Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong, especially Hong Zhong's cultivation level, are well known. Even they were killed by Zu An, so how could others be their match?
Moreover, Zaun specifically announced that he would not pursue the responsibility of others.
So their peripheral members started throwing their weapons on the ground.
Once someone takes the lead, more and more people will start throwing things away.
In the end, even their core confidants resigned themselves to their fate, throwing their weapons to the ground and surrendering.
Seeing the situation before him, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. If these people really resisted to the end, it would be quite troublesome.
After all, he didn't kill Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng; he didn't have the ability to suppress the entire situation like that.
He then reinstated the guards to their previous positions and put them back in their original roles.
He also remembered that during the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Yun used a beauty trap to kill Dong Zhuo and then ruthlessly exterminated the Xiliang army, which led to the desperate Xiliang army rebelling and completely crushing the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he did not treat Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng, his former subordinates, in any special way.
However, the pledge of loyalty still needs to be made; Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng's families need to be brought under control until Qin Wanru returns before dealing with them.
We were just worried about not having enough manpower, so we sent this group of people, which can be considered a complete break with the past.
A group of people were eager to atone for their crimes and quickly took control of the relatives of the second branch of the family.
Surprisingly, Chu Hongcai was imprisoned by Chu Tiesheng's men. According to people around him, he had always opposed Chu Tiesheng's rebellion, so he was imprisoned after the father and son turned against each other.
Despite their falling out, Chu Tiesheng was still his father. Upon learning that his father had been killed by Zu An, he still sought revenge against Zu An with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing the anger level of 999 constantly rising in the background, Zuan felt no joy at all.
The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, so Chu Hongcai's reaction was perfectly normal.
The most rational choice would have been to eliminate him completely, but the two had gotten along well on several occasions and could be considered friends; moreover, Chu Hongcai had openly opposed Chu Tiesheng's rebellion, and his character was admirable. Therefore, Zu An could not bring himself to be ruthless and could only have someone take him away and keep him under close watch.
On the other hand, Hong Zhong was all alone, except for his son Hong Xingying. But it was Hong Xingying who seemed to have received advance notice, and by the time the people who were to arrest him arrived, the place was already deserted.

I drove all day and was so sleepy. Towards the end, I was worried I'd accidentally fall asleep. I managed to write one chapter, but I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to sleep now and will try to finish it tomorrow.
