After the news of this swearing-in meeting spread, the fear in the hearts of Jiangnan officials and gentry reached its peak! However, this oath meeting also achieved another purpose of Liu Haojia, that is, to deliver a message, this time he was not indiscriminately hunting and killing in Jiangnan, but against those who participated in replacing human traffickers with white ducks!

This news made the terrified Jiangnan officialdom completely relieved, and it also greatly reduced the pressure that Liu Haojia was about to face! As he guessed, the officialdom in Jiangnan is not monolithic. Sometimes since you can die a Taoist, it's naturally better not to die in poverty! So once Liu Haojia showed that he would not expand the arrest, many people who were ready to wrestle with him withdrew their hands and remained in a wait-and-see state.

Silk Town is a medium-sized town, and the reason for this name is because there is a small river that runs around the town! Therefore, this town has abundant water power, and the grain production has always been extremely high, so there is rarely a risk of freezing and frustration. This is what makes this town and the surrounding villagers extremely proud!

And another thing that makes them feel proud is that there is a big family in Xiushui Town, the Fan family! This family has been a family heirloom for generations, especially the contemporary old family owner who has been a high-ranking official in the Fujian prefect! And the descendants of the Fan family are also angry, there are seventeen or eighteen officials in the whole family, and the eldest grandson of the eldest is called a prodigy when he was young, and it is very likely to surpass the achievements of the Fan family!

But if only being a high-ranking official will not make the people feel proud, what makes them happy is that the Fan family has always adhered to the traditional Chinese virtues, that is, being kind to others and taking care of their neighbors!

The Fan family encountered a rent reduction and interest reduction in a famine year, and usually gave up porridge and medicine, and built bridges and paved roads! He also opened a private school and enrolled students at a very low price. Although most of the students have no future and can only do a job like a bookkeeper, there are really a few talents! The three highest people have already won the lift, and there are more than a dozen talents!

Therefore, the Fan family has a great reputation in Xiushui Town and its surrounding villages! If there is anything that the villagers can't disconnect, they are willing to find the Fan family to break it off. And as long as the Fan family makes a decision, the villagers can be said to be unconvinced!

Usually, the Fan family guards the door and studies at home seriously. But whenever anyone came out to walk, the villagers hurried to greet and make way. Give great respect!

But during this period of time, the villagers have found one thing, as if something big is going to happen in the Fan family, and the people walking inside and outside are full of anxiety! But the villagers also knew that they couldn't help much, so they could only sigh secretly, and then chant a few words to the heavens to bless the Fan family!

But on this day, the peaceful life of Xiushui Town was suddenly broken! Under the leadership of a team of Jinyi guards, a group of soldiers armed with firearms rushed directly into the town and surrounded the Fan family!

You must know that the villagers of the Fan family have always paid attention to every move, and today is also the day of the market in the town, not only the people in the town have come out to see the freshness, but even the villagers in the surrounding villages have come to the town to set up a stall and sell some of their own products!

Another point, that is, half of the people in the town and the surrounding villagers are tenants of the Fan family, and when they saw that the main house was surrounded, they naturally wanted to find out what was going on? So I only heard someone shouting: "A group of people went to Fan's house, it seems that something is going to happen!" ”

The shout instantly spread through the town! And the power of rumors is boundless, and by the time the soldiers surrounded the Fan family, the shout had become: "A group of people rushed into the town to make trouble for the Fan family!" ”

Those who heard the news reacted immediately! The young men picked up the firewood knives, flat poles, and wooden sticks! The old man was holding a cane, and the children were grabbing a stone! Even some women rushed out the door with scissors! was even more bold to knock on the copper basin, and shouted: "Someone went to Fan's house to find bad luck, everyone go and help!" ”

As a result, almost all the people in the entire town rushed towards the Fan family, and surrounded the Jinyi guards and soldiers who surrounded the Fan family!

But when the villagers gathered in front of the gate of the Fan family, they found that something was not quite right! Li Zheng and a few people were nodding and talking to an official in beautiful clothes, and he looked very flattering!

Seeing a large number of villagers rushing over with guys in their hands, the official who was still arrogant also changed his face! The officer exclaimed, "What's going on? Is it that the Fan family wants to be arrested? ”

Li Zheng saw that the people who were surging noisily were also distressed in his heart! However, he still made a judgment quickly, and he said loudly: "Lord Baihu, there is absolutely no one to make trouble!" It's because the reputation of the Fan family is too good, but the official you came suddenly, and the villagers didn't know that it was an official errand, and they thought it was that, so they came to help! The little ones go and stop them right away! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zheng pulled a few people around him to assign them to go around, trying to stop the crowd. Even he himself ran quickly. Seeing the crowd surging in the distance, the hundred households gritted their teeth and turned to an officer in military uniform behind him and said loudly: "Transfer the command!" ”

The reason why this hundred households said this sentence is because the whole team is actually composed of two parts. One part is the Jinyi Guard, and the other part is the New Army.

Liu Haojia defined them very clearly, that is, the raids, interrogations, arrests and other matters are all responsible for Jinyiwei, and the new army is only responsible for maintaining order, and nothing else is involved.

Because Liu Haojia knows that participating in things such as arresting people and raiding their homes will inevitably involve issues such as enriching their own pockets. And such problems are to be avoided by the Forces nouvelles. If the New Army is allowed to fall into such a situation, it will be a matter of time before military discipline deteriorates! So there are some things that resolutely do not let the new army get their hands dirty! After the current situation arises, the command must be transferred to the new army!

Immediately after receiving the order, the officer shouted: "Confirm the transfer of command!" ”

Then he turned around and shouted, "Attention, everyone! The Jinyi guards gathered in front of the main gate to prevent the Fan family from a surprise attack from the mansion! All soldiers step forward and put on bayonets! The herald informs the squad at the side and back doors to maintain a defensive formation and not to shoot without an order! ”

After the herald quickly ran away, the New Army soldiers stepped forward, wrapped the brocade guard behind the group, and then felt the bayonet on his waist and stuck it in the mouth! In the blink of an eye, these soldiers formed a jungle of bayonets, shining bayonets telling anyone who wanted to get close that we were in danger!
