Chapter 135 The Wang Family’s Disaster

After some hesitation, Wang Jun had no choice but to ask the Wang family for help, hoping that they would deliver a batch of food in advance for emergency use.

The Wang family did not show mercy just because they had the same surname. Even though Wang Jun had a low profile, he was still rejected.

At this time, Wang Jun was completely helpless and had to temporarily stop blood transfusions to the Mercenary Association and send people to thoroughly investigate the recent account books of the Mercenary Association.

Soon, explosive news spread in Chaoyang City that there was no food in the city.

This undoubtedly made the common people feel insecure and began to store grains in unison, causing the prices on the market to continue to rise.

It was from this moment on that the situation in Chaoyang City was gradually out of the control of the Wang Army.

Then more and more negative news broke out.

For example, Zhou Tai used the grain in the granary to participate in the auction with the permission of the city lord, allowed the Wang family to pay in installments, etc. These all aroused dissatisfaction among the people and major forces.

At the same time, things related to Xiao Chan in Peach Blossom Land were also reported. For example, the mercenary association was first proposed by Xiao Chan, but was shamelessly plagiarized by Wang Jun. There was also why Xiao Chan did not appear at the auction. That was because Wang Jun Worried that Xiao Chan would ruin their good deeds.

The news became more and more mysterious as it spread, and the final version was that Wang Jun and Zhou Tai were in cahoots with each other for their own selfish purposes, but they accidentally got away with it.

The content of the news may be true or false, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to see clearly, but all of this has caused panic among the people.

As the situation continued to deteriorate, the first serious accident occurred.

A few gangsters accidentally killed someone in order to steal food, and it happened in broad daylight.

Three hours after the incident, the army entered Chaoyang City and announced that Chaoyang City would temporarily enter military control mode.

Zhan Beizun announced to everyone through the radio that the food in the city would not be cut off, and this calmed down the chaos a little.

Zhan Beizun then gathered the officials of Chaoyang City, large and small, and announced the order from above.

"City Lord Wang, your position as City Lord is temporarily cancelled. You need to go to the superiors in person to explain."

"Everyone else performs their duties. Before the new city lord comes to power, the city must not be in chaos. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Everyone replied.

Zhan Beizun nodded with satisfaction and said: "The most important thing now in Chaoyang City is to solve the food problem. Order the Wang family and Zhou Tai to hand over the food in full within a week, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion."

"General Zhan, does this seem to be against the rules?" an official said with a frown.

"What are the rules? There are problems with their transaction process. We only recognize and welcome legal transactions." Zhan Beizun looked at the official and said with disdain.

Seeing what the other party was going to say, Zhan Beizun said impatiently: "Until the new city lord is sent, I will manage this place. You only need to follow my orders. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong."

The Wang family and Zhou Tai were all confused after receiving the news. They never expected that the situation would develop like this.

Naturally, the Wang family refused to comply, so they began to use various means to delay it.

Zhan Beizun's method was simple and direct, and he directly took away everyone in the Wang family for bribery and investigated.

The second generation of the Wang family are all a bunch of losers, except for the fifth child of the Wang family.

After some great memory recovery techniques, several people began to cry and confess their sins, making the official who recorded the case tremble with rage.

Zhou Tai was also a little panicked at this moment. He hurriedly released all the rights of the Mercenary Association, and then left Chaoyang City on the pretext of preparing food.

"Aren't you afraid that he will run away?" Zhan Beizun asked curiously. This matter was entirely Xiao Chan's suggestion.

"That's not a coincidence. No matter how powerful the territory is, it can't be compared with Chaoyang City." Xiao Chan said indifferently.

"Chaoyang City may not be as powerful as you think." Zhan Beizun said with a bitter smile.

"No, you are completely wrong. It doesn't matter if the city loses a piece of territory, but without the territory, the city will be completely passive." Xiao Chan explained.

"But if Zhou Tai and the others hide their identities, it won't be easy to detect." Zhan Beizun asked in confusion.

"Just because he thinks this way, it doesn't mean that his subordinates will also think this way. Who wants to remain anonymous for the rest of his life?"

"You're right, I'm curious about what choice he will make."

"I'm also curious." Xiao Chan smiled.

"By the way, do you have any suggestions about the Wang family? I have a headache." Zhan Beizun said distressedly.

"Simple, arrest the guilty and follow the rules, and let the innocent go."

"You let them go so easily, and they are not good people. It's just that I haven't found any evidence yet." Zhan Beizun said angrily.

The Wang family's reselling of supplies was tantamount to treason in his eyes, and he was naturally unwilling to let them leave.

"Let the innocent go. Didn't you see that young man? We can still watch a good show?"

"What a good show? Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, this is Chaoyang City, can't they still escape?" Xiao Chan smiled.

Zhan Beizun led his troops into the city to declare martial law for three days, and today is the first day.

"That's right, what about the food?"

"Isn't there still in the granary? We can hold on for a few more days. In a few days, the Wang family's will be ours, and then there will be no shortage of food."

"It's from Chaoyang City." Zhan Beizun said.

"That's really stingy. I've helped you so much and it's of no benefit at all. You can just have a headache. I'll leave first."

Seeing Xiao Chan leaving in anger, Zhan Beizun didn't care because he knew that the other party was not really angry.

After being detained for 24 hours, Zhan Beizun released seven members of the Wang family who had no evidence of guilt.

There were about twenty people in the Wang family, but only seven were released.

These include Wang Haishuo, Wang Guohua, Wang Lin, etc.

"You can leave now, but you can't leave Chaoyang City recently, otherwise you will be arrested."

Wang Haishuo leaned on crutches and asked anxiously: "What about the others?"

"Others have solid evidence. We will try each person based on their different crimes. You can go back and wait for notification."

"Can you please be accommodating?"

"I advise you to leave obediently. Otherwise, if your evidence is available later, you can go in and accompany them." The officer said unmoved.

Wang Guohua said with a dark face: "Dad, let's go back first."

Fortunately, the staff did not search them for food stamps, otherwise they would have had to walk home.

Back home, everyone looked at the messy courtyard in silence.

"Let's find a place to discuss countermeasures?"

"Dad, it's so late, let's talk tomorrow."

Wang Haishuo glanced at his youngest son in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."
