Zhang Xianzhong withdrew the team first, and Luo Rucai lost his wealth. He was so painful. After a while, he wrapped his bloody little heart, licked his wounds, and planned to withdraw as well. Just as he was about to pull out the camp, he suddenly saw a soldier of Zhu Jun running over, hugging Luo Rucai with his fists and saying, "Brother Cao Cao, our general wants to meet you and have a few words. If you don't dislike it, you might as well go to the city to talk."

After hearing this, Luo Rucai turned his eyes and was a little curious. He didn't know that Zhu Ba asked him to go, but he thought that Zhu Ba would not harm him, so he agreed and brought a few confidants. At the same time, he did not forget to bring his most beloved wives and walked into Bazhou City together.

When he entered the city, he saw Baishui and Zhu Ba standing by the city gate waiting for him. Zhu Ba's face was neither sad nor happy, as calm as a mountain, as if the quarrel with Zhang Xianzhong had almost taken action. This ability to control emotions surprised Luo Rucai slightly.

He hugged Zhu Yuanzhang with fists: "I wonder what's wrong with Brother Zhu Ba invited me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "I want to ask Brother Cao Cao to see what he looks like in Bazhou City..." After saying that, Luo Rucai didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, but he was very interested in knowing, so he followed closely behind.

After walking halfway through the street, Luo Rucai understood that he saw that the city of Bazhou was in order, and there were no common chaos after the thief army broke through the city. The bodies of civilians could not be seen on the street, the houses burned by fire could not be seen in the city, the children crying loudly, the old man sobbing, and the women stripped naked and pressed to the ground. The desperate woman...

The entire Bazhou city seemed to be a city in a peaceful and prosperous era. If it weren't for the fact that there were many soldiers from Zhu's army stationed on the streets, and the people were far away from these soldiers, Luo Rucai almost thought he had come to a place where he had never fought a war.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the streets and whispered: "I haven't robbed the people of Bazhou for a penny."

Luo Rucai said oh, not knowing how to interface.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a businessman standing with his hands hanging down on the street and whispered: "I didn't touch the wealthy businessmen and gentry here either."

Luo Rucai said again, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now you understand? Since I have never robbed Bazhou, I naturally have no money to share with Zhang Xianzhong! Every penny in Bazhou city belongs to the people of Bazhou. I am not qualified to take it away from the people. Zhang Xianzhong is not qualified to do so."

Luo Rucai smiled bitterly, touched his chin and said, "Then don't you explain it clearly? I took my pocket and gave him 100,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "How can you tell me clearly with that kind of desperate person? I'm too lazy to say a little more to him. However, Brother Cao Cao is a good friend who can listen to the words. I just asked you to come in and take a look. Say these heart-to-heart words to you."

Luo Rucai's face was moved. He couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart. No matter who is recognized by a big brother-level figure like Zhu Ba, it is a happy thing. He said pretending: "I've been too much. Haha... I've been too much more than a prize, I dare not take it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang led Luo Rucai to the magistrate's yamen. Luo Rucai's eyes were sharp-eyed and saw that there was a terrifying person in the skin temple at the entrance of the yamen. The man's skin had been covered and his whole body was covered in blood, but the person was not dead yet. He was wailing and screaming. A large number of onlookers were applauding.

He couldn't help but wonder: "Is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "This is the governor of Bazhou. He is a bad guy. I follow the laws of heaven and peel him down here for the people to wash away the anger in my heart."

Luo Rucai gasped and thought to himself: Zhu Ba is really an amazing person. Being kind is not harmful to the people at all. When he makes up, he is even more cruel than the King of Hell.

The two entered the yamen and sat in the lobby. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said, "Brother Cao Cao, I often hear that you like a comfortable life, don't like fighting, killing, and fleeing everywhere."

"Yes!" Luo Rucai smiled and said, "I rebelled in the first place just because I couldn't afford to eat and could not get a wife. I never thought that I would really be a general, a marshal, an emperor, or something like me. Now that I can eat enough, I have a wife, so I don't want to fight and kill anymore. I just hope to take the money I earned... I will live back and live happily after the money I earned. What a pity... I'm already on the pirate ship and can't get off Luo."

"Actually it's not difficult to get off the pirate ship!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Accommodating my ship is to get off the pirate ship."

Luo Rucai laughed and said, "Brother Zhu really loves to joke. Isn't it also a pirate ship when you get on your boat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his hand towards the northwest: "Then is Shaanxi. I believe that with your eyes and ears, you can know what is happening in Shaanxi now."

Luo Rucai's face turned right after hearing this. Of course, he knew the situation in Shaanxi. Not to mention that he had many spies under his command, the soldiers and families who were left in Shaanxi alone could be heard. When he was blocked by Zhu Yuanzhang in Tongguan, Luo Rucai, Gao Yingxiang, and Lao Huihui all handed over their families to Zhu Yuanzhang, so they could occasionally receive some information from these families, knowing that Shaanxi is amazing now, everyone has enough food and clothing, and lives a peaceful and healthy life.

Shanxi and Henan, which are adjacent to Shaanxi, are obviously miserable in the severe drought, but Zhu Ba is able to manage Shaanxi in an orderly manner, which is really incredible.

Luo Rucai fell into deep thoughts. After a long time, he raised his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu Ba, what do you mean is... let me join your command and give you all the brothers under your command. Then you will let me go back to Shaanxi to support you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said seriously: "As long as you no longer burn, kill, loot, or seize your wife and daughter in the future, I will pretend that you have never done anything before. With the money you have obtained over the years, you will have a stable second half of your life. More than one hundred beautiful wives are enough for you to play. Change one in three days and only take one round a year. What else can you pursue?"

Luo Rucai's face turned slightly red and he defended: "I saved those wives, not those who took away their wives."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and stopped talking about this issue. It would be better to break up some things, so he would give him some face. This is also a blessing for Luo Rucai. Zhu Yuanzhang did not bother him much about this issue. If his subordinates seized his wife and daughter, Zhu Yuanzhang would not even think about it and directly ordered it to be cut off. However, Luo Rucai was not his subordinate and was not subject to Zhu Yuanzhang's military discipline. As long as he was willing to correct the bad things he had done before, Zhu Yuanzhang could also give him a chance to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

Luo Rucai was actually quite moved. He was not a person with great ambitions. In fact, there were not many people with great ambitions in the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, and only Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others were determined to make a name for themselves. Many people like Bai Yuzhu, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, etc. were all forced to make a living and had no choice but to revolt. The purpose of the uprising was only to make a good life. Therefore, when the scale of the rebel army expanded to a certain level, the rebel army would inevitably corrupt and fall, and it was difficult to go further at the top of the rebel.

Luo Rucai thought of returning to Shaanxi to retire, and with more than 100 beautiful wives and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the rest of his life, his breathing became rapid. He really wanted to ignore it, throw his subordinates into Zhu Ba's hands, and then smiled and become his hand-shaking rich man.

"How are you thinking?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Luo Rucai woke up and returned to reality from his fantasy and corrupt life. He sighed and said, "Brother Zhu Ba, I feel your kindness brother, but this matter is too serious and it affects the rest of my life... Brothers dare not make hasty decisions. Can you give me some time and let me think about it for a few days?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "If you agree to such a big thing, if you open your mouth, you will make me think you are not sincere, and it will be right to think about it for a few days!"

Luo Rucai hugged his fists and said, "Brother, I'll go back first...tsk...think carefully..."

Zhu Yuanzhang served tea and prepared to see off the guests.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise outside the door. It seemed that a group of people were running in hurriedly. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that something must have happened again and looked at the door curiously. A group of soldiers ran into the house with a man covered in blood. A woman was following behind the soldiers. The woman lowered her head and couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she made a crying sound, and she also said in a low voice: "Brothers, be gentle... Please be gentle... My husband was seriously injured and could not stand the tossing..."

Hearing this voice, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and stood up from the chair. His eyes looked at the seriously injured man like lightning. Sure enough, this man was Du Shan, who had met in Xi'an at the beginning... and the woman who lowered her head and cried, needless to say, was naturally Miss Ma San.

When Yiren left, Fang Ran was misty. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared here. It was really surprising that she was not mentally prepared.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Miss Ma Xiaosan knelt on the ground with a "touching" sound, and knocked deeply on her head until her forehead hit the ground. She said anxiously: "Ba Wang Zhu, my husband has been seriously injured. Please lend a helping hand and treat Yi Er. I will be a cow and a horse in the next life and will definitely repay your great kindness."

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his tumultuous emotions and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
