Chapter 856: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
After the group arrived in Pei County, Zhuge Xuan and his entourage left after staying for three days, although Zhuge Liang was not left, but it was not a big deal, there was no need to be in a hurry, otherwise it might become a seedling to help grow but not beautiful, or let him go with the flow.
Xiaopei County, the government covers an area of about 30 acres, in addition to the government office, there is also a military camp behind the house and the government office, which is stationed here by the dragoon armor and his relatives, which can be regarded as his garrison troops, and the rest of the tens of thousands of horses are all stationed in the east of the city.
The government house is divided into the inner courtyard and the outer house, and the outer house lives in the east, which is a wing room, and the inner courtyard is not connected by a door, it can be said that it is two independent courtyards, and the wing courtyard has more than 100 houses, and the house is an independent courtyard, and lives under Liu Lan's account.
At the time of drinking Zhen Jiang, Liu Lan did not live in the inner courtyard, but moved to a wing room and mingled with everyone. Many orders were issued here, such as the notice issued at the first moment of entering Pei County.
After seeing off the Zhuge family today, Liu Lan returned to the county government accompanied by the generals.
Just like now, they can't see the real situation of a county at all, and if they want to understand the real situation of the county, there is a place to go to show all the bright and dark sides, and the market is no better place to reflect the people's feelings.
"Let's go, let's go to the center market."
When the people saw him full of joy, they smiled and went with him.
"Lord, I heard that this Peixian dog meat is extremely delicious, and I want to taste whatever I say today!" Zhang Fei, who was on the side, looked at the doorway of the market.
Fortunately, Liu Lan is not a dog lover, otherwise Zhang Fei would have kicked it again, but eating dog meat has been around for a long time. The eight precious foods listed above the Zhou Rite are called the Eight Treasures. They are cattle, sheep, elk, deer, pigs, dogs, and wolves, and those who like history should know that Fan Xu slaughtered dogs for a living. Gaozu Liu Bang likes to eat dog meat, because of this, in the Han Dynasty, the officials and the people of Qianshou like to eat dog meat, and the so-called dog meat can not be on the table is nonsense, no matter which market in the world, there are dog butchers and dog meat restaurants all over, but unfortunately Liu Lan is not interested in dog meat, and he has not eaten dog meat once, let alone as Zhang Fei said.
and a group of people walked into the market, which was not prosperous. Although there are many shops, but there are more hawkers selling along the street, disorganized, there is no order at all, not to mention those metropolises, even some small county towns are not as good as the out-of-town markets, dirty, disorderly is Liu Lan's first impression of Pei County Central Market (small market).
Soon, Liu Lan and his entourage stopped in front of a shop called: Turtle Juice Dog Meat. Although I don't know what the beauty of this dog meat shop is, there is a long queue outside the store, compared to several other dog meat shops. Business is much better.
The probe looked into the dog meat shop, and there were many diners, so much so that Liu Lan thought of the Fenglai Building in Luoyang City back then.
Zhang Fei was ready to move. However, Liu Lan didn't have an appetite for dog meat, so he had to follow him to the depths of the market. Where there are also people, there are disputes, and it is naturally the ancestors of the 'public procuratorate and law' who can resolve the disputes. Jian Yong is the county keeper who is responsible for the livelihood of the county, who is the county guard? Naturally, it was him Liu Lan. Why didn't Jian Yong continue to take over, it was really after years of appointment, Liu Lan, who only focused on military affairs and not politics, discovered an astonishing reality, in many places only recognized him Jian Yong instead of Liu Lan, this problem is actually not serious, but when even Jian Yong came to say, it was serious, Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it. The lord has been operating in Liaodong for a long time, and the people only know that the lord has never had a field of gossip, but Huangxian and Pei County are not, this is like using soldiers, and the order is out of one success, and out of two or three is defeat, so Liu Lan concurrently served as the county guard of Donglai County and Pei County under the persuasion of Jian Yong, as for the Yuzhou pastor, it is just a big cake painted by Tao Qian, and he has never been serious.
The group rushed to the place of the incident, and saw a big flag with three big characters written on it from a distance: 'Roller meat', and they didn't know in their hearts, and when they got closer, they saw that it was a shed that sold donkey meat, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jaw and said with a smile: "Junyi, I heard that the donkey meat in the river is very delicious, but I don't want Peixian to compare with it?" ”
It is said that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, but I don't know how the donkey meat at this time is compared to the future generations? Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the couplet in the burnt shop where I often went to eat breakfast in later generations: If you want to live a long life, eat donkey meat; If you want to be healthy, drink donkey soup' I couldn't help but smile in my heart.
Zhang Jaw smiled: "What the lord said is true, if you have the opportunity to go to the river, Jun Yi should serve a whole donkey banquet for the lord to taste, as for the donkey meat in Pei County, Jun Yi is not easy to say." ”
"All donkey feast?"
The corners of Liu Lan's mouth instantly stiffened: "That's not necessary, but I don't know if there is donkey meat burned, if there is, then I will be satisfied." ”
"Yes, yes." (I don't know if there is a fire, I didn't check it, I won't say I'm not rigorous, right?) )
Zhang Jaw was about to speak, but saw that the donkey meat shed was more noisy, several people sped up a few steps forward, and when they got closer, they saw several stout men who were teasing the proprietress in the donkey butcher shop.
At this time, the proprietress was confronting the big men, and it was the local catcher standing in the middle.
Liu Lan asked the people watching next to him, they said a word, I said, although noisy, but still learned about the situation, the proprietress of this shop is a widow, but she has to do business to support her family, since it is a business to open the door, naturally do not want to offend the guests, at the beginning of those stout men in the prime of life came in and teased her in every way, and later it was even more up and down to it, the proprietress is a woman, and she is a widow, so she naturally dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Later, the man standing next to the proprietress couldn't see it, and said a few words for her, so there was a conflict, and those people were about to make a move, and the arrest came quickly.
At this time, the catcher asked the reason, and heard that the strong men were not local accents, put the knife together, and greeted: "Come on, lock them up for me, and bring them back to the yamen to ask the county order to be issued." ”
As soon as the head finished speaking, those officials beckoned to step forward, not thinking that those strong men were not easy to do. One of them sneered and said, "I'll see who dares." After saying that, the person beside him pulled out the ring head knife at the same time, and was about to move when he saw the tension of the sword.
"Who dares? I dare. ”
The leader of the officials didn't expect these people to be so arrogant. He also drew his knife and said angrily: "If these people dare to resist." No mercy. After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Up." ”
I don't want those strong men to be arrogant one by one, shouting and sneering, and said: "Lao Tzu is under the command of Liu Junshou, I want to see which one dares to catch Lao Tzu." ”
Dahan said that it was under the command of Liu Junshou, and at this time, there could be several Liu Junshou in Pei County, and the head of the official was shocked, and immediately hesitated, and was about to be polite to these people to resolve the embarrassment, not wanting to shout from the crowd on one side: "I dare." ”
After the strong man said that it was Liu Lan's soldiers. The people around him scolded in a low voice: "Don't they all say that Liu Junshou is a good official?" Why did your soldiers do this? ”
"Ugh."
Liu Lan didn't know who was beside him and sighed, only to hear the sighing person whisper: "It is said that the official bandit family, the official bandit family, I think it is true, and the notice of the people is also issued, bah, it has only been a few days before the bandit statue was revealed, if it wasn't for the man just now who said a fair word, I think Widow Li will definitely let these soldiers and ruffians harm." ”
Liu Lan listened to the complaints of the bold people. More people were angry, but they didn't dare to speak out, and they immediately became angry and shouted: "The officials don't dare to arrest you." I dare. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Fei and the others: "Arrest me." ”
When the soldiers saw several people walking out of the crowd, they were already in a cold sweat, and the next moment they knelt on the ground under the shocked gaze of everyone. pleaded: "Please let the general spare a small life, and the general spare a small life." The little one won't dare to do it next time. ”
Seeing Zhang Fei and Xu Chu coming, they were all frightened. Although Zhang Fei and Xu Chu didn't recognize them, they recognized these two killing gods, and their legs were trembling at this time, and they were already so frightened that they were colorless.
"What are these two people doing?"
"I don't know."
"Let's just wait and see, and don't worry about anything else."
"It seems that it is the head of these people, it should be a general."
"Well, I don't have to look at it, let's go, let's go."
"Why are you leaving? Since their stewards came, they naturally wanted to punish them. ”
"What is the punishment, haven't you heard of the protection of officials and officials? These two people can still kill them, they must be taken away directly, when nothing happens. ”
"That's right."
Liu Lan watched many people turn around and leave after Zhang Fei and Xu Chu appeared, and then listened to their words, and immediately turned blue, the corruption of the officials of the Han Dynasty had already made the people lose confidence in the so-called officials, otherwise there would be no such words, suddenly saw Zhang Fei's eyes, and listened to the side open jaw and said: "Lord, since it is not a murderous business, just molesting a widow, I think it is better to take them back, and a little punishment is enough, so many people watch, it is not good for your reputation as a county guard." ”
"Not a big deal?"
Liu Lan could be said to look at Zhang Jaw viciously, and said, "Isn't it a big deal to flirt, but it's a big deal until they have harmed this woman?" ”
He was already furious, pushed away the crowd and walked to Zhang Fei's side, shouting: "Yide, Zhongkang, give me all these people to correct the Fa on the spot." "Murder Liwei, maybe they don't deserve death, but they hit the muzzle of the gun. And Liu Lan has always ignored a problem, with the expansion of strength, his troops are no longer the strict military discipline team when they entered Liaodong at the beginning of the year, the good and the bad are mixed, he decided to use this to strictly enforce military discipline, and this is why they were mercilessly executed.
Those strong men didn't expect Liu Lan to come out, and they didn't expect that it would be their own generals who would order a cadre to be corrected on the spot, and they pleaded sadly one by one: "General, general, the little ones know that they are wrong, you can spare the little ones, and the little ones don't dare anymore." ”
Liu Lan ignored them, turned to look at the people, bowed to the end, and said: "No, Liu Lan, added as the pastor of Yuzhou, not only did not make you live and work in peace and contentment, but because these soldiers brought you a lot of inconvenience, I, Liu Lan, am here to ask all the villagers and elders for their guilt." ”
After speaking, he dared to get up and said, "I, Liu Lan, promise you today that something like today's will never happen again!" ”
"Liu Yuanjun, you are a good official, you are a good official."
"Yes, Liu Yuanjun, they didn't commit much evil, just punish them a little, don't kill them." One of the elders spoke.
"Fathers and elders don't need to persuade me, Liu has made up his mind, and these people must be killed." As he spoke, he looked at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, glared angrily, and said, "What you have committed today, if you don't kill it, it's not enough to make the people angry, and if you don't kill it, it's not enough to set an example." ”
After speaking, he turned around, waved his hand to Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, and said, "Pull them to the clearing, don't defile here." ”
"Yes."
As soon as the two of them grabbed their swords at their waists, they walked towards those people, and they didn't want to hear the first one of them shouting: "Brothers, our brothers worked hard for them, but they ended up in such a situation, they treat you and me as pigs and dogs on weekdays, but they are brocade clothes and jade food, and they even beat and scold us if we want to beat us, and today even the people begged him to let us go, but he Liu Lan insisted on killing us, rather than this, we might as well fight with him." As he spoke, he picked up the ring knife that fell to the ground and killed Zhang Fei and the others.
"Yes, when did these officials treat us as human beings." The other person also picked up the ring knife and pounced, while the rest of the people who were kneeling on the ground did the same, and they also cursed and pounced.
Liu Lan turned to look at them, and saw that their eyes were red one by one, as if the long-suppressed anger had finally been released at this moment, and he was shocked, such a thing happened in my army? At this time, Liu Lan would never have thought that the troops that were like fingers in his heart were hiding such a fatal crisis.
Looking at the dying counterattack of these soldiers, Liu Lan actually felt a little unbearable, and thought bitterly, why didn't I find out earlier, if this was the case, I am afraid that today's incident would not have happened.
He originally wanted to stop Zhang Fei, but at this time, the nature of the matter had changed, and Guan Yu and the others, who had never appeared, also rushed up to help the moment they pounced on Zhang Fei.
Liu Lan looked at those catchers who were stunned in place, and said, "You guys should retreat first, there is nothing for you here." ”
glanced at the few soldiers who were pressed to the ground, turned his head unbearably, and said in a deep voice: "Take them with you, let's go to the school field." ”
Liu Lan made up his mind to completely solve the problem of the troops, and the purpose of this trip was, of course, to borrow their heads to make an example for his troops. (To be continued.) )
