The victorious army returned to Shihe and was greeted by the people of Shihe. Shihe City is inhabited by the families of the Broken Army or the workers of the Arsenal and their relatives, these people are closely related to Liu Fan and the Broken Army, the victory or defeat of the Broken Army is related to their future life, this time the Broken Army defeated Liu Zeqing's coalition army, it can be said that Jiaozhou is no longer invincible, and Liu Fan has also become the uncrowned king of Shandong Jiaozhou. The stronger Liu Fan is, the better their lives will be, and they still know this truth. So at this moment, the people of Shihe City are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Congratulations to Brother Jimin (Brother Liu, master) for his triumph!" As soon as Liu Fan entered the main hall, several girls suddenly appeared, surrounded Liu Fan, and congratulated him in unison with smiles on their faces.

Liu Fan was startled by the girls who suddenly appeared, and saw a few girls with smiling faces, and his heart was also warm, I don't know when there were always a few people in the family who were waiting for him and worried about himself, and now he is no longer a single person, he Liu Fan is also a family person. At this moment, Liu Fan still had a little guilt in his heart, completely left behind, in this troubled world of life and death, if you want not to be killed, you have to be ruthless. Liu Fan secretly made up his mind that in order to protect his relatives, he would do whatever it takes!

"Sir, what's wrong? Why don't you speak? It won't be happy to be stupid! Xiaozhu saw that Liu Fan didn't speak for a long time, and shook his jade hand in front of Liu Fan's eyes and said.

"Hmmm! Well! I think eighty percent of them are stimulated by something! Sister Xiaozhu, let's go to the doctor! Hearing this, Lu'er looked Liu Fan up and down with her little head for a long time, and then said affirmatively.

Liu Fan, who came back to his senses, was made to smile bitterly by the two girls, glared at the two girls fiercely and said, "Master, it's okay!" I'm so ruthless, sir! Zhu'er dared to tease the old man for seeing how I cleaned you up tonight! And you, Lu'er, aren't you honest anymore? Hum! Would you like to join us tonight? ”

Xiaozhu's face was full of shame, "Master! So many sisters are here! What nonsense are you talking about! Ignore you! Bad apple! With that, he covered his face and ran away.

Lu'er scratched her face and said to Liu Fan, "Hmph! The old man is so thick-skinned! My mind is full of dirty thoughts! I'm going to find Sister Zhu'er! Villain! After saying that, he also ran out.

Liu Fan saw that there were only three girls left, stepped forward and hugged them, and said, "When I finish solving the matter in front of me, I will give you an explanation!" All right? ”

After staying at home for a day, Liu Fan left in a hurry, because Wang Yong came to report early the next morning that the landlords in Jiaozhou had begun to escape. Liu Fan was a little anxious when he heard this, how could he tolerate the fruits of victory to escape when he saw that he had won the victory.

On the morning of the same day, Liu Fan summoned the whole army, and even recalled Li Xiaohu and Wu Tao from Jiaozhou and Jimo, at which Liu Fan announced, "We have defeated Liu Zeqing's coalition army, and since then Jiaozhou has no forces that dare to resist us!" Now is the time for us to reap the fruits of victory! Now I announce! Immediately start the arrest operation, and all the landlords who participated in the rebellion against us in Jiaozhou will arrest me! Don't let anyone slip through the net! Let's do it! ”

"Yes!" The officers replied in unison.

With Liu Fan's order, the Broken Army acted quickly in Jiaozhou, according to Liu Fan's order, all the landlords and gentry did not let go, all were arrested and brought to justice, for five days, Jiaozhou was a piece of chickens and dogs, with the cooperation of the people, no matter where these people were hiding, they were easily found and caught by the Broken Army. Men and women, young and old, were all sent to the camp of the Broken Army in Shihe!

After the arrest was completed, in the big tent of the barracks of the Broken Army, Wang Yong reported to Liu Fan, "My lord! In this operation, more than 50 large and small landlords and gentry were arrested, more than 8,000 personnel were arrested, and more than 5 million silver vehicles were seized. The number of land is too large and too miscellaneous to be counted for a while! However, according to the humble position, most of the land in Jiaozhou is already in our hands! ”

Liu Fan was a little surprised: "There are more than 50 households, and there are 8,000 people? These people are too capable of giving birth, right? ”

Wang Yong said embarrassedly: "My lord! The lowly position is not clear, these people include some of their slaves, some of their families, and some of their children. Originally, the soldiers wanted to let them go home, but these children had been homeless since they were children, and they were loyal to these people, so they had no choice but to arrest them together! In addition, most of these landlords are local clans, and their clan power is very huge, and most of the soldiers encountered resistance during the arrest, and many people were injured! Do you think these people should be arrested together? ”

"Clan power? That's a tricky question! Liu Fan also has a headache about this problem, in fact, Liu Fan has been paying attention to this problem for a long time, but after so long, Liu Fa still has no good countermeasures. The clan issue is too wide-ranging, and it is even closely related to the inheritance of Chinese civilization. A bad handling is even more repelled by the people than the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "shaving order"! This is a forbidden area that is difficult to touch, and Liu Fan does not dare to act rashly, the best way is to slowly disintegrate, and at the same time strengthen the management of the countryside.

After thinking about it, Liu Fan still said: "The affairs of the clan should not be moved lightly, this matter will end here!" The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the problems of these landlords! I'll give you a task, you sort out the past of these landlords, and don't let go of any of the local tyrants and gentry who oppress the people for the rich and unkind, regardless of whether they participated in the coalition army or not. Those landlords with a better reputation, if they didn't participate in the coalition rebellion, don't touch them for the time being, I have other arrangements! These things will be done as soon as possible, and in three days these landlords and gentry will start the trial in Shihe! In addition, he sent someone to inform the prefect and asked him to come to Shihe within three days! ”

"Yes! My lord! I will definitely do it as soon as possible! Wang Yong bowed and replied

After receiving Liu Fan's news, Sun Yuanhua rushed to Shihe that day, and there was such a big thing, in fact, Sun Yuanhua was impatient for a long time, but now Jiaozhou is Liu Fan's final say, and his prefect is just a decoration! Sun Yuanhua is actually a little dissatisfied with his embarrassing position! But he also understands that today's status is all due to Liu Fan! Before coming to take office, Chongzhen had already told him that he came to Jiaozhou this time to cooperate with Liu Fan to be an empty prefect! And Liu Fan has shown enough respect for him in the past few months, plus he is already very old, and he doesn't have much ambition after this blow, so he is content with the status quo! But Liu Fan's action this time was completely unexpected by Sun Yuanhua, this is to wipe out the gentry in Jiaozhou! This is unheard of since ancient times!
