Chapter 22 The Whipping of the Postmaster
In the second year of Zhongping, the world turned another chapter, and the devastation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, and the heroes who had been gathering momentum for a long time were about to draw their swords and show their edge!
Soon after Ma Yue left Luoyang, the Han Palace was ignited by a nameless fire, and the Han Emperor Liu Hong issued an edict to the governors of counties, counties, and prefectures in various places, and the officers donated 'palace repair money' according to their official positions, and sent the Yellow Gate of the Four Directions to collect palace repair money from all over the country.
Anxi County, Jizhou is a small county, not outstanding, not prosperous, but here because of a shining figure and famous, right now.
When the Yellow Gate, who collected money in the palace, arrived here, he assigned the superintendent to collect money from the counties, and at the same time, the superintendent also had the mission handed over by the county general -- to strictly investigate the old Ge who was promoted to an important position in the county because of the promotion of the yellow scarves.
The official position of post superintendent is lowly and powerful, and he has the power to investigate the integrity of the officials in the county, and it can be said that he is the second official position with the highest authority in a county under the county general.
The first is naturally the merit of the officials in charge.
The superintendent arrived in Anxi County, and did not yet identify himself, so he first went around the county, and felt that this county order was not bad, although there was no great merit in governing the land, there was no big mistake, and he knew that the county lieutenant here was also promoted from Yijie Township because of military merits, so he went to the county soldiers to take a look.
Seeing this, he shook his head, the sergeants on the school field were boisterous, and the armor was thrown away, this county lieutenant is ten out of ten problematic! He hurriedly looked for the name of the county lieutenant.
"Liu Bei, a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, was born in the township Yongbao Northern Army's baggage battalion, and was promoted to Anxi County Captain."
The superintendent crossed out with a red pen next to Liu Bei's name.
That night, the superintendent lived in the pavilion outside Anxi City, and received the famous assassination of Liu Xuande.
The superintendent thought about it, this county lieutenant must have heard the rumors and came to give him a gift, if he was greedy because of the courtesy, wouldn't it be a violation of the law, and he decided not to see Liu Bei at the moment.
In fact, the governor wronged Liu Bei, Keju is a good way to train troops in Liu Bei's opinion, and their duties are just to arrest bandits and guard the city wall, and there is almost no chance to display the military formation, not to mention that the arrangement of troops is too esoteric, he has no opportunity to study since he was a child, and he just relies on his enthusiasm when he participates in the war, where to know the art of war.
There are many benefits of Keju, especially exercising endurance, at least running fast, chasing quickly, and escaping without a shadow, so Liu Bei is juju with the county soldiers all day long. Today, I suddenly received a message from the local pavilion chief, and the county governor mail arrived, asking the pavilion chief to feed the horses and prepare to leave for tomorrow.
Liu Bei wondered, this superintendent visited the counties, but he was just a supervising official, why did he come and not see himself as a county lieutenant?
Later, Liu Bei inquired that the superintendent had gone to see the county order, and said that the county order's duties were good, and he came to see whether the military merit was diligent.
When he heard this, Liu Bei was even more puzzled, what was the reason for seeing the county order but not seeing the county lieutenant, so he rushed to the pavilion overnight to meet the superintendent.
But he was told that the superintendent was sick and could not come out to see him.
Liu Bei was furious when he heard this, this superintendent is too much of a bastard! Immediately knocked on the door and asked, "Inspector, you can see the county commander during the day, why can't you see the county lieutenant at night?" Couldn't you be sick enough to give you some medicine? ”
The superintendent was also anxious when he heard this, and said: "If Your Excellency comes to deliver the decoction, it is better to be exempt, there is no shortage of decoction here, even if it is gold and silver, don't think about it!" ”
The superintendent was very afraid that Liu Bei would pay bribes, but these words were much harsh in Liu Bei's ears, and even heard other meanings.
On that day, Lu Zhi took the eunuch of the Son of Heaven to escort the prisoner car, and the eunuch asked for Mr. 'Money to buy shoes!' This superintendent is asking for bribes!
Liu Bei's face was full of anger, and he walked around the open space in the middle of the pavilion, and the more he thought about the surprised and unbelievable expression of the gentleman at that time, the more angry he felt.
Walking to the door of the pavilion, Liu Bei stopped and looked at the front blankly, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind.
Zhang Fei Jian Yong, and his brother Liu Deran stood at the entrance of the pavilion, everyone didn't know what to think, they had never seen Liu Bei so angry for several years, Zhang Fei's heart was full of purlins, that is, he had never seen Liu Bei's face so bad when he usually lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes!
Liu Deran grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve and said, "Brother, no...... Let's go, if he doesn't let his brother be an official, he won't do it, let's go back to Zhuo County, wouldn't we be happy? ”
Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Deran with wide eyes in the back, he has always respected Liu Bei and Liu Deran, compared with their clan background, his background as a little tyrant is not worth mentioning, and even his respect for Liu Deran is greater than that of Liu Bei. But he can't agree with Liu Deran's words, he Zhang Yide can be regarded as having scattered all his family wealth for this army, if Liu Bei says to go back at this time, he will have nothing.
He doesn't have Liu Bei's teacher and brother, he only has this martial arts, and he won't be able to do anything even if he doesn't want to go back!
"What Deran said is right, it's okay if this official doesn't do it!" Liu Bei's dazed eyes suddenly had a focus, and in Liu Deran's joy and Zhang Fei's bewilderment, Liu Bei turned back suddenly, his eyes flashing with surging anger. "Dog corrupt official, I want you to look good!"
That's evil to the guts!
A gust of wind rushed to the door of the pavilion, and a kick of the leg was a kick to the door!
"Bang!"
The superintendent heard that there was silence outside the house for a long time, and when Liu Bei left, he was packing his bags with his back to the door, and he could complete the errand assigned by the county general tomorrow, and everything would be fine.
His heart had just relaxed, but he heard a loud noise, and the door was kicked open, and a handsome young man rushed out, raised a powerful fist and punched down in front of his forehead, hitting him with gold stars in his eyes!
This was not over, and then the post supervisor felt his collar tighten, and the whole person was lifted up by the young man's hands, and his body was in sharp pain.
The post supervisor was thrown out of the pavilion and smashed to the ground, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others were stunned, all this happened between the lightning and flint, and everyone's heads couldn't react, so they saw Liu Bei blushing and panting, not only did he untie the belt around his waist and came over to the outer robe of the pavilion.
"Gagged and tied up!"
If it was usual, Zhang Fei didn't listen to Liu Bei's orders so easily, he was much braver than Liu Bei on the battlefield, and the soldiers listened to his dispatch more, although now he is a team leader under Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei is not an official, then he is not a person under Liu Bei.
But the problem is that Liu Bei is now in a state of rage, and Zhang Fei, who is angry and hot-tempered, doesn't dare not listen, and he bundles up the post supervisor in a mess.
"Bring the whip!"
Jian Yong held the horsewhip, stepped forward and said, "Xuande is angry, angry!"
The furious Liu Beicai didn't care so much, he pulled the horse whip from Jian Yong's hand, and threw it on the body of the post supervisor with a whip, and there was a muffled sound!
The superintendent nodded vigorously to forgive, Liu Bei shook a few whips to lose his temper, and let out a sigh of relief, Liu Bei hung the county lieutenant's seal on the tree, led everyone to lead the horse out of the pavilion unhurriedly, turned a corner, Liu Bei hurriedly got on the horse and said, "Let's go!" ”
Zhang Fei stood still and asked, "Xuande, where are we going?" I don't want to go back! ”
Liu Deran had a happy look on his face, and said angrily: "Where can I go if I don't go back?" ”
"Go back?" Liu Bei smiled rarely, "No, let's go to Luoyang!" Mr. is back, Shang Shuling! ”
Zhang Fei's face bloomed with joy when he heard this, he turned over and rushed out first, and everyone took advantage of the night to gallop towards Luoyang.
Liu Bei, Liu Xuande.
In this way, the first time this name entered the ears of most people in this era was because he whipped the superintendent of the post and abandoned the official position.
