Chapter 278: You beat and smashed my house, you have to pay me
Song Laosan's moves suddenly became fierce and swift, with a kind of weirdness that made it hard to understand. Every move he made left an afterimage. I thought it was on the left, but in a blink of an eye it was on the right.
Dayong knew that Song Laosan wanted to end the battle quickly and capture him as soon as possible.
The martial arts books that the Yang brothers gave to the Qiao family also contain powerful killer moves that can be used when encountering strong enemies.
He dodged Song Lao San and was hit by two punches, which almost suffocated him.
Suddenly he roared, stamped his feet, pressed on a branch of the osmanthus tree, and flew up more than half a meter high.
Then he spun around and did a flip in mid-air, clamping his legs around Song Laosan's shoulders.
Then there were a few more spins, and Song Lao San was spinning around.
Song Laosan felt dizzy, but his hands were still swinging fists out of inertia.
Dayong stretched out his arm and borrowed another branch, then jumped up a distance, then exerted all his strength with his feet and slammed them hard on the ground.
Song Laosan fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
He turned sideways, spat out a mouthful of blood, and tried to get up with an angry look on his face, but found that he could not move at all.
Dayong stood firmly and looked at the person who fell to the ground as if he were an animal.
"Song Lao San, you can't even beat one of the men in our Qiao family, let alone seven."
Song Laosan gritted his teeth, but was helpless.
Qiao Jianer squatted down and searched Song Laosan's body.
"What are you doing?" Song Lao San asked angrily.
"What are you doing? Your people have been beating and smashing my house. They've destroyed at least five taels of silver. You have to pay for it."
As he spoke, he took off the purse from Song Laosan's waist and opened it. Inside were a ten-liang silver note, a five-liang silver note, a handful of silver coins, and a string of copper coins.
The total is about twenty taels.
"There are exactly five taels, just enough to pay compensation." Qiao Jianer said as he put the purse away.
If you want to be a robber in front of the Qiao family, I'm sorry, the Qiao family is the leader of the robbers.
Many villagers came to the door and felt very happy when they saw this scene.
"Okay." I don't know who took the lead, but everyone applauded.
Song Laosan was so angry that his face turned blue. He felt the anger surging in his chest and almost fainted.
He returned home in glory today, bringing so many people with him to collect taxes, looking arrogant and extremely noble.
He wanted everyone to envy him, fear him, and kneel at his feet.
I never thought that I would fall so hard and suffer such a huge loss.
He looked towards the door angrily, trying to remember the appearance of those villagers, and the villagers dispersed.
The soldiers carried out the Qiao family's food and piled it in the yard.
"Report to the captain, the Qiao family's food is here."
Song Lao San was also helped up. Looking at the less than 200 kilograms of food, he frowned and said, "Is that all?"
"Yes, we've searched all the houses, both the old and new, even the beams. There's no basement."
Last night, the villagers hid food in the mountains, and the camp had people keeping an eye on the situation, but no one saw the Qiao family go up the mountain.
I thought the Qiao family had no sense of crisis, but it turned out that there was not much food at home.
"What about the silver? How much is it?"
Song Laosan turned his head and looked, expecting someone to come out carrying a box full of silver.
After all, Old Lady Song told him that the Qiao family probably only had a few hundred or a thousand taels.
One of the leaders stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay only a pitiful three taels of silver. His face showed an expression of distress and confusion.
"Captain, we only found this little. We found it in a secret compartment in the wall. We even climbed onto the roof and looked under every tile and felt under the thatch. We checked the ground carefully, but there's no hole where the money is hidden."
Song Laosan looked at the pitiful three taels and thought of the twenty taels he had lost, and his dark blue face twitched.
"Impossible, how could the Qiao family be so poor if they could build such a large yard?"
He glared at the Qiao family: "Where did you hide the money? Tell the truth. This is an order from above. Everyone must strictly follow it. Otherwise, General Chu can't protect you."
Qu Jiantou also came in with his men. He was also surprised to see that the Qiao family had so little silver and grain.
"How can it be so little?"
"I told you, Chief Supervisor Qu, the Qiao family couldn't possibly have only this little stuff. They must have made preparations long ago."
Qu Jiantou frowned: "What's going on?"
He had wanted to bring people here just now, but the situation between the two sides had become so serious that he thought about it and decided not to get involved in the mess for the time being.
Song Lao San's attitude clearly shows that he wants to take over the Qiao family.
Although he represents the face of the royal family, the capital is far away from here, and the generals are not subject to military orders outside the capital. If the local camp becomes difficult, it will be difficult for him to escape.
But there are benefits, and he wants to make some money.
"Sir, we did earn money, but we used it all to build a new yard, and now we have no money left," said Qiao Lianer.
"The grain was also sold to buy some supplementary materials for the new hospital."
For example, pebbles for paving the road, paint on pillars, doors and windows, etc.
She returned to her room and pulled out an account book: "All the expenses are detailed in it. No falsification is allowed."
Qu Jiantou opened the account book and slowly turned the pages from the first to the last, reading it in detail. Indeed, there was no problem.
The last time he came, he saw the Qiao family building a new yard with three construction teams working together. He should have thought that this girl was so smart and had her own predictions about the future, so she could make defenses accordingly. He would not get anything good from coming to the Qiao family.
Song Laosan snatched the account book away.
In order to be worthy of General Guan's daughter, he worked hard to learn how to write and read, so he could read the account books smoothly.
He looked at it more carefully than Qu Jiantou, trying to find out what was wrong.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Song Laosan got angry, roared, and threw the account book to the ground.
I didn't get anything today and made a big joke, which made the Qiao family very happy.
"Since we are going to collect 70%, you can't take away all these three taels of silver and two hundred kilograms of grain," said Old Mrs. Qiao.
Boss Qiao: "That's right. Leave one ounce out of three ounces, and sixty pounds out of two hundred pounds. The extra twenty percent is considered to be in compliance with the rules of our Qiao family. You can take it and divide it among yourselves."
Seeing that Song Lao San had no intention of giving up the money and grain, Qiao Lao Er took the lead and rushed forward, snatching away a tael of silver.
And moved some of the food home.
"Captain Song, the Qiao family only has so much stuff. Even if you ask them to take out more, they won't have anything to take. Even if we're done here, we should hurry up and collect taxes from other villages. We've been delayed here for too long today." Although Chu Zhuo was serious, he looked as if he had seen a joke.
Song Laosan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, took two steps and almost fell down again.
Qu Jiantou was also a little unwilling, but thinking about the strawberries he had eaten, he decided to just consider it as compensation.
Many people will never get to eat that kind of thing in their entire life.
After passing this hurdle, the Qiao family man was ready to go to the camp to register with his close subordinate named Xiaoshi.
