With Zhang Yan's order, the Danyang soldiers rushed directly into Zhu Rong's mansion and began to arrest him in large quantities. The entire Zhu Yuan was suddenly in chaos and was in chaos.

Half an hour later, all three hundred and fifty-six people in the house were caught, and no one was leaked.

Zhang Yan sat in the courtyard of Zuo Mansion, glanced at the group of people tied up in various colors, and said expressionlessly: "Whoever can point out the person who is related to Zuo Rong, I will release anyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper of the house immediately pointed out all the wife, daughter, son and nephew of Su Rong, and even the close maid.

Zhang Yan sought truth from Zhou Kui one by one. After Zhou Kui took a closer look, he nodded repeatedly.

So, Zhang Yan asked someone to loosen the butler of Zuo Rong. The butler shamelessly ran to Zhang Yan, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for not killing me, the little one will never forget you. The adult is wise and powerful. If you don't dislike me, the little one is willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and you will never deviate from this life!"

Zhang Yan sneered, and didn't even look at the butler's face, and said, "You betrayed him just now. If you follow me, you will not treat me like this one day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed quickly in front of the butler, and a head of the butler rolled to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, a very living person turned into a dead body, and blood kept gushing out of his cavity, dyeing a large area at Zhang Yan's feet red.

When the people in Zuorong Mansion saw this, they looked chilled. In their opinion, Zhang Yan was extremely terrifying.

Zhang Yan stood up slowly and said loudly: "Your master just died, and your housekeeper betrayed him. Such a person will only harm people if he stays in the world. It is better to kill a hundred people. However, you can rest assured that I will not make things difficult for you for anyone who has nothing to do with Zuo Rong."

Afterwards, Zhang Yan asked all the servants and maids in the house of Zuo Rong, leaving only those who were related to Zuo Rong, and asked the servants and maids' wages in the house of Zuo Rong, and then asked them to pay each of them three months of wages and send them away.

These servants and maids were very moved when they received their wages and were even more grateful to Zhang Yan. They worked in the mansion for many years, and they rarely received wages except for eating and accommodation. These people dared not speak out. In addition, the control of Zuo Rong was very strict, and they were like slaves in the mansion.

More than 300 servants and maids left the house, leaving only a dozen of Zurong's family members, including a few months old.

These people knelt there, trembling, and they didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Yan. They felt even more up and down, and they didn't know what Zhang Yan would do to deal with them.

"Everything is executed on the spot, no one is left!" Zhang Yan ordered without even taking a look.

The Danyang soldiers said "very" and instantly pulled out their weapons, killing all of Su Rong's family, without even letting go of a baby.

Zhou Kui, who had not spoken aside, was frightened when he saw him. Zhang Yan's ruthlessness was considered to be aware of Zhang Yan's ruthlessness.

In the courtyards in the palace, people of all sizes were scattered, and blood was flowing everywhere, gradually watering this land with blood.

At this time, several teams of people who were ordered to arrest Zurong's confidant rushed over one after another, detaining some people and pushing them into Zurong's mansion.

These people could basically predict their fate when they saw the tragic death of the Xie Rong family in the courtyard. Some were so scared that they peeed their pants, while others became fearless and cursed Zhang Yan, and even Zhou Kui was not spared.

Zhang Yan's face turned pale, and a strange smile appeared on his cold face. At the command, these confidants who were usually arrogant and blessed in Xia Pi were all beheaded and displayed in public.

At noon, Zhang Yan basically killed all of Su Rong's confidant, but Su Rong's mansion became a execution ground, with blood flowing everywhere.

Zhang Yan killed the whole family, not even a baby was left behind. He did a very good job and really did it. However, there was no trace of joy on his face, but there was a trace of sorrow.

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

First of all, what should I do if the property, fertile land and houses owned by Xu Rong?

Secondly, all of Zuo Rong and his followers were killed. Most of these people were the leaders of various units in the army. Once this group of people died, the army was without a leader. How could they restrain the army in Xia Pi?

In the end, once he occupied Xia Pi, who should be stationed?

These are the three main problems that are currently troubled by Zhang Yan. After thinking about it, he has not yet come up with a solution.

Just then, Xu Sheng rushed back from outside the city and came to Zurong Mansion. He saw dead bodies all over the ground. He said to Zhang Yan with his face: "Report to Master, I am very lucky to be absurd. He has successfully persuaded all the more than 300 dead soldiers in the Futu Temple to surrender. They also expressed that they are willing to follow the master like me and never deviate from him."

"Well, you did a good job. You are the ones you persuaded to surrender, so you will be their leader. From now on, they will be your direct command. As for the poison on them, I will find a way to relieve you all as soon as possible."

"My master is as kind as a mountain to me, and I don't know how to repay me..." Xu Sheng was moved and choked when he spoke.

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

He thought carefully: "Xu Sheng is young and energetic, easy to act in anger, and it's okay to lead troops. If you want to be alone, you still need to be tempered. Zhou Kui is too smooth and too accidental. In addition, he just took effect as a result of me, and his mind is not clear, and he cannot be entrusted. If I want to occupy this Xia Pi City, I have to keep people here to guard. Could it be that I want to stay here in person?"

Just when he was at a loss, a Danyang soldier suddenly ran to him and handed a letter to him, saying bluntly: "Lord, this is an urgent letter sent by Lord Chen to send a scout. Please check it out!"

Zhang Yan opened the letter and hurriedly read it. The sorrow on his face suddenly disappeared. In just a moment, he laughed: "Yuan Long's letter came so timely, it is really a timely help!"

He closed the letter and no longer had to worry about talent issues. He immediately ordered the Danyang soldiers to start scouting their houses and counting the property in the house in Zurong. He asked Zhou Kui to count the food, weapons, horses and the number of soldiers in Xia Pi's treasury, and asked Xu Sheng to lead people to bury the body of the land outside the city, and searched the entire Futu Temple to see if Zurong hid treasures in the Futu Temple.

He himself was in the prefect's mansion in Xia Pi City and drew more than a dozen Danyang soldiers, divided into two groups, taking his famous spies and some gifts, heading all the way to Huaipu County in Xia Pi, and the other way to Dongyang County in Guangling County, to pick up two people to Xia Pi.

Chen Deng knew that there was no one under Zhang Yan's tent. Considering that he had killed Zuo Rong and needed someone to garrison and manage after occupying Xia Pi, he prepared for the future and hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Yan and asked the scout to take it to Zhang Yan.

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

In the letter, Chen Deng pointed out that Chen Ying was in his hometown Huaipu and Chen Jiao was in Dongyang. These two people only needed to send someone to invite them and they would come. Only the famous scholar Chen Qun needed Zhang Yan to invite them in person. 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, he immediately started preparing some gifts, and then sent someone to inquire about Chen Qun's residence in the city.

After an hour-long inquiry, the sent out finally learned about Chen Qun's residence and immediately returned to the prefect's residence to inform Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan immediately asked someone to lead the way. He rode on a dark cloud and walked to Chen Qun's residence happily with a gift from a carriage.

Chen Qun lives in the southeast of Xia Pi City, where the people in the city live in a relatively concentrated area. In addition, there are markets, horse markets, gold markets, wine shops, tea shops, brothels, and a small pier nearby. Therefore, this area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the public security is relatively chaotic, which is lively during the day and noisy at night.

Xia Pi City is not small, but because Zurong occupied a lot of land to build his own mansion, the market, horse market, wine shops, tea shops, and brothels in the north of the city were all moved near the dock, which also made the originally insufficient place appear even more crowded.

Zhang Yan wore a helmet and armor, and all the people he brought were wearing uniforms. Once they appeared, all the demons and gods nearby gave way. Only then could Zhang Yan take the carriage through here. Otherwise, he would have to get off the horse and walk forward. If he wanted to pass here, he would have to wait until the second half of the night.

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

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

In desperation, Zhang Yan had to park the carriage outside and asked someone to carry boxes of gifts to follow him to Chen Qun's house.

After a while of hiking, Zhang Yan and others finally arrived at Chen Qun's house. He tidied up his clothes, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

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

This person is seven feet long, has a rosy face and fair skin. The beard under his jaw has obviously been carefully repaired and divided into several strands, fluttering and has a bit of a goaty smell.

The man walked to the door and saw Zhang Yan and others standing outside through the crack. He did not open the door immediately, but asked first: "May I ask a few soldiers, are you doing anything?"
