Chapter 294: Destroy the Traitors
Chapter 294: Destroy the Traitors
Hou Xiaoge had experienced the same thing in Henan Province and Chang'an last year. It was okay when the weather was hot, but when it got cold, the refugees fell asleep and couldn't get up.
Some were so cold that they felt dizzy. The body collection team carried them directly onto ox carts and dumped them into a mass grave outside the city.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to chase you away. I'm here to ask you something. Answer you well, and this bag of steamed buns will be yours." Although Hou Xiaoge said this, he still threw the steamed buns over first.
When the little kids saw the white flour buns rolling out of the cloth bag, their eyes lit up green and they rushed to grab them.
"Grandpa, you ask, you ask, I will tell you everything." The leading kid knocked away the hands of the other kids and looked at Hou Xiaoge cautiously.
"You are begging in the capital, do you know any famous traitors?" Hou Xiaoge nodded and asked with a smile.
"Tumor Liu!"
"Zhang Gouzi!"
"Money devil!"
"Fat Pig Zhang!"
When talking about traitors, several children mentioned more than twenty names in succession. Hou Xiaoge had never heard of the other names, but he had heard of the name Qian Guizi.
This person was a well-known figure in the National Government. He had served as the president of the Beiyang Bank and even as the Minister of Finance.
How many officials in this era are not greedy, let alone those who are in charge of the purse strings? Hou Xiaoge was so excited after he realized what was going on. This is a big fat sheep!
"Okay, I got it. This is a reward for you. Sell your worn quilt and find a cave to shelter from the cold." Hou Xiaoge took out a small bag of copper coins worth one or two dollars and threw it to the children.
It’s not that Hou Xiaoge doesn’t want to give big dollars, but the face value is too large and it may cause trouble, so it’s safer to give copper coins.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandpa!" When the children heard the sound of metal colliding, they kowtowed one by one.
"Take the money and run! Someone has seen us." Unfortunately, a bigger beggar on the other side of the street saw Hou Xiaoge giving money to the children, and Hou Xiaoge quickly reminded them.
When a few children heard that someone saw them, they looked back and ran out with the money and buns in their hands.
Hou Xiaoge did not leave, but stayed where he was to block the beggars who might chase him.
Sure enough, the beggar followed curiously.
Hou Xiaoge didn't stop the beggar from being beaten. They were all poor people.
"Don't chase me, this is for you." He threw a big dollar over.
The sound of the ocean hitting the beggar and falling to the ground shocked the beggar immediately.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
When the beggar saw that there was actually a dollar on the ground, he rubbed his eyes hard, picked it up, bowed, and ran away immediately.
"Alas! The rich live in luxury, while the poor freeze to death on the streets." Hou Xiaoge felt emotional as he watched the skinny beggar running away with his lame leg.
After expressing his emotion, Hou Xiaoge also left the alley.
Now that he had a goal, Hou Xiaoge began to scout the location.
In fact, traitors are very easy to identify. Just look at their decent appearance, with a large group of people following them as they walk on the street, and everyone on the street is trying to avoid them. You can tell they are traitors without having to guess.
But these traitors are just minions, and Ga is just a by-product.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the streets should be very busy.
There are always people coming and going, like peddlers buying New Year's goods and hawking their wares.
But now it is rather deserted, not at all like the capital of the previous dynasty.
Hou Xiaoge wandered around for a while but felt bored, so he hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to Qian Guizi's home.
"Sir, we're here. Here are three of us, Chenghui and his sons." The driver stopped the car and bowed.
"Thanks, no need to change!" Hou Xiaoge directly gave a dime.
"Oh! Thank you for the reward, sir." The driver was ecstatic with the ten times fare.
This Qian Guizi's mansion is really big. It is a standard three-courtyard mansion with collapsed courtyards on both sides. If an unfamiliar person goes in, he might get lost.
It's weekdays now, and the old guy might have gone to work. Hou Xiaoge looked around and found that there was no one else except the servants and his concubines.
But it doesn’t matter. The primary purpose of this trip is to confiscate the illegal gains of the Japanese.
"Wow, the paintings this guy hangs everywhere are all from before the Qing and Ming Dynasties." Hou Xiaoge was shocked when he scanned the main house with his mental power.
Hou Xiaoge now often studies knowledge about antique calligraphy and paintings, and has a general understanding of these things. She coveted and bought a hanging calligraphy in the thin gold script of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty in advance.
After collecting all these, Hou Xiaoge did not find any valuable items, so he continued to explore with his mental power.
"Wow, a basement." Hou Xiaoge found a basement of more than 20 square meters under the study.
He teleported in directly, groped around, pushed open the cabinet and crawled in.
There were more than eighty wooden boxes stacked in the basement, and a single table.
Hou Xiaoge opened a wooden box and found various antiques and collectibles inside. He opened another one and found the same thing.
“Never mind, just take it.” Hou Xiaoge took it without even looking at it.
But as soon as it was put in, the space shook.
"Oh my god, is this something good?" Hou Xiaoge was excited.
However, Hou Xiaoge could not enter when the space was restored. It happened that few people came to the basement, so Hou Xiaoge sat on the table and began to search.
There was nothing on the table, just a locked drawer.
"Crack!" Hou Xiaoge directly twisted the three iron locks off.
"Wow! This dog is really fat." Hou Xiaoge was also shocked by the things in the four drawers.
A large stack of deeds for at least two thousand acres of land, as well as deeds for more than one hundred shops.
The most important thing is that there are several bearer certificates of deposit, including US dollars, British pounds, and Japanese yen, which together can be exchanged for almost one million US dollars.
"Comfortable!" Hou Xiaoge took out the deposit certificate and put it in his pocket. The land deeds and other things were useless, so he burned them.
"Young Master, the space upgrade is complete." Ling'er's voice sounded in Hou Xiaoge's mind.
"Okay, let me take a look." Hou Xiaoge went straight into the space.
As soon as Hou Xiaoge entered the space, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The original 100 acres of planting space was suddenly expanded to 50 acres, increasing the area by half.
The crops originally planted on the ground also matured instantly, and the orchard was full of ripe fruits, with the fragrance of fruit everywhere.
Ling'er waved her hand, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fruit from the twenty acres of fruit farm were picked directly into the warehouse. They were piled up like a mountain in the space warehouse. Hou Xiaoge estimated that he would never be able to finish eating them even if he grew old.
"Yes, the disciples' year-end benefits have been settled at the end of the year." Hou Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction.
Although the temperature in Yunnan Province was suitable for growing fruits, that was in later times.
In those days, fruit transportation was inconvenient, so ordinary people seldom planted it on a large scale. They just grew it for themselves in front of and behind their houses and occasionally sold it in retail.
The fruits grown in Hou Xiaoge's space are of good quality, and there is no problem selling hundreds of thousands of kilograms for fifty or sixty thousand yuan by the end of the year.
If we sell it in northern cities like Beijing, we can definitely sell it at three times the price.
After checking the land, Hou Xiaoge came to the space hill. To his delight, the peach tree on the top of the hill had thirteen pink flowers in bloom.
Hou Xiaoge came to the peach tree that was more than one meter tall and took a deep breath. The flowers of the semi-spiritual peach tree were really fragrant, simply refreshing.
"Young Master, among the supplies you just collected, there are five meteorites, one of which contains energy." Ling'er reported with a smile.
"Very good. It seems that we should pay more attention to these rich people in the future, so that it will be easier to produce good products." Hou Xiaoxiao smiled happily.
"Master, what should we plant on the newly opened land?"
“All of them are grown into sweet potatoes, which I will use soon.
Oh, Ling'er, put one of the beehives on the top of the mountain. These peach blossoms and semi-spiritual medicines have a long flowering period. Try to see if you can make highly effective spiritual honey." Hou Xiaoge said as he watched a large group of bees collecting honey in the orchard.
"Okay, Master."
After checking the space, Hou Xiaoge did not stay long and left the palace directly.
Over the next day, Hou Xiaoge visited the homes of more than a dozen big traitors one after another. Since the traitors were not at home, he did not kill anyone, but simply robbed them of all their money.
During the day, the big traitors all worked obediently in the pseudo-government office, and Hou Xiaoge had nowhere to go.
"Looks like I need a big one!"
It was almost afternoon and time for the after-get off work meeting, so Hou Xiaoge went straight to the pseudo-government office.
The pseudo-government is the government supported by the Japanese devils. It is full of traitors. Even if there are some who are willing to endure hardships, there are probably not many of them.
Of course, he couldn't go back empty-handed after entering, so Hou Xiaoge began to search each room and everyone he met was asleep.
This government office is not really a government office, as all kinds of mahogany furniture, huanghuali furniture, and red sandalwood furniture are everywhere.
What's there to say? It's just a harvest.
"Office paper, collect!"
"Phone, telephone line, pick up!"
"Gramophone! Small desk lamp, collect!"
In short, Hou Xiaoge took away everything except the traitor’s daily necessities.
In the end, there were only three cars, two trucks, and a bunch of bicycles left in the yard.
But there is no rush. They are all in the yard, so there is no need to collect them now.
"Install the bomb first! Hey guys, I'll set off a firework for you today." Hou Xiaoge began to carry the shells out one by one.
One year outside is equivalent to twenty years in the space. Ling'er has mastered a lot of knowledge after a long period of study and research. The simple timing devices for these bombs were made by Ling'er, and Hou Xiaoge just had to set them off.
The government office was quite large, and it took five or six minutes to put everything away using teleportation.
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!" An official came in from outside and shouted loudly when he saw a fellow dog that Hou Xiaoge had accidentally beaten to death.
"die!"
Big Mouth was yelling, Hou Xiaoge quickly ran out and killed him.
But it was still a little late, and the Japanese soldiers who were on guard patrol outside rushed in.
"Damn, these Japanese are so aggressive." Hou Xiaoge threw a 120mm howitzer shell directly over and then rushed inside.
"boom!"
The grenade exploded, creating a four or five meter wide hole at the entrance of the puppet government office, and the Japanese soldiers around it were instantly smashed to pieces.
Hou Xiaoge came to the parking lot and quickly put the car into the space, then threw a remote-controlled bomb and teleported out of the government office.
"Shh, shh, shh! Tap, tap, tap." With the sound of the Japanese devils' whistles and leather shoes, they began to rush towards the puppet government.
"1, 2, 3!" Seeing that there were at least two or three hundred Japanese and puppet troops rushing in, Hou Xiaoge pressed the remote control directly.
“Boom, boom!”
