However, although Zhang Qingfeng divided the territory for the businessmen, as the scale of the development became larger and larger, conflicts broke out between the two sides.
The reason for the matter was that a powerful businessman wanted to buy ready-made land reclaimed by a group of Xiang army soldiers adjacent to his own territory at a low price, because in this way he could get benefits faster.
However, this team of soldiers from the Xiang army disliked the merchant's low price and refused to sell it.
So the businessman colluded with the officials and forcibly bought all the hundreds of acres of land they had cultivated for more than a year at a low price.
In such a situation, dozens of Xiang army soldiers naturally refused to agree.And so conflict broke out.
Although the soldiers of the Xiang army were from the army, they were just refugees taken in by the imperial court and had no deterrent power at all.
Not only did the merchants hire thousands of people to open up wasteland on Yizhou Island, but there were hundreds of thugs alone. After the conflict broke out between the two sides, more than a dozen soldiers of the Xiang army were killed or injured.
On the merchant's side, several thugs were also killed or injured.
In the end, this incident finally alarmed Zhang Qingfeng.
It was already two days later when Zhang Qingfeng knew about it.
After receiving the news, Zhang Qingfeng immediately rushed to the incident site along the coastline with hundreds of elite troops.
"What's going on here? Someone explain it to me."
After Zhang Qingfeng arrived at the stronghold, he immediately summoned a group of officials in charge here.
"My lord, Liu Yuanwai bought the land of some people, but these people got the money deduction but thought the money was too little and refused to accept it. In the end, the two sides fought and only a dozen people died." An official said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Is that so?" Zhang Qingfeng asked the others.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Qingfeng caught his gaze, and the others immediately responded submissively.
"Go, call me both parties involved in the trouble." Zhang Qingfeng said to several small officials.
Under Zhang Qingfeng's order, the little official left with a promise.
An hour later, a dozen people were brought over in an open space.
"Master Yang, you have to decide for us..."
As soon as these people saw Zhang Qingfeng, they began to cry.
"Master Yang, Liu Baofu and the others are not human beings. They robbed our fields and beat our brothers to death. Please make the decision for us, Master Yang..."
"Please everyone, I'm here this time to deal with this matter. I didn't know exactly what happened when I first came here, so I can't make decisions for you yet. Let me talk about it after I figure out the cause and effect of the matter." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone said the man.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingfeng looked at a small official beside him and asked, "Has anyone from the Liu family come?"
"Go back to my lord, the Liu family didn't come." The little official replied.
"Did you call?" Zhang Qingfeng asked again.
"I called, but didn't come," said the clerk.
Hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng's face turned gloomy.
"Yang Hu, go and lead the troops to capture Liu Baofu." Zhang Qingfeng gave the order.
He didn't believe it yet, a businessman dared to challenge him.
"Master Yang, you can't do it." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, an official stopped him immediately.
"Why not?" Zhang Qingfeng frowned.
"Master Yang, please take a step to speak." The official said to Zhang Qingfeng with a wink.
Hearing the official's words, Zhang Qingfeng took two steps back calmly.
At this time, the official also came up, and he whispered to Zhang Qingfeng: "Master Yang, this Liu Baofu is the brother of Liu Quanyou, the servant of the household department, and he must not be offended."
Hearing this official's words, Zhang Qingfeng showed a look of disgust in his eyes.
As a person in the 21st century, what he hates the most are people who bully others.
Hearing what the official said, Zhang Qingfeng directly and decisively issued an order to Yang Hu, saying: "Yang Hu, go, lead the troops to arrest Liu Baofu, if Liu Baofu's people resist, they can be killed on the spot."
"Yes." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Yang Hu agreed, and then left with hundreds of people.
"This...Master Yang, you can't do it..." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the official turned pale with fright.
"Take him down and lock him up. I'll talk about it after I figure out the situation." Zhang Qingfeng pointed to the official and said to a group of soldiers beside him.
This official is the person in charge of this immigration stronghold, no matter what, this matter cannot be separated from him.
"Yes." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's order, several soldiers carried the official away.
"Master Yang is mighty."
Seeing this scene, a dozen or so soldiers of the Xiang army quickly shouted happily.
They all thought that Zhang Qingfeng wanted to make decisions for them.
At this time, Yang Hu rushed in directly with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers in the Liu family's land reclamation stronghold.
"Where is Liu Baofu?" Yang Hu grabbed a person in the stronghold and asked.
"Big, big, my lord, Liu Yuanwai is inside." The person who was caught was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Take me to find Liu Baofu." Yang Hu said to the man.
Under Yang Hu's coercion, the man had no choice but to take Yang Hu to the place where Liu Baofu was.
The place where Liu Baofu is located is a newly renovated house.
Because of the poor conditions in Yizhou Island, this house is not very luxurious, but it is much better than other people's wooden sheds and mud tile houses.
Soon, Yang Hu arrived at the place where Liu Baofu was with hundreds of troops.
Yang Hu arrived with hundreds of people, which also alarmed other people in the stronghold. At this time, Liu Baofu was surrounded by more than 100 subordinates.
"You are Liu Baofu, my lord asked you to go." Yang Hu said to a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
"Who is your lord?" Hearing Yang Hu's words, Liu Baofu asked with squinting eyes.
"You'll know who my lord is when you go, come with me!" Yang Hu said lightly to Liu Baofu.
"Boy, you are so arrogant, do you know who I am?" Yang Hu's tone made Liu Baofu feel very offended, and his tone became a little vicious.
"I don't care who you are, are you going or not?" Yang Hu's tone also became severe.
"What if I don't leave?" Liu Baofu asked darkly.
"Come on, arrest him for me." Yang Hu directly issued an order to all the soldiers.
Hearing the order, all the soldiers drew their waist knives.
Such a situation suddenly made the whole scene extremely tense.
On Liu Baofu's side, hundreds of his subordinates also drew their weapons one after another.
"Anyone who dares to resist with weapons will be shot and killed. I will count to three and immediately put down their weapons and surrender." Yang Hu yelled at Liu Baofu's men.
"I'll see who would dare." Liu Baofu did not show any weakness either. He did not believe that a mere county magistrate would dare to let soldiers kill him.
"one."
Yang Hu didn't answer Liu Baofu's words, but counted directly.
"two……"
After hearing this, the men around Liu Baofu became nervous, but no one lowered their weapons.
They are all thugs who have followed Liu Baofu for many years. They are Liu Baofu's absolute loyalists. They don't know how many bad things they have done for Liu Baofu.
"three."
When Yang Hu counted to three, he found that no one had put down their weapons and surrendered, so he immediately gave the order to attack.
"Archer, shoot the one who bears the knife."
