In the afternoon, two red-painted copper-skinned doors in the big house of Zheng's family in Dongtai County were slapped and loudly. The gatekeeper had just opened a crack in the door and was about to look at who was so arrogant outside the door, but the gate was violently knocked open. The gatekeeper was knocked to the sky with his feet facing the sky, and a hole was opened on his cheek, and blood was flowing.

"Damn it, you guys..." The doorman covered his cheek and got up and was about to curse. But when he saw a group of murderous soldiers breaking in with flintlock rifles, he was so scared that he swallowed the words back.

Immediately afterwards, the gatekeeper saw Zhu Wan, the one-armed county magistrate, walked in like a meteor, and walked straight to the front yard hall.

At this time, the old butler of Zheng Mansion ran out of the house. Seeing this incident, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He smiled flatteringly and said, "The county magistrate is here, and it's a long way to go... Oh!"

Before the old housekeeper could finish his words, a 500-battalion soldier rushed forward and smashed him down with a buttstock. He instantly burst into blood and fainted on the ground.

This time, the fifty brothers who stayed in Dongtai County suffered heavy casualties, and even a hundred households Zhao Bin died in battle. The Zheng family was full of spies who were thieves, so this fierce soldier was extremely ruthless.

Zhu Wan's heart was burning with anger at this moment, so she did not stop the warrior from avenging her private revenge. After seeing the blood, his originally pale face even showed a trace of blood and continued to walk towards the hall.

When Zhu Wan came to the Zheng family's intermediate court, the head of the family, Zheng Shirong, finally rushed over after hearing the news. He was followed by more than a dozen guards carrying weapons, which was obviously guilty.

"Zhu Wan, what do you mean?" Zheng Shirong was shocked when he saw the murderous soldiers of the Five Hundred Battalions behind Zhu Wan, but he shouted with a harsh and cowardly expression on his lips: "My Zheng family is a prominent family in Dongtai County. I am also an authentic juren. How dare you lead someone to force me to break into my Zheng family?"

Zhu Wan did not answer, took the flintlock rifle from a fierce man with one hand, stepped forward and smashed a gun into Zheng Shirong's face. The latter probably did not expect that Zhu Wan, a scholar, was so rude, and he didn't react at all. He was smashed on the spot, and his lips were cracked and his teeth were broken. He screamed and fell to the ground.

It is the flesh and flesh flying together, and the nose and blood are the same!

The dozen guards behind Zheng Shirong subconsciously drew their swords, and the banging gunshots rang out. The dozen guards immediately fell in a pool of blood and howled ghosts and wolves, and the blood soaked the courtyard.

"The Zheng family is engaged in Japanese pirates, and the crime should be punished. I was ordered by the imperial envoy to confiscate the Zheng family. All the Zheng family members were arrested and brought to justice, but if there are those who resist, they will be killed!" Zhu Wan shouted loudly, her pale face turned redder, and even her eyes seemed to have a charming dark red.

Zheng Shirong didn't feel the pain in an instant, but only felt a bone-bone chill rising from the tailbone to the back of his head, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, making his heart and lungs feel cold!

With Zhu Wan's order, the 500 battalions rushed out like wolves and tigers, and the entire Zheng family mansion was instantly in chaos, and the crying sounded shocked the neighbors.

Soon, hundreds of people from the Zheng family were arrested and locked, and those who resisted were shot and killed immediately. The spy who were robbed inside and outside was most hated.

The county jail was burned down, but it didn't matter. The Zheng family's house was big enough and the walls were very high, so it was simply used as a temporary prison cell. The yamen runners even moved in torture instruments.

In the temporary torture room, Zheng Shirong, his three brothers, four sons and six grandsons were tied to the pillars. The soldering iron was burning red on the stove next to it.

The one-armed county magistrate Zhu Wan, except for his bloodshot eyes and no expression on his face, sat behind the desk with his left hand. Han Dajie, a hundred household of Jinyiwei, rolled up the sleeves of the flying fish suit, and used iron pliers to pick up a red soldering iron, and swept over the three generations of the Zheng family with malicious intentions.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" One of Zheng Shirong's grandsons collapsed first, and then others expressed their willingness to confess and confess.

Zheng Shirong sighed and said dejectedly: "Mr. Zhu, I have called me. I am indeed colluding with thieves to attack Dongtai County!"

"Why?"

"A considerable part of the goods from Dongsha Island belongs to my Zheng family. I want to rescue Dong Sipan and destroy the evidence at the same time."

"Who else conspires?"

"No more, this is just a stupid thing that I did in a moment of confusion."

Han Dajie, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, sneered, and the hot soldering iron pressed on Zheng Shirong's Changsun. The blue smoke suddenly burst into tears, causing the man to scream Lian Tian. A smell of burnt flesh instantly spread.

"Dad, now you'll have to deal with it. Zheng Shirong's eldest son couldn't help crying when he saw his son's miserable situation."

Zheng Shirong felt his eyes in pain and sighed: "The Zhao family and the He family have participated in the smuggling, and Doctor Ma in the city also participates..."

Zhu Wan picked up the pen and wrote down these names one by one. Zheng Shirong said eight names and stopped talking, saying that he only knew so much. Although Han Dajie rewarded him with a red-burning iron, he still insisted that he only knew these.

Zhu Wan did not continue to force the question, and immediately led people to arrest the eight people confessed by Zheng Shirong, and interrogated them non-stop. Soon, more and more people were confessed, and more and more people were arrested, some were gentry from neighboring counties, peddlers, or even ordinary people.

More and more people were involved, and the entire Zheng family mansion was soon overcrowded. Zhu Wan was like crazy. No matter whether you are a gentry or a commoner, he would immediately send someone to capture him whenever you were involved.

As a result, the entire Dongtai County was in a panic, and everyone was in danger of being both gentry and the people.

As the saying goes, you can eat the mountains and the sea. Small counties like Dongtai County, which are bordered by the sea, originally have little arable land, and most of them are occupied by landlords and gentry. Ordinary people can only dig out food from the sea. The most profitable salt industry is monopolized by the government, and the little money earned by the stove households is not enough to settle down.

The key is that the court ordered a severe ban on the sea last year, and the fishermen even deprived of their right to go out to sea to fish. For the sake of the family's livelihood, many people secretly traded with pirates on Dongsha Island and even sent their nephews to Dongsha Island to be pirates.

Therefore, Zhu Wan's arrest was out of control. The people complained, and some even angrily scolded Zhu Wan as a mad county magistrate in the street and threw stones into the county government in the dark.

Of course, the Jinyiwei immediately reported to Xu Jin, who attached great importance to this. After all, if this continues, it is very likely to lead to civil unrest.

Xu Jin immediately summoned Zhu Wan to talk, but the stubborn Magistrate Zhu disagreed. The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let alone the common people who violated the law.

However, after some detailed discussion, the crazy County Magistrate Zhu calmed down and agreed not to punish ordinary people. He also released a group of gentry and people with minor circumstances at their discretion. Those with moderate circumstances were fined for crimes, and those with serious circumstances were continued to be detained for trial.
