    "Master Miao, Mr. Qin from the government affairs office is here."

    In Zhangjiazhuang, Miao Cai, head of the household department, was dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy when a cavalry officer stepped in to report that Qin An had arrived.

    "Why is Lord Qin here?"

    Miao Cai, head of the household department, did not expect that Qin An from the government affairs office would come to Zhangjiazhuang in person.

    "Follow me to greet you."

    Qin An was Miao Cai's immediate boss, so he put aside what he was doing and led the crowd out of the village to welcome him.

    Qin An, the chief executive officer, was also ordered by Chen Ziang to personally catch this incident and turn it into an iron case to make an example of others.

    As for the outcome of the Zhangjiazhuang tragedy, it is related to whether their land distribution policy can go on smoothly.

    To put it more seriously, it is also related to whether their Qinghe Army can take root in the Yunxi Prefecture area, so Qin An has to pay attention to it.

    Along with Qin An, Chief of Political Affairs, apart from 1,000 cavalry and 500 Qinghe Army infantry, there were also officials from the Intelligence and Investigation Department with cold faces.

    "Have all those bandits been caught?"

    After Qin An arrived in Zhangjiazhuang, he didn't even look at the Zhang family and others who followed in the welcoming team, and asked Miao Cai's progress directly.

    "Reporting to my lord, Deputy General Luo has led five hundred cavalry brothers to hunt him down, and there is no news yet." Miao Cai reported respectfully.

    Qin An ordered with a serious face: "Add more hunting forces, even if they escape to the ends of the world, they must be hunted back! If you dare to break ground on the head of our Qinghe army, you will have to pay in blood!"

    Following Qin An's order, the 1,000 cavalry who followed him this time quickly separated out 500 elite cavalry brothers, and also invested in the hunt for the fleeing bandits.

    Seeing those murderous cavalry riding their horses towards the distance, the Zhang family also felt terrified.

    Especially the patriarch of the Zhang family felt a little guilty, and he didn't expect the Qinghe army to protect his shortcomings like this.

    The head of the Zhang family sent people to buy off the bandits and slaughtered the 25th task force. The purpose was very simple, that is to prevent them from dividing the land.

    At the same time, it is also to test the Qinghe army and show their Zhang family's local strength.

    After all, their Zhang family relied on the intertwined relationship of the clan in the local area, and they were extremely powerful.

    Even though the officials of the imperial court in the past would give them three points of courtesy, the Qinghe army dared to divide their land when they first arrived. They were naturally upset and wanted to give the Qinghe army a blow.

    Who knew that the Qinghe army would react so aggressively, instead of retreating in spite of the difficulties, they wanted to pursue it to the end.

    The tough attitude of the Qinghe army was also unexpected by the Zhang family. Now they have some regrets, but the matter has been done, and it is too late for them to regret it now.

    Qin An, the head of the government affairs government, personally sat in Zhangjiazhuang, and brought a lot of troops, which suddenly made the atmosphere in Zhangjiazhuang suddenly tense.

    Those officials from the Intelligence and Investigation Division who were covered in ice were not idle, and immediately started their work after arriving in Zhangjiazhuang.

    A servant named Zhang's family and the people in Zhuangzi were individually called to the Intelligence and Investigation Department for questioning.

    "I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

    Facing the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Department sitting behind the table with a cold face like a dead person, the people who were called felt that the room was a bit cold.

    "I haven't even asked, but you said you don't know, are you guilty?" The official of the Intelligence and Investigation Division snorted jokingly.

    "no no"

    "If you don't say it, then you can go and bury our dead Qinghe Army brothers."

    Facing the tense faces of the common people who were stumbling in their speech, the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Department waved their hands, and immediately two wolf-like soldiers rushed forward.

    "Pull it down and cut it down, call the next one in." The official of the Intelligence and Investigation Department said coldly.

    This commoner did not expect that the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Department would kill people if they disagreed, and their legs became weak from fright.

    "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, I really don't know anything."

    Facing the yelling of the commoner, the officer of the Intelligence and Investigation Department took a sip of tea and said nothing, watching him being dragged out the door, as if he didn't care about his life at all.

    "I said, I said, I said everything."

    In the face of life and death, the psychology of this common peopleThe defense finally collapsed, because he knew that if he didn't speak, his life might really be lost.

    "I said, can you guarantee the lives of me and my family?"

    The civilian was brought back to the house again, he looked at the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Department, and asked tentatively.

    "Say it, don't make me impatient."

    Seeing the soldiers with fierce faces around him, the commoner sighed, knowing that he had no room for bargaining.

    Facing the threat of the Zhang family and the powerful Qinghe Army, he finally chose the Qinghe Army.

    "When the old Wang's family next door was destroyed last night, I hid in the crack of the door and saw the members of the Zhang family involved."

    The commoner immediately added: "The Zhang family has already passed on the word in private, if anyone dares to take your land again, those people from last night will end up and be exterminated"

    "My lord, I have told you everything, and I beg you not to spread it, otherwise our family will not survive."

    After saying what he knew, the commoner knelt down directly and begged bitterly.

    "Don't worry, our Qinghe army will protect your family's safety."

    Seeing the civilian who was kneeling on the ground unwilling to get up, the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Division waved his hands, and several soldiers took him out.

    Although what the commoner said was earnest, the officials of the Intelligence and Investigation Department did not believe it, and called many people alone for questioning.

    The people in Zhuangzi are all honest peasants. Although they were threatened by the Zhang family, they quickly told what they knew in the face of the methods of the officials of the Intelligence Investigation Department.

    With the deepening of the investigation, the mastermind behind the scenes gradually surfaced, that is the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhuang.

    Officials from the Intelligence and Investigation Division soon began to summon Zhang's family members for further confirmation.

    At this time, the cavalry who were in charge of hunting down the bandits also turned back, and there were many bloody heads on their horses.

    Those bandits returned to their lair on foot, and were overtaken by cavalry halfway, and then there was an almost one-sided massacre.

    Fortunately, these cavalry brothers also knew how to measure, and they didn't kill them all. They left five alive and dragged them back with the help of ropes.

    "Patriarch, it's not good, those bandits were captured by them."

    Seeing the dying bandits who were dragged back, someone immediately reported to the head of the Zhang family.

    "What?!"

    Hearing that those bandits had been arrested, the head of the Zhang family couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up abruptly.

    Their Zhang family is very dignified, and they are not afraid of those people in Zhuangzi talking nonsense, because the family members of those people in Zhuangzi are all under the control of their Zhang family, and whoever dares to talk nonsense will end in extermination.

    But these bandits are different. They and the Zhang family are only in a cooperative relationship. If they really speak out in a hurry, their Zhang family will be finished.

    But what the head of the Zhang family didn't know was that many people in Zhuangzi had already confessed to them under the coercion and lure of officials from the Intelligence Investigation Department.

    "Pack up your things and leave Zhuangzi immediately."

    Although those bandits had just been captured and hadn't had time to interrogate, the head of the Zhang family had already smelled danger.

    After some core disciples of the Zhang family got the news, they didn't dare to stay in Zhuangzi anymore, they packed up their things one after another, and prepared to leave Zhuangzi.

    "My lord has ordered that no one can leave Zhuangzi until the matter is investigated clearly."

    But what they were most afraid of happened. The soldiers of the Qinghe army had sealed off Zhuangzi, and no one could come in and out at will. They had already guarded against them.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
