Chapter 514 Chapter 515
General Liu led his men and horses to the halfway point, and saw a group of men and horses galloping in front of them. The man in the lead was covered with beard, making it difficult to see his true face.
General Liu remembered that Chu Shan had mentioned Mr. Zhou to him, and he seemed to be acting like this.
The people on the opposite side also saw the men and horses led by General Liu, and gradually slowed down. Zhou Jia was riding on the horse, looking at the majestic general riding on the tall horse opposite, and asked: "Is that General Liu Yuan Liu in front?"
General Liu looked at him and replied: "Exactly, are you Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Jia jumped off the horse, smiled and saluted him: "Exactly."
"Master Zhou, I just happened to meet you." General Liu smiled heartily and jumped off the horse.
Zhou Jia looked at the officers and soldiers behind Liu Yuan, but Chu Shan and Ding Yi came out to meet them. He cupped his hands and said, "General Liu, how is the matter at Qingyue Mountain?"
General Liu was busy returning to Yuezhou and said to Zhou Jia: "Master Zhou, you don't need to go to Qingyue Mountain. Let's go back to Yuezhou together and talk while walking."
"Okay." Zhou Jia nodded and mounted his horse, heading towards Yuezhou with General Liu's troops.
While resting at the post station, General Liu told Zhou Jia what he had discovered in the valley of Qingyue Mountain. He took a deep breath and said, "Master Zhou, I am still a little scared when I think about it. There are so many weapons in the cave. Once the Cheng family Rising..."
Although Zhou Jia didn't see it with his own eyes, he felt scared after hearing Liu Yuan's description.
The two groups rested for a while and then continued on their way. They finally arrived at the gate of Yuezhou Prefecture in the afternoon. Seeing General Liu who was out training troops returning to the city, the ten commanders guarding the city hurriedly came down from the top of the city and saluted: "Greetings to the general. "
After General Liu asked him to get up, he asked, "Do you know where General Zou is now?"
The tenth commander bowed and said: "Back to the general, General Zou Shen returned to the city yesterday and has not left the city to return to the camp."
General Liu nodded, "Inform the guards at several city gates that all people entering and leaving must be checked before they can be released. All members of the Cheng family, Feng family and General Zou Shen's family will be captured."
After receiving the order, the captain went with his people to convey the order.
General Liu said to Zhou Jia, who had regained his original appearance: "Master Zhou, I will take dozens of people to the Zou family to control General Zou. You lead people to surround the Cheng family and capture Feng Qing."
"Okay, let's work separately." After Zhou Jia agreed, he led a large group of people to the Cheng family.
The large group of people entered the city, attracting the attention of passers-by. Passers-by moved to both sides. Some people recognized that the leader was the imperial envoy who had just arrived. Seeing that the people and horses were heading towards the Cheng family, they all started talking, and the bold ones were still far away. I followed the team from a distance and planned to watch the fun.
Zhou Jia led people to the door of Cheng's house, took out a golden sign, and shouted: "People inside listen, from now on, no entry or exit is allowed."
When Menzi saw this, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran inside. After running a few steps and falling, he got up and continued running inside with a sad face.
"Surround the Cheng family, no one is allowed in or out." Zhou Jia gave the order, and the officers and soldiers immediately took action and began to surround the Cheng family mansion.
Zhou Jia turned to the secret guards and Zhaocai and said, "Each of you will lead a team of people to the Cheng family mansion, gather all the people in the open space, and imprison them to prevent them from wandering around.
Search the property in the house, as well as the correspondence and account books, and find out the secret room in the house, as well as the young master of the third room of the Cheng family. "
"Yes, sir." After Zhaocai took the order, he and the secret guards rushed into the Cheng house.
Zhou Jia took Ruyi and a group of people and went straight to the government office.
The doorman stumbled to the second door, shouting sternly, "Master, it's not good, the raiders are coming, it's not good..."
"What?" When Cheng Shan heard the report, he collapsed on the ground, struggled to get up, and ran to the small house. The prosperous Cheng family was in chaos.
When the eldest prince heard the news that the Cheng family was besieged, he thought of the Zhou family's repeated mischief against him, and said bitterly: "It's this Zhou family again."
Cheng Shan slumped on the chair dejectedly, "It's over, everything is over."
The eldest prince glanced at him coldly, then looked up at the three men in green standing at the door, "Chu Jia, you leave immediately and wait on the way back to the capital. Kill Zhou to avenge this king. After revenge, , you are now free, find a remote place to settle down, and live the rest of your life!"
The three of them glanced at the eldest prince, agreed, knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, got up and ran quickly to the backyard wall, jumped up on the wall, jumped down and ran away.
Officials broke into Cheng's house fiercely and drove everyone into the outer courtyard. All the ornaments and jewelry in the house were confiscated, and the ladies in the inner courtyard screamed in terror.
Seeing that everything that originally belonged to them was confiscated by these rough soldiers, the Cheng family felt that the sky was not responding and the earth was not working.
Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were carried into the yard, and house deeds and banknotes were all confiscated.
When Zhou Jia arrived at the government office, he led his men straight into Magistrate Feng's signature room. Magistrate Feng saw Zhou Jia breaking in and said angrily: "Master Zhou, I want to..."
The sign in Zhou Jia's hand flashed in front of his eyes, and he said to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Take it."
Magistrate Feng struggled and looked at Zhou Jia with a stern expression, "Why do you arrest me? I will sue you."
"The reason why I arrested you has been reported to His Majesty." Zhou Jia walked up to him and looked at him coldly, "Feng Qing, the miners in Qingyue Mountain have been rescued. You don't know what you did. ?"
It's over, it's over. After hearing this, Feng Qing trembled all over and begged: "Master Zhou, they are all from the Cheng family. They forced me. For the sake of my colleagues, please let me go. I won't treat you badly." .”
The dignified magistrate was forced by the Cheng family. He was such a shameless person to say such things. Zhou Jia gave him a disgusted look and said, "You can save this and go back to Beijing to tell His Majesty!"
Lin Tongzhi and Wu Tongzhi also came after hearing the news. Seeing Magistrate Feng who was shaking like chaff after taking off his official hat, Wu Tongzhi showed a clear look in his eyes, and Lin Tongzhi's face was as pale as a mourning heir.
Zhou Jia looked at Wu Tongjian and said: "Master Wu, you will handle the government affairs first. I will ask your Majesty for orders."
Judge Wu Tong bowed his head and saluted, "I obey your orders."
Zhou Jia nodded, "You lead people to raid the Houya, confiscate the property, and put all the family members in prison. Then send a few scribes to the Cheng family to inventory the property."
"Yes, sir." Wu Tongpan asked someone to take Feng Qing down.
Zhou Jia looked at Lin Tongzhi and said, "Lin Tongzhi, please suspend all official duties and wait for His Majesty's disposal in the back office."
When Lin Tongzhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Zhou Jia and retreated.
Zhou Jia turned around and left for the Cheng family. He saw that the yard was full of masters and servants of the Cheng family, and the open space in the yard was filled with belongings taken out of the house.
Zhaocai pointed to the side courtyard and said, "Sir, that may be the person living there, and there are two girls waiting inside."
Zhou Jia thought that he was a member of the royal family after all. He didn’t know what His Majesty would do with him, so he might as well just let him be in there!
"Don't worry about him for now. We will wait until His Majesty's decree arrives before making a decision. Have you found the young master of the third room of the Cheng family?"
