(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

In the Zhu family's compound in Dapu County, when the Zhu family's father and son, who were originally preparing to flee, were still packing their bags, they were broken into by the Mawei Army and arrested the main members of the Zhu family. Zhu Wu, the third son of the Zhu family, was a standard gentleman, and when the Mawei army attacked the county seat, he had just been called out of the brothel by the Zhu family, and met his eldest brother Zhu Mao on the road and returned home together. When the Mawei army broke the city, the two of them had just arrived home, and they and Zhu Dafu and Zhu Sheng didn't know that the city gate had been broken. And the Mawei Army was on this front and back foot, and they controlled several main roads in the city where few people were seen, blocking the mansions of several large households.

When the Mawei Army broke in, Third Young Master Zhu didn't know what was going on outside at the moment, and he didn't think that it was the Mawei Army that had attacked the city, and he and the other Zhu family members had the same opinion, and they all felt that it was possible to break the city gate with only two hundred people. And at this moment, as long as the city gate is intact, then his Zhu family will be the most powerful family in Dapu County, but now, seeing that someone actually dares to spread wild in his Zhu family's compound, he immediately led people to rush up and wanted to beat out more than a dozen horsetail warriors.

But he didn't know what he was doing at all, the Mawei soldiers were threatened, and it was also the haste of the two parties to meet, when the third young master Zhu led a group of family members up, the Mawei soldiers didn't hesitate, and shot directly, putting down the circle of people in front of them. Third Young Master Zhu was miserable, he bore the brunt of the attack, he was taken care of by the soldiers, and went to see the king of Hades on the spot. At the same time, a few people were killed, and the rest of the intact ones were all frightened and stupid. Who is this? Dare to kill people in public in the courtyard of the Zhu family in the county seat!

Wait until the Mawei Army identifies. Capture Zhu Dafu, Zhu Mao and Zhu Sheng. He was tied up and thrown into a room to be guarded by two warriors. There was no other action, and even some of the doors were not entered. The daughters of the Zhu family saw that a soldier had entered their home, and at this time they also learned that the third young master of the Zhu family had died, and the master, the eldest young master and the second young master had become prisoners, and the family members of the Zhu family were suddenly frightened. The Mawei Army didn't embarrass these women, but they were not allowed to leave the courtyard. The Mawei Army only closed the Zhu family's compound and controlled the Zhu family's father and son, and didn't care about anything else, anyway, it didn't matter to the others, not to mention that those people couldn't escape from this compound.

After knowing what happened, Zhu Dafu's original wife and his two daughters-in-law, Zhu Mao and Zhu Sheng's original wife, got together, closed the door and hid and cried quietly. In fact, hiding in the house is not much use. The other householders, servants, maids, servants, and others, although not as scared as they were, were also a little uneasy. From time to time, you can hear small sobs in the mansion.

By the next morning, the people in the Zhu family's compound had not eaten for two meals, and they were all grumbling with hunger, but they didn't dare to go to the Mawei soldiers to complain. Some of the clever family members found some dried steamed buns in the kitchen and ate them with cold water, so that they would not starve. And the others who did not dare to walk around were miserable and could only starve. As for Zhu Dafu's original wife and others, they were not starved, and the room they were in had good snacks all year round, although they were a little dry and there was no water in the pot, but they were not hungry at all.

After a night of pacification, the tense atmosphere in Dapu County is still not as tense as yesterday, but many people still choose not to go out and hide at home. This morning, two hundred soldiers entered the city in batches, inspected the streets, and posted a post announcing that this was already the territory of the Mawei Army, so that the people did not need to panic, and as usual, they could live their lives. At noon, the follow-up 300 recruits entered Dapu County with 15 people from the Ministry of Administration, and after taking over the affairs of the county, Zhang Hu took them into Zhu's house and began a formal search of Zhu's house. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard the sound of crying. It is said that these female dependents have been crying since last night, which shows that these female dependents have really many tears, and they have not dried up after crying all night. Zhang Hu also felt quite funny at the moment, but he already knew what kind of family the Zhu family was at the moment, and they probably didn't expect that they would have today.

Zhang Hu himself is also from a poor family, so he usually hates such bullies the most. On the way here, Officer Tao of the Ministry of Government Affairs took a copy of the charges of the Zhu family's father and son collected by the Ministry of Intelligence before and showed Zhang Hu a look, and Zhang Hu was so angry that he really wanted to run to the Zhu family's compound immediately and cut the Zhu family and others on the spot. Over the years, the Zhu family's bullying of men and women has been regarded as the smallest thing, and in order to annex other people's property, more than ten people have been killed, and there are countless other bits and pieces. However, this was basically done by Zhu Dafu and his eldest son and third son, and Zhu Sheng only participated in one incident.

"Officer Tao, the Zhu family's father and son have been arrested, since the evidence is conclusive now, did you kill them directly?" In the courtyard of the Zhu family, a large number of large boxes were placed in the center of the courtyard, most of these boxes were the wealth of the Zhu family, and several boxes were the accounts recorded by the Zhu family, and one of the boxes was the account book where they put the money. In Dapu County, there are many people who owe him money to the Zhu family, and I don't know how many hard-working people will die in terms of the accounts here. Zhang Hu looked at these "evidences" and asked Officer Tao on the side.

"Captain Zhang, you are impatient, you should know that the Metropolitan Governor has ordered that every prisoner must be tried before he can be convicted. It is true that the evidence of the Zhu family's father and son is still found, and it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, but it has to go through the trial of the county magistrate Wu. When the time comes, you will have to cooperate with your army to justify it in front of the people! Officer Tao smiled and responded to Zhang Hu, they also have a complete set of processes for doing things, and they will not settle a case hastily at will. They were sent here to pacify and manage the place, and the fifteen new arrivals, the highest being Wu Yi, the newly appointed county magistrate, and the others were all officials, but they were responsible for different things.

The affairs of a county include all aspects, and one person cannot complete it at all. Eventually, some of the former local officials will have to be used. But there is also a principle for this enablement. It is not casual to restore the original officials. Kill a batch, pull a batch, and clear a batch. This matter will be started in less than two days. These officers will be the heads of various departments in the county. For example, Officer Tao is still in charge of patrolling the "suspect" who was detained with the army, and in a few days, he will become the head of justice in Dapu County!

"That's right, it's the same in our army, you have to go through a trial before you can finally be convicted, otherwise you can only be called a suspect. It's good. After the trial, no matter how the canonical punishment is clarified, it will also let the people of Dapu know what kind of army our Mawei Army is. Zhang Hu nodded, he still knew this truth.

"But this is not enough, the evidence of these deaths alone cannot resonate with the whole city, it is best to have the people who have really been persecuted by the Zhu family to go to the county government to correct, if the conditions are ripe, we can also directly hold a trial meeting, just like the trial of pirates back then, and quickly win the hearts of the people." Officer Tao frowned and thought seriously.

Zhang Hu listened to Secretary Tao's words. He also thought that he had no share in judging the most heinous pirates. But when I returned to my hometown on leave, I heard about the whole process of the trial more than once. This trick is directly effective!

The two were still chatting, when they suddenly heard a soldier shouting at the gate outside: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

I only heard the humanitarian: "Master Bing, the villain has grievances!" Ask the soldier to call the shots for the villains! ”

The warriors outside didn't speak so harshly at this time: "If you have been wronged, go to the county government to beat the drum and sound the grievances!" What do you want us to do? We are soldiers, and we don't care about the trial. ”

The man said again: "Master Bing, the people in the county government have colluded with the Zhu family, and they won't even accept our papers." What's more, the county officials in the county are their Zhu family, so they will ignore us, if we go to the county government to complain, not only will they not accept the complaint, but they will also beat us up, and even say that we are falsely accused, and we will be arrested close to prison. Today, I saw that you were surrounding the Zhu family, and it didn't look like you were colluding with them, so I thought in my heart that only you could call the shots for the villain. ”

When Zhang Hu and Officer Tao heard this, the two glanced at each other, and they both instantly understood what the other party thought, so Zhang Hu turned his head and said to the soldiers outside the door: "Bring them in, I will ask him personally." ”

When the fighters outside heard this, they immediately replied: "Yes!" Then he said to the man, "Come in with me, and our chief will ask you, and if you have been wronged, go and tell him." ”

The man hurriedly said: "Okay, good, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

The soldier who talked to this person said: "What kind of soldier is not a soldier, don't call us that in the future, just call us Brother Bing!" ”

The man who was brought to Zhang Hu was a man in the prime of his thirties, who was indeed strong, followed by a child of about ten years old. Seeing Zhang Hu, the two immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the big master!" ”

"Hehe, it seems that you didn't listen to what you just said, just call us Brother Bing, I'm not a big man!" Zhang Hu said as he helped him up, and then said in a harmonious voice: "It seems that brother, you are older than me, what is your name." ”

The strong man said: "Return... The words of the eldest brother of the return army, the little... The villain's name is Han Biao, and this is my son Han Hu. ”

At this time, Director Tao said: "Brother Han Biao, don't be afraid, if you have any grievances, you can talk slowly." We, the Mawei Army, are here to be the masters of the people. ”

Probably seeing that the attitude of Zhang Hu and Secretary Tao was indeed very kind, Han Biao's timidity had also gone a lot, and he also felt hopeful, so he choked up and said, "Master, you have to be the master for me!" ”

Zhang Hu and Officer Tao touched their heads, this person didn't listen to it at all, he just called Brother Bing, and now he immediately changed it back, forget it, let him call! Zhang Hu patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Brother Han Biao, don't cry, if you have something to say, if you have grievances, we will make decisions for you, just say it, is it related to the Zhu family?" ”

Han Biao wiped a handful of tears: "Yes, their Zhu family not only robbed our tea garden and forced my wife to death, but also Zhu Laosan also snatched my daughter, for a few days, the villain had no way to ask for help, and the old mother at home was also seriously ill in bed."
