Xiangping, Liaodong County Administration, is a middle county, the population has 1,200 households, the city is one zhang higher than Xinchang County, but compared to the new Xinchang City, the Xiangping city tower that will be repaired every year is a little dilapidated, the city tower can be seen everywhere mottled traces, some collapsed gaps have been repaired, but still open teeth.

Outside the city, the grass market was endless, and it was as noisy as all the markets.

But today's Xiangping grass market is a bit special, quiet and quiet, silent, the people sigh between the people, as if something important has happened, and at the entrance of the city, more than a dozen county soldiers are stationed with halberds, because it is relatively close to the city gate, whether it is in and out of the city gate or in and out of the grass market, you can see what the county soldiers are guarding, but as the sun continues to rise, the county soldiers are getting farther and farther away from the guardians, and it also completely reveals what they are guarding, which is a dead corpse.

The dead corpse was whipped, the skin was opened, and after the whipping, there was no good place in the whole body, and the flowing blood had already coagulated, fortunately it was late autumn, and there were no flies and insects raging, otherwise the smell of the corpse would not just make the stomachs of the people who came and go by a while, but retched directly, but even so, there were still many people who were discouraged, and they could no longer go in and out of the grass market calmly to shop.

Witnessing this qiē, Liu Lan entered Xiangping City under the leadership of the envoy, and for many years in the Han Dynasty, he was no stranger to the scene of abandoning the city, and he didn't care about it, but he was just a little curious about the identity of the deceased, and what heinous crimes he committed would be abandoned in the city, and even the corpse was not allowed to be claimed. led a group of men and horses into the city, Zhang Fei and they went to the post house to rest first. And he had to go straight to the county guard's mansion to meet the county guard.

The Son of Heaven is newly mourned, and there will definitely be no reception or anything, that is, to meet with the county guard. Tell the people that someone has arrived, and then go back to the post house and wait for the preparation.

But when he took a group of people into the county guard's mansion, he found that it was strange, the garrison was indescribably strict, the armor was full of weapons, and it looked like the county guard's mansion, it was like the school camp of the county soldiers. When I entered the hall, my first impression was that it was spacious. The decoration is elegant, but because it is a state funeral, the luxurious decorations have been removed, only a few bottles of smoking incense burner sandalwood rose faintly, refreshing people's hearts. Six tall beams and columns. Each one was wrapped in a white cloth, and there were seats for fifty people on one side, but at this moment there were four people sitting in the hall, to be precise, there were four county commanders from various counties in eastern Liaodong, and there were no servants. At this time, the four county gentlemen who came in advance were gathering together, but they were not in a very good mood. With a sad face, when he heard the sound, he turned his head and found Liu Lan, who was even more like a dead relative and friend.

Being greeted like this, even if you are in a good mood, it is inevitable that it will not be a taste, but Liu Lan is more curious about what is going on today, the people of Xiangping are like this, why are they all depressed one by one? smiled and greeted a few people one by one, and said, "Why are you county gentlemen sighing here?" ”

"I didn't expect that even Liu Xianjun was also tricked." The speaker was Ling Wuxi of Liaoyang County, and there was a sigh between the words, and he pretended to smile and introduced Liu Lan and several county gentlemen.

Liu Lan is the first time to see these county orders, I didn't know each other before, as for this Liaoyang County Commander Wuxi, mainly because Liaoyang is close to Xiangping County, Liu Lan made a special trip to Xiangping to congratulate when he took office, and he is the only one among the many county orders in Liaodong.

At that time, compared to Liu Lan's polite saying that the county guard was too humble, this Wen Jiaochu flattered the county guard on all sides and said that he could never afford to be Wen Jiaochu, only the county guard is the real bull ear in Liaodong, you listen to what people say, how high-sounding and pleasant, at least the county guard laughed and showed his happiness, this is the first time the two met, and the impression of this Wuxi county commander in my heart is naturally not much better, but later as I stayed in Liaodong for a long time, I have a deeper understanding of this Wen Jiaochu, only to find that the evaluation of him in my heart was a bit preconceived.

To say that Wu Xi is a man of all sides is true, but to say that flattery is by no means true, on the contrary, Wu Xi is still a very talented county commander, why Liu Lan finally came to such an evaluation, of course, not because he was born as a small official, but under his governance, not only made the poor people of Liaoyang have enough food and clothing, but also really did not close the door at night and did not leave anything behind in morality and politics.

Hearing this, some people will say that this Wuxi County Order must have taken the concept of benevolence and righteousness to the extreme, but it is not necessarily true, Wuxi County is precisely used to use the Xun family as a ritual music.

At the beginning of his tenure as the commander of Liaoyang County, the first thing he did was to dredge water and ditches, open up a lot of money to help the poor, but in terms of morality, he governed the people with strict laws, so that the public security of Liaoyang, which was rough and rough, could be improved, and then revitalized education and guided people to goodness.

It is precisely because of his misunderstanding, coupled with his love for the people like a son, that Liu Lan showed special respect for such a good official, and arched his hand: "Why did Wuxian Jun say this? His previous words were full of strangeness, coupled with the fact that the county government and the entire Xiangping had arranged heavy troops, so Liu Lan had to pay attention to it, wrinkling his brows, and at the same time glancing at several county orders, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

A few people, you and I roughly told the incident, and it was not until this time that Liu Lan knew that the previous county guard had been dismissed, and the new county guard was named Gongsun Du, because fellow villager Xu Rong recommended it in front of Dong Zhuo to become the Liaodong Taishou.

In his memory, Gongsun Yuan, who should have been appointed by Dong Zhuo, became Gongsun Du, and instantly thought that it might be a memory deviation, and the familiar name of Gongsun Du instantly reminded him of the Lulong County Order that once poisoned the people, isn't that person Gongsun Du's proud protégé, but even if there is such a grievance that is not a grudge Liu Lan didn't take it to heart, some things had already been put on the agenda, and this change was just to advance the schedule, although it would break the plan, but it didn't prevent the overall situation. But the subsequent news made him regret it a little, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to Liu Yin's persuasion, could that dream really mean something?

Liu Lan, an atheist, felt empty in his heart. (To be continued......)
