As soon as Cao Zhang's words fell, a thin man in ragged clothes who looked like begging along the street ran out, and ran all the way to Cao Zhang's front before being stopped by two guards, only to hear him say: "Big." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info. Is this true, my lord? ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said, "It's true, you can go!" After speaking, he motioned for the guards to get out of the way.

Seeing this, the thin man cowered and walked up to Wei Xian, Wei Xian was staring at him, his eyes seemed to say that you dare to do this, the thin man shuddered when he saw this look, and then turned to the hill of belongings to take a look, gritted his teeth and spit on Wei Xian.

Wei Xiren was tied, and there was a sergeant behind him on his shoulder, there was no way to dodge, and the spit hit him in the face, and this spit suddenly knocked his arrogance away, as if at this moment he realized that he was a prisoner who was slaughtered by others, and at this time, his face was like ashes.

Cao Zhang laughed and said, "Okay! You go grab a handful, remember, it's just a handful, and I'll cut off your hand if you have more! ”

The thin man replied, "Yes, yes!" Then he came to the hill of gold, silver, jade, and five-baht coins, and looked at the dazzling belongings in a daze, and hesitated for a long time before grabbing a handful of gold ornaments, and returned to the crowd with a hand of gold ornaments.

At this time, the onlookers suddenly became in a commotion, and at the same time, many people began to discuss.

"Oh, it's true! Just touch them and you'll get rich! ”

"I see the beggar grabbed some gold bracelets, and gold chains!"

"Damn, this fierce lackey usually goes to my stall to ask for buns and never gives money, but today is just to take revenge!"

Seeing that the emotions of the middle-aged man in Puzi were mobilized, Cao Zhang said lightly: "Folks, you have to hurry, because today, I will only let two hundred people come over to smoke them, if you don't line up early, then please be early tomorrow!" After speaking, he asked the guards to besiege the city, and then said: "If you want to come, go into this circle, my guards will naturally count the numbers, and you can go home after two hundred people!" ”

Hearing that the number of people was limited, a few men did not hesitate to walk into the circle, some people took the lead, and the rest of the people naturally began to act, and after a while, two hundred people walked into the circle surrounded by guards.

Then Cao Chang said to them: "Two hundred people have bought enough, go home!" ”

The middle-aged people showed disappointment when they heard this, but Cao Jun was beside him, so he could only go back in a huff, Cao Zhang said to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, you can do the next thing!" If these two guys don't die, lock them up! After speaking, he walked into the county hall by himself.

Although Cao Zhang left, the generals were still watching the excitement in front of the county government, and about an hour later, Chen came to report: "My lord, the matter is done, Wei Xi and Gan Meng have been beaten to death." ”

Cao Zhang was reading the county chronicles of Puzi at this time, the so-called county chronicles, that is, the history, geography, customs, people, culture and education, products, and climate of the county, in the Han Dynasty, the first thing after the arrival of each county order was to update the county chronicles, indicating that he had a preliminary understanding of the place under his jurisdiction, the Lin family controlled Puzi for many years, and this county chronicle was compiled by a county order killed by the Lin family sixteen years ago, although it was more than ten years apart, but it was quite complete.

Hearing Chen's report, Cao Zhang said indifferently: "Now block the four gates of Puzi, and then send people to walk all over the streets and alleys of Puzi, and tell the local people that as long as they find the Lin family and the remnants of the Lin family, and then tell our army, you can come to the county government to receive a reward, and you can catch one if you denounce one person, two if you denounce two people, and if you bring people directly, you can catch ten." ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the adults want to arouse the resentment of the Puzi people against the Lin family's henchmen, and then let them spontaneously assist our army." ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "This is not a new method, didn't we let the opponent of the Sima family help us eradicate the Sima family when we were in Hanoi?" Hehe! In this world, no matter which dynasty or generation, there is no shortage of corrupt officials and cruel officials, and similarly, there is no shortage of mobs, as long as they are given a chance to be lawless, they will do many things that are difficult for us to do. ”

Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this: "My lord really knows the people's hearts, and when his subordinates were doing things for the Yuan family's henchmen in Runan, they knew that there were many small people in the counties, and they either did some small business in the county, or did some hard work, these people spontaneously formed friends in order to survive, introduced and cared for each other when they had business, and reported to each other when they were oppressed, and there were even people who relied on their familiarity with the terrain to launch a sneak attack and escape when the bully was alone, this kind of watch-and-help relationship abounds, Moreover, they are all opposed to the local authorities, so it is much more efficient than us to let these small people dig up the remnants of the Lin family. ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Forming a friend, forming a gang, thinking that this is the prototype of the gang, under the troubled times, the control of local officials has been greatly weakened, those small people who have a body of strength are unwilling to be enslaved, and secondly, they want to survive, and naturally they will seek survival in some corners that we can't see. ”

Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this: "Gang is helping, faction in "Erya" means a tributary of the river, and it is used to describe the group, it is an exaggeration to say that these small people are friends, forming a gang is their true portrayal, and the wording of the adults is indeed accurate. ”

Cao Zhang used the words of later generations to say casually, but he tried to find out that Chen Zhi had read a lot of books, even the earliest dictionary in ancient times "Erya", and also appreciated: "Uncle Zhi is indeed diligent in learning!" And then he said; With Uncle Lao and General Zhang and Yanyun, Boquan mobilized the Montenegrin Army and the people to form a ten-man team, half of the Montenegrin Army and half of the people patrolled Puzi County for three days, so that those people who wanted to report the remnants of the Lin family could see the people of our army in any nearby place, first, to strengthen their courage, and secondly, to quickly eradicate the remnants. ”

Chen Zhi agreed: "No! Then he departed.

"Gangs, gangs! It turns out that at this time there are already the prototypes of gangs! In ancient times, the management of the household registration of the population was relatively loose, and the efficiency was limited, which naturally gave rise to this kind of gang that survived on the fringes of society, Cao Zhang's current life in the late Han Dynasty still has many books that record the Han Dynasty's great and famous ranger Guo Jie, this person has done all kinds of illegal deeds, such as cheating, robbery and murder, manufacturing counterfeit money, stealing graves, but in the Han Dynasty has a great reputation, to this day there are still people as a model, these people who take Guo Xie as a role model are the local kind of small people who form gangs.

Now the war is raging, the people are not living, armed forces abound everywhere, this kind of gang is still difficult to become a climate, but when the world is settled, when all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, gangs will inevitably rise, not to mention anything else, just the business of smuggling salt and iron is enough for these people to eat, Cao Zhangke does not think that Caoyun can meet the supply needs of the people in the world.

Since sooner or later it will develop, I, Cao Zhang, will use it to see the effect! Cao Zhang rolled up the county chronicle and thought secretly. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
