Chapter 34 Siege
After everything was arranged, Xu Haifeng turned around and said to Zeng Zhihong: "I have something to do, so please forgive me."
Zeng Zhihong was quietly posted here for a long time. Although he knew that he was a brotherly love, it was the first time he met someone who did not take him seriously. He sneered: "The general really values love and friendship. It's a pity that my brother committed a murder case. Even if he was intact as before, it would be useless."
Xu Haifeng heard what he said viciously, and his murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Sir, if you kill an ordinary person, you will naturally have to pay for your life. But if you kill a thief, then not only will you be fine, but you will be rewarded."
"What do you mean?" Zeng Zhihong thought about it and felt something in the other person's words. A terrible thought flashed in his heart.
"It's nothing. Didn't you ask me where the thief is? I'll take the thief to catch me now." After Xu Haifeng said that, he ordered the whole team to set off and walk towards the west of the city.
When he was instructing the two doctors, he had already brought his father in charge. Xu's father had also visited the Zhang family for this matter. Of course, he was the one who led the way.
The west of the city is the wealthy area of Cangzhou City. Those who can settle down there are all well-known figures in Cangzhou City, including wealthy businessmen and officials who retire and return home. On weekdays, even officials usually dare not go there to catch people, for fear that they have offended some big shots by accident and are difficult to deal with.
The Zhang family is one of the aristocratic families with a century-old history in Cangzhou. From the vast land occupied by the Zhang family in the west of the city, we know that their strength is one of the best families in Cangzhou City. The current family advocates Yihe, who is brave and has been in the shopping mall for decades and enjoys a high prestige. The three sons are also the most outstanding among the people, and they can be said to be successors. The only misfortune is that a few days ago, the three sons were murdered and died tragically for no reason. Zhang Yihe suffered the pain of losing his son and was deeply hit. He seemed to have become ten years old.
In his years of thinking, the third son was the most understanding and filial son. This time he bought the treasure for his mother's fiftieth birthday. The hateful mud legs dared to kill such a filial child. This matter must not be abandoned. Not only did he die without a burial place, but even his family could not let him go. I heard that he had a son, so he would arrange for someone to kill the little bastard tomorrow and tell him the news to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Zhang Yihe was still thinking about how to take revenge, but suddenly a servant came to avenge him. There was a major change in the city. He didn't know that the matter was related to him. He thought it was a mutiny or something, so he immediately ordered all the servants to pick up their weapons and guard the courtyard. No room in the family was allowed to go out. In this time of chaos, unity and self-reliance were the right thing to do.
However, not long after, the servants came to report again and found that many troops appeared outside the yard and had already surrounded the Zhang family. Zhang Yihe shuddered. After thinking about it, he still couldn't remember who he had offended. The officials in the city did not have a shortage of filial piety every month. People who do business are most afraid of the people on the official side. He is very concerned about this and has never made any mistakes. He has doubts about this and did not immediately evacuate his family. After 10% of the Black Flag Army encirclement, it is too late to think about what to do.
Under the command of Zhebe, the Black Flag Army quickly completed the layers of siege of the Zhang family, and Xu Haifeng asked someone to send his father back first. Xu's father had vaguely guessed what his younger son wanted to do, but at this moment he was stunned by the earth-shaking changes of his younger son. He felt a little afraid of his son, but he didn't dare to disobey his wishes and went back to take care of his eldest son.
Looking at the high door and large valve in front of him, Xu Haifeng felt a strong sense of destruction emerged from his heart, and he wanted to smash everything here to pieces before he could be willing to do so.
"Qin Yong, open the door for me." Xu Haifeng said with a dry lips.
"Yes, General." Smashing the door has always been Qin Yong's biggest hobby, but the door in front of him was too narrow. He, the Great Warrior of Qin, smashed the door of Lin'an City and Cangzhou City, but he had never smashed other people's doors. He saw a copper lion smashing over, and the iron-clad door immediately split into pieces, and even the door frame was broken.
Zhang Yihe, who had arrived at the front of the main gate, was startled by the loud noise. He was finally sure that the group of people was really coming for the Zhang family. Then, he saw several men entering in one by one, one of them was the prefect Zeng Zhihong.
He had seen the world in his entire life. Although he was uneasy in his heart, his face still seemed to be nothing. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mr. Zeng, I'm here in the humble house, I don't know what to do."
Zeng Zhihong bowed and said, "Zhang Yuanwai, let me introduce you. This is General Xu Haifeng, the leader of the Black Flag Army, who is famous all over the world." As he said that, he turned his back to Xu Haifeng blocked his sight and kept winking Zhang Yihe.
Zhang Yihe was stunned and could not guess what Zeng Zhihong meant, but looking at his appearance, it didn't seem to be a good thing. As for the Black Flag Army, it has been so well-known over the past few months, and it's hard to know it. But this general is a little too young. What is his name? Xu Haifeng - Zhang Yihe suddenly understood Zeng Zhihong's meaning. He clearly remembered that the murderer who killed his son was Xu Haitian, and Xu Haifeng was only one word different from him. Both idiots knew about the relationship between the two.
"I've seen General Xu." Unexpectedly, he was caught off guard. Zhang Yihe's eyes rolled and immediately decided to swallow his anger today and never have to confront him head-on. After today, he must mobilize the power of the entire family to deal with him to the end.
Xu Haifeng waved his hand carelessly and said, "No need, the surname Zhang, you have posted your affairs. If you don't want to suffer from flesh and blood, just confess honestly."
Zhang Yihe's eyebrows trembled unconsciously. Since he took over the Zhang family, no one dared to talk to him in this tone. His expression seemed as if he was a prisoner. But he was extremely cunning. Although he was extremely angry, his face became more and more smiling: "General Xu was joking. I have always been obedient and obedient. How could I do anything illegal or disorderly?"
Xu Haifeng sneered: "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. If you don't tear you up, you will definitely not be able to do anything."
Zeng Zhihong heard Xu Haifeng’s tone was wrong and hurriedly said, “General Xu, Mr. Zhang is a kind and generous person. He will not do anything that harms the world.”
Xu Haifeng was very angry after hearing this and was about to get angry when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Listen, the person inside is Chen Xinhong, the garrison of Cangzhou. Now you are surrounded, quickly put down your weapons and surrender."
Zhang Yihe was overjoyed and smiled and said, "It turns out that General Chen has arrived. We should be able to uphold justice for the people and others."
Zeng Zhihong looked at Xu Haifeng with expressionless face, but he was not optimistic. Although Chen Xinhong's army was large in number, if he really wanted to fight, how could he win the Black Flag Army, which was recently famous for the Han Dynasty? Sure enough, Xu Haifeng spat disdainfully and said, "Which monkey is clamoring outside is annoying? Qin Yong, you and Andrew and others go and pull the owner of the voice in. Be careful all the way, don't take too much action. Don't kill anyone who can't kill it."
"Yes..." Qin Yong, Andrew and others took the order and left. After a while, they heard the crowds of people outside the walls and screams endlessly. After a meal, they turned around smoothly, and Qin Yong had a fully armed general under his armpit. When Zhang Yihe saw it, his face immediately became extremely ugly. Isn't this Chen Xinhong he was counting on? Why did he become a prisoner in a blink of an eye?
Qin Yong threw Chen Xinhong to the ground and said, "General, the mission is completed."
Chen Xinhong was dizzy and excited by the fall. It took him a while to wake up. His eyes looked at Qin Yong and others full of fear.
He commanded the team to set up half an encirclement behind the Black Flag Army, thinking that it would form a certain deterrent force. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, four big men rushed out of the Zhang Mansion. Looking at their aggressive appearance, they knew that there was nothing good. Chen Xinhong ordered the arrow to be shot, but unexpectedly, these people had unique skills. The giant looked at the bow and arrow as if nothing had happened, and rushed up as if no one was around. All the bow and arrow shot on him, and except for carrying a few pieces of rags, it was useless.
The remaining three people are not simple. They waved a dark soft sword and used the terrain to speed three points faster than Qin Yong. The three of them made ruthless moves, basically holding their throats with one sword, and did not show any mercy because they were friendly forces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xinhong quickly mobilized people to stop them for a moment. But the three Andrew brothers were too fast and rushed to the front before he could make the arrangements. The three of them were extremely weird in martial arts. When they took action, they were unable to defend themselves. Just after a meeting, they captured Chen Xinhong alive.
If Chen Xinhong's five thousand men were lined up in an open space, then apart from Qin Yong, the Andrew brothers were twice as powerful as they were, so they could not break out of the siege so easily. However, this was Cangzhou City, with walls and paths everywhere, so how could they expand the formation? They barely arranged a fan shape of the four-elephant, but they were broken by someone.
"Hehe, General Chen, I wonder what to do?" Xu Haifeng looked at Chen Xinhong in a mess and said with a mocking smile.
"You... you attacked Cangzhou City without authorization and threatened to hold the imperial court's official position. What crime should you be punished?" Chen Xinhong shouted with a fierce look on his face.
"Hold the imperial court?" Xu Haifeng frowned and said, "General Chen, you are a little harsh. I want you to come here just to give you a testimony. There is nothing else to ask for."
Chen Xinhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What testimony?" He did not realize that when he said this, his tone had softened, and he had the idea of not daring to be an enemy of Xu Haifeng.
