Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 32: Making money and catching the tiger

Taoist priest Ma looked at it with his eyes and told Zhang Shun not to use this drug of unknown origin. Zhang Shun thought about it for a while and felt that there was no problem. I have no enmity with this person, and I don’t have the ability to trust people. How can I manage thousands of subordinates in the future? What's more, if you don't act like this, how can you convince others? So, he thanked him and asked Taoist Master Ma to apply it on him.

Taoist Master Ma poured out the medicine, which was in the form of white powder, and applied it to the wound. Zhang Shun actually felt that the pain was relieved, and he didn't know if it was because of the psychological effect. At this time, Taoist Ma sent someone to bring a cloth strip and was about to wrap it around Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was startled when he saw it and said quickly: "This cloth strip needs to be boiled before it can be used."

It was inconvenient for Taoist Master Ma to ask anything in front of outsiders. At this time, Wukong had returned. Taoist Master Ma asked him to guard Zhang Shun while he sent people to collect firewood and boil water. When Xiao Qinhu saw that Zhang Shun trusted him so much, he was indeed a good man, and he was quite impressed. To be fair, if the roles were reversed, I might not be able to act like this person.

At this time, Zhang Shun took the time to endure the pain and asked them what happened to Chen Changzhen and Xiao Qinhu, and why the tiger got on top of him.

So, the two of them told him everything in detail. After listening to the two people's stories, Zhang Shun felt really sorry for Husky. If I hadn't reacted in time, I might have been buried in the tiger's belly, and would have become the "shame of the time traveler". On the one hand, he couldn't help but feel angry at Chen Changzhen's carelessness in doing things, but on the other hand, he was amazed at the two's superb shooting skills.

He took a closer look at Xiao Qinhu and saw that this man was in his mid-twenties, eight feet tall, burly and muscular, and was dressed in green clothes. He had a necklace of unknown animal teeth hanging around his neck, and a chain around his waist. The tiger tail looks majestic. Looking at his appearance, his face is full of flesh, his eyes are like copper bells, and he has a pair of beards on his chin. The whole person looks like a fierce tiger. He really has the image of a fierce general.

Zhang Shun thought to himself: I have heard of Pei Qinhu and Han Qinhu in my previous life. They are both heroes in the world. Since this man is called Xiao Qinhu, he is tall and has excellent archery skills. He should not be an ordinary person. He can be my hero. Also used. He was determined to subdue this man and said, "Since you are determined to take the blame for Chen Changzhen, do you know what punishment this man should receive?"

"Please give me your permission." Xiao Qinhu was unafraid.

"If you follow the rules in the army and I order him to hunt a tiger, but he fails to hunt the tiger and injures the commander, he should be punished! If according to the rules in the family, if the following commits a crime and the servant injures the master, he will not be beaten to death!" Zhang Shun shouted sternly! .

"Lord!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly begged for mercy. Zhang Shun raised his palm and waved his hand, but no one dared to speak. Zhang Shun had not noticed at this time that as he led the people to seize Mengjin, cross the Yellow River, break Meng County, and cross Taihang through various actions in the past few days, he had already accumulated prestige in the hearts of everyone.

"Once a man has said something, it is difficult to chase him. I ask you to convict him." Xiao Qinhu is not stupid. He knows that this man said such words to scare himself. If he really wanted to kill someone, he would have ordered his subordinates to kill him. He was beaten to death with sticks, so there was no need to pretend here.

"My lord, this must not be done. If one person does something, one person is responsible. Please ask the lord to punish Changzhi." Chen Changzhi became anxious upon hearing this and quickly begged for mercy.

"Hahaha! This man is really a righteous man!" Zhang Shun laughed, then turned to look at everyone and continued, "My parents are also kind and righteous people, and they are all heroes! How can I do this to such a person? What about killing them?"

"Lord, Shengming!" Taoist Master Ma immediately made a flattering comment.

"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! Since we have become an army, we should be rewarded for our merits and punished for our mistakes! Chen Changzhen disobeyed military orders and caused the commander to be injured. He should be punished with twenty sticks and three months of hard work. Nian Xiao captured The tiger bears some of the blame, so the two of them can share the blame, one can handle ten sticks, and they will work in the rear for a month and a half, do you two have any objections?"

"Lord, Changzhi took the blame for this crime on his own, so why bother others?" Chen Changzhen felt baffled as to why an outsider was involved. This was unreasonable, and it was not in line with his principle of one person doing things and one person taking responsibility.

Zhang Shun showed it with his eyes and said, "If Brother Xiao doesn't want to, you can bear all the blame."

"Your Majesty, Xiao has been punished for this crime." Xiao Qinhu saw that this crime was much lighter than the crime of beheading, and also considered that Chen Changzhen had to be punished with twenty sticks with a real stick, and he would be forced to work for another three months, so he would not be injured by the stick. The attack occurred and he died.

Xiao Qinhu was often invited by wealthy families to hunt wild beasts and look after their homes and courtyards. He knew very well that these wealthy families were ruthless and ruthless. At that time, his servants and tenant farmers were unjustly killed, so he was determined to protect him. He knew that there were some ruthless and large households who specially hired some "full-time officials" in the government.

These eagle and dog people, who practice cane training on weekdays, use straw to make two dummies. Bricks are placed in a straw, and paper is wrapped around a straw. After the practice, the scarecrow with bricks looked very light, but in fact it was broken. The scarecrow wrapped with paper seemed to be hit very hard, but in fact the paper was not even broken. In this case, these wealthy families can pretend to be benevolent and righteous, while at the same time killing their slaves with the rod at will.

However, Xiao Qinhu only knew one thing but not the other. Little did he know that the "big family" in front of him was even more ruthless and wanted to get him to join the gang.

In the Ming Dynasty, the cane was made of a large thorn stick, with the ends cut off. It was three feet and five inches long, with the diameter of the big head being two-thirds and the diameter of the small head being two-and-a-half. Originally, the cane punishment was carried out on the back, legs, and buttocks separately, but in the Song Dynasty, it was carried out on the spine and buttocks separately. In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, because the spine was close to the heart and soul, it was forbidden to hit the back, so all the cane punishments were to hit the buttocks.

Zhang Shun didn't know it at first, but he didn't know it until Liu Yinggui brought the freshly cut wattle sticks in accordance with the regulations and was about to take off the pants of Chen Changzhen and Xiao Qinhu. He quickly stopped them and said, "These are all strong men. How can they be humiliated by ordinary people? Let's hit them on the back instead!"

He also saw that the large wattle tree that had just been cut was relatively thick. According to the weights and measures of later generations, it was basically a little over one meter long, with one end ten centimeters thick and one end seven centimeters thick. It is said to be a wattle stick, but in fact it is a wooden stick. Then he ordered: "With such a wooden stick, hitting the back will almost kill a person. Let's replace it. It can be as thick as a thumb."

Liu Yinggui was ordered to leave. Everyone praised Zhang Shun's benevolence and righteousness, which made Zhang Shun feel a little embarrassed. By this time, the strips of cloth had been cooked, and Taoist Master Ma came over personally to bandage Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was in severe pain and was embarrassed to show his teeth in public. So he looked for something to distract his attention and asked: "Although this place is surrounded by high mountains, has a large population, and is constantly crowded with people, why are there tigers?"

Xiao Qinhu saw that this man was really benevolent and righteous, and he was different from the common wealthy people, so he told the truth: "Actually, this matter happened because of me."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Zhang Shun became interested.
