That night, the entire Zhou family mansion was in a state of chaos.

After learning that her eldest brother and his entire family had been captured, Mrs. Zhou, who had always been steady, couldn't help but become anxious. Not long after Zhou Zhonghong stepped through the door, she hurriedly asked him questions.

Zhou Zhonghong was originally irritated because of Shen Yunyi's incident, but now he was suddenly questioned by his wife again, and he immediately lost his temper.

"You still have the nerve to ask your eldest brother? Take a good look for yourself and see what kind of bad things your nephew who is worse than a pig has done. My old face has been completely disgraced today!"

Zhou Zhonghong slammed the document in his hand onto the table, and then sat down at the desk with a dark face and said nothing.

Looking at the paper that her husband suddenly threw out, Mrs. Zhou frowned, and her intuition told her that the things inside seemed not simple.

As a result, after reading through it, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel a chill down her back.

Is this Chen Yun also seeking death? Forget it if he is seeking death by pretending to be a Taiping Army? How many heads does he have that he can chop off?

"This...where does this come from?"

Looking at the evidence in front of her, Mrs. Zhou asked with her body trembling slightly.

"Who else could it be? Do you think he would just arrest people for no reason?"

Zhou Zhonghong snorted coldly.

"...Then they..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's whole body suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

No one is a fool. How could her brother and sister-in-law not know about what Shen Yunyi did?

How could a team of more than sixty people be gathered at will? The Shen family was not considered a wealthy family.

"Okay, they have to bear the sins they themselves have committed. I have told you a long time ago that disaster will happen to your mother's family sooner or later. They don't know how to restrain themselves at all and are arrogant all day long. Domineering, do you really think no one can cure them?"

Zhou Zhonghong really hated the iron at this moment, but at the same time, he was also full of regret.

If I had known that this guy was this kind of person, he should have cleaned up his family earlier. Now that something like this has happened, how will others see him?

When he thought of this, Zhou Zhonghong felt angry again, but when he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhou, she had already sat at the table and wiped away tears.

Seeing his wife, who had been with him for half his life, cry, Zhou Zhonghong also sighed helplessly.

…

The news about the Shen family spread throughout the entire Songjiang Mansion almost instantly, and Zhang Fan himself had not deliberately concealed it, so now almost everyone knew what the Shen family had done.

When they learned that this group of people actually pretended to be the Taiping Army, many people were in an uproar. They never thought that such a thing could happen.

"What's so strange about this? I heard from people who had escaped from the north that there seemed to be Taiping troops in Anhui and Shandong, and the imperial court had encircled and suppressed them several times. If they were really Taiping troops, how dare they?"

At this time, someone among the people spoke up.

"Is it so chaotic outside now?"

Hearing that there were traces of the Taiping Army outside, many people couldn't help but look sideways.

"Who says it's not the case? The Taiping Army here won the battle, and many people started to use this excuse to pull people away. Let alone outside, I heard someone say a few days ago that there seemed to be Taiping Army people in our city who wanted to pull people away. A new team is recruiting people."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it. The Taiping Army is still recruiting people now?"

As soon as they heard that the Taiping Army was recruiting people, many people became interested.

Nowadays, with the transformation of urban areas, many new types of equipment have begun to gradually appear, including those that can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and even swim in the water.

Moreover, every time the red police soldiers crossed the street, their steps and demeanor were consistent. Their tall and straight postures, serious atmosphere, and seemingly sophisticated equipment made many young people envious of them.

But it is a pity that until now, there has been no news that the Taiping Army is recruiting people.

"It must be a lie. Look at those soldiers standing guard. How can ordinary people train them? These are all heavenly soldiers and generals from the sky. Who do we think they can want from us?

Besides, even if you really want to recruit people, you have to at least put up a list announcement. As for being sneaky, I see that most of those guys are just fakes like this group of people."

The people among the people kept talking, and Zhou Zhonghong's face didn't look good at the moment.

After being interrogated by the spies, Shen Yunyi, a weakling, basically flirted with him without much resistance.

His matter is not complicated. He is just impersonating the Taiping Army to do evil, confiscating his family and exterminating his family.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

But the tricky thing is, according to what the other party said, there is a group of thieves posing as the Taiping Army near Yangzhou, and they are still recruiting troops.

It can be said that Chen Yunyi is very courageous. When he found out that he was not the only one pretending to be someone else, he actually tried to find out the details of the other party. But this inquiry didn't matter, he actually found out. A little bit.

"White Lotus Sect!?"

Listening to Zhou Zhonghong's report, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

This name is so familiar to him.

You know, the first thing he knew about the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty was from this sect. How come this matter is still related to the other party?

"I didn't expect that this matter would actually be done by them. If this is the case, then this matter is not an ordinary trouble."

Zhou Zhonghong's face was solemn at this moment. As the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he naturally knew a thing or two about the White Lotus Sect.

Although this sect is usually invisible, as a sect that has existed since the Tang Dynasty, their underground power is naturally so huge that even the imperial court cannot guarantee that there will be no members of the other party.

Now this group of people has actually begun to use the banner of the Taiping Army, which makes people a little worried.

You must know that the White Lotus Sect never takes action at will. Now that such a move is suddenly coming, they must have been fully prepared.

"In your opinion, if this is really the White Lotus Sect, then Anhui, Shandong, Henan and other places may also be this group of people."

After recalling the rough information about the White Lotus Sect in his mind, Zhang Fan suddenly realized that in terms of their power, not only Yangzhou, but even the Taiping Army in other provinces might also be related to the other party.

"Although there is no complete evidence, I think it should be the same group of people. The forces of the White Lotus Sect are complex, and only they can have the ability to mobilize so many teams in such a short period of time.

What I am most worried about now is us, because their move is probably to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

Zhou Zhonghong has been an official for many years and has seen a lot of conspiracies. Now that the White Lotus Sect has suddenly made such a big move, I am afraid that they are trying to "kill someone with a borrowed knife".

Borrow their swords to clear out the Qing Dynasty. Then the world will be in chaos, and they might be able to get a share of the pie.
