"General, there are people who have come to complain again, or let them go to the county?"

"Well, send a chief to lead troops to protect." Zhou Tai said.

Although Zhou Tai has been reinstated as a captain, but in the absence of a more senior commander in the army, of course, they are all called generals, who would be so discerning, specifically called "Captain Zhou"?

At this time, it was Zhou Tai, stationed outside the Xu clan's land—hundreds of acres of fields around him were all the property of the Xu clan.

In fact, in terms of fields, the Xu family is not much wider than Lu Su, but it is ...... Xu's biggest asset is livestock, and the land that the buffalo replaced before was divided in the entire Wu County and even Huiji, adding up to thousands of hectares, which is not weaker than the family with poor accumulation and "poverty", but because it has not been changed to one place, it can only collect rent.

"Whoa!" After receiving the order, the pro-soldier immediately went to arrange an escort.

Since Zhou Tai came to the neighborhood and stationed nearby, he has not received many people who came to accuse Xu's evil deeds.

However, it is clearly written in the military regulations that it is the work of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials and the criminal clans, and the officers have the responsibility to convey and protect the plaintiff on their behalf, but they have no right to deal with it directly - of course, this refers to the "jurisdiction of the war zone" of the chariot general Bai Tu, if it is in the sphere of influence of other princes, they can be in power.

There are three main types of accusations against Xu, one is to destroy the Fuchun deep well, the second is to snatch the deep well, and the third is to bully men and women...... The number also decreases sequentially.

There are also some unbelievable rumors, such as the reason why Xu Gong destroyed the deep well was because he disliked the deep well and damaged the feng shui of the Xu family, and every time he destroyed a deep well, a pair of boys and girls would be sealed in it, and some said that the Xu family slaughtered an entire village in order to snatch the deep well to feed the cattle and horses, and even worse...... It is said that the people of the Xu family can do witchcraft, and after peeling off the cowhide, sewing it on the person's body, it will turn the person into a cow!

Zhou Tai also doubted who was spreading rumors, and he was quite imaginative......

At first, Zhou Taidu believed it and dug several deep wells that were destroyed, but he didn't find any boys and girls. I believe you are a ghost!

It's just that although Zhou Tai doesn't believe it, there are too many people who believe it, and now almost all the missing children in Fuchun County within ten years have been detained on Xu's head, and the slaughter of the village or something is even more unreasonable, and there is no need for a witness - don't ask, if you ask, you will be killed, so there is no witness!

Some people even swore that they had seen Xu's cow talk......

Anyway, Zhou Tai didn't find anything, but he didn't have the duty to help him refute the rumors, so they had to go.

As for the people who were really wronged, they came to Zhou Tai to complain, and he also sent people to Fuchun - Fuchun Ling had been taken down by the officials because of dereliction of duty and collusion with bandits, in the laughter of the people.

Now the joint law enforcement brigade of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department is stationed in Fuchun, and it is right to go to the county seat if you want to file a complaint.

Zhou Tai waited for several days before it was finally his turn to make a move!

A few days ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs happened to spot check the civil affairs of Fuchun, and it happened to focus on the spot check of Xu's, and today ...... Several officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were suspected of being detained by the Xu family, and the chief secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in charge of this matter immediately asked for help from Zhou Tai, who also happened to be stationed nearby.

It is the duty of the armed forces to suppress the rebellious parties, and they can do their own thing.

So Zhou Tai immediately sent people to the nearest signal tower to deliver the message, and at the same time led his troops to rush into the Xu clan's land, surrounding the most core of the ancestral residence.

At this time, in the ancestral hall of the Xu family, there was a crowd of people outside, and many young clansmen were talking angrily, some people's anger was directed at the people outside, and some people's anger was directed at the people in the ancestral ancestral hall!

In the ancestral hall, at this time, there were also many elders of the Xu family, as well as Xu Gong, several important stewards and faces of the imperial court......

Since the arrival of the drought, some people in the Xu family have realized that something is not good, and when the deep well began to be opened, they were even more worried.

However, more people are worried about the large water needs of their livestock!

It is true that the crops in the field have not been harvested for a year, and it is a big deal to wait for relief and become a homeless, as long as they can survive, next year will be another ...... Good farmer! But the livestock were cut off from water...... It will be completely bankrupt in a few days, and it will not be able to turn the beef jerky into water next year.

Even the modern aquaculture industry is very risky, let alone the breeding in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, in this form, most of the core clansmen of the Xu clan actually think of "cows", I have to say...... Xu's weakness is also inevitable.

In recent years, the core of Xu's decision-making has begun to be too eager for quick success, gambling on the fortune of the clan at every turn, and Xu Gong's position as the Taishou has been quite sinister, in order to erase the influence of the former Taishou, the Xu family has attracted a lot of criticism, and then even supported Yan Baihu to divide this kind of thing, dare to rush to the front line!

Although in a short period of time, the accumulation of more than ten generations of the Xu family has rapidly expanded into interests and forces, but it is also a few seemingly successful "big bets" that make the core members of the Xu family more and more gambling.

Of course, the Xu family is not purely hitting a stone with an egg, after all, such a large family, all brainless villains, will not survive today......

After breaking with Bai Xiangtong, the Xu family's lineage headed by Xu Gong planned that while pretending to be brave and unscrupulous, Bai Tu felt that as long as he developed step by step, Xu's tumor would be eradicated sooner or later, and he secretly contacted Cao Cao, and when Xun Yu came to Jiangdong before, Xu Gong had private contact with him.

Contacting Cao Cao, instead of contacting Yuan Shu, is also considered that the Xu family is not stupid.

Xu Gong thought very beautifully, and his main strategy was to send a letter to Xu Du when he had nothing to do, advocating that Bai Tu was ambitious, and then asking Cao Cao for an official, and expressing his heart to the imperial court, which could be cited as an internal response......

If Xu Gong can be an official in the court, not only will he be safe, but Bai Tu will not be able to attack the Xu family.

However, the remarks of "deep well disease" that he had mixed up among the people before finally hurt him!

Xun You's trip to Jiangdong, after comprehensive consideration, determined that Bai Tu was "harmless", and Cao Cao naturally didn't want to deal with Xu's family, and he didn't want to easily offend the "harmless" Bai Tu.

Although Xu Gong still persistently sent a letter to Xu Du, and this time Baitu's deep well made him suddenly become the savior of Jiangdong, and the people's popularity was unmatched for a while, and the previous "deep well disease" spread also seemed to be "ill-intentioned", maybe Cao Cao would really be vigilant?

But...... Xu's no longer has a chance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs accurately spot-checked Xu's head, and the people's grievances were completely induced!

Since Zhou Tai led the troops and stationed nearby in the name of disaster relief, the Xu family has been in full swing.

The attitude of the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs made them understand that the matter was no longer enough to maneuver - if it was really true, the population and cultivated land that the Xu family was hiding now would be able to punish him for bankrupting his family, not to mention that there were other crimes that could not be "redeemed......

Finally, on the fourth day of the start of the Ministry's thorough investigation, dozens of unregistered hidden households were found in one of Xu's granges, and even ...... It was also found that there was a bow and crossbow hidden, and when the officials of the criminal department from the county also held official documents to interrogate several Xu clansmen suspected of various crimes, Xu Gong had no other choice but to violently resist the law.

Then Zhou Tai quickly raised his troops, and the Xu clan was in a mess......
