Tian Ergeng watched the movement of the crowd in the audience, although after he finished speaking, there was some commotion in the crowd, but it soon quieted down, and no one left the crowd to come out to complain.

"It seems that Your Majesty is indeed younger, and his understanding of the world is still shallow. Although it is said: the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. But the people are just a flock of sheep, and there are no prodigals and treacherous people to lead them, how dare they stand up and be enemies with these bosses and companions who once managed them. Tian Ergeng stood on the high platform and thought silently.

But even so, Tian Ergeng didn't dare to disobey Chongzhen's intentions, even if it was a miscellaneous drama that no one cheered on, he had to act hard now. With his experience in Jinyiwei, no matter how ridiculous the idea of the superior is, as long as you do what he wants, even if there is a big mistake, someone will take it for you. On the contrary, even if you do things properly, you will lose the favor of the superiors.

Tian Ergeng waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, and at this time, the sky also changed from bright to bright, when the morning sun was rising and the sky was bright.

Tian Ergeng was a little interested and ordered his subordinates: "Bring those village leaders and companions to the stage, let them sign up one by one, and if no one complains, let them leave." ”

In the crowd, several half-sized children gathered around a young man, whispering to the young man in the middle.

"Brother Qi, what this adult said is not true, otherwise we will go up and accuse the five brothers of the Zhang family to the adult."

"Yes, yes, the five brothers of the Zhang family do a lot of evil on weekdays, and Aunt Yan and Brother Hao died too miserably..."

The young man who was called Brother Qi stared at the official uniform on Tian Ergeng's body, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "The one who spoke on the stage was a Lord Jinyiwei, when I went to the city to do business, I heard that Jinyiwei was an eagle dog in the hands of the eunuchs, and they were in the same group as the eunuchs in charge of the village, how could they punish their helpers for us villagers." ”

More than 40 village leaders and companions standing in a row in front of the wooden platform were panicking at this time. These people can be as ruthless as hungry wolves in front of the villagers, but in front of the nobles in their eyes, they are as soft as sheep.

Tian Ergeng watched from the stage, these Zhuangtou and companions were obviously much healthier than those Zhuangke, and the clothes they were wearing were also a lot neater.

The first one to be pushed out by Jinyiwei was a companion. This person usually has no special evil deeds, so after reporting his name, the following bankers did not react.

Tian Ergeng really kept his promise, waved his hand and let the companion go. At this time, these Zhuang heads and companions seem to understand their own situation, and as long as the Zhuang guests have no objections, these Jinyi Wei men will not embarrass themselves.

The next two heads and companions were obviously more clever, and after announcing their names, they begged the bankers for mercy. Tian Ergeng watched, and the crowd just quieted down after a commotion. He was even more disappointed, these bankers are not only bloodless, but also easy to forgive others.

Tian Ergeng was completely disappointed, he looked up at the sun that was starting to be a little dazzling, and stood backwards, hiding in the shadows. At this moment, he no longer had any hope for the plan designed by Chongzhen, and began to think about how to complete the reform of the Huangzhuang in his own way, turning these Zhuang guests into military households in the guard.

While Tian Ergeng was thinking, one of the buriest strong men among the head of the village and his companions was pushed out of the queue.

Unlike the other Zhuang Tou and Companion who had been pushed out before, this strong man did not smile obscenely at the soldiers who pushed him out of the ranks, but instead glared back dissatisfiedly, and the two soldiers of the Beijing camp behind him, who were quite thin compared to him, glanced at him.

Looking at the eyes of this strong man, the younger soldier on the left behind him was suddenly enraged, he held down the short knife on his waist, and said viciously: "It's just a local dog in the countryside, and he dares to stare at grandpa, believe it or not, Lao Tzu dug up your tricks." ”

The older soldier beside the young soldier hurriedly grabbed his companion and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be impulsive, don't forget who is standing behind us?" Under the nose of Tian Dudu, you dare to move. If it ruins the big thing of Tian Dudu, do you want to affect your family? ”

Hearing Tian Dudu's name, the young soldier's expression suddenly froze, he quietly put his hand off the short knife, stretched out his hand and pushed the strong man, and whispered in his mouth: "You country splash, don't hurry up, hurry up and get out." ”

Looking at this soldier who was completely arrogant, this strong man suddenly understood that it was a big man who was in charge of this stage.

As soon as his mind moved, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "This Jinyi general, why is he so insulting to a hero, the villain Zhang Ying has been riding an inferior horse since he was a child, and he is playing with knives and guns." If the general treats my brother well, the villain is willing to worship under the general's door as a personal follower, and go to the soup for the general. ”

Tian Ergeng, who was interrupted by the shouting of this strong man, felt a little unhappy in his heart, "Is this splash stupid to listen to comments?" shouted in front of the governor of Pontus, thinking that it was Song Saburo of Liangshan Juyi? It's just ridiculous. ”

Tian Ergeng opened his eyes and looked down, wanting to see who was so bold and dared to play the clumsy trick of self-recommendation in front of himself.

I saw a fierce face, a face-to-face, who was entangled with two soldiers of the Beijing army in the audience, refusing to step forward to sign up for himself to the villagers, but trying to win his attention.

As the emperor's pro-army, although most of the soldiers in the army are from the hereditary Jinyi Guard, there are only 1,000 and 20 people in a guard, how can it meet the emperor's needs for intelligence spying.

Therefore, since the establishment of Jinyiwei in the Chengzu period, it has been expanding, reaching almost 5 or 60,000 people at its peak. These people who were selected and expanded by Jinyiwei have not only a clean family background, but also a condition of appearance and size.

After all, Jinyiwei is nominally the emperor's pro-army, and he has to accompany the emperor when he travels, how can an ugly person please the emperor.

Although this Tian Ergeng is over 40 years old and is called "Da'er" by the Donglin Party, he has a national character face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which makes people feel good at first sight.

Seeing this meaty country man actually claiming to be a hero, Tian Ergeng suddenly felt an indescribable sense of disgust in his heart.

"A rural splasher dares to be British, and he dares to disturb the order of the venue, and if someone doesn't come to get it for me, he will be severely punished with 10 sticks."

Tian Ergeng just gave a gentle order, and the brocade-clothed guards, who had been watching coldly from the audience, suddenly stood up.

They stepped forward and gently and skillfully put down Zhang Ying, and soon someone took the wooden stick in the Huangzhuang that was originally used to execute the Zhuang guest.

After the execution, Zhang Ying's heroism could not be pretended, and he cried and begged Tian Ergeng for mercy.

These two brocade guards are probably good executioners on weekdays, and after seeing Tian Ergeng angry, they naturally want to behave one or two in front of Shangguan. It's only 10 sticks, and Zhang Ying, a good man who was full of energy just now, suddenly became a bear who was very difficult to stand.

Zhang Ying had already lost his arrogance at this time, and he didn't understand why. The five brothers of the Zhang family are not from the Huangzhuang family, but a family of Orion in Niulanshan.

They were five brothers, and they were named Ying, Xiong, Hao, Jie, and Yong. Although there are no big beasts in Niulanshan, there is no shortage of prey such as rabbits and wild boars. In addition, the environment of Niulan Mountain is quiet and the scenery is good, so it is used as a hunting ground for their own play and relaxation by several gentlemen and wealthy families living nearby, and the nearby farmers are forbidden to go into the mountains to cut down trees, so that the wild animals in this mountain also grow luxuriantly.

Zhang Ying's family hunted in Niulan Mountain for a living, and it can be regarded as having no shortage of food and clothing, perhaps because there is no shortage of meat on weekdays, the five brothers of the Zhang family are more robust than the people of this era.

A few years ago, the eunuch in charge of the imperial village was replaced, and the new eunuch wanted to relax in the left near. went to Niulan Mountain to play, and this Zhang Ying brother was able to tie up, so he was recruited to Huangzhuang as the head of the village and his companion.

Unlike other village heads and companions, Zhang Ying's brother Xu has been dealing with birds and beasts since he was a child, and he has no sympathy for the Zhuang guests in the Huangzhuang, and only wants to be in charge of the eunuchs, so he has the worst reputation in the Huangzhuang, even if he is also the head of the Zhuang and his colleagues, he is often oppressed by these five brothers.

Zhang Ying's brothers have been accustomed to seeing it since they were children, and the scene of farmers outside the mountains not having three meals when there is a slight disaster, selling their wives and children to repay their land endowments. And his own father, because he befriended a gentleman near him, took care of the mountains and forests for the old man, and worked part-time as a hunter by the way, but he lived a worry-free life.

Therefore, among the Zhang Ying brothers, if they want to live well in this world, first, they must rely on reincarnation and reincarnate in the homes of nobles, so they naturally live a life of fine clothes and food; The second is to win the favor of the nobles, as long as they are favored by the nobles, at least they can live a life without food and clothing.

The brothers didn't have any other skills, but they had brute strength. This is to discipline the poor for the nobles, so that those nobles do not have to worry about the poor, isn't this their life.

But this Jinyi general is really unreasonable. tied up Zhang Ying and beat him, but let the poor men watch the joke on the sidelines. Doesn't this general know that without their bosses and companions, how can these poor men be willing to take out their private food and give it to the nobles to enjoy?

“… Nine, ten. As the Jinyi guards who reported the number on the side finished counting, Zhang Ying's screams fell down. Zhang Ying's brothers, not only did not feel angry, but shrank their bodies in fear, for fear of letting these brocade guards pay attention to themselves.

After a while, Zhang Ying felt a hot sensation coming from his thighs, he tried to move to his lower body, it seemed to be just a flesh injury, the bones should be fine, nothing serious.
