"How's it going? Where is your second master?"
In Zoujiazhuang, Mr. Zou saw a servant coming back and quickly asked about Zou Qingrong's whereabouts.
"Back to Grandpa, Second Master was left to have a drink by Uncle Zhenwu. I was afraid that Grandpa would be worried, so I asked the younger one to come over and report back to Grandpa. Don't worry too much!"
Seeing this, Mr. Zou finally calmed down half of his worries. The remaining half, he was afraid that he would have to wait until Jia Hui's army left before he could sit back and relax.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen. After Zou Qingrong begged several times, Jia Hui was finally ready to let him go.
Hearing this, Zou Qingrong felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly saluted Jia Hui to express his gratitude.
But after seeing the two sergeants walking towards him with ferocious smiles, Zou Qingrong's expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at Jia Hui.
"Master Zou is here to work for the army, how can we not let Master Zou drink to his heart's content before leaving?"
Seeing Zou Qingrong looking at him, Jia Hui smiled lightly, and then ordered the sergeant to pour wine directly into Zou Qingrong until he was motionless, then stopped.
"Uncle Zhenwu, all the servants from Zoujiazhuang have been recruited. I have left a few people willing to lead the way. It's time for us to set off!"
At this time, Chen Feng also walked into the big tent. Looking at Zou Qingrong who was unconscious, he quickly informed Jia Hui of the situation of Zoujiazhuang's servants.
"In that case, it's time to go!"
Jia Hui immediately ordered a few people to carry Zou Qingrong, who was drunk to death, and then followed the Zoujiazhuang servants with his soldiers and horses towards Zoujiazhuang.
Along the way, Jia Hui saw at least five waves of hidden clues from Zoujiazhuang. If those servants hadn't led the way, they would have been discovered by Zoujiazhuang's hidden clues.
Soon, everyone arrived at the gate of the Zoujiazhuang Village and saw that their young master had returned. Everyone in the village did not doubt his presence and began to open the gate of the village to let everyone in.
"Who are you?"
As soon as he entered Zoujiazhuang, Zhao Ming was spotted walking among the servants. Seeing this, Zhao Ming didn't say anything more and directly drew his sword and killed all the people at the door!
"Come in and kill!"
Seeing that the village gate had been captured, Jia Hui, who was following behind, immediately led the Ranger battalion to start running wildly, but in an instant they had already entered the Zou family village and were heading straight towards the Zou family's old house.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the officers and soldiers suddenly came in!"
The report made Mr. Zou, who was gradually relieved, feel excited again.
"Quickly, gather the troops to stop them!"
"Brother Yue, go and tell General Liu to hide in the cave!"
Mr. Zou called his grandsons to give some instructions, and then led a few servants to a house in the backyard!
"Quickly, burn this house down!"
"ah!"
As soon as Mr. Zou finished his instructions, he heard several screams behind him. He turned around and saw that three of the four servants who had followed him had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Only Liu Shun'er was left, holding a bloody dagger and looking at him coldly.
"Liu Shun'er, I treat you well, Master. How dare you...?"
"Master, a certain embroidered guard is spying on Yue Ming. Now that the situation is over, the old master should just accept his fate!"
Zou Jiaxun was shocked when he heard what Yue Ming said. He was his confidant and knew a lot of things at home.
Thinking of this, Zou Jiaxun took out a dagger from nowhere and wanted to kill Yue Ming, but Yue Ming turned around to avoid it and then captured him.
At the same time, Jia Hui also led his troops to the Zou family's old residence. After breaking through the gate, he began to rush into the house.
"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Following Jia Hui's order, the soldiers of the Xianwu Camp were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, killing all the servants of the Zou Mansion who came to resist.
It wasn't until everyone was chilled by being killed by the Xianwu camp and put down their weapons that the killing stopped.
"Master Governor, this man captured the old man of the Zou family and said he was a spy from the Xiuyi Guard!"
Soon, the soldiers discovered Yue Ming hiding in the backyard. After Yue Ming revealed his identity, the soldiers brought him to Jia Hui.
"The spies in embroidered clothes and armors pay their respects to my uncle!"
"There are three thousand armored soldiers in Zoujiazhuang. They are hiding in the secret passage of Dongzhuang. The secret passage connects to the outside of the village. Uncle, please go search quickly, lest they escape!"
After hearing Yue Ming's message, Jia Hui did not hesitate. After leaving the soldiers guarding the Zou family, Jia Hui divided the craftsmen into two teams. One team was led by Yue Ming to the tunnel, and the other team went outside the city to search for the secret passage exit.
Outside the Zou family's old house, the entire Zou family village was now occupied by Jia Hui's troops. Seeing that they could not resist, the Zou family members also chose to surrender.
After Jia Hui captured Zoujiazhuang, Chen Feng also brought Xiuyiwei to the village, rushed into the Zou family's old house and began to search for evidence of the Zou family's rebellion.
On Jia Hui's side, after leading his troops into the tunnel, he soon discovered traces of someone walking by.
Jia Hui led his men in quick pursuit and finally walked out of the tunnel near Fangshan.
"Uncle, this way!"
Seeing the traces of trampled personnel, Jia Hui immediately ordered to continue the pursuit, and finally saw the running rebels under Fangshan.
As soon as the signal was given, the Ranger Battalion quickly rushed towards the rebels who were running with all their strength.
"General, you can't run away!"
Seeing that the Ranger Battalion was getting closer and closer, the deputy commander of that troop also began to persuade the commander to prepare for the Ranger Battalion's attack.
It's just that their already exhausted soldiers were able to make the opponents of the Ranger Battalion directly penetrated by the Ranger Battalion back and forth.
"Who's in front of you? Come down quickly!"
By the time Jia Hui and his men arrived, less than half of the rebels were left, and the rest were either dead or had fled.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had surrounded them, the leader took one look at Jia Hui and immediately swung his knife to kill himself.
Seeing that the general was dead and no longer willing to fight, the rest of the people knelt down and asked for surrender.
Leading the troops back to Zoujiazhuang again, Chen Feng looked excited, and it seemed that he had gained a lot.
"How about Chen's instructions? Did you gain anything?"
Chen Feng was also very happy to see Jia Hui back and said excitedly to him:
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhenwu. I have mastered the letters between the Zou family and the merchants, and nearly half of the merchants are involved. There are also many bullies in Liangxiang County who are all related to the Zou family. Why do you make decisions for the people? It’s just a rescue!”
After a search by Xiuyiwei, it was found that although the Zou family was not full of evil, it was not a good family either.
He often cooperates with the mechanical bullies in Liangxiang County, using the name of peacemaker to let the people lose money and eliminate disasters.
Moreover, he was always willing to ask for favors in exchange for favors, so that the merchants who participated in his private military training could be gathered together.
For those merchants who did not want to repay the Zou family with profits, they would directly join forces to force them in the name of being displeased.
This is the reason why so many merchants have been repaying the Zou family for their help.
Jia was also wondering why those profit-seeking businessmen had become good people who repaid their kindness. It turned out that this was the reason!
Throughout the night, Jia Hui led his troops to station in the Zou family village, assisting the embroidered guard to start interrogating the Zou family, and sorting out the Zou family's criminal evidence and documents.
Until daybreak, the Xiuyi Guards had identified officials who had colluded with the Zou family and began to attack and request orders. Jia Hui also led his troops to set off again, this time with his eyes on the Xishan Camp.
