Chapter 65: Accepting the Yellow Turbans
Tang Zheng came out of Zhang Ning's room and saw Zhang Chao walking in the right direction. "Childe, I've inquired clearly. These people used to be homeless people and had no home for a long time, and only when they met Zhang Jiao did they follow him to gather a crowd to rebel. Childe, what are we going to do with these people? ”
"I've agreed that they will go to Rinyama, so I'll arrange for them to go tomorrow."
"Ah, Childe, they are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, if we take them in, we will be openly enemies of the court, so that Childe, your career will be over, and if you don't say it, you will be questioned by the court." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng in surprise.
"I know this, don't worry, I will take care of it, and tell the public that they are the homeless people we met, and we took them in because they were homeless. As for the identity of their Yellow Turban remnants, you must let them keep their mouths shut, if you explain it well, brothers. As long as these years have passed, who in the world will still remember the Yellow Turban. ”
"Since Childe has already made arrangements, then I'll do it, Childe, don't worry, the brothers will be tight-lipped." Zhang Chao assured Tang Zheng that he would, and then went down to arrange Tang Zheng's explanation.
Early the next morning, Tang Zheng came to the place where Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were being held. "Open the door and bring them out." Tang Zheng said to the guards guarding Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang. "Yes, Childe." The two opened the door and brought Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao out.
Tang Zheng took Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to the hall of the cottage and said to the two, "Sit down." Then he said to Zhang Chao: "You go and call Zhang Ning with you." After Zhang Chao heard Tang Zheng's order, he turned around and walked to the backyard.
After a while, Zhang Ning followed Zhang Chao to the hall, and Tang Zheng waved his hand to let Zhang Ning find a place to sit by himself.
"Alright, the people have arrived. I already talked to Miss Zhang last night, and now I'll tell you two about it too. Tang Zheng looked at Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang and said. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhang Ning, then turned their heads to look at Tang Zheng, the two of them were confused, not knowing what was going on in it, what they didn't know.
"I also sent someone to inquire about what you usually do in the cottage, although you are not a good person, but it is not a big evil. So I decided to let you live, and since you have no place to stay for the time being, I plan to let you go to Rinshan in Youbeiping. But there, you must abide by all the regulations of Youbeiping, and you are not allowed to be traitors, you are not allowed to occupy mountains for the king, and you are not allowed to gather people to commit rebellion in the name of the Yellow Turban. ”
Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Zhang Ning in unison, they thought that it was Zhang Ning who promised Tang Zheng what conditions, and Tang Zheng would accept them and allow them to go to Youbeiping. You must know that they are now the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and accepting them is tantamount to blatantly opposing the imperial court. What's more, Tang Zheng is still an official of the imperial court, and it is even more unlikely that he will accept them. It must be Zhang Ning who agreed to Tang Zheng's conditions before Tang Zheng accepted them. Thinking of this, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang glared at Tang Zheng angrily, Zhang Ning looked at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao's expressions and knew that they had misunderstood something, so he opened his mouth and said to the two: "Where did you think of it, it's not what you think." ”
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhang Ning inexplicably, and then looked at Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, so he said: "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Zhang Ning, even if I did, it would be difficult to protect the current situation of the two of you." At this time, not only Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao glared at Tang Zheng angrily, but Zhang Ning also stared at Tang Zheng with wide eyes.
"Okay, you guys go down and prepare first, and then let's leave, we're going to Luoyang today."
"Are you really relieved to let us go like this? Aren't you afraid that we will change our fortunes halfway and continue to occupy the mountains for the king, and do that thing of robbing the house? Pei Yuanshao asked Tang Zheng.
"The way has been shown to you, and it is your business as to how you choose. If you continue to occupy the mountain and rob the king, I am afraid that you will not have such good luck next time. After speaking, Tang Zheng instructed Zhang Chao beside him: "You go and ask the brothers to prepare, and we will set off immediately." By the way, leave them a little bit to pester, as for how they choose, it's none of our business, anyway, we have done our best. Zhang Chao took the order, turned around and went down to arrange the matters that Tang Zheng explained.
"Since the adults trust the two of us so much, after escorting these women and children to Youbeiping, I will definitely come back and follow the adults, and I am willing to serve the adults and serve the dogs and horses." Pei Yuanshao said to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng waved his hand and turned around and left without saying anything, and also went to prepare for going to Luoyang.
"Miss let's go, Tang Gongzi has already gone away." Zhou Cang said to Zhang Ning.
"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Pei, what do you think of Tang Zheng?" Zhang Ning asked the two.
"Tang Gongzi is a relatively rare good official, if the officials of the Han Dynasty are like him, why is this." Zhou Cang said. Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhang Ning and said thoughtfully: "Miss, Tang Gongzi and we are not all the way, he is an official of the imperial court, and we are the remnants of the Yellow Turban." ”
"I understand what Uncle Pei means, don't worry, I won't have any ideas. I'm just asking. Zhang Ning said with some loss.
"Miss, it's time for us to go, it's a long way to Youbeiping, I don't know what dangers will be encountered on the way, we can be safe one day earlier when we arrive in Youbeiping."
"Well, let's go. Tang Zheng left all his horses to us, you go to make a few simple carriages, so that the wounded, women, children and children can all ride in the carriages. ”
"What are you going to do, Miss?"
"It's okay, I'll just walk with everyone."
Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang saw that Zhang Ning was resolute, so they had no choice but to do what Zhang Ning explained.
"Childe, I don't understand why you left all the war horses to them, but we ourselves walked to Luoyang on two legs, what if they continue to rob the house with the war horses left by Childe?" Zhang Chao complained.
"Okay, it's not a long way away, it's Mengjin Pass ahead. When we arrived at Mengjin Pass, we were less than sixty miles away from Luoyang, and I believe they would not be so short-sighted, and now the whole world is arresting the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and only we dare to take them in. I don't believe where else they can go except Youbeiping. ”
"That being said, if they raise the banner of the horns again and gather a crowd to make trouble, I am afraid that there will be countless followers."
"Hehe, they'll die faster that way. Although Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao seem to be brave and resourceless, don't forget that there is another one named Zhang Ning, I don't believe she won't be able to see through the truth. If they want to raise the banner of rebellion again, do you think they will wait until we go and destroy his cottage? ”
Zhang Chao thought about it, and felt that what Gongzi said was right, and he didn't say anything anymore, and followed Tang Zheng with his head bored.
