Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153 Surrounding the County Government
The seven major salt merchants moved quickly.

They asked the prefects of the counties to help them.

These aristocratic families, united, are a huge force, putting pressure on them, forcing them to close Zhang Ming's shop selling salted fish, and prevent Zhang Ming's salted fish from entering.

There are seven major salt merchants standing in front of them, and these eunuchs will get fat.

The reason is simple, these eunuchs are also having a hard time, how can they be reconciled when Zhang Ming robbed them of their salt tax.

As a result, all the counties began to seal off Zhang Ming's shops, and set up cards to stop their salted fish, preventing them from entering the country.

The difference is that some counties have implemented it more thoroughly, and some counties have not implemented it so strongly.

However, no one dared to confiscate Zhang Ming's salted fish easily, at most they would not allow them to be sold.

Zhang Ming was still on his way, and his scouts came to report.

"Report to the lord, our salted fish has been confiscated."

Zhang Ming was still in Peng Chengguo, but he heard that someone confiscated their salted fish.

"Who is so bold."

The scouts reported in detail that it turned out to be Liu County of Peng Chengguo, who had sent troops to seize the salted fish on a large scale.

"Liu County."

Zhang Ming knew that the entire Peng Chengguo belonged to the Cao family.

Cao Xing, a great salt merchant, is one of the core figures of the Cao family.

In addition, there is another important figure in the Cao family, that is Xuzhou general Cao Bao. Although Cao Bao is not capable, he is also one of the important figures in the late Han Dynasty.

His status in Xuzhou is very high. If it is not for his poor ability, he can even influence the political situation in Xuzhou.

With Cao Bao's backing, Peng Chengguo did a great job. Not only did he not let Zhang Ming sell the salted fish, but he also confiscated Zhang Ming's salted fish.

"The whole army, set off for Liu County."

Zhang Ming brought 500 people to the south this time, fifty of them belonged to the special forces, and the rest were ordinary soldiers.

There are a total of 100 special forces, [-] are in Xi Zhicai, and the remaining more than [-] people stay in Liaodong to train recruits.

Zhang Ming led the army and galloped away.

Heading towards Liu County, what is Zhang Ming doing?

Liu County, although the county magistrate is not a member of the Cao family, he relies on the support of the Cao family.

Yesterday, he immediately took action after receiving the news from the Cao family.

The magistrate of Liu County, Wen Tu, was also afraid at first, but when he started to confiscate, Zhang Ming's people were very cooperative and did not resist.

Just move all the salted fish away.

Wentu was also afraid of hurting someone, so it would be difficult to explain clearly.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Zhang Ming and his party rushed to the gate of Liu County, and the defenders stopped them.

Zhang Ming took out his own seal and said, "The governor of Liaodong is here to search for information about immortals. I have received clues about immortals in Liu County. I am here to check."

Zhang Ming has a seal and an imperial decree.

The defenders didn't dare to stop him, but everyone knew that Zhang Ming didn't come here to find any clues from the immortals, but to find fault.

"This Zhang Ming is too arrogant."

A guard said in a low voice.

"Keep your voice down, this is a ruthless person, he dares to provoke even Lord Inspector."

The defenders watched Zhang Ming leave, and no one dared to stop him.

They were just little people, but Zhang Ming dared to spoil Tao Qian's banquet.

"Surround the county government. Anyone can only enter and cannot exit. Anyone who invades will be killed without mercy."

After Zhang Ming entered the city, he immediately rushed to the county government office, and directly sent troops to surround the county government office.

The county government also had guards, but when they saw such a murderous army, they were immediately discouraged.

The county magistrate Wentu received the news and hurried out to check.

"Who are you, why are you surrounding the county government?"

"Are you going to rebel?"

Zhang Ming and the others came so suddenly that the gate guards didn't have time to report to him.

After confirming that the siege was completed, Zhang Ming rode a horse and said to Wentu immediately: "I received news that the county magistrate here is going to rebel, so I will surround it first."

Wentu is about to vomit blood, when will he rebel.

"nonsense."

Wentu was anxious, then pointed to Zhang Ming and said, "This county is Wentu, the county magistrate of Liu County, who are you?"

He even framed him for rebellion, and led troops to surround him.

Can Wentu be in a hurry?
Zhang Ming pointed a gun at him and said, "Zhang Ming, the governor of Liaodong, heard that you were going to rebel, so he surrounded you."

Wentu really wanted to vomit blood this time.

Just sent people to confiscate the salted fish from his family yesterday, the retribution came too fast, Zhang Ming directly sent people to surround them.

"You are talking nonsense, this is Xuzhou, when will it be your turn to take care of it?"

Even if he really wants to rebel, it's not Zhang Ming's turn to deal with it.

"You misunderstood. I didn't come here to arrest people. I was afraid that you would commit suicide or escape, so I sent troops to surround you. I will immediately report to Peng Chengguo's prefect and governor Tao Qian."

Wentu relaxed a little, Zhang Ming didn't dare to do anything to them.

At this time, the prefect also knew that nothing would happen to the prefect, and Tao Qian, the governor, also acquiesced in this matter, and nothing happened at all.

However, Zhang Ming went on to say: "I will also report to the court immediately. Wen Tu takes away the people's fat and anointment, intends to rebel, and waits for the court's ruling."

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not, I'm not."

Wen Tu was in a hurry. If it was resolved in Xuzhou, he would not be afraid at all. The prefect and Tao Qian both knew what was going on and would not do anything to him.

However, Zhang Ming charged him with treason.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the imperial court will take him down first, and it is very difficult to say whether he can pass the test.

If the eunuch is sent to investigate at that time, the eunuch and Zhang Ming are in the same group, and he will be in danger at that time.

"No?"

Zhang Ming sneered and said: "I received a report, you sent troops to forcibly confiscate the property of the people, not because you want to rebel, but what you want to do."

Wentu felt that he was too unlucky at this time. Just as he acted, Zhang Ming came to kill him.

At this moment, Wentu couldn't understand at all.

"You said that sending troops to plunder the wealth of the people is not for rebellion, why?"

Why?

Facing Zhang Ming's questioning, Wentu really wanted to say, Zhang Ming didn't force you.

Wintu couldn't explain clearly now.

"Nonsense, the county just confiscated things belonging to unscrupulous businessmen. This matter was ordered by the prefect."

Wentu couldn't face Zhang Ming by himself, so he could only move the prefect out.

He was sure that Zhang Ming would not dare to do anything to him in Xuzhou.

Zhang Ming ignored Wen Tu and just asked people to spread the news.

He believed that many people would have to weigh his hands if he made a fuss.

In half a day, the news spread wildly.

There were defenders in the county town, but no one came. If they came, they were killed as accomplices, and they would be wronged at that time.

The whole atmosphere became very weird, Zhang Ming came suddenly, no one was prepared.

The news spread to some surrounding counties. The county magistrates of these counties hurriedly returned the salted fish. They didn't dare to do anything until the dust settled.

This Zhang Ming was too tough, he went straight to the door of his house, surrounded him and refused to let him go out, if he really wanted to piss him off, he might just chop him up.
