Zhu Jinglun has not been in Nancheng at all in the past two days, and there are still some things he has to deal with in Beicheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, he needs to care about Fang Shan, a fortune teller who was locked up in the dungeon of Panyu County in the past, this fortune teller really didn't give it in vain, and even recruited more than 100 outlaws for him.

On that day, the township bravely attacked the city, and the foreigners retreated to the southern city, and at that time, even an important person like Bai Gui could not be controlled, let alone the important prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon. So as soon as the foreigners left, these prisoners were left alone, and they managed to break open the door of the cell by themselves, so they were free.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not an unjust case, the person who is imprisoned is more or less not a good person, as for whether he is forced to be helpless and worthy of sympathy, it belongs to another category, in short, he must have committed a crime before he will be imprisoned.

But this group of prisoners is really different, there are few British and French soldiers, and the public security problem in Guangzhou has always been very serious, but ordinary public security, such as stealing and the like, they can't control it at all, and the vast majority of those who can be imprisoned by them are charged with one crime, that is, sneak attack on foreigners.

Therefore, most of the people in prison were arrested for sneaking up on foreigners or attempting to attack foreigners.

Among these people, some were ordered to attack foreigners, such as the secret agents sent in from outside the city, Lin Fuxiang can sneak attack and capture an Indian soldier It seems to be very powerful, in fact, most of the raids are failures, that is only an occasional success, just because success is more concerning, and those who failed, many were arrested by foreigners, and those who had no trial and no walls were all locked up in prison.

Due to the large number of sneak attacks, the prisons were overcrowded, and Zhu Jinglun had visited them twice, and he knew very well the number of prisoners held inside.

After this group of people was free, the group of people who were ordered to lurk in the city naturally went to their organization, but there was a group of spontaneous sneak attackers like Xiao Aqiao, and there was still nowhere to go. There are more than 100 of these people, among them are revengers like Xiao Aqiao who don't want to live in despair, like Xiao Aqiao's wife and daughter were insulted, and there are a large number of people here who took revenge on foreigners because they sent coolies to demolish their houses in anger. There are also some heroes who commit the plot and want to beat a foreigner to show off, but they make a mistake and get arrested. There are also some who really seek money, and I heard that foreigners have money and take risks.

In short, there are all kinds of characters, and the ones who are forced to take revenge are the most, probably accounting for more than half.

According to the literati of this era, these people belong to the kind of reckless men who are angry and blood-spattered for seven steps, and in the words of rational and intelligent people in later generations, these people belong to the kind of middle school and second year young people who do things without going through their brains, and dare to do anything when their minds are hot.

But it is still good to be ashamed and courageous, and it is better to laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps than to take all of them in great strides.

After these people were free, there was nowhere to go for a while, and Zhang Pan, the second ancestor of Zhang Qianshan's family, shouted, everyone was a hero who fought foreigners, and he wanted to invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat, so he responded to every call.

Zhang Pan has been locked up in a cell with Fang Shan, Fang Shan is a delicate man from all sides, Zhu Jinglun went to visit Zhang Pan twice as a cousin, he knew very well in his heart that Zhu Jinglun and Zhang Pan definitely had a relationship, so he deliberately wooed him.

In Zhang Pan's eyes, at first, Fang Shan was quite respectful and even worshipped, because Fang Shan confessed that he participated in the kidnapping of Pa Xia Li, in Zhang Pan's eyes, this is a rare hero, but later Fang Shan recruited the stronghold of the countryside outside the city to the foreigners, which made Zhang Pan look down on it.

After Fang Shan kept it secret for a few days, he felt that the matter was almost over, and it was not until the foreign soldiers finally withdrew and the prisoners were trying to smash open the cell that Fang Shan told Zhang Pan that he had staged a counter-plot and told the foreigners that those places were an ambush by his own adults who wanted to fight the foreigners.

Zhang Pan was suspicious, when they got out of the prison, they found that Xiang Yong had beaten the foreigners to Beicheng, and there was no restaurant in the city for them to drink, so this group of rabble dispersed, but there were still hundreds of people, looking for some empty houses to nest together, Zhang Pan sent people home to ask for some food, temporarily solved the problem of rations for these people.

It wasn't until the overall situation was decided and the news of the surrender of the foreigners spread throughout the city that Fang Shan told Zhang Pan that he was at the behest of Zhu Jinglun, that is, the one who had visited Zhang Pan twice as a cousin.

Zhang Pan was extremely shocked at this time, and after Zhu Jinglun's identity spread, he already admired Fang Shan abnormally, not to mention Fang Shan's previous abduction of Pasha Li and other things, just in prison, he could cooperate with Zhu Jinglun to design an ambush for foreigners, Fang Shan felt that it could be written into the legendary romance and compiled into a commentary to talk about everywhere.

Although he was also quite curious about his inexplicable "cousin", but because of a dungeon deep in Fang Shan, he admired Fang Shan's unusual demeanor and scheming demeanor, boasting of the style of an ancient general, and pulling Fang Shan to worship his brother, Fang Shan immediately refused, he started to woo Zhang Pan because Zhang Pan and Zhu Jinglun were cousins, and he swore to Zhang Pan, wouldn't it mean that he was also Zhu Jinglun's brother, which was not in line with the status of superiority and inferiority.

Zhang Pan also dissuaded those 'heroes' who were imprisoned together, and quietly told him that although these people are also heroes, they are not real heroes, and told Zhang Pan that if he worships these people, he will lower his own identity, and since Zhang Pan is cousins with real heroes like Zhu Jinglun, it is inconvenient to worship with these people.

In fact, what Fang Shan was worried about was getting into trouble, the Great Qing Dynasty Law clearly forbade the worship of brothers of the opposite sex, and the punishment for those gangs that were allied by blood was very strong, even if it was only the worship of the opposite sex, it was also prohibited. Gather more than 40 people. The leader is to be hanged and imprisoned. "Zhang Pan wants to worship a hundred people, which is enough to cut off his head twice.

Of course, the provisions of the law are one thing, and in terms of specific implementation, China's civil officials have always been confused, so the provisions have long been reduced to a dead letter. But if someone finds out, it will always be troublesome, if they are Jianghu figures, they don't care, but Fang Shan thought that Zhu Jinglun was from the government, so he still didn't want to cause such trouble to Zhu Jinglun.

Zhang Pan thought about it and made sense, so he put out the thought of worshipping, but continued to gather with these people, messing around all day, the city was very chaotic, but it was convenient for their rabble to act, if they could find some wine in some ruins, it would be even more beautiful.

But Fang Shan felt that if it continued like this, their gang of rabble would be exterminated by the government sooner or later, even if there was no such thing as robbing the house, just a group of guys who claimed to be heroes and heroes gathered together, it was enough for the government to have a reason to clean them up, and in the end, the leader was naturally hanged, and the followers were all assigned to Yungui.

So when the foreigners surrendered, Fang Shan had been looking for Zhu Jinglun, and Zhu Jinglun was also looking for them, and finally contacted the two sides through the leader of Xu Min.

When the two sides met, Zhang Pan saw that Zhu Jinglun was twisted strangely, that is, he admired and felt inferior, Fang Shan asked if he could accept these people, and told Zhu Jinglun that these people were all good men who dared to beat foreigners.

Zhu Jinglun even wants those coolies, not to mention these people, no matter how bad these people are, they are always better than those big smokers, but Zhang Pan actually wants to follow Zhu Jinglun.

Zhu Jinglun didn't want this kind of gentleman, and told him that his father Zhang Qianshan was guarding the fort outside the city, but unfortunately Zhang Pan didn't go alive or dead, so he had to follow Zhu Jinglun.

Although I don't like this kind of gentleman in my heart, but when I think that Zhang Qianshan has made a great contribution this time and helped him a lot, this kind of character is worth continuing to woo, so he said that he will accept it for the time being, but he has to explain it to Master Zhang and warn Zhang Pan that if his father opposes it, he will not dare to accept it.

Accept these people, arrange for them to find empty houses in the south city to live in, and put them in the north city controlled by Xiang Yong, Zhu Jinglun is worried that they will conflict with Xiang Yong.

After that, Zhu Jinglun had a good talk with Fang Shan.

"I'm disappointed in you!"

Zhu Jinglun's first sentence turned Fang Shan's frightened face white, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, don't pretend."

The second sentence made Fang Shan embarrassed, this kind of old rivers and lakes would not be so unbearable.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

The third sentence is the point.

Fang Shan knelt directly on the ground: "The villain has done his own thing and caused trouble for the adults." ”

He was also very simple, not mentioning that he also helped Zhu Jinglun in prison, and directly told his mistakes.

Zhu Jinglun is still quite satisfied, this person is a rare smart person who has won over him.

"You know you're wrong, and there's still salvation."

Fang Shan drank and forcibly broke into Moqin's room, and after Ba Xiali was arrested, he was imprisoned as a suspect, which made Zhu Jinglun very worried, fortunately this person did not betray himself, otherwise it would be a big deal. On the other hand, it also proves his loyalty, at least he can endure severe torture without betraying his lord for glory. But if there is a choice, Zhu Jinglun prefers smart people who will not put themselves in danger.

Fang Shan was still kneeling on the ground, waiting to be sent down.

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "If you really follow me, you will quit drinking in the future." ”

Fang Shan thought in his heart that he had attacked foreigners that day, in fact, it was not because he was drunk at all, but he wanted to help Zhu Jinglun, but he didn't fight back.

only said: "The villain will definitely not drink in the future." ”

"Alright, get up. First of all, I will arrange something for you, find some cloth in the city, and make a brave suit for these people. From now on, they will be my people's bravery. ”

This rabble, dressed in rags, is easily beaten as bandits when they haunt the city.

As for Minyong, Zhu Jinglun has not yet compiled Minyong's errand, but he knows that there will be, so he will accept the people first.
