Rise From the Humble

After the prisoner was freed, the story of Zhu Pingan's miraculous solution to the unsolved case quickly spread throughout Jingnan County and spread to surrounding prefectures and counties. Zhu Pingan's name was mentioned more and more times among the people.

However, in the process of word-of-mouth transmission, it somehow took on the color of myth as it was passed down from generation to generation. It was said that the new county magistrate could connect the yin and yang, cut off the human world during the day, and cut off the yin at night; the new county magistrate was the number one scholar, It's because Wenquxing came down to earth, and he has his immortal brothers in heaven to help him, etc...

"What a bunch of idiots. He, Zhu Ping'an, was so unlucky that he just tried a case. This group of stupid and stupid people actually gave him the title of "connecting with yin and yang, Wen Quxing descending to earth, and having immortal brothers in the sky!" If he, Zhu Pingan, If Ping An has another piece of shitty luck, these idiots and stupid people will not be able to blow Zhu Ping An to the sky!"

After Zhang Xiancheng heard the legend of Zhu Pingan's magical solution to the unsolved case, he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.

"The little county magistrate was just unlucky. When he met a thief who was less courageous than a mouse, he was scared out of his wits... He arrested twelve suspects at once. What does he know about investigating cases? It's a big joke in the world. It's bullshit to cut off Yin and Yang, these common people who do good things are really a bunch of idiots."

"Fantasy about whatever is missing. Jingnan has been short of decent magistrates for a long time. Believe it or not, even if a dog is wearing a black gauze hat and sitting in the main hall, these stupid people will still blow the dog into a blue sky. If the yin and yang are not balanced, it will be said that the barking dog is still alive, and there is Erlang God in the sky to help."

"That's right, that's right..."

As the licking dogs of Zhang Xiancheng, the six-room subordinate staff are all excited and sharp-tongued Zhu Ping'an.

Just some bad luck? !

not necessarily!

Chief Yao didn't see it that way. Although he also agreed with Zhang Xiancheng and joined everyone in scolding the people for being ignorant and cursing Zhu Pingan for his bad luck, he was secretly jealous of Zhu Pingan in his heart. During the trial that day, Zhu Ping'an left a deep impression on him, and it couldn't be explained by simple luck.

In any case, after the rapid investigation of the serial theft case, Zhu Ping'an's name was mentioned more and more times in the mouths of the people in Jingnan County. People feel that this time, this county magistrate seems to be really different from the previous ones. People have renewed hope for the future.

Just when the people of Jingnan were rekindling their hopes, the sea more than ten miles away from Jingnan was covered with black sails. Large ships, small boats, smuggling ships, merchant ships, armed ships and other ships were mixed together. Flags were mixed and stretched for several miles. It seems to be boundless, embracing the sunshine, driving the dark clouds, breaking through the waves, cutting through the waves, and moving towards the shore with a fierce and murderous speed.

"Into the れる, into the れる, もうじきだよ."

"Oh, I finally saw the coast. Today, Lao Tzu is going to kill a happy and happy."

"Haha, you can have fun again"

"Kill, kill."

"Hurry up, hurry up."

As the unkind fleet speeds forward, various dialects, birdsong, and obscene words are heard on the ship, resounding across the sea.

The closer you are, the better you can see. In this fleet, there are hundreds of people on large ships, dozens of people on medium ships, and more than ten people on small boats. With so many ships surrounded by darkness, a rough calculation suggested that there must be at least seven or eight thousand people.

Everyone on the ship is carrying weapons. The weapons are not uniform. Some are old and new. There are Japanese knives, spears, broadswords, harpoons, butcher knives, bows and arrows, shields, and even many blunderbuss. .

Although the dialects of these people are mixed, some speak the coastal dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and some speak the Japanese language, their clothing and appearance are generally uniform, and almost all of them are Kuntou and Japanese clothes. It's just that some people have more standard and natural radices, with bare feet on the radices, crotchless pants, talking in bird songs, and holding a Japanese sword three feet high at the waist. They are very fierce. This type of people accounts for almost a small half; some are simple. Their hair is cut and painted, their buns are pushed back, and they speak the coastal dialect of the Ming Dynasty. They look very nondescript, and more than half of them are of this type.

Obviously, these people are Japanese pirates. There was a mixture of real Japanese and fake Japanese on the fleet. Those Japanese who sang like birds were real Japanese, and those who looked like Japanese but spoke in the coastal dialect of the Ming Dynasty were fake.

The reason why the fake Japanese imitate the Japanese "kun head and bare feet", wear Japanese clothes, and imitate the Japanese in every aspect is not only the reason of using the flag as a tiger skin, but also a more important reason, which is to conceal their identity.

The "Da Ming Code" issued by Emperor Hongwu imposes particularly strict restrictions on overseas trade. It is strictly forbidden to carry iron goods, copper coins, satin, silk and other prohibited items into the sea without permission. Anyone who trades with foreigners will be executed if caught. It is also a capital offense for private citizens to build large sailing ships with more than two masts. As for those who colluded with the Japanese to burn, kill and plunder the Ming Dynasty, such as the fake Japanese, it was a heinous and serious crime of "treason and treason", and their punishment was even more severe. Anyone who committed "treason and treason" would be executed in Lingchi. The grandfathers, fathers, sons, grandsons, uncles, brothers, nephews and cousins ​​of the same sect, as well as the grandfathers, father-in-laws and sons-in-law of relatives of different surnames, including servants in the family, all over the age of sixteen will be executed.

Therefore, in order not to be implicated by the nine tribes, these fake Japanese who became Japanese pirates tried every means to conceal their identities. They not only hid their real names, but also imitated Japanese, shaved their hair, wore Japanese clothes, and pretended to be Japanese.

In the center of this fleet, there are three armed smuggling ships, all flying Japanese flags. On the middlemost and largest armed merchant ship, three Japanese pirate leaders were sitting around the table facing each other.

"The fake monk Xu Hai intended to assassinate Wang Zhi, but was discovered by Wang Zhi. Now they are at war with each other and have no time to care about us. Tiejingang and Heihachiro, we just took this opportunity to plunder and strengthen ourselves, and we will attack again in the future. If you go to them, you will have more confidence.”

The leader of the Japanese pirates in the middle reached out to pick up the wine bowl and offered a large bowl to the other two Japanese pirate leaders.

"Master Shen is right. Over the past year, Wang Zhi and his men have made us breathless. We finally got this opportunity, and we can't let it go. Wang Zhi and the others ate meat and drank wine, and we drank. The soup should not be too much." The Japanese pirate leader on the right had a beard. He drank the wine in one gulp and reached out to wipe the wine from his beard.

"Xingxi, Master Shen, Tiejingang, you are right. We have to have a good time this time. Your Ming Dynasty is extremely rich and your women are extremely good. My sons and daughters have long been hungry and thirsty."

The Japanese pirate on the left is a real Japanese, with a bare head and bare feet, wearing a large armor, and wearing what is called "unsuitable" in Chinese. There is a three-foot Japanese sword on the left waist, and a shovel-shaped sword standing in front of the right waist. Star pocket.
