After bidding farewell to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei continued his life as a county lieutenant, and a few days later, a government official came to Liu Bei, saying that he was invited by the county commander.

The county order of Anxi County is called Hu Yun, and he is okay, but he is a little timid.

On the way, Liu Bei asked the county magistrate what he was looking for, and the magistrate told him mysteriously that he was a postal supervisor from Zhongshan County.

Liu Bei was shocked, this superintendent is an important official at the county level, and he is usually sent by the county Taishou to inspect whether the local officials of the counties in the county are competent, and he is in charge of the post station in the county.

Liu Bei was a little puzzled, what was this superintendent doing in this small Anxi County.

Soon Liu Bei came to the county magistrate's summer office, and happened to meet several fifty or sixty county elders, these old men seemed to be looking for him something after seeing Liu Bei, but they couldn't say it clearly for a while, so Liu Bei had to arrange for them to wait here first. After all, it should be quick to meet the superintendent.

Liu Bei followed the officials into the summer office, and saw a wide and fat man sitting on the main seat of the summer office, and Hu Yun, the commander of Anxi County, was sitting next to him, with a cautious face.

At this moment, after the county commander Hu Yun saw Liu Bei coming in, he hurriedly got up and pulled Liu Bei to introduce: "Xuande, this is the money sent by the county to supervise the mail!" Then Hu Yun approached Liu Bei's ear and whispered to Liu Bei: "Xuande, I heard that the imperial court issued an edict, and anyone who became an official because of the military exploits of the Yellow Turban will be dismissed." ”

After Liu Bei heard what Hu Xian ordered to say, his face did not change, he bowed quietly and saluted: "Humble Liu Bei Liu Xuande to meet Qian Inspector Post!" ”

Qian Jin leaned back in his chair, he had already seen Hu Xianling's small movements, but he didn't care.

Qian Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Bei, only to see that Liu Bei's clothes had been patched several times, and he couldn't help but feel a little disapproving, he was a poor ghost again.

But this Liu Bei looked poor, he should have some money, thinking of this, Qian Jin got up and said with a smile: "What is the background of County Lieutenant Liu?" ”

Liu Bei said with a straight face: "Bei is after King Jing of Zhongshan; The great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of Han. Since Zhuo County killed the Yellow Turban, more than 30 battles of all sizes, quite a small achievement, so he was named the captain of Anxi County. ”

"Oh." Qian Jin looked Liu Bei up and down with a smile, and then said with a mockery: "I didn't expect that County Lieutenant Liu is still a descendant of the royal family, so I guess County Lieutenant Liu should know how to do it!" ”

Liu Bei was stunned, he didn't understand what Qian Jin was talking about, and looked at Hu Yun inquiringly.

Hu Yun secretly took out a coin from his arms and waved it at Liu Bei, Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "My lord, do you want to give me money to buy wine?" ”

Hu Yun wiped his forehead and didn't speak, this Liu Bei usually looks quite clever, why is he confused at this time.

Qian Jin sat on the main seat and let out a sneer: "County Lieutenant Liu, why pretend to be confused, you don't know what I want, right?" ”

Liu Bei's head shook like a rattle, and he said with a humble expression: "Lord Qian, I really don't know about my humble position!" ”

Qian Jin's face sank, his fat body suddenly got up from the chair, he pointed at Liu Bei with his finger, and said with a hideous face: "You lied that you were the emperor and falsely reported your achievements!" Now the imperial court has issued an edict, and it is about to eliminate abusive officials like you! ”

Liu Bei's face also changed at this moment, how could he not know that this superintendent of the post money was just trying to bribe himself, but he had not committed any crime with Minqiu since he took office, and there was money for him!

Originally, it was nothing to be a county magistrate with his merits in begging for the Yellow Turban, but it was the lack of money to bribe that led to him being a small county lieutenant.

Now that this superintendent has come to him to bribe him so blatantly, the more Liu Bei thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, the more angry he becomes, at this moment Liu Bei's face is calm, his voice reveals a little stubbornness, he took a step forward and came to Qian Jin's side, exuding a murderous aura all over his body.

After all, Liu Bei came out of the Yellow Turban turmoil, his murderous aura, how could a superintendent who only knew how to be greedy for money could bear it, Qian Jin staggered back on the chair, and said with horror in his eyes: "Liu Bei, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Bei had a smile on his face, but his heart was already full of anger, his fame with a knife and a gun, but he was still threatened by these court moths, he sneered and said to Qian Jin: "Qian Duyou, how can I Liu Bei be a person who is a man of false words?" Under the teacher Lu Zhi taught me, those who are officials should ask for the people's lives, not be greedy and pervert the law, if it is really that the person who has no virtue and no talent, the adults can deal with it themselves, so why say more, but the adults openly and secretly let the officials bribe, and be prepared to forgive the fate! Leave! ”

After Liu Bei said these words, he turned around and left, Qian Jin's face was blue for a while, purple for a while, he had received this kind of anger there, every time he went down to the counties under the county, the county officials of the counties did not treat themselves as ancestors to pay tribute, this Liu Bei was so bold that he dared to openly reprimand him!

At this moment, Liu Bei was about to walk out, and Qian Jin shouted outside: "Take him down for me!! ”

Outside the door were the fifty county soldiers he brought from the county, and after hearing Qian Jin's shout, these county soldiers quickly formed a formation and blocked Liu Bei in the house.

Liu Bei looked at the county soldiers in front of him, turned his head to look at Qian Jin, and smiled disdainfully.

Hu Yun, the county magistrate, didn't expect things to develop to such a point, he knelt down in front of Qian Jin and begged bitterly: "Qian Duyou, you have a lot of adults, just let Xuande go, how much money do you want, I'll pay for him!" ”

Qian Jin looked at Hu Yun who was kneeling on the ground with contempt in his eyes and said with a sneer: "It's late, now I don't want money, what I want is his life!" ”

Hu Yun still wanted to say something, Qian Jin glared and said: "Hu Yun, you have to make noise, I will arrest you together!" ”

Hu Yun had no choice but to close his mouth with a pale face.

At the door, Liu Bei had already exchanged hands with these county soldiers, he took advantage of the terrain of the door, snatched a gun from the county soldiers, and broke the head of the gun, although he was angry, but he didn't want to make a fuss.

So Liu Bei used the barrel of the gun as a stick and stood in a ball with these county soldiers, the screams kept ringing, and the county soldiers kept falling, and then these county soldiers found that the man standing in front of them was a man who had experienced several bloody battles.

Seeing that half of the county soldiers were knocked to the ground, the rest of the county soldiers glanced at each other, and they all saw the panic in each other's eyes.

Liu Bei took a step forward contemptuously, and these county soldiers took a step back in fright.

Qian Jin was in the house, he didn't know what was going on outside, he could only hear the constant sound of fighting outside, and at this moment he stood up a little impatiently and muttered: "This group of waste, does it take so long to take a person?" ”

Qian Jin's face was hideous, he wanted to see what was going on in person, but as soon as he took a step, he couldn't move, Qian Jin turned around and found that it was Hu Yun who had stood up and grabbed him at some point.

Qian Jin frowned, he knew that this Hu Yun was a timid and afraid person, but what happened today made Qian Jin feel that this Hu Yun was a little abnormal, Qian Jin said angrily: "Hu County Order, what are you going to do?" Do you still want to cover up this guy? ”

Hu Yun's body was already shaking at this moment, he thought that Liu Bei would give some money today, and the matter would pass, but he never expected Liu Bei to be so resolute, not only did he not give money to bribe, but also loudly reprimanded the high-ranking officials in this county. Hu Yun knew that although Liu Bei looked approachable on weekdays, once he was really angry, the fifty county soldiers at the gate were really not enough, and he also had two righteous brothers who were like monsters. Hu Yun thought of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers, and his body trembled involuntarily, if those two people came, then the money would have to stay here.

Thinking of this, he forcibly held back his fear and grabbed Qian Jin and said to Qian Jin: "Qian Dupost, run away!" ”

"What?" Qian Jin thought that this Hu Yun was joking with himself, so he shook Hu Yun's hand away and said: "I have fifty elite county soldiers, and I am the confidant of the county guard Zhang Chun, you let me run?" Are you funny? ”

While Qian Jin was chattering, he didn't notice that Hu Yun's eyes had changed, and Hu Yun looked behind Qian Jin in horror.

"You fat man, you should really listen to Hu County's order!!"

This sound like thunder sounded behind Qian Jin, almost scaring Qian Jin, Qian Jin turned around angrily, and just as he was about to speak, a pair of big hands grabbed his neck, making him unable to open his mouth at all.

The big hand lifted up and lifted Qian Jin's whole person, Qian Jin's whole face was red, and what met his eyes was a black-faced man with a leopard head and ringed eyes.

This black-faced man is Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei drank a few glasses of stuffy wine that day, rode by the county ya, and happened to see fifty or sixty old people, kneeling in front of the county yamen and crying bitterly. Zhang Fei was puzzled and stepped forward to ask, it didn't matter, it almost blew up Zhang Fei's lungs.

It turned out that these old men told him that the superintendent had summoned Liu Gong, but he didn't know what was going on but started fighting. I waited here and pleaded, but the guards at the door would not let us in.

After Zhang Fei found out, he was really angry, first knocked down the two county soldiers guarding the door, and happened to see Liu Bei fighting with the county soldiers, Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was very easy to fight these county soldiers, so he went straight into the lobby. That's where we are now.

At this moment, Zhang Fei pulled Qian Jin in front of his eyes, looked at it and said, "You fat people, you are really annoying!" Dong Zhuo is like this, and so are you! ”

Hu Yun looked at Qian Jin's expression that was about to die, and said in a pale tone and cowardly: "Third master, Qian Duyou is an official of the imperial court after all, you let him go!" ”

Zhang Fei showed a smile to Hu Yun and said, "Okay, since Hu County has ordered you to speak, then I will let him go!" ”

Zhang Fei said that, and threw the money into his entire fat body,

"Boom!"

Qian Jin's fat body smashed through the wall of Xia Ya, and he went to the street in embarrassment.

After Qian Jin was thrown out by Zhang Fei, Liu Bei ran over in a panic, when he confronted those county soldiers, he saw Zhang Fei, he didn't expect Zhang Fei to come straight to Qian Jin, he was afraid that Zhang Fei's brain would be hot and kill Qian Jin again, so after Zhang Fei entered the house, he also hurriedly followed.

At this moment, after Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother, are you okay!" ”

Liu Bei shook his head, except for a few scratches on his clothes, there was nothing else on his body, Liu Bei was more worried about Qian Jin now, so he hurriedly ran to the street.

Hey, don't say it, fat people have fat fortune, after this Qian Jin was thrown out by Zhang Fei, although he looked a little embarrassed, but it was not a big deal, at the moment this Qian Jin was swaying left and right on the street and running.

Qian Jin is really scared now, he is afraid that the black-faced man will really kill him, he just wants to return to Zhongshan County as soon as possible.

However, he hadn't taken two steps yet, Guan Yu, who was wearing a green robe and long beard, blocked his way with Spring and Autumn in his hand, Guan Yu didn't speak, but Qian Jin's whole person was like a lightning strike, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to go back, but there were indeed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei behind.

Qian Jin fell to his knees, and he begged loudly: "Grandpa spare your life, it's a little blind who doesn't know Mount Tai!" ”

Qian Jin kept repeating this sentence, and then raised his hand to keep giving himself a big mouth.

At this time, Zhang Fei pulled out a wicker out of nowhere, and walked quickly to Qian Jin's side, Zhang Fei's every swing was accompanied by Qian Jin's miserable howl like killing a pig.

Liu Bei watched this scene quietly, and after a long time, he sighed, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Fei's sleeve.

Zhang Fei stopped, Guan Yu also came behind Liu Bei at this moment, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have made a lot of great achievements in the crusade against the Yellow Turban, and I only got the position of county lieutenant." Now he has been insulted by this superintendent. The younger brother thought that in the thorny bushes, it was not a place for the phoenix; We might as well kill him, abandon the official and return to his hometown, and don't try to make ambitious plans. ”

When Qian Jin heard Guan Yu's words, he was so frightened that he kept kowtowing, and wailed with tears and snot: "County Lieutenant Liu, I was wrong, don't kill me!" ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything for a long time, Guan Yu was right, now that the government is in chaos, it is still difficult for him to protect himself in this officialdom, how can he help the Han family and save the people of Li from fire and water!

Liu Bei thought of this, took out the county lieutenant's seal, hung the seal letter on Qian Jin's neck, and said in a deep voice: "You dog thief, you should have killed you with a knife." Now spare your life. I will return the imperial court seal to you, and I will have an explanation. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he ordered someone to give Qian Jin for treatment, and then the three brothers returned to their residence, packed their bags, and left Anxi County with twenty dead soldiers.

Anxi County ordered Hu Yun to send off the people of the city.
