Chapter 492: Han Zhan Tells the Story (I)
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Qi took more than 40 domestic servants and three carriages carrying family members and luggage to the east gate of Yedu unhurriedly. According to his idea, the 39 officials who went out to work would bring their families with them, plus domestic servants, and there would be at least fifty or sixty carriages and nearly 1,000 people. With such a force, even if it encounters robbers cutting paths along the way, it is estimated that they will retreat.
After leaving the east gate, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the situation outside the city. There were no dozens of carriages and nearly a thousand domestic servants as he imagined, only a dozen carriages scattered and less than 200 domestic servants from various provinces.
He saw Penglai Ling, who was crying with a sad face, and was riding a horse and standing on the official road not far from the city gate in a daze, and hurriedly rode over, and after saluting the other party, he asked in surprise: "Penglai Ling, it's about to set off, why are there only so many people here?" ”
"Yang Shizhong, everyone who can come is here." Peng Lai Ling replied with an indifferent expression: "Many colleagues returned home, and as soon as they said that they would be assigned to Donglai County, Qingzhou, to serve as the county commander, the servants at home dispersed one after another, and after dawn, there were only so many people left. ”
Yang Qi was stunned by Penglai Ling's words, and he thought that his gang was to prevent Han Zhan from dictatorship and control of the government, so as not to appear another Dong Zhuo, so they would use all kinds of means to deal with Han Zhan. Now that he has been demoted and released, there should be countless people in Beijing who have come to see him off, why have even the domestic servants of your colleagues fled a lot?
Seeing Yang Qi looking stunned on the horse, Peng Lai Ling arched his hand at him and said coldly: "Yang Shizhong, my road is far away, so I will leave first." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and took the two servants and a carriage waiting beside him, and headed west along the official road.
"What the hell is going on?" Yang Qi didn't notice Penglai Ling's departure, he was still in shock, he thought that the people of Jingshi would say goodbye to his gang on the side of the road, and he could also take the opportunity to say a few words to everyone. As a result, what happened in front of him was far beyond what he had imagined.
"Sir!" Seeing Peng Lai Ling leave with his family and servants, a Yang Qi's servant urged him to step forward and asked Yang Qi, who was in a daze: "Do we continue to stay here, or do we go on the road?" ”
The servant's words woke Yang Qi up from his dementia, he turned his head to look at the other party, and was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said helplessly: "It's not early, let's go on the road." ”
Those officials who were waiting outside the city couldn't help but feel a little resentful when they saw Yang Qi taking his family and servants on the road without saying a word, and did not greet them. But they also know in their hearts that even if they are dissatisfied with Yang Qi in their hearts, they can't fight among themselves at this time, isn't this a joke for Anyang Hou in the city?
Thinking of this, Huang Xianling couldn't help but glance up at the head of the city, and saw that there were many shaking figures behind the battlements. Although this was just a soldier on duty at the head of the city, he felt that Han Zhan must have sent someone to monitor him because of his weak heart, he was shocked, shivered, and hurriedly urged the butler who was waiting respectfully beside him: "Hurry up, go quickly, get on the road immediately, don't stay here again." ”
In this way, a group of degraded officials, with their families and servants, followed Yang Qi and headed towards Qingzhou in a gloomy manner. Their mood at the moment is very different from when they went to the banquet last night, and many people are secretly thinking in their hearts that maybe they will not have the opportunity to return to Jingshi for the rest of their lives.
Although Han Zhan didn't care much about whether it was the degraded officials leaving Beijing or the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang going out to wander, his subordinates did not dare to slack off, and sent a large number of secret agents to monitor these people who were a threat to Han Zhan. A large number of domestic servants around those officials fled, and he sent people to instigate them, and he thought that there would not be many people responding, but many of these domestic servants had experienced the Dong Zhuo era and knew what it was like for officials to be wiped out at every turn, so as soon as they heard the persuasion of the people sent by Fu Zhi, they fled one after another.
After listening to the information reported by the secret agents, he felt that he should report the matter to Han Zhan as soon as possible to see if the other party had any new instructions. He sorted out some information that Han Zhan should be interested in, and hurried to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion.
And since Han Zhan returned to the mansion, he has been entangled by his sister-in-law Han Yan, and he has to let him talk about those experiences in Qingzhou. Although Cai Yan and the others heard Xiahou Yun say some things about Qingzhou, they still felt that they couldn't enjoy listening to it, and they also echoed Han Yan and asked Han Zhan to tell him about Qingzhou.
Han Zhan was so entangled that he couldn't do it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Ben Hou has been too tired recently, so he needs to rest well for two days." When you're rested, I'll tell you a few stories you've never heard before. In this way, Han Yan, Cai Yan and others were sent away.
After everyone left, Han Zhan was thinking about what story to tell them. After thinking about it for a while, Han Zhan immediately realized that he didn't seem to have any story to tell. Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, and she was quite prosperous in later generations; But in this dynasty, even if a woman becomes a general, it seems that there is nothing impossible, and there is no way to talk about her father's joining the army.
The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is also very famous, but now there is no imperial examination, and to become an official depends on filial piety, even if a woman disguises herself as a man to study, no matter how well she reads, there is no possibility of becoming an official.
Han Zhan knew a lot of stories, but every time he came up with a story, as long as he compared it with the current era, he immediately denied it. He picked up pen and ink and wrote down the stories he knew, one by one, but quickly erased them one after another, indicating that these stories could not be told.
After repeated smearing, he unexpectedly found that there were still two stories left to tell, one was Journey to the West and the other was The Legend of the White Snake. Buddhism was introduced by the Han Dynasty, and it is barely reasonable to arrange a random person to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, as long as the dynasty is changed from the Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.
As for the Legend of the White Snake, the historical background is set in the Song Dynasty. After telling it to Han Yan and others, as long as the background is diluted and the son of Xu Xian and the White Lady is not written, it is still a very good story.
Pay attention, he took a blank piece of paper again, wrote the revised outline of the two stories on it, and prepared to tell the story to Han Yan and the others according to the content of this outline.
As soon as he wrote a few lines, he saw Chen Zhi hurriedly walking in from outside. Han Zhan hurriedly stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at the other party and asked, "Uncle Zhi, what's the matter?" ”
"Enlighten the lord!" Chen Zhi bowed and replied, "The frustrated prison army has something important to ask to see." ”
When Han Zhan heard that Fu Zhi had something important to see, he hurriedly rolled up the paper on the table and instructed Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, let the Fu Jian Army come in." ”
