The sun is shining, not only did Liu Zhang only sleep for two hours last night, but the patriarch of the Zhang family was also busy all night, and discussed with the patriarchs of several Jiangzhou clans all night, preparing to complete his work today, completely dispelling Liu Zhang's idea of being a member of the four imperial examinations, and the patriarch of the Zhang family seemed to see that after the matter was completed, the prestige of the Zhang family was in full swing.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people gathered to go to the county government, surrounded at the gate of the county government, the people on both sides of the street went out to watch, these people have scholars, farmers, gentry, almost all the three religions and nine streams, shouting slogans against the four imperial examinations, the Zhang family and other patriarchs of various ethnic groups watched on the side, but what makes them strange is that the gate of the county government is closed today, and the three poles on the sun do not open the door.

The patriarchs only thought that Liu Zhang was afraid of public opinion, and became even more proud.

In the county government, Liu Zhang sat on the main seat of the hall with a cold face, and Zhang Ren stood next to him according to his sword, the weather in May, the hall was cold, all the officials of the Jiangzhou County Government arrived, Liu Zhang said coldly: "Summoning you today, this official has only one order, those who support the four imperial examinations stand on the left, and those who oppose stand on the right." ”

Officials, you look at me, I look at you, Zhang He thinks that he is from the largest clan in Jiangzhou, and he took the lead to the right, and the other clan officials also followed up, but found that none of the subordinate officials followed, and he couldn't help but glare at these people fiercely.

In normal times, these subordinate officials were glared at by the chief officer, and they immediately wanted to follow them, but they were recruited by Wang Ti last night, and they couldn't hear that Liu Zhang was going to attack the county officials, and today Liu Zhang's face was not good, between being oppressed by the chief officer and sending him to death, these subordinate officials all chose the former, hesitated to the left, and attracted a piercing threatening look from the official on the right.

"Are you all standing? Has it not changed? Liu Zhang walked down the steps and said in a cold voice.

At this moment, Facao Shi Deng Yuan suddenly took a step forward, and then quickly ran to the left to stand still, causing a burst of surprise and anger among the other officials, Deng Yuan didn't dare to look up, he just remembered Deng Heng's words last night, he didn't believe it at the time, but now seeing Liu Zhang's eyes, he believed it.

"Are you all standing? Has it not changed? Liu Zhang repeated.

Deng Yuan's escape made the officials on the left nervous, and they all faintly felt that something bad was happening, but the strong backing of the family made them stand firmly in place.

After half a minute, Liu Zhang nodded and signaled to Zhang Ren, who immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Take down all the people on the right." ”

"Yes." A group of Dongzhou tiger and wolf soldiers immediately poured out, detaining all the officials on the right to the ground, Zhang He roared loudly: "Lord, what crime have we committed. ”

"I don't have time to talk to you." Liu Zhang flicked the sleeves of his robe, stepped out of the door, and said to Yang Huai at the door: "Open the door and welcome guests." ”

"It seems that Liu Zhang is too timid to come out, Old Man Zhang, let's go back and have a cup of tea, the sun is too strong standing here." The patriarch of the Yuan family said with a smile.

The patriarch of the Zhang family nodded, a handful of old bones could not stand the sun, and he was about to leave, at this time, he saw Deng Heng and his clansmen coming from a distance, shouting slogans in support of the four imperial examinations, except for Deng Heng, the other Deng family members all shouted numbly.

When several patriarchs of the big clans saw the arrival of the Deng family, they shouted such slogans, they were shocked and angry, and the patriarch of the Zhang family couldn't help but step forward to ask Deng Heng, but Deng Heng ignored it, and the angry old man Zhang blew his beard and glared.

Only Deng Heng knew how determined he was and what means he used to make the Deng family succumb.

When he returned home last night, he immediately summoned all the family members, and everyone distributed weapons, and then Xingye sent someone to send a message to convene an emergency family meeting, and then after all the parents in the clan arrived, Deng Heng used force to force these clansmen to support the four imperial examinations, and those who opposed it were all locked up.

Deng Heng recalled that he was almost sixty years old, and this was the first time he had such courage.

The gate of the county government was opened with a heavy sound, and the noise outside immediately entered the palace, and those who surrounded it immediately rushed in as soon as they saw that the county government was open and there were no guards, but at this moment, countless soldiers poured out on both sides, armed with spears, and surrounded hundreds of people.

When the patriarch of the big clan who was watching outside saw this scene, and saw Zhang He and the others being escorted out of the hall by the sergeant, they were all shocked, and before several patriarchs could react, a group of sergeants came out from behind and took down all the old patriarchs.

At this time, Deng Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said to himself, it seems that he is not on the wrong side.

"Go out of town."

Liu Zhang ordered in a deep voice, stepped on the war horse, guarded by the heavy regiment, hundreds of people were escorted by the sergeants in the middle, the patriarch of the Zhang family and several old men were violently pushed by the Dongzhou soldiers, and the people near the county government opened the windows and doors to watch, only to see that the patriarch of the county and the officials of Jiangzhou were almost all detained, and they all looked incredulous, and some people couldn't help but follow the detention team.

And on the way, these people saw soldiers surging everywhere, these soldiers looked murderous, and many rich people dragged their families and mouths out of the mansion by the sergeants.

When the patriarch of the Yuan family saw this scene, his heart rose to his throat, and he trembled and said to the patriarch of the Zhang family: "Old man Zhang, this, what's going on, what is Liu Zhang going to do?" ”

The patriarch of the Zhang family was also very frightened in his heart, and vaguely felt that Liu Zhang had made a big move, but he didn't believe that Liu Zhang dared to attack all the clans in Jiangzhou, at most he lied and threatened, and said to the patriarch of the Yuan family in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Liu Zhang's color is very inward, and now he is putting on such a battle, but he wants to force us to give in by force, we can't be fooled, the old man has lived for seventy years, and he is still a little tender when he plays this trick with the old man." ”

Dianjiang surging into the Yangtze River, Jiangzhou stands at the confluence of two waters, starting from the Western Han Dynasty, Jiangzhou leads the water of the two rivers as a moat, sanitation is the first big city in southern Shu.

To the east of Jiangzhou, outside the moat, is a large field, when Liu Zhang entered Jiangzhou City, set up a military camp here, and at this time outside the camp, thousands of Dongzhou soldiers stood with spears, surrounded a large square area, and two hundred knives stood in the center with wide-backed broadswords.

In the city, the children of the clan were escorted out of the city gate one after another, pressed to the ground by the arrogant Dongzhou soldiers, and the woodcutters and fishermen who passed by couldn't help but stop and watch, until Liu Zhang came out of the city with thousands of soldiers, and the military camp was surrounded by a sea of people.

Several patriarchs of the big clans, more than 20 officials, and hundreds of troublemakers and other children of the clan were detained together, there were more than 2,000 people, Liu Zhang, under the escort of the generals, walked to the high platform with his sword in hand, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan stood on both sides, Deng Heng and Fei Zhao stood on the first step, and the two of them clenched their palms together, until now they still couldn't believe that Liu Zhang really dared to attack so many clans.
