Compared with the inspection department, the South Imperial City Department was cautious, and the soldiers on Jiangnan West Road under the Governor's Office seemed to be unscrupulous in Zong Ze's anger.

A deputy head, with three hundred people, appeared in a small village under Hongzhou Prefecture.

Built along the lake, less than thirty miles away from Hongzhou Prefecture, but there is no prosperity and bustle at all, and it is relatively closed.

Cheng Yao and his people stood at the entrance of the village. Looking at the dense village made of stone bricks not far away, his fat face was full of coldness.

He is a burly man, one head taller than an ordinary person, more than a circle larger, holding a steel knife in his hand, and his eyes are fierce.

He was recruited by Zong Ze on Hedong Road and followed Zong Ze. After Zhao Xu personally led the army to Xixia, Xu Gong became the deputy chief and had 300 people under his command.

The Huwei Army was restructured into Nandaying, and Cheng Yao was transferred to the Governor's Office to be responsible for the rectification of the soldiers of Hongzhou Prefecture and the soldiers of the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction.

He was originally nearby, and received Zong Ze's order and mobilized people without hesitation to go straight to Jilong Village.

The village caused a stir because of Cheng Yao's arrival. The originally quiet village was crowded with people, and many people gathered, looking out from afar, and they dared not get close.

I don’t know how long it took, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, wearing half-old official uniform, walked out of the village, came closer, observed it, raised his hand and said, "Wang Ji, a former member of the Ministry of Rites, has seen Dutou, but he doesn’t know that the army is approaching. What’s the matter?"

Cheng Yao kept staring at him until Wang Ji was a little uncomfortable, and then he buzzed: "It was only five miles away from here. The imperial court built a wharf. Last night, bandits attacked him. The wharf was burned. He fought with sixteen civilians, and you know?"

Wang Ji had a gentle and polite face and said quickly: "Du Tou saw it, and almost no one in our village went out. I only realized it when I heard Du Tou say it. Please forgive me."

Cheng Yao's face twitched, his expression was murderous, and he said, "Not five miles away, the sound of killing sounds like thunder, and the light of fire soars into the sky. There are still people in your village doing things. It's almost a day, but you don't know?"

Wang Ji looked cold and raised his hand, saying, "I really don't know. Our chicken cage is abiding by the king's laws and is divided into villages."

Cheng Yao showed a hint of grim expression on his face and said, "Those thieves must be working inside and outside, otherwise they would not have done so smoothly. In addition to the dozen dead, a few others were missing. It just so happened that those people were from your village."

Wang Ji was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, and said, "I never thought about whether he fell into the water or was pressed to find him where he was not found?"

Cheng Yao immediately pulled out his knife and shouted: "It seems that you are also a participant. Come and take it down for me! Others follow me into the village!"

Wang Ji's face suddenly changed and he said, "You have no evidence, why should you arrest people?"

"ah……"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yao kicked to the ground, and then a group of soldiers rushed over, pressed him down and tied him up.

Wang Ji was anxious and shouted: "I am a scholar who has fame and fortune and has entered the officialdom. You can't arrest me without any evidence!"

Cheng Yao sneered, ignored him at all, and looked at the village not far away. Someone was gathering rapidly, holding swords and spears in his hands.

"This is obviously prepared..."

Cheng Yao had more murderous intent on his face. He was a gangster in the world. He shouted as he saw it: "Everyone went into the village and searched me from door to door. He found those three people or other suspicious people. He took them all for me. He dared to resist, and was punished for rebellion and killed them on the spot!"

"yes!"

Three hundred people responded, pulled out their swords and rushed towards the village.

Wang Ji was detained and could not move. Seeing that Cheng Yao was not bluffing and really wanted to lead troops into the village, he couldn't help but roared anxiously: "Are you crazy? Are you going to slaughter the entire village? If you really dare, no one in the world will tolerate you, and you will die without a place to bury!"

Cheng Yao turned a deaf ear and took the people straight into the village.

People at the entrance of the village, look at me, look at you, faced with the fierce official army, he kept retreating, and no one dared to take the initiative to attack the official army.

"Everyone put down his weapons, otherwise he will kill him!" A squad came forward and shouted loudly.

The villagers were afraid and kept retreating, but no one put down their weapons, but instead they held them even more deadly.

"Charge!" Cheng Yao followed and ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, a team of shield soldiers, holding their shields and pounding them with long swords, and their steps were neat and approaching quickly.

It seemed that no one was leading the way, and no one dared to speak, and they kept retreating.

Seeing this, Cheng Yao searched among these people, hoping to find a leader.

Soon, the villagers holding the swords were dispersed, and the officials began to rush in and arrest people, and began to search from house to house, and beat people when caught and interrogate them.

Cheng Yao and his people came straight to the ancestral hall.

Wang Ji's face was already scared. He woke up. The government army was not scaring him, but he really had the cruel intention to kill people!

His expression was pale, his eyes changed, and he dodged.

Not long after, a group of people were tied up and escorted.

A troupe stepped forward and said, "Zhudu, the clan elders of their village have been arrested. According to one of the instructions, the three people ran away at night and were not in the village."

There were three old men, each of whom was frightened and trembled. They didn't dare to say a word, and looked at Wang Ji who was being held on the ground aside.

Cheng Yao noticed it keenly, looked at Wang Ji, and sneered: "It's you! I just said that these clan elders who are busy waiting to die can do such a shocking thing! Do you say it yourself, or will you confess after I use torture?"

Wang Ji tried his best to keep calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Cheng Yao sat on the chair with a disdainful look on his face and said, "I once followed the official to fight against Xia Manzi. There were many Han people there who were their dogs and horses. At first, they were loyal and brave, and they didn't say anything. I just put the torture instruments, and they told them clearly the details of eavesdropping on his parents' sexual intercourse... I think people like you are not that kind of hard bone, and I can't bear to eat and use torture. In just a few strokes, they can do anything. Don't look at me like this, you are such a person."

Before Cheng Yao finished speaking, several soldiers took out a bunch of torture instruments.

They have torture instruments in their army, but they are definitely not as complete as in the prison, and they are all simple and easy to carry.

Among them, there are sticks.

With a bang, it threw it on Wang Ji's face.

Wang Ji shook his head hard, and then looked at the pinch stick that was landing beside him, his face changed, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Cheng Yao was not in a hurry, turned his head and took a piece of incense, lit it, and said, "Don't stop this incense that is not destroyed."

"yes!"

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, untied Wang Ji, pressed him tightly on the ground, and then stuffed his hands and fingers into the clamping stick.

"ah……"

After a sudden attack, Wang Ji screamed, and his head was covered in cold sweat.

"I am a Jinshi and have been admitted to the government. I can't be punished as a doctor. You can't torture me...ahhhh..."

Wang Ji screamed and argued loudly.

Cheng Yao ignored it at all and looked at the three clan elders.
Chapter completed!
