Although they had not openly confronted County Magistrate Zou, the fact that they were involved with the Lu Family meant they had also become enemies with the Zou family.
Since they were enemies, it was imperative to have a hold on the Zou family's weaknesses; otherwise, she would not be able to sleep soundly.
And since the Hong Family was Mrs. Zou's natal family, they needed to be investigated as well. Great Chu practiced collective punishment, so if the Hong Family committed a serious crime, the Zou family would be implicated too.
In short, she needed leverage against the Zou family now!

Zou Jiang faced a great catastrophe in the past, and that disaster seems to be somewhat related to County Magistrate Zou."
