Fifty thousand troops moved swiftly and silently, occupying the guard posts in the east, south, west, and north of Beian City, and surrounded the residences of the top ten aristocratic families with three layers inside and three layers outside.

When the soldiers trapped the residences, the people inside became even more terrified.
The elderly family heads inside the residences didn't know what was happening; they rushed to the entrance to inquire, but the soldiers stood solemn and cold, mute and with nothing to disclose.
