Following the release of the prisoners, the story of Zhu Pingan’s miraculous judgement of the unsolved cases spread rapidly throughout Jingnan County, spreading to the neighbouring counties, and Zhu Pingan’s name was mentioned more and more often in the mouths of the people.
However, in the process of word-of-mouth, somehow the back of the rumour spread on a mythological colour, what the new county Zun can pass through the yin and yang, the day breaks the earth, the night breaks the netherworld; what the new county Zun is the Scholarship Lang, it is the Wenquxing descended from the mortal world, has its own heavenly fairy brothers to help, etc. ……
“What a bunch of fools, he Zhu Pingan went through a sh*t luck before he tried a case, this group of bullsh*t stupid people even gave him the title of being able to understand yin and yang, Wenquxing descended to the earth, and there are godly brothers in the sky! If he were to have another stroke of luck, these fools would have blown Zhu Pingan to the sky!”
After hearing the legend of Zhu Pingan’s divine judgement of unsolved cases, County Minister Zhang angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.
“Little County Honour just got lucky and ran into a thief with less guts than a mouse, and gave him a scare……. The man who caught twelve suspects at once, what does he know about trying cases, it’s just a slip of the tongue. Also bullsh*t break yin and yang, these good old people are really a bunch of fools.”
“What’s missing is fantasy, Jingnan lacks a decent governor for a long time. Believe it or not, at this moment even if a dog head wearing a black hat, sitting in the main hall, these fools people will still blow up the dog as Baochengtian in the world, through the yin and yang …….Uncannily, they will also say that it is a roaring dog in the world and that there is Erlang Shen in the sky to help.”
“That’s it, that’s it ……”
As the lickspittles of County Minister Zhang, the Six Houses of Suxu, at this moment, were all emotional and sharp-tongued turds of Zhu Pingan.
Got lucky with sh*t?
Not really!
Master Yao didn’t see it that way, although he echoed County Minister Zhang on his lips and followed everyone else in scolding the people for their ignorance and cursing Zhu Pingan for his luck, in his heart, he was secretly jealous of Zhu Pingan. On that day of the trial, Zhu Pingan had left too deep an impression on him, and that was not something that could be explained by a simple stroke of luck.
No matter what, after this quick trial to solve the serial theft case, Zhu Pingan’s name was mentioned more and more often in the mouths of the people of Jingnan County. People felt that this time, this governor, seemed to be really different from the previous ones. People had renewed hope for the future.
Just as the people of Jingnan rekindled their hope, the sea several dozen miles away from Jingnan was black with sails, large ships, small ships, smuggling ships, merchant ships, armed ships, and other kinds of ships intermingled with mixed flags, stretching for miles, as if boundless, wrapping the sunlight, leading dark clouds, piercing through the waves, chopping through the waves, imposing and murderous towards the shore speeding forward.
“Entry, entry, もうじきだよ……”
“Ow ow ow ……Finally seeing the coast, my big sword is already hungry and thirsty, and the black bird in my crotch is also hungry and thirsty! Today, I’m going to kill, rob, and f*ck, I’ve been suffocating old me these past few months.”
“Haha, can rob a pain again …..”
“Kill す, kill す……”
“Faster, faster ……”
As the incoming fleet accelerated, various dialects of birdsong and obscenities on board resounded across the sea.
Closer, you can see it more clearly. This flotilla, the large boat hundreds of people, the middle boat dozens of people, the small boat more than ten people. Blacked out so many ships, roughly counting, there must be at least as many as seven or eight thousand people.
Everyone on the boat is carrying weapons, weapons are not uniform, there are new and old, there are Japanese swords, there are lances, there are big swords, there are harpoons, there are pig-killing knives, there are bows and arrows, there are shields ……There were all sorts of things, and even a lot of bird cannons.
Although these people have mixed dialects and bird languages, some speak the coastal dialect of Daming, some speak Japanese, but the clothes and appearance is largely uniform, almost all scalping head, Japanese clothes. Only, some of the scalping head is more standard natural, scalping head trickster, crotch trousers, speak bird language, waist carry three feet Japanese sword, very fierce, this kind of people accounted for almost a small half; some are simple head cut hair smeared with paint, bun pushed back, speak the coastal dialect of Daming, look very incestuous, this kind of people accounted for more than half.
Obviously, these people were Japanese pirates. On the flotilla, there was a mixture of real and fake Japanese; those Japanese who spoke bird language were real Japanese, while those who appeared to be Japanese but spoke the coastal dialect of Daming were fake Japanese.
The reason why the fake Japanese imitated the Japanese, wearing Japanese clothes and imitating the Japanese in every aspect, besides the reason of pulling a big flag as a tiger’s skin, there was another more important reason, that is, to cover up their identity.
Hongwu Emperor issued the “Daming Law” on overseas trade restrictions are particularly strict, it is strictly prohibited to privately carry iron goods, copper, satin, silk and other prohibited goods to the sea, all transactions with foreigners, where caught in all executions, and prohibit the private manufacture of private folk with more than two masts of the navigation of the ship, the same is also a capital offence. As for the false Japanese such as collusion with the Japanese to burn, kill and pillage the Ming Dynasty, it belongs to the “rebellion against the Great Rebellion” of the ten unforgivable felonies, their punishment is even more severe, where the crime of “rebellion against the Great Rebellion”, the first from the first to be executed by death by lynching, the clan relatives of the grandfathers, fathers, sons, grandchildren,Uncle, brother, nephew, cousin, as well as foreign relatives grandfather, father-in-law, son-in-law, including the family slaves, all over the age of sixteen years old are all beheaded.
Therefore, in order not to be implicated by the nine clans, these fake Japanese who had become Japanese invaders tried every possible means to disguise their identities, not only hiding their real names, but also imitating the Japanese, shaving their heads, wearing Japanese clothes, and pretending to be Japanese.
In the centre of this flotilla were three armed smuggling ships, all of which were flying the Japanese flag. In the centre, on the largest armed merchant ship, three big leaders of the Japanese were sitting together around the case.
“That fake monk Xu Hai intended to assassinate Wang Zhi, and as a result, he was discovered by Wang Zhi, and now they’re at swords drawn and have no time to care about us. Iron King Kong, Heihachirou, we can just take this opportunity to plunder and grow a lot, so that when we face them again in the future, we will have more confidence.”
The big leader of the Japanese pirates in the middle reached out and picked up his bowl of wine, and toasted a big bowl to the other two leaders of the Japanese pirates.
“Sect Master Shen is right, over the past year, that guy Wang Zhi has pressed us so hard that we can hardly breathe, it’s not easy to have this opportunity, we can’t let it go. Wang Zhi and the others are eating meat and drinking wine, it’s not too much for us to have a mouthful of soup, right?”The Japanese leader on the right had a bearded face and finished his drink in one gulp, reaching out to wipe a handful of liquor from his beard.
“Yancy, Sect Master Shen, Iron Vajra, you guys are right. This time we have to make merry, you Daming are greatly rich, the women are greatly good, my sons and daughters have been hungry and thirsty for a long time.”
The Japanese pirate on the left was a true Japanese, scalped and tricked, clad in a large armour, dressed in Chinese that he spoke poorly, with a three-foot Japanese sword resting on his left waist side, and a spade-shaped front-standing Yanxing bib resting on his right waist side.
