Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wicked Sue First
With Gao Shun's help, it took Cao Xing and them three days to finally lift all those dead comrades-in-arms to the back mountain, bury them in the loess, and on each piece of land, Cao Xing ordered someone to take a wooden board and engrave their names on it.
You can't leave a name in history before you die, you still have to leave a little thing in the world, even if it's a name.
Cao Xuan bowed respectfully three times in front of Qin Ye's grave, Cao Xuan came to this world, and the person who helped him the most should be Qin Ye, if it weren't for Qin Ye, Cao Xing would have been played to death by that group of families, if it weren't for Qin Ye, Cao Xing would not have been able to achieve today's position, if it weren't for Qin Ye, Bianyun County would have been broken long ago, so Cao Xing was naturally sincerely grateful to him.
Cao Xuan took two deep breaths, and then looked at Su Lingqiao next to him, Su Lingqiao's face still looked a little haggard, she is Qin Ye's daughter-in-law, many years ago, her husband, who was Qin Ye's son, had died in the frontier, she had lost his biggest support, and now Qin Ye is also gone, for a woman, it is indeed a little cruel, after all, in this troubled world, how can he survive as a weak woman?
"Dexterity, the deceased has passed away, please mourn and change!"
Su Lingqiao nodded and didn't speak, Cao Xing just wanted to say a few more words, but at this moment, Feng Yun limped and came to Cao Xing's side from behind, and whispered to Cao Xing.
"Big brother, Duan County Ling has now returned to Bianyun County, and now he is rushing in the direction of Yamen!"
"Oh, he's finally back!" Cao Xuan nodded, glanced at Su Lingdex, and then slowly retreated, and rushed to the direction of the county government with Fengyun.
If you ask who the biggest official in Bianyun County is now, it is not Cao Xing or Duan Ke, it should be Lu Bu, because since Lu Bu came to rescue Bianyun County that day, he did not leave in a hurry, but sent his subordinates Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to help Cao Xing maintain order in the city, and he himself sat in the county government.
Lu Bu's official position is much higher than Cao Xing's, and now he is willing to help Cao Xing, Cao Xing naturally can't treat others badly, so he asked Fengyun to take the cold day liquor and send a few plates of side dishes to the county government on time every day. Now that Duan Ke has returned, something must have happened more or less.
Cao Xing and Fengyun had just walked to the door of the county office, but it was Lu Bu's salty and indifferent voice that he heard from inside.
Cao He and Fengyun entered the door and found that Lu Bu was holding a stack of books at the moment, and that stack of books was very familiar to Cao Xing, which was the county government roster of Bianyun County, which recorded all the information of the official government of Bianyun County.
Lu Bu looked at the roster, then looked at Duan Ke, and said in his unhurried voice: "Hehe, Duan Ke, the county magistrate of Bianyun County, you are finally back!" ”
At this moment, Duan Ke is standing aside, but he doesn't dare to sit down, Lu Bu's current official position is the master of Shangtang. Shangtang is the main residence of Bingzhou, and Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan is also stationed in that place, although Lu Bu's official position is only a master book, logically speaking, he is the kind of person in charge of civil affairs, but others are the main book from the center of Bingzhou, and the official rank is one level larger than Duan Ke, so Duan Ke can only claim to be an official, not to mention that Duan Ke also knows the origin of this Lu Bu, it is not as simple as it seems, he is the righteous son of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan. has military power in his hands, and it is said that all the defenses of Shangtang are in charge of Lu Bu, so Lu Bu can take soldiers and horses for drills.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty's control over the local area has begun to become weaker and weaker, so Ding Yuan can now be called a feudal official, so in this land, his righteous son Lu Bu, although he does not dare to say what kind of prince and general he is, but he can definitely be said to be the proud son of the heavens in the state, Duan Ke naturally does not dare to offend.
"General Lu, it's the lower official!" Duan Ke said cautiously.
However, Lu Bu snapped, slammed the ledger on the table, glared at Duan Ke angrily, and scolded loudly: "You actually have the face to come back, as soon as you walk with your front foot, your back foot will come, I should say that it is time for you to leave, or it is time for Xianbei to come!" ”
Duan Ke's eyes were frightened when he heard this, his legs weakened, and he knelt down directly, what did Lu Bu mean by this? Isn't it saying that he colluded with Xianbei, this is a big crime to kill the head?
"Of course, you don't have to be too nervous, I have checked your life experience, and you are quite innocent, colluding with Xianbei This kind of rebellious thing, forgive you and don't have the courage to do it, but I can't figure it out a little, you are walking so fast, have you already thought that you are about to be promoted, so you left so quickly...... You tell me what official you want, and I'll get one for you! ”
Hearing Lu Bu's reprimand, Duan Ke wanted to cry without tears at the moment, Lu Bu was clearly embarrassing him, Duan Ke stayed in the bitter cold land of Bingzhou for three years, and finally waited for an opportunity to be promoted, but this happened, it was simply providential.
And Cao Xing was also a little embarrassed below, Lu Bu was indeed a little embarrassed Duan Ke when he said this, in the past few days, Cao Xing also inquired, when Xianbei invaded, Duan Ke was on the way, at that time Duan Ke heard the news, the whole person was frightened, he immediately entered the surrounding county seats, and asked those county orders to send reinforcements, but it was almost useless for Duan Ke to do this.
The county orders in those counties are all difficult to protect themselves, how many soldiers and horses can there be in a county? If they were really taken out by Duan Ke, if Xianbei came over, wouldn't they even have the strength to protect themselves.
So Duan Ke could only wait, and he didn't dare to come back until the battle was over, which can't be blamed on Duan Ke, it can only be said that he was too lucky.
And after Lu Bu reprimanded Duan Ke for a while, he saw that Duan Ke wanted to die at the moment, he smiled, and was not ready to embarrass Duan Ke anymore, waved his hand to him and said: "Okay, these days I have also read about your achievements as an official, in general, you are still a good official, I am not embarrassed by you, but you also have to be clear about one thing, now that Xianbei has destroyed Bianyun County like this, you don't have to go to Yuncheng to participate in any assessments, I estimate that your promotion is unlikely, just stay in Bianyun County!" ”
When Duan Ke heard this, he could only nod bitterly and said nothing more.
And Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing below, and he said word by word: "Bianyun County Cheng, Cao Xing!" ”
Cao Xing stepped forward: "In!" ”
Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing, as if he felt a little surprised, and said after a while: "I originally thought you were the county magistrate of Bianyun County, but I didn't expect that you are still a county magistrate, and the county magistrate belongs to the position of a civil official!" ”
Cao He and Duan Ke didn't speak, and Lu Bu glanced at the two of them, and finally asked in his voice full of metallic noise: "A county order, because the time and place coincide with going out, I won't pursue this matter, but where did the county lieutenant of Bianyun County go?" It's not impossible to die on the battlefield! ”
However, as soon as Lu Bu's words fell, there were immediately hurried footsteps into the county office, Cao He and Duan Ke saw that the person who came in was You Tie, but behind You Tie, there was also a large group of family heads.
"Lu, General Lu is here!" You Tie seemed to be a little panicked when he saw this battle, and hurriedly said to Lu Bu.
Seeing that You Tie was still alive and well at the moment, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a fierce color, he stretched out his hand and pointed at You Tie, and asked word by word: "You are the county lieutenant of Bianyun County, let me ask you, when Xianbei invaded, where were you, why did you let the county with soldiers to resist!" ”
Feeling the chill in Lu Bu's voice, You Tie was so frightened that he almost couldn't speak, but fortunately, there was Cai Gui, an old guy, standing next to him, Cai Gui stabbed You Tie with his hand, You Tie reacted, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said to Lu Bu carefully.
"Hui, General Hui, when Xianbei invaded, I was also fighting on the front line, I have been maintaining order in the city, and I have not let the ordinary people of Bianyun County be harassed by Xianbei!"
As soon as he heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, this guy is quite good at making up stories, with the remaining soldiers and horses under his command, as well as the family's private soldiers, directly guarding the family. It's still so high-sounding.
Seeing that Lu Bu still had the intention of asking, Cai Gui behind You Tie couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu Bu Mingjian, I have something to sue!" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone focused their eyes on Cai Gui's body, and Cao Xing's eyes couldn't help narrowing, this old guy, he is old and refined, not only from a family, but also understands some rules in officialdom, anyway, when he stands up, Cao Xuan always feels that there is nothing good.
Lu Bu was also interrupted by Cai Gui's words, he looked at Cai Gui and asked, "What do you have to sue!" ”
Cai Gui didn't say much, he clapped his hands directly, and immediately walked in from outside the county office, but the four disciples of the family were carrying a stretcher, and there was a dead person lying on the stretcher, and there was a foul smell on that person's body Obviously, it may have been a few days since he died.
Maybe ordinary people don't understand why Cai Gui brought a corpse up, but when Cao Xuan saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, he finally understood that this corpse was no one else, it was the head of the Zhu family.
Cai Gui took a step forward, looked at Cao Xing with resentful eyes, and then directly pointed at Cao Xing and said to Lu Bu: "Please also ask Lord Lu Bu to make the decision for us, this is Cao Xing, that day he asked the head of the Zhu family to hand over all the population and money in the family, saying that he wanted to use these things to fight against Xianbei, the head of the Zhu family was born as one of the three elders, and it was naturally incumbent on him to fight against foreign clans, but because he and Cao Xing finally had a few quarrels, Cao Xing was angry, and he actually beat the Zhu family master to death, Please also ask General Lu to be the master of the Zhu family!
