Chapter 46: Threats

"This guy is actually the newly appointed Nanyang County Guard?"

Zhao Yu couldn't imagine it.

On the side, there was also a bit of shock in the eyes of the Luyang townsman.

As Zhao Yu guessed, this Kong Jian was the local county order of Luyang County more than ten years ago, but for various reasons, in the end, the Luyang Township Marquis, who was only ten years old at the time, designed Kong Jian, which not only made the latter lose his official position, but was even escorted to the royal capital, and was almost beheaded by Qiu Guan.

But who would have thought that this guy who the Luyang townsman thought he had died a long time ago would return to Luyang County with a swagger today, and even turned into the county guard of his Nanyang County, which is simply ......

"Unreasonable!"

The Marquis of Luyang patted the dwarf case in front of him angrily, and then pointed at Kong Jian and said coldly: "How can you Kong Jian be the county guard?" What you did back then was simply insulting to the surname of Sage Confucius, and it was a shame that you still claimed to be Sage Confucius! ”

"Hahaha."

Seeing the angry expression of the Luyang townsman, Kong Jian not only didn't care about the former's humiliation of him, but even a little happy, he shook his head and said: "Gongyu, I said back then, your knowledge is too shallow......"

"Hugh wants to call me the word, you are not worthy!"

The Luyang townsman was full of anger, as if he had been humiliated.

On the side, Zhao Yu blinked, and he only learned today that his father's name was Gongyu - Zhao Jing, Zhao Gongyu.

Kong Jian's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "I don't know how to lift!" ”

After that, he changed his words and sneered: "However, it is in line with the memory in Kong's heart...... In Kong's memory, the townsman has always been like this...... I don't know how to lift! ”

Saying that, he stood up, condescendingly looked down at the Luyang townsman who was still present, and said with a sneer: "Today, I just came to say hello to the townsman, after all, you and I are old acquaintances, after Kong said goodbye, I hope the townsman will cherish the current ......" Saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yu a few more times, and couldn't help but sigh and commented: "It's really like, it's like the townsman back then...... I remember that the townsman was about the same age back then, right? Boy, your father knew more etiquette than you did. ”

Zhao Yu had no stage fright, and replied with a smile when he heard the words: "Indeed, my father's temperament is not as straight as mine." ”

Hearing this, not to mention Kong Jian was stunned for a moment, even the Luyang townsman subconsciously glanced at his son, and then the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, but it immediately turned into a bitter smile.

"Hmph, where there is a father, there must be a son!"

After thinking about it, Kong Jian finally came back to his senses, his face sank and he glanced at Zhao Yu, and then sneered and said to the Luyang townsman: "For a full fifteen years, Kong has always held this resentment in his heart, but from today on, I will return the resentment of these fifteen years!" Zhao Jing, you can do it yourself! ”

At this time, the Marquis of Luyang had also stood up, and looked at Kong Jian, who was walking away, and said coldly: "Don't be proud, Wancheng is now under the orders of General Wang Shangde, I heard that General Wang is short-tempered, I hope that Kong Jun will guard Wancheng and don't lose his life......"

"Huh? Death is still hard-mouthed? ”

Kong Jian, who was about to step across the threshold, stopped when he heard this, looked at the Luyang Xianghou with great interest, and sneered: "I'll just say that the Xianghou is short of knowledge, the Wang Shangde Wang General in your mouth is a distant relative of Wang Taishi, and General Wang has to call Taishi an uncle in terms of seniority, I am now a confidant of Wang Taishi, how can Wang Shangde harm me?" …… Oh, by the way, the townsman said that General Wang was short-tempered, right, when I see General Wang, I will tell him this as it is. ”

With that, he walked away.

Looking at Kong Jian's departing back, a little sadness appeared on the face of the Luyang townsman, and he muttered, "Unfortunately, it is expected ......."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was surprised in his heart and asked, "Dad, you just deliberately tried to test the relationship between Wang Shangde and that Wang Taishi?" ”

"Hmm." The Marquis of Luyang responded casually and did not explain the reason.

In fact, there is nothing to explain, Wang Shangde and Wang Taishi are both surnamed Wang, and they are both people from the national capital, so it would be surprising to say that it doesn't matter at all.

However, after confirming the relationship between the two through Kong Jian, the Luyang townsman couldn't help but feel the pressure.

He turned to Zhang Ji and said, "Zhang Ji, you go and tell Zhang Ying to ask Zhang Ying to send someone to invite Duke Liu to the mansion." …… I remember to explain to Liu Gong that I should have gone there, but the county officials were talkative, so I asked him to come to the house quickly, and I had something important to tell me. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Ji clenched his fists and left.

"Daddy." Zhao Yu walked to the side of the Luyang Township Marquis and asked.

may have noticed the look of concern on his son's face, and the Luyang townsman said a rare sigh of relief: "Don't worry, although the other party is menacing, it is not impossible." My Zhao family is also a townsman, even if that Kong Jian wants to target us and others, he doesn't dare to make a big fuss, at best, it's just some conspiracy. Okay, you wait until you go back to the house to rest, by the way, remember not to spread the word about it, understand? ”

"Yes!"

When Ma Cheng and Cao An responded with their fists clasped, Jingnu also nodded obediently.

After instructing, the Luyang townsman went to the north house.

In this mansion, his most trusted right-hand men are the guard chief Zhang Chun and the steward Cao Ju, but when it comes to sustenance, there is only the Zhou family.

A moment later, the Marquis of Luyang came to the north house, and when he saw that Zhou was embroidering something with his own hands, he asked casually, "What are you doing?" ”

"Embroider a handkerchief for Yin'er and Yu'er, look." Zhou smiled and showed her husband her results.

The Marquis of Luyang took a closer look, even though he was preoccupied at the moment, he couldn't help but have a little smile on his face, because the patterns on these two handkerchiefs were indeed interesting.

I saw the eldest son Zhao Yin's handkerchief, tattooed a tiger down the mountain, this tiger bared its teeth and stared, its belly was flat, the tiger was standing on the hill, and it was about to pounce, and it was very powerful as the king of beasts.

And the handkerchief of the second son Zhao Yu is tattooed with a mountain tiger on his head, with a bulging belly, and his face does not feel hideous, shaking his tail to catch a butterfly in the mountain, looking simple.

"What is this?" The Marquis of Luyang couldn't help but ask.

Zhou explained solemnly: "The time when Yin'er was born was when the tiger came down the mountain to hunt, not only did he count the fortunes and look at the appearance over the years, but even Mr. Ram said that Yin'er worked hard all his life; When Yu'er was born, the tiger had already eaten and returned to the nest to rest, which shows that he was carefree all his life...... Oh, the concubine has never seen a tiger, this is the concubine herself came up with. ”

"Is your life carefree?" But at the beginning, the priest said that the dragon is the appearance of the tiger...... What does this mean?'

"It's interesting." Smiling in his heart, the Marquis of Luyang put two handkerchiefs on the table and stopped looking at them.

Because looking at the tiger on the two handkerchiefs, he couldn't help but think of the alchemist's evaluation of the two brothers back then: these brothers are both kings.

He, a small townsman in the poor countryside, has two sons who are actually human kings, which is simply ...... The townspeople of Luyang did not dare to think deeply, but only dared to think about the good side.

"What's wrong?"

After more than ten years of husband and wife, Zhou immediately felt that her husband was absent-minded, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't Yu'er solve the refugee affairs for you?" ”

"Hmm......" Luyang Township Marquis responded, and after reacting, he said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean that the dragons have solved for me?" Although Yu'er is smart, there are still things that are not thoughtful about the problem......"

"Yes, yes, although Yu'er is smart, she is still younger than her husband, and the concubine understands. So...... What's wrong, husband is so absent-minded? ”

"Kong Jian." With a long sigh, the Luyang Township Marquis said in a deep voice, "That guy is back." ”

Zhou was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "This corrupt official back then?" Isn't he dead? As far as the concubine knows, he was captured and taken to the royal capital......"

The Marquis of Luyang nodded and said: "Indeed, if officials from all over the country are convicted, all county officials and governors above the rank of lieutenant must be escorted to the royal capital for retrial, and the autumn officials will be interrogated and beheaded, and each of them must not be lynched without permission, otherwise the crime will be chaotic." …… It was because of this law that Kong Jian and the others were escorted to the royal capital by Mao Lao's county order (book friend Longyin cameo) ......"

The old county order of Mao in his mouth refers to the old county order of Yecheng, Mao Jue and Mao Guoqi.

It was with the help of this old county magistrate that the young Luyang townsman designed to expose Kong Jian's crimes, so when he mentioned this old man, he obviously had respect.

"That's right." Zhou nodded, and then couldn't help but interject: "Anyway, the concubine hadn't passed the door at that time, right?" Yes, it was because of this incident that the concubine learned the name of her husband......"

Speaking of this, she saw that her husband was looking at her a little speechlessly, pursed her lips and turned the topic back: "That Kong Jian, not dead?" ”

"Hmm."

The Marquis of Luyang nodded and explained: "According to his own words, in the first year, he bribed the Qiu official with his wealth, and the Qiu official put him in the back row, so that he could live until the next year, which didn't matter, anyway, the wealth he only had at that time was not enough to buy the Qiu official so that he could live to the third year, but who would have thought that the next day happened to coincide with the birth of the granddaughter of the Son of Heaven, the lord of Xiangrui, and the Son of Heaven gave amnesty to the world......"

"How so?" Zhou also frowned.

Regarding the grievances between her husband and Kong Jian, the former county commander of Luyang, Zhou is not a party to it, but she has heard her husband say it many times over the years, so it is not difficult for her to guess that Kong Jian must have an unforgettable hatred for her husband.

Noticing his beloved wife's sad face, the Luyang townsman was relieved: "One thing can be assured, although I am only a small villager, Kong Jian does not dare to deal with me with great fanfare......"

"Little countryman? Why? Zhou asked puzzled.

The Marquis of Luyang reacted at this time, and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I was angry with that guy." As he spoke, he said to his wife: "You go to bed first tonight, and I ordered someone to invite Liu Gong to come to our house, and I will discuss with Liu Gong tonight." That Kong Jian didn't dare to make a big fuss about me, but I was worried that in order to retaliate against me, he would tell Wang Shangde about the current situation of my Luyang County...... If that were the case, it wouldn't be good. ”

Zhou is a woman who understands the general situation, and immediately nodded: "Turn around and ask the cook to prepare some good wine and food, don't neglect Gong Liu." ”

"Hmm."

Around dusk that day, Liu Jian took a number of errand soldiers and hurriedly came to the Luyang Township Marquis's Mansion in a carriage.

At that time, Cao An was guarding the gate of the mansion according to Zhao Yu's instructions, and when he saw Liu Wei coming, he immediately went back to the East Courtyard to report to the latter.
