Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 232 Second Master Zhen Yan: You and my second sister have arranged the marriage
The lady and the second son Zhen Yan had just received a positive response from Zhang Sui and they breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, hearing what County Captain Wang Hao said, they were both a little confused.

What's going on?
County Commandant Wang Hao is from the Wang family!
What does he mean by this?
After hearing what County Captain Wang Hao said, Zhang Sui looked Wang Hao up and down with a strange look on his face.

Before traveling through time, when he was reading history books, he discovered that many people from aristocratic families were actually fence-sitters.

In the face of absolute strength, their expressions changed faster than anyone else.

What good virtues are there? In fact, many of them are just boasting by historians.

Now it seems that the county commander Wang Hao had proven this with his live performance in front of him.

Wang Hao, the county lieutenant, was also a little scared by Zhang Sui's gaze. He could only force a smile and asked awkwardly, "Captain Zhang, yes, what's the problem?"

Zhang Sui then patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay."

“I just think you’re very smart.”

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

"I can give you a chance."

"But don't turn around easily in the future."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I don't mind people who are on my side, but if they turn against me, I won't show mercy when I kill them back."

County Captain Wang Hao hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhang Sui then escorted his wife, the second son Zhen Yan, the housekeeper and others into the hall, and asked dozens of city defense soldiers to guard the door to prevent anyone from approaching. He then took Zhao Yun and other Changshan County heroes to continue joining the battle and killed all the people from these big families!

It wasn't just the people who invaded the Zhen family mansion.

There are also the descendants of the main families who are waiting in the mansions of various aristocratic families.

The rebellion of these big families has already begun, so we cannot give them, at least the people of the main families, any chance to resist again!

Moreover, the news of this "suppression of rebellion" will definitely reach Yuan Shao's ears.

If the main people of each family are not eradicated, their money cannot be collected.

By then, Yuan Shao will most likely hold someone accountable.

Zhang Sui himself did not want to bear the harm caused by a "spark" in the future.

Nearly 5,000 soldiers in the Zhen family mansion were all killed.

Afterwards, the cavalry and city defense forces rushed into the mansions of large families such as the Liu family and the Wang family and killed the children of the main families.

The battle continued until dawn the next day.

The people in Wuji County did not dare to sleep all night.

Outside, there were sounds of fighting, screaming, wailing, and begging for mercy everywhere.

The people huddled at the doorsteps of their homes, trembling with fear.

Some women and children in particular were so frightened that they started crying but dared not make any sound.

After dawn, the entire Wuji County returned to peace again.

But the people still did not dare to come out.

Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun, county commander Wang Hao and others walked on the streets, watching corpses being dragged out from various places, loaded onto carriages, and transported outside the city for burial.

Zhang Sui also felt a little chill in his heart.

It has been more than a year since he came here, and he has seen so many people being killed.

However, those were fights between soldiers.

Among those killed in the battle all night last night, except for the four or five thousand soldiers, the rest were the elderly, the weak, women and children from various big families.

For the first time, Zhang Sui found that he had gradually integrated into the chaotic world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and became a butcher with blood on his hands.

It was also the first time that he could understand why Cao Cao and others would repeatedly massacre cities.

After killing so many people, his mind became abnormal and he became numb and insensitive to killing. At this time, the lives in front of him were no longer lives, but chickens and ducks to be slaughtered.

While the city defense troops were quickly dealing with the corpses, the cavalry quickly entered the warehouses of the major families, transported out all kinds of money, sent them to the south gate of the city, piled them up, and sealed them up.

Zhang Sui had already written a letter to Zhang He, the commander of the cavalry army who was still in Jingjing County, reporting the supplies seized during this "suppression of the rebellion" and waiting for Zhang He to write a letter to the government of Yecheng to ask them to transport the supplies away.

It took a whole day, and all the descendants of the Liu family, Wang family and other major families in Wuji County were razed to the ground!
Their relatives were not killed, but they all offered money in exchange for their lives.

At dusk, Zhang Sui invited his wife, his second son Zhen Yan, and the heads of all the small families in Wuji County who did not participate in the "rebellion" to hold a meeting in the county government office.

During the meeting, everyone elected the temporary county magistrate of Wuji County: Zhou Jiong, the former county magistrate of Wuji County.

Zhou Jiong was the deputy of the murdered county magistrate Zhang Shen. He had previously dissuaded the magistrate Zhang Shen from participating in the destruction of the Zhen family, but his advice was not accepted.

Zhou Jiong was from Hejian, Jizhou, and not a native of Wuji County.

It complies with the "Three Mutual Laws" rules for appointing officials by the Han Dynasty.

As for the commander of Wuji County, the rules of the previous two commanders will still apply.

The county commander is still the previous county commander Wang Hao.

Another county commander was Zhao Yun.

The last item on the agenda of the meeting was that too many people had died in Wuji County and a lot of fertile land had no owner.

These fertile fields were taken over by the government of Wuji County, and no one was allowed to buy them.

In order to manage these fertile fields, Zhang Sui suggested purchasing the Black Mountain Army captives from Jingjing County.

These Montenegrin prisoners of war could be used to cultivate land and as city defense forces.

At the meeting, Zhang Sui advocated that each family head donate some money.

After all, the city defense forces are also there to protect the people of Wuji County.

After the meeting, Zhang Suicai took Zhao Yun and others, followed by his wife and second son Zhen Yan, back to the Zhen family.

After returning to the Zhen family, the second son Zhen Yan was extremely excited.

Originally, there were several large families coexisting in Wuji County.

The Liu family was especially powerful, as the murdered old man Liu Hui had served as an assistant to Yuan Shao, and their strength was increasing rapidly.

This is a long time.

The Zhen family, originally a real aristocratic family, has seen its status become lower and lower because fewer and fewer people have entered officialdom in recent generations.

Especially since the second son Zhen Yan’s father was only the magistrate of Quliang and he died young.

This led to the Zhen family being severely bullied by the Liu family.

It's not just many industries that are being suppressed.

The Liu family even forcefully demanded that the Zhen family marry the second daughter, Zhen Mi, to Liu Shuang, a playboy in the Liu family.

Now, whether it is the Liu family or the Wang family, all their main clan members are gone.

There are only some side tribes, but they are no match at all.

The second son Zhen Yan excitedly shook Zhang Sui's hand and said, "Bocheng, I knew you were an extraordinary person."

The lady looked towards Zhang Sui, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

If he hadn't been here during the battle last night, she couldn't even imagine what the situation would have been like!
The second son Zhen Yan smiled and said, "It just so happens, Bocheng, today I will tell you about the marriage between my second sister and you!"

"The eldest son has written a letter to bring you together before."

"It's just that you are away fighting, so I can't tell you."

"Now that you're back, I'm back too, just in time to get this done!"

"I will write a letter to my second sister and have someone send it to Yecheng to call her back. You can choose a good date and get married!"
