Chapter 162 Stuck in Runcheng
Zhang Shun's departure was silent, but the shock to Runcheng was even greater than Zhang Shun's capture of Runcheng.In the eyes of the common people in Runcheng, a general like Wu Xian is already an officer with strict military discipline. They didn't expect that this "Optimus Prime" captured Runcheng without looting, building silver, and burning. , Just like the legendary Yue Wangye.

Fortunately, there was a clever one, so he pointed out: "Among the thirty-six battalions of thieves, only 'Zie Qingtian' loves the people like a son. I'm afraid this is the legendary righteous bandit!"

There were even a few bold old men who stepped forward to stop Zhang Shun's team.Zhang Shun knew that this was the time to show that he loved the people like a son, and that the soldiers and the people were fish and water, so he quickly got off his horse, took the old man's hand kindly and said: "Why is the old man blocking my way? But did the soldiers under my command break the law and discipline, and harass you? If you have grievances, tell me, and I will uphold justice with you!"

The old man was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he quickly broke free from Zhang Shun's hand, knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhang Shun.Zhang Shun saw that the old man was getting old, how dare he suffer it?Hurry up to support him and not let him bow his head.

The old man said "yes" three times excitedly, then turned his head and shouted to the people in Runcheng who were watching: "I am eighty-three this year, and the blind fortune-teller told me 'eighty-three, the gate of hell; Guan earns ten years'!"

"Today is the old man's birthday. I woke up this morning and heard that the rebels had taken down Runcheng. I thought I couldn't get through this hell. Only now do I know that God has mercy on me! I have lived for so many years. Don't say I have seen it, but I have heard it. I have never heard of it. Which dynasty, which emperor, can have such an army without any crimes! Not to mention the rebel army, even the officers and soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and they only kill people!"

"Now this old man has opened his eyes. Are you the Lord Yue of our Ming Dynasty? Listen to me, old man. Anyway, this old man has lived more than eighty years, and this life is worth it. Some things are not convenient for the old man to say, but I will say it to the old man." !"

"If you want me to say, since 'Yue Wangye' has come to our Runcheng, we have to invite him to sit down and have a glass of wine before leaving. Our Runcheng has been plagued by military disasters over the years, either by bandits or by officials. It's so easy." A good official came and was killed by this 'Yue Wang Ye', presumably this official is not a good official!"

Wu Xian, who was lying on the bullock cart and was dying, almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the words, and was pissed to death on the spot!
But how did the old man know that this "good official" was listening beside him, so he continued: "Why don't you invite this 'Yue Wang Ye' to stay here for a while, anyway, you have to be on guard against an official bandit, do you think it's okay?"

When the people in Runcheng heard it, they couldn't help applauding!They are originally businessmen, unlike others who are ashamed to talk about profit, on the contrary, they put profit first in everything.Previously, Wu Xian was able to protect Runcheng, and everyone contributed money and effort to invite them to station in the city; this time Wu Xian stumbled, and they turned their ideas on Zhang Shun.

As for what to do when the government calls in the future?Are you kidding me, we are good citizens, we were robbed by bandits, what can we do?Besides, what does it matter if you know.Even if you don't know that the officers and soldiers are coming, don't you still loot it?

Looking at the people in Runcheng who saw him as if they were relatives, Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.Who would have thought that the world would be so black and humorous, that bandits were invited by the common people to guard against the harassment of other officers, soldiers and bandits.

It's just that Zhang Shun has a non-profitable temperament, and there is no benefit in doing this kind of thing.He felt that it was not a good deal, but because he stayed in one place for too long, he would be easily spotted by officers and soldiers.

Seeing Zhang Shun's hesitation, Zhang Shenyan quickly persuaded him: "Since ancient times, those who won the hearts of the people won the world. Since the general has aspirations for the world, why don't you stay for two days, so that more people can hear your reputation?"

It turned out that Zhang Shenyan also had common intentions. He felt that he had entered the city with Zhang Shun, and that he had insulted his family's reputation.If it is done anyway in the future, there may be stains.Now if he persuades Zhang Shun to stay in Runcheng for a period of time, it will increase the chances of officers and soldiers discovering Zhang Shun's team, and secondly, he can argue that it is because of his persuasion that the people of Runcheng are saved from war.

It's just that Zhang Shenyan's thinking has not yet begun to show, but he has offended two people.His son Zhang Luxuan couldn't help snorting when he heard the words, and said to the seriously injured Wu Xian in a low voice: "I am ashamed to have such a father!"

Wu Xian was already infuriated by the repetitions of the people in Runcheng, and even more fueled by Zhang Shenyan's words, he couldn't help but become even more annoyed, and he couldn't help saying: "Fortunately, I believed in his evil before, and thought that He is a loyal minister who endures humiliation! Now it seems that he is enjoying himself!"

How did Zhang Shun know that behind him, these two people were chewing their ears.After thinking about it carefully, he found that he really didn't have any urgent things to do at the moment, and it was not impossible to hang out here for two days, so he nodded and agreed to them.

When the people of Runcheng saw this, they couldn't help cheering and running around to tell each other, as if they had encountered a great happy event.

Zhang Shun returned to the original mansion that controlled the Zhang clan, and arranged for the generals and the Zhang clan to live in front of them, and the work was considered complete.At this time, there were more merchants from the city seeking to see them, Zhang Shun did not show arrogance or impatience, and still received them one by one, and inquired about the news nearby.

Zhang Shun received him for a while, and most of the people who came to visit were older, smooth and shrewd people.Zhang Shun hadn't figured out how to use this type of person yet, but another person came in at this time, but he was a thin young man who looked familiar.

Zhang Shun thought about it carefully, and found that he had never seen this person before, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.Without waiting for Zhang Shun to speak, he heard the man laughing and said: "Your Majesty is very elegant, and he still has the heart to hand over merchants here. I wonder if the officers and soldiers outside the city are so urgent?"

Zhang Shun felt even more strange when he saw that he was going to show off his words to him, and he also said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that he won't come, I'm just afraid that they won't throw themselves into the trap!"

The young man was even cunning, seeing that his words did not gain the upper hand, he changed his words and said: "Even if the king's troops are very powerful, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers will stick to the city, and the king will have nothing to do with them, right?"

When Zhang Shun heard that there was something in this man's words, he smiled and said, "What do you call your Excellency? Now that you have mentioned this matter, you must have something to teach me, right?"

The young man heard this, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, dare not! Xiaosheng's surname is Wang and his name is Mu, and the characters are clear. I was originally a child of an official family, but because I offended someone who shouldn't be offended, I have no hope in the officialdom. I wonder if your Excellency is interested in doing some small business in Datong, Zezhou?"

"Oh? What kind of business is it?" Zhang Shun asked without interest. His family was in the business of beheading, so he didn't care about ordinary small businesses.

"firearm!"
