It seems that An Zhe's confusion is seen.

Master Lin said patiently: "The Lord of County Cao captured Xingyang and took Guangwu again, so there were more people coming to join him!"

"Mr. Cao's personality is upright and he is not allowed to oppress the people. But one of his subordinates Liu Jun relied on his side to conquer Xingyang with Prince Cao and forcibly rob the girl of the people. He was beaten and driven away by Prince Cao's beating!"

"Liu Jun was not convinced, so he pulled a team to grab the county town. There was also Shao Mingjie, who was also dissatisfied with the governance policy of County Lord Cao, and also pulled a team to riot!"

An Zhe understood that these two people were using Cao Qiang's reputation to recruit talents and develop themselves.

There are many chaotic people like this, and it is normal for such things to happen.

An Zhe didn't take it seriously, thinking of surrendering Master Lin and Cao Qiang, and then dealing with them was easy.

Seeing that An Zhe was not alert, Master Lin said, "Mr. An, there is another important reason for our surrender! I heard that the emperor sent a large army to encircle us!"

"Mr. Zhang also gave us a charge, saying that we killed you, the prefect of Zhengzhou and Lord. You will never tolerate us again this time!"

"Mr. An, I already know that you were attacked by bandits! I dare to assure you with the head on my neck that it was definitely not ours!"

When An Zhe was assassinated, he discovered that those who were chasing him were not what bandits should have. He was already suspicious.

Hearing this, he said, "It's not you, are it Liu Jun and Shao Mingjie's people?"

Master Lin shook his head: "It's impossible that they are! They fight bravely, but they don't have the courage and strength to assassinate the imperial envoy!"

"I have asked someone to investigate. The bandits who were chasing you disappeared without a trace afterwards, and the last person who saw them was in Shiqiu."

"Mr. An, the garrison troops of the Governor of the Cross-Strait Lord Zhang are in Shiqiu."

"I suspect that the so-called bandits who assassinated you are not our teams at all, but the soldiers of the garrison of Lord Zhang, the governor of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait!"

An Zhe was stunned when he heard it.

Lord Zhang is so bold that he will be asked to assassinate the imperial envoy.

But An Zhe's face darkened when he thought of what Xiao Lintian told him.

Before, he and Xiao Lintian suspected that things in Zhengzhou were not simple, and there must be hidden information.

Lord Zhang asked the soldiers to pretend to be bandits and assassinate him, but he must not want to continue to interfere in the bandits and riots in Zhengzhou.

Thinking of the murder of the spy he sent out, An Zhe also suspected that it was not done by the bandits, but by Lord Zhang's people.

But why did Lord Zhang kill spies and assassinate himself?

What did he risk being beheaded?

Cao Qiang and Master Lin are both local local snakes, and they may know the inside story that spies cannot find.

An Zhe directly asked his own questions.

After hearing An Zhe's question, Master Lin sneered: "The reason why the riots in these towns are so turbulent is all caused by Lord Zhang."

"In recent years, Lord Zhang asked several county magistrates to requisition strong men in order to build rivers. The compensation paid to them was very small, and the huge river repair fees allocated by the court every year were divided up by Lord Zhang and his prefectures and county magistrates."

"These layers of divisions have led to perfunctory construction of rivers. When the rainy season comes, the rivers built can't withstand the impact of floods and collapse for more than ten miles. The flood destroyed two villages and nearly two hundred people died..."

An Zhe opened his eyes wide in surprise. This was a huge disaster, but why did they have never heard of it?
