Chapter 106 Massacre
"We found a good thing in the east courtyard. We don't dare to make the decision without authorization. Let's bring it over to show it to the officials." Pei Ren held a package in his hand, with a snicker on his face that wanted to take credit.

"Come forward and let me take a look first." A guard said.

"Then you have to keep it a secret, this baby is very important." Pei Ren said as he walked forward, continuing to close the distance between the two parties, and stretched out a hand from under the package, as if to unwrap it.

Both guards were attracted by Pei Ren's movements and looked over to see what treasure it was.

"What kind of treasure could it be? If it's really worth a lot of money, you can still send it over." It's human nature, if it's really worth a lot of money, both of them might run away.

"Look if you don't believe me." Pei Ren opened a corner of the package, and the two parties were already within one step of each other.

Suddenly he looked up at the two guards. The hand hidden under the package flipped the package aside, revealing the small hand crossbow in his hand.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two fired at the same time, with two soft roars, and two palm-length crossbow arrows pierced the throats of the two guards respectively.

Pei Ren and the two quickly rushed forward, one hugged the other, covered their mouths with one hand, and gently put them on the ground with the other.

Neither of them sounded a warning until they died.

"Are you still going to let me sleep?" After a lot of trouble, there was some noise, Wang Si cursed in the room.

Pei Ren knew that there was a big difference in tone between himself and the two guards, so he didn't answer.

After stabbing the two guards in the neck, the four men outside the courtyard also followed in. The last one turned around and closed the far door, isolating the courtyard from the outside world.

The two men stepped forward and pushed the two doors together, revealing a gap in the middle. Pei Ren quickly cut off the door bolts with a knife, and the two doors suddenly opened wide.

Without stopping at all, several people rushed into the room quickly, and pressed Wang Si, who had just raised his upper body, back on the bed, while the half-naked woman who had just screamed out was also blocked by the quilt.

"I'll let go of your mouth, don't talk." Pei Ren began to interrogate, very much like Chen Xun.

After saying this, he loosened his grip on his mouth.

"You..." Wang Si just said two words, and Pei Ren covered his mouth again.

He had known for a long time that Wang Si would not be obedient.

puff!

The knife was stabbed directly into Wang Si's left thigh. The pain caused Wang Si to struggle violently, and he whined from his throat.

"Say it again, I let go of your mouth and don't make a sound, can you do it?" Pei Ren asked again.

The quick interrogation was to catch him off guard so that he would not have time to weigh the pros and cons.

The interrogated Wang seemed very understanding and nodded immediately, because Pei Ren controlled his mouth and nose, and the amplitude was very small.

But Pei Ren felt it and let go of his mouth.

"Whatever I ask you now, you just answer."

"Hero, spare your life, please tell me how much money you want..." His mouth was covered again.

puff!

At this time, Wang Xi, whose mouth was released again, didn't dare to say more than a few words. He could only curse in his heart: "This group of thieves are too beasts, and they can't communicate at all."

"Are you Wang Si?"

"I'm."

"Is your father Wang Boyan?" This was to divert attention and make Wang Si's thoughts turn to his father, thinking that these people came to seek revenge because of something his father had done, which would be beneficial to the subsequent interrogation.

"Yes."

"Do you have money?"

"Yes, you can be as many heroes as you want, as long as I don't die." Wang Si quickly seized the opportunity to beg for mercy. "Do you have any friends?" Pei Ren asked.

"Yes, yes! Jiaozi and Qianyin are both there."

In the early years of Song Liguo, "Jiaozi shopkeepers" appeared in Chengdu Mansion to operate cash custody business for merchants carrying huge sums of money.

Later, it developed into a voucher printed on mulberry bark paper for government-business associations, with patterns, passwords, charges, seals, etc. on it, and the denomination was temporarily filled in according to the cash handed in by the recipient, and circulated as a payment voucher.

This is Jiaozi.

In the first year of Tiansheng of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty (1023), the government set up Yizhou Jiaoziwu in Chengdu and issued the earliest banknotes in history - Guanjiaozi.

This is 700 years earlier than Western countries.

Later, due to excessive issuance to supply military supplies, Jiaozi depreciated seriously. Jiaozi, which had been issued for more than 80 years, stopped issuance and was replaced by "Qian Yin".

The unit of Qian Yin is "痼". Although the paper, printing, drawings and seals are all better than Jiaozi, "Qian Yin" does not have a banknote book, is not allowed to be exchanged, and can be issued at will. Therefore, the value of paper coupons has plummeted, and it is basically no longer available now. How much is it worth.

But no matter how worthless it is, it is still easier to carry than gold and silver.

"Where is it hidden?" Lu Hui asked.

"In the cabinet over there, the key is under my headrest." Wang seemed to be very honest in order to survive.

One of his subordinates went over to open the cabinet and pulled out a pile of "banknotes". Most of them were Jiaozi, and they were jointly issued by private merchants. They were basically the same value as gold and silver, and were not comparable to money.

"Hero has already got the money, please spare my life. If it's not enough, I still have more. You can tell me the number, give me time, and I can get it all." Seeing that the thief had taken the money, Wang Shi felt that the atmosphere was He calmed down and boldly continued to beg for mercy.

"You must be more than that." Pei Ren asked again.

"It's really gone. The rest is in cash. It's with the butler. Or I'll have someone bring it to the hero."

Cover your mouth, pfft!
Wang seemed to be unable to hold back the severe pain any longer, and began to groan in pain continuously, trembling even as he spoke.

Afterwards, the interrogation continued, and three more piles of banknotes were successively found in the room, and Wang Si's life was ended just now.

Wang Si never thought until his death that these people would not let him go after taking the money.

Pei Ren looked around, and the faces of the people who came with him were relieved. Watching his enemy die in front of him, it felt really good to have a great revenge.

Pei Ren came here, on the one hand, he didn't want Wang Si to die happily, and on the other hand, he wanted to collect some money. Otherwise, at dawn tomorrow, the people in the yard would find that Wang Si was dead, and the money in the house might be easier for them.

The few people did not behead Wang Si, but took only the collected banknotes, found a shortcut, and dug them out.

……

The next morning, as soon as Chen Xun woke up, he received intelligence from the city.

Wang seems dead.happy! !

Regarding the officials of the Song Dynasty, what Chen Xun hated most was Wang Si.Chenjiazhuang had been quietly getting rich and accumulating strength. After the Jingkang crisis happened, it would be much easier for them to take advantage of the situation and start an uprising.

Now, because this Wang seems to be blind and insists on trying to seize Chenjiazhuang's family property, Chen Xun has to get up early.

What was originally a simple dungeon was changed to hell difficulty. Are you angry?
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has always been a tradition: to be as soft as a dog to the outside world and as fierce as a tiger to the inside.

In fact, saying that he is as soft as a dog is a bit insulting to a dog.

Originally, Chen Xun could try the strategy of "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman will benefit", but now he had to face the Song Dynasty's strategy of "reconciling foreign affairs before settling at home".

It's all because of this Wang Si.

Fortunately, I didn't let him run away, which relieved the hatred in my heart a little.
