Chapter 51: The Officialdom Battlefield

It is said that Zhang Congbin was a blessing in disguise, not only cleared his charges, but also was promoted, he was happy, and in order to get a higher promotion, he was more attentive and conscientious in doing things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

That Shi Jingjiao never thought that it would backfire, he was angry, in order to suppress Zhang Congbin, he turned over the law and had nothing to do since then, looking for Zhang Congbin's troubles.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, Zhang Congbin relies on his father-in-law against Shi Jingjiao; the dog fights against people, bullies others, and looks for trouble everywhere, instead of colliding with him head-on, he adopts the use of strengths and avoids weaknesses, the face and heart are not in harmony, and he skillfully fights with him without giving in, and the two of them are free to fight like a war.

And Fuju has a son, named Fuyu, as the saying goes, no official is light, there is a son is enough, for the growth of his son, the happiness of the whole family, the work is also more hard. Due to the extraordinary relationship between the two families, they celebrate the New Year's holidays, peaceful and impermanent, and they are free to walk around with relatives and friends.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, nothing is nothing but in the middle of nothing, and unconsciously, three or five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the relationship, although the Fu and Zhang families have also been troubled by stumbles and stumbles in life, they have nothing to do with the overall situation, not only did not hurt the relationship between the two families, but also made the relationship between the two families deeper and stronger.

It is said that Zhang Congbin has been in the officialdom all the way, although he has been trembling and not smooth sailing, but because of his hard work, in the battle of following Yao Yanchou to defeat Yang Yanwen, he was still promoted again because of his outstanding performance, and was once again promoted to the commander of the Taibao and the guards and infantry of the Zhongzheng Festival. After his efforts were affirmed, he became more loyal to the emperor and thought that as long as he did things seriously, the emperor would definitely improve himself. However, he didn't know that officialdom was like a battlefield, and he was busy fighting for power and profit.

On this morning, Zhang Congbin was in the Golden Palace, when he saw that the emperor Li Siyuan asked the ministers to investigate the enshrinement official Ding Yanhui and the warehouse keeper Tian Jixun took advantage of their positions to embezzle and sell the national grain reserves, and no one answered, he knew that the people take food as the sky, and food is related to the life and death of the country, and it is a major matter of the country.

Li Siyuan was worried that no one answered, and when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw it, he was happy, and immediately praised it, and immediately issued an order to be handled by him.

Zhang Congbin didn't care about the ministers all showing contempt, and after stepping forward to accept the order of the palace, in order to close the case as soon as possible, he took office at random and took people to live in the world's first granary, including Jiacang to investigate.

Hanjiacang, also known as Hanjiacang City, is located in the northeast of Luoyang Palace, north of Waiguo City North Wall, south of Dongcheng, west of Yuanbi City and Yaoyi City, east of Hui'anmen Street in Lifang District. The overall layout is rectangular, with more than 600 meters from east to west, more than 700 meters from north to south, and is surrounded by rammed walls. Cangcheng is divided into three areas, the reservoir area, the life management area and the Caoyun wharf area.

After Zhang Congbin took people to live in the living management area of Hanjia Cangcheng, in order to facilitate the investigation, he took over the management of the three areas of Cangcheng at random, and his own people were responsible for it. And while letting Cangcheng continue to operate, he began to investigate the encroachment of Cangguan Tian Jixun on the reserve grain.

It is said that Shi Jingjiao and other ministers have received the benefits given by the enshrined official Ding Yanhui, and they are trying their best to rescue, when Zhang Congbin was suddenly inserted into a bar, although he was angry, but he couldn't, in order to rescue Ding Yanhui from prison, Shi Jingjiao randomly commanded the ministers to intercede with Zhang Congbin.

And said that after Zhang Congbin stayed in Hanjiacang City, he immediately took the account book and took it up, since what he never expected was that everything had just been done, and he hadn't even looked at it, but it could be said that there was no one in the eight characters, and all kinds of officials of all sizes came one after another, and all kinds of persuasion of coercion and temptation sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, swarming, and coming one after another, which made a mess and embarrassed both internally and externally.

Zhang Congbin not only turned a blind eye and ignored all kinds of advice, but also ordered the blockade of Hanjiacang City in order to avoid interference and investigate wholeheartedly, and no one outside was allowed to enter it, asking for a meeting and intercession.

For a while, the gate of Hanjiacang City, which was originally full of people, was suddenly silent.

After Zhang Congbin cut off the disturbance of others, he randomly instructed his subordinates to check the account book.

Although Ding and Tian were very careful in the accounts, they wanted not to know unless they did nothing, and they were finally found out.

It is said that after Zhang Congbin had evidence that Ding Yanhui and Cangguan Tian Jixun took advantage of their positions to engage in fraud, corruption, and embezzlement of national grain reserves, he randomly interrogated Ding and Tian.

When Na Ding and Tian started, they denied it outright, but they couldn't stand it for a while, so they confessed and confessed everything, not only confessed a lot, but also told many officials about selling their official positions.

After Zhang Congbin heard about it, he immediately understood why no one interrogated the two at the beginning, why when he interrogated, there were so many officials who interceded for him to intercede and beg for mercy, and he was afraid that he would say his own affairs. However, just as he finished writing the recital and packed up everything to rest, a short knife flew in from the window with a 'whoosh' and stuck it on the table, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Who?" drew the knife and rushed out of the door to look for it.

The night was pitch black and silent.

Zhang Congbin was afraid of being plotted, so he hurriedly shouted Lu Zhengchun and Peng Qingshan, who lived next door, and the three of them searched for each other and found no clues.

Zhang Congbin entered the door, and when he saw a letter under the tip of the knife, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out the steel knife, took down the letter, opened the lamp spread out on the table, and looked carefully, only to see that it was written:

Zhang Congbinge, this letter to you, nothing else, mainly for Ding, Tian two people to intercede, please no matter how they do things, please raise your noble hand, let them go, we will be grateful, then will send a thousand taels of gold, to show gratitude, if not to do so, next time will not be like this, will take your life, please think twice.

After the three of them took a closer look, they immediately understood what was going on, needless to say, it must be Ding Yanhui and Tian Jixun's accomplices who came to blackmail them into leniency in order to rescue the two of them, and in the face of this shameless trick, Lu Zhengchun couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, what should I do?"

Peng Qingshan didn't wait for Zhang Congbin to react, and immediately responded: "What should I do?" Zhengchun, of course, it is important to save my life, the case file is in our hands, what do we want to do, then it's not up to us to have the final say, right, big brother?"

Zhang Congbin asked rhetorically: "Brother, according to you, I am the first to save my life in this matter." ā€

Peng Qingshan said: "Yes, eldest brother, although the emperor knows about the cooperation between Ding and Tian to embezzle the reserve grain, but because there is no evidence, he can't be convicted, and now we just use the power in our hands to give them a light sentence and make profits from it, not only do not offend people, but also have gold to earn, killing two birds with one stone, why don't we do such a good thing." ā€

Lu Zhengchun agreed: "Yes, big brother, this is a good idea." ā€

Zhang Congbin thought deeply and said: "Brother Qingshan, your idea is not good, have you thought about it, if this is deliberately designed by our enemy, aren't we in the middle of a trap?"

Peng Qingshan said: "Brother Zhang, you think too much, then someone will take advantage of this opportunity to frame us." ā€

Zhang Congbin worried: "Brother Qingshan, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, tigers and leopards are unbearable to ride, in this troubled world, you can't be guarded against anything,"

Lu Zhengchun said: "What the eldest brother said is also that people's hearts are unpredictable in troubled times. ā€

Zhang Congbin said with a smile: "In Zeze, the two brothers, even if it is really the accomplices of Ding and Tian who came to intimidate, just this simple letter will scare us into a mess, if it spreads, how can our brothers still mix in this world, it won't make people laugh and lose their teeth."

Peng Qingshan said: "Big brother, if you say this, according to your thoughts, how will you deal with it?"

Zhang Congbin said: "This, according to my thoughts, is to turn a deaf ear, turn a blind eye, and ignore him." ā€

Peng Qingshan said worriedly: "Big brother, your idea is good, but do you think about it, if they really do what they say, then what should we do?"

Zhang Congbin didn't care and said: "What should I do, two brothers, they are corrupt and corrupt, which is unpopular, and they dare not blatantly do anything wrong." He is saying, our brother is often in the pile of the dead, crawling and rolling, what is there to fear, don't worry, he can't become a sperm, he can't make a big wave. ā€

Peng Qingshan reminded: "Big brother, having said that, do you think about it, when we just started investigating Ding and Tian, you see how many officials interceded for the two of them, and now this situation is happening, this is no accident." ā€

Zhang Congbin said: "Brother, if you don't say it, I also know it in my heart, because of this, I won't retry this case, I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to me if it involves too much." ā€

Peng Qingshan said: "It's good that the eldest brother understands in his heart, we just give you a suggestion, nothing else, how to deal with this matter, you can handle it yourself, we will not participate." ā€

Zhang Congbin said: "Big brother knows in his heart, how to deal with me has his own measure, it's not early, you go back to rest, let's talk about this tomorrow." ā€

"Okay, big brother, you can rest too, we have arranged everything outside, and there will be no trouble. As he spoke, Lu and Peng walked out of the room and went back to their own room to rest.

Zhang Congbin sent the two away, and then lay down on the bed randomly, thinking about how to tell the story of Ding and Tian tomorrow morning, and said nothing all night.

The next day, Zhang Congbin went to the morning court, and as the palace head official said that there was something to do and go out of class in the morning, there was nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat. Randomly immediately flashed out of the shift and played how Ding Yanhui and Tian Jixun took advantage of their positions to engage in fraud, corruption, and embezzlement and sale of grain reserves.

In order to kill a policeman and punish future generations, in an instant, he ignored the advice of the ministers, and randomly issued an order, ordering Zhang Congbin to be the supervisor and beheading the official, and immediately beheaded Ding and Tian.

When Zhang Congbin heard the order, he didn't dare to slack off, so he took the order to go down to the palace, and after bringing out Ding Yanhui and Tian Jixun from the cell, he randomly escorted the two to the noon gate, and beheaded them at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After Li Siyuan heard the report, he was very happy, and in order to reward Zhang Congbin for his investigation of the case, he randomly ordered the officials to reward him.

After Shi Jingjiao and other ministers heard about it, they randomly went to the total privately, and when everything was summed up, they randomly came out to explain the arrangements to Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry.

However, it was said that although Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, was five and six, handsome and elegant, he was a person who climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix, and tended to be inflammatory.

It is said that Zhang Congbin was very happy after hearing that he was going to promote his official position, however, he never expected that from winter to spring, waiting and waiting, and the result of waiting was to be appointed as the envoy of the Lingwu Festival, and the school master was added, which made him take aback.

Someone must ask here, why is Zhang Congbin not happy if he is not promoted, I don't know the rank, that Lingwu is not compared to other places, because of its land connected to Rong Di, deep into the realm, civil strife and trouble, robbery and theft, endlessly, killing people and arson, one after another, robbing the official mansion, it happens from time to time, there are many people who are handsome, and it is really an eventful and dangerous place. Zhang Congbin knows very well that when he goes to that place as an official, he is familiar with his life, and if he goes, he will only be more auspicious and less lucky, and he will die for a lifetime. Therefore, although it is a promotion, I don't want to go.

It is said that after Zhang Congbin arrived at the Ministry of Officials, when he saw that the official who received him on duty was a weak scholar in his twenties, with a straight nose and a square mouth, and had never seen the world, he didn't care about 3721, let alone ask about the innocence, and immediately asked about the whereabouts of Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, "I said that Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, is there, let him come out to see me." ļ¼Ÿā€

In the face of his arbitrariness and domineering, the official did not dare to resist, and said helplessly: "Master Zhang, it's really unfortunate, he has something to do, and he is not here, what do you have to do with him? ā€

When Zhang Congbin heard that he was not there, he was a little unwilling to have a fire that had nowhere to vent, and after a while, he turned his mouth and asked: "He is not here, so who is in charge here now?"

The official hurriedly responded: "Lord Zhang, it just so happens that the official is on duty today, what is the matter with you?"

Zhang Congbin frowned angrily and said, "You are on duty, then what is your name?"

The official replied: "Master Zhang, your surname is Li Mingjunzhi, what advice do you have?"

Zhang Congbin said: "I said Li Junzhi, how did you send me as an official, why did you send Lingwu?"

After Li Junzhi understood the reason, he said fearlessly: "Lord Zhang, it turned out that this matter came, I should tell you the truth, this is a joint study and decision of all the people in our department, what's wrong?"

Zhang Congbin reprimanded angrily: "I said Li Junzhi, even if it was decided by your officials and subordinates, then why don't you send me to another place, but only to Lingwu?"

Li Junzhi said: "Lord Zhang, this is all according to the situation, for example, Wang Daming, who was sent with you, his talent is not as high as yours, your greatness, if you send him to a strange place, he may not be competent, so I specially sent you to Lingwu, because your ability is stronger than them, so I specially sent there." ā€

Zhang Congbin reprimanded: "You are talking nonsense, I see that you clearly want me to die, and hope that I will die early." ā€

Li Junzhi defended: "Lord Zhang, how can you understand it like this, you must know that we are all working for the emperor." ā€

Zhang Congbin reprimanded: "Li Junzhi, you don't play official in front of me, and quickly change my position?"

Li Junzhi was surprised and said: "Change, how to change?"

Zhang Congbin said angrily: "How do you say to change, of course, it is from the new place, as long as it is not Lingwu, the rest of the places will be fine." ā€

Li Junzhi affirmed: "Master Zhang, I can't be the master of this, to tell you the truth, even if Lord Zhao Feng is here, he will not agree to change the place for you from the new." ā€

"If you don't change it, then I'll go to the emperor, and he will order you to change it. ā€

Li Junzhi said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, as long as the emperor's holy decree, let alone change the place, I have no opinion on letting you come to the ministry to be a scholar." Who do you think you are, when others ask you, you don't give face, and now it's too late. ā€

Zhang Congbin guessed: "So you did it on purpose." ā€

Li Junzhi was unscrupulous and provocative: "Lord Zhang, I just said yes, you can't help it, tell you that there is no good end to being an enemy of the crowd." ā€

"Okay, you wait, I'll let you change the faction. Zhang Congbin had guessed in his heart that this must be Shi Jingjiao and they ganged up to frame him, but now Li Junzhi made it clear in front of him, he was angry, and in an instant, relying on his own hero when he started his business, he randomly got up and entered the palace, and wept to Li Siyuan about his exclusion.

Li Siyuan from the Daimyo Mansion, Zhang Congbin followed since the beginning of the struggle for the world, he was angry with Zhang Congbin in his heart, and now in the face of his crying, he was also shocked and angry, and immediately sent a decree to recruit Zhao Fenglai, the secretary of the ministry.

Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, had already heard Li Junzhi's report, and after hearing the decree, he immediately understood what was going on, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the emperor's reprimand, and changed his will, so he randomly called Shi Jingjiao, and the two of them went to the palace together to see the king.

It is said that on the golden palace of Li Siyuan, when he saw his son-in-law Shi Jingjiao and Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, knelt down three times and bowed nine times together, he randomly asked him first: "Jingjiao my son, what is the important thing in the palace today?"

Shi Jingjiao faced his questioning, he had been prepared since early on, and said unhurriedly: "My lord, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to Longmen to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and the sons and ministers were all ready, may I ask, do you set off when you start?"

Li Siyuan said: "You said this, this, you don't have to wait a while, I will deal with Zhang Congbin's matter, and I will tell you again." Zhao Aiqing, how did you do when I asked you to promote Zhang Congbin a few days ago?"

After Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, understood what was going on, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen has already chosen a place and has prepared a holy decree, and it will be issued in a few days, so that he will take office." ā€

Li Siyuan said: "Yes, then where did you send him and what kind of official did you do?"

Zhao Feng played: "If you go back to the emperor, Lingwu Festival will be the envoy." ā€

Li Siyuan said: "Lingwu, yes, then you sent him to other places, who will manage the security of my Luoyang City?"

Zhao Feng said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured about the security issues in the capital, I specially asked for the advice of Shi Juma on this matter, everything is arranged, and nothing will happen." ā€

Shi Jingjiao hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I know all this. ā€

Li Siyuan said: "That's good, alas, then why don't you send him a better place, how can you send it to Lingwu?"

Zhao Feng asked knowingly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Lingwu we sent to?"

Li Siyuan said: "In the Lingwu place, deep into the Yi realm, bandits are very rampant and dangerous. ā€

Zhao Feng praised and said: "Your Majesty, this is a mistake, when you sent Kang Fu to Lingwu as a festival envoy, he didn't say anything about danger, and he is still there." If it weren't for the fact that his term of office had expired and Zhang Congbin was capable of doing it, why wouldn't we dare to send Zhang Congbin. You must know that Lingzhou is a big passage for the Turks to enter the Central Plains, and if it can't be defended, it will endanger the social foundation. To be honest, it was precisely because Zhang Congbin's performance was competent that we sent him. Besides, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, how can it be said that if it is a little dangerous, it will be pushed back, picking fat and thin, and being afraid of the heavy. Your Majesty, don't you favor one over the other?"

Shi Jingjiao said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this Lingzhou is really important, Kangfu can be kept, if Zhang Congbin thinks that he can't keep it, then don't be an official as soon as possible, being an official is not to enjoy happiness, but to take responsibility for the country and manage things." On the way to Lingwu, a while ago, Jingnan Jun Jie Du made Yao Yan Thick and Lingwu Kangfu not just clear the place where the chaotic Fangqu was cleared, what is the danger, don't scare yourself. ā€

Zhang Congbin, who was standing next to him, faced the two of them black and white, singing and singing, echoing each other from afar, refusing in every possible way, and immediately understood what it meant, although he wanted to step forward and say a few words to make fun of them, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it, so he didn't say anything, and let the two of them talk nonsense.

Let's say that Li Siyuan saw that he was reasonable, and it was difficult to refute it, so he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Zhao Aiqing, but that place is too far away from the capital, if we want to meet, it will be difficult, you better change him to a nearby place." ā€

Zhao Feng was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you make me very embarrassed, an official document has been sent, if the order is changed, I am afraid that I will lose my trust in the world." Second, there is no suitable place, if the right official can be replaced, otherwise, I would have changed it a long time ago without you saying so much, and to tell you the truth, there is no one else except for the expiration of the health and welfare period. If you force me to change it, please decide for yourself. ā€

Li Siyuan saw that it couldn't work horizontally or vertically, and he was angry, "You, you, you slave who admits death, you are really angry with me, if I want to know what is appropriate to send there, and discuss anything with you, I will send it directly." ā€

Zhao Feng said: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty, if this is the case, then please change the assignment." ā€

"You, you, you get out of here. Li Siyuanwan didn't expect to say it for a long time, but the result was the same as not saying it, he was so angry that he trembled all over, and drove Zhao Fengye away with a sharp voice.

When Zhao Feng, the secretary of the ministry, heard the sound, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately grabbed his tail and hurriedly went down to the palace.

Li Siyuan turned around and said helplessly: "Congbin, you see, this is not my intention." ā€

Zhang Congbin saw that it was a foregone conclusion, so he resigned himself to his fate and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen this, even if they insist on letting me go, then forget it, I will be careful when I go."

Li Siyuan comforted: "Congbin, don't be discouraged, otherwise, I will send an army to escort you to Lingwu, and then, after giving you a secret decree, when you get to the local area, if anything happens, you can move the team at will and conquer them." ā€

"Okay, then I thank the emperor, I'll go back and prepare for nothing. ā€

"Okay, when you leave, I won't send you, take care of yourself!"

"Thank you. Zhang Congbin saw that he couldn't change it, so he randomly went down to the palace after receiving the order and went back to make arrangements.

Not to mention what Shi Jingjiao and they talked about after Zhang Congbin left the Golden Palace, nor did he say how Zhang Congbin prepared, but said that Fuju looked at his son Fuyu, and he was getting older day by day, and he was happy.

On this day, Fuju they went to Zhang Congbin to visit the door, heard that Zhang Congbin was sent to Lingwu, since also surprised, in the face of Zhang Congbin's family frowning, such as the expression of the execution ground, thinking about it, since I don't know how to persuade also, it is night, after returning home, I discussed with his wife Zhu Baozhen how to help Zhang Congbin, when a discussion, except to protect in person, since there is no better way, decided to follow, in order to facilitate the departure at any time, the next day, Fuju will deal with everything at hand.

After making some arrangements, Zhang Congbin selected more than 20 people led by Lu Zhengchun and Peng Qingshan as his personal guards in his own team, and after completing all the formalities, he left Luoyang with his family and took up his post in a few days.

Zhang Congbin rode a horse to lead the way in the familiar streets, looking at the flow of people from east to west, south to north, facing the situation of being deserted and unsent, his mood was very heavy, just as he commanded the carriage carrying his wife and son to go out of the city gate first, and he followed the horse out of the city, a familiar shout, suddenly came from behind, he felt strange, couldn't help but look back at the horse, when he saw his sworn brother Fuju driving a carriage, rushing from behind, and stopping in front of him, he couldn't help but complain in the past, "Brother Fu, didn't we say yes that day, we wouldn't let you come to deliver it, why did you come again, and you were still in a hurry, you really have you. ā€

Fuju said: "Who said that I sent you, we are also going to Lingwu." ā€

"What?" Zhang Congbin couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise: "You guys also go to Lingwu, Brother Fu, what are you kidding?"

Fuju said with a serious face: "Brother Congbin, who is joking with you, we are real." ā€

Zhu Baozhen agreed: "Yes, Brother Congbin, we are real. ā€

Zhang Congbin didn't expect Fuju to give up everything for himself for the sake of friendship, for a while, he was a little excited, he didn't know what to say, and said incoherently: "Brother Fu, your sudden attack is too unbearable, why don't you notify me in advance." ā€

Fuju said: "Brother Congbin, what do you ask me to say, there is nothing to say." ā€

Zhang Congbin complained: "Brother Fu, you shouldn't quit your job, you have to know how difficult it is,"

Fuju said: "Brother, there is nothing to regret, isn't it just a firewood broker, there is nothing to be nostalgic for." ā€

Zhang Congbin said with some regret: "Brother Fu, you must know how difficult it is to know everything, it is not easy for you to live a good life, how can you give up everything for me!"

Fuju said: "Brother, if you want to say this, then it will be outside, at the beginning, if you didn't desperately save us, we could have today, and now when you need help, I can stand by and stay out of the matter." ā€

Although Zhang Congbin was very grateful for his affection and righteousness, he finally felt that he should not go, so he re-advised: "Brother Fu, the current situation cannot be compared with that time, brother, I am sent by the official family, and you have no name and no share." There is no future or any chance of getting ahead. is saying that there are nine deaths and one life, and there are many auspicious and few evil, in case there are three long and two short words, crying without tears. Go back, it's not worth your go. ā€

Fuju said: "Brother Congbin, don't say that, it's your opinion whether it's worth it or not, and I think it's worth it." Brother understands what you mean, but you should also understand Brother's mind. ā€

ā€œć€ć€ć€ć€ć€ć€ā€

Zhang Congbin saw that persuasion was no longer possible, and in an instant, he nodded and agreed.

Fuju was happy, and immediately drove after Zhang Shijie and them.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old Zhang Shijie was happy when he saw that Fuju's six- and seven-year-old son Fuyu was also going to follow them to Lingwu, and the two immediately sat in a car and played together.

In March, the spring flowers are blooming, the flowers are blooming, the scenery is beautiful, neither hot nor cold, warm and pleasant.

It is said that Zhang Congbin and his entourage left Luoyang, along the way along the official road, went to Yuzhou, crossed Tongguan, passed through Weinan, went north from Chang'an to Pizhou, passed Ningzhou, crossed the Meridian Ridge, followed the Maling River, crossed Qingzhou, went to Fangqu, crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains, pulled mountains and waded through waters, and was not hungry and thirsty, and lived in Xiaoxing at night.

Zhang Congbin and Fuju talked about some gossip along the way, talked about the past, and in a day, they crossed Qinggang Gorge and entered the territory of Lingwu, and they were getting closer and closer to Lingzhou City.

Let's say that Zhang Congbin and they crossed the Qinggang Gorge, and when they saw that the road was getting narrower from wide, they were afraid of any accidents, so they involuntarily raised their hearts, however, along the way, things were not as bad as the legend, and they were about to enter Lingzhou City, and they couldn't help but relax their tense nerves.

Lingzhou City, located on the east bank of the Yellow River, is an important town in the north of Guanzhong, which connects the Western Regions and the Central Plains tributary and trade, and the only way to pass through the eastern section of the Silk Road, and the geographical location is very important. Moreover, due to the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang of Tang Suzong was located in this Lingzhou, which made it even more famous and famous.

In the evening of this day, when Zhang rested from the Bintou Station, he was anxious to inquire about the distance from the post station staff, and when he learned that he could reach Lingzhou City after walking more than ten miles forward, he was happy, and after dinner, he rested. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, he got up from the bed in a hurry, packed up and got ready, and just after breakfast, he randomly urged him to set off.

Fuju and the others all understood his feelings, and they didn't argue with him, so they set off on the road with a smile, and on the way to Lingzhou City a little earlier, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Anxious and fast, at all times, they traveled to this place five or six miles away from Lingzhou City, just as they walked quickly through the village and passed, suddenly a shouting and fighting sound, from their village came out, since they couldn't help but be taken aback, the blue sky and white sun, Lang Lang Qiankun, there is no war here, how can there be a tearing sonar in this village, they are strange and puzzled, they are surprised, in order to see what is going on, urge the horse to go to the village.

But I saw dozens of big men holding wooden sticks, like wolves and tigers, chasing a team of marrying relatives regardless of three, seven or twenty-one, extremely vicious, and incomparable.

And the men, women, and children who greet their relatives are crying for their fathers and mothers, staggering, and not looking like adults. The scene of the present sound is tragic and miserable, and it is unbearable to see.

Although Zhang Congbin didn't know why they were fighting here, but for a happy event, so like this, his heart could not accept it, when he saw that the more than 30 big men knocked down all the people who greeted their relatives like robbers, and did not care about the bride in the sedan chair crying and screaming, and when he was about to go in the direction of Lingzhou, the anger in his heart couldn't help but burn up all of a sudden, and in an instant, he shouted "Stop," and chased after the horse.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengchun left Peng Qingshan and Fuju two or three people to protect his family, and led the others to follow him.

Let's say that after Zhang Congbin chased after the group of big men on the horse, he randomly turned the horse's head, and immediately blocked their way forward with a horizontal knife, and in the face of its rapid movement, he immediately shouted to him, "Well, who are you, in broad daylight, dare to rob the sedan chair, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?"

The more than 30 imposing big men escorted the sedan chair, raised their legs and just walked out of three or two steps, suddenly saw someone with a horse blocking the way forward, not to mention, but also surrounded them in front and back, left and right, I couldn't help but be taken aback, hurriedly stopped, in an instant, a playboy dressed in bells and whistles, oily hair and flour noodles jumped out, pointed at Zhang Congbin with no good face, no good words, eight feet horizontally, jumped vertically and scolded, "Who are you?" Dare to block the uncle's way, don't you want to live, get out of the way as soon as possible, otherwise, the master will be welcome. ā€

Zhang Congbin didn't expect the other party to be so invincible and had no one in his eyes, so he was a little angry, and in an instant, his face sank, and he scolded the past, "Well, in broad daylight, you dare to be so presumptuous, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?"

The boy was unscrupulous and lawless: "Wang Fa? Wang Fa is set by the master's family, you had better get out of the way for me quickly, otherwise, I will not be polite." ā€

Seeing that he was so presumptuous and willful, Zhang Congbin didn't take himself seriously at all, so he was angry, and asked angrily: "Who are you, you have the courage to report your name and surname, but I want to see that you are an immortal." ā€

"Boy, in this way, you don't know who the master is, you just give way. ā€

"Of course, if you want to know that the master is also going south and north, just rely on your two empty words, if the master retreats, won't it make people laugh out of their big teeth when they are passed on. ā€

"Okay, you don't know whether you live or die, even if you don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, then you can stand firm for me, listen, Ye is a famous name, no one knows, no one knows Xu Jinyin, the son of Xu Xianhuan, the deputy envoy of Lingwu Jiedu, you better get away with me today, otherwise, if you don't die, you will be able to shed your skin." "It turned out that the person who commanded the robbery of the sedan chair was none other than Xu Jinyin, the son of Xu Xianhuan, the deputy envoy of Lingwu Jiedu, no wonder he was so unscrupulous and lawless.

After Zhang Congbin understood, he immediately laughed, "I still think you are the son of the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, it turns out that you are just the son of a deputy envoy of the festival, I really don't know how to mention it, boy, do you know who I am?"

When Xu Jinyin heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

Zhang Congbin sneered: "Boy, you also stand firm for me, listen up, the master will not change his name, he will not change his surname, his surname Zhang Congbin will be the envoy of this Lingwu Festival." ā€

Xu Jinyin couldn't help but be taken aback, and his fear couldn't help but rise from the bottom of his heart, "What, you are Zhang Congbin, the envoy of the Lingwu Festival who is about to take office." ā€

Zhang Congbin raised his eyebrows angrily and asked: "Yes, I am Zhang Congbin, I said Xu Jinyin, what is going on, are you bullying the weak and doing nonsense?"

Xu Jinyin defended: "Master Zhang, you can't just talk nonsense based on your eyes, wronged a good person, I have a marriage contract with her." ā€

Zhang Congbin was surprised: "There is a fixed ceremony? You two have a fixed ceremony, but why does such a thing happen?"

Xu Jinyin said: "This is all because her parents are greedy for money. ā€

"Lord Jiedu, he is talking nonsense, things are not like that at all, the villain is wronged, please be the master of the grass people. With a roar of rebuke, a young man with a bleeding head, disheveled clothes, and red and green, cried and stumbled from the crowd that fell to the ground, and crawled and threw himself at Zhang Congbin.

Zhang Congbin didn't believe Xu Jinyin's words, and was about to find someone to inquire, when he suddenly saw someone coming to cry, and without waiting for him to come to him, he randomly inquired about it, "Who are you, what grievances do you have, tell me quickly." ā€

And said that the crying for help, is not someone else, but the groom Zhao Wenle, after he was knocked down by the stick, the anxiety in his heart is not knowing what to do, when he heard in desperation that the person is the new Lingwu Festival envoy Zhang Congbin, as if he grabbed a life-saving straw in the ocean, instantly, desperately struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood on his face, dragged the injured leg, then crutched and asked Zhang Congbin for redress, and as soon as he arrived in front of Zhang Congbin's horse, 'plopped', he knelt on his knees, and cried with a nose and tears about Xu Jinyin's atrocities. "My lord, the grass people are the groom of this wedding, Zhao Wenle, he Xu Jinyin bullies the weak, bullies people, in broad daylight, does evil, does wrong, robs my sedan chair, please make the decision for the grass people, and severely punish them. ā€

Xu Jinyin scolded sharply: "Zhao Wenle, you are talking nonsense, it is you who are bold and untrustworthy, not me, you don't pretend to be pitiful in front of others, ask for sympathy, uncle, I will never approve of it." ā€

Zhang Congbin reprimanded sharply: "Xu Jinyin, what are you doing, tell you, when the official is questioning, you are not allowed to interject, stumble, this time I will spare you for the time being, if you dare to disobey again next time, you will be held responsible." ā€

Xu Jinyin agreed: "Yes, yes, my lord, but he talked nonsense, I really couldn't help but reprimand." ā€

Zhang Congbin said: "I really can't help it, I have to endure it, after listening to his statement, Lord Ben will make up his mind about this matter, Zhao Wenle, you say, what's going on here? To tell the truth, this section will definitely be the master for you." ā€

If you want to know what Zhao Wenle will say, how Zhang Congbin will deal with it, and watch the next time.
