Zhu Shunming did not let Zhang Pan lead people into the dense forest to chase the enemy. Untrained soldiers entering the jungle to track down mountain people who have lived in the mountains since childhood is tantamount to death.

Zhang Pan and the others were locked up for a few days, and when they came out, they were pale and palpitated.

It turns out that the punishment that Li Dingguo said is more brutal than breaking his leg really exists.

More importantly, the third flag lost face, which made these unruly men very angry, and vowed to severely punish the cattle thieves.

The construction of Zhu Shunming's temporary residence has been stepped up, especially the construction of defense facilities.

The entire camp is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, always on guard against the sneak attack of unknown enemies.

Old Man Zhu reclaimed a few acres of wasteland outside the camp and immediately to the west of the camp, and led his wife and concubine to work in full swing. With land, there is foundation.

Zhu Shunming conducted targeted mountain combat training for Zhang Pan's Third Banner.

In the tropical jungle that year, Zhu Shunming, who had no combat experience, endured a lot of hardships, but fortunately he had a great life and did not bury his bones elsewhere.

Later, he systematically learned jungle tactics, but unfortunately he had no chance to play.

………………

Nigo hides in the grass, with only the feathers on his head exposed. Larry followed him, eager to try.

"Brother, you see, there are women, there are Han women," Larry exclaimed excitedly: "I heard that Han women are as gentle as water, and their skin is as delicate as silk, brother, let's get one back." ”

Nigo was so excited that his face was a little red. Han woman!

In the field, Zhu Lin'er sang a Shaanxi tune, happily picking wild flowers, and bouncing to show her cardamom youth.

Li Cuiwei and Ruyu appeared in the newly reclaimed farmland, and after a few farm jobs, they were so tired that they couldn't help but fan their clothes.

The breeze blows, and Nigo and Larry seem to smell the fat powder in the air, and the adrenaline rushes, their eyes turn red, their whole bodies stiffen, and their desires swell.

………………

"Ding...... Zero ......"

Brass bells are particularly crisp and penetrating at night.

Nigo, who was climbing on the wall, was not good. Before he could react, countless torches lit up around him, illuminating the two of them in vain.

A group of ghostly creatures dressed in tattered clothes surrounded the two of them with black but dangerous swords, guns and arrows.

Nigo grabbed the rope in one hand and tried to pull out the blow arrow in the other.

The Han people are weak and can be bullied! They didn't dare to make a move. The Han people who dared to make a move were suppressed by the Han court.

Nigo didn't know if the Han court was too friendly or too stupid.

Unfortunately, there are always exceptions. Zhu Shunming is an exception.

There is a kind of head and a soldier. Zhu Shunming is a person who is afraid of things? He is most afraid that others will not come to make trouble.

Teachers should be famous. The United States also said that it was "to eliminate weapons of mass destruction" when it attacked Iraq, although everyone on the earth knew that it was for oil.

Conflict between Zhu Shunming and the indigenous mountain people is certainly inevitable. But he had to stand on the moral high ground and "persuade" them with peace of mind.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh......"

The bolt is as powerful as the Black Star at a short distance.

Two bolts pierced Nigo's hands and nailed him to the wall.

"Ah......h

"Bang ......"

Nigo screamed, and the blow arrow fell to the ground, and the whole person hung on the wall, blood dripping down his arms, body and thighs.

Larry crouched in the corner, shivering, and stumbled, "I...... My dad is Toast Mountain...... No...... Don't kill me......"

Zhang Pan held his breath and wanted to vent for a long time. Two unlucky eggs were sent to the door, and they naturally would not be polite.

After a fist and kick service, the two were tied into zongzi and escorted into the camp. Nigo's wound was casually bandaged, and it was still oozing blood.

Nigo's face was pale from blood loss, but he was much tougher than Larry.

"My father is Sanlang Mountain, Yi people, Tusi Shama Mountain. Hurry up and let us go, otherwise my father won't spare you, and the Han court won't let you go. The embarrassed Nigo threatened viciously.

"It seems that the education is not enough," Zhang Panyin smiled: "If you reason with him well, we will convince people with reason in Jiu'an Town." ”

Several soldiers of the Third Banner smiled and "reasoned" with Nigo with their fists, and the reasoning was simple and rude, and it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Larry was deeply "convinced".

"Look, why do you come late at night? It hurt everyone's peace. "Zhang Pan and the airway.

Larry told the situation of the Tusi Cottage of the Yi people in Sanlang Mountain and how the two came to Jiu'an Town, and said that the two saw Han people living here and came to visit.

"Is the beef delicious?" Zhang Pan asked casually.

Seeing that the Han leader's face softened, Larry breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves were soothed. The Han people really didn't dare to do anything to the Yi people!

"It's delicious, it's much better than the beasts in the mountains, it's so fragrant, it's delicate, it doesn't smell fishy......" Larry couldn't get enough of it.

"Sure enough, it's your ......" Zhang Pan smiled cruelly: "It caused Lao Tzu to be imprisoned and ......"

The ruffians around him looked at Larry with ill intentions and laughed evilly......

"No ......"

A terrible scream could be heard far away in the night.

………………

"Saburo Mountain?"

Sanlang Mountain is in the west of Jiu'an Town, thirty miles away from Jiu'an Town, on the side of the couch.

There are more than 2,000 Yi people under the Tusi Shama Dashan of Sanlang Mountain, which is a relatively large mountain tribe.

The influence of the Tusi of Saburo Mountain also includes Kumquat Mountain and Mixi Mountain, which are closer to Jiu'an Town, and when the weather is good, you can even see the peaks of Mixi Mountain from the high ground of Jiu'an Town.

Zhu Shunming's face was cloudy, and after listening to Zhang Pan's report, he did not react, but asked Zhang Pan to step up his training.

Zhang Pan left with some disappointment. In his heart, the young and vigorous Zhu Shunming will definitely send troops to destroy the enemy on the side of the couch. I didn't expect Zhu Shunming to be so calm.

Zhu Shun was really calm.

Li Cuiwei and Ruyu could feel Zhu Shunming's young firepower, and the rest felt Zhu Shunming's calm atmosphere. After all, it's an old monster that is dozens of years old.

The construction of Jiu'an Town is in full swing.

After the construction of the residence, Zhu Shunming began to gradually push outward.

The first action is to open up the wasteland.

The daily consumption of food and clothing for one or two hundred people is staggering.

For this reason, Zhu Shunming arranged for the soldiers to drive the carts back and forth to Chengbu County and the county town to purchase, which became a kind of routine training.

Large-scale procurement and large-scale publicity have made the price of goods in Chengbu County rise by two percent. Let the name of Jiu'an Town spread widely.

Clearing the land is a big deal.

In addition to the normal training patrols, the rest of the men and horses have all joined the wasteland army.

It's only mid-June, and as long as the land is cleared in time, one crop of rice can still be planted.

Another big event was the trial of Nigo and Larry.

In the eyes of others, Zhu Shunming takes it very seriously.

The trial session took place in the planned square in the center of the camp. Everyone watched the play in general, and they all gathered around, and it was lively and lively.

Shi Lei, the little black-faced of the Military Discipline Department, served as the judge and sat in the middle of the high platform.

There are seven people sitting in a row of chairs on the right, Old Man Zhu, the tall and thin Wang Xing, the blind Zhang Fangshan, the lame Zhong Ming, the one-armed Huang Jinwu, the son of the domestic servant Lao He, He Changsheng, and Zhu Shunming's girl Ruyu.

Seven people formed what Zhu Shunming called the "jury". The role of the jury is to determine whether the defendant is guilty or not based on the evidence submitted by both parties and the live arguments.

The defendant was certainly guilty. They all stole cattle and climbed the wall in the middle of the night to do misdeeds, can they still be innocent? Boss Zhu really took off his pants and farted, and he did it too much.

Also watching at the scene were merchants who Zhu Shunming specially invited from Chengbu County to conduct market research.

………………

"Take the suspect ......"

Handcuffed and shackled, Nigo and Larry are carried to the platform by tall guards. Liu Wenxiu, as the plaintiff, appeared on the high platform.

Liu Wenxiu was the first to speak.

"Honorable judges, honorable jury members......"

Am I a "respected jury member"? The jury members had different expressions, but most of them found it incredible.

Liu Wenxiu is Zhu Shunming's right-hand man, and his future is limitless. He actually said "respect", which immediately made the jury members solemn, instead of treating it as a game.

“…… On June 18 of the fourth year, the defendants Shamanigo and Shamalari climbed over the wall of the village in the middle of the night and were captured on the spot by our soldiers of the Third Banner. ”

"At that time, Shamani was about to resist and was subdued on the spot by my brave soldiers. Out of humanitarianism, our Third Banner soldier bandaged and treated the wounded Shamani fruit. ”

"Here is the witness Liu Erpeng. Liu Erpeng was the one who arrested the two suspects that night. ”

"Witnesses." Shi Lei said expressionlessly.

Liu Erpeng is like a storyteller, and he described the situation that night vividly, making everyone feel like they were there.

"This is the weapon that Shamani wants to rebel against. Present. ”

A girl holds a tray in which Nigo's blow arrows are placed.

"This is the murder weapon that Shamani Guo wants to commit murder, the poisoned blow arrow." Liu Wenxiu pointed to the blow arrow and said: "The mountaineers come to hunt and commit murder. I believe that many people have suffered the loss of this kind of thing. ”

"My sister-in-law was shot by this kind of thing, unconscious, and let the mountain people spoil it. When I told the county government, Master Hu didn't care about ......" the businessman in the audience shouted angrily.

Liu Wenxiu continued to talk eloquently: "It seems that the suspect must have committed more than this crime with this murder weapon. ”

After interrogation, the suspect confessed that the two climbed the wall and entered the camp with the intention of raping and abducting the women in the camp. There is evidence of the suspect's interrogation transcript and the suspect's signature. ”

A girl presents the transcript to the jury for them to look at.

The seven-member jury looked at each other. Civilians are still allowed to access the case files? Is it really important to yourself?

Among the seven people, only Old Man Zhu and Ruyu are literate. For example, the jade turtle shrank in the back row, his face was flushed, and he wanted to break the two Niguo into pieces, and he actually dared to beat his aunt's idea?

Old Man Zhu picked up the interrogation transcript and looked at it with interest.

"Horizontal row? From left to right? Play the piano indiscriminately. The words are ugly, and the writing is full of vernacular. What the hell is this? Not to mention, it's much easier to break sentences......"

The trial continued.

"After interrogation, the suspect confessed that another case was also done by them. It was a cattle theft that happened on the night of the 10th day of the first month of June. ”

The two suspects confessed that on the evening of the 10th day of the first month of June, the two and four other suspects used blowing arrows to stun two ploughing cows, slaughtered and divided them on the spot, and then took them back to the suspects' homes to eat. There are transcripts of the interrogations of the two suspects, as well as the murder weapon used by the suspects to slaughter and divide the cattle. ”

Transcripts and horn scimitars were presented to the court.

"The prosecutor believes that the facts of the crimes committed by the two suspects are obvious, the evidence of the crimes is sufficient, and the testimony shows that the facts of the crimes are conclusive." Liu Wenxiu said righteously: "I implore the jury to carefully review the evidence submitted by the prosecutor and make a decision on whether the suspect has committed a crime." ”

"Shamanigo, please come forward and speak."

The audience was already very noisy. In the Ming Dynasty, slaughtering cattle was a major crime, not only the court would convict it, but the people would also condemn it.

Shi Lei was still cold and calm, and let the suspect speak to defend himself according to the established procedure.

"You weak Han Chinese," Nigo was still stubborn, "Yes, I slaughtered the cow, and it has long been eaten by the people in the village." ”

"You, that's you," Nigo pointed to Ruyu and said, "Han woman, Lao Tzu takes a fancy to you." Obediently go back to the cottage with Lao Tzu, otherwise my father will send troops to kill you chickens and dogs. ”

"The Han court will only blame you for stirring up trouble and appeasing us Yi people. Hey, hey, hey......"

Ruyu's face was flushed with shame, it was too embarrassing. She looked up and saw Zhu Shunming looking at her encouragingly, and couldn't help but feel more courageous, and gave Nigo a roll of her eyes hatefully.
