Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Wang Hua escorted all the members of the Du family back to the security team in an orderly manner, and took away all the food, property, and guns collected from the Du Mansion.

In the security group's base, Wang Hua hurriedly came to Su Zhengyang, saluted and said, "Report to the group leader! The Du family has a total of 37 people, and they have all been brought back to the security group. During the search of the Du family, we encountered fierce resistance from the Du family guards. Our battalion killed 17 people, seriously injured 9 people, and the rest all surrendered!"

"The Du family's large amount of food and property has been transported back to the security team in batches."

Su Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction, patted Wang Hua on the shoulder and said, "Well done. Are there any casualties among our soldiers?"

"There are only two soldiers who were slightly injured and have been sent to the infirmary for treatment!"

In the security corps cell, Du Yuxin's daughter, concubine and immediate family members were detained roughly by the soldiers.

In the innermost cell, Wu Dehou was still talking to Du Yuxin. Hearing the noise, the two of them looked out through the gap in the fence.

Seeing the people of the Du family being sent to the prison cells crying for their parents, Du Yuxin shouted in surprise: "Sanniang, why are you also locked up?"

Du Yuxin's favorite third concubine cried, "Master, the security team suddenly attacked the Du family, killed many of our guards, arrested all the family members, and took away all our property and food."

Du Yuxin's head buzzed, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted. He never thought that Su Zhengyang would be so bold as to attack the entire Du family directly.

Wu Dehou also yelled hysterically: "Su Zhengyang! You bastard, I won't let you go!"

Liu Chenggui, who was in charge of guarding the cell, walked up to Wu Dehou and sneered, "You've already been locked up in the cell, but you're still not being honest. You dare to scold our head. I'm telling you, your Du family, the scourge of Sanjiang County, is completely finished. Be quiet! Otherwise, I'll make you pay."

The next morning, Su Zhengyang brought a battalion of soldiers and escorted the entire Du family to the county town.

It was the familiar Caishikou again. The people gathered here in high spirits, looking at Du Yuxin, who was kneeling on the stands with disheveled hair, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"Why are all the people from the Du family here? Do the security team dare to touch even the people from the Du family?"

"You haven't heard yet. The second son of the Du family brought people to the home of a security soldier to cause trouble. He wanted to forcibly take the girl away from the family. This angered Captain Su. Captain Su sent troops into the city last night and wiped out the entire Du family. There were gunshots on Liulin Street for a long time last night."

"Captain Su is such a good man. The Du family is the local tyrant of Sanjiang County. They can bully anyone they want. The old man of the Liu family was such a good man, but he was arrested by Wu Dehou and taken to the police station. He was tortured into confessing, and his property was taken away. He was also forced to death."

"With Captain Su on our side, these landlords and gentry will never dare to bully anyone in Sanjiang County again."

Also located on Liulin Street, not far from the Du family, in the Ma Mansion compound, Ma Jiawei was sitting in the main hall with cold sweat on his forehead. His hands were shaking like a sieve and he could hardly hold the teacup in his hands. Even the Du family, which was more powerful than the Ma family, was raided by the security team. The Ma family would probably not have a good ending either.

In fact, Ma Jiawei, who had witnessed the tragic plight of the Du family last night, had already reacted and was ready to pack up his belongings and flee with his family overnight. However, Su Zhengyang was well prepared and sent soldiers from the second battalion to block the two city gates of Sanjiang County, allowing only entry but not exit. Faced with the black muzzles of guns at the city gates and the security soldiers who were on high alert, Ma Jiawei had no choice but to retreat.

Amid the enthusiastic applause of the people, Su Zhengyang walked up to the stands with his hands raised and his chest puffed out, holding a loud speaker and shouting, "Fellow villagers, I am the head of the county security team, Su Zhengyang. Just yesterday, Du Xiaofeng from the Du family led people to forcibly take the family members of our security team soldiers away from their homes, and then led people to attack the security team with guns. The entire Du family had a bad attitude and demanded that I release Du Xiaofeng. Therefore, I decided to uproot the entire Du family and help the villagers eradicate a scourge."

"During the days since I came to Sanjiang County, I have heard that the Du family is rich but heartless and cruel to the people. I don't know how many families have been separated from their wives. I was planning to wait for the security team to develop for a period of time before cleaning up these cancerous tumors, but I didn't expect that they would run into the gun themselves. Fellow villagers, what do you think, should these unscrupulous landlords who exploit the people be killed?"

"Kill! Well done, Captain Su!"

"Kill them! I don't know how many evil things the Du family has done. It's because they have guns that we dare not resist. Now we have Captain Su to make the decision for us. We must not let them go!"

A pale-faced young man with disheveled hair and wearing a tattered jacket was kneeling on the ground crying loudly.

"Dad, Mom! God has a good eye. Finally, a great judge has come to deal with the Du family. Your spirits in heaven can rest in peace now."

Su Zhengyang felt a little uncomfortable watching the crying hysterical boy. After a moment, he spoke again: "In Sanjiang County, besides the Du family, I know there is also the Ma family represented by the county magistrate Ma Jiawei, and the Guo family who opened the Guo's Business. These three families are called the three evils by our fellow villagers and are a disaster to the area. Today, our security team will deal with these three families together and restore a bright and clear sky to our Sanjiang County!"

"Okay, Captain Su, the Ma family has done no less evil than the Du family."

"And the Guo family, during the drought, forced us to buy their expensive grain, and even teamed up with their thugs to go to nearby villages and towns to rob the people's stored grain. They are no different from bandits!"

"Wang Hua!"

"To!"

"Immediately arrange the soldiers, divide them into two groups, and capture all the people from the Ma family and the Guo family. Today I will catch all the landlords and gentry who oppress the people in Sanjiang County in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, leader!"

Under the leadership of the company commander, the soldiers from the second and third companies gathered together and split into two groups, heading towards the Ma and Guo families.

The people stayed where they were in high spirits, their eyes full of anticipation. As time went by, more and more people gathered, and the entire Caishikou was packed with people.

Half an hour later, Guo Zhikai, the head of the Guo family, his two sons, and the direct descendants of the family were all taken to the Caishikou. On the other side, the people of the Ma family, including the county magistrate Ma Jiawei, were all arrested. The 30-meter square stands were already full of people kneeling, trembling all over, looking at Su Zhengyang and the soldiers of the security regiment in panic.
