    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1322

    As night fell, more than a thousand heavily armed soldiers of the Security Banner Regiment of Hedong Province assembled in the barracks.

    Under the light of pine torches, Zhou Han, Chief Administrative Officer of Hedong Province, surrounded by several officials, strode towards the assembled army formation.

    ?Hedong Province has a security banner regiment to maintain local order, with a force of more than 20,000 troops.

    It's just that this security banner group is to maintain the order of the entire province, so it is assigned to various prefectures and counties to assist local officials.

    Therefore, there is only a security brigade with more than a thousand troops stationed in the provincial capital, and this is the only army that Zhou Han can mobilize.

    In the past, Zhou Han was already the head of the banner when he was in the field army, and he had 20,000 elite soldiers under his command.

    Now he can mobilize only a thousand or so weak security soldiers, but he still has the confidence to eradicate those enemies hidden in the dark!

    "Master Chief, the soldiers have assembled."

    ?Seeing the arrival of Zhou Han, Chief of Political Affairs, Wang Chengfu, the captain of the Public Security Brigade, trotted up to him, stood up and gave a military salute.

    At present, the provinces of the Far East Empire implement a system of separation of military and government affairs. The Chief of Political Affairs is responsible for the governance of the province, and the head of the Security Banner is responsible for the order of the province.

    The head of the Public Security Banner is not under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Political Affairs, but is directly under the command of Li Changqing, the head of the Public Security Army directly under him.

    It's just that the security banner stationed in Hedong Province is responsible for maintaining local order, and is also obliged to assist local officials when they encounter things that are difficult for local officials to handle.

    You must know that Zhou Han is a governor of the third rank, but he, the security captain, is only a rank seven, and there are ten levels of difference between them.

    Facing the order of a third-rank official, although the security brigade is not affiliated with the government, Wang Chengfu, the head of the security brigade, could not refuse to crush people to death.

    "Captain Wang, if you can succeed this time, I will definitely be at your banner commander's place and ask for credit for you!"

    Although Zhou Han is a member of the third rank, he still has to rely on the soldiers in the hands of Wang Chengfu, the captain of the security team, so he also drew a big cake from the beginning.

    "Thank you, Mr. President, I will definitely do my best!"

    After hearing Zhou Han's words, Wang Chengfu also showed joy and hurriedly thanked him.

    After all, Zhou Han was born in the army, and his rank is high. As long as he says hello, the head of his own banner will give him some face.

    "Brothers, now there are people secretly hoarding and raising prices, not wanting to feed the common people and make us feel better, what do you say?!"

    After standing still facing the assembled thousands of soldiers, Zhou Han said loudly with a serious face.

    "Catch them!"

    "Kill them!"

    Quite a few of these soldiers are locals in Hedong Province, and now they naturally know that their families cannot buy food and are facing starvation.

    So as soon as Zhou Han opened his mouth, these soldiers raised their arms and shouted out of righteous indignation, their morale was high.

    "Well, let's raid their shops tonight and confiscate all the food and supplies they have hoarded!" Zhou Hanhan ordered.

    "Set off!"

    After Zhou Han simply carried out the pre-war mobilization, he waved his hand decisively and gave the order to set off.

    Soon, the soldiers of the brigade held torches and drove into the provincial capital city.

    Zhou Han personally led a team of people to raid a grain store, which was the largest grain store in the city of Hedong Province.

    "Open the door, open the door!"

    Soldiers like wolves and tigers surrounded the shop, and then immediately stepped forward and began knocking on the door.

    "Slam the door!"

    Seeing that there was no movement inside the grain shop in front of him, Zhou Han ordered to smash the door with a dark face.

    Several people were about to carry a banging log forward, and under the violent impact, the wooden door was knocked open with a bang.

    Soldiers holding torches filed out and quickly occupied the front hall and backyard of this grain shop.

    "My lord, my lord, what are you doing here at night?"

    The shopkeeper of the disheveled shop also rushed over in a hurry, and when he saw the soldiers from the brigade pouring in, he also questioned Zhou Han unhappily.

    "I suspect you are hoarding and driving up the price of food!"

    Zhou Han said coldly when he saw the fat head and big ears of the manager of the grain store.

    &"My lord, where are you from? How dare I do such a rebellious thing. There is indeed no grain to sell in the store." The shopkeeper of the grain shop yelled full of grievances.

    "Hmph, you can find out if there is any food!"

    "Come here, search me inside and out!" Zhou Han ordered.

    The security soldiers who received the order acted quickly and began to search for grain inside and outside the grain shop.

    In the several large grain storage warehouses in the back hall, the security soldiers also opened them, but found that they were empty.

    "Master Chief, no food was found."

    Wang Chengfu, the captain of the public security team, came to report to Zhou Han soon.

    "kindness?"

    "No food?"

    Zhou Han was taken aback when he heard the report, he shouldn't have.  ,

    What he learned was that there was a shortage of grain in various grain shops, but there was a large amount of high-priced grain for sale on the black market.

    He suspected that the shopkeepers of these grain shops had done something about it, so he raided the grain shops in order to get all the stolen goods.

    Unexpectedly, there was no food, which made Zhou Han suddenly fall into a very passive state.

    "Has the cellar been searched?"

    "Master Chief, we searched, but nothing."

    Facing the situation of getting nothing, Zhou Han was also a little confused.

    "My lord, I am an upright businessman of the empire, but you led troops in without authorization to slander me for hoarding, but now you can't find any food. I will definitely report this matter to the supervisory committee and report to His Majesty, so that His Majesty will help me  call the shots."

    Seeing that Zhou Han didn't find any food, the store manager also sneered and threatened.

    "Don't scare me anymore, if you make me anxious, I will kill you with one knife!"

    Seeing that the shopkeeper of the grain shop was talking nonsense, Zhou Han also raised his eyebrows, and sternly reprimanded him.

    Seeing Zhou Han's murderous look, the shopkeeper of the grain shop was also terrified and dared not speak any more.

    "Withdraw!"

    After Zhou Han glanced at the shopkeeper, he reluctantly led the team to evacuate.

    "My lord, we didn't find anything either."

    "My lord, all the shops are empty, there is nothing."

    Soon, the security forces who raided the rest of the shops also reported one after another, but they also found nothing.

    Could it be that food, cloth and other items are really sold out?

    But where did the large amount of high-priced food and cloth in the black market come from?

    Zhou Han suddenly realized that what he met was really a cunning opponent.

    "Master Chief, since nothing was found, I will take the brothers back to rest."

    Seeing Zhou Han, Chief of Political Affairs standing there frowning, Wang Chengfu, head of the Public Security Brigade, asked for instructions.

    Seeing that the security soldiers were all looking at him, waiting for his new order, Zhou Han also knew that others were only helping him, and he couldn't stop him from going back.

    "You guys go back first. When the situation stabilizes later, I will buy wine and meat and go to the military camp to reward my brothers."

    Zhou Han also knew that these security soldiers had been tossing around with him for so long, and if they didn't appease them, they would definitely have a problem with him, so he also made an empty promise.

    "Your Excellency, you are welcome, this is what we should do."

    Wang Chengfu, the captain of the security team, also waved his hand with a smile, then left immediately, and took his people away.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
