Rise From the Humble

Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun's unannounced visit to Jingnan and Taiping could be said to have gained nothing, or it could be said to have gained a lot.

Nothing was gained because during this unannounced visit, Zhu Ping'an was not found to have committed any act of killing good people and taking credit for his good deeds.

There was a great harvest, also because during this unannounced visit, Zhu Ping'an was not found to have committed any act of killing good people and taking credit for his good deeds. This further confirms the authenticity of Zhu Ping'an's great achievements in defending Jingnan and capturing 795 Japanese pirate heads, and in regaining peace and capturing 29 Japanese pirate heads. Zhu Ping'an's great contribution is real. The losses caused by the Japanese invasion of Taizhou Prefecture were reduced by nearly half this time, and he also achieved two great achievements. In this way, his political career has been saved. In this way, wouldn’t it be a great harvest!

After Tan Lun and his party returned to Taizhou Fucheng, they received reports from people below that Jingnan County had sent more than 800 heads of Japanese pirates to Taizhou Fucheng. At the same time, they also sent two pieces of paper stamped with the seal of Jingnan County Magistrate. A battle report document, a request for tax exemption and reduction, and a request for a silver reward for first contribution.

After Tan Lun received the news, he took Zuo Zhen without saying a word and went to inspect the Japanese pirate heads sent from Jingnan.

There were more than 800 Japanese pirate heads, which was not a small number. After receiving the Japanese pirate heads from Jingnan, the government officials were worried about where to store them, and finally placed them in the courtyard outside the prison, densely packed all over the yard.

There is not much room for Japanese pirate heads to set foot in a courtyard.

Anyone who enters the courtyard and sees this scene will get goosebumps all over their body. If you are timid, your legs may be weak.

When Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, entered the courtyard and saw the heads of Japanese pirates in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be excited. He took a deep breath before returning to his usual calm and calm appearance, and walked slowly into the courtyard.

Zuo Zhen, who was behind Tan Lun, couldn't help but get goosebumps at this moment, even though he was from the military.

Two officials from the government office were inspecting the heads of Japanese pirates in the yard. Each held a Japanese pirate head in his hand. The head still retained the ferocious appearance of the Japanese pirate before his death. The two officials did not take it seriously at all, just as if they were looking at antiques. They looked at it carefully. Look at the ferocious head in your hand, check the hairstyle, hair stubble, teeth, ears and other facial features.

In addition to the two government officials in the courtyard, there are five government officials who work for the government officials. There is also a high-spirited man dressed as the head of the Jingnan County government office. Sharp and unblinking, he paid attention to the heads of Japanese pirates in the courtyard and everyone who came into contact with them.

"I've met the Master."

The government officials in the courtyard were the first to see Tan Lun and his entourage, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've met the Master."

The two men heard the guards salute, and then they realized that the prefect Tan Lun was coming, and they quickly followed them and saluted.

The two men saluted in a hurry, still holding the Japanese pirate's head that they had just examined in their hands while saluting. I won't go into detail about this scene.

The arresting officer of Jingnan County also followed suit and saluted.

"No need, it's important to check the head. It's not a courtesy." Tan Lun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the head check would continue.

So, Wu Zuo and others invested in examining the head again. More than 800 heads are not a small number. They have been checking for more than half an hour, and they have only checked less than a hundred heads.

"General Zuo, what's the problem with these Japanese pirate heads?" Tan Lun also took Zuo Zhen and others to check the Japanese pirate heads in the courtyard. After about tea time, Tan Lun asked Zuo Zhen.

"Returning to your lord, the general carefully inspected the ten Japanese pirate heads nearby. Three of them were real Japanese pirate heads, and the remaining seven were fake Japanese pirate heads. They were all in their thirties and forties, and no problems were found. "

Zuo Zhen was squatting down and looking at the Japanese pirate's head. After hearing Tan Lun's question, he looked away from the Japanese pirate's head, stood up and replied with fists in his hands.

Zuo Zhen was no stranger to Japanese pirates. Before being transferred to Taizhou Prefecture, he had served as the general flag and deputy commander in Ningbo Prefecture. He had fought against Japanese pirates many times and had handled more than ten heads of Japanese pirates. As for real Japanese and fake Wo know more than the average person.

After he entered the yard, he carefully inspected the heads of ten Japanese pirates. Three of the ten Japanese pirate heads were real Japanese and seven were fake. There was no problem whether they were real or fake. Needless to say, the real Japanese were real. , there is a big difference between the real Japanese and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot be faked. As for the hair stubble on the top buns of the seven fake Japanese, they also have traces of several months. They were not shaved hastily, so naturally they cannot be Sha Liang. Pretending to take credit.

"Huh, of course there can't be any problem. We cut off the heads of these Japanese pirates right away. What's the problem?"

The head catcher Jingnan who had been paying attention to the actions of everyone in the yard couldn't help but snorted and muttered dissatisfiedly. The heads of these Japanese pirates were brought by the young master who led us all in a bloody battle. I didn’t expect that they would be suspected of having problems. has a problem? What’s wrong with the Japanese pirates’ heads we chopped off with our own hands? !

Although he was mumbling, he was tall and thick, and his voice was loud. Even if he was mumbling, he could be heard clearly in the yard.

"What a man. Who are you?"

Hearing the man's muttering, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, noticed Jingnan, the head catcher who was escorting the leader and never leaving. His anger was beyond words, and he couldn't help sighing, and asked with interest.

"My lord, I am Liu Dadao, the head catcher in Jingnan County. He is my son. No, it was the county magistrate who ordered me to escort his head to the government office to report my merits and reward." The man replied with a loud voice, cupping his fists.

"Since the head has been delivered, why is it still here if you don't go down to rest?" Zuo Zhen asked.

"Before I came here, my county magistrate gave me careful instructions, asking me to stay close to these Japanese pirate heads. Only after the government office has completed the inspection and inspection, and received the acceptance receipt, can I leave the Japanese pirate heads."

Liu Dadao replied with a loud sound.

"Hello, you have been guarding the heads of so many Japanese pirates from now on?" Zuo Zhen asked.

"certainly."

Liu Dadao nodded vigorously. Along the way, no matter whether he was eating, drinking or sleeping, he made sure that the heads of the Japanese pirates were within his sight.

"Aren't you afraid of guarding the heads of these Japanese pirates every step of the way?" Zuo Zhen asked.

"Afraid? Hahaha, I wasn't afraid of these Japanese pirates when they were alive, but am I still afraid of them when they are dead?! Even if they are afraid, it is because they are afraid of me. Among the ten heads you just accepted, those three are real Japanese heads. I cut them all with my own hands.”

Liu Dadao grinned, his white teeth shining in the sun, and pointed at the Japanese pirate's head at Zuo Zhen's feet.
