Chapter XVIII

As soon as the sky was bright, Gongsun Xun, who had not slept well all night, went on the road with Han Dang and others, they honestly retreated back according to the wrong route taken yesterday, and asked for directions when they met people, and did not forget to go to rest and beg for hot soup when they met a small village called Dahuangli...... No way, I was really thirsty yesterday.

And just when this pedestrian got the exact direction from Da Huangli and was about to go on the road again, he suddenly saw the road dusty and the sound of horses' hooves.

Sure enough, when the car door opened, there was really a court official with a copper seal and black ribbon, and listening to the names of the surrounding officials, it was Cui Min Cui County Jun of this county who arrived.

The lieutenant chief and the big household in the middle of the house were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down and greet them, but the 600 stone Cui Xianjun (the Han family system, the level of the head of a county is determined according to the county's household registration, from 300 stone to 1,000 stone) was not seen at all, and the surrounding officials were busy working up and down, but they only wanted hot soup and forage...... It made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief.

After a little questioning, I found out that there was a big case in Sanmari last night, and the thieves and jailers in Nanhe County, Julu County could not deal with it at all, so this Cui County Jun had to come over in person.

"How?" Gongsun Xun didn't want to provoke this unknown county magistrate, but after he avoided it from a distance, he still couldn't help but let Han Dang and the others go and inquire...... He couldn't do it without asking, he knew when he asked for directions just now that these three Mali and Da Sangli were next to each other, and the latter happened to be where Na Jia Chao's home was located, and it was also the destination of his trip.

And besides, a capable cavalryman who rode a horse and straddled a knife had just returned to such a big case, and no one could think about it.

"It's Jia Chao! I can't see that this guy has the courage to kill nineteen people from a large family in one go. And he didn't leave after killing someone, so in the middle of the night, he asked the lieutenant governor of Sanmari to ride a horse to report to the official, and he asked the lieutenant governor of Dasanli to sit at the door of the big household with him, waiting for the county officials to arrest him. Han Dang said that people were bold, but there was a taste of appreciation on his face, after all, this master who dared to rob the camp for thirty horses, where would he really care about this kind of thing?

"Do you know why?" Gongsun Xun asked curiously. "Just got home, why did this kind of thing happen?"

However, as soon as he asked Gongsun Xun, he felt bored...... Although I don't know the specific situation, as soon as I go back, I did this kind of case, or it was aimed at a big family in the countryside, and even killed someone and didn't run away.

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun's mind turned, but he quickly changed his words and ordered one thing: "Since I have encountered it, I can't ignore this matter, go to the burden and stab the name of my uncle, I want to meet this Cui County Jun of Nanhe County!" ”

"The little boy is from Liaoxi?" The county commander was about forty or fifty years old, and he was obviously a little surprised when he saw the famous thorn handed over by the other party. "Liaoxi Gongsun is the head of the right Beiping...... This Gongsun Zhao is the one who recently said in the newspaper of the imperial court that he led the army to break Xianbei...... Who are you? ”

"It's Uncle Xia."

"I see, I am a native of Qinghe County, I once served as Hucao of Qinghe County, and I also had a colleague that day, called Gongsun Fang, and I have a very good relationship with my brother Cui Yan, and now both of them are studying at the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, I don't know ......"

"It's also a clan uncle, but it's a branch of Qinghe...... My Gongsun clan is a majestic clan, from Liaodong to Beihai, there are clansmen around the Bohai Sea. "The relationship has climbed, and Gongsun Xun quickly changed his name." Don't hide it from your uncle, the kid is from the Lingzhi Sect of Liaoxi. ”

"I see...... Liaoxi, Liaoxi, why is the virtuous nephew here? ”

"Go to Luoyang to study."

"Going to study in Luoyang? Why didn't the virtuous nephew hurry up and hit the road, but instead stayed here? ”

"Back to Cui Xianjun, the kid is here to visit friends." Gongsun Xun replied politely.

"Poor country, where did you get your 'friend'?!" This Cui Xianjun actually felt a little gritted teeth.

"Don't hide it from Cui Xianjun, I was originally going to Dasangli to see Jia Chao, who killed someone." Gongsun Xun is still neither humble nor arrogant, but has a sense of grandeur. "On that day in Lulongsai, Liaoxi, Xianbei Koubian, my uncle Sun Zhao sent troops to attack at night, I was a county official in Liaoxi, and I also participated in the war, and this Jia Chao also fought side by side with us that day, which is a bit of friendship. His return to his hometown this time is also a gift from me...... Hearing that he was full of murder as soon as he returned to his hometown, he must have a hidden secret, so he couldn't ignore it. ”

"I knew it!" This Cui Xianjun finally became angry. "As soon as I saw the word Liaoxi on the famous thorn, I should know that you have something to do with Jia Chao, who just came back from Liaoxi! You said that you are from a famous family, young and have a great future, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?! You just claimed that you were also an official in the county when you were at home in Liaoxi, and you must know that the law of the country is ruthless. ”

"It's because of the young age and good future that I can't ignore this matter!" Gongsun Xun said without flinching. "Cui Xianjun...... Back then, Yuan Jie Gong (celebrity Zhang Jian) killed people for his friends, and people all over the world praised him, what kind of character is Yuan Jie Gong, do you need a kid to talk about it? Even if it is remote in western Liaoning, a few years ago, there was a deed of Yang Fangzheng (Yang Qiu) in a neighboring county, and he gathered a crowd to kill the whole family of the official because others insulted his mother. As a result, isn't it also famous all over the world, filial piety and honesty, and becoming an official? Even if Jia Chao is from a humble background, he is also a friend I recognize, how can I abandon it? Cui Xianjun, let me say it bluntly, if he is bent on death, the kid will never ignore the law of the country. But if there is any injustice in his chest, is Zhang Jian the only one who dares to avenge his friend? Could it be that only Yang Fangzheng dares to gather a crowd to kill people without being crowned?! ”

Saying that, Gongsun Xun actually held the handle of the knife in front of a group of law enforcement officers on the other side.

However, whether it was Cui Xianjun or the officials in the surrounding counties, they were all speechless...... Because, what the other party said is really the mainstream values of this fucking up! The Han Dynasty is talking about a Spring and Autumn Righteousness, where revenge must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid. And once you do this kind of thing, you will definitely make a name for yourself!

In fact, our Cui Xianjun can't see it at this time, the kid surnamed Gongsun in front of him may really want to make a name for himself! Think about it, if there are no twists and turns in the case, it won't hurt this kid, anyway, it's just a trip, and you can lose a piece of meat?

But if there is a chance, why don't people make a name for themselves in Hebei before leaving?

However, things are not so simple.

In other words, when someone came to the county to report the case late at night yesterday, they had already given a general introduction to the case, and although this Nanhe County Cui County Commander did not have time to investigate the case, he already had some general personal views on the case in his heart...... The dead man was a big family of horses, and it was clearly a hillbilly that had just risen to the ground by climbing the minions of the eunuch eunuchs. Therefore, some things can be guessed with your eyes closed, and it is estimated that this family was a little unscrupulous when they bullied the township, and they happened to encounter a thug like Jia Chao, who licked blood on the tip of the knife, which caused trouble.

And since the case is related to the eunuch minions who are causing trouble in the township, and the uncrowned young man in front of him said the name of Zhang Jian, who became famous all over the world by confronting the eunuchs, then Cui Xianjun naturally had one more concern:

You know, this eunuch, if no one offends today, if you are really offended, you will really be ruined. But if you succumb to the power of the eunuchs and your reputation is tarnished, the man will not tolerate you...... Because in this Han Dynasty, everyone has to pay attention to face and reputation, and shameless people generally can't get mixed up unless they cut themselves off and send them to the palace. After the two disasters of the party, those anti-eunuchs and scholars, although they could not be officials, but they became more and more in control of public opinion.

You don't see, because Zhang Jian offended Hou Lan, who was the ten permanent servants, he ran for his life along the way, and he stopped looking at the door, and how many scholars in the world did not hesitate to destroy his family in order to protect him. Later, even the officials who pursued him took the initiative to abandon their officials and left, and said to the scholars who protected Zhang Jian, 'Please share half of this benevolence with me'?

This kind of momentum is really respectful to the point of fear.

Of course, the remaining living people in this case were all ordinary people, and ordinary people were not considered human beings in these years, and they were not qualified to discuss high-end topics such as public opinion and reputation. In the past, I only said that I was impartial in enforcing the law, putting on a cool face of a lawyer, should I kill and bury it?

But then again, a child of the Gongsun clan of Liaoxi who is going to Luoyang to study is in front of him, that is a giant clan of two thousand stones for generations, the entire Bohai Sea, seven or eight counties have clan branches, and business tentacles, and his hometown Qinghe County will also be within the influence of this family, and Qinghe is also the birthplace of the party's momentum...... This is why Cui Xianjun has to consider this issue of public opinion.

The fodder was fed, the horses regained their spirits, the hot soup was drunk, and the people warmed up.

However, after re-entering the road, Cui Xianjun looked at Gongsun Xun riding a high-headed horse outside the car and his four or five companions holding knives and bows, and he had a headache!
