Domineering

Chapter 207 Shaking Dongzhou (for Subscription)

Shen's two manors are located on the south side of Xishan Town facing the river.

Just before noon, the two manors burst into flames.

Chu Xisheng did not use his own helpers, but forced all the rich and powerful people to attack the Shen's Manor.

Everyone knew his intentions well.

This is a nomination certificate. Once they and the members of the Shen family used swords and saw blood, they would form hatred in the future, and there was no way to turn back. In the future, they could only keep the Xishan Hall wholeheartedly.

This Xishan hall master is young, but his mind is so sinister, so vicious, so vicious that pus oozes from the soles of his feet.

They were unwilling, but Chu Xisheng supervised the battle with [-] gang members and [-] red robes, and [-] swords behind them, so they couldn't help but not do it.

The people in Shen's Manor couldn't believe it at first.

How dare Chu Xisheng act so audaciously to attack the Shen family?

However, when Chu Xisheng's coalition forces of Xianghao invaded the two manors, they did not do anything to resist.They were all defeated by one blow, some were captured, and some fled to Xiushui County.

This time, the Shen family lost three sixth-rank and fifteen seventh-rank dead in Wenjiabao. These two manors had no masters in command, and were extremely empty, so they had no strength to fight against Xishan Hall.

The county lieutenant Shen Zhou himself has never been seen, and no soldiers from the county have come.

This made many township tyrants feel relieved and gradually lost their fear.

Chu Xisheng burned down the Shen family's villa, but Shen Zhou didn't even dare to reveal his face.It can be seen that Xishan Town is strong or weak.

Chu Xisheng secretly regretted that he actually wanted to force this person out of Xiushui City.

This Shen Junwei was far more tolerant than he imagined.

Another thing that Chu Xisheng regretted was that he didn't gain much from these two manors.

There are only eight granaries here, with about 20 shi of grain, more than 2000 taels of silver, various materials worth 3 taels, and weapons estimated at [-] taels.

After all, the Shen family's main house is not in Xishan, this is only the second of his family's seven manors.

However, when Chu Xisheng returned to Xishan Town, there were teams of horse-drawn carriages, sending a large amount of gold, silver and rice into his Chu family mansion, causing the gold, silver and grain inside to pile up into mountains.

All the rich and powerful households did not dare to procrastinate. Not only did they pay this year's taxes in full, but Chu Xi's [-]% fine was a lot of money.

These convoys lined up in and out of the town, causing the gates on all sides to be blocked, almost impenetrable.

The Chu residence also ordered Li Shenshan's subordinates to hang all the prisoners of the Shen family, as well as the group of people who participated in the beating of his house accountant, on both sides of the street in front of the gate, and whip them in public, leaving blood dripping with blood and making them miserable.

This made the drivers, pedestrians, and those rich families who came to pay respects to Chu Xisheng tremble in their hearts and turn pale.

This Hall Master Chu's revenge was extraordinarily fierce, he literally stomped the Shen family's face into the mud.

It was not until the evening that the convoys inside and outside Xishan Town gradually dispersed.

At this time, the gold and silver in Chu Xisheng's hands had reached as high as 5 million taels, the food was 89 shi, and the weapons and various supplies he had captured totaled about 30 taels.

Chu Xisheng sent 50 Shi Chun Fu and 31 head taxes to the county government that night.

Then he returned the 49 taels of magic silver owed.

Chu Xisheng borrowed according to the rule of nine outs and thirteen returns. He borrowed 38 taels and actually got 34 taels, and he had to repay more than 49 taels.

By the way, he also cashed in part of the seized materials through Linhai Zhoujia and Lujia's business names.

Those are materials that are relatively easy to sell, as well as weapons that Xishantang can't use, worth about 19 taels of magic silver.

The rest is not easy to deal with, so Chu Xisheng can only pile them up in the warehouse and sell them slowly later.

There is also rice. At the end of last year, Xiushui County had a bumper harvest. In the entire Dongzhou, only Taishan County was affected by the flood. The rest of the counties had a good harvest, and all the grain was not very easy to sell.

Chu Xisheng could only ask Lu Pingyuan to preside over the repair of five granaries and store the rice first.

In the evening, Lu Pingyuan settled the accounts between Chu Xisheng and the many altar masters of Xishan Hall.

Excluding all debts, taxes, and compensation for the dead and injured, they got a total of 36 taels of silver.

Chu Xisheng directly took out half of the money to share with the brothers, and gave [-]% of it to Zuo Qingyun's four hundred red-robed martial arts, which caused cheers from inside and outside the hall.

Not only did the gang members of Yiying Xishan Hall shout for the benevolence and righteousness of the hall master, but the red-robed martial arts under Zuo Qingyun's command were also overjoyed.

Although they took less, the risk was also small, and it was a surprise to be able to get 90 to [-] taels of magic silver just by following Chu Xisheng around.

For the remaining 14 taels, Chu Xisheng took more than 4 taels himself, and put the rest in the hall account.

This is not his own property, but the money in the hall, the property of all brothers.

Some dark-hearted people might take it all by themselves, but Chu Xisheng's openness and generosity left everyone speechless.

In addition, some supplies and food cannot be realized, so they are not counted for the time being.

This is also the asset in the mouth, which is piled up in the library and sold slowly.

In addition, there are three hundred spears of the magic weapon level, six hundred long and short knives of the magic weapon level, three hundred shields of the magic weapon level, three hundred collars of the leather armor of the magic weapon level, three hundred ten-stone longbows, and three hundred military heavy crossbows. , forty four-arm bed crossbows.

Chu Xisheng pondered that the scale of Xishan Hall and the Iron Banner Gang would have to expand in the future, so these things would not be sold, and they would be kept in the treasury.

In addition, 47 pieces of seventh-rank magic vessels and 110 five pieces of eight-rank magic vessels were seized.

Chu Xisheng took out all these magical artifacts, and let the brothers in the gang choose them based on meritorious service.

Both Li Shenshan and Wei Yang were very happy.

This time, they each shared 2000 taels of magic silver, and each took three seventh-rank magical artifacts that were suitable for them, which gained a lot.

The key is that Chu Xisheng didn't ask them to pay back the money now, but owed it first and paid it back slowly later.

The two of them are already planning to go to the ancient market to buy two secret move totems, so as to restore their fighting power to the old look.

Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng are also very happy.

They also received more than 1000 taels each, and each took a seventh-grade magic weapon.

Although this is seriously inconsistent with their contributions, the two have already taken a wave of spoils in advance.

For those seventh-rank martial artists who died in the hands of the two of them, their magic weapons were hidden in Wenjiabao by the two of them, and they could pick up an opportunity in the next few days to retrieve those things.

As undercover agents, the two had their own sects to support them.

Every sum of money you get in Xishantang is an extra gain, how can you not be happy?
Chu Xisheng also took a magic weapon himself.

This thing is called 'Green Thunder Hands', and it is a pair of gloves. Although the rank is on the seventh rank, the quality and power of this thing are directly comparable to the sixth rank.

The gloves are very light and thin, you can't feel it on your hands, but the protection ability is very good.Not only can it protect Chu Xisheng's fingers from being injured when he shakes the sword head-on, but it can also increase his shooting speed by [-]%, and provide a little power of thunder and wind.

This is a magic weapon customized for 'Zhudianzhi' and 'Wind Chasing Knife', and it is very powerful.

If you take it out and sell it in the ancient market, this thing can be sold for 2 taels of magic silver, which is as expensive as his Xun Feng Zhen Lei Knife, and even more expensive than many lower-rank magic weapons of the sixth rank.

After the magic weapon, there are [-] hectares of land belonging to the Wen family, the Yin family and the Shen family.

Although Chu Xisheng occupied the place in the name of confiscating his citizenship.

But he still had to go through a lot of trouble before he could get the land deed.

It is expected that the county government will also get involved, and Chu Xisheng predicts that it will be very good if he can get one-fifth.

Especially those fields of the Shen family are still struggling.

In fact, Chu Xisheng didn't care much about the fields, let alone managing them.

However, this is an asset anyway, and if you don't take it for nothing, you don't take it for nothing.

It will be sold in the future, which is also a huge sum of money.

This is truly his private property, and the brothers in the hall will not interfere.

After distributing the money and ritual instruments, Chu Xisheng held a banquet in his mansion to celebrate the achievements of the brothers in the gang.

Chu Xisheng took out all the wine stored in the cellar, and found all the chefs in the town, scavenged the livestock in the town, and the game sold by the hunters in the west mountain, and set up more than 100 tables in the house.

The lights inside and outside the hall were brilliant, and more than 1000 people drank to their heart's content, pushing and changing cups with excitement, and the scene was extremely lively.

Some of them are more open-minded, even singing and drinking, singing and laughing.

The noise spread far and wide, and could be heard miles away.

Chu Xisheng first walked through the more than 100 tables of banquets, condolences to all the brothers, and then drank in the backyard with Zuo Qingyun and others who rushed over, as well as more than [-] altar masters and deputy altar masters.

He was still stealing and playing tricks as usual, using low-strength rice wine soaked in water, and only drank half of it, and poured the other half on his chest very boldly.

But that night, Chu Xisheng was still forced unconscious.

Chu Yunyun felt helpless looking at the drunk Chu Xisheng.

But when she looked at the brightly lit and noisy front yard, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, showing a smile.

Although this guy is difficult to deal with when he is drunk, although it is very risky to celebrate at night tonight, he may be attacked by the enemy at night, and it will be a bad idea to counterattack.

However, Chu Yunyun saw that the [-] gang members of Xishan Hall were really squeezed into a ball by Chu Xisheng.

The joy after the big victory, the excitement after getting the money, and the friendship of drinking and eating meat together, and exchanging cups and cups, can make these [-] gang members who have been recruited for less than two months completely return to their hearts, and there will be no barriers between them. .

This little guy has such a wrist at such a young age——

If he was in the northern army, he must be a famous general, worthy of being the descendant of the founding army god of Daning.

At noon the next day, when Chu Xisheng woke up in a daze, and called the altar masters to discuss again, he learned a piece of news from Lu Pingyuan that could shake the entire Dongzhou.

At noon yesterday, Tie Kuangren personally led 230 large ships to head north against the current, sweeping across the seven wharves of the Seventeenth Chain Dock.Finally, in the middle of the night, in the river section near Xunyang County, they encountered [-] large ships in the Seventeenth Lianhuan Dock head-on.

The two sides fought at night on the river, and the battle continued until close to the early morning before the winner was decided.

The 47th Lianhuanwu lost [-] large ships, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured. Ren Daoxing, the leader of the [-]th Lianhuanwu himself, had half of his leg broken by the iron madman and had to dive to escape.

This person practiced water-type martial arts and was proficient in water escape, so even though Tie Kuangren tried his best to pursue him, he couldn't keep him.

After this battle, not only the three water docks in the Seventeenth Lianhuan Pier were wiped out, but also nearly one-third of the docks in Xunyang County were taken down by the Iron Banner Gang.

The water transportation business of the Iron Banner Gang also had to expand three hundred miles upstream.

"It is estimated that our Iron Banner Gang can open up three more outer halls and extend our influence to Xunyang County."

After Lu Pingyuan finished talking about this matter, his expression was full of admiration: "You really deserve to be the 'Iron Blood Buddha' Iron Madman! It is said that this battle was not only mobilized by the Seventeenth Serial Wuju gang, but also the Shen family and Shangguan's fleet. Gang is almost one against two.

Shangguan Shenhao and County Lieutenant Shen Zhou had no choice but to go north overnight to participate in the battle in order to avoid their allies being cut off by the Iron Maniac.In the end, he was defeated by the iron madman. Ren Daoxing broke a foot, and it is said that he could not recover.In the future, even if a mechanical prosthetic leg is connected, the strength will be weakened by [-]%.

It is rumored that the Tie Brothers came from the Chongzhou Naval Camp in the early years, and many ship owners of the Iron Banner Gang were also the remnants of the Chongzhou Naval Camp in the past.This rumor should be true. During this battle, the Iron Banner gang suffered very few casualties. It is said that less than a thousand were killed, and only seventeen ships were sunk.The ability of water battle they showed is far better than Seventeen Lianhuanwu. "

Chu Xisheng was also very impressed.

His side is just fighting with weapons in the countryside, playing small fights.

Iron Maniac is the big scene.

The water battle involving 6 to [-] people can be recorded in the history books in ancient times in another world.

However, the Jianghu gangs in this world are also extremely strong. A local gang can mobilize tens of thousands of horses. It is really prosperous and full of martial arts.

At this time, due to the hangover, his mind was muddled and in pain.

Chu Xisheng could only pull himself together and asked, "What happened in the county town last night?"

He held a banquet to celebrate his success last night, but he wasn't completely unprepared.

The spies under Lu Pingyuan have been paying attention to the movements of the county town and the Xishanwei Army.Chu Xisheng also specially dispatched 40 people from Xizitan and Luanzitan to be on duty at night to guard the four directions.

"There is a slight change in the county." Lu Pingyuan's expression was solemn: "The soldiers of the Long family, the Shen family, and the Shangguan family are all waiting for each other, preparing for the battle at night, but it may be that the patriarch has not returned. The vigilance has been maintained, and the three families have made no further moves.

It is said that the fleets of these three companies also suffered heavy losses upstream, losing more than [-] ships.After the return of Shangguan Shenhao and Shen Zhou, they directly retreated and cultivated in samadhi.The subordinates predict that these three companies will not make any moves in the short term. "

In other words, Chu Xisheng's territory in Xishan Town was stabilized.

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly: "The brothers who were on duty last night worked hard, and each of them will reward another ten taels of magic silver. The two altar masters will each get a hundred taels, and the deputy altar master will get thirty taels. I will give them a good banquet tonight."

After Lu Luanli heard this, the corners of his lips twitched.

She is a dignified five-rank master who is on duty at night, but she can only get a hundred taels of magic silver?

But last night Chu Xisheng had promised in private that he would subsidize her with 5000 taels of magic silver out of his own pocket.

Lu Luanli's resentment calmed down when he thought of the money.

The two deputy altar masters under her command, Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng, also yawned tiredly and looked at each other helplessly.

30 taels of magic silver is not enough for them to take a pill.

For such a small amount of money, they worked hard and worked hard all night.

But this is the price of being an undercover agent. Two dignified seventh-rank martial artists who are qualified to enter the top of Dongzhou Qingyun list are driven like cattle and horses with the money of eighth-rank martial arts.

At this time, Chu Yunyun walked into the hall with a bowl of iced sour plum soup to relieve the hangover.

Chu Xisheng was overwhelmed with flattery, and was even more amazed in his heart. Could it be that Chu Yunyun did it himself?

This is incredible, it is a miracle in the world.

But just as Chu Xisheng reached out to pick it up, the wooden plate shattered with a crack, and the bowl on it fell down suddenly.

Chu Yunyun originally wanted to rescue her, but then she thought that she couldn't expose her real energy in front of everyone, so she could only watch the bowl fall.

Fortunately, Chu Xisheng not only reacted quickly, but his hands were also quick. Before the sour plum soup spilled out, he caught it with one hand.

He smiled and glanced at Chu Yunyun, who was pretty and slightly embarrassed, and said, "Thank you, but this bowl is quite expensive. It is a set of Yongding porcelain that Liu Dingtang bought for a big price. You can change to a wooden bowl next time."

As Chu Xisheng said, he took a sip of sour plum soup.

He felt relieved and thought that this was right.

The iced sour plum soup tastes good and is at the level of our own chef.

Chu Yunyun's face darkened, and she couldn't help clenching her fists.

When Chu Xisheng heard Chu Yunyun's small fist making a crackling noise like soybeans, Chu Xisheng realized that he was a little drifting.

His face froze, and then he continued to ask Lu Pingyuan pretending not to know: "Where is the Xishan Orion, what's going on?"

"Not many responses."

Lu Pingyuan looked calm: "When the news of Wenjiabao being trampled yesterday spread, those hunters in the Western Mountains were agitated for a while, but judging from the words of the leaders of the hunters, although they were panicked, they had no intention of surrendering. Among them Some people are even discussing to expel our family members from the mountain."

Chu Xisheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised.

He originally thought that the six thousand hunters would also follow the wind.

Chu Xisheng then burst out laughing: "How courageous!"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

The many altar masters and deputy altar masters present all looked solemn.
