"PS: Zhao Bing's incident is just an introduction, let me tell you slowly."

———— the following text————

"How many fields do I have?"

When leaving the Xinxiang Mansion, Zhao Yu handed the contract signed by Zhao Bing to Ding Wu.

As long as there is this contract, the fields and mountains and forests of the Zhao family in Luyang will all belong to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Bing will no longer be able to threaten the Luyang County Ya with these.

"Pretty much." Ding Wu solemnly accepted the contract and said casually: "When Duke Yin was in charge of the county government, there were almost 20,000 acres of the Xianghou Mansion, all of which were transferred to the Xianghou Mansion by the local people in difficult times over the years. Little things add up, and slowly more and more. ”

"I see."

Zhao Yu nodded suddenly, because logically speaking, the local nobles only have the privilege of 'eating households', and there should not be much land, it is estimated that it is like what Ding Wu said, it is the field that Zhao Yu's ancestors slowly harvested, after all, the privilege of 'eating thousands of households', it is like a chicken that can lay golden eggs, even if Luyang County is poor, it can't be poor in the township mansion.

"By the way, the lieutenant won't regret it, right?"

Ding Wu, who was in a good mood, rarely made a joke.

Of course, although it is a joke, but there is no temptation, after all, as far as he knows, Luyang Township Marquis has more than 20,000 acres of land in the local area, and they are all good land, although the total area of cultivated land in Luyang County is also more than 100,000 acres, but a considerable part of it is not good land, in other words, more than 20,000 acres of land in Luyang Zhao, is of great significance to the county government.

"Huh."

Zhao Yu smiled and didn't explain anything.

Did he want to explain to Ding Wu that as long as he nodded, Chen Lang of Yingchuan County would privately allocate 50,000 mu of official land to him?

Hearing Zhao Yu's chuckle, Ding Wu seemed to understand something, and he was completely relieved.

He said to Zhao Yu: "I thank Du Wei on behalf of Liu Gong and the people of Luyang, but I don't know, will this matter bring trouble to Du Wei?" ”

"Trouble?"

Zhao Yu looked up at the road.

He, a lieutenant of Yingchuan, ran to Nanyang County and took away 20,000 acres of land from a townsman in Nanyang County, how could there be no trouble?

There is no doubt that people like Wang Shangde, Wang Yan and others will definitely find him.

It's just that compared with the past, Zhao Yu can have the battle of not being afraid of Wang Shangde.

As for whether this matter will arouse the anger of this old man after being learned of by Taishi Chen, it can only be said that it is too pedantic to think about this old man, considering that Zhao Yu did not take advantage of this matter, and handed over all the fields taken from Zhao Bing's hands to the Luyang County Ya, Taishi Chen could not punish him at all, at most he just asked what was going on.

At that time, as long as Zhao Yu told Chen Taishi the fact that Zhao Bing 'ruined the reputation of the Zhao clan in Luyang', 'oppressed the good people', and 'threatened the government', according to his understanding of Chen Taishi, this old man would only turn a blind eye - don't look at this old man who is dedicated to the country and looks like he is very stupid and loyal, but in fact, this old man has a clear understanding of good and evil in his heart, but his position makes him unable to make inner choices in many things.

Compared with being blamed by Taishi Chen for this incident, Zhao Yu was more concerned about whether this old man would find his connection with the Luyang Zhao family from all kinds of clues, so as to identify his true identity.

Although even if Taishi Chen found out his true identity, there was a high probability that he would not harm him, but Zhao Yu believed that the old man would not give him a chance to do anything else, and he would definitely transfer him to his command as a general, and take him Zhao Yu to fight in the south and the north, completely cutting off some of his thoughts.

Therefore, Zhao Yu had to communicate with Liu Xuan, Xu Xuan, Ding Wu and others in advance to unify his voice, that is, he Zhao Yu was invited by Liu Xuan to deal with Zhao Bing.

In this way, Taishi Chen should no longer suspect anything.

"I see." Ding Wu nodded and said, "Please allow me to go back to the county government first, and by the way, transfer this contract to Duke Liu." ”

In view of the fact that he was a guide this time, he did not bring the county guard with him, so he could only do it in person when he sent the contract to Liu Wei.

Of course, considering the importance of this contract, Ding Wu was not at ease about handing it over to ordinary county officials - this is also the reason why he did not mention letting the black tigers around Zhao Yu send it to Liu Wei on his behalf.

Zhao Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, I'll meet in Zhengxiang tomorrow, I just went to Zhengxiang to take a look at your family, I heard that your family, there is another person in the family." ”

"Ah, Ma gave her another fat boy."

Ding Wu smiled, immediately said goodbye to Zhao Yu, and turned around to return to the county office.

And Zhao Yu took Niu Heng and Jingnu to Zhengxiang.

An hour later, Zhao Yu and his party came to Zhengxiang.

Soon after Zhao Yu sent the Black Tigers to report in advance, Ding Lu took Feng Bu and Zu Xing, two good brothers, out of the village to greet Zhao Yu.

Under the leadership of Ding Wu, Zhao Yu visited Zhengxiang at will.

As when he fled to Luyang a few years earlier, Zheng Township is still a distribution of a village in Qudong and a village in Quxi—Quxi Village is Zheng Village, and Zheng Luo was born in this village; Qudong is a former refugee tun, and over the years, he has mainly relied on repairing the Jinggong Canal for the county Yaxing.

However, now, due to the obstruction of Ruyang County, the Jinggong Canal has been temporarily suspended, and Ding Lu's gang of people who make a living by repairing river canals have temporarily lost their livelihood.

In view of this, Zhao Yu comforted Ding Lu and said: "I will solve this matter." …… I went to Ruyang this time to solve this matter. ”

Ding Lu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is the son sure?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled.

Grasp?

With his current status and identity, it can almost be said that he is crushed when he arrives in Ruyang, even if the county commander Wang Dan is a member of Wang Taishi's clan?

Although it is a bit embarrassing to say, the golden sign of Taishi Chen has indeed brought him too much convenience.

"Don't worry."

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Childe."

After chatting a few words, Ding Lu led Zhao Yu and his party to his house, and called his wife Ma to meet Zhao Yu.

Seeing Zhao Yu again after a few years, Ma was very excited, and after chatting with Zhao Yu for a few words, he ran to the kitchen, probably to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain Zhao Yu and his party.

By the way, compared with previous years, Ma has shown a little old, the original black hair has appeared a little gray, probably raising four children is too hard, but her face is full of happy smiles, especially when she faces the four children in the family.

This made Zhao Yu feel an inexplicable emotion, although he couldn't say the specifics.

During dinner in the evening, Zhao Yu casually chatted with Ding Lu and others about Zhao Bing, and also talked about him forcing Zhao Bing to sign a contract for the transfer of land, which made Ding Lu very happy.

He said to Zhao Yu: "This Zhao Bing, there is no one around here who does not dislike him." …… Except for the beginning, later the nearby villagers only called him 'Zhao Gongzi', and they didn't recognize him as a townsman, and it is estimated that this incident also made Zhao Bing hate. ”

"I see."

Zhao Yu was slightly surprised.

He carefully recalled today's group of people from Tunchang Hou Lin, he didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Hou Lin and those people really didn't shout 'Xianghou' to Zhao Bing from beginning to end, no wonder Zhao Bing wanted to drive people out, thinking that the contradictions between the two sides had already intensified.

After dinner, while Jingnu took Bi'er to help Ma and his children wash the dishes and chopsticks, Ding Lu chatted with Zhao Yu about the issue of 'Luyang Zhao's MG', as if he wanted to ask Zhao Yu if he could regain the MG of Luyang Zhao.

In Ding Lu's words, although Zhao Yu temporarily got more than 20,000 acres of land from Zhao Bing, only if Zhao Yu completely regained the name of 'Luyang Township Marquis', and even the county government, and even the people of the entire Luyang County, can they be completely relieved, after all, Zhao Bing still has the privilege of 'eating thousands of households', who knows if this guy will retaliate?

For this matter, Zhao Yu also felt quite a headache, after all, compared to taking back the more than 20,000 acres of land, it was not an easy task to get back their family's name and privileges.

It's one thing to take it back or not, and whether it will lead to the exposure of his true identity is another thing.

Zhao Yu also wanted to take advantage of the development of the Jin Kingdom for a while, but he didn't want to tear his face so early.

He thought for a moment and said to Ding Lu, "Let's wait for me to come back from Ruyang first." …… If Zhao Bing is restless, I will clean him up again. ”

Seeing this, Ding Lu couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod.

That night, Ding Lu vacated a few rooms in the village for Zhao Yu and his party to live in.

Around midnight the next day, Ding Wu, the lieutenant of Luyang County, came to Zheng Township.

After staying at Ding Lu's house for breakfast, Zhao Yu and his party said goodbye to Ding Lu and Ma's couple, and continued to Ruyang along Jinggong Canal.

Two days later, Zhao Yu and his entourage arrived in Ruyang County.

After entering the city, Zhao Yu instructed Gong Jiao to take Jingnu and Bi'er to the post house in the city to settle down, while he took Niu Heng and He Shun all the way to the county office.

After a while, a small official came to the office of the county commander Wang Dan out of breath, and said urgently: "Prince, prince, there is a report from the doorman that Zhou Hu, the governor of Yingchuan, is outside the county government and asks to meet the prince. ”

“……”

Wang Dan's eyes widened in shock.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhao Yu and Chen Taishi has not actually spread, at least Wang Dan doesn't know about it, but even so, the Governor of Yingchuan is also a big official, and it is worth Wang Dan to treat carefully.

Not to mention that Wang Dan also learned that the 'Yingchuan Governor Zhou Hu' was the hero who defeated the rebels twice in Kunyang and Xuchang, and was the real 'tiger general' in Yingchuan County.

"What is the tiger doing in my Ruyang County this week?"

Wang Dan felt a little incredible, after all, Ruyang County belonged to Henan County, so what did Zhou Hu do when he went to his jurisdiction in Henan County?

The only thing he could think of was a rebellion in the Ique area.

As far as he knew, the rebellion in the Yique area was quite fierce, because his Henan Governor Li Meng had not yet led the army back to Henan County, and no one suppressed the rebellion in the Yique area, so that the group of 'Yique thieves' was quite fierce.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and prepared to personally greet the Lieutenant Yingchuan.

At the same time, Zhao Yu was standing at the gate of the county ya, looking at the horizontal plaque above the door of the county yafu with nostalgic eyes, after all, nine years ago, he did not run this county ya, whether it was for his Luyang work for relief, or for the Zheng family of Ruyang.

Just when he sighed, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bloated figure hurrying towards this side, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Dan and Wang Fengzhong, the county commanders.

"Xiaguan Ruyang County ordered Wang Dan to meet Zhou Duwei."

Panting and walking quickly in front of Zhao Yu, Wang Dan bowed his hands.

Zhao Yu gave a false slap and said with a smile: "There is an order from Laowang County to come out to greet him, and Zhou Hu is ashamed." ”

"Where, Where, ......"

Wang Dan was about to say a few words of flattery, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ding Wu standing behind Zhao Yu, and his face immediately became a little unsightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled slightly: This Wang Dan is still very smart.

He smiled quietly: "Wang County Order, let's go to the ya, how about it?" ”

"Good, good."

Wang Dan nodded again and again, during which he glanced at Ding Wu a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and thought a little.

A moment later, Zhao Yu and his entourage came to the latter's house under the guidance of Wang Dan.

After the little official served the tea and left, Zhao Yu didn't hide it, and explained his intention straight to the point: "Wang County Order, when you see County Lieutenant Ding, I'm afraid you have already guessed a few points, right?" …… In this case, Zhou will not hide it, Zhou came this time, he was entrusted by Liu Wei and Liu Gong of Luyang County to talk with Wang County about the Jinggong Canal, what kind of price does Luyang have to pay, and your county allows Luyang to continue construction, Wang County may wish to talk to Zhou. ”

"This ......"

Wang Dan's face was a little ugly.

Where did he think that Liu Wei, the commander of Luyang County, could invite Zhou Hu, the governor of Yingchuan, to come forward to speak for him?

He said euphemistically: "The lower officials don't know that Zhou Duwei actually knows Liu Gong......"

Zhao Yu had already thought of the rhetoric on the way to come, and said with a smile: "Wang Xianling may not know that Zhou is originally from Nanyang County, and fled to Luyang ten years ago due to the war in Nanyang...... The kindness of the Luyang townsman is still remembered by Zhou. ”

From the side, Ding Wu also smiled and filled up the story for Zhao Yu: "Ding met Zhou Duwei by chance, but he didn't expect that Zhou Duwei was also from Nanyang, and even lived in my Luyang for a while......"

Listening to Zhao Yu and Ding Wu's words of you and me, Wang Dan's face was ugly, but he also understood the reason why Zhou Hu wanted to support Lu Yang.

Sure enough, after Ding Wu finished speaking, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Zhou's respecter, Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, heard that Luyang County was building a canal in the name of Gong Jing, and Zhou was also quite concerned, but he didn't know how this canal hindered Guixian County and was ordered to stop by Wang County?" ”

"This ......"

Listening to the other party's tone gradually become serious, Wang Dan secretly complained in his heart.

At the same time, in Wancheng, Nanyang County, a soldier also hurried into Wang Shangde's house.

"General, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be a servant of the Marquis of Luyang, and he begs to see the general."

Hearing this, the general sitting in the room raised his head and looked at his face to see that this person was not Wang Shangde, the general of Nanyang, but Wang Shangde's brother, Wang Yan.

Wang Shangde himself is still in Gangneung, Nanjun.

"Luyang Township?"

Wang Yan was slightly stunned, and then the face of a gentleman appeared in his mind, and he suddenly said, "Oh, it's him...... He's sending someone to give a gift again? Hehe, although he is a countryman, he is also generous, well, he also knows how to be a man...... Let him in. ”

"Yes!" The soldier clenched his fists and walked away, leading a man into the house again.

This man is the servant next to Zhao Bing, Yao Jin.

"Villain Yao Jin, meet General Wang."

"No courtesy."

Wang Yan looked Yao Jin up and down a few times.

Although he also knew what kind of goods Zhao Bing was now, who asked the other party to give a lot of gifts to their brothers and the generals of their Nanyang Army, even for the sake of those gifts, Wang Yan had to greet politely: "How is Zhao Xianghou lately?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yao Jin said with indignation on his face: "General Wang, my hometown Hou has been humiliated recently, and more than 20,000 acres of land have been taken away, and I asked General Wang to administer justice for us." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Yan was slightly stunned.

On the ground in Luyang County, there are still people who dare to bully the Luyang townspeople? Even more than 20,000 acres of land were taken away?

"Who?" He asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Yao Jin clenched his fists and said, "That person claims to be Zhou Hu, the commander of Yingchuan......"

"Zhou Hu?"

Wang Yan's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

Zhao Bing's master and servant didn't know the details of Zhou Hu, and Wang Dan, the commander of Ruyang County, didn't know the details of Zhou Hu, but Wang Yan was clear, including the fact that Zhou Hu was the son of Taishi Chen.

"What the hell is going on?"

Unconsciously, Wang Yan's tone also became serious.

Yao Jin was slightly startled, lowered his head and said, "My master was framed by the county government. …… On that day, the master of my house took me and others with the intention of driving away the common people in my field......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly added: "That piece of land, originally owned by my township marquis' mansion, leased to the county government a few years ago, and now wants to take it back, but the county government does not agree, and privately connives, those common people seize the land, and the township marquis has no choice but to take people to expel ......"

"Tell me about the tiger of the week!" Wang Yan interrupted impatiently: "How did you provoke that Zhou Hu?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Yao Jin nodded again and again, and hurriedly explained: "That day, the townsman took me to drive away the group of common people, but unexpectedly, the county lieutenant Ding Wu actually led the Zhou Duwei to that field, I didn't know the identity of the Zhou Duwei, and I was offended, so he took the handle and demanded that unless my hometown Hou gave up more than 20,000 acres of land, he would be severely punished." …… We have no choice but to agree. ”

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Wang Yan and begged, "General Wang, you have to make the decision for us." ”

“……”

Wang Yan frowned and said nothing.

Through Yao Jin's description, he roughly guessed that Zhou Hu's purpose should not be to seize the more than 20,000 acres of land of the Zhao family in Luyang, but to specially support the Luyang County Ya, and Zhao Bing, a group of fools, happened to fall into the handle, so that they were naturally blackmailed by Zhou Hu.

He could even guess that the more than 20,000 acres of land that Zhou Hu extorted from Zhao Bing should have been handed over to the Luyang County Ya, and he should not keep it for himself - otherwise this matter would be stabbed to Chen Taishi's side, and Zhou Hu himself would not be able to explain.

Therefore, in terms of circumstances, Zhou Hu just did something that made the Luyang County Ya applaud.

But you, Lieutenant Yingchuan, went to my Nanyang County to support Luyang County and interfere in the affairs of my Nanyang County, what does this mean?

Yes, Wang Yan was not angry that Zhouhu snatched the land of a townsman in his Nanyang County, but that Zhou Hu didn't even say hello and interfered in the affairs of his Nanyang County without authorization.

Don't forget, when he Nanyang County sent troops to Yingchuan County to encircle and suppress the Black Tiger Thieves, he was ordered to withdraw by Li Min, the guard of Yingchuan County, and the two sides almost tore their faces because of this.

Okay, you Yingchuan County didn't allow my Nanyang County to interfere in your internal affairs, but you ran to the ground of my Nanyang County without authorization to interfere in the internal affairs of my Nanyang County?

Don't you take my two brothers seriously!

The more Wang Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately took Yao Jin to Luyang, ready to ask Zhou Hu for an explanation.

Taishi Chen's righteous son can do whatever he wants?!
