With Zhang Yan's order, the Danyang soldiers rushed directly into Zhenrong's mansion and began to arrest them on a large scale, and the entire Zhenfu suddenly fell into chaos, chickens and dogs jumping.

Half an hour later, all 356 mouths up and down the mansion were caught, and none of them were missed.

Zhang Yanduan sat in the courtyard of the Zheng Mansion, glanced at the group of people who were tied up by the five flowers, and said expressionlessly: "Whoever can point out the people who are related to Zhenrong, I will let them go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper of the Di Mansion immediately pointed out all the wives, daughters, children and nephews of Zhen Rong, and even the personal maid.

Zhang Yan asked Zhou Kui for truth one by one, and after Zhou Kui took a closer look, he nodded repeatedly.

So, Zhang Yan asked the housekeeper to loosen the ties, and the housekeeper shamelessly ran to Zhang Yan, bowed his head and said: "Thank you for the grace of the adults not to kill, the little ones are toothless and unforgettable." Adults are wise and martial, if they don't dislike it, the little ones are willing to be cattle and horses for adults, and they will never deviate from this life in this life! ”

Zhang Yan sneered, didn't even look at the face of this housekeeper, and said: "Your old master just left, you betrayed him, if you follow me, is it hard to guarantee that one day you won't treat me like this?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed quickly in front of the butler, and one of the butler's heads rolled to the ground.

In an instant, a good living person turned into a dead corpse, and blood continued to gush out of the cavity, staining a large area at Zhang Yan's feet.

When the people in the Zhenrong Mansion saw this, they all had a chill on their faces, and in their opinion, Zhang Yan was extremely terrifying.

Zhang Yan slowly stood up and said loudly: "Your master has just died, and your housekeeper betrayed him, such a person, staying in the world will only harm people, it is better to kill a hundred." However, you can rest assured that I will not embarrass anyone who has nothing to do with Zhenrong. ”

Subsequently, Zhang Yan asked people to release all the family members and maidservants in the Dirong Mansion, leaving only those who were related to the Dirong Mansion, and asked about the wages of those family members and maidservants in the Dirong Mansion, and then asked each of them to give them three months' wages and send them away.

These housekeepers and maidservants were very moved when they received their wages, and they were even more grateful to Zhang Yan. They have worked in the house for many years, except for food and accommodation, they rarely get paid, these people dare not speak out, and the control of Zhenrong is very strict, they are like slaves in the house.

More than 300 family members and maidservants have left the mansion, leaving only a dozen members of the family, many of whom have a baby a few months old.

These people knelt there, trembling, and they didn't dare to look at Zhang Yan directly, and their hearts were even more up, and they didn't know what Zhang Yan was going to do with them.

"All of them will be executed on the spot, and not one will be left!" Zhang Yan didn't even look at it, so he ordered sharply.

The Danyang soldiers made a "whoosh", instantly drew their blades, and beheaded all of Zhenrong's family, not even sparing a baby.

Zhou Kui, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, was also frightened when he saw it, Zhang Yan's ruthlessness was considered to be insightful.

In the courtyard of the mansion, there were scattered large and small heads, and blood flowed everywhere, gradually watering this piece of land crimson.

At this time, several teams of people who were ordered to arrest Zhenrong's henchmen rushed over one after another, detained some people, and pushed them into Zhenrong's mansion.

When these people saw the tragic death of the Zhenrong family in the courtyard, they could basically predict their fate, some were so frightened that they peed their pants, and some became fearless and scolded Zhang Yan, even Zhou Kui was not spared.

Zhang Yan's face was pale, a strange smile appeared on his cold face, and with an order, these henchmen who were powerful and blessed in Xiapi on weekdays were all beheaded one by one to show the public.

At noon, Zhang Yan basically killed all of Zhen Rong's henchmen, but Zhen Rong's mansion became an execution ground, and blood flowed everywhere.

Zhang Yan copied and beheaded the whole door, not even a baby was left, and he did very well to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. But there was no trace of joy on his face, but a trace of sorrow.

Zhen Rong died, but his death also brought Zhang Yan some unnecessary troubles.

First of all, what should be done with the property, fertile land, and houses owned by Zhenrong?

Secondly, Zhen Rong and his henchmen were all killed, most of these people were the leaders of various departments in the army, once this group of people died, the army was leaderless, how to restrain the army of Xiapi?

Zuihou, once he occupies Xiapi, who should be stationed there?

These are the three main problems that plague Zhang Yan at present, and he has not come up with a solution for the time being.

At this time, Xu Sheng rushed back from outside the city, came to the Zhenrong Mansion, saw the dead corpses all over the ground, and said to Zhang Yan with an unchanged face: "Qiyu master, the little one is fortunate not to be dishonored, and has successfully persuaded all the more than 300 dead soldiers in the Futu Temple to surrender, and they also said that they are willing to follow the master like me, and never deviate." ”

"Well, you're doing a great job. You persuaded these people to surrender, so let you be their leader, and then they will be under your direct command. As for the poison on their bodies, I will find a way to get rid of it all for you as soon as possible. ”

"The master is as kind to me as a mountain, and the little one doesn't know how to repay him......" Xu Sheng was moved, and his speech was a little choked.

Zhang Yan first looked at Xu Sheng, then at Zhou Kui, and suddenly found that there were too few talents available to him.

He thought carefully: "Xu Sheng is young and vigorous, easy to be high-spirited, it's okay to lead soldiers, if you want to be independent, you still need to hone yourself." Zhou Kui is too tactful, too accidental, and he has just served me, and his heart is unknown, and he can't be trusted. If I want to occupy this Picheng, I must leave people here to garrison it, is it possible, do I want to stay here myself? ”

Just when he was at a loss, a Danyang soldier suddenly ran to him, handed a letter to him, and said bluntly: "Lord, this is an urgent letter sent by a scout sent by Lord Chen, please take a look at it!" ”

Zhang Yan opened the letter, read it in a hurry, the gloom on his face suddenly disappeared, and in just a moment, he hahadaxiao: "This letter from Yuanlong came so timely, it can really be described as a charcoal in the snow!" ”

He closed the letter, no longer had to worry about talents, and immediately ordered Danyang soldiers to start raiding the house and counting the belongings in the house. He asked Zhou Kui to count the grain, ordnance, horses, and the number of existing soldiers in the Pifu treasury, and asked Xu Sheng to lead people to pull the corpses outside the city to bury, and search the entire Futu Temple to see if Zhenrong hid treasures in the Futu Temple.

As for himself, he sat in the Taishou Mansion in Xiapi City, and dispatched more than a dozen Danyang soldiers, who were divided into two routes, respectively with his famous thorns and some gifts, all the way to Huaipu County in Xiapi, and the other way to Dongyang County in Guangling County, to pick up two people to Xiapi.

Chen Deng knew that there was no one available under Zhang Yan's account, and considering that he needed someone to garrison and govern after killing Zhenrong and occupying Xiapi, he took precautions and hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Yan and asked the scout to take it to Zhang Yan.

This is a letter of recommendation, in which Chen Deng recommended a total of three people, one is his younger brother Chen Ying, the other is Chen Jiao, a native of Dongyang, Guangling, and the other is Chen Qun, a famous scholar in Yuzhou.

Chen Deng pointed out in the letter that Chen should be in his hometown of Huaipu and Chen Jiao should be in Dongyang, and these two people only need to send someone to invite them, and they will come. Only the celebrity Chen Qun needed Zhang Yan to invite him personally, and in order to avoid the turmoil in the Central Plains, Chen Qun moved his family to Xuzhou, which happened to be in Xiapi City.

After Zhang Yan sent two teams of people, he immediately began to prepare some gifts, and then sent people to inquire about Chen Qun's residence in the city.

After an hour-long inquiry, the people who were sent out finally learned of Chen Qun's residence, and immediately returned to the Taishou Mansion to inform Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan immediately asked people to lead the way, he rode a dark cloud snow horse, carried a carriage of gifts, and happily walked to Chen Qun's residence.

Chen Qun lives in the southeast of Xiapi City, where the people in the city live more concentrated, plus there are markets, horse markets, gold markets, wine shops, tea shops, brothels, and a small wharf, so this area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the public security is relatively chaotic, lively during the day and noisy at night.

Xiapi City is not small, but because Zhenrong forcibly occupied a lot of land to build his mansion, the markets, horse markets, wine shops, tea shops, and brothels that were supposed to be in the north of the city were all moved to the vicinity of the docks, which also made the already small place even more crowded.

Zhang Yan wore a helmet and armor, and the people he brought were all wearing uniform uniforms, and once he appeared, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the vicinity all gave way, and Zhang Yan was able to pass through here with the carriage. Otherwise, you will have to dismount and walk forward, and you will have to wait until the second half of the night to pass through here.

Soon, the group walked through the most prosperous neighborhood and entered the residential area.

But as soon as I arrived in the residential area, the problem came, the road in the alley was too narrow, and the carriage could not enter at all.

In desperation, Zhang Yan had no choice but to let the carriage stop outside and let people carry boxes of gifts to follow him to Chen Qun's house.

After some walking, Zhang Yan and the others finally came to Chen Qun's house. He straightened his shirt before he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, and through the crack in the door, Zhang Yan clearly saw a man with clear eyebrows and a long robe walking over.

The man was seven feet long, with a ruddy complexion, a fair complexion, and a beard under his chin that had apparently been carefully repaired and divided into strands, fluttering and stinging like a goat.

This person walked to the door, and through the crack in the door, he saw Zhang Yan and others standing outside, and did not open the door immediately, but asked first: "May I ask a few military masters, do you have any business?" ”
