Chapter 213: We still have a hole card in our hands

An officer dressed in black walked out of the crowd and bent over.

"General Zhao is polite."

"We are under the order of His Majesty to supervise hundreds of officials, and now that such a situation has occurred in Yundong County, it is difficult to escape the blame."

"I came here this time to make up for my mistakes, and I hope the general will help me more."

Wang Ying's words were quite sincere, and his tone was extremely gentle.

After hearing this, Zao Wou-ki's face gradually smiled.

They both knew that this incident in Yundong County was a great achievement.

If the two cooperate effectively, it will naturally be a great achievement.

But if the two are secretly intrigued, once something goes wrong, their heads will fall to the ground.

Under such unspoken rules, the two are humble to each other and do not intend to embarrass each other.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Zao Wou-Ki saw that everyone was so polite, so he directly waved his hand and said loudly.

"Zheng Wen, you bring three thousand elite iron horsemen to assist these brothers."

"Don't be lazy."

A lieutenant general in armor suddenly responded, and directly stood up to accept the matter.

Seeing this, Wang Ying also greeted politely, and then directly began to investigate the corruption and bribery of officials at all levels.

With the collapse of the Chen family, the people of Yundong County went from disbelief at the beginning to the empty alleys of 10,000 people in the back, and they went out of their homes to celebrate.

On the streets of Yundong County, you can see the scene of people cheering and cheering everywhere.

Everyone has been oppressed and exploited by the Chen family for too long, and now that the Chen family has been destroyed, everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Wang is one of the most prominent ones, he is wearing red clothes, wearing a splendid red flower that only the groom will wear, wantonly venting his dissatisfaction.

Behind him is the person who beats the gong and drum only hired by the welcoming team, the big red horse, and the gong and drum are noisy.

Coupled with a sedan chair, it looks like a scene of going to greet relatives.

But the bridegroom was crying and laughing on horseback, throwing broken silver, and shouting, "Do you see, do you see?"

When the people in the streets saw this situation as if they were mad, they did not have disdain or ridicule in their hearts.

Only full of sympathy.

Zhao Wangben is a rich child of Yundong County, and his family has gradually gained momentum by relying on business, and he is also somewhat famous in the local area.

Because Zhao Wang is humble and kind to his neighbors, the Zhao family's reputation in Yundong County is also quite loud.

Zhao Wang himself also took the imperial examination in high school, but he should have a bright future.

But that all changed three months ago.

Zhao Wang's high school imperial examination returned to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart.

On the day of marriage, the bride was raped by the ninth son of the Chen family.

The bride was so humiliated that she hanged herself and died.

Zhao Wang also vomited three liters of blood because of this matter, and he sued the Chen family in court, wanting to seek justice.

Unexpectedly, the county guard of Yundong County not only did a perfunctory thing, but also put Zhao Wang in prison in the name of framing him.

The Zhao family exhausted their wealth before they fished Zhao Wang out of the cell.

But on the same day, he was broken by the son of the Chen family and became a waste.

Originally, Zhao Wang planned to accumulate strength and die with the nine sons of the Chen family.

However, when he heard that the Chen family had collapsed a few days ago, he was overjoyed, took out the last savings of the family, and made today's battle.

Not just to celebrate, but to vent the injustice in your heart.

The people on the street knew the reason, so no one ridiculed or despised them, and they all shouted and celebrated the demise of the Chen family.

The same is true in the county capitals.

The Chen family has been powerful in Yundong County for decades, and they have long formed a life-and-death enmity with these people on weekdays.

Now that the Chen family is gone, everyone is extremely happy and satisfied.

This celebration is not only for everyone to vent their dissatisfaction, but also for the officials who the Chen family has bribed to report one by one.

Because they live in the local area all the year round, everyone can see at a glance which officials are corrupt and take bribes.

With the help of the local people, the clean-up process of Yundong County officialdom was extremely smooth.

This speed even exceeded Zao Wou-Ki's expectations.

In just over ten days, officials at all levels have been thoroughly investigated, and even at the border, there is no such speed.

Looking at the list handed over by everyone, Zao Wou-Ki was extremely angry in his heart.

This includes almost eighty percent of the officials of Yundong County.

These are still lists sent by the people, and with a little investigation, the number of them must be even more terrifying.

This means that at least ninety percent of the officials in Yundong County have been eroded by the family.

This is only the land of Yundong County, and in those counties where the family is deeply rooted, this number will be even more terrifying.

More severe.

The family's erosion of local government has reached a terrifying point.

Zhao Wou-Ki made a summary of the actions of Yundong County in the past few days, and sent it to the capital by fast horse to personally report the specific situation of Yundong County to Su Mo.

When the news of the demise of the Chen family in Yundong County spread to the rest of the world, all the families panicked in fear.

The Chen family was one of the four great families of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was deeply rooted in all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty and had a large number of people.

Now the Chen family's old nest, Yundong County, has been completely swept away, and ninety percent of the officials have been killed.

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and it scared all the families and officials into worry.

Su Mo dared to do it to the Chen family, which meant that Su Mo also dared to do it to the rest of the family, and no one could escape.

As for those officials, they were even more frightened, this time Zao Wou-Ki killed more than 800 people in Yundong County.

The people of the entire Yundong County government have been completely replaced, and for everyone, this is undoubtedly an example to everyone.

The people who had taken bribes from the family were now terrified.

The money is still lying in his own home, and it is too late to escape.

As the local families are sincerely afraid, the remaining three families plan to discuss and deal with this catastrophe together.

Everyone can now see that Su Mo is already going to do something to the family.

They didn't know whether the Chen family was beating or a sign of a declaration of war.

Therefore, the three great families plan to join forces to deal with this matter.

In the capital, on the top floor of the Nine Peerless Building, there were three people with rich temperament sitting in the Tianzi private room, and the head of the Wang family was the first to get up and speak.

"Everyone, you've all heard about what happened to the Chen family."

"100,000 elite cavalry went straight to Yundong County, this was premeditated."

"I don't think the three of us can escape."

The face of the head of the Zhao family on the side turned cold, their Zhao family's nest was eight hundred miles away from the capital, even if they wanted to, they couldn't escape.

Once Su Mo really moved his murderous intentions, the Zhao family would definitely die, and now the demise of the Chen family has sounded the alarm for everyone, they are the next Chen family.

The head of the Liu family had a gloomy face, took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of him, and said coldly.

"Afraid of what?"

"I don't believe that Su Mo really dares to do something to my four great families."

"Destroying the Chen family is just trying to force us to negotiate peace with him."

The Liu family was at the junction of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Liyang Dynasty, and had previously started through smuggling, but later because the relationship between the Liyang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting worse and worse.

Through the accumulation of years of accumulation, in the Great Zhou Dynasty relied on the sale of illicit salt, because of the fierce folk customs, the Liu family's personality is extremely arrogant.

Seeing his arrogant expression, the head of the Wang family poured cold water on his face.

"Don't dare?"

"Now that the four dynasties have been destroyed, he holds military power and can do whatever he wants."

"What, do you think the 30,000 people of our four major families can turn the sky upside down?"

The head of the Liu family was also blocked by these words, and now is not the era when the four major dynasties were established before.

Even if their family wants to maneuver around, there is no one to choose from, which is what the people of the family are most worried about.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, the head of the Zhao family got up with a smile and said.

"Don't argue between the two, it's not that serious now."

"If we fight among ourselves first, then we will fall for Su Mo's tricks."

The other two also eased up when they saw this, and everyone came this time to solve the problem, not to compete with each other, and it didn't hurt to tolerate it.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, the head of the Zhao family continued.

"Now we still have a hole card in our hand."

"Don't forget the food we have."

"If it is decided today, there will be a shortage of food and clothing in various places, as long as we hand over these grains, we will definitely be able to save the lives of our family."

After saying this, the head of the Zhao family shook the feather fan lightly, as if this was some great strategy.

The two family heads on the side also nodded one after another, quite agreeing with the words of the Zhao family master.

The food in the hands of the family is their last dependence.

If today's dynasty had been without this food, millions would have starved to death at least.
