ps: Thank you for the eagle week tip, thank you for the encouragement of the monthly pass to eat rabbits and drop radish.

A case like Zong Weiwu, involving the promotion of the catastrophe of the end times, pretending to be an immortal saint, and distorting the meaning of the Taoist scriptures, is already an absolutely major case, and because it has the nature of "gathering crowds", the way to handle the case is directly defined as "clearing and suppressing". There are nearly 200 people in the team who went to the cleanup, in addition to hundreds of young men who came from the expedition, the main force is the third class of officials.

In addition, the ten Daomen Fangtang inspectors brought down the mountain by Zhao Ran are the role of pressing the formation, if there is an accident, such as what outlaws are raised in Zongjiazhuang and ruthless characters in the rivers and lakes, they will have to rely on the Daomen patrol to appear.

Although the main force was convened by the county government, after all, it involved the Daomen, and it was Zhao Ran who really had the final say. Zhao Ran rode on top of the old donkey, looking at nearly 200 people clustered around him, he still felt a little touched, this feeling is really wonderful! The only regret is that the appearance of the old donkey under the crotch is really a bit of a drop, and after passing through the Changworm Mountain and his party, Zhao Ran is also a little dissatisfied with the old donkey's appearance, but he is dissatisfied, and he really wants to run for his life, and he really can't find any mount that can outrun this livestock.

Zongjiazhuang is not very far, the county seat goes northeast along the official road, walks for half a day, and then turns down on the Lushan ramp, and then changes to half an hour. On the way, Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something, so he asked County Lieutenant Jin, he was so swaggering on his side, would Zong Weiwu be scared away after getting the news?

Jin County Lieutenant smiled and said that under normal circumstances, such large families with wealth and property would not run away in a hurry, because it is difficult for them to give up their family business, and they usually gather people to resist stubbornly, and then find a way to entrust people to turn around. Zhao Ran asked. Will this sect Weiwu do the same? Does he have any background to rely on? Jin County Lieutenant said that no matter whether he has a background or not, he will take the person first, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to worry too much.

Zhao Ran still felt unstable, and asked again. What if Zong Weiwu really escaped? County Lieutenant Jin smiled happily and said that if he really escaped, it would be easier to do it, first of all, his house would not be able to escape, and second, we would search wherever he fled, and in short, we would catch him. Zhao Ran saw that County Lieutenant Jin was smiling very strangely, and pondered for a moment. Suddenly realized - if Zong Weiwu escaped, then the nearby big families would probably suffer.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already dusk when I arrived at Zongjiazhuang. Zhao Ran raised his eyes and looked, the gate of the huge manor was closed, and there were more than a dozen martial artist-looking people standing on the wall, which seemed to be guarding the village.

County Lieutenant Jin's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said to Zhao Ran: "Lord Zhao, it seems that the Zong clan is planning to resist. Oops, that's a ......."

The latter words were not said. But Zhao Ran looked at his happy appearance, and didn't ask what he wanted to express. Because he said, "Let's go up and shout." ”

Zhao Ran was fully responsible for this clean-up, so County Lieutenant Jin nodded and said, "This is the right thing to do." He turned around and beckoned a catcher, and asked the catcher to come forward and persuade him to surrender.

The catcher walked to the front of the village and shouted, "Where is Zong Weiwu?" Let Zong Weiwu come out and answer!"

A bald man on the wall replied: "The owner of the sect has something to go out and is not in the village, who else dares to surround my sect village, it is not a bandit!"

The headcatcher smiled. All of them were dressed in public uniforms, and at a glance they were the servants of the yamen, and this bald man was slandered as a bandit, thinking that he was going to resist by force. So he said: "You thief really don't know whether to live or die, I don't bother to talk to you, hurry up and let Zong Weiwu come out, his incident happened, the Taoist Institute and the county government jointly issued a document to take him back for questioning." Did you see it, Lord Zhao Fang of the Fangtang of Wuji Courtyard and the county lieutenant of my yamen personally led the troops to ......"

The bald man interrupted: "I don't understand what you said, the sect master is not here, what is there to wait for him to come back!"

The head catcher said: "Hugh has to delay! Hurry up and open the door of the village, and obediently be bound, otherwise you will enter and the jade will be burned!"

The bald man suddenly raised his bow and shot it, and a feathered arrow came and nailed it to the feet of the catcher, startled the catcher, and jumped backwards.

The bald man shouted: "What kind of bird do you want, if you talk nonsense, the next arrow will kill the dog, get out of here!"

The head catcher sneered a few times and retreated. County Lieutenant Jin pointed to the bald martial artist who was shooting arrows on the wall, and sighed to Zhao Ran: "Lord Zhao Fang, with this arrow, this case has gone deeper, and I don't know why, this sect has already been obsessed with ghosts and tricks." ”

The people are not allowed to use and store bows and arrows, this is a decree expressly forbidden by the imperial court, only this arrow is shot, and Zong Weiwu's case has added a "private possession of bows and crossbows, intent to rebel", which no one can save.

Zhao Ran ordered: "Attack the village!"

So, according to the plan that had been agreed upon, the young men took out the wooden signs from the cart and escorted more than a dozen archers forward, and these archers bent their bows and arrows and shot at the wall. The dozen or so martial artists on the wall also have three or four step bows, and their accuracy is not bad, but they can't stand the large number of archers sent by the county government, and they are completely suppressed after two rounds, and they can no longer show their heads on the wall.

Several servants took out a few cans of oil, smashed them on the door of the village, and then set fire to the door, and the fire immediately ignited, and a panicked cry was heard in the village.

The fire burned for half an hour, and it wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Zhao Ran heard the explosion of "poof", which was the latch behind the gate that was burned. The lieutenant of Jin County ordered to light the torch, and then with a wave of his hand, an errand came forward and stabbed him with a whistle stick, and the village gate had already been burned, and after a few stabs, it collapsed, and someone carried water and poured it on it to extinguish the fire.

Someone in the village shot a few arrows from the doorway, but they were all blocked by Qingzhuang with a wooden sign, and then opened the way inside with a wooden sign. The officials rushed in with their swords, and then followed by dozens of young men, and the Zhuangzi was broken, and the shouts of killing, screaming, and crying in the village shook the sky. From time to time, you can still hear shouts such as "The catastrophe is coming, sacrifice your life for righteousness", "Lu Xian is coming, save my world" and so on.

From time to time, someone in Zhuangzi came out to report the situation of the battle between Zhao Ran and Jin County Lieutenant, and occasionally reported that he had encountered a hard idea inside, so Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to bring a few patrols to reinforce it.

The final battle was fought in a small garden in Houzhuang, and Zong Weiwu brought a few martial artists with good kung fu to make the last crazy resistance, and Guan Er and the others couldn't take it for a while. Jin County Lieutenant was very experienced, and immediately asked people to withdraw, mobilized archers to surround Zong Weiwu and a few recalcitrant martial artists, and several rounds of bows and arrows were about to shoot over, shooting Zong Weiwu and others like a hedgehog, and they were killed on the spot. That Zong Weiwu was still shouting before he died: "I am a disciple of Lu Xianzuo, and the sword is invulnerable......" He died of anger halfway through the shout, which made Zhao Ran, who was watching the battle behind, sigh.

At this point, Zongjiazhuang was completely captured, except for the female dependents in the village, the rest of the men were all killed on the spot.

The contrast between the strength and weakness of the two sides is quite obvious, one side is the well-trained, extremely experienced and well-equipped Taoist inspectors and government officials, and the other side is the fanatical but little combat power of the Zhuang Ding servants, even if there are a few martial artists in the courtyard, they are far from being the opponents of the Taoist inspectors. After more than an hour of fighting, more than a dozen people were injured on the side of the Taoist Academy and the county government.

That night, Jin County Lieutenant commanded everyone to raid Zongjiazhuang, and when it was dawn, the number was finally counted. The biggest gain was taken out of the back garden where Zong Weiwu was guarding, it was a one-foot-tall statue of Lu Xian, the body was made of pure gold, and the weight was not less than a thousand taels. In addition, more than 300 taels of gold ingots, 1,200 taels of silver ingots, and 800 taels of money were also collected. In the storehouse, there were things piled up in the silk and satin, grain, and medicinal materials, all of which had been listed on the list, and the estimated total price was around 1,000 taels of silver.

County Lieutenant Jin pulled Zhao Ran into a side room, took out a stack of silver tickets and said: "Lord Zhao Fang, this is a 10,000 taels of silver tickets that were searched separately, and the thieves of Shicai Zongzhuang set fire to the account room, and the account books were destroyed, you see......"

Zhao Ran understood what County Lieutenant Jin meant, he didn't have any psychological burden on copying dirty silver, but he hadn't done this kind of thing before, and he didn't know how to divide it, so he smiled and said, "According to the old rules." ”

County Lieutenant Jin nodded, added five taels to two, and divided five thousand taels with Zhao Ran.

Zhao Ran hesitated a little: "What about these hard-working errands and young people? There are also patrol ...... brought by the poor road."

Jin County Lieutenant said: "They have taken everything they should have taken before, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"That'...... What about the Taoist Yuan and the county government, and the Song Supervision Yuan and the Confucian County respected them......"

"Lord Zhao Fang, rest assured, there are already a lot of gold and silver property we handed over, and there will be some deletions when we report it, and the ones that are deleted from the booklet are theirs. Jin Mou can take care of these things, and there is no need for Fang to work hard. ”

Well, Zhao Ran really didn't have the energy to care so much, he didn't do anything today, he just watched a good show and got 5,000 taels in a daze, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - sure enough, raiding his family and destroying his family is a shortcut to making a fortune!
