After leaving the monastery, everyone followed Zhu Wenkui to a temporary camp outside the city.

There are a lot of people gathered here, and they are all busy in their own way. Seeing Zhu Wenkui coming back, everyone came to greet him, blocking the gate to the ground.

"My God, you are all so popular with the people." Tuhuan couldn't enter the gate directly, so he could only sigh outside: "I thought Guo Kanganda was outrageous......

"It's not my job. It's hers. Zhu Wenkui pointed to a girl with a red headscarf in the crowd: "I haven't done anything in the past few days, and I've been cleaning up the ruins of the palace and sorting out the things in the workshop." She is responsible for organizing everyone's patrol and work. ”

"Who is this, I haven't seen much of it?" Tuohuan asked.

"Oh, that man's name is Tang Sai'er, and he was just invited by the church." Guo Kang looked at it and said, "When Master Wang walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, he got to know a lot of ...... Religious people. Someone introduced them. ”

"Who taught them?" Dehuan said curiously.

"Taught by the White Lotus." Guo Kang said.

"Oh......" Tuhuan nodded and said, "That's not an ordinary person, right?" It's not easy to organize so many people. ”

"Luckily, she's got a team with her. Captain Jeska, too, is here to help. Zhu Wenkui said modestly.

"Then you're underestimating her. This guy is amazing. Guo Kang shook his head and said, "I heard that she fought with your four grandfathers back then." It is not easy for a little girl of this age to run out of the battle array. ”

"That's pretty impressive." Zhu Wenkui complained: "It's much better than my father." My father thought that the fourth grandfather was coming to him, but he was so frightened that he ran away without meeting. She's even taken a picture of her......"

“……”

Guo Kang could understand his resentment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Moreover, this guy is probably used to being a thief, and he is very arrogant on weekdays. They also set up private courts to execute gangsters they caught. Zhu Wenkui continued to say to Tuohuan: "I told her, this kind of thing can be big or small, if someone catches the handle, she is afraid that she will not be able to mix it up here, and she will have to run away with me." It's a pity that she doesn't listen much, and she still goes her own way. ”

"Not really." Captain Jeska next to him immediately helped explain: "Miss Tang is just following the habit of setting up a spear court. I asked Captain Lucas, and he said that this was a custom in the auxiliaries, and it was not considered a violation of the law, and lynchings were established. So, it's not that exaggerated. ”

"Spear court? I think it was the German mercenaries who used it to deal with people in the army who made big mistakes. Guo Kang said curiously: "The gangsters she killed were also from my side before?" How much more? ”

"No, what we are dealing with are some lawbreakers in the city who have been entrenched at the grassroots level for a long time and have been doing evil all year round." Captain Jeska replied: "It is true that these people are not members of the auxiliary, but what we use is not the traditional kind of the German region, let the sinners go in the middle, and everyone will poke according to their own will; It's the Ming style, which combines the elements of dueling, and is the fairer kind. ”

"The Ming Dynasty also has a spear court?" Tuohuan looked surprised.

"That's what you say." Zhu Wenkui told him: "When my great-grandfather was in power, there was a thousand families who embezzled military salaries and starved to death a hundred military households. Grandpa Tai was very angry, but he allowed him to defend himself because he had merit. Then let his men draw out a hundred soldiers, also with spears, and fight him together. Everyone depends on their own ability to decide whether to live or die. ”

As a result, the thousand households did not fight a hundred spear-wielding soldiers, and they were poked into a sieve by random guns on the spot. This can only blame himself for his ability, and the other nobles can't say anything. It's fair to everyone. ”

"yes." Captain Jeska also helped: "The discipline of the Ming army is so good, it can starve people to death like this......"

"Huh?" Guo Kang didn't react for a while.

"You see, their army can starve to death." Captain Jeska said as a matter of course: "If it were my old employer, the soldiers would definitely rob the surrounding villages." Someone may be killed by the villagers, or deserted, but starvation is certainly impossible. I've looked for work in many countries in Europe, but I've never seen an army like this. The discipline of the Ming army is really outrageous. These military households must be very capable of fighting. ”

"Uh......" Guo Kang didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You also learned from the Ming Dynasty, did you do this?" Dehuan next to him hurriedly asked.

"yes." Zhu Wenkui said: "We also issued spears to the captured person and allowed him to defend himself. Then let everyone sign up, whoever has been mutilated by this person on weekdays and is willing to gamble his life to make accusations can also receive a spear. After the trial begins, the two sides will engage in a duel, and life and death will depend on the Father's decision. ”

"However, the gang leaders on our side are very angry. Often hundreds of people fight one. After the duel began, because there were too many people, people outside often couldn't squeeze in, so they could only do it in a hurry. In the end, they all turned into whip corpses......"

"After all, this is the way of the Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to use. Everyone is very positive. Captain Jaska also said, "You can ask everyone, many people are still unsatisfied. ”

"Since the people's anger is so great, it's better for them to vent." Tuhuan thought about it, but nodded: "However, after the ban is lifted in the city in a few days, you won't do it again." ”

"Okay, then we must speed up the next few days and kill the rest of them so that we don't cause you trouble." Zhu Wenkui hurriedly responded.

"Go and call Miss Tang over." As he spoke, he turned back and asked people to call Tang Sai'er.

Soon, Tang Sai'er and a group of helpers around him also rushed over and greeted them.

"How's it going? So exciting. Seeing her elated, Guo Kang asked.

"It's okay, in the past few days, dozens of thieves who wanted to hide in the crowd have been caught, and all of them have been killed by us." Tang Sai'er said happily: "There is another surprise." The murderer of the little boy before has also been found out by us. ”

"Oh?" Hearing her say this, Guo Kang didn't think for a while: "Isn't Alexander already dead?" ”

"Alexander and his men were hands-on; A master of the Wang family is covering them. The old man's butler provided them with a place. All of them are dead, but the priests who organized the cult's rituals and the merchants who helped them connect with each other have all absconded before. Yesterday, I found them. Tang Sai'er said: "I don't know, whether this is the end of the catch." ”

"Hey, I'm afraid this organization has been operating for a long time. There are also quite a few people. Guo Kang thought for a while: "There are so many people, each with its own role, I can't tell who is the real leader who should be killed." ”

"Of course they should all be killed." Tang Sai'er looked at him with some surprise: "Otherwise, can you still let it go?" ”

"Uh......" Guo Kang was speechless for a while, and felt that it made sense: "Where are they?" Take me to see it. ”

"They're all dead." Tang Sai'er told him: "Everyone is so angry, I can't stop it, so they go." I also cut out the hearts and livers of those two people and sacrificed the dead brother and sister. If you want to see it, go to the new cemetery. Their hearts and livers should still be hanging on the cross of those two children. ”

"I think I've crossed the line a bit, and I'm more ......extreme than me," Guo Kang muttered.

"Oh, I'm a rebel thief, I haven't learned well since I was a child, don't compare with me." Tang Sai'er didn't care at all: "I told your sister yesterday that in the future, this kind of murderous act can be done by me, and your hands will not be dirty." ”

"Why did she come here?" Guo Kang asked unexpectedly.

"Uh...... Just casually chatted with us about the aftermath and didn't say anything. Tang Sayer tried to cover it up, but her lying skills were too clumsy to hide it.

However, since she didn't want to say it anyway, Guo Kang couldn't continue to ask, so she could only forget it first.

"To be honest, I always felt that these gangs were also part of the social order. If it can appear, it means that the government is unable to maintain order at the grassroots level. Therefore, these gangs themselves have become a supplement to the government. He was a little emotional, and said to everyone: "In this case, the gang should have a certain popular will and foundation among the civilians. Because the gangsters also play a role in maintaining basic order, and even the order of the gangs is always better than no order. ”

"It stands to reason that even if it is to buy people's hearts, we should appropriately relax the oppression of the people in some aspects. Many gangs like to create an atmosphere of 'morality' and 'promise-keeping' internally, also to show people that they are here to maintain order and that they can cover everyone when they encounter problems. ”

"But these gangsters in our city are too outrageous. They don't pay attention to their roots at all, and treat the people harshly than the government. He shook his head: "I really don't know what they think. ”

"You're talking about the ideal gang, but that's certainly not the case." Tang Sai'er shook his head: "I heard from Mr. back then, the emperor and the officials and lords have long known how important the people are and how terrible the people's rebellion is. The old masters told them these great truths every day, and the good emperors and good officials in the past often left stories of this kind of persuasion. But you see, they still can't remember. ”

"Moreover, the government will be corrupt, let alone these gangs. I also led the congregation, how can I say it......" She shook her head: "When there are few people, if you can manage it yourself, it's okay." But as long as there are many people, you will have all the problems of the government. ”

"When our team was only a few thousand, some people didn't learn well, relying on themselves to become a teacher, and some people supported themselves to rob the things of the villagers, and I cut a dozen people to stop. Those gangs, it's not as good as us. If you think about it, what they did was as good as they said. ”

"I asked the people here before, according to what they said, now these gangs, many of which were in the limelight and began to rise when your father guarded the capital, have been corrupted for more than ten years now; The one who took the lead in the rebellion this time was organized by some old gangs squeezed out of the chaotic urban area at that time when your uncle was reorganizing the urban structure. That's why they have so many connections. Tang Sai'er told Guo Kang: "Look at it, how can these people do good deeds." ”

"And it's also a gang of Rus......" Zhu Wenkui muttered.

"Well, that's true." Guo Kang sighed: "I haven't thought about this before......"

"Just learn more and learn more." Tang Sai'er said oldly: "I have also seen a lot with my own eyes, and I have heard a lot of truths. If you see more, you will know how big the gap is between the scriptures and reality. ”

"He also told me that his grandfather and grandfather will think about the people." She pointed at Zhu Wenkui: "If you say this kind of thing, you have to think about it yourself." ”

"They...... I did think about it. Zhu Wenkui defended: "No matter how you say it, the foundation of the imperial court is still a large number of people. Even if you need to take care of and appease the nobles and bureaucrats so that the family can work, you must definitely take care of the common people relatively more. Otherwise, isn't it the same as the Yuan Dynasty? ”

"Then I'm relatively loyal to the court." Tang Sai'er immediately sneered: "We are just against the corrupt officials in the province, why is the imperial court still suppressing it?" ”

“……”

Zhu Wenkui couldn't turn around for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Miss Tang, Miss Tang." Captain Jeska hurriedly said: "I said it before, don't keep 'him' and 'you'. Our son is also a nobleman and has a title. Forget it on weekdays, but now there are so many people......"

"I really don't know what to say." Tang Sai'er spread his hands: "I just made his family rebel, so I can't still call him the prince." But everyone makes a living in Tessie, and we have to work together, not to mention that we are still hired by him to work, which is not hostile, and we can't shout too badly. In this way, I don't know what it's called, so I just don't shout anything. ”

"Your rebellion has nothing to do with me." Zhu Wenkui immediately said: "I'm not sensible yet, so I was brought here." No matter who persecuts you, I haven't done it anyway. ”

"That's your family, too." Tang Sai'er retorted: "Your fourth grandfather came up and smoked me, beating me half to death, and almost lost my breath." I haven't settled this account yet, or you can accompany me to fight a few times, so as not to itch my hands. ”

"I'm not going to pester you little girl. This one of my family is probably not good at fighting, and my father and I can't do it anyway. It's not a good thing to beat me. Zhu Wenkui waved his hand again and again to refuse: "And he has a son of his own, you go to them." His family likes to fight, so you can play with each other......"

"Alright, alright." Guo Kang and others hurriedly persuaded him. Fortunately, the two of them were just joking, and they didn't want to come to the real thing. Soon, the crowd dispersed, and everyone entered the camp, ready to visit Princess Ma and the others.
