Everything went smoothly. In addition to not catching Chang Rui, this guy didn't even want his wife and jumped over the wall from the backyard of the county government office and ran away.

The "Chen Family Army" occupied the county government office, the county treasury and Changpingcang with overwhelming force. Then Chen Cong, Chen Quan, Chen Min and other Chen family civil servants visited several large households in the county and the grain stores they ran.

Outside the west gate of the county, batches of grains were continuously transported to the open space in front of the city gate. Chen Ming has already obtained a total count: the total amount exceeds twelve thousand stones. Including sweet potatoes, sorghum, corn, millet and other cereals, more than 3,000 stones. There are also 20,000 kilograms of various medicinal materials copied from various drug stores in the county.

The Chen family didn't directly rob them, and they didn't lose a penny from these bosses. It was just that the bosses were 'forcibly bought and sold'. There are also various kinds of vegetable oil and salt, some cloth and medicinal materials. The Chen family is honest and trades fairly. The money they copied from the county town - such as the silver from Chang Rui's house in the backyard of the county government and the money in the county treasury, as well as Li Tianhe and other dirty officials in the county government - all obediently handed over the money in order to survive. Even the silver in the Chen family's own account would be useless if it was brought back to Tumenji. Chen Ming dispersed it all.

"We, the Chen family, keep our word. As long as you transport the grain to the ground, you will not be short of a grain of grain if you want it, and you will not be short of a penny of silver if you want it. They all belong to the big lords, spitting at each mouth and nailing at the same time. The Chen family keeps their word!" When Chen Ming followed his mother and his entourage in a carriage to the city gate, Chen Hui was already working on his family's 'career'.

Chen Ming made it very clear to him that he should be as active as possible this winter to reduce the limelight, so he must prepare all the food.

In the Funiu Mountains, if you are short of meat, you can hunt, but if you are short of food, it will really kill you. Moreover, Chen Ming does not intend to reduce the workload in coal and iron mines, iron smelting, ironware and other industries. The food must be prepared in full quantities. Otherwise, the Chen family would have to brave the severe cold of minus ten or even twenty degrees in the winter to go down the mountain to mop up their wealth. Not only is it dangerous and hard work, but it will also attract the attention of the government. What a tragic thing it is.

Chen Ming felt that if the people on the edge of the county town really transported food to Tumenji, there would definitely be a minority of them willing to ask for food, and the vast majority would ask for money. Because China is still very peaceful now, and both Henan and Huguang, which is connected to Nanyang, are grain-producing places. Lushan County will not really be short of grain. Therefore, money is more convenient than food, and after this incident, the government will inevitably have to scrape the land, and having money will make it easier to deal with it.

The current supply of more than 12,000 shi of grain can be transported to Tumenji to save at least tens of thousands of shi!

It can be said that everything went smoothly. Lushan County's fragile defense was completely shattered like an egg shell in front of Chen Jiajun. but……

"If we do this, your uncle and father-in-law will get into trouble."

After everything was cleared up, Chen Hui even had the moral integrity to ask Chen Erhu to lead thirty men to do a "street cleaning tiger", and caught more than twenty local gangsters who took advantage of the situation. According to Chen Hui's wishes, he beat them up and threw them away. When they got into trouble on the street, Chen Ming felt that it was necessary to reform through labor this group of 'scum'.

When the last group of Chen family members left Xiguan surrounded by Chen Ming and Chen Hui, this farce-like "city destruction" finally ended. Chang Rui returned to Xiguan in less than two quarters of an hour after the Chen family left. As for the county government, his first order was to close all four doors.

He wants to take revenge, he wants to report to his superiors, and he wants to ask his superiors to send troops to clear out the Chen family. But no matter how angry Chang Rui was, he could not deny the fact that the foundation and heritage he had just accumulated in Lushan County were completely destroyed by the Chen family. And there was no way he could hide the fact that someone broke into the county government office in Lushan County. He had a lot of mess to clean up!

But for Chen Hui and Chen Ming, their actions undoubtedly deeply deceived the Gao family and the Li family. Chen Ming didn't know how his father-in-law would be unable to accept it, dumbfounded and collapsed after hearing the news, and his uncle, who had already gone to Zhoucheng to seek connections, would definitely vomit blood. Their family will inevitably be manipulated and punished by the government. It is really like Feixue in June, even more unjust than Dou E!

Chen Ming hehehe, he could only hehehe on this topic.

He quite compares himself to his uncle and father-in-law, but what can he do? Did he really have to be imprisoned and have his property plundered before he even thought of rebelling?

The escape route the Chen family created in the mountains was not just a show.

A pit can only be a pit. At most, I can compensate them more in the future!

This is what Chen Ming is thinking. In Chen Hui's view, the Chen family has reached this point and is no longer qualified to say anything to compensate the Gao family and the Li family. At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there were ancient villages hidden deep in the mountains in the Funiu Mountains. But more than a hundred years have passed, and the bloody storm of the year has disappeared. The people who hid in the mountains have moved back to the plains one after another because of their livelihood, or moved from the depths of the mountains to the junction of mountains and plains. For example, the villages around Tumenji.

Xiaonangou is far enough away. Tiezhai, Niutouzhai, Hutouzhai and Qingfengzhai, which are dozens of miles further away than Xiaonangou, are far beyond the jurisdiction of Lushan County. It is not very realistic to use the energy of Lushan County or even Ruzhou to eliminate the Chen family. The Manchu Qing could only send large troops to encircle and suppress them. But as long as Chen Ming cowers in the mountains and doesn't move, Wang Jun and others won't be asking for trouble, right?

Chen Ming still didn't know enough about the Manchu Qing's "rules". He could only think so much and take it one step at a time. Chen Hui understood the Manchu Qing's rules very well, but his position was too low, and he knew more about the dog-and-fly camps that were not presentable. He had no idea about the attitudes and reactions of the county and even provincial officials.

As for Ruzhou, there was already a Qingtiaoling, so it was possible to accommodate a second Chen family. But the magistrate of Lushan County was Chang Rui, who had lost face. The Chen family did not use his family as a raft and let Chang Rui go, but no one dared to guarantee whether Chang Rui would appreciate it.

Looking at Chang Rui's ruthlessness of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, who dared to say that he would definitely appreciate it?

The chaos in Lushan County would not end because of the Chen family's banditry, but would instead open up a bigger scene. And all this, the people of Lushan County were waiting, the county government was waiting, and the Chen family in Tumenji, who retreated to the mountains, was also waiting.

Gao Family, Li Family!

None of the Chen Family tenants who fled to the mountains together, Chen Hui's men who did not follow the Chen Family up the mountain, Zhou Tianyi and several yamen runners who died in the line of duty [when breaking into the county yamen], Li Tianhe and Huang Shao who had both legs broken, Jiang Yang who had his arms and legs broken, etc., all were watching and waiting.

Chang Rui had to set the tone for all this.
