The person who came to report was Chen Ju, and now he also has a lot of soldiers in his hands, and he has a faint taste of being a pro-soldier leader, and he can usually be called stable, but at this time he is a little shocked.

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhi put down the book, looked up and asked.

Chen Ju hurriedly said: "There are Hu merchants in the city who are making trouble, but it is the person who is Tuoba Xianbei!" "He is a member of the Chen Zhi clan, and a close confidant, usually come and go, contact a lot of core things, of course know that the current situation is urgent, Chen Zhi is facing the approach of the army, it is the time to unite all parties and resist together, that Tuoba Xianbei is a foreign aid that can be sought, and it cannot be offended, so the businessmen of the Tuoba Department make trouble, and they cannot be taken lightly.

Chen Zhi frowned and asked, "It was reported to you by the people below?" ”

Chen Ju said: "It was the two gentlemen who asked me to report it, and the news was reported directly to them. ”

"I see, okay, I'll go and see."

When Chen Zhi arrived at the conference hall, before he walked in, he heard a noisy sound inside, and if the sound was real, he was afraid that the roof would be lifted, obviously not only Chen Zi and Su Liao were inside.

Waiting for Chen Ju to push open the door, get out of the way, and let Chen Zhi set foot in it, the noise dissipated in an instant, revealing the people inside.

Looking around, Chen Zhi saw Chen Zi and Su Liao with a wry smile on their faces, and sitting next to the two of them were Liu Bao, Lan Luo, Zhou Ao and other officials of the yamen in the county, in addition, they were Zhu Liu, Wang Huo, Tang Dian and other family officials.

"Okay, people are coming so together, and I won't have to go and summon them one by one." Just by looking at the past, Chen Zhi knew why Chen Ju was so panicked, and if he dared to love today's matter, it must be so troublesome that the major families couldn't sit still.

However, looking at the quarrel between these people, it is obvious that they are divided into two camps, but one of them is alone, and his scruples are only for a few days, it is Chen Zi and Su Liao, who are surrounded by people, and at most one Lan Luo-

From the positions of everyone and the expressions on their faces, Chen Zhi made this preliminary judgment.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, everyone disturbed and came to admonish, including Liu Bao, the county prince, as well as many family heads and talkers, all of whom were among them-

"Taishou, today's matter is not small, don't be too persecuted!"

"Yes, in today's situation, we must appease the main party, and we must not make strong enemies again!"

"Although it is also a Xianbei species, but it belongs to different tribes, the Tuoba Department has always been friendly with Taishou you, in case it is annoying, but the enemy starts a fire, and as soon as this fire burns, Daijun will be miserable."

……

"Okay," Chen Zhi frowned and waved his hand, "Gentlemen, calm down, this official was arranging military affairs before, and he just got the news, and he doesn't know the details, he should always figure out the reason. ”

When he spoke, he also deliberately glanced at Ran Zhan beside Zhou Ao, and when he saw that this kid was silent, he knew that he had something in his heart, and he was holding back, but he didn't ask.

"Hui Taishou, that's the case......" Zhou Ao took a step forward and began to talk about the cause and effect, he was Chen Zhi's old department, he was close, he didn't have many scruples to speak, and he was in charge of the captain's errand, knowing the specific situation, and as soon as he said this, it became clear immediately-

It turned out that it was a team of Hu merchants from the Tuoba Department who brought a few friends to visit relatives and friends in Dai County, but they were stopped by the gatekeeper who guarded the city for inspection.

It must be known that at the moment it is still under military control, and people who come and go must be registered and carefully checked, especially in the recent period, most people who go out of the city have been delayed, so that when they register, they have to wait in line.

Because no matter whether you enter or leave, you are registered in one place, so those who enter the city also have to wait, but the Hu merchant who came over today seems to rely on his identity and background, and he is quite impatient to handle it in advance.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, but pay attention to a doorway, since you have to do things in advance, and there is no connection in the city, then you should open the way with money and take out the benefits, the doorman is happy to turn a blind eye, but this person is unwilling to line up, and is not willing to spend money, and the doorman, the official Xu argued to the end, simply gathered people, smashed the city gate guard shed to the bottom, and made a lot of noise!

"When his subordinates brought people over, that Hu Shang had already entangled many Xianbei people in and out of the city, most of them were Tuoba Divisions, but there were also Na Yuwen and Murong who belonged, and the matter was big, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and he needed you to make up his mind!"

Now that the Xianbei army of the Duan Department is approaching Dai County, the Xianbei people in and outside the city are strictly monitored, and the Xianbei people who belong to the Duan Department are even more arrested, run, and there is no left, but anyone who is a little suspicious and involved with the Duan Department has also been placed under house arrest and interrogated.

However, the Xianbei people of those other tribes, although there is surveillance, there are not too many arrests, this is also the common will of the whole county, from the yamen to the family, they are not willing to make extraneous branches at this time, provoking a section of Xianbei, it is already the limit, if you provoke several other tribes, then in the north it is really an enemy.

It's just that it seems to be a side effect right now.

"What about people? Where are you now? After listening to Zhou Ao's introduction, Chen Zhi immediately asked about the location of the group of Hu people.

"I've been placed in a post house to be appeased." Zhou Ao arched his hand and said, his words cautious, because he didn't know what Chen Zhi's attitude was.

Chen Zhi then asked again: "This person said that he was a Hu merchant from the Tuoba Department, but can anyone prove it?" ”

"It can be proven, it can be proven."

This time, it was Zhu Liu, the head of the Zhu family who made a mistake in judgment before, and did not seize the opportunity to make good Chen Zhi, so that the Zhu family fell behind the Tang family, and after going back, he was also reprimanded by the elders in the family, and almost lost his authority.

At this time, as soon as he came out of the ranks, he lowered his head and said: "A nephew under him, who once went out of the city as a businessman, has a little contact with this Hu Shang, and knows that this person is also surnamed Tuoba, and he is one of the clans of Tuoba. ”

As soon as Chen Zhi heard this, he looked at everyone's expressions again, and understood the root of the noise, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, this person's name is Shangjia, but according to what you said, he is a member of the family in the Central Plains, and his status is not low, and he can be regarded as a talker." ”

Wang Huo on the side came out and said: "This is precisely because the Xianbei people are different from my Central Plains etiquette and customs, and the head of the family walks as a businessman, but this person has an identity and has a certain influence on the Tuoba Department, so he has to be treated carefully." ”

"I understand what the two mean," Chen Zhi looked at the people from the family in front of him and asked, "Are you saying that you want to release this person?" Don't you investigate him for injuring court officials and damaging the guards? ”

Zhu and Wang glanced at each other, did not answer immediately, but fell on Liu Bao, who was sitting on Chen Zhi's side.

Chen Zhi also took the opportunity to look over, and Liu Bao showed a helpless look, got up and arched his hand, and said: "If it is usual, this person is so unscrupulous, of course, he must be held accountable and cannot be tolerated, but the current situation is different, for the sake of the overall situation, he will not put this person under house arrest first, and appease the top, and he can't be evil to the Tuoba Department." ”

Zhu Liu added at this time: "And this Hu merchant has a wide range of friends, and he has surplus wealth, so he and several other Xianbei are also close in the past, so a call, many Xianbei people of other races inside and outside the city have responded, and under the overwhelming number of people, it is the errand and soldiers of Zhou Duwei, all of whom are defeated and retreated, and it is difficult to resist." ”

Wang Huo also spoke: "This is also the reason why we are waiting to persuade Taishou and Zhujun, there are really a lot of people involved this time, if it is not necessary, it is better to turn the big thing into a small one, and punish the big one a little, at most we will suffer a loss, so as to sell a friendship to the Tuoba Department." ”

"Oh? Even the soldiers collided? Still gathering crowds to make trouble? One word can gather many Xianbei people? Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, and a little cold glint flashed in his eyes, "If this person really has as many contacts as you have received, does he also have money with you?" Perhaps, that section of Xianbei also has a friendship with him. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present only felt a cold air rising from under their feet, and faintly noticed Chen Zhi's thoughts.

Then Zhu Liu and Wang Huo were even more about to speak.

At this time, Liu Frame of the Liu family came forward and said: "Taishou, now that the Duan Department is coming, the news has been confirmed, the convoy out of the plug has been affected, and has to temporarily retreat, the prestige of the Duan Department is not small, I heard that there are 50,000 people, that is, it is just a public announcement, but 30,000 people should always be there, plus they have recruited people along the way, I am afraid that it will eventually exceed 50,000, and it is not known, the overall situation is like this, it is already difficult to fight against this family, that Tuoba Xianbei is the closest to Dai County, if we mishandle it, the foreign domain will be surprised, and the disaster will be endless!" I heard that Taishou and the people of the Tuoba Department still have negotiations, and they want to get a population of several thousand, and they will send two famous men as envoys, so they should always consider all sides, and the overall situation is important. ”

These people from the family are really well-informed, and they can only hide it for a while.

Chen Zhi said so in his heart, glanced at Chen Zi and Su Liao again, saw that the two of them looked solemn, frowned, knew that the two of them were also worried about this matter, chuckled, and asked: "Then according to you, this matter should be let go, and even suffer a small loss, in order to show friendship and not surprise the friends?" ”

At this time, Chen Ju's voice outside the door came in again: "Qi Yu Taishou, there are Tuoba elders in the city who ask to see you." ”

"It's really lively," Chen Zhi suddenly laughed, "Before the army attacked, I called on all parties in the city to contribute, and I didn't see so many people come forward, let alone so quickly, but today they all took the initiative to jump out, just in time, let him in, I will meet him." ”

It's just that his smile makes many people in the family feel a chill to the bone, this is Chen Zhi's grace and majesty are now in the bone marrow of the Daijun family, so that no matter what they have in mind, when facing Chen Zhi, they are instinctively in awe.
