"Okay!" Xiao Yunzhan stood up immediately, "I will lead the troops to raid now."
"Let's go together."
A moment later, the three brothers Xiao Yunzhan, Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Yunchao led three teams and headed straight towards the northwest.
In order to prevent Jiang Hai from escaping in the chaos, they decided to encircle him from three directions.
.....
Jia Mansion---
“Knock knock knock!”
Jia Zuozhen bent down and stood at the door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then called out cautiously,
"Master Jiang!"
Jia Zuozhen shouted for half a minute before he heard footsteps coming from the house.
"Squeaky~"
Jiang Hai opened the door with a dark face, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my rest?"
Jia Zuozhen smelled the earthy smell on Jiang Hai and frowned slightly.
"I got the news that the rebels are ransacking every house..."
"There's fire everywhere outside. They should be able to search here soon."
The rebels captured Guangfeng City in the afternoon and immediately blocked the entire city, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
Jiang Hai frowned and glanced over the wall.
There was clearly a flickering fire outside, and the scorching flames made him feel very anxious.
Listening to the increasingly noisy noises outside, Jiang Hai's breathing became noticeably faster.
He looked gloomy and glared at Jia Zuozhen.
"You know what to say, don't you?"
When Jia Zuozhen met Jiang Hai's eyes, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, as if someone was strangling his fate.
"I've never met Lord Jiang before."
Jia Zuozhen spoke with a grunt under Jiang Hai's threatening gaze.
Jiang Hai's eyes dimmed slightly.
"When the rebels are annihilated, I will definitely support the Jia family."
"Thank you---thank you, Lord Jiang." Jia Zuozhen didn't dare to breathe and stood trembling at the door.
What's the point of promoting him? It's good enough if you don't cheat him.
Encountering this group of corrupt officials who take bribes and extort money is really the end of the Jia family.
Jiang Hai snorted coldly, "Now, go and call all the officials in the Jia Mansion here immediately."
"Then release the Jia family's servants from the back room and let them return to normal."
"I believe you should know how to explain this to the servants of the Jia family."
"...Yes." Jia Zuozhen swallowed his saliva, "Master Jiang has already left the Jia Mansion with his family. No one is allowed to say that Master Jiang has been to the Jia Mansion."
Jiang Hai stared at Jia Zuozhen and said, "The future of the Jia family depends on you."
"Do it quickly."
Jiang Hai watched Jia Zuozhen bend his waist and run out in an S-shaped pattern. He glanced at the flickering fire outside and immediately closed the door and went back into the house.
“Faster!!”
Jiang Hai's slightly anxious voice came faintly from the room.
He didn't expect the Xiao family to be so impatient and start ransacking the property as soon as they took over Guangfeng City.
It seems that the Xiao family has so many soldiers and is short of money and food, so they are so eager to confiscate their property.
Jiang Hai watched the yamen runners digging the tunnel and kept urging them.
This was his mistake. He should have dug the tunnel earlier so that he could evacuate at any time.
Soon, all the yamen runners and guards stationed at various places in the Jia Mansion went to Jiang Hai's yard...
Jia Zuozhen, along with a group of trembling servants, ran towards the gate with a nervous look on his face.
"Open the door!"
Xiao Yunhao stood at the gate of the Jia Mansion with a group of soldiers.
Hearing the hurried footsteps coming from the Jia Mansion, he frowned slightly.
In the northwest area of Guangfeng City, he has already captured three officials from Guangfeng City.
Two associate magistrates and one legal advisor.
None of these people knew where Jiang Hai lived.
They only said that if anything happened in Jianghai, they would send yamen runners to notify them.
There was a creaking sound, and after the heavy door opened, Jia Zuozhen lowered his head and shouted nervously,
"Sir---Sir!"
Xiao Yunhao walked towards Jia Zuozhen.
"look up!"
Jia Zuozhen shuddered all over and raised his head nervously.
Xiao Yunhao looked at Jia Zuozhen's eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets and said coldly,
"Where is Jiang Hai!?"
“.....Jiang...Jiang Hai..."
Jia Zuozhen looked at Xiao Yunhao, whose face was filled with murderous intent, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "Sir, please spare my life. I have never seen Jianghai before."
"I'm just a small merchant. I wouldn't dare to hide a member of an official's family..."
When saying this, Jia Zuozhen looked towards the yard where Jiang Hai lived and cried, his whole body shaking.
Xiao Yunhao followed Jia Zuozhen's gaze and waved his hand.
"Go search!"
With a loud noise, the soldiers holding torches surrounding the gate of the Jia Mansion rushed towards the Jia Mansion.
