Chapter 41: The Pawn
PS: This chapter is considered a transitional bridge, and the next chapter officially enters the second volume of this book: Liaodong Dongyun
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations......
Li Guang ordered the siege of the Marquis of Bianqiu's mansion and sent officials to search for evidence.
After Wu Song learned of the disappearance, he was overjoyed, and swept away the silence of the past, so he led the villagers to sue the Marquis of Bianqiu for encroaching on the fertile land and reducing the peasants to slavery......
With Wujiacun taking the lead, other people who have been bullied by the Marquis of Bianqiu Mansion have reported the Marquis of Bianqiu, some of them robbed the people's daughters, some killed their relatives, and some took advantage of them, anyway, the proofs that could be said were reported one by one.
The eyes of the people are bright, knowing that the Marquis Mansion of Bianqiu does not want ethane this time, but methane, so naturally they will not let go of such a great opportunity, everyone stretched out a hand and offered their meager strength, so they knocked down the iron wall of the Houfu Mansion of Bianqiu, which had been based for more than 100 years.
After collecting the evidence, it was full of ten cars, Li Guang looked at the evidence and smiled, and finally completed the task assigned by His Majesty, the only regret is that he did not kill Chen Tang on the spot.
However, Chen Tang is a small character, so naturally Li Guang doesn't need to do it himself, and there is only other way to deal with him.
Li Guang took the evidence and escorted Liu Bo's family back to the capital, and the result was naturally that Liu Bo's father and son were sentenced to be beheaded in half, and the feudal state was abolished, and the money naturally went into Liu Zheng's pocket.
At this time, Chen Tang went all the way north and came to Pingyuan County.
The two officials saw Chen Tang's ability, and they were quite respectful to Chen Tang along the way, not like the official who escorted him, but like a little follower.
After entering the county seat of Pingyuan, the two officials went to the county government to report to the county office, and arranged Chen Tang to rest in the inn, and was not locked in a prison like other prisoners.
After dinner, one of the servants brought a basin of boiling water-sprinkled with a layer of oil, so that the heat could not be dissipated, and walked up to Chen Tang flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Childe has walked for a day, and he wants to be tired, so the villain washes Childe's feet!" ”
Chen Tangpan sat on the bed, eating broad beans, and said unmoved: "You have a heart, you can help me measure the temperature of this water, it is too cold or too hot, I won't wash it." ”
The servant's hands trembled, he almost didn't knock over the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "Son, please rest assured, the temperature of the water has been adjusted by the villain, you only need to stretch your legs, and leave the rest to the villain." ”
"I told you to test the temperature, didn't you understand?" Chen Tang played with the broad beans in his hand, raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Or, you have a ghost in your heart, and you don't dare to test it." ”
"Gong ...... Childe laughed. The official only felt that the voice was pierced into his heart like an embroidery needle, he hurriedly looked up, and saw Chen Tang looking at him with a smile, he was immediately shocked, and said with a stammer: "What is there to dare not try." ”
After that, he gritted his teeth, and his hands crossed the water like dragonflies dotting water, and hurriedly pulled it back, and said, "Son, you see that the temperature of this water is just right, and if you wait for the water, it will be cold." ”
Chen Tang moved his body and took out his crossed legs, and the official was about to step forward to take off Chen Tang's socks, but Chen Tang raised his foot and smashed it on his head.
The street servant's head was smashed directly into the wooden basin, and the boiling water immediately eroded his face, and the street servant howled in pain, and subconsciously raised his head upward.
Chen Tang stretched out his foot and pressed it on his head, the official struggled desperately, and the official who was hiding outside the door and was about to come in to help saw his companion calling, and hurriedly pushed the door and broke in.
"Sure enough, it is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief."
Chen Tang kicked away the official who was soaked in boiling water, and then kicked the wooden basin towards the door, and got into a full embrace with the official who rushed in the door.
"Ahhh
A basin of boiling water was sprinkled on his body, and the servant rolled on the ground in pain, howling with the other.
Chen Tang stood up, picked up the wooden basin, and said lightly: "For the sake of you saddle before and after the horse along the way, today Young Master Ben will spare your dog's life, if you dare to play some little clevers and play some little tricks, I advise you to prepare for the future in advance, I Chen Tang can't be merciful and let you go again and again." ”
After that, I took a wooden basin and went to the store to ask for some warm water to soak my feet.
After this incident, the two officials did not dare to play any tricks, and tried their best to entertain Chen Tang along the way, respecting them like ancestors.
After half a month, Chen Tang and the three of them finally came to Xiangping City, Liaodong County, and after the two officials handed Chen Tang to the prison city, they returned to the capital after receiving the handover documents.
The prison camp manager arranged for Chen Tang to take care of the beacon tower, also known as the beacon, is the ancient alarm defense system, which was established to prevent the enemy from invading, once the enemy invaded, the smoke was applied during the day, and the fire was lit at night, and the station was connected to transmit the message.
The beacon tower that Chen Tang was assigned to was deep outside the fortress, far away from the Han land, and it was generally exiled prisoners who were assigned to guard the beacon tower, typical cannon fodder.
The flint who guards this place...... His name is Ye Xing, in his fifties, he used to be a veteran, and he was later assigned here as a flint chief.
In addition to Ye Suichang, there were five other people, namely Du Xun, who was responsible for cooking, Sun Bin, and the rest of the people who were responsible for building the beacon tower and collecting firewood and grass.
After Ye Tunnel Commander briefly introduced them, he asked Chen Tang to follow them to collect firewood and grass in the future, Chen Tang was quite satisfied with this arrangement, going outside to collect firewood and grass was better than watching and cooking, at least freer than them.
"You must remember that when collecting firewood and grass, you must not be too far away from the beacon tower, if you meet a Hu person on the way, you can avoid it, if you are killed by a Hu person, you will die in vain." Ye Tunnel advised: "In this land of Liaodong, there are many Hu people, including Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Yufu, Goguryeo, etc., the relationship between them is complicated, and I can't say why, anyway, if you meet them, just ask for more blessings." ”
Chen Tang said indifferently: "Isn't it just a few Hu people, what's the fuss, they haven't met me, it's just that, if I dare to be presumptuous when I meet them, my Chen Tang is not a vegetarian, otherwise I won't be assigned to the place." ”
"It's good for young people to have faith, but don't take ignorance for faith." Ye Tunnel Chief pointed at Du Xun and said, "When they first came, they were as unruly as you, but now, they have died one after another, as long as they are still alive." ”
Du Xun and the others were expressionless, still doing their own things, and I don't know if they heard Ye Tunnel's words, maybe they heard it, maybe they didn't hear it, these are not important, the important thing is that they are still alive.
Chen Tang disagreed with his statement and retorted: "I, Chen Tang, would rather die vigorously than live in obscurity." ”
