Chapter 903

Actually, the reason Zhang Shuya agreed to let Wang An and Wang Li fire their guns was because at this time, the militia was originally an important force for maintaining public security in various places.

If it were under certain special circumstances, militia members would not be held responsible for wounding people with gunfire.

Of course, as time passed, the role of the militia gradually decreased; mainly because the uneven quality of personnel was also a big drawback.

However, in recent years, the militia was still quite important.

After Zhang Shuya finished speaking, Wang An and Wang Li nodded at the same time. Anyway, as long as Zhang Shuya allowed it, then Wang An and Wang Li firing guns in public would not be a problem.

But to tell the truth, no one wants to shoot others for no reason.

Immediately after, Zhang Shuya called over two police officers at the squadron leader level, briefly explained the situation to them, and then said to Sun Nian:

"Little Nian, then this mission will be fully responsible by you. Let's go."

With Zhang Shuya's current rank, it was truly impossible for her to appear at the scene; the key was that as the number one in the Zhang Gongan Bureau, the things she needed to handle every day were also quite numerous.

However, being able to send Sun Nian personally was enough to show how much she valued this matter.

Of course, this was also because Wang An came to find her; otherwise, under normal circumstances, things happening in Xing'an Township should be handled by the Xing'an Township Police Station and would never reach Zhang Shuya here.

Sun Nian nodded in agreement, and everyone filed out and walked outside.

It must be said, for such a large unit as the County Zhang Gongan Bureau, its strength was still quite good.

Because there were not only jeeps but also large trucks here.

The three of them still sat in the sidecars, while Sun Nian led the group in a large truck.

Wang An counted roughly; including Sun Nian and the driver, 13 police officers were dispatched.

12 male officers and 1 female officer going together to deal with a group of usurers—this formation could be considered quite adequate; I wonder if those people can withstand it.

When everyone was ready, Sun Nian rolled down the car window and shouted to Wang An's side:

"You guys lead the way in front, we'll follow behind."

Wang An replied:

"Hey, alright, sister Nian."

After Wang An finished speaking, he said to Wang Li:

"Go to Xiuyu's house first to see what's going on, and see if those people are still at Xiuyu's house."

Wang Li nodded, then shifted gears and twisted the throttle, and the sidecar drove forward.

Without delay, less than half an hour later, the two vehicles stopped at the gate of Li Xiuyu's house.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Xiuyu wanted to run into the house, but as soon as she made a move, Wang An shouted angrily:

"You come back here! What's the use of being anxious now? Can't it wait a little longer?"

It wasn't that Wang An was cold-blooded; it was mainly because the situation inside the house was unknown, and if Li Xiuyu ran in so recklessly, she might face unnecessary danger.

Hearing this, Li Xiuyu stopped in her tracks, looked at Wang An with teary eyes, and then looked toward the house.

Li Xiuyu's performance was actually very understandable; one must know that she didn't know what her mother was like now, so as a daughter, she was naturally very concerned and worried.

After everyone got out of the car, looking at Li Xiuyu's courtyard, everyone couldn't help but frown deeply.

Mainly because a perfectly good courtyard looked like it had been trampled by a herd of wild boars; it was a complete mess.

It looked even more like it had been raided in ancient times, with all sorts of unwanted debris scattered randomly everywhere in the courtyard.

Broken quilts, straw mats, shattered pots and pans, and various farm tools with broken handles... in short, the whole courtyard was full of junk.

Most importantly, these things made it clear to anyone that they were man-made destruction, and the destruction hadn't happened long ago.

Subconsciously, Wang An asked Li Xiuyu:

"Your house... did those people do all this?"

At this moment, Li Xiuyu didn't seem to be paying attention to these things, but kept her eyes on the door of the house.

So after hearing Wang An's question, Li Xiuyu just glanced at the junk in the courtyard and nodded, saying:

"They did all this yesterday, saying that our family hid the valuable things, and they wanted to search carefully."

Hearing this, Wang An pursed his lips and nodded, but the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise.

Mainly because the scene before him was enough to show that those usurers were not just doing it for money; they were clearly aiming to destroy Li Xiuyu's family.

After all, no matter what, only if the debtor is alive can they hope to get their money.

If the people were gone, where would they go to ask for money?

But their current behavior was clearly not leaving a way for Li Xiuyu's family to live.

After observing and waiting for a long time, seeing that no one came out of the courtyard, Sun Nian gave the order:

"Everyone, search."

As Sun Nian's voice fell, a group of police officers flew toward every corner of the courtyard.

Sun Nian stood at the gate, looking at the mess in the courtyard, her pretty little face twisted with anger, and she said very furiously:

"These animals are truly too lawless."

Wang An's expression was already very ugly, and after hearing this, he nodded and said:

"That's right, these animals are too cruel, almost like the Japanese invaders entering a village, damn it."

Soon, the few officers who ran into the house ran out again, and one of them said to Sun Nian:

"Team Sun, we searched the whole house, there's no one."

Sun Nian nodded without speaking.

Li Xiuyu's courtyard wasn't very big locally, only about three or four mu; besides the livestock shed and haystacks, there wasn't really anything to search.

So immediately after, the other officers ran back from various places and reported to Sun Nian one after another that there was "no one."

Just then, a group of villagers from Sujia Village, hearing the sound of cars, all gathered toward Li Xiuyu's house.

In the countryside at this time, it was like this: as long as motor vehicles appeared in the village, a large group of people would soon gather nearby.

One middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties shouted to Li Xiuyu:

"Xiuyu, there's no one at your house now. Your eldest brother, sister-in-law, mother, and nephew are all at your second brother's house now."

Li Xiuyu replied with a sobbing voice:

"Hey, I know, Third Aunt."

Sun Nian hurriedly asked Li Xiuyu:

"Where is your second brother's house?"

Li Xiuyu pointed to the northwest of the village and said:

"It's over there, I'll lead you guys over."

Thanks to "Great Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
