Zheng Hong was shocked when he heard that something big had happened. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the courtyard gate behind him, then glared at his confidant, "Keep your voice down! Don't disturb your rest!"
The confidant also subconsciously glanced at the gate of the courtyard, wondering who the distinguished person in the courtyard was that made the captain so concerned.
Naturally, he didn't dare to ask, and Zheng Hong wouldn't give him an explanation.
He just waved at him, pulled him aside, and asked him, "Tell me what happened? Where did it happen?"
"City Gate Office, no, there's also the County Magistrate's Office!"
The confidant did not dare to neglect and replied quickly.
But Zheng Hong couldn't help but frown when he heard this. "Tell me clearly, is it the City Gate Office or the County Magistrate's Office? And tell me exactly what happened. If you keep hesitating, be careful that this captain will beat you with a military stick!"
When the confidant heard that he was going to be beaten with a military stick, his face changed and he said quickly: "Captain, please forgive me. It's not that I didn't explain clearly, but there are incidents in these two places.
This is what happened…”
The confidant explained everything in detail: "First, a brother from the East City Gate reported that those ungrateful natives tried to escape after being frightened by His Highness the Seventh Prince. So His Highness dispatched us to ambush them at the city gate..."
"Wait a minute, who told you to obey the orders of His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Zheng Hong couldn't help but interrupt him halfway through and asked angrily.
The confidant looked bewildered and said, "Captain, didn't you say that we should obey the orders of His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
"Nonsense! I told you guys to obey his orders, but I didn't tell everyone in the Duwei Mansion to obey his orders. You...!"
Zheng Hong tapped his finger in frustration, then asked, "How many of you went, and what was the result?"
Seeing his grim expression, the confidant felt a little frightened and could not help but stammer, "We have some people there..."
“How much is some?”
Zheng Hong couldn't help but raise his voice. Halfway through his speech, he turned around and looked at the gate.
Just now, Zhao He told him not to worry about Zhao Dang and not to deal with him. But now, before he could even turn around, all his men were dispatched by Zhao Dang to ambush the natives.
Seeing that his confidant didn't dare to speak, he knew that a lot of people must have been mobilized. He couldn't help but glare at the confidant again, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Then he asked again, "What's the result? Did His Highness the Seventh Prince get what he wanted?"
Seeing that he didn't punish them immediately, his confidant breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "No, those natives didn't seem to have anything on them, but we did capture a few of them."
"Only a few were caught?"
Zheng Hong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, "You guys went there and only caught a few people?"
"No, it's because the natives resisted so fiercely that it was difficult to capture a few alive..."
The subordinate said somewhat angrily.
Zheng Hong's expression changed involuntarily. "The resistance was too fierce. We only caught a few alive? What about the rest of the natives..."
The subordinate nodded and added, "His Highness the Seventh Prince said to kill without mercy!"
Zheng Hong took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Just play around, this is going to be a big trouble!"
He immediately asked again: "What about the old man in Hangjiabao? Are his son and granddaughter alive or dead?"
"That woman caught the one alive, but didn't pay attention to the others!"
The confidant thought for a moment and replied.
He obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
In his opinion, they were just natives, no big deal.
Zheng Hong's face turned pale with anger, and he raised his foot and kicked, "You bunch of idiots, you are annoying me. Have you forgotten how many natives there are in the Great Wilderness Mountain?
If those people rebel, your whole family will be killed!"
Because he was so angry, he even forgot to ask what happened at the county magistrate's office.
At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. He turned around and went back to the courtyard, thought about it, and then knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
…
"Something really bad has happened!"
Zheng Hong forgot to ask what happened in the county magistrate's office because he was too busy to take care of it.
But at the same time, the county magistrate's office had already learned about the "good deeds" that Zhao Dang had done.
After hearing about the situation, Zhang Yuan and others couldn't help but change their expressions.
Zhao Xin even kicked over the tables in front of him.
They had planned and calculated everything, but they had never expected that Zhao Dang would do such a stupid thing.
"Stupid, stupid!"
Zhao Xin paced back and forth rapidly in frustration.
Then he turned to Zhang Yuan and the others and asked, "How many people have we gathered? Are there any officials in the county who haven't arrived yet?"
When everyone heard his question, their expressions changed slightly, and several officials who had just been subdued were even more silent.
When they received Zhang Yuan’s summons, they just thought they should come here to deal with it so that they would have a way to retreat when the time comes.
If the King of Qi's army arrives, they can also push Zhang Yuan out and sell him out.
But what they didn't expect was that when they entered the meeting room of the county governor's mansion, the first person they saw was the official Lin, but he was placed on the table and had only one head.
Then they saw Zhang Yuan and the young man sitting in the main seat.
After knowing the identity of the young man, they immediately realized that once they stepped into the gate of the county magistrate's mansion today, it would not be so easy to step out.
In addition, with Lin Changli's head on the line, most of them didn't think much about it and immediately backed down.
There were two people who still wanted to resist, but they were quickly put together with Lin Changli.
Zhao Xin had no intention of winning over these people's hearts, and simply suppressed them with force.
