Ye Chen instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye on the families in Yecheng, and if anyone dared to jump out, let them disappear.

"Lord, there are several families who have been sending people to contact the Zhen family, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to us." Guan Yu came back and said to Ye Chen.

"The Zhen family?" Ye Chen sighed secretly, his relationship with the Zhen family was complicated, if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to do anything to the Zhen family.

The Zhen family's business is developed, and it is naturally useful to keep it, but now the business of the entire Han Dynasty is not very developed, and it is still very difficult for Ye Chen to develop it alone, if there are these deep-rooted families to promote the development of business together, there is no doubt that the resistance will be much smaller, which is also the reason why Ye Chen had the conditions at the beginning, but did not continue to deal with the Wei family.

Otherwise, when he has a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, he can completely get rid of the Wei family with Dong Zhuo's hand, or negotiate with Dong Zhuo as a condition, and he can do it.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Zhen family, and report any changes first." In the end, Ye Chen chose to let go of the Zhen family first, and did not do it immediately.

"Young family master, the treasury has been counted." At this time, the tiger head came over with the list and said.

"This Yuan Shao is really a loser." Looking at the list, Ye Chen scolded, there were only about twenty carts of treasures on the list, which meant that most of the treasures that Yuan Shao brought back from Luoyang were spent by him.

In fact, Yuan Shao still saved a little money, he equipped an army of more than 100,000 troops, where can that little money be, this is because he has a deep foundation in Jizhou and many families support him, so Yuan Shao can leave so many treasures.

Ye Chen looked at the list and also seized a batch of weapons and equipment, more than 20,000 pairs, and a large amount of food was found.

Looking at the list, Ye Chen frowned, these are all good things, but they are deep in the den of thieves, so many things can't be taken away at all.

"What should I do?" In the end, there was no way, Ye Chen could only shake his head, the food could still distribute them to the people, but other things could not.

Ye Chen quickly put this problem aside, there are still many more important things to do now.

Finding Tai Shici, Ye Chen said to him: "Big brother, this person will cooperate with you to take down all the family members of Yuan Shao's senior generals and strategists for me." ”

The people around Ye Chen are the intelligence leaders here, and Jizhou's proximity to Youzhou has always been the focus of Ye Chen's business, so he knows a lot about Jizhou very well.

Tai Shi Ci frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Second brother, wouldn't it be too unkind to do this?" ”

Although the two sides are enemies, Tai Shici still doesn't want to do the kidnapping of people's wives and children, the family who arrested Yuan Shao is very understandable, and Tai Shici will do the same, but everyone else is their own master.

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't embarrass them if I arrest them, I just want to use this to disintegrate Yuan Shao's team, please do it, no matter what the result is, I will put them all back, and I won't hurt any of them, of course, provided they don't resist."

Tai Shici listened to Ye Chen's words without any hesitation, and immediately took someone to do it.

It is not difficult to arrest people at all, because with the support of intelligence in the early stage, it is easy to capture them all.

Ye Chen is in action, and the families in Yecheng are very panicked, what these families are most afraid of is falling into Ye Chen's hands, and they are not afraid of others occupying Yecheng, because no one dares to deal with them, only some of them.

In the Three Kingdoms, warlords fought each other, but no matter who occupied the city, most of them would be kind to the local families, because the warlords needed the support of the families to govern these places.

This is because the Maisons have the knowledge, and the vast majority of the scholars come from these families.

But Ye Chen is a wonder, he doesn't rely on the family at all, now after several years of development in Liaodong, there are a lot of literate people, and dividing these people is enough to fill the gap in the family, and Ye Chen has no plans to expand his territory now.

"Alas, this Ye Xiaoyou has a very big problem for me." Zhen Yi stayed alone in the gazebo for a long time.

Ye Chen occupied the city yesterday afternoon, and today, more than a dozen families have found him and asked him to come forward to get an idea.

Many families in Yecheng have a higher status than Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi's family is the richest and has the most customers, so he can make up 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus people from other families, it is not difficult to make up more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

These families put pressure on Zhen Yi to come out and resist Ye Chen, but Zhen Yi knew very well that even if they scraped together 20,000 people, they would not be Ye Chen's opponents, and in the end they could only bring destruction to their respective families.

But Zhen Yi was very entangled, if he didn't do it this time, how could many families put pressure on him, and he would be very sad after Ye Chen left.

Zhen Yi is a family and a businessman, he was not excluded by the family, because his ancestors and himself were both officials, and their official positions had also reached Taishou, which was a relatively prestigious family.

But in the face of more than a dozen families in Jizhou putting pressure on him, he still couldn't resist.

"The head of the family, Liaodong Ye Chen has sent a prayer post, and he is going to visit the head of the family in the evening." At this time, the subordinates of the Zhen Mansion sent a letter of worship.

Zhen Yi took the post, and the post was very formal.

"What the hell is Ye Chen going to do?"

Zhen Yi was puzzled, now that Ye Chen controlled Yecheng, according to Ye Chen's previous practices, these families had no role in front of him at all, all he had to do was to scrape and scrape all the property.

So if he wants to come, he doesn't need to make any condolences at all, just bring the troops to break in, or let someone inform him, this Zhen Yi has to hurry up to see him, there is no need for Ye Chen to come in person, and he also sent a prayer post.

"Hurry up and prepare, and greet Ye Chen ceremoniously in the evening." Zhen Yi couldn't guess what Ye Chen was going to do, so he had to order a grand reception.

Ye Chen, who was in the State Pastoral Mansion, laughed evilly, of course he didn't have any good intentions when he went to the Zhen Mansion tonight.

Those families wanted to deal with Ye Chen, and he also knew it, so he planned to strike first, and the Zhen family was the one who could gather the largest number of troops in the city.

However, Zhen Yi is both an official and a businessman, a businessman knows the most about current affairs and understands that his strength is not equal, so he can only choose to give in, and if he wants to fight hard, he will inevitably collapse.

So Ye Chen also knew that Zhen Yi had never made up his mind, from the original intention, he didn't want to confront Ye Chen at all, Ye Chen collected property, but never killed anyone, it was nothing more than the loss of some money, Zhen Yi didn't pay attention to it at all.

Even if all the property in Yecheng was robbed by Ye Chen, their Zhen family still had a lot of property in other places, and they couldn't hurt the foundation at all, how could Zhen Yi choose to confront Ye Chen in this case.

But many families put pressure on Zhen Yi, if Zhen Yi doesn't do it, these people have a deep influence in Jizhou, and it will be difficult for him to do it.

Before arresting the family members of high-ranking officials in Jizhou and going to visit Zhen Yi, Ye Chen had only one purpose, which was to divide Jizhou, make them unable to cohesion, and plant a few more mines in Jizhou.
