With the successive defeats of Liangshan, Dongping Mansion, Huyanzhuo, Lingzhou, Gaotang Prefecture, and Daimyo's Mansion, the momentum of the Zhujia army is getting bigger and bigger, and Shandong heroes have come to vote, and even some bandits have brought their minions to the village to vote, and those who wish the dragon to come will not refuse, they are all good students to settle down, and hand them over to Yang Zhi and Sun Li to govern, ready to let them take them to Qingzhou and Dengzhou.

There was no shortage of people in Zhujiazhuang, and after capturing Hu Yanzhuo's subordinates and Lingzhou officers and soldiers, there were nearly 10,000 people in the prisoner camp. Chen Shou selected 1,700 people from them, plus his original subordinates, to form a garrison camp of 2,000 people.

There are still more than 8,000 people left, if Zhu Long wasn't worried that they would harm the people if they went out, he would want to let them go, how much food would he have to eat to raise so many people!

Zhu Long is going to discuss with Hu Yanzhuo and Wei Dingguo to send these people back to their hometowns, and now that the construction of bridges, roads, and houses is almost done, Zhu Long doesn't want to raise so many mouths in vain.

However, if there is a fierce future to vote, Zhu Long is still very happy.

On this day, Wu Song reported that a big man named Han Bolong came to vote.

Han Bolong! Zhu Long felt that this name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that he had read it in a book.

This person was originally a good man in the green forest who robbed his house and robbed his house, and he came to Liangshan, but unfortunately Song Jiang was sick and almost hung up, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he opened a hotel on the edge of Liangshanbo, but Li Kui, a killer star, came to eat the overlord's meal and hacked him to death with an axe.

Although Li Kui is suspected of sneak attack, it also shows that this person is not very good, if Li Kui is allowed to sneak attack Wu Song? And then Li Kui met Jiao Ting, and was beaten so that he had no temper at all. A stark contrast can be made.

But since Wu Song informed him, it means that this person has passed Wu Song's test and has entered his eyes, otherwise ordinary people will come to vote and be directly incorporated into the army, and he will not talk to Zhu Long.

Since this is the case, Zhu Long asked people to invite Han Bolong.

"Han Bolong meets the great officials!" As soon as Han Bolong saw Zhulong, he bowed his head.

Zhu Long looked at him, and saw that he was indeed a stout man, Kong Wu was powerful, so he got up to greet him, helped him up, and said, "Brother Han, we will be a family in the future, you don't have to be polite!" Please be seated, come on, and serve a drink! ”

Han Bolong saw that he didn't treat guests with tea, and served wine directly, and felt that Zhu Daguan was really heroic and worthy of his reputation.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Long asked, "I don't know what weapon Brother Han is good at?" ”

"The villain uses a three-pointed two-edged knife and puts it outside the door."

"Can you see it?"

"Then it's ugly!"

Zhu Long shouted outside the door: "Come on, bring in Brother Han's weapon!" ”

A soldier came in with a three-pointed and two-edged knife, and Han Bolong took it from his hand and said, "Sacrifice ugly!" ", and waved it.

Zhu Long looked at it for a moment, applauded, and said insincerely: "Not bad, good martial arts!" What else would you be capable of? ”

Han Bolong stopped and said, "I'm good at water, I can hold my breath in the water for a quarter of an hour!" ”

Only then did Zhu Long understand why Wu Song would bring him to see him, so he said, "That's good! Brother Han, would you like to join my Zhu Jiajun? I declare in advance, I wish the family and the army strict discipline, you regret it now, it's still too late, we are still friends! ”

Han Bolong said: "I am willing to join the Zhujia Army, abide by military discipline, and be willing to be punished if I violate the law!" ”

"Okay, I'll ask General Shan Tinggui to take you to the water division and work under my third brother!"

Zhu Long ordered some wine and food, entertained him to eat and drink, and then summoned Shan Tinggui, and after introducing the two to each other, he said: "General Shan, you will leave for Liangshan Shui with Brother Han tomorrow, and bring this letter to my third brother Zhu Biao." ”

"Yes!" Shan Tinggui hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated: "My five hundred Xuan sailors, all of them are proficient in water nature and good at water warfare, I wonder if the lord can release them and let me take them to the water division?" ”

Zhu Long nodded and agreed, and said, "You go to Captain Chen Shouying, as long as those soldiers are willing to surrender to Zhujiazhuang, you can take them away!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Shan Tinggui thanked him, and then left with Han Bolong.

Not long after they left, someone asked to see them again.

Zhu Longrang brought it in, and the person who came was a stout young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and a square face, who looked a little familiar.

"Adult, the villain is Liu Cheng!" The boy knelt down and said.

Zhu Long suddenly remembered that in Fan Xiupo's case, this young man was the murderer who killed Ye Cao, because Ye Cao abandoned his sister from the beginning, and was pregnant and gave birth to a son, which was given to others.

"Liu Cheng, what are you looking for me?"

"My lord, now there are many bad people out there doing bad things under your banner, and I can't get angry, so I came to tell you!"

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Some ruffian bullies and Xiangma thieves claim to be Zhu's army, robbing people and robbing people's daughters, and the county doesn't dare to take care of it, and the people don't dare to resist! Everyone scolded Zhu Jiajun! ”

Syllable!

Zhu Long slammed a cup on the ground, stood up angrily, and said to Wu Song: "Send someone to invite the military advisor over!" ”

Wu Song sent someone to invite Wu to use.

Zhu Long's face softened, and he said to Liu Cheng: "Thank you for telling me about this situation!" ”

"I know that you are a good person, and you will not condone your subordinates to do this!" Yoo Seung's tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of adoration.

"Do you know where someone is pretending to be my Zhu Jiajun?"

"I know! I'm willing to take you to them! ”

"Good! Would you like to join my Zhu Jiajun? "Zhu Long likes this kid a little.

He first looked surprised, then depressed, lowered his head and said: "I am the only son in my family, and my parents do not allow me to join the army!" ”

"Can you read and write?"

Liu Cheng said embarrassedly: "I have been reading since I was a child, but I don't read well, I like to dance with guns and sticks!" ”

"Isn't there a contradiction between reading and dancing with guns and sticks! You can join the Zhujia army without fighting, you can help me govern the city, or manage property! ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wu used.

"Strategist, there are people outside doing bad things under our banner and ruining our reputation, how can the Secret Guard Battalion not know about such a thing? What do they eat! Zhu Long's voice was a little stern.

Wu Yong was shocked, "There is such a thing?" I'll go back and investigate right away! ”

"Ask this little brother first, he knows a lot!"

"What do you call the little brother, let's take a step to talk......" Wu Yong took Liu Cheng to his office, and Zhu Long knew that with the ruthless methods used by Wu, these people who pretended to be them would end up very miserable.

In the blink of an eye, it's December, it's almost the New Year, the weather is getting colder and colder, the snow on the ground is very thick, and the sky and the earth are white.

Zhu Long was in a restaurant in Shouzhang County, looking at five corpses hanging on the city wall, and a piece of cloth hanging next to it, with big characters written on it:

"Li Liu and Li Daring of Litang Village, Zhang Heizi of Dongshan Village, Chen Laowu and Jin Scar of the county seat, the five of them colluded together, ran rampant on one side, and bullied the good! On October 20, he snatched the daughter of Mrs. He of Hejiazhuang, on October 28, he snatched a cattle from Li Ming's family in Litang Village, and on the fifth day of the first day of November, he bought five jars of old wine from Xujia Hotel with a penny...... After Zhujiazhuang found out the truth, he acted for the heavens, eliminated violence and peace, and sentenced five people to death to set an example! I hope that the wanderers are idle, and those who steal chickens and dogs, and cheat and abduct are taken as a warning! If the neighbors encounter injustice and there is no place to redress their grievances, you can go to Zhujiazhuang and ask the officials to administer justice! ——Zhujiazhuang"

The common people saw it, clapped their hands, praised Zhujiazhuang, and some naughty children used snowballs to smash the corpses hanging on the wall. These bad people, before Zhujiazhuang rebelled, they harmed one party, and the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and now they provoked Zhujiazhuang and kicked to the iron plate, which is really innocent.

Under the leadership of Wu Yong, Zhu Long traveled to many villages and county seats, and saw many similar scenes.

He has no sympathy for these people, in every era, in every place, there are such scumbags, every time there is turmoil, they wear tiger skins and pull the banner, take advantage of the fire to rob, although they are humble and twisted like maggots, but their harm cannot be underestimated!

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations was disgusted with ghosts and ghosts at that time, and its reputation was extremely bad, and from the government to the common people, they were very disgusted with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because many ruffians, bandits and robbers were doing evil under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Of course, Zhu Long will not let this happen, he wants to take revenge on these people with ruthless means, and at the same time let the people know that they did all the bad things, and Zhu Jiajun will not carry these pots.

"What is this for? In broad daylight, there are a few dead people hanging here, and the county master will see it, how unlucky! Apprentices, take these corpses down and drag them to the mass grave and bury them! ”

A giant man nearly a foot tall went upstairs, and with every step, the floor slabs creaked, as if overwhelmed.

A cold light flashed in Wu Song's eyes, and he was about to get up and have a seizure, but Zhu Long held him down, called Xiao Er, rewarded him with a piece of broken silver, and asked, "Who is the big man?" ”

Xiao Er glanced at the giant man and said in a low voice: "This is the famous Optimus Prime Ren Yuan, he is the best at fighting, claiming that 'there is no opponent in the sumo world, and I am the best in the wrestling world', and he has set up a ring in Dongyue Temple, and has not met an opponent for several years!" ”

Wu Song sneered: "Dare to make such a big statement, I will meet him for a while!" ”

Zhu Long was also eager to try, and said, "Let me come, you are on the side." ”

Ren Yuan entered a private room, and the two were about to step forward, when many officials came outside, hugging a sedan chair, and stopped in front of the restaurant.

Could it be that his identity has been exposed?

Zhu Long and Wu Song glanced at each other and asked Xiao Er, "What's the situation below?" Why are there so many servants? ”

Xiao Er smiled and said: "This is the county magistrate of this county, it must be the eldest lord Ren to be the east, and the county magistrate will be invited to the banquet." ”

So it was, Zhu Long and Wu Song sat down and continued to drink, and sure enough, a scribe in civilian clothes came upstairs surrounded by the officials, and Ren Yuan welcomed him into the private room.

The officials stood outside the door, and Zhu Long wanted to hear what they were saying, worried that they were discussing a conspiracy to deal with Zhujiazhuang, after all, Zhujiazhuang was in Shouzhang County.

He beckoned, Xiao Er hurriedly walked over, took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want it?" ”

"I want to!" Xiao Er nodded honestly.

"You help me inquire, what they say in it, it's yours!"

Xiao Er nodded, turned around and went downstairs, stopped a runner on the stairs, and said, "I'll run errands for you for the wine and food in this private room, you look at the other tables!" ”

After speaking, he took a plate of fruit from his hand, went upstairs, and entered the private room, but the official did not stop him.

After a while he came out, and brought in a lot of wine and food, in and out, running up and down, tired and sweating profusely.

He came to Zhulong's table and whispered: "The county master is afraid of Zhujiazhuang and doesn't want to stay in Shouzhang County, so please let the old man speak and transfer to other places." ”

"What's the use of him looking for Ren Yuan?" Zhu Long said strangely.

"Master Ren has relatives in Tokyo who work in the Ministry of Officials."

"That's all?"

"That's all, the rest is nonsense."

"Okay, it's yours!" Zhu Long threw the silver to Xiao Er, and in Xiao Er's thousand thanks, he got up and went downstairs and left.

The streets outside were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the wind carried a biting chill.

Zhu Long saw that Ren Yuan's apprentices were dismantling the corpses hanging on the city wall, stacking them on the carriage, and preparing to drag them to the mass grave outside the city for burial.

"Let's go!" The two of them left Shouzhang County with hats, cloaks, and horses, and headed for Yuncheng County.

Out of the county seat, walking on the official road, the wind and snow outside are heavier.

Zhu Long said happily: "What a heavy snowfall! ”

With such a heavy snowfall, it is very unlikely that the imperial court will send troops to crusade. But Zhu Long was still very vigilant, in addition to Fan Xiu and Lehe inquiring in Tokyo, he also ordered the dark guard battalion to arrange eyes and ears in the surrounding states and counties, if a large group of officers and soldiers came, they could find out in advance.

The training and integration of various units are also being strengthened, especially the dragoons and the guard camps, all of which are elite men selected from the whole army, and each of them is a fierce soldier.

In the evening, the two came to Yuncheng County and found an inconspicuous inn to live in. The shopkeeper was a diligent young man, who led their two horses to the back stables and took care of them carefully.

Wu Song touched his stomach and said, "Is the lord hungry?" Why don't you go out and find a restaurant? ”

Zhu Long said: "I'm also a little hungry, but there will be friends coming to me, it's not appropriate to go out, you go to the back kitchen to have a look, let the shopkeeper mess around with some food." ”

Wu Songnuo sighed, turned around and went out. He shouted twice, but when he saw no one in the back, he went to the back kitchen, and was about to step in, when he saw a good-looking woman come out.

The woman screamed "ah" and hid back into the house.

Wu Song hurriedly took two steps back, turned around, turned his back to the kitchen, and said loudly: "I am a guest staying in the hotel, please cook some rice, wine and meat, and calculate it for you together with the room money tomorrow." ”

After a while, no one responded, and Wu Song was about to walk away, when the woman inside suddenly spoke, "There are only some pickles, you can make some rice." ”

"Forget it!"

After Wu Song finished speaking, he strode away, walked out of the inn, came to the dim street, braved the wind and snow, found a restaurant, bought a jar of wine, two catties of sauce beef, two roast chickens, and a few braised vegetables, wrapped them in lotus leaves, dropped two taels of silver, carried wine in one hand, and vegetables in the other, and returned to the inn against the wind and snow.

"Blessed with a mouth!" Zhu Long smiled, and the two put the wine and meat on the table and drank each other.
