Chapter 96 Blooming
When the sun set, the sudden fighting in Zhaowu Village finally came to an end.

With Jiang Shuishan's surrender and the deaths of his core followers, the remaining people were nothing more than refugees and ordinary people who were deceived or coerced by Jiang Shuishan.

These people had weak fighting ability to begin with, and without a leader, they had no intention of resisting. As for the weapons in their hands, they were just farm tools and sharpened sticks. How could they defeat the murderous group from Wangjia Village and Yangtou Mountain?
Among them, a few tough guys intended to lead people to resist, but when Zhou Anmin appeared with Jiang Shuishan's head in his hand, the last bit of their courage disappeared in front of Jiang Shuishan's head.

Soon, most people dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and a few stubborn elements were killed under the armed suppression.

Only after Zhou Anmin sent someone to report to Zhu Shenzui and told him that Zhaowu Village had been taken under control did Zhu Shenzui finally feel relieved.

As for whether there were any fish that slipped through the net and escaped, it was unknown. It was already dark, and people in this era were not well-nourished, and most of them had night blindness, so there was no way to pursue them at night, so we could only wait until tomorrow morning.

Make arrangements to control Jiang Shuishan's men. In addition, take precautions inside and outside Zhaowu Village to avoid any accidents.

These things were often done by Wang Jinwu and others, so naturally they were the responsibility of the people from Wangjia Village. Soon after the instructions were given, everything was arranged in an orderly manner. After all this was done, the matter came to an end.

"Congratulations, Sixth Master!" During the previous fight, no one knew where Zhang Xijun had hidden, but now he showed up.

When he met Zhu Shenzhui, Zhang Xijun stepped forward to congratulate him with a smile on his face, and at the same time he felt that he had made the right move by following Zhu Shenzhui. He originally thought that it would not be so easy for Zhu Shenzhui to bring people to deal with Jiang Shuishan this time, and even if he could kill Jiang Shuishan, he would probably suffer some losses.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Shuishan lost his life at the hands of Zhu Shenzhui just after arriving at Zhaowu Village. Even his trusted followers were captured. As for Zhu Shenzhui, except for Wang Gui who was more seriously injured, the others were only slightly injured, and no one died.

Such a result made Zhang Xijun secretly shocked, but also slightly excited.

"You're here at the right time." Seeing Zhang Xijun arriving, Zhu Shenzhui waved to him and asked him to sit down and talk.

After dealing with Jiang Shuishan, Zhu Shenzui and others still stayed in this house. After all, this house was the largest and best house in Zhaowu Village, and it had an excellent location in the center of the village. Jiang Shuishan chose this as his residence because of this.

However, due to the previous fighting, it was no longer possible to stay in the main house. Although the corpses had been moved away, the dirty blood on the ground had seeped into the soil, and the bloody smell was really overwhelming.

Zhu Shencui temporarily stayed in the main hall, which was not bad. He fetched water to wash off the blood and changed into clean clothes. Zhu Shencui returned to his usual appearance.

"Sixth Master!" Zhang Xijun bowed and sat down on a stool beside him.

"Jiang Shuishan has surrendered, but the matter has not been completely resolved. You are more familiar with the Wenxiang Sect. Now Jiang Shuishan's men have been subdued. I would like to hear your opinion on how to deal with it next."

"Sixth Master, this..." Zhang Xijun was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Shenzhui to ask him these questions.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Zhu Shenzhui picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and said lightly.

Zhang Xijun hesitated for a moment, then said after thinking: "Since Sixth Master trusts me, then I will tell you a few things. If what I say is wrong, please forgive me, Sixth Master."

Seeing that Zhu Shenzhui was still sitting calmly, Zhang Xijun continued, "The Wenxiang sect has always been good at bewitching people. It is impossible not to use heavy hands on its followers. If you fail to kill the snake, you will suffer from it. I think Sixth Master has felt a little bit today, right?"

Zhu Shenzui nodded slightly. He understood what Zhang Xijun meant. The fanaticism and fearlessness of the Wen Xiang followers were indeed terrifying. If Zhou Anmin, Xia Dong and others had not arrived quickly, he might have been capsized under the siege of these people today.

"Now that Jiang Shuishan's men have been subdued, in my opinion, it would be safer to end it all once and for all and deal with them all directly..." Zhang Xijun opened his mouth again. As soon as he said this, he saw Zhu Shenzhui frowning slightly, and he immediately felt relieved.

"But then again, although it is easy to deal with these people and there will be no worries, God is merciful and I don't want to commit more murders. That is their blessing. But Master Liu, some of these people still need to be removed. As for the ordinary refugees and the villagers of Zhaowu Village, as long as their hands are not stained with blood and they have not been bewitched by the Smell Incense Cult, it is not impossible to let them go."

"I think we can sort these people out and question them carefully. We can let those who are not deeply involved live, but we must not be lenient with those who have any connection with Jiang Shuishan and the Wenxiang Sect!" "Oh, then how do you think we should sort them out and question them?"

"That's not difficult." Zhang Xijun opened his folding fan and shook it slightly, looking confident. He immediately told Zhu Shenzhui his thoughts. Hearing what Zhang Xijun said, Zhu Shenzhui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Xijun to know all this, and his ideas were quite good. It was a waste of talent for this guy to be a teacher or a shopkeeper. With these skills, he could be a spy for the Jinyiwei.

After thinking about it, Zhu Shenzhui felt that what Zhang Xijun said made sense. He immediately agreed and asked someone to find Zhou Anmin.

When Zhou Anmin arrived, Zhu Shenzhui told him Zhang Xijun's suggestion. After listening to what Zhu Shenzhui said, Zhou Anmin also thought that this method was good. In this case, this matter was handed over to Zhang Xijun. Zhou Anmin assisted Zhang Xijun to sort out these captives as soon as possible and completely solve the problem.

When the next morning came, Zhu Shenzhui, who had rested for the night, got up, and Zhou Anmin and Zhang Xijun, who had been busy all night, also came back.

Zhang Xijun told Zhu Shenzhui that after careful interrogation, seventeen people were picked out from the captives. Most of these seventeen people were subordinates of Jiang Shuishan of Zhaowuling. Although these people were not Christians, they had been bewitched by Jiang Shuishan in the name of Wenxiang Sect, or they had used knives and guns when taking over Zhaowu Village and had blood on their hands.

In addition, among the seventeen people, two were villagers of Zhaowu Village. These two people had colluded with Zhaowuling before. It was also because of these two people that Jiang Shuishan attacked Zhaowu Village first, and colluded inside and outside to take down Zhaowu Village in one fell swoop.

As for the others, they were either ordinary refugees or ordinary people. They had nothing to do with Jiang Shuishan and were simply being dragged along.

In addition, according to inquiries, Jiang Shuishan left some people in Zhaowuling, but the number was not large, only about ten people. This time, Jiang Shuishan had made preparations in advance to lead people out of Zhaowuling. If things got out of hand, the people left in Zhaowuling at least had a way out.

Now that Jiang Shuishan is dead and Zhaowuling is still unaware of the situation, Zhang Xijun suggested taking people to Zhaowuling as soon as possible to completely wipe out the group of people Jiang Shuishan left there. If any of Jiang Shuishan's cronies took advantage of the chaos to escape during the fight yesterday, it would not be so easy to deal with them if they returned to Zhaowuling.

This suggestion was approved by Zhu Shenzhui, who quickly called people together to tell them about it. After hearing about it, Wang Jinwu shouted that he would take people to Zhaowuling to do this for Zhu Shenzhui.

However, considering that he was injured, and Li Hu and others were also seriously injured, Zhu Shenzui handed this matter over to Hu Lin and Xia Dong, and asked them to take people to Zhaowuling as soon as possible, catch the other party off guard before they were informed of the situation, and completely eliminate the future troubles.

"Have you found out the origin of the woman in the wing room?" Zhu Shenzhui asked after Hu Lin and Xia Dong took their people away.

Yesterday, Zhu Shenzhui saw several women locked up in the side rooms, and he did not make things difficult for them, and even asked his men to take care of them. But until now, these women are still locked up in the side rooms and have not been released.

Zhang Xijun nodded and said that he had found out everything. These five women were all villagers of Zhaowu Village. Three of them were concubines and two daughters of a wealthy family in Zhaowu Village where they were currently. When Jiang Shuishan captured Zhaowu Village, the wealthy family resisted fiercely and the whole family was killed by Jiang Shuishan. Because the concubine and the two daughters of the wealthy family were good-looking, they were spared and locked up in a side room to become playthings for Jiang Shuishan and his cronies.

The same was true for the other two women, whose families were killed by Jiang Shuishan and his gang, and thus they became his playthings. These five women have been locked up in the wing room for a few days and have long been abused by Jiang Shuishan and his gang. Now, please give Zhu Shenzhui some advice on how to deal with them.

"They are all daughters of good families. Leaving them alone will only harm their lives. In this case, Tiger!" Zhu Shenzhui thought about it and said to Li Hu, "Let them pack up. They definitely can't stay in Zhaowu Village anymore. Let them follow you back to Yangtou Mountain. When we get to Yangtou Mountain, you and your brothers should discuss how to arrange their resettlement. Whether it's marriage with the same person or resettlement, you will arrange it."

Li Hu was stunned at first, then he suddenly felt happy.

Not only him, but also Lu Yishen. Although there are women in Yangtou Mountain, the women there are all elderly old ladies, and the younger ones are also the families of the brothers in the mountain.

Li Hu's wife had long passed away, and Lu Yisheng and the others were all bachelors. This man was full of vigor and vitality, and he was not an old man or a vegetarian monk. How could he not have such needs? There was no such condition on the mountain. Now there were suddenly five more young girls. Although it was a pity that they had passed through the hands of Jiang Shuishan and his gang, Zhu Shenzhui was right anyway. After all, they were all daughters of good families, and it was fate that made them like this.

"Tiger, let me be frank with you. No matter how you arrange it, don't just think about yourself. You have to take it easy." Seeing Li Hu and Lu Yisheng so happy, Zhu Shenzhui immediately understood what they were planning and said this half-jokingly and half-warningly.

Li Hu laughed and nodded repeatedly, and Lu Yisheng also patted his chest to assure him, but the excited expressions of the two of them told everyone what was going on.

Seeing his father so excited, Li You, as a son, couldn't say anything. He could only pretend that he heard and saw nothing. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed on his toes, and began to concentrate on studying.
