    We arrived at the Taiping Army's men's and women's camp next to Liuyang Gate. This place is bounded by Liuyangmen Main Street. The residential areas on Dongzheng Street to the south are where the women's camp is located, and the residential areas along Beizheng Street to the north are where the men's camp is located.  Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er went separately. Xiao Yungui went to the men's camp, and Hong Yun'er went to the women's camp. The men's and women's camps felt as distinct as going to the toilet.

    Arriving at the camp, Xiao Yungui met Xiao Chaogui¡¯s biological father Jiang Wanxing, adoptive father Xiao Yusheng, and nominal father-in-law Huang Weizheng. He also met Xiao Chaogui¡¯s two brothers surnamed Jiang and two brothers surnamed Xiao.

    Jiang Wanxing was a typical nagging old man. He kept calling Xiao Yungui, "Lao San" and "Lao San", and talked about all the sufferings he had suffered along the way, which made Xiao Yungui tire of listening.  The two brothers surnamed Jiang were also talkative. They complained constantly and always said useless things, as if Xiao Yungui owed them something.

    Jiang Wanxing has four sons. Xiao Chaogui is the third. He was adopted by Xiao Yusheng's family when he was young. Jiang Wanxing's youngest son died early. Now only two sons, Jiang Caiwang and Jiang Caisheng, are left.  Xiao Yungui had the impression that the talents of these two brothers were indeed mediocre, that they were afraid of death and had no ideas. Now that he saw it, he was really disappointed. These two men were not people who did things and could not be considered for appointment at all.

    Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Chaogui's two brothers-in-law, Xiao Chaofu and Xiao Chaolong, did not dare to speak. When they were in Yong'an, Xiao Chaogui used Brother Tian to come down to earth several times to punish the Xiao family and his son, so when they saw Xiao Yungui, they were still a little scared.  Xiao Chaofu and Xiao Chaolong were even worse than the Jiang brothers. Xiao Chaolong even drank alcohol and smoked opium, so Xiao Chaogui had punished him severely before with Brother Tian coming down to earth. However, Xiao Chaofu was a little better and was a little closer to Xiao Chaogui, but in Xiao Yungui's view  Even these two people can't hold up the scene.

    Hong Xuanjiao¡¯s biological father, Huang Weizheng, is even more trembling. To be honest, the Wang family was really badly punished by Brother Tian in the past, and Huang Weizheng and his son still have lingering fears.  Huang Weizheng also had two sons, one named Huang Yuxiu and the other named Huang Shengtong.  After Xiao Yungui chatted with the father and son for a few words, he realized that the Huang family had read some books and had some ink in their stomachs. They might be able to win over and use them.  But Xiao Chaogui had punished the Wang family in Zhutang before, and the Wang family had always been Hong Xiuquan's cousins. Xiao Yungui still had some concerns about whether it could be used.

    After saying some innocuous comforting words, Xiao Yungui asked about Xiao Youhe and said that his aunt lived with him in the women's camp.  Xiao Yungui breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly amused. It was better for the four-eyed girl to worry about the child. He comforted the three families with a few words and then ordered his guards and swordsmen to help the three families clean up their belongings and move in together today.  Go to the governor's Yamen to stay.

    At the women's camp, Hong Yun'er encountered a lot of embarrassment before meeting the female relatives of several families. A two-year-old child in the arms of Xiao Chaofu's wife Li came staggering over and threw herself into her arms.  Calling her mother directly made Hong Yun'er's face flush.

    But Xiao Youhe still looks quite cute, with a rosy little face and two pigtails on his head. He is dressed like a girl and talks in a cooing voice, which makes the motherly nature in Hong Yun'er's heart tumble. Finally,  Still picked up Xiao Youhe.  Xiao Youhe chuckled in Hong Yun'er's arms and looked even more adorable. Hong Yun'er gradually fell in love with this child.

    Huang's mother Du, Xiao's mother Zhang, Jiang's and Xiao's daughters-in-law gathered around and chatted with Hong Yun'er for a long time. Hong Yun'er comforted her a few words and didn't want to talk nonsense, so she arranged for female soldiers to help.  They packed their luggage and started moving to the governor's Yamen.

    At about the same time, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er returned to the governor's Yamen with the relatives of Xi Wang and Xi Wang Niang.  As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin rushing to greet them.

    "Prince Xi, you are back. Boss Wei and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhu Changlin stepped forward and saluted repeatedly.

    As soon as Xiao Yungui saw these two people, he knew what they were doing. He turned to Hong Yun'er and said, "Please settle down the family first. I'll call Boss Zhu and Boss Wei."

    Hong Yun'er couldn't bear to let go of Xiao Youhe now. She hugged and kissed her. She really liked it, so she agreed casually and took the Xiao family, Jiang family, Huang family and other families to settle down in the backyard.  Xiao Yungui smiled and called Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin to the lobby to serve tea and talk.

    After entering the hall and sitting down, Wei Helin couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty the West, now that the Prince Today and the Prince East have entered the city, why have they raided many wealthy businessmen's houses in the past few days? I wonder what they have committed?"

    Xiao Yungui remained calm, took a sip of the tea served by the escort in the West Palace, and said calmly: "That was after His Highness the East King entered the city, to inspect the people in the city who were secretly communicating with the demons, and only after finding out the real evidence, did he declare the Kingdom of Heaven  Those who violate the law and confiscate their homes.¡±

    Zhu Changlin frowned and clasped her fists and said: "Your Majesty the King of the West, my old boss Tang Yinong has also had his house searched and questioned. Boss Tang is an innocent man. Ever since you came to the city, Mr. Xi, he has been keeping his duties and has no secret connections with the demons."  What a move. AndMoreover, Boss Tang and I signed a secret agreement with King Xi at that time. King Xi, you must check it out clearly.  "

    Xiao Yungui waved his hands, his face became cold, and he looked at the two of them and said coldly: "I copied several letters from Tang Yinong's house. They were all letters secretly exchanged between him and people like He Yuan and Huang Mian. There were many letters written by Tang Yinong.  He colluded with Huang Mian, He Yuan and others, intending to take advantage of the opening of the city to do business, and transport all the wealth in the city to foreign countries. Where is this foreign transportation going? What if it is not transported to the realm of Qingyao to support Qingyao?  ?¡±

    Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin secretly complained that among the wealthy merchants in the city, Huang Mian had already escaped from the city. After the city was opened, various families received many letters from Huang Mian. He secretly contacted He Yuan and others in the city to serve as internal agents, planning to transfer the family property trapped in the city.  Smuggling out of the city also encouraged wealthy businessmen in the city to flee.  Zhu and Wei also received letters from Huang Mian and He Yuan, but they were burned after reading them. They felt that it was too risky to escape at this time, so they did not reply to Huang Mian and He Yuan.  Unexpectedly, Tang Yinong also received the letter. Tang Yinong must have felt guilty and fearful, and actually wanted to escape, so he exchanged letters with Huang Mian and He Yuan and made arrangements to do things. However, he did not expect that the Taiping Army would suddenly take action. All the letters were not destroyed and all fell into the hands of the Taiping Army.  in hand.

    Originally, Xiao Yungui felt a little guilty about the wealthy merchants in the city, but he didn't expect that Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing would take action and find many incriminating evidences from various wealthy merchants' houses.  It turns out that since the chessboard started collecting donations, the wealthy merchants in the city were unwilling to be squeezed out by Xiao Yungui. With the help of Huang Mian and He Yuan, they conspired to smuggle money and grain out of the city or bury the money and grain on the spot, and planned to flee with their families.  The Taiping Army dug into the ground of many wealthy families and found a large number of cellars or pits that were later excavated, with large amounts of money and grain hidden in them. It seems that these wealthy merchants saw the difficulty of smuggling money and grain, and planned to hide the money and grain first, even if the peace was  If the army comes to ask for it again, no matter how much he searches it, he won't find a penny.

    Unexpectedly, the day after Yang Xiuqing entered the city, the Taiping Army took action with lightning speed and seized a large number of letters from He Yuan's house. They were all replies from wealthy businessmen in the city. Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered people to search according to the map and send the replies to He Yuan's house.  All of He Yuan's wealthy family members were ransacked and arrested.  When they arrived at Tang Yinong's house, Boss Tang was still digging a cellar to hide money in his study, but was caught by the Taiping Army.  After receiving the report, Yang Xiuqing ordered that when the house was searched, three feet of the ground must be dug. Sure enough, a large amount of money, food, gold, and jade utensils were found in each large household. A rough calculation showed that seven million taels of silver were found. The remaining gold, jade utensils, precious calligraphy and paintings,  There were countless antiques and jewelry, and the Taiping Army's holy treasury became rich overnight.

    Afterwards, Yang Xiuqing summoned Xiao Yungui to the government and explained the matter to him in detail, which made Xiao Yungui break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that these wealthy businessmen were really cunning. They actually built plank roads and secretly smuggled money and food out of the city or just smuggled money and grain into warehouses.  Buried in the ground, the money and food donated to him is indeed just a drop in the bucket.

    Xiao Yungui then coldly told what Tang Yinong and a group of wealthy businessmen had done, and finally looked at the two stunned people and said: "You two are very good. You have not exchanged letters with Huang Mian and He Yuan, nor have you paid money or food.  The most positive one, so I haven¡¯t taken action against you two yet, so you two should understand.¡±

    Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were dripping with cold sweat as they listened. People and wealth are dead and birds are dying for food. It is human nature for big families to want to keep their wealth. They dug cellars to hide some gold and silver for fear of being squeezed dry by the Taiping Army, but they did not expect it.  After being discovered by the Taiping Army, this was suspected of being concealed. With the letters exchanged with Huang Mian and He Yuan, it seemed that the accusation of being a demon communicator was confirmed.

    Zhu Changlin asked nonchalantly: "I wonder how the Heavenly King and the East King will deal with Boss Tang and the others?"

    Xiao Yungui took a sip of tea and said: "Talking to demons is naturally a crime of decapitation, but we will not involve the nine clans like Qing Yao did. Their children will still be alive, but they will be punished with hard labor to atone for their sins."

    Wei Helin said anxiously: "Prince Xi, is this too much? If we are innocent, we should let them go. For people like Boss Tang, Boss Zhu and I are willing to pay for his life, so please be kind to Prince Xi."  "

    Xiao Yungui placed the teacup heavily and said angrily: "I have said before, if anyone dares to fool me, I will not be polite! Tang Yinong's fate has been very good, and the young man can still save his life! You guys today  Go and have a look outside the west gate at noon! All the bannermen in the city will be killed without leaving a single one alive! Tang Yinong, the only one who has died to protect his family, should be satisfied!"

    Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were shocked. Seeing that Xiao Yungui was really angry, they were afraid that they would be unlucky if they continued talking. They could only look at each other and sit down tremblingly, not daring to speak anymore.

    Xiao Yungui stood up, walked around for a few steps, and said irritably: "I wanted to use my kindness and kindness to influence them, but they wanted me to use barbaric methods! Now I understand, these people just don't see the coffin.  No tears! Since they don¡¯t want kindness, I will let them see what barbarism is! There are so many in the cityRich merchants, you two are the only ones sitting here talking to me. How can you give me the face to go to the King of Heaven and the King of the East to intercede for them?  !  "

    The two of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out. Xiao Yungui took a few steps irritably. This incident clearly told him that he was facing a cruel class struggle, not being gentle as he thought at first.  These people will throw themselves into his arms, because he, Xiao Yungui, is now the leader of a large group of mud-legged people, and opposite him are the wealthy officials and wealthy businessmen. The two groups of people themselves are not the same type of people, they are two completely opposite groups. He, Xiao Yungui,  If Yunnan and Guizhou don't completely reshuffle the cards, they will be plotted by those people sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.
