzi, a veteran who has followed Zhang Xutuo for a long time. He used to be a butcher, and he is an expert at slaughtering pigs and sheep, and he is also good at cooking.

"This sheep is very fat. It's a whole sheep. I put some radishes in it and stewed it. The soup is guaranteed to be delicious. I also cooked two large pots of corn and rice. I can have a full meal tonight. I guarantee that you will even eat your tongue." I can’t wait to bite down and eat.”

50 people, one sheep, and two large pots of millet and rice are indeed enough for a delicious meal.

Zhao Guidao, "Other soldiers don't get such good treatment. One team can eat a sheep. Do you know why we have a sheep?"

"Of course it's because we broke the village and made meritorious service."

"That's right, we did meritorious service and showed our faces in front of everyone."

"What's a mere small village, let's do the same next time." Someone said.

Zhao Gui snorted, "Is everyone happy now?"

"There is mutton and rice stewed in the pot, and each of you has a lot of harvest on your back."

"Captain Zhao, what are you going to say?" someone asked.

"What are you talking about? Tell me something that embarrasses me. Originally, we won the first opener today, which is a shameful thing. But after someone broke the village, for some money, my brothers fought and lost the lottery."

"Zhao Laosi, Liu Ada, you two come out to me!"

The two people whose names were called came out angrily. At this time, their faces were still a little bruised. These two people were the ones who had fought for a golden hairpin before.

"For some money, do something to your brothers, have you grown up?"

"Captain Zhao, we were confused for a moment, so we don't dare anymore."

"Don't dare? Why don't you dare? Do you fucking know that I just went to the military conference hall to drink in a hurry, but in the end, I was ridiculed by everyone for our scout team, and I was completely disgraced by you. "

"Do you know what the captain told me just now? They said that we can fight against our brothers for a golden hairpin now, maybe next time we will dare to draw a sword for a woman, and next time, maybe we will dare to do anything gone."

"Don't dare next time, don't dare again." Liu Ada said hurriedly.

"Fucking next time, do you still want a next time?" Zhao Gui asked.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Captain Zhao, don't lose your temper when it's a small matter." Cook Wang persuaded.

"This is not a trivial matter. The captain said that the dike of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. A small matter today will be a big event tomorrow. So he made a rule. From now on, private plundering and possession are prohibited. Originally, the captain said this time it would be fine." Yes, but I said, I will ask you to hand over everything when you come back.”

"Now, take out all the things you robbed!"

Everyone looked at each other.

The thing that was finally snatched is not warm in the hand, so why should it be handed over?
"Captain Zhao, it's not easy, brothers." Cook Wang continued to persuade.

"To shut up!"

"I know you're not happy, but the state has state laws, and the military has military regulations. The captain has set military regulations that prohibit private plundering and possession, so we can't violate it."

"Why?" Someone finally shouted.

"Yes, why?"

"I snatched it myself, why should I hand it over?"

The members of the scout team were not convinced.

There were 50 scouts in the scout team, half of them were young scouts from the former township regiment, and nearly half of them were from the county soldiers in Licheng. These people were especially loud.

"Since this is a county barracks, it's a barracks and not a bandit den, do you really think that staying in Yangjiao Village will make you a bandit?"

"But we are not convinced!"

"The captain established the rules, and there is a reason for it. First of all, the capture is returned to the public, not because you have no share." Lao Liu announced the specific method of capturing and dividing the spoils in public.

"Now you hand in the things, and you will be rewarded later."

"But only part of the reward!" Someone said.

"It is true that only a part of the reward is given, but have you ever thought about it? You will also get a share of what other brothers seized in the future. Even if you are unfortunately hacked to death and injured, then your family can also get a share." A pension, wouldn't it be better?"

Some people are still reluctant to part with the loot they have already obtained.

"Then forget it this time, can't you start from next time?"

"Do you want to bargain with me?" Zhao Gui became fierce, and the scar on the half of his face turned purple, very ferocious.

"I'm just not convinced!"

Finally someone stood up.

Zhao Gui stepped forward, "I know you have always been a little dissatisfied with me, so I took the opportunity to shout out today. In this way, I won't use my official position to pressure you. Let's compare here. If you lose, then you will be defeated." Hand over all the money you have hidden, and you have to obediently obey Lao Tzu's military orders in the future, if Lao Tzu loses."

"How?" the man asked.

"If I lose, I will ask the captain to resign and recommend you to be the leader of the scout team, and I will be your deputy."

"it is good!"

That man was a veteran from the barracks of Juncheng County, and he was quite capable.He has always looked down on Zhao Gui, a rural hunter, now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

All are hot tempered.

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, everyone in the yard got out of the way, and the two started fighting.

No weapons were used, just bare-handed sparring.

There was a burst of sparring, punching to the flesh.

After a while, the two separated, both with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Zhao Gui spat blood to one side, and shouted with red eyes, "Come again!"

The man bit the bullet and took the move.

After a while, the two separated again.

At this time, both of them were out of breath, and there were more injuries on their bodies.

But Yuegui, like a red-eyed bull, shouted again to continue.

The man looked at Zhao Gui's ferociousness, and felt timid in his heart.

"I'm done."

"do not fight!"

Zhao Gui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Come again!"

"No more fights, really no more fights, if you continue to fight, people will die. You are the boss, and I will listen to you from now on."

Seeing that the hardest thorns in the team had subdued, Zhao Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, take out all the privately hidden spoils of war and register them, and then send them to the king's office to enter the account. I am here to remind you that anyone who dares to return the privately hidden treasures will bear the consequences!"

A group of scouts always lowered their heads, and listlessly began to dig out their privately hidden spoils.

Nobody hides anything!
