Yanei thought about it and immediately said frankly: "That's right, eating so many horses at once is useless - five hundred stag, I'll take one."

Five hundred guan is equivalent to 500,000 copper coins, and the money is not too much or too much... Meng Du's head and face are full of smiles: "Yanei is also a participant. How can you give so much? It is enough to give three hundred guan."

Yanei thought about it, Meng Dutou quickly added: "The subordinates have already looked around. Shi Dalang is very clean in his work. The servant who guards the horse was killed by a blow, and there is no one else in the Taolin."

Shi Yanei grinned: "Haha, since that's the case, Shi Dalang's share is indispensable. I will pay another 100 coins to help Shi Dalang buy this mule, which I gave to Shi Dalang."

Meng Du looked at the direction of Taohuaguan’s main hall and asked in a low voice: “Have the women all settled?”

"Hehe, Shi Dalang's stupid boy didn't say anything after he came back, just rushing to the kitchen to cook porridge. Others saw him but returned. He didn't spend much time in total. He looked at his clothes and didn't even add a pleat. He thought there was nothing wrong in the lotus yard... Haha, if I hadn't come to the scene, I would have thought that you had such heavy casualties."

As Shi Yanei said, he looked around and saw the chaotic footprints in the yard and the blood splattered everywhere. His eyes looked at the gap and exclaimed: "Haha, the bandit leader is so brave. He dared to rush into the yard alone, and rushed into the flat ground. He is really a good skill."

Meng Dutou quickly smiled flatteringly and explained: "The bandit leader was very quick, and the bandits who responded called him "Winged Tiger", probably saying that this person was quick. After the Winged Tiger injured several of our partners, he rushed into the main hall to get something. We just found a package on him, and there were fresh handprints on the beam inside the house, which probably was hidden on the beam before.

There are some miscellaneous items in the package, and the only important one is the account book, which records some place names in code words. Those place names are probably the connection points along the way, or the places where the gang ships and stores goods. In addition, there are some secret words that cannot be understood, and it is probably the place where they save money. I went back to ask the county clerk to see. If these code words can be unlocked, they will just take their den together."

After a moment of pause, Meng Dutou sighed: "Mom, this kidnapper is so rich. He carries more than a dozen scattered copper coins on his body, which is probably for food, accommodation and accommodation along the way. There are two large packages on the mule, which contain a lot of money and countless gold and silver jewelry, probably peeled off by the kidnapper."

Shi Yanei laughed and asked, "I don't care, I just want to see what I mean?"

Meng Du's head smiled even more humble: "Yanei, look, the brothers suffered heavy casualties this time. The dead brothers need to be paid for their pensions, and those who are seriously injured need to take care of themselves. I am afraid that if they can't work for a year or two, they will have no income...Yanei, since the girls don't know the situation here, and that fool doesn't understand the worldly ways, let's give him some money and block his mouth. It's probably nothing."

Shi Yanei replied with a smile: "Although that fool is stupid, the daughter of Huang County, Jiangdu County, is inseparable from him. How could you treat him badly?"

Meng Dutou gritted his teeth and confessed: "Brothers, I searched. Among the treasurers' luggage, there were valuable goods including a Japanese knife, three horses, a mule, and more than ten stakes of copper coins, more than three thousand stakes of money, and a large number of gold and silver jewelry for women. We had just given the fool three stakes of copper coins. I mean, I would like to invite the fool over first and let the fool pick out the items among these items, and the rest..."

"Haha, it's not worth paying money. If you can exchange 3,000 guan, it's already very good to exchange 1,000 guan. In addition, the other end of the county government always has to hand over something. Why don't he choose more gold, silver and jewelry?"

Meng Du nodded with a smile on his face: "Mom, what the yanei said is exactly what I want. I plan to leave two thousand guans of money and five or six guans of copper coins to the county. The rest, brothers, let's divide the rest, so that the families of the dead and injured can be taken care of."

Although Shi Yanei was stupid, he was not stupid at all. He followed Meng Dutou's topic and answered: "Did you ask me to come forward and take all these horses back, and sell them privately, and give them money to you?"

Meng Du smiled like a flower: "That's right, as long as Yanei comes forward, he will say that this is a horse brought by several military men with him... Well, after this happened in Guanli, Yanei specially brought horses from home to facilitate the cycling back and forth, which is also Yanei's enthusiasm. In this way, it is easy for the girls to explain the sudden appearance of these mules and horses.

Oh, where is the fool? He can't ride a war horse. He can give him a mule and a hundred stagnant of copper coins. From now on, the fool can still get a prize from the county. That fool will not have to worry about food and clothing for three or five years."

Shi Yanei thought about it and felt that Meng Dutou's plan was flawless. He laughed: "That's it, three horses, each with three hundred stakes. I'll exchange it for you according to this number of copper coins, and this matter will be settled."

They are all majestic Hetao horses. If you find a good buyer, each war horse can be sold for more than 800 stagnants. Shi Yanei almost bought three horses at the price of one horse... Considering that Yanei also made great efforts, he also had servants who needed to handle some things, Meng Dutou was reluctant.

"Brothers, the yamen promised to help. After we go back, no matter how the county government rewards it, each of the dead will be given 100 guan copper coins and 200 guan coins; the injured will be given 50 guan copper coins and 50 guan coins; the uninjured will be given 30 guan copper coins and 50 guan coins, and everyone will clamp their mouths... and call the fool to pick things up."

Later, Shi walked into the lotus garden with apron and ash on his face. He rubbed his hands while walking, muttering: "It is said that the Song Dynasty was a hedonistic dynasty, so why did there be such a large-scale trafficking group of women... Social security is so unsafe, how can people enjoy it?"

Shi Yanei understood the last sentence, and he laughed: "Hahaha, don't think it's strange. The ground in Haizhou is still quite calm. In comparison, the Shandong territory is so chaotic. Since the promulgation of the Horse Protection Law, Shandong territory is the biggest victim. Many families cannot hand over the full amount of horses, so they simply ride on the remaining war horses in their homes and rob the wealthy people everywhere.

Last year I went to Jingdong Road (Shandong), where it was broad daylight, and three or five guests dared to walk on the road. It was rumored that there were more than a hundred bandits entrenched in the river bank of Liangshan. They usually hid in the water bank and were happy. Once the food and grass were gone, they would look for a way to go ashore. The fast horses were lying across the river and the counties could not be controlled..."

"Liangshan? Water Po? Is this a Water Margin World? Or... I don't know if it's Chao Gai or Song Jiang now?" Shi Chuan murmured in a low voice, his eyes fell on the spreading package on the ground. When he saw the Japanese knife, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stretched out: "In troubled times, be on guard... I want this thing."
