Chapter 103: Horse Thieves Raid (Part 13)
The county magistrate of Zaoqiang County wanted to inquire about the news several times, but Zhang Fei drove him away.
Zhang Fei looks arrogant, and no one is afraid.
I didn't find out what specific news I had, and the county magistrate of Zaoqiang County couldn't sleep well.
And Yuan Hai is the same, he knows that his home has been burned down, and all the family members have been killed, and at the same time, there are corpses inside and out, and he doesn't know how many people have died as a guest of the Yuan family.
The next day, a terrible piece of news spread around the city.
Around, there is a very powerful bandit who is causing trouble, robbing houses and houses, and doing all kinds of evil.
At the same time, during the day, many people saw this bandit with their own eyes.
They all rode fast horses and wandered around, and there were even horse thieves in several towns.
In this way, everyone in the surrounding city is at risk.
And this team that has appeared several times is none other than Zhang Ning's team.
Zhang Ning's team dressed up as horse thieves, and during the day, they deliberately appeared a few times.
Another day passed, and Yuan Hai did not receive any news.
There is no news from the Yuan family's doormen, only that they have suffered a lot of casualties.
At the same time, there is no news about how Zhang Ming and Lu Zhi are.
There are rumors that Zhang Ming died, and there are also rumors that Zhang Ming was seriously injured.
That night, the pillar returned.
"What do I want?"
"Instructor, we found out a lot of news about their own family and some side branches."
The pillar handed a large stack of paper to Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming began to delete the selection.
After searching for about an hour, Zhang Ming picked out a few pieces of paper and said: "These families, break their Zhuangzi, loot all their belongings, and then burn them clean, but don't kill more, let those who can escape." ”
Zhang Ming handed a few pieces of paper to the pillar, and then said, "You send someone to guide Zhang Ning and convey orders. ”
Zhang Ning was not with Zhang Ming, just to pretend to be a thief.
Another day passed, and the matter of the bandits was already boiling.
On the third night of Zhang Ming's attack.
This gang of "horse thieves" appeared, and in one night, they broke through three Zhuangzi, killed dozens of people, and most importantly, all their property was looted, and then Zhuangzi was burned with fire.
Of these three, one of them has a close relationship with Yuan Hai, and the other two are also close people of Yuan Shao's own family.
When Yuan Hai received the news, he was simply frightened.
"What's going on, how did you fight your own people."
Yuan Hai was extremely anxious, but this matter was very secret, and the people around him didn't know, and he couldn't send someone to find Zhang Ning and them.
In the fright, Yuan Hai had already spent three days.
In the past three days, he has not eaten well or slept well, and he is very haggard.
On this day, Yuan Hai went to the county magistrate of Zaoqiang County with a gift.
Yuan Hai was still very influential in the local area, and the county magistrate greeted him respectfully.
"Lord Yuan, don't worry, our government will definitely arrest these horse thieves as soon as possible." The county order thought that Yuan Hai was here to exert pressure, after all, Yuan Hai's Zhuangzi was burned.
"Lord Chen, Chen Daxian order, the horse thief must be arrested, but I can wait, but Lu Gong and Zhang Taishou happened to be guests in my Zhuangzi that day, I want to know their safety."
"I just hid that day, I was not found, and when I came back, I was scared and fell seriously ill, and now I have not recovered, and my family members have also been killed, I can't find anyone else, I can only come to you."
Chen Xianling saw that Yuan Hai's face was indeed very bad.
"Lord Yuan, I won't tell you anything, I have been to Zhang Taishou's garrison a few times, but I didn't go at all, and his soldiers were not allowed to approach."
"You must confirm Zhang Taishou's safety, no matter what method you use."
Yuan Hai used the power of the Yuan family to directly put pressure, and this Chen County Order had no choice but to go again.
Similarly, Chen Xianling couldn't find any useful news, and Zhang Ming wouldn't let him find out anything.
That night, Zhang Ning attacked again and swept another house.
This time it is a side branch of the Yuan family, and it has a very close relationship with the main family.
Suddenly, everyone around them was in danger.
Chen County's order was very tense with the surrounding officials, and Yecheng finally sent an army of 5,000 people to suppress the bandits.
And Zhang Ming still hasn't appeared.
Another day came, and the whereabouts of the horse thieves became even more arrogant, and they actually sent spies to openly probe around.
The horse thief is too arrogant.
Yuan Hai really couldn't stand it.
So, find someone to contact Zhang Ning secretly.
"Go and reply to your master, we want money, and if you want us to stop, we need at least two truckloads of money."
What else did the person want to say, Zhang Ning directly sent someone to throw the person out.
The person who came didn't know that Yuan Hai was in a gang with the original bandits, and there was a deal, so he couldn't explain Yuan Hai's meaning clearly.
Yuan Hai's worst fear appeared.
The other party said that it would continue to attack.
Helpless.
Yuan Haizhen sent two carts of copper coins.
Zhang Ning took the money and went to loot another Zhuangzi of Yuan Hai that night, and then burned his Zhuangzi clean.
This Zhuangzi did not have much property, but if a Zhuangzi was burned, it was also a great loss.
Yuan Hai wanted to cry without tears.
In fact, he was more afraid of the news leakage and revenge by Zhang Ming.
He couldn't sleep well and didn't know Zhang Ming's situation.
If Zhang Ming hadn't died, he wouldn't have anything, Yuan Shao wouldn't have protected him, and Zhang Ming would have sought revenge on him.
On the fifth day, news finally came.
Zhang Ming's big camp has been set up.
Go straight to Yecheng.
The team defended tightly, and still didn't let people get close.
Similarly, Zhang Ming's situation is still not close.
No one knows what happened to Zhang Ming.
Two days later, Zhang Ming and the others entered Yecheng.
It was Zhang Ming's three brothers who came out to negotiate, they had the title of general, they were officials of the imperial court, and it was no problem to bring people into the city.
Zhang Ming and Lu Zhi have not shown up.
At this time, Yuan Hai didn't dare to leave Zaoqiang County at all, so he could only wait for news.
And the range of activities of the horse thieves has also become larger, when the army of Yecheng arrived, the horse thieves ran in the direction of Yecheng, they were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind.
After arriving in Yecheng, within two or three days, they ransacked several Zhuangzi, some large and some small, most of them were directly set on fire, without killing people or looting money, they just set fire to the Zhuangzi and burned them clean.
Several Zhuangzi around Yecheng were burned.
This is a major event that will shake the whole of Jizhou.
Jizhou assassin history, did not dare to have any slack, and immediately sent troops to suppress the bandits.
However, their army could not find any trace of the horse thieves at all.
Thousands of troops, chasing and intercepting around, are of little use.
For three days in a row, the horse thieves set fire everywhere, not only had a good relationship with the Yuan family, but also burned a lot of other irrelevant things.
After that, the horse thieves left and set fire to the surrounding county seats.
The entire hinterland of Jizhou is in chaos.
The soldiers and horses around Yecheng moved back and forth, but they never found any trace of Zhang Ning and them.
