Chapter 385 Looting
Xian Dao did not expect that the county magistrate, a scholar, would be so angry that he would beat someone. Unprepared, he was kicked to the ground by the magistrate.
The pian saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the two people up and prepare to leave. At this moment, the master rushed in in panic:
"Sir... Sir, please think of a way to escape. A large number of bandits have entered the city. I heard there are thousands of them. They have started looting throughout the city..."
"Thousands of people?"
The county magistrate, Viscount Huang Guang, saw his eyes turn black and almost fainted, while Rich Man Li was already paralyzed on the ground, completely frightened.
They are all a group of officials and landlords who only know how to bully the people. They are really helpless against the bandits and can only tremble in fear.
It took a moment for the county magistrate to react and hurriedly shouted to the instructor and the official:
"Quickly...quickly ask someone to protect me and evacuate..."
When they heard that the county magistrate asked them to protect them and escape, the instructor and the clerk felt that their own lives were more important, so they turned around and ran away.
"Bang..."
As soon as I escaped from the door, I bumped into several people. The attackers were so powerful that they were knocked into the hall again. They fell so hard that stars appeared in their eyes.
Concentrating on escaping, they hurriedly got up and wanted to continue running away, but found that the door had been blocked by a group of people, and the two of them suddenly collapsed on the ground with their legs weak...
Liu Guoneng stepped into the hall, followed by a dozen bandits armed with weapons. There was still darkness outside the door, at least two hundred people.
"Grandpa, have mercy on me. I am just an ordinary servant of the county government. These two are the county magistrate and my father-in-law, Mr. Li. Please have mercy on me, grandpa..."
Seeing a tall gangster entering the hall with his men, the instructor and the official immediately kowtowed in front of them and begged for mercy, and sold the county magistrate and Rich Man Li.
In fact, they didn't need to tell Liu Guoneng that the man in official uniform in front of him was the county magistrate, but he just didn't know the second richest man in Gong County.
Seeing that the instructor and the pawnbroker had sold them, Huang Guang and Rich Man Li immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and were willing to redeem themselves with money:
"Grandpa, spare your life. Just ask for as much money as you want. Please don't hurt my life..."
"Grandpa, please forgive me. As long as grandpa lets the villain go, the villain can give you fifty thousand taels of silver..."
The two deputy chiefs standing behind Liu Guoneng frowned when they saw that the county magistrate was so greedy for life and fearful of death. They immediately raised their hands and said to Liu Guoneng:
"Boss, if you kill them, all the money will be ours..."
"Mr. Li should be very rich. Otherwise, how can we call Mr. Li? Come and bring Mr. Li over and kill the others on the spot."
Before Liu Guoneng could finish his words, two of his deputy chiefs stepped forward and chopped off the head of Gong County Magistrate Huang Guang with a knife. Rich Man Li screamed and fainted.
Two government officials came forward and dragged Rich Man Li to Liu Guoneng. Someone immediately brought a basin of water and poured it on Rich Man Li's face.
Rich Man Li cleverly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the head of his uncle. Rich Man Li yelled and fainted again...
Another basin of cold water was poured on Rich Man Li's face, and the biting cold water woke him up again. Two deputy leaders, Zhang San and Li Si (pseudonyms), stepped forward and put a knife on Rich Man Li's neck and said:
"rich man Li, since he is called a rich man and is the county magistrate's uncle, your family should have a lot of hard goods. Get up and take grandpa to your house to play!"
"The weather was about ten degrees below zero. Rich Man Li was soaked and shivering from the cold. He nodded hurriedly after hearing Zhang San and Li Si's words:
"Okay, as long as grandpa can spare his life, I can let the villain do whatever I want..."
Zhang San and Li Si bowed their hands to Liu Guoneng and immediately left with Rich Man Li.
Zhang San and Li Si were the second and third most powerful people under Liu Guoneng. After joining the team, they began to recruit nearby bandits and train and manage them.
More than three thousand rogue bandits have soared in combat effectiveness under his training. They have long wanted to go down the mountain to show off their skills, but have been rejected. Today they finally found the opportunity to enter Gong County.
Zhang San and Li Si led their men to raid Rich Master Li's house. Liu Guoneng stepped forward and grabbed the Gongxian magistrate and the official who were scared to death and said:
"You should know which house in the county has more money and food. If you want to survive, you have to lead the rebels to ransack the house, otherwise they will be hacked to death immediately!"
As soon as the instructors and officials heard that there was a chance of survival, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed:
"Thank you, grandpa. My grandson will lead you right away..."
Liu Guoneng called over a rebel leader with a wave of his hand and said:
"Take two hundred people to follow them and search the house. The others immediately started searching the dog officer's money and food!"
"Got the order!"
The little leader handed over the order and then led his men to escort the two low-ranking officials out of the county government office. The other gangsters immediately began to search Huang Guang's back house...
Liu Guoneng led more than 3,000 rogue bandits to occupy Gongxian County for three days. They kept searching for money and food from the gentry and landlords in the city, but no Henan army came to support them.
Luoyang is very close, and there are large troops stationed in the city, but they have no idea about the situation in Gong County, which cannot but show that the intelligence capabilities of the late government and army are really unflattering.
These three days were really like the end of the world for the large households of the gentry and landlords in Gong County. They initially wanted to unite against the government to inventory the land, but they had no power to resist the rogue bandits.
After looting all the wealthy households in Gong County, Liu Guoneng led his army to successfully attack Yanshi County again, and looted all the wealthy gentry and landlord households in Yanshi County before withdrawing to the mountains with money and food.
Liu Guoneng looted two counties in succession, almost exterminating the gentry and landlords in these two counties, but rarely harmed the poor.
When they first entered the city, the people in the city were trembling at first, but gradually they discovered something.
As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke the bandits, the bandits will never attack ordinary people easily. They only attack the rich, and even the rich with good reputations can survive...
The story of the looting of the two county towns quickly spread throughout Henan, and the people in the counties that had not been looted began to secretly pray that Liu Guo would come to attack the county where they were located.
As long as the rogue bandits only attack wealthy households, just like they looted Heyanshi in Gong County, the common people can also get a share of the profits.
At least there is hope that some land that has lost its owner can be regained, and at least those dog officials and gentry landowners can no longer oppress them.
Gradually, Liu Guoneng and his bandits became heroes...
The prefect of Luoyang was furious after the incident. They had no idea that such a big thing happened under his rule.
Are all the commanders stupid? Are the more than 10,000 troops in Luoyang City just decorations?
The prefect Li Zhaonian scolded his officials bloody...
Seeing that the prefect was furious, they all ordered Xu Dingguo to bow down and salute:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that the army is ignoring you. It's just that there are many reasons..."
"That's bullshit reason. Just wait and explain it to the Ministry of War and the Emperor. I've been harmed by you too..."
Xu Dingguo could only bow down and explain again:
"Sir, this time the bandits are different from any other time. Not only do their combat capabilities soar, they also have their own tactics and even send out multiple scouts to roam nearby.
There was almost no difference between these scouts and ordinary people, but when they found out that the government had sent out scouts, they immediately attacked the government scouts, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
Our people can't get close enough to get intelligence. If they don't get accurate information, they will definitely defend Luoyang and not dare to send troops rashly.
Otherwise, once Luoyang was attacked by surprise and something unexpected happened to King Fu, the emperor would definitely go on a killing spree, and both the army generals and the prefects would definitely be in trouble.
General Mo really has his own reasons for doing this. If you want to blame me, you can only blame Mr. Lu Xiangsheng and Mr. Hong Chengchou."
Liu Guoneng was driven to northern Shaanxi by them a long time ago, why did he suddenly appear in Henan?"
