    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 912

    Luo County, Ming'an Prefecture, post station.

    The Qinghe Army has established a complete system of post stations in the controlled area to facilitate the delivery of official documents and transportation of materials.

    The post station not only has courtyard houses for people to live in, but also has supporting facilities such as medical halls and stables.

    After Chen Ziang led the triumphant army northward to return to the base camp and arrived at Luo County, the army set up camp outside the city, and Chen Ziang also lived in the post station outside the city.

    It's already winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Although the tents in the barracks are windproof, they are not warm enough. The post station has complete supporting facilities, and it is much more comfortable to live in.

    Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang also had to receive local officials and condolences to the people. Naturally, it was inconvenient for the military camp to be located in an important place, so the post station became Chen Ziang's foothold.

    Chen Ziang encountered someone in Liujiawan bullying military family members and issuing usury loans, and after learning about the situation in Luo County, he also decided to deal with this matter.

    After Chen Zi'ang sent the ashes of several dead brothers back to their homes, he returned to the post station and asked Cao Shaowei of the Military Justice Division to investigate the matter.

    Now that Chen Zi'ang is the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, he has become much calmer in his speech and deeds, and naturally he will not deny a certain person based on one-sided words.

    Cao Shaowei, director of the Military Judiciary Department, also serves as the chief of the Military Judiciary, and it is not overstepping to ask him to investigate the matter of someone bullying the military family.

    Cao Shaowei has always acted in a low-key manner. After receiving Chen Ziang's order, he quickly launched a detailed secret investigation into the matter.

    On the one hand, he sent people to conduct strict interrogations on the men in green clothes they captured, and at the same time sent people to investigate and collect relevant information.

    When night fell, Cao Shaowei, the chief of military law in a black cloak, entered the small courtyard where Chen Ziang was resting at the post station.

    "Do you have any clues?"

    Chen Ziang was drafting an order on the transfer of trainee officers from the Zhanzheng College to the temporary flag regiment for training. When he saw Cao Shaowei, Chief of Military Law, enter the room, he also stopped his work.

    "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, after our interrogation, the man in Tsing Yi we captured is Wang Chuan, who is a distant relative of Wu Chong, deputy governor of the Luo County Government Affairs Office."

    "At the beginning, he was very stubborn, but after we used some methods, he confessed everything."

    "Currently, 80% of the gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, cloth houses and other industries in Luo County are under the name of Wu Chong, Deputy Chief of Administration."

    "Wang Chuan is just the person in charge of releasing money. At the same time, there are many people who help Wu Chong manage other industries."

    "Furthermore, according to Wang Chuan's account, Wu Chong also built several luxurious manors in the suburbs of Luo County, raising more than 200 family soldiers. Wu Chong also owns more than 2,000 acres of fertile land in Luo County."

    After hearing Cao Shaowei's report, Chen Ziang couldn't help but frowned.

    You must know that the Qinghe Army has implemented a new policy in the controlled area and has promulgated regulations, that is, to distribute all the land to the people in order to win the support of the people.

    But now the Deputy Chief of Administration of Guangwu County occupies more than 2,000 acres of fertile land alone, and also raises more than 200 soldiers, which has violated the regulations of the Qinghe Army.

    Most importantly, Wu County's Deputy Chief of Administration actually controls 80% of the gambling houses, brothels, cloth houses and other industries in Wu County.

    "Hmph, I didn't expect Wu Chong to be really capable."

    Chen Ziang also never imagined that his new policy defeated a group of squires who were fish and meat, and now such moths appeared in his camp.

    If there are a large number of such people under the rule of the Qinghe Army, then they will not only tarnish the reputation of the Qinghe Army, but also destroy the foundation of the Qinghe Army's survival.

    "After our open and unannounced visits, the common people know all about Wu Chong, but they dare not speak out because of Wu Chong's power."

    "And I also learned from Wang Chuankou, who was captured by us, that someone tried to go to Yunxi Mansion to sue Wu Chong, but was intercepted and killed by Wu Chong's men. Since then, no one has dared to fight against Wu Chong.  Wu Chong did it right."

    Chen Ziang didn't expect that Wu Chong, a small Deputy Chief of Administrative Affairs, would cover the sky here with one hand, and an unknown anger burst into his heart.

    "Go and bring Zheng Yuan, Chief of Administration of Wu County, and Wu Chong, Deputy Chief of Administration, and I will interrogate them personally."

    After Chen Ziang accidentally discovered these things in Wu County, he also decided to stay in Wu County temporarily to deal with the things here.

    Although these things are?It¡¯s just a trivial matter for him, but he knows that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest.

    The Qinghe Army is now on the rise, and the victories at the front cover up their internal flaws.

    Now that he has discovered it, he has to start to solve it. If the conflicts pile up, the more the Qinghe Army develops and grows, the more it will stumble in the future.

    After receiving Chen Ziang's order, Cao Shaowei, chief of the military law, quickly took a team of military police to the county seat of Luo County.

    At this moment, in the mansion of the deputy chief of the county seat in Luo County, Wu Chong was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

    Because he had just returned from the military-civilian gala and received a report from his subordinates that Wang Chuan and a few others had disappeared while they were going to collect money.

    Luo County is Wu Chong's territory, and now that Chen Ziang has arrived here, Wu Chong is always on guard.

    Because he knew that once Chen Ziang found out about what he had done, it would be hard for him to do good, so he sent people to watch everywhere.

    Now that his subordinates are missing, he is naturally facing an enemy, so he sent people to find out the news.

    However, Wang Chuan and others seemed to have evaporated from the world. Wu Chong sent several waves of people but failed to find Wang Chuan and others.

    "Could it be that Wang Chuan and the others hid somewhere to drink?"

    There were no traces of Wang Chuan and others anywhere. Some people suspected that they were drinking and having fun somewhere. After all, this was one of Wang Chuan's hobbies.

    "The commander-in-chief is in our Luo county now, and nothing can go wrong at this time, otherwise you and I will be finished, so send someone to find this bastard!"

    The sudden disappearance of Wang Chuan and others made Wu Chong a little upset, so he ordered his subordinates to send more people to look for them.

    "My lord, my lord, there is a team of soldiers outside!"

    At this moment, a servant rushed to report to Wu Chong, Deputy Chief of Political Affairs.

    After Wu Chong heard this, he was also shocked. Could it be that his affairs were exposed?

    "Who is leading the team?" Wu Chong asked hastily.

    Jia Ding said: "I don't know."

    "Go and stop them, just say I'm not in the mansion."

    Wu Chong realized that something was wrong, and when he ordered his men to stop him, he also turned around and walked towards the back door.

    But when Wu Chong opened the back door, there was a flash of torches in front of him, and a group of stern-faced military police had already blocked the back door of the mansion.

    Wu Chong wanted to retreat into the house, but was restrained by two military policemen who stepped forward quickly.

    "You are Wu Chong, right?"

    A gendarmerie officer looked at Wu Chong's Tsing Yi official uniform and asked.

    "I'm Wu Chong, Deputy Chief of Affairs of Wu County, what are you doing! Why are you roughing me?!"

    Facing two gendarmes who were holding him up, Wu Chong also showed his identity while struggling, trying to deter the gendarmes.

    However, these gendarmes belong to the Military Justice Department and are directly responsible to Cao Shaowei and Chen Ziang, the Chief Military Justice. They will not be afraid of the local Deputy Chief of Administration.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
