Chapter 372 Thieves catch thieves
Since Zhang Shun occupied Lu's County, he dispatched people every day to find a place of refuge among the deep mountains and ravines.

With nothing to do, Zhang Shun, apart from socializing and monitoring the three surnames of Wang, Li, Lu and Bai County Magistrate in the city, also deliberately called in the fish scale books in the county government office to check.He found that Lu's county seat was only four miles around, and it was a small county seat, but its administrative households were thirty-two miles away.

One hundred and ten households were under the jurisdiction of one mile in the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, the registered population of the Lu family was [-] households.Although this place is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, it has a large area, a suitable climate, and a large population.

What's more, this book was compiled during the period of Emperor Hongwu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty. Although there are more inspections in later generations, it has generally not changed much.However, according to the past dynasties, after the end of the war, the population will experience an explosive growth, and the actual population of the county may be more than four or five times that of the registered population.

Just as Zhang Shun was furiously supplementing relevant information about Lushi County, there was a sudden knock at the door.Wukong pushed the door and entered, ran in and shouted loudly: "It's not good, master!"

Zhang Shun was startled when he heard the words, quickly put down his books, stood up and asked, "Why are you panicking? But there are officers and soldiers coming to attack?"

"That's not true!" Wukong scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

As soon as Zhang Shun heard that the situation was not urgent, he knew that this guy was taken aback again.He stabilized his mind before shouting sharply: "What's the matter? Why are you so panicked!"

"Master, your servant Liu Yinggui was captured by a thief. The thief said that he wanted you to pay three hundred taels of silver to redeem him. Why don't you just cut him off and kill him immediately! That Liu Yinggui always liked to play with me. I was afraid that he would be killed." After that, no one will play with me."

Zhang Shun laughed angrily when he heard the words: "Who is so bold? How dare you tie me under the command of my majestic King Shun!"

It turned out that Liu Yinggui followed Zhang Shun's order these few days and led a dozen people to look for that safe place.This person is his grandfather Liu Laotou's servant dedicated to Zhang Shun. Although he is not very clever, he is honest and the most loyal, and he is quite trusted by Zhang Shun.

He did the same thing this time, not daring to slack off.Along the way, he climbed mountains and ridges, inquiring and searching everywhere.

I never thought that Liu Yinggui was young and ignorant, and he didn't know how to cover up, so he accidentally violated a local taboo.

It turns out that seventy or eighty miles southeast of Lushi County, there is Baozhen Mountain, and there is a Baodu Village on the mountain.There is a village owner named Chen Taojin in this village, who was originally a big local family.

Just because he accidentally heard that a villager had discovered a gold mine nearby, he tied him up.Torture day and night, wait until the location of the torture, then kill the person and take the gold mine.In order to prevent others from getting their hands on this gold mine, this guy simply gathered two or three hundred miners, servants, and farmers to protect the gold mine on the one hand, and to commit murder, robbery, rape and robbery on the other.

This guy did all the bad things and was reported.In order to avoid the encirclement and suppression by the government, he led these miners, local ruffians and others to build a Baodu village on Baoyu Mountain in front of Zhuangzi.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The government's encirclement and suppression were defeated by him several times, so this person became more and more rampant.

On that day, Liu Yinggui led his soldiers to Sanchuanji, not far from Baodu Village, to investigate the surrounding terrain, and this fellow learned about it.Then Liu Yinggui spoke with a foreign accent, he only thought that the spies from the government came to look for him, so he led thirty or fifty gangsters to lie in ambush on the road that Liu Yinggui must pass.

Liu Yinggui was caught off guard, and the soldiers under his command were not wearing armor, so they were immediately defeated by the opponent.Except for two or three people who escaped, the rest were either killed or captured by the opponent.

After this fellow captured Liu Yinggui and others, after interrogation, he learned that he had captured the wrong person, so he wanted to kill them casually.

Liu Yinggui used to be as honest as a piece of wood, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "I am a servant of a rich family. In the past few days, my family officials have returned from the capital and are preparing to return home in fine clothes. We are looking for a beautiful place to build a mountain villa to settle If you want money, you can send a letter to Lu's County, the Patriarch will definitely let you not be in vain!"

Then Chen Taojin couldn't help being happy when he heard the words: "You have a son by yourself, how can it be worth the ransom of the master?"

Liu Yinggui said quickly: "I belong to the old master, and now I am following the young master to do business. First, to help him, and second, to supervise him for the old master. If I die easily, the old master will definitely blame me."

Chen Taojin couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words: This is really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.My parents didn't give me a good name of "Gold Rush" for nothing, so it's suitable for me, Chen, to get rich!
Therefore, Chen Taojin selected one of the captured soldiers, cut off his left ear, and released him back to Lu's County, and asked him to talk to Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun didn't believe what Wukong said.Liu Yinggui has followed him for many days, like a dull gourd, how could he say such words?
When Zhang Shun saw the soldier whose ear had been cut off, an unknown karma erupted.

This soldier was brave, and although his head had just been bandaged briefly, he didn't make a sound.It's just that his black face turned pale due to excessive blood loss.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but exclaimed: "A real man! What do you call him?"

The man resisted the pain and replied: "A humble name is not worth mentioning, but it is a shame to be hurt by the hands of a thief! I will not kill this thief, and I will not be a human being. If the general wants to remember me as an unknown person, call me 'one Ear' it!"

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, although it was a little out of place, he still couldn't help but secretly said: "I hope you won't meet someone nicknamed 'Black Cat Sheriff' in your life!"

Seeing that his injury was not serious, Zhang Shun quickly let him go down to rest.Then he summoned all the generals and asked, "How should we deal with this matter?"

Song Xiance stood up and said: "This matter is easy to hear. The Lord's army is here to win the crowd. If you ignore it, you will show cowardice, and you will definitely be underestimated by other powerful clans! What's more, Grandpa Liu Yinggui and the Lord There is a life-saving grace, if you don't save it, it's not in the world!"

Zhang Shun nodded when he heard the words, this is really his opinion, but he still hopes that other generals will also express their opinions.One person counts short and two counts long, so you can check for gaps and fill in gaps, and make a comprehensive plan.Second, the people under my command who don't know much about the world, just take this opportunity to slowly cultivate the habit of thinking and planning in them.

Sure enough, Zhang Shenyan also stood up and said: "Mr. Song's words are true. It's just that we are a strong dragon, and this Chen Taojin is a local snake. Since ancient times, strong dragons have not suppressed local snakes. This matter should be discussed in the long run. In my opinion, We should first find out the identity, background and strength of this person before making any calculations."

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?" Zhang Shun asked quickly when he heard something in his words.

"This incident happened suddenly, maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe it was the big family of the Lu family who took the opportunity to test the general's strength. Therefore, I think this matter must be dealt with with a thunderbolt, and this staff member must be dealt with cleanly, so as to deter other evildoers. generation!"

Zhang Shun nodded when he heard the words, and agreed: "Mr. Zhang is really an old man who seeks the country, what he said is very true."

I didn't think about it, but this remark annoyed one person, only to hear him snort coldly, and said: "What kind of old-fashioned seeker is a person who flirts with his beard and flattery? In my opinion, some young people don't have much knowledge. Just carry out the red Barbarian cannons, bombarded indiscriminately, under the whole nest, will there be any eggs?"

Zhang Shun turned his head and saw that it was none other than Zhang Daojun who rarely spoke out after joining Zhang Shun's camp.
