After deciding on the name, Zhu Ping'an bent down and picked up a branch from the corner, walked to the pile of shoes, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, squatted on the ground, and looked through the shoes with the branch with great interest, looking very cautious, as if the pile of stinky shoes were precious treasures.
abnormal!
The eight people with hunting knives at their necks expressed deep contempt for Zhu Ping'an's behavior. It was really perverted that he had such a hobby!
"Sir, what do we need their shoes for? These broken shoes are not worth much."
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and other hunters were actually confused by Zhu Ping'an's behavior. They didn't understand why Zhu Ping'an needed these smelly shoes. Of course, although they were confused, they still believed in Zhu Ping'an 100%. Judging from their state, even if Zhu Ping'an said that the sun rises from the west, they would definitely believe it.
"No, this pair of shoes is worth a fortune." Zhu Ping'an stood up and said with a curl of his lips.
"ah?"
"Ten thousand gold?"
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were all shocked, especially Liu Dadao, whose mouth was grinning from ear to ear and his eyes almost popped out. He walked to the pile of broken shoes curiously, picked up one, endured the strong smell of foot odor, checked it carefully, and then looked at Zhu Pingan in confusion.
Not only them, but also the barefoot people whose personal freedom was restricted were all shocked. What the hell?! How could our old shoes be worth a ton of gold! What the hell, they are worth a ton of gold! One tael of silver could buy several pairs!
He is indeed a scholar. His ability to tell lies with open eyes is unmatched by ordinary people!
The barefoot eight people have the utmost contempt for Zhu Ping'an!
Seeing everyone's shocked and puzzled expressions, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, then pointed at the pile of broken shoes and asked, "Take a closer look at these shoes. Do you find anything special?"
A special place
After hearing this, Liu Mu and the others looked at the pile of broken shoes again and shook their heads vigorously. Only Liu Dadao shook his head and then nodded, "If you want to say something special, there is."
"What's so special about it?"
After Liu Dadao finished speaking, the other hunters looked at him curiously, wanting to know what the special thing Liu Dadao was talking about was.
Zhu Ping'an also looked at Liu Dadao with encouragement.
"These piles of broken shoes are... really smelly! Yeah, very smelly!" Liu Dadao nodded and concluded.
Well
Upon hearing this, the other hunters turned their heads away speechlessly and no longer looked at him.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled as to why he left behind such a pile of shoes, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, then used a branch to pull the shoes out and arranged them in a row, and then explained, "See, these eight pairs of shoes are all of the same style."
"Oh, it's true. These pairs are a little torn and a little dirty, but they look exactly the same."
After Zhu Ping'an's explanation, the others also realized this and looked as if they had suddenly realized something.
At this moment, the faces of the eight barefoot people changed drastically!
How could I forget this! I came here in disguise but forgot my shoes! This is bad!
Looking at the eight barefoot men with changed expressions, Zhu Ping'an curled his lips and said sarcastically, "These are not ordinary shoes. If I'm not mistaken, these blue cloth short boots are the standard shoes of our Ming Dynasty official army! In a few days, these shoes will be very useful. I won't change them even for a thousand gold!"
Government troops
Upon hearing this, Liu Dadao and others turned their attention to the barefoot group of eight, and confirmed Zhu Ping'an's statement from the flickering expressions on their faces.
The Ming army? Why did they attack you
Liu Dadao and others were puzzled.
Only Liu Mu pondered for a moment, then thought of something, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a shocked face and asked, "Sir, are you saying that they are from the faction of that evil villain Zhao Baihu?!"
"What, they were sent by that bastard officer Zhao Baihu to take revenge on the young master?" Liu Dadao and others suddenly realized after hearing this.
"Captain Zhao... No..." Zhu Pingan shook his head and said slowly, "Now I should call him Captain Zhao."
After hearing this, Liu Mu and other hunters were indignant and looked at the eight barefoot men with gnashing teeth. "That dog official borrowed the heads of the whole village, old and young, women and children as stepping stones to get promoted! Young master, they are all the minions of that dog official, and their hands are stained with the blood of our villagers. Young master, why are you still being polite to them? Just let us kill them."
Hearing this, the eight barefoot people trembled, fearing that Zhu Pingan would nod his head. Looking at the hateful eyes of these poor hunters, the eight people believed that if Zhu Pingan nodded his head, these hunters would bite them to death with their mouths!
"Not yet." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, and then continued to comfort everyone, "But don't worry, they can't escape the punishment they deserve."
On the one hand, "the law is a public tool of the world", and private individuals do not have the right to use public tools. Even though Zhu Ping'an is a sixth-rank Hanlin reader, he does not have the right to execute these people privately and can only escort them to the government office for processing. On the other hand, these people's attack today has given him a lot of bargaining chips, which will be of great use when he petitions the Ministry of Justice in a few days.
"Zhu Ping'an, if you know what's good for you, let us go, or you'll be in trouble!" A barefoot man thought that Zhu Ping'an was afraid of the power behind them, and threatened him in an arrogant tone.
"Retarded!"
Zhu Ping'an looked at the man speechlessly. Did this guy get kicked in the head by a donkey? Where did he get the courage to say such words
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Liu Mu and his men went up to beat up that guy. They had a grudge against these people, so they naturally didn't show any courtesy. They beat him up with their fists and feet, venting their hatred. Because six hunters couldn't beat one person, the barefoot people nearby also got beaten up.
After a while, the panda with eight black eye sockets came out.
Zhu Ping'an watched quietly from the side, as long as no one was killed.
In fact, it’s good to be scolded. At least after the scolding, the eight barefoot pandas became much more obedient.
After the repair, Zhu Ping'an asked Liu Mu and others to search the eight pandas to see if there was anything else found, such as anything that could prove their identity.
Zhu Ping'an was not disappointed. In addition to loose change and copper coins, he also found eight waist badges on these people.
Zhu Ping'an took a waist badge and held it in his palm to examine it. It was an iron waist badge with the three words "Jingbianwei" engraved on it. On the back was some identity information, divided into two sides, the left side was positive text and the right side was negative text.
In this way, the identities of these people become clearer.
"Let's go. I'll show you around the capital. I'll escort them to the government office."
Zhu Ping'an put the eight badges close to his body, wrapped the eight pairs of shoes with cloth, and said to Liu Mu and the others. When he mentioned the words "stroll around the capital", Zhu Ping'an's tone was strange.
