This group of people were dressed in robes, with capable figures, sitting on horses, Chen Ping and the others saw from a distance that Zhang Shan'an glanced at his subordinate guards, and everyone immediately gathered around Chen Ping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Who are you?" The few people in front of him did not have weapons in their hands, and there were only wooden sticks on the side of the horse, not from the government, Chen Ping asked.

"Shan Xiangren, Shan Xiongxin." One person replied first.

Shan Xiongxin, this is really a coincidence.

There was a wave in his heart, Chen Ping's color changed slightly, and he glanced at the person in front of him, and said; "Chen Ping, the governor of the Liuhe Military Government, was ordered to come to exterminate the bandits in Duliang Mountain. Now the thieves are scattered and fled, the thief head is hiding in the single township, I am short of manpower, and I need to trouble the township to help search for the thief, if people escape, it is inevitable that it will not be a disaster in the township, leaving trouble. ”

Who is Shan Xiongxin? That was the brave man who almost killed Li Shimin, a brave general. In the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi joined Zhai Rang's gang, and Shan Xiongxin was known as the "flying general" in Li Mi County.

After that, Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought and won and lost each other. In the battle of Yanshi, Li Mi was defeated, and Shan Xiongxin surrendered to Wang Shichong and served as a general.

Later, Li Shimin besieged the eastern capital of Luoyang, there was no food in the city, cannibalism, Wang Shichong led the crowd to surrender, Shan Xiongxin was selected by Li Shimin, and Duan Da, Yang Wang, Meng Xiaoyi and others were beheaded by Luozhu.

Duan Da murdered Yang Tong because of his entourage Wang Shichong, and Li Shimin actually rebelled, but nominally he can't say so, he still needs to pull the banner of protecting the Yang family, kill Duan Da, avenge Yang Dong, buy people's hearts, and talk about the past.

As for Shan Xiongxin, he was not the head of the thief, he surrendered and was still killed, after thinking about it carefully, he can understand that it was because he wanted Li Shimin's life, the city was broken, and it is not surprising that he was settled by the autumn queen.

Not only Shan Xiongxin, Wang Shichong's Huangmen squire Xue Deyin was arrogant and disobedient because of the release of the text, and the crossbow made by Cui Hongdan killed too many people.

The person in front of him did not carry a gun, and Chen Ping didn't know if he was another person with the same name and surname, but at the moment, there was no need to worry about this, the first thing was to catch the thief Zhang Jizhen.

"Jiazun is the head of the township, Chen Dudu rest assured, the thieves in the mountains sometimes go down the mountain to harm the township, so I will let the villagers gather and search together." Shan Xiong said.

Shan Xiongxin was originally a big clan in the township, and he spoke, much stronger than Chen Ping, and Chen Ping couldn't knock on the courtyard door before, Shan Xiongxin shouted two sentences, and the courtyard door opened.

"They all took iron and wooden sticks and searched the village with me, they couldn't let that gang of thieves escape." Shan Xiongxin borrowed a gong from a guard, and while it was beating, it was shouting around the village.

It was an empty village, but people immediately came out.

"The squire and the local tyrant really have a natural advantage." Chen Ping sighed, and then followed a group of guards to search for the thief.

With the help of the villagers, it didn't take long for a thief to be found hiding in a rice harvest. Then, in the kitchen of a family's backyard, in a clay jar containing rice grain, another thief was found.

The villagers are close to each other, and there are people holding hands at all the exits in the village, like a grate, and they are not negligent at all.

When the afterglow of the sunset spread, the thief Zhang Jizhen was finally found, and he hid in the thatched pit of a household, soaked in the dung pit, leaving only a piece of empty bamboo to breathe.

The person was discovered by Chen Ping, in Shangtu Village, Chen Ping also asked Ding Jin to hide in the pit, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jizhen, as the leader of the thieves, actually chose such a place to hide.

"You're the Buddha? In order to survive, it is really forbearance. Chen Ping was far away from Zhang Jizhen, and next to him were two other thieves, identified Zhang Jizhen, "Get two buckets of water and rinse his body, the smell is too strong." ”

Soon, the two villagers immediately brought water and splashed it directly on Zhang Jizhen, washing away the feces that fell on his body.

"If you have been caught, what else can you say? That's right, I'm the Buddha, I just hate that I didn't kill you. If you fail to avenge the people of the world, you embezzle money and ignore the lives of the people, in fact, you deserve to die. Zhang Ji really hated it.

He was also hard-hearted, and did not beg for mercy like the thief next to him.

"This is the reason why you intercepted and killed the passing merchants, and the captive women went up the mountain to bully?" In a word, Chen Ping asked Zhang Jizhen speechless, "The people of the world, you have such a big mouth, how can you represent the people of the world?" Do you only want others to be like you and be the king of the mountain? Killing innocent people at will? ”

"That's because Yang Guang is unreasonable, conscripted and forced labor, and the government is brutal, forcing my family to die, so I have to not resist." Zhang Jizhen said resentfully.

"If everybody were like you, wouldn't the day be a mess? If there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the emperor will punish him. You are pitiful, those whom you have slain, deserve to die? As for Zhang Jizhen, he must be beheaded, Chen Ping shook his head, turned his head and said to Shan Xiongxin, "I still need to trouble you to tell the villagers, together they are to surround Duliang Mountain and raise torches to search the mountain." ”

When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The thief leader has been caught, and the rest of the thieves, forget it." ”

"Since they are accomplices, how can they let them go?" There must be thieves hiding in the mountains, Chen Ping saw Shan Xiongxin hesitate and knew why.

Human affection, this is the human society. It's not that Shan Xiongxin has anything to do with those thieves, but only then did Chen Ping know that this gang of thieves attacked Xuyi County, and it was thanks to a group of villagers such as Shan Xiongxin who helped the county to resist the enemy directly.

Seeing that the thieves were caught and the guards were victorious, some people sympathized with the thieves and wanted to let them go privately.

But in Chen Ping's view, if you do it, no matter what excuse you have, for whatever reason, you should be punished, otherwise it will be unfair to those victims.

Fairness is hard to achieve, but justice, at least to be upheld.

"Most of them were persecuted in the time of servitude, and if there was a way to live, they would not want to be thieves." Shan Xiongxin said again.

Chen Ping glanced at Shan Xiongxin, and when he was searching, he heard that Shan Xiongxin had repelled the thieves in the county town, and deliberately knocked on the side, but the weapon he usually used was a spear.

The name is right. The courage is also there. It's his turn.

"You come with me." Blindly explaining, it is better to let Shan Xiongxin see the evil of these thieves, Chen Ping said.

Zhang Shan'an escorted Zhang Jizhen and the thieves, Chen Ping borrowed horses from Shan Xiongxin, and the two took the first step to the Chuanyi at the foot of Duliang Mountain.

"Where are the thieves who have been captured?" Liu Zhuang was really at the bottom of the mountain, carrying the corpse of a bandit and placing it on the ground, where there were already thirty corpses, Chen Ping asked in the past.

"In the Epiloy." Liu Zhuang said, thinking of something, kicked the corpse of the thief on the ground, "These thieves really have no conscience and have harmed those individuals." There were nine women who were taken captive by them and went up the mountain, and they were so bad that they were not human, and there was a little lady in her teens, covered in wounds, and she was really a bunch of brutes.
