Elder Zeng sighed helplessly...

Chapter 1456 Search

"Originally, according to the rules of our Zeng family,"

Elder Zeng said helplessly.

"Every other month,"

"They should all be given to this secret room,"

"Change the water and dry food."

"So that we don't have to wait until we need it,"

"There is no food or water here."

"But in the last two years,"

"Our Zengtou City has always had smooth sailing in its development,"

"So here's the dry food and water,"

"I haven't changed it for more than two years."

"But right now, there's no food and no water,"

Zeng Suo said anxiously,

"Even if we can hide here,"

"How many more days can they hide?"

"Third brother, don't worry,"

Zeng Tu comforted him,

"The exit of this secret room is a well,"

"Water is naturally indispensable,"

"As for food,"

"It really doesn't work,"

"Let's sneak out from the well when it gets dark,"

"Then just steal some from the kitchen."

"The boss is right,"

The elder gritted his teeth and said,

"I refuse to believe it,"

"Does Liangshan think they can stay in Zengtou City forever?!"

"We just need to stay hidden here for now,"

"Wait until Liangshan leaves,"

"Zengtou City is still our territory!"

...

At this time, Zengtou City,

Liangshan has completely occupied the Zeng family's old residence.

The entire Zengtou City is now under the control of Liangshan.

“Block all roads,”

Zhao Yuan calmly gave the instructions.

"Have someone find the head of each neighborhood,"

"Bring out the weapons that the soldiers have hidden in their homes."

"Tell them about this trip to Liangshan,"

"Only investigate this Zeng family father and son,"

"We will absolutely not implicate ordinary soldiers and civilians."

"As long as they hand over their armor and weapons,"

"Liangshan will no longer hold their past mistakes against them."

"Also, send people to search everywhere for the Zeng family father and his six sons,"

"There are also two teachers, Shi Wengong and Su Ding."

"Chieftain,"

Luan Tingyu reported,

"Previously, captured soldiers from Zengtou City said,"

"The Zeng family had a second, fourth, and fifth son,"

"They've all been buried under the collapsed city walls."

"Send men to hire the people of Zengtou City to dig,"

Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice,

"The money and provisions used,"

"It came from the spoils seized in Zengtou City."

"Those seven people must see him alive,"

"I demand to see his body if he's dead!"

"Yes!"

Luan Tingyu accepted the order and left.

Zhao Yuan, accompanied by Jiao Ting and his personal guards,

I stepped into the Zeng family's old house.

This Zeng family residence has clearly been recently renovated.

There are signs of renovation everywhere.

Thanks to the victories achieved in suppressing bandits in various places over the past two years,

The Zeng family has clearly made a fortune recently.

The house bears the marks of a nouveau riche.

Just at the end,

The guards had to search.

This made Zhao Yuan frown.

"There are enough grains, 60,000 shi,"

"But you only have 20,000 strings of cash?"

"How much money is this?"

"Isn't that a bit too little?"

"Brother, that money might have been hidden away by the Zeng family,"

Jiao Ting said,

“I’ll have them take back this house,”

"From the inside out,"

"Search them all out."

"Um,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Given the character of these wealthy families,"

"There's a high chance there's a secret room in this house,"

"Pay more attention to the corners and alleys."

The Zeng family mansion is still being searched.

And in various places within Zengtou City,

The neighborhood chiefs are knocking on residents' doors one by one.

They were ordered to hand over the weapons and armor of the soldiers in their homes.

Faced with the reality that Zengtou City had already been captured,

In addition to the rumors I had heard about Liangshan before,

And just now,

Liangshan accomplished this without lifting a finger.

They easily destroyed the city walls of Zengtou City.

This led most of the soldiers to choose to believe in Liangshan.

He handed over his armor and weapons.

However, a small number of soldiers from Zengtou City also obtained [their weapons].

They did not believe Liangshan's account.

They felt that

He left behind his armor and weapons.

If Liangshan turns against them later

They can still put up some resistance.

And to this,

Liangshan, however, did not pay any attention to it.

This attack on Zengtou City,

Liangshan's biggest goal

This was to punish Zengtou City for besieging Yinmachuan.

As for Zengtou City obtaining money...

Naturally, all of these should belong to Liangshan.

But in Zengtou City...

And it's the same everywhere else.

He had previously obtained a large amount of money by claiming to be suppressing bandits.

They were all gathered at Elder Zeng's house.

As for the ordinary people of Zengtou City

Being able to get some soup or broth,

That's already considered pretty good...

Chapter 1457 Escape

Liangshan naturally looked down on these scattered sums of money.

Furthermore, they didn't actually intend to occupy Zengtou City.
