"Exactly! Don't worry. We'll return any extra silver."
Many of the commoners promised they would take only their own share of the silver, and not a coin more.
Minister Qin still wanted to stop them, but quite a few people had already charged into the Qin Residence.
Those few dozen household guards were simply no match for so many commoners.
Before long, the commoners broke through the guards' blockade.
After entering the residence, some kept their word, leaving with just one item and heading straight for the pawnshops.
Others took the opportunity to stuff several things into their clothes before leaving...
Minister Qin roared:
"Stop, all of you! Stop!"
At this point, who would still listen to Minister Qin?
Even all those household guards couldn't stop the commoners. No one else in the Qin Residence dared come out to intervene!
At the sight, Minister Qin clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and toppled over stiffly.
Seeing Minister Qin faint, everyone grabbed things even faster, snatching up items and immediately leaving the Qin Residence.
They only wanted their compensation, not to cause anyone's death!
Once they had emptied the front hall, the commoners who arrived later went to haul things out of the young masters', young ladies', and concubines' rooms.
At first, those young masters, young ladies, and concubines tried to stop them, but how could they possibly be a match for these commoners?
These commoners were used to farmwork. In their eyes, the young masters, young ladies, and concubines were no different from little chicks. They shoved them aside, took what they wanted, and left.
Some even reached out and yanked ornaments straight off the madams' and young ladies' heads.
The young ladies' and madams' hair was instantly pulled into disarray, and they howled in pain.
