There were eighty-five prisoners in the prison, and to Zhu Long's surprise, fifty-eight of them were farmers who could not pay their taxes.

Zhu Long finally realized how the feudal court oppressed the peasants!

He released these people on the spot, and these honest peasants were busy kowtowing to him and thanking him, and left tremblingly, still worried about what to do after the court came back.

Three young men went and returned, knelt down in front of Zhu Long, and one of them said: "The villains want to follow Zhu Daguan to fight corrupt officials and save the poor people!" ”

Zhu Long was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he wanted to take refuge in himself, he thought about it and persuaded: "You better go and discuss with your family first, if your family agrees, go to the government to find me." ”

The man's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "We are all three of us, our relatives are dead, and we are alone in the world......"

The two in the back wiped tears from their eyes.

Zhu Long couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and Lu Zhishen sighed deeply.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Li Feng, and they are Han Jin and Chen Tian."

"Okay, Li Feng, Han Jin, Chen Tian, the three of you will follow me in the future!"

This is the real proletariat, the most resolute revolutionary position, of course Zhu Long will not refuse them, his heart moved, and suddenly asked: "Li Feng, I see that you speak clearly, have you ever read a book?" ”

Li Feng nodded, "The villain's family lives in Huanglin Village, when he was a child, his family was okay, he studied in a private school for a few years, and then his parents died one after another, and the village Baozheng deceived me when I was young, colluded with the government, and occupied my family's land, and what is even more odious is that the government still collects rent and taxes from me, and at first I can sell my property, but then I can't pay it, so I was arrested!" ”

Zhu Long patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now that you are my brother, no one can bully you, Huanglin Village Bao is exact, right?" I'll get justice for you. ”

"Thank you, big official!" Li Feng's heart was feverish, and he was extremely moved.

Zhu Long continued to look at the directory, and there were seven people who owed usury and couldn't pay them back, and they were sued by the creditor, and Zhu Long also let them go.

There are twenty people left, who are the real traitors, and as for whether there are unjust cases, Zhu Long is not clear, after all, investigating cases is not his specialty.

He went to the interrogation room, where the walls were covered with torture instruments, iron hooks, pliers, tiger chairs, and barbed leather whips...... The cold light was shining, and the blood was stained, and Zhu Long's scalp was numb when he saw it.

"These are fake, scaremongering! We're just playing the board. Lao Li explained.

Zhu Long rolled his eyes, these jailers have a very bad conscience, and ordinary prisoners are not scared to pee when they come in!

He sat in the position of the presiding judge, Lu Zhishen sat in the jury seat next to him, and seven or eight wolf-like jailers stood on both sides, holding all kinds of torture instruments in their hands, like ghosts in hell.

Fan Xiu was brought in, he was in his twenties, emaciated, haggard, with many scars on his body, and dried dark red blood stains on his clothes, and obviously suffered a lot in prison.

Zhu Long didn't torture him, didn't intimidate him, but just asked in detail where he was that night and what he did? What was said.

After asking for half an hour, Zhu Long could confirm that Fan Xiu was indeed at home that night.

His words are generally consistent with Aunt Fan's confession, although there are some discrepancies in the details, but this is normal, if it is really exactly the same, it is not credible, because people's memory is biased.

The content of his questions was very large and very detailed, and even if the two confessed to each other, it was useless.

"Fan Xiu, I think you have sufficient alibi evidence to rule out your murder suspicion, you can go, go home, your mother hopes that you are blind!"

There was no need to ask any more, he directly let Fan Xiu go home.

Fan Xiu looked incredulous.

Lu Zhishen said angrily: "Why, I am reluctant to let you go!" ”

Fan Xiu was overjoyed, knelt down, kowtowed a few times, got up and stumbled outside, crying as he ran.

Zhu Long felt very happy, maybe this is what it feels like to help others!

As for who the real murderer of the groom Ye Cao was, he didn't have the time and energy to investigate this for the time being.

Li Cellhead reminded: "I wish the great official, that bride Bai Xiaoyue is locked up in the women's prison next door......"

"Let it go!" Zhu Long said directly, he didn't believe that a weak woman would kill her newlywed husband on the wedding night.

He and Lu Zhishen came to the school field in the west of the city, where the competition was in full swing.

According to the rules of the competition formulated by Zhu Long, three winners were selected from each team, and each team was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Then each of them won the top three in the competition, and each was rewarded with twenty taels of silver.

The top three in each battalion were then decided, and each was rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

Because there are many people in the water word camp and the pro-guard camp, the number of places is correspondingly more, with 10 people in the water camp and 6 people in the pro-guard camp.

In the end, the top ten of the whole army will be decided, and the reward will be even richer, the first place will be 300 taels, and then the ranking will be reduced by 20 taels.

In addition, there are mystery rewards.

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men!

Today is the first day, the top three in the team have not yet been decided, and when the results come out tomorrow, ten taels of silver will be distributed to the winners in public, and Zhu Long is sure that the enthusiasm of the whole army for practicing martial arts will be ignited at once.

Ten taels of silver is not a small number, most people have never seen it in their lives, and it can make a family of five live a beautiful year.

Later, when dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver are distributed, it is estimated that everyone will go crazy.

Although it costs more than 2,000 taels of silver, Zhu Long feels that it is too worthwhile, and this kind of martial arts competition must form a system, and an all-army martial arts competition will be held every year in the future to advocate the style of martial arts.

The next day, Hua Rong hadn't come back yet, and Zhu Long was a little worried.

He rode on horseback, according to the distance, to Dong'e County, back and forth, two days is more than enough.

He hasn't come back yet, will it be okay?

Early the next morning, he called Shi Qian.

"Brother Shi Qian, Brother Hua Rong went to Dong'e County the day before yesterday, and he should have come back yesterday, but until this morning, he didn't come back. If there is an accident, don't rescue yourself and get yourself in danger, just find out the news and come back to tell me. ”

"Don't worry, the time will definitely inquire clearly!" After Shi Qian received his order, he immediately set off.

Unexpectedly, two hours later, Shi Qian and Hua Rong came back together.

"Brother Hua, you're finally back, I'm worried about death...... Hey? Miss Cheng, why are you back again, isn't your father in Dong'e County? Miss Cheng actually came back with Hua Rong again, which puzzled Zhu Long.

"Let the lord worry" Hua Rong said apologetically: "Here's how it ......"

It turned out that after Hua Rong escorted Miss Chen to Dong'e County, she was going to come back, but Cheng Wanli insisted on inviting him to the banquet on the grounds of gratitude.

Hua Rong wanted to leave directly, but he didn't expect that the back road was cut off by Hao Siwen and his troops, so he had to go to the banquet, but there was no surprise, this was a Hongmen banquet.

Cheng Wanli detained Hua Rong and prepared to take him to Tokyo in the near future to atone for his crimes.

Miss Cheng was very angry and felt that her father was very despicable in doing this, so she secretly rescued Hua Rong in the middle of the night, and the two fled back to Dongping Mansion.

Girl, what are you doing here? Even if you let Hua Rong go, will your father still kill you?

Zhu Long shook his head, he didn't understand what this chick was thinking, could it be that he had taken a fancy to our family's Huarong?

After Miss Cheng left, Hua Rong reported to Zhu Long the information he had found in Dong'e County.

"Lord, Dong'e County is short, there are more than 3,000 soldiers, morale is low, Cheng Wanli and Guan Sheng are at odds, and they shirk each other's responsibility for the loss of Dongping Mansion, so I think we can attack Dong'e County and give it a try."

Zhu Long attached great importance to this information, and was about to convene a meeting of the generals, when Wu Yong and Xiao Rang came.

"Strategist, Mr. Xiao, you two are finally here!" Zhu Long was very happy.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "I also brought a fierce general to the lord." ”

Zhu Long saw that this person was more than seven feet tall, with a purple begonia face, a fan-circled beard, and was very powerful.

Zhu Longxi said: "Who is this?" ”

Wu Yong introduced: "This is the head of Yuncheng County, known as the winged tiger, who is righteous and righteous, and his martial arts are very good!" ”

"The villain greets the great officials! The villain was escorted to Jeju because he killed Bai Xiuying, a good friend of Zhixian. Fortunately, the military adviser rescued him, and I hope that the officials will take it in! Lei Heng's posture was very low, and he bowed respectfully.

"I have admired the name of the capital for a long time, and I met today, and I can't ask for it! Come here, set up a banquet, and wash the dust for Lei Dutou! ”

Zhu Long is very happy, Lei Heng is also a fierce general, joining at this time has enhanced the strength of the Zhu family. It's just that I don't know how Zhu Tong is now, didn't he save Lei Heng? Then he should still be his head in Yuncheng County.

He suddenly discovered that there were really a lot of heads in the Zhu family's army, and Wu Song, Li Yun, and now there was another Lei Heng.
