Under the moonlit night, at the intersection, hundreds of people confronted each other across the street, and the situation was about to break out.

"What exactly is it that will make a group of refugees in the sheds outside the city rise up and gather in anger on the moonlit night?" Liu Jun murmured to himself. Most of these refugees are foreigners, and they are extremely vulnerable people who leave their hometowns and live here. If there is no special reason, they would never dare to do this.

County Magistrate Zhao and Zhang Butcher arrived and began to scold, denounced the people as rebellion, and prepared to take them all down.

The already tense atmosphere became more and more nervous. Liu Jun even heard some of the refugees on the opposite side shouting, saying that they were just going to be fucking.

Liu Jun knew that many times, the so-called rebellion that rises up is often the result of a surge of passion in this situation. Some people take the lead, and then some people often follow blindly, and the situation is unrepentant and embark on a path of no return.

Zhao County Chenggong and others didn't care about the calls among the refugees at all, and were still summoning people.

Liu Jun could not sit and watch a rebellion happen in front of him. He stepped forward and walked into the long street with countless people watching.

"I am Liu Jun and Liu Jiye of Xiwan, the team leader of Jiutou Niao Township, temporarily serving as the inspector of Hutou Pass and the Taiping Post. Everyone, what can't sit down and say, you have to work so hard? Now, who can stand up and tell me what's going on? As long as everyone believes in me, I, Liu Jun, preside over you!"

The butcher Zhang and the Prime Minister Zhao looked at each other, but they didn't expect Liu Jun to stand up at this time. They had known what all this was for. The butcher Zhang wanted to stand out and stop him. The Prime Minister Zhao grabbed him, "Don't act rashly, take a look first." The Prime Minister Zhao was tough on the surface just now, but in fact he was a little panicked inside.

He has shares in the pawn shop and shares in the pseudo-silver workshop. He gets a large sum of silver from it every year. Some people used to take pseudo-silver and make trouble, but basically no waves. No one expected that this matter would be so big today. In fact, he was afraid that although there were a group of poor men on the other side, they were also a group of refugees. If these people got a bachelor, they could really do anything.

Especially just now, someone shouted a dangerous slogan that had turned against him. If someone handled it improperly, these refugees would be fucking rebellious. Even if the matter could be settled, they would not be able to cover up the fire in the end, which would eventually lead to investigation from the superiors, and he, the county magistrate, would be the end of the matter.

The group of refugees there were also a little hesitant. Today's incident started because of Zhao Shun. When Zhao Shun was fighting with someone in the pawnshop, he happened to be seen by neighbors in several shacks passing by. They were still pulling carts and pushing goods at night. They happened to see them when they passed by the pawnshop. Zhao Shun is usually popular among those refugees, and he will help anyone who has any difficulties.

He also reads literacy. There are many children in the refugee shack, and everyone has no money to send them to school. Zhao Shun takes some time every day to teach the children and teach them to read and arithmetic. Everyone is grateful for everything Zhao Shun does. Children can recognize words and calculate skills, and they don’t dare to ask to take the imperial examination when they grow up. At least they have some advantages when they are sent to be an apprentice. A few neighbors ran up to help without saying a word, and another asked someone to run back to the shack to report the news.

Everyone heard that Zhao Shun Dian was cheated in a business, not only was he cheated of five taels of silver, but now he was wronged. Everyone couldn't help but feel indignant. As refugees living in the foreign land, they were usually at the bottom of the house and were bullied. Everyone swallowed their anger and had already suppressed it to the extreme.

Now Zhao Shun’s affairs are like a ignition line, igniting the powder barrel in everyone’s hearts.

A small hole was leaked and it turned into a crater. At the call of some young people, hundreds of young families in the shack rushed to the county town with sticks. The people guarding the gate had not even had time to react, so they had already rushed into the county town.

In the end, Zhao Shun tried his best to restrain and dissuade everyone, so that there was no immediate irreversible consequence. But everyone also confronted each other and it was difficult to get off the horse.

"Brother Zhao, don't listen to those people, they are all liars. Now we listen to him, and they will catch us all. This dog-day life is impossible. God doesn't give us a way out. Let's just turn around. Let's go to Xiangyang to join the Eight Kings and join Cao Cao!" Several young people had long had enough of this kind of life that had a pause but no more, and were despised everywhere. The anger accumulated in their hearts made them want to destroy everything.

"Shut up!" Zhao Shun stopped these young men. He knew that that step was very dangerous. Once he stepped out, he could not turn around. No one was willing to go to that step unless he had no choice. Besides, he kept staring at the young man who walked out. When he heard that he was Liu Jun, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart. Perhaps today's things still have room for reversal.

"Don't be impulsive. I heard that Liu Jiye is very good. I'll go out to talk to him and hope he can preside over justice for us."

"These gentry officials are all protecting each other, how can we believe their words?"

"Don't try to have fun for a while. Everyone is old and young, think about them." Zhao Shun said, and then walked out of the team.

Zhao Shun looked at Liu Jun, and Liu Jun was also looking at Zhao Shun. This was a man who was not angry and powerful, a seven-foot man with a red face, a short steel beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, especially those eyes, which were very stable.

"I am Liu Jun and Liu Jiye, I don't know my brother's name?"

"Zhao Shun, from Jinan, Shandong." Zhao Shundao.

"So it's Brother Zhao. Can you tell me what's going on?" Liu Jun asked.

Zhao Shun nodded, and then explained the whole story clearly. He did not deliberately add fuel to the fire or omit it, but just stated the facts.

"You said you were working as a lightning gun in a pawnshop? Have you been to Lu Mansion before?" Liu Jun couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard that he was working as a lightning gun.

Zhao Shun nodded.

Liu Jun sighed lightly, but he didn't expect that things were so coincidental. After getting the Lumi gun, he carefully checked it and found that the gun was indeed very well-made. He was looking forward to seeing the person who sent the gun tomorrow, but unexpectedly he met it now, and it was still the protagonist of this riot.

"I want to know, where did you get the Rumi gun and the electric gun?"

"That's a family-borne thing. These two muskets were built by me and my father."

Liu Jun was surprised that the Lumi gun and the electric gun were much sharper than the bird gun, and the manufacturing process was much more complicated. He did not expect that this refugee was actually a high-level firearm craftsman. "How can you build the Lumi gun and the electric gun?"

"City." Zhao Shun nodded, "My father was once a disciple of the firearm master Mr. Zhao Shizhen. My father designed and invented many firearms. Later, my father taught me the method of making these firearms. Although my skills are not as good as my father, it is not bad."

Liu Jun was extremely excited. He knew that he had picked up a treasure. Who was Zhao Shizhen, a master of firearms in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, invented dozens of firearms such as Lumi guns, lightning guns, thunder guns, eagle cannons, and other masters. He also wrote several monographs on firearms such as artifacts. Many of his inventions were made in real objects, and were eventually praised by the emperor and ministers. He also made batches of equipment for the army.

The sons of such master's disciples can be regarded as true teachings.

When Liu Jun trains his team, he is determined to rely on the sharpness of firearms to improve his combat effectiveness. Although firearms are expensive and complex in operation, they also have one advantage, that is, they can form combat effectiveness in the shortest time.

Training an excellent archer is not difficult to achieve in three or five years, and requires strong arm strength. However, training a bird gunner does not have so many complicated conditions. Even a woman, an elderly man, or a child can shoot with a gun for half a year.

As long as the firearm reaches a certain number, the firearm's killing performance will be extremely high.

Firearms replace cold weapons, which is the development direction of the trend of the times. Liu Jun not only does not want to go against the trend, but also wants to get ahead of the trend. Unfortunately, he did not know craftsmen in this field before, let alone masters. His firearms were almost all purchased from workshops in Guangdong and Fujian through Mei Zhihuan's relationship.

He had to pay twenty taels of bird guns with an astonishing price, which cost only three or five taels of silver. He even relied on purchasing gunpowder and lead. Although it is convenient now, the cost is high, and secondly, the supply is completely in the hands of others, which is quite dangerous.

Now, a firearm master, or the disciple of the firearm master, is standing in front of him.

This is simple and God's will.

After thinking quickly in his heart, Liu Jun said to Zhao Shun, "Do you believe me? I can help you solve the trouble in front of you."

Zhao Shun nodded, "I believe Mr. Liu. I hope that today's matter will not involve my friends. They are all trying to help me."

"I know, as long as you believe me, everything will be left to me."

Liu Jun’s way of handling is actually very simple, turning big things into small things, and turning small things into small things.

Although this matter is very clear, it is obvious that the pawnshop used fake silver to deceive Zhao Shun. Not only did he refuse to admit it afterwards, he also wanted to imprison him and attack him.

But although the matter is clear, this kind of thing is easy to solve. Zhang Butcher and his son-in-law Zhao County Cheng are a family. The people in the county government were already fed by them. Zhao Shun took a piece of fake silver without a certificate, so how could he sue them?

However, Liu Jun believes that Zhang butcher Zhao County Chief and others don’t want this to make a big deal, as it will be of no benefit to anyone if it makes a big deal.

Liu Jun walked to the front of Zhao County Magistrate and Zhang Butcher, and they felt a little upset. They didn't know what Liu Erlangzi wanted to achieve today.

Liu Jun smiled first.

Butcher Zhang also laughed.

County Magistrate Zhao had no choice but to laugh with him.

Zhao Shun in the distance laughed without saying a word when he saw Liu Jun passing by. The fat man who was said to be the owner of the pawnshop and a short fat man who was said to be the county magistrate also laughed. He felt confused and couldn't understand.
