"Alright, my circumference history. It's good not to be surrounded by barbarians, do you still expect us to make meritorious contributions? Prepare well for war, and then toss us when the barbarians come back. ”

"Alas, come with me to meet Yang Taishou."

Yang Lang brought the two families to take office in the future, and met Pei Shao and Zhao Mu halfway, so he wanted to ask someone to help him come to Shangjun to fight, but they laughed and didn't answer, and left directly. When he walked to Shangyuan County and met Huang Shuhan, the envoy of Jiedu, Huang Jieshuai complained to him that he didn't even drink Zhou Cong's saliva after running to Shangjun. In addition, he also told him that now that the barbarians are entrenched under the upper county city, he will not be able to enter the city, so he should wait and see.

This wait reached the barbarians, waved their troops south, and ran in the direction of the Northland County. Huang Shuhan was so frightened that he had to wave his army to intercept him, as for Yang Lang, you go to the county town by yourself, the barbarians will not go in three or five days.

So Yang Lang quickly whipped up and went to Shangjun to take up his post.

"I've seen the Ming Mansion." Zhou Cong led all the subordinates of the county government to pay a big salute to Taishou.

"Everyone, please. This house is late, guilty, guilty. Then he stepped forward to help Zhou Cong, "There is Lao Changshi in charge, supporting left and right." The three of us have gone all the way, and the people have praised Changshi for his good governance and success in defending the land. In the war-torn season, you can't change the generals, this county is still in charge of Changshi, and when the barbarians retreat, they will make plans. ”

"It's too unacceptable, Zhou Cong is not good, and it has caused the people of a county to suffer, how can it be a mistake again and again?"

"You don't have to be too humble in your long history, you and I are the same age, and we should support each other. It's still Changshi's governance, there are some joints in the house, and he runs around for Changshi, but Lang doesn't dare not do his best. ”

At that moment, the two agreed that Zhou Cong would be in charge, and Yang Lang would contact heroes from all over the world to help.

Since the whole body is united and there are capable people to help, Zhou Cong is busy informing Chang He to discuss matters together.

Chang and there, there are already Pei Shao and Zhao Mu there. The three of them were old acquaintances, and Chang He also admired the Jianmen family. So after talking for a day and a night, Zhao Mu set a plan for him, and he quickly went to Shangjun City to discuss with Zhou Cong.

"No kidding! Do you want me to falsely claim bulk grain? ”

"Zhou Changshi, now that we go to the county, this bit of food from the county government is still worth remembering. If you announce that you have scattered the grain, the barbarians will definitely come back, and they will cut off the grain when you release the loose grain team. ”

"Chang, I'm talking nonsense......"

"Zhou Changshi, soldiers are not tired of cheating. The people will not blame the long history for not being trustworthy because of this. Of course, Zhao Mu came up with an idea to persuade people, "The barbarians' home is in the grassland, in the north of Shangjun, if they go deep into the interior, they will be rootless water, and they will not last long." Therefore, if you can get food in Shangjun, the barbarians will not go far. ”

Zhou Cong thought for a long time and agreed to this request.

So he posted the list everywhere and posted it in various counties:

"Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. What the barbarians are worried about is the grain concentrated in the upper county city. If the food is distributed to the people, the barbarians will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is nothing they can do......"

used the official order as a strategy, which annoyed Zhou Cong and made Zhou Cong helpless.

Sure enough, the barbarian Da Shan Yu was fooled, killed a horse gun and ran outside the Shangjun City, only to know that he was fooled. Wasting time and food on the road.

Tu Man fell for Zhao Mu, and Huang Shuhan was only not far away, so in desperation, Tu Man ordered a shot in the direction of Shangyuan County. As a result, the officials of Shangyuan County put pressure on Huang Shuhan, and Huang Shuhan returned to rescue Shangyuan County. As a result, Tu Man led people to escape from Yanmen County, and robbed three counties of Yanmen County before leaving.

In the end, Yanmen Taishou and Yanmen Zhonglang executed Qin Guang, and the two took money to atone for their crimes, lost their official positions and returned home.

Zhou Cong's treatment was the same, he was sent to prison and sentenced to death. Zhou Cong had no money to atone for his crimes, so he was taken to the capital by a prisoner car.

Before leaving, the people of the twenty counties of Shangjun (not counting Gaonu County) all sent Zhou Cong a letter of mercy to intercede. So Zhang Tang, the assassin of Shanzhou, gave Zhou Cong a torture instrument and only let him stay in the prison car.

"Thank you. But Zhou Cong was tortured, which is not legal. ”

"A long history who has been sent to Wanmin by all the subordinate counties, how can I put torture tools on him? Brother Zhou, with these twenty copies of the Book of the People, you can't die! Hahaha......"

"That is, Brother Zhou has the style of an ancient virtuous minister. Pei Shao admired and was willing to send Brother Zhou to Beijing. ”

"Brother Zhou, Yang has a duty, I can't send Brother Zhou, I'm ashamed. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and you won't ask for money if I send you money, but I hope you don't shirk the food I send you along the way. Yang Lang took out the silver and gave it to the messenger, "Several, I hope you will have good wine and meat to entertain Zhou Changshi." ”

"Brother Yang, this is yours, isn't it, will we treat Brother Zhou badly along the way?"

"Your intentions don't conflict with mine's."

"Hahaha......" Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they were happy, not like escorting people to the execution ground, as if sending friends on a long trip.

And other officials in Shangjun also came to see Zhou Cong off. Everyone gave a little effort, or food, or wine.

In the end, the tax official Ma stall cried, holding Yushi's leg to intercede for Zhou Cong:

"Envoy, Zhou Changshi is a good official, I hope that Envoy Jun will have a lot of good words in front of the king."

As soon as he cried like this, thousands of people on the side of the road also cried. Shanzhou Thorn Shi was helpless: "The law of the country is like this." After all, the matter of Gaonu County is confirmed, and I will report it to the king truthfully. Rest assured, the villagers will be fine. ”

"How long has it been, there has not been an official arrested, and there are people who have cried out for him."

"Brother Pei, Yu Zhishi, the head of the Cambridge family, tell me, which virtuous minister is the closest?"

"It's going to be more than 50 years."

"It's a pity, my uncle asked me to learn more from Zhou Changshi, but Zhou Changshi is so ......"

"Rest assured, there will be a chance soon."

Leaving the upper county town, along the way in a carriage in a carriage, a prisoner carriage in a prisoner carriage. Zhou Cong couldn't eat, but his wife not only did not complain, but persuaded him to think better. The two sons also pulled his clothes and held food for him to eat.

Seeing six-year-old Zhou Heng and three-year-old Zhou Sheng, Zhou Cong felt that there was still hope in life, so he looked at his wife's glasses and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job." Then tears of guilt flowed.

The wife hugged the family of four: "No, you are not sorry for our mother and son." In the future, Heng'er and Sheng'er will be proud of you when they grow up. Then he secretly attached it to Zhou Cong's ear and said softly: "Lang, you are the first official to get the Book of All People in fifty years, Your Majesty will not let you die......"
