Zhou Yan, the assassin of the state, is 45 years old this year.

It is the age when the officials of the Han family are motivated.

Zhou Yanzi is no exception, and over the years, he has been seeking to be transferred to Chang'an to take up a key position in Yushitai or even Shangshutai.

In this way, maybe before the age of sixty, there will still be a chance to look at the position of Jiuqing.

It's a pity that this dream suddenly woke up recently.

"Wei Yannian and Ma Yuan, these two bastards!" Zhou Yan angrily smashed his favorite lacquerware: "How dare they do such a thing?" ”

Collusion with horse bandits to assassinate a festival bearer?

Zhou Yan felt like he was going crazy.

He knew that as long as the matter reached Chang'an, he would be promoted.

I'm afraid that even the position of assassin of the state will be lost.

What's even worse is the news that came later.

The official residence of the Taishou of Yanmen County and the official residence of the county lieutenant, officials with more than 400 stones, were all suspended.

The good city is almost wiped out!

All kinds of news came back that Shanwu City had been taken under military control.

The cavalry of the Captain of Wuheng took over everything in Shanwu City.

At the same time, the Juzhu army was also mobilized by the envoys, and set up checkpoints on major roads and bridges to check the bamboo talismans of passing pedestrians.

The main officials of the 14 counties of Yanmen may have all been arrested.

If all these rumors are true!

So......

This means that his history of merging the state is about to come to a catastrophe!

What are the responsibilities of the Thorn History?

Zhou Yan remembered it clearly, and even the six duties of the assassination history personally instructed by the Son of Heaven were hung in the main hall of his official residence.

And now, Yanmen County tells the world with extremely clear facts that he has not even done a single thorn in this history!

This is dereliction of duty, but also a naked betrayal!

Once the Son of Heaven learns about it, I am afraid that someone will immediately come to the door and take him to ask for his guilt.

"What should I do?" Zhou Yan fidgeted and thought, "I must immediately stop that festival envoy from messing around like this!" ”

"I have to go to Yanmen!"

But......

"Even if you go, what can you do?" Zhou Yan suddenly lowered his head and sat on the ground depressed.

He was the envoy of the festival, the 'plenipotentiary messenger' as stated in the edict of the Son of Heaven.

There is the right to act cheaply, and the camera decides.

Compared with him, his so-called assassination history is just an insignificant little person.

Scare the local tycoons, perhaps.

But in front of a genuine festival bearer, or a messenger who holds a festival in the middle of the service.

It's just ants.

If you slash it with a sword, Chang'an won't ask.

"What should I do?"

"What to do!" Zhou Yan was anxious.

He knew that time was of the essence now, once the other party really wielded a butcher's knife in Yanmen County, he would kill all the officials and heroes of a county.

Then, he is not guilty of this assassination, but also guilty.

Not to mention, he himself is not clean.

Although he did not accept bribes, he covered up a lot of things for the officials of Yanmen County.

And just when Zhou Yan was anxious, he suddenly received a letter.

Moreover, it is a joint letter.

Look at the content of the letter, and then look at the names of the people who signed it.

Zhou Yan finally recovered his blood, he immediately made a decision, called his retainers, and ordered: "Raise my guard of honor, drive, I want to inspect Yanmen!" ”

"The law of the country is just in the world, and it will never be tarnished by power!" At this moment, Zhou Yan behaved like a strong order, upright and strict, and his face was full of justice: "Even if the blood is splashed three feet, I must advise the servants not to act out of anger!" ”

In just one sentence, the tone has been set for this trip.

Killing is OK!

Wei Yannian and Ma Yuan should be punished for their crimes.

Those who have lived closely with them also deserve it.

But......

If someone wants to forcibly punish the powerful and officials of a county, then he will have to perform a drama of 'admonishing', 'dissuading', and 'stubbornly arguing'.

In this way, even if he loses, he has nothing to lose.

Perhaps, it will become a model for officials and become the conscience of the contemporary.

So, on the same day, Zhou Yan drove to Yanmen with his staff.

When leaving Jinyang City, there were hundreds of nobles to send each other.

In order to show his determination, Zhou Yan even recited "Yi Shui Song" when he went out of the city: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return!" ”

Hearing all the nobles and officials present, they all applauded: "Zhou Thorn History, Zhenchen also!" ”

These aristocratic officials in Jinyang actually have almost nothing to do with the affairs of Yanmen.

They came here to build momentum for Zhou Yan purely because they were afraid and worried - God knows if the festival envoy will be addicted to murder and killing, and finally come to Jinyang to play a wave?

Who's not getting dirty under their buttocks?

But no one wants this world to have another powerful person like Wang Wenshu, Yizong, and Xianxuan, who likes to use the heads of powerful aristocratic officials as their stepping stones.

That's horrible.

Only a few well-informed magnates with information about Chang'an are worried at this time.

"That's Zhang Chiyou!"

"I hope Zhou Yan is not a ...... to invite disasters"

They know the current pattern of Chang'an, and they know very well that they really provoked that person, once the big guy in Jinyang is hated, I am afraid that he will not know how to die in the future.

But Zhou Yan was majestic and stepped out of Jinyang with high spirits.

The mood was so happy that he even held the letter in his hand and couldn't help humming a little song.

The names of the people on the letter were the courage of his journey.

That's dozens of scholars and celebrities from Upper County, Dai County, and Upper Valley County.

Although there are no giants of the major schools of Confucianism, they are all famous poets and local celebrities.

But that's enough.

…………………………

Lou Fu, the junction of Xihe County and Yanmen County.

At this time, a large army was crossing the mountains of this place and entering the plains in the distance.

The flag is displayed, and the armor is like a forest.

Exactly, the headquarters of the captain of Changshui led by Xu Xiangru.

Holding his beloved horse, he continued to climb a hillside, looked ahead, and let out a long breath: "I finally walked to Yanmen!" ”

"I hope the servant didn't wait too much...... "Xu Xiangru said, his heart had already flown to the city of Shanwu hundreds of miles away.

In the past ten days, he took Captain Changshui and the oil bottles who followed the Changshui cavalry, almost crawling at turtle speed, trekking between the rivers and roads of Xihe County.

There was no way, the cavalry marched, and in order to protect the war horses, they were already walking very slowly.

Generally, they lead the horses and serve those expensive war horses like an uncle.

In addition, he brought more than 2,000 oil bottles.

And, as the march progressed, more and more oil bottles were towed.

After the children of the local military nobles in Xihe County, the generals from Beidi and Longyou who heard the news, there are also those rangers and heroes who don't know where they heard about Zhang Chiyou's name and came to take refuge.

In the last few days, it has been even more exaggerated.

A large number of caravans also followed behind the ass of the army.

The big businessmen in Guanzhong seem to have heard something.

They all joined in.

The Yuan family, the Yang family, the Wang family......

Each of them attached great importance to it, and sent hundreds of large and small carriages and deer carts to carry a large number of goods.

So far, the whole team has formed a long queue on the galloping road.

Soldiers, scholars, and merchants stretched for more than ten miles.

It attracted hundreds of onlookers, and the people who ate melons were curious.

"Speed up!" Xu Xiangru called an officer and ordered: "Before dusk today, we must cross the smelting water and enter San'in!" ”

"No!" The person who came immediately received the order and conveyed the order to the whole army.

As a result, this huge team finally began to pick up speed.

But speed......

That is, a little faster than before.

After entering the territory of Yanmen County, all kinds of news immediately poured in.

"Someone dares to assassinate Zhang Chiyou?" After hearing about this, Xu Xiangru almost choked to death in the air: "Is he a long-term suspect?" ”

And the merchants and scholars who followed behind Captain Changshui were also happy after hearing about these things.

"I heard that there are so-called celebrities in Shangjun, Daijun, and Shanggu County, and they write letters to criticize the ...... of the servants" Han Wen gathered his friends and discussed together: "In my opinion, these so-called celebrities are probably going to be stinking for 10,000 years!" ”

Everyone else laughed.

How dare you criticize idols?

It's just impatient to live!

Don't look in the mirror and take a closer look at yourself!

Do you really think that if you put a cold and bitter place in this place, you will think that there is no one in the world when you are the king and hegemon?

"It is said that Zhou Yan, the assassin of Bingzhou, has already set off from Jinyang, and wants to go to Shanwucheng, and plans to embarrass the servant!" Han Wen looked at everyone and said, "This so-called assassination history, the brain is probably broken!" ”

"Gentlemen, why don't we wait and stop this person and teach him a lesson?"

"What my brother said is exactly what we think!" The crowd raised their arms and shouted, resolutely supporting Hangul's decision.

Anyway, all the way around, I was bored and panicked, just to find fun!

As for that, what is the history of thorns?

In this state, it may be considered a character.

But in Chang'an, he's a hair!

How can such a little person bother to serve the prince?

Doesn't that seem to be a shameless servant?

Let's just go and beat him up.

Anyway, they used to beat up big dogs and local tyrants from the state and county in Chang'an.

So, the big guy rode out and went towards the Yin Pavilion that must pass through from Taiyuan to Yanmen County, intending to teach the so-called thorn history that does not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth in Yin Pavilion County.

As a result, when they came out, they found that there were dozens of people, also riding horses or driving, heading towards the Yin Pavilion, and when they inquired, they found out that they were all young people who had the same idea as them.

Among them, there are all kinds of Northland Rangers, Haojie, and Jiangmen, and even some people's names, even they have heard of them in Chang'an.

So, everyone hit it off, and simply teamed up to form a small team and galloped towards the Yin Pavilion together.

The businessmen, on the other hand, were even more excited than Han Wen and others.

After hearing about the relevant incident, almost all of them were rushing with adrenaline, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly to the city of Zenna.

Because......

They saw an infinite business opportunity and smelled the scent of the five-baht coin.

Yang Sun's family was even almost wet, so he drove lightly and simply followed the road that day, and went straight to Shanwu.
