【Reunion】

The officers and soldiers saw that these two people actually took the initiative to turn themselves in, these two people were tall and powerful, and their martial arts were extraordinary, in case of trouble in the public court, this would be repaid, so they didn't say a word, first tied them up, and then escorted them directly to the county government, knelt on the ground, and waited for the county magistrate to fall.

Liu Bei saw that a person in the county government had been tied up and kneeling here, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the young man with a leopard's head and eyes just now, who was probably arrested by the officers and soldiers for obstructing the government's law enforcement for throwing money just now. At this time, the young man pouted, looking unconvinced, and looked up at several officers and soldiers in front of him from time to time, as if he had a feeling of wanting to eat people.

Liu Bei saw that although this person was reduced to a prisoner and knelt on the ground, he was still majestic and fearless. The three of them knelt in the county government, Liu Bei lowered his head and whispered to the young man: "This little brother, thank you for saving me just now......"

"Quiet, how can a few Diao people whisper in the county government, the county order will arrive soon!" Before Zhang Fei could speak, an officer and soldier angrily reprimanded Liu Bei. Zhang Fei saw that the officers and soldiers were so rampant, and at this time, his stomach was even more angry, and his eyes had already appeared with murderous aura, but his hands were bound, otherwise, he would have rushed forward and ended the life of this officer and soldier.

It didn't take long for the county order to come, sit on the court, and scolded: "The three of you are so bold, one fugitive, two accomplices, and three accomplices dare to be so presumptuous in Zhuo County, raise your head, let the official take a good look at you, what kind of face Diao Min looks like!" ”

Liu Bei had already admired the county order of Zhuo County before, and was able to see the behavior of the Yellow Turban homeless, and immediately suppressed the Taiping Dao forces in Zhuo County, originally wanting to find an opportunity to meet the county commander, but he never thought that now it would be in this way, when Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the people in the court, he was stunned by the person in front of him.

"Gongsun Zhan? Brother Bogui? Liu Bei's eyes widened and he muttered in surprise.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was also surprised, the person in front of him turned out to be Liu Bei, a fellow disciple he hadn't seen for many years, and he couldn't help but be surprised and depressed in his heart. Since Lu Zhi went to Luoyang, Gongsun Zhan has said goodbye to Liu Bei and them one by one, and it has been four years, and it is also a kind of fate to meet again after a long absence today. But the reunion turned out to be on such an occasion, the junior brother was still a prisoner, and he couldn't figure out how the junior brother could get involved with this murderer.

But in the public court, he naturally couldn't say that he knew Liu Bei, so he deliberately cleared his throat loudly and said: "Be bold and report your name!" ”

Liu Bei thought that he hadn't seen him for many years, and his senior brother was estranged from him, so he had to say: "Liu Bei, a grass person, is from Zhuo County." ”

"Guan Yu, a grass man, is from Hedong."

"Zhang Fei, a grass man, is from Zhuo County."

Gongsun Zhan took the case file at this time, skimmed it roughly, and then stared at Guan Yu and said: "Guan Yu, you were originally a good person in Hedong, and you fled to Zhuo County because you killed someone, yes or no?" ”

Since Guan Yu had decided to turn himself in, he was bold and said in a concealed manner: "Yes, Guan Yu killed someone, but Guan Yu killed someone who should be killed." ”

When Gongsun Chan heard that this person was so arrogant, he threw the case file in his hand on the table and sneered: "Oh? You are so angry, you should tell the official how this victim should be killed. ”

At this time, Guan Yu was neither humble nor arrogant: "The person Guan Yu killed was a bully in Xie Liang, Hedong, who bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil, there was a well in the village, so he filled it with pig manure, leaving only one well in his house." In order to live, the people in the village had to go to his house to buy, he not only took the opportunity to raise the price, in order to make profits, but also often raped the girl who went to buy water, the people all hated him, but they were afraid of his power, and they only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, "Spring and Autumn" has a cloud: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself", Guan Yu saw that the people were insulted by him, and in a fit of anger, he killed him. ”

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei listened to Guan Yu's statement and were all admired for his courage. But Gongsun Chan represents the government and represents impartiality, and he can't just listen to the confession of the criminal suspect and draw conclusions, what is going on, he has to take evidence to do things, so he said: "This is just your confession, and there is no conclusive evidence, wait for me to find out the truth and then make a decision, come, put these three people in prison and retry them another day." After speaking, he glanced at Liu Bei meaningfully, got up and left.

"Hurry up and go!" After several officers and soldiers called Liu Guanzhang and the others up, they were sent to prison.

"Yide, we don't know each other, I don't know why you came to the rescue that day." Liu Bei was very puzzled by this matter.

"On that day, Liu Lao passed by my meat stall, they were all locals, I knew that his life was hard, and his sons were killed in the war, so I cut a piece of meat for him. He said, 'The world is chaotic, but there are many well-wishers, and just now a young man gave him a pair of shoes, and now you have given me a piece of meat.' I think the person who sent the shoes must be a benevolent person, so I want to get acquainted with him, who knows that as soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to you who were chased by the officers and soldiers and said that you are the benefactor who gave him shoes, I have always looked down on these officers and soldiers, they are all **, there is no good thing, so I casually spilled the money in the bag, haha, happy. Zhang Fei laughed while talking, and from time to time played with the iron chain locked on his wrist, which was full of the weight of the iron cable.

Liu Bei listened to Zhang Fei's words and realized that it was because of the old man, and when he was chased, he just glanced at Zhang Fei, and when he looked carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he closed his eyes, and Guan Yu beside him, he was heroic, majestic, and he was really a rare talent. Guan Yu is loyal, brave and resourceful, affectionate and righteous; Zhang Fei is a bold and generous person, and he is also a loving and righteous person, if he can make friends with these two and become brothers, he may be of great help to himself in the future.

Creak~

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly saw the prison door open, and Liu Bei looked up to see that it was his senior brother Gongsun Zhan, who seemed to be carrying a box in his hand. Gongsun Zhan retreated left and right, walked alone into the prison, looked left and right, and finally found the place where Liu Bei was held, he opened the prison door, walked in, and said: "Brother Xian, there were many people just now, and it is not easy for the foolish brother to recognize you, I hope you understand." ”

Liu Bei originally thought that after four years of not seeing each other, the relationship between him and Gongsun Chan would inevitably be a little rusty, but when he saw Gongsun Chan say this, he completely dispelled this thought. hurriedly said: "Brother, Liu Bei is ashamed to meet you here. ”

"Hey~ Don't say that, sit down, I brought you wine and food, we haven't seen each other for a long time, today take advantage of this time, have a good chat, you guys come together!" Gongsun Zhan looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Guan Yu is also eliminating harm for the people, what is the crime?" Another day, when the facts are ascertained, I will let you out. ”

Liu Bei was very moved when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Brother Bogui!" ”

Seeing this, Guan Yu also knelt down, and finally made Zhang Fei embarrassed to stand, and the three of them all knelt down.

"Oh my God, please get up, what are you doing!" Gongsun Zhan hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and dusted Liu Bei's knees: "You and I haven't known each other for a day or two, why bother to give me this big gift, come, sit!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Bei sat down and said, "I didn't expect the senior brother to develop so fast, it has only been four years since he left the teacher, and he has already made a county order, and the foolish brother really admires it." ”

Gongsun Zhan took out the wine and food in the box the same, put them on the table, and said: "Since I left you, I have returned to Liaoxi, and Taishou Liu Ji arranged for me to be a planner, this position has a relatively high status in the county, and its duty is to represent the county guard to Luoyang, Kyoto, and to the imperial court to play the county's household registration, taxes and other things, and have more contact with the central government, and the opportunity for promotion is also great. Unfortunately, Taishou was participated in the performance, and the court demanded that Taishou be put in a prison car and arrested in Luoyang for punishment. ”

"And then?" Liu Bei poured the wine for Gongsun Zhan, then poured it for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and finally poured a little more for himself.

"Taishou has a deep affection for me, and I can't bear to watch Taishou suffer alone, so I plan to accompany Taishou to Luoyang. However, the law of the Han Dynasty stipulated that if the chief had a case, his officials were not allowed to approach. So I took off my daily attire and changed into the clothes of a superior class, and told the escorts that I was only a domestic slave in charge of the private life, and not an official official, and that they were allowed to go on the road together. After I arrived in Luoyang, I stayed there, and I wanted to visit the teacher at that time, but I heard that you were not in Luoyang, but in Lujiang, so I gave up, and I couldn't get the message of keeping peace too much, and I just couldn't let go of it. After a trial by the imperial court, Taishou was sentenced to exile to Nichinan. Gongsun Chan took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and motioned for everyone to drink.

"Did you go with you?" Liu Bei asked after taking a sip of wine.

"Yes, but this time it was lucky, on the way to exile, the court issued a pardon, and Taishou and I were able to return with our whole bodies." Gongsun Chan picked up the wine jug and filled everyone with wine.

Liu Bei listened to Gongsun Zhan's narration and knew that he had suffered a lot to get to where he is today, and exclaimed: "Brother Bogui is really a benevolent and righteous person. ”

"I have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister with Taishou, and Taishou wants to go to Rinan, so I should walk with Taishou. After returning to Liaoxi, I was promoted to filial piety, and then became the governor of Liaodong. The so-called subject state is the living area specially arranged by the government for the ethnic minorities in the border areas close to the border area after their surrender, and the official posts set up here are mainly to strengthen the rule over the border areas. I became the chief of the country, which means that I have started my military career from then on. When Gongsun Chan said this, he showed a smug smile.

He took a sip of wine and continued: "Once, I led dozens of cavalry to patrol the border, and suddenly encountered hundreds of Xianbei cavalry. Knowing that I was outnumbered, I retreated to the abandoned pavilion, but on second thought, I felt that it was not the right way to defend to the death, so I said to my subordinates, 'If we fight to the death, I am afraid that none of us will return alive.' 'I took the lead, spear in hand, and rushed straight into the enemy's ranks, followed by the soldiers. After a fierce battle, dozens of Xianbei people were killed and wounded. Although I also lost half of my troops, my morale remained undiminished, and I was able to break out of the encirclement and survive. Because of this exploit, I was appointed as the county magistrate of Zhuo County. ”

Liu Bei didn't expect Gongsun Zan to be so accomplished in the past few years after leaving the teacher, and in just four years, he has made all the civil and military officials, which is really amazing, and he praised at this time: "Brother Bogui is brave and resourceful, affectionate and righteous, Liu Bei admires." ”

Gongsun Zhan listened to Liu Bei's praise, and his heart became more and more happy, and said: "Brother Fool wronged Brother Xian to stay here for a few days, and I will let you go when the matter is found out, then there are some other things in my county, so Brother Fool will leave first." After speaking, Gongsun Chan got up and patted his buttocks.

Liu Bei handed the packed box to Gongsun Zhan and said, "Brother Bogui has worked. ”

After Gongsun Chan left, Zhang Fei said: "I didn't expect Brother Liu to recognize the county order!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei felt strange about his identity, Liu Bei explained: "I was originally after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, and when I was fifteen years old, I studied under Lu Zhi, and became the same brother as Sun Zhan, the county commander. ”

"What, Brother Liu is Lu Zhi's student!"

"Wing De knows my teacher?"

"I know him, but he doesn't know me, I didn't expect Brother Liu to be a student of the contemporary Confucian Lu Zhi, and it is really an honor for Zhang Fei to get acquainted with Brother Liu." Zhang Fei said with his hands on his stomach.

Zhang Fei has received a good education since he was a child, so he despises these ** sons, but he respects the literati very much, and when he heard that Liu Bei was actually a disciple of the contemporary Confucian Lu Zhi, he became more and more admired for Liu Bei.

"Haha...... Then the three of you and I are really very fateful! Liu Bei put Guan Yu on his arm and Zhang Fei on the other: "Let's wait a few more days, and when the case comes out, we can go out!" ”

"Yes!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei listened and nodded to Liu Bei.
