The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 041
Following Zhang Yan's order, the Danyang soldiers directly rushed into Ruo Rong's mansion and began to arrest him wantonly. The whole Ruo Mansion suddenly fell into chaos.

Half an hour later, all six members of the 350 people in Ruo's mansion were arrested, and none of them were leaked.

Zhang Yanduan sat in the courtyard of Ruo Mansion, glanced at the group of people who were tied up, and said expressionlessly: "Whoever can point out the person who has a blood relationship with Ruo Rong, I will let him go!"

As soon as the words were finished, the housekeeper of Ruo Rong's house immediately pointed out all of Ruo Rong's wives, daughters, nephews, and even the maid who was close to her.

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

So, Zhang Yan asked someone to untie Ruo Rong's butler, and the butler shamelessly ran to Zhang Yan, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I will never forget this little one. My lord is wise and powerful. If you don't dislike me, my little one I am willing to be an ox and a horse for the adults, and I will never depart from it in this life!"

Zhang Yan sneered, without looking at the butler's face, he said, "Your old master just left, and you betrayed him. If you follow me, there is no 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 a blink of an eye, a healthy and big living person turned into a dead body, and blood gushed out from the cavity continuously, staining a large area around Zhang Yan's feet red.

Seeing this, the people in Ruo Rong's mansion all looked chilly. In their view, Zhang Yan was extremely terrifying.

Zhang Yan stood up slowly, and said in a loud voice: "Your master just died, and your housekeeper betrayed him. Such a person will only harm people if he stays in this world. It is better to kill them all. However, you can rest assured , anyone who has nothing to do with Ruo Rong, I will never embarrass you."

Later, Zhang Yan asked people to release all servants and maidservants in Ruo Rong's mansion, leaving only those who were related to Ruo Rong, and asked about the wages of those servants and maidservants in Ruo Rong's mansion, and then asked them to pay each of them Three months' wages, send them away.

These servants and maidservants were very moved when they received their wages, and they were even more grateful to Zhang Yan.They have worked in the mansion for many years, except for food and lodging, they rarely get paid. These people dare not speak out, and Ruo Rong's control is very strict, they are like slaves in the mansion.

More than 300 servants and maidservants left Ruo Mansion one after another, leaving only a dozen of Ruo Rong's family members, including a baby who was a few months old.

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

"Execute all of them on the spot, leaving no one behind!" Zhang Yan ordered sternly without even looking at them.

The Danyang soldiers let out a "here", drew their weapons in an instant, and beheaded all of Ruo Rong's family members, not even a single baby was spared.

Zhou Kui, who stood aside and didn't say a word, was terrified when he saw him. He had seen Zhang Yan's cruelty.

In the courtyard of Ruo Mansion, there were scattered human heads, big and small, and blood flowed everywhere, gradually turning the land red.

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

When these people saw the Ruo Rong family who died tragically in the courtyard, they could basically predict what would happen to them. Some peed their pants in fright, and some became fearless, cursing at Zhang Yan, even Zhou Kui failed. spared.

Zhang Yan's face was livid, and a strange smile appeared on his stern face. With an order, these Ruo Rong's confidantes who were usually domineering in Xiapi were all beheaded one by two for public display.

At noon, Zhang Yan basically killed all of Ruo Rong's confidantes, but Ruo Rong's mansion became an execution ground, with blood flowing everywhere.

Zhang Yan ransacked Ruo Rong's family and killed not even a single baby.But there was no trace of joy on his face, but a trace of sadness.

Ruo 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 Ruo Rong?
Secondly, Ruo Rong and his henchmen were all killed. Most of these people were the leaders of various departments in the army. Once these people died, the army would have no leader. How to restrain the army in Xiapi?

Finally, once he occupies Xiapi, who should be stationed?
These are the three main problems that are currently troubling Zhang Yan. After thinking about it, he has not come up with a solution for the time being.

Just at this time Xu Sheng came back from outside the city and came to Ruo Rong Mansion, saw the dead bodies all over the ground, and said to Zhang Yan without changing his face: "I want to report to the master, it is a little luck, and I have succeeded in destroying all the dead bodies in the Futu Temple." All the more than 300 dead men who died here persuaded them to surrender, and they also expressed that they are willing to follow the master like me, and never turn away."

"Well, you did a good job. You persuaded these people to surrender, so let you be their leader, and they will be under your direct command in the future. As for the poison on them, I will find a way to get rid of them all as soon as possible of."

"Master's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and I don't know how to repay it..." Xu Sheng was so moved that he choked up when he spoke.

Zhang Yan first looked at Xu Sheng, then at Zhou Kui, and suddenly realized that there were too few talents available for his subordinates.

He thought carefully: "Xu Sheng is young and energetic, easy to get angry, leading soldiers is okay, but if he wants to be independent, he needs to hone his skills. Zhou Kui is too tactful, too accidental, and he has just joined me, and his intentions are unclear. , and can’t be entrusted. If I want to occupy this city of Xiapi, I have to keep people here to garrison it. Is it possible that I want to stay here myself?”

Just when he was at a loss, a Danyang soldier suddenly ran up to him, handed a letter into his hand, and said bluntly: "My lord, this is an urgent letter from the scouts sent by Mr. Chen, please read it!"

Zhang Yan opened the letter and read it hastily. The worry on his face disappeared immediately, and he burst out laughing in a flash: "This letter from Yuanlong came so timely, it can be called timely help!"

After he closed the letter, he no longer had to worry about talent, and immediately ordered Danyang soldiers to search the house and count the property in Ruo Rong's mansion.He asked Zhou Kui to count the grain, fodder, ordnance, horses, and the number of existing soldiers in the warehouse of Xiapi Mansion, and asked Xu Sheng to lead people to take the corpses from this place to the outside of the city to bury them, and searched the entire Futu Temple to see Does Ruo Rong hide treasures in the Futu Temple?

And he himself, sitting in the prefect's mansion in Xiapi City, dispatched more than a dozen Danyang soldiers. Dongyang County, Guangling County, went to pick up two people to Xiapi respectively.

Knowing that there was no one available under Zhang Yan's tent, Chen Deng considered that after killing Ruo Rong and occupying Xiapi, he would need someone to garrison and manage it. Yan.

This is a recommendation letter. In the letter, Chen Deng recommended three people, one is his younger brother Chen Ying, the other is Chen Jiao from Dongyang, Guangling, and the last one is Chen Qun, a famous scholar from Yuzhou.

In his letter, Chen Deng pointed out that Chen Ying was in his hometown of Huaipu, and Chen Jiao was in Dongyang. They only needed to send someone to invite them, and they would come.Only famous scholar Chen Qun needs to be invited by Zhang Yan himself. 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 out two teams, he immediately prepared some gifts, and then sent someone to inquire about Chen Qun's residence in the city.

After an hour of inquiring, the people sent out finally learned of Chen Qun's residence, and immediately returned to the prefect's mansion to inform Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan immediately asked someone to lead the way. He rode a dark cloud and snow horse, carrying 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 concentratedly. In addition, there are bazaars, horse markets, gold markets, restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and a small wharf nearby. Therefore, there are mixed dragons and snakes in this area, and the law and order are relatively chaotic. It is lively during the day and noisy at night.

Xiapi City is not small, but because Ruo Rong seized a lot of land to build his own mansion, the market, horse market, wine shop, tea house, and brothel that should have been in the north of the city were all moved to the vicinity of the wharf, which also made the place The place that was not well-off before seemed even more crowded.

Zhang Yan was wearing a helmet and armor, and all the people with him were wearing uniforms. Once they appeared, all the ghosts and monsters around here gave way, so that Zhang Yan could pass here with the carriage.Otherwise, you can only dismount and walk forward. If you want to pass here, you can only wait until midnight.

Soon, the group walked through the busiest 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 couldn't get in at all.

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

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

"Dong dong dong..."

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door. Through the crack of the door, Zhang Yan clearly saw a handsome man in a robe walking over.

This person was seven feet long, with a ruddy complexion and a fair complexion. The beard under the chin had obviously been carefully trimmed, and it was divided into several strands, which were erratic, giving him the smell of a goat.

This person walked to the door, saw Zhang Yan and the others standing outside through the crack of the door, did not open the door immediately, but first asked: "Excuse me, military lords, what do you want?"
