Yongxin County Magistrate Lu Chengwu reported the victory.
He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
The Ma Bandits were finally taken care of.
To be honest, the five counties of Longgang were divided equally.
Lu Chengwu broke out in a cold sweat.
Some time ago, he had been writing memorials to the imperial court, asking them to quickly eliminate the bandits.
If he allowed the bandits to continue like this…
The imperial court's decree would probably not work in the entire Jiangyou area.
Lu Chengwu only heaved a sigh of relief when Alan Tai arrived.
The army of the imperial court has arrived.
The Ma Bandits would definitely fall apart.
However, Lu Chengwu did not expect the bandits to be so bold as to attack Alantai's food.
What happened next.
Lu Chengwu was actually also involved.
Old Huang wanted to swallow the land of the small and medium-sized landlords.
Lu Chengwu was a middleman.
He was in charge of connecting Master Huang and Alan Tai.
After the matter was settled, they would split the money 30 - 70.
70% belonged to Old Master Huang and 30% belonged to Alan Tai.
Of course, there was also a lot of profit for Lu Chengwu.
This was a benefit. After all, the county head was busy. Since Old Master Huang had taken the benefits, he had to give the county head some benefits.
Treat him, behead him, and accept him as a dog.
Old Master Huang was very familiar with their tricks.
Alan Tai was the one who treated Lu Chengwu to a meal. Beheading him was to deal with accidents like Zhang Mu. If he accepted him as a dog, Lu Chengwu would have to kneel down and bark.
Without us squires and gentry, you would be blind as an official of the imperial court.
After taking the money, Lu Chengwu was also calculating in his heart. He could be considered to have a good relationship with Alan Tai. Alan Tai was also the Crown Prince's confidant. In the future, if he was successful, he might be able to protect him. Perhaps, he might even be able to advance.
However, what Lu Chengwu did not expect was…
The front leg. The good news had just been sent out.
Soon after, Zhang Mu's bandit army arrived.
This time, Zhang Mu came very quickly.
When they arrived at Yongxin County, they went straight to the yamen without a word.
The number of Qing soldiers who were willing to stay in Zhang Mu's team was not a small number.
The number of bandits had increased from five thousand to fifteen thousand.
Of course, when they went down the mountain, they didn't need so many people. They only needed a few hundred people to control Yongxin County.
Lu Chengwu was taken down on the spot.
"Who is it? Who is it?!"
Lu Chengwu was pressed to the ground, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
After that.
Pa! Pa!
A series of footsteps could be heard as a young man approached him step by step.
Lu Chengwu raised his head and barely managed to see who it was.
He was very young, but he still looked familiar.
Looking at it again, wasn't this the famous wanted criminal, Zhang Mazi?
Instantly, Lu Chengwu felt that his brain was not enough.
Lu Chengwu did not know how to do it at all.
Didn't we agree on a great victory?
Didn't they say that the bandits had been completely wiped out and that they were now looking for the bandit leader, Zhang Mazi?
Why did he appear in front of her now?
Zhang Mazi is here again?
Then what was the situation with the previous great victory? Didn't they say that the bandits had been completely wiped out and that the only thing left was to search the mountain for Zhang Mu?
Now, why did he appear in front of her so openly?
Lu Chengwu was sweating profusely.”
Zhang Mu sat on the table and casually picked up the gavel that Lu Chengwu usually used. A smile appeared on his face."What's wrong? Lu Chengwu, are you very surprised?"
The muscles on Lu Chengwu's face couldn't help but tremble. However, at this moment, he still showed some dominance."Zhang Mazi, how dare you! Do you know where this is?”This is the county government office. You really don't know what's good for you. You actually dare to come to the county government office. The imperial court's army is looking for you everywhere!”
Zhang Mu said calmly,"Lu Chengwu, you're the one who's really bold. With you as a father and mother, the people of Yongxin County will truly be in trouble for thousands of years. The land in the hands of the farmers was forcefully sold at a low price to the large clans and gentry of Yongxin County. Countless people were forced into a corner by you and were forced to sell their children. Let me ask you, do you have a trace of conscience in your heart?”
"Zhang Mu, don't you dare spout nonsense here!”Lu Chengwu said loudly," You're just a commoner. You colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. That's the true crime that deserves ten thousand deaths. So what if you're arrogant today? Once the imperial court's army finds you, they'll definitely tear you into pieces!”
Zhang Mu only glanced at Lu Chengwu, but he was too lazy to continue talking to Lu Chengwu. He just waved his hand and said indifferently,"Detain him!"
Lu Chengwu was still shouting.
However, he quickly stopped shouting because he saw an old acquaintance in the cell.
Alan Tai.
Alan Tai had been captured alive by Zhang Mu. Now, Zhang Mu was going to fake a great victory.
Lu Chengwu was stunned. He even felt that his brain was not working well.
Alantai being captured alive meant that the imperial court had lost.
The Ma Bandits were much stronger than he had imagined.
At this moment, Lu Chengwu suddenly felt a little afraid.
His backer was actually useless?
At the very least, after the bandits had him under control, he really had no ability to resist at all.
Zhang Mu's purpose in coming to Yongxin County was simple.
Be a model.
After that, Alan Tai, Lu Chengwu, and all the major clans and landowners were cleaned up.
He wanted to tell everyone that the laws of the Qing Dynasty were useless here. The laws of the Da Tong Society were the most useful here.
Previously, when Alain Tai took the opportunity to divide the land of the small and medium-sized landowners and farmers, it had already caused public resentment here.
It was just nice to pull them out and set an example.
Zhang Mu had already made preparations. The first place to make a move was Yongxin County.
"Establishing a farming community and dividing the land equally. It's best to solve this problem before the spring sowing!”
Zhang Mu played with the gavel in his hand as he looked at Su Hanchen and said,"Pay attention to publicizing our policies. In addition, collect evidence and gather all the farmers, small and medium-sized landowners who have plundered their land. We need to find evidence and let the public interrogate Lu Chengwu and Alan Tai. These two people have committed heinous crimes.”
Su Hanchen nodded.
