The administrative system of Zhao State is the same as that of Han and Wei, with counties on the borders of the country and counties directly under the jurisdiction of the capital in the interior. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Handan City is very large and has a large population, with 30,000 households and more than 100,000 people, each square residential area divided by the main street can be counted as a township, and each alley is set up with a li, which is named in the order of A, B, C, and D in the order of east and west.

Among them, the ranger Lu Jujian's family lives in Bingli, Jiaxiang Township, east of the city.

There are probably more than 100 families living in this small area, which are connected to each other in a row of alleys, not very neatly arranged, and the roads are muddy and potholes, and most of the residents here are engaged in industry and commerce, relying on the opportunity to eat, and those who do not do their jobs become rangers.

Among the rangers in Bingli, this Jiaxiang is the most famous for Lu Jujian. Because although he is not very old, he likes to act chivalrous and righteous, and when he sees injustice, he draws his sword, and he has also been involved in a lawsuit for this, and was arrested and interrogated by the priest and the judge, but because no one died, it was fine. On the contrary, as soon as he walked out of the Handan City prison, others looked at him differently, either fearful or respectful.

But not everyone obeys Lu Jujian, in Jiali next door, a ranger named Chen Ji often fights against him, because this person is older, and he has also taken refuge in a guest under the Pingyuan Jun for a period of time, and he also has some prestige.

The two of them are equivalent to the ranger leaders of this township, and there is nothing the three elders of the township and the elders of the village can do with them. In the past, the two of them were considered to be well water and did not interfere with river water, but now that Lu Jujian is gone, there are no tigers in the mountains, and this Chen Ji and this monkey will be the king.

He crossed the dividing line of power, a well in the middle of the two miles, and ran to Bingli, walking from the north gate to the south gate, and from the south gate back to the north gate, as if he were patrolling his territory. also took away a few dates from this family, and a bowl of slurry water from that family, as if he was the boss of Bingli.

The households in the middle didn't dare to provoke this scoundrel, and they all sighed, in the future, there will be no more reckless sentences.

When it was nearly dusk, Chen Ji had already filled his belly, holding a broken sword, with his abdomen open, sitting on the edge of the inner door, boasting about his heroic deeds to the newly accepted younger brothers, and by the way, slandering Lu Jujian's "stupidity".

"That Chang Anjun looks like a young and weak son, who is stingy and stingy, and can't give the ranger a little money and silk, but he wants us to work hard, it's a joke!"

Chen Ji plucked his ears and showed off:

"I was also a doorman in the Plains Jun, and the ranger predecessors in the doorman told me that people in the world are made friends according to the method of market transactions, and if the feudal monarch is powerful, we will follow, and if the feudal monarch has no power, we will leave, which is a truth that everyone knows. So that day, I saw that Chang'anjun was not enough to conspire with him, so I left, but Lu Jujian's stupid goose still wanted to take refuge, and even ignored his own mother, you said, is this a fool! ”

Those ranger teenagers who usually messed with Chen Ji said yes again and again, and there were also a few who had a good relationship with Lu Jujian before who were silent, muttering that Lu Jujian was a real man who was a heavy promise.

Chen Ji was furious, kicked the young man to the ground, and scolded: "You mean, Naigong is not a big husband? Didn't you save that day until the end, why didn't you go with Lu Jujian this morning? ”

The young man said sneeringly: "My father said that I was the only son in the family, and if I died, the family would be the last child, and besides, Chang'anjun didn't promise Yulu, so he didn't let me go to ......."

"It's right not to go."

Chen Ji was triumphant and said firmly: "I dare to say that after half a year of Nalu Jujian, he will come back poor and poor, and he won't earn anything!" ”

At this moment, an unkempt ranger rushed back and shouted, "Come, come, come back!" ”

Chen Ji raised his sword scabbard and pointed it at his head, and scolded: "What's coming, who's coming?" ”

The young ranger's face was full of excitement, rubbing the sore spots, and he said inarticulately: "It's Lu Jujian, Lu Jujian is back!" ”

……

"Lu Jujian?"

Chen Ji and everyone were stunned, he scratched his head and said: "Nalu Jujian clearly said that this time I went to Qi Country, at least in March, at most in half a year, how could I come back......

As if thinking of something, he clapped his hands and laughed: "It must be Lu Jujian who went to see that Chang Anjun, received a cold reception, and came back in a gloomy manner!" ”

He immediately recruited friends, and a group of people lined up by the inner door, with their hands on their waists, wanting to see Lu Jujian's jokes.

At this time, just when the meal arrived, the pedestrians on the street were already a little sparse, and with the sound of horses' hooves, a Wu Ben wearing black clothes of fine kudzu cloth, wearing a blue cloth, a gorgeous belt around his waist, and a three-foot sword appeared in front of the inner door.

He was holding a fiery red horse in his hand, looking at the high erected ears and sturdy limbs, it was actually the famous "substitute horse" of Zhao State......

Chen Ji and the young man in the middle of the house were dumbfounded, because that warrior was Lu Jujian!

"This ...... It's ......"

Chen Ji felt incredible, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at it again, yes, it was Lu Jujian, his face was still that simple face, and there was a dark beard around his mouth, but the outfit on his body had completely changed!

He clearly remembered that when Lu Jujian left with his wife on his back in the morning, he was still wearing a set of ill-fitting clothes, and it was only half a day, how could he come back with fresh clothes and anger?

And there was a cart behind it, which was loaded with a lot of grain, meat, and vegetables that had just been bought, and the one sitting on it was clearly Lu Jujian's mother, but the old woman didn't have the sad face when she was carried away by her son in the morning, but smiled.

Looking further back, it was Lu Jujian's relatives in the north of the city, those Kun father brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews followed a long list, tending to the side of the car, accompanied by smiling faces, and constantly saying good things to Lu's mother......

For a while, Chen Ji and the others were stunned.

Seeing Chen Ji with a group of people blocking the inner door from a distance, Lu Jujian's face sank, strode over, and scolded: "Chen Ji, what do you want!?" ”

On weekdays, Chen Ji must have pressed the sword to meet him, blushing and colliding with Lu Jujian, but looking at Lu Jujian in a very different outfit today, he lost his courage, if he remembers correctly, the ranger predecessor who taught him "life experience" and was a guest in the Plains Monarch's Mansion did not have this treatment......

Chen Ji swallowed his saliva, and when he turned around, he found that the young rangers who followed him had retreated to both sides, and they didn't dare to come out, looking at Lu Jujian in awe.

He had no choice but to flash aside, squeeze out a smiling face, leaned over to Lu Jujian and asked, "Lu Ji, ...... are you?"

Lu Jujian is the youngest son in the family, and his two elder brothers died in the epidemic more than ten years ago, so everyone calls him "Lu Ji" on weekdays.

Seeing that it was Chen Ji, Lu Jujian didn't have a good face, and sneered: "Didn't I go to serve Chang'anjun, Chang'anjun saw ten of us, praised us for our words and letters, and accepted us as guests, in order to encourage us, but also gave us good clothes, good horses, swords, plus fertile fields, and a number of money and silk, so that I don't have to let my mother live in a relative's house." ”

Chen Ji was shocked: "Is this true? ”

"Of course it's true."

The soap-clothed little official who accompanied Lu Jujian back was Li Tan, and he stood up and testified: "Chang'anjun also praised Lu Ji and the other nine strong men as chivalrous men who served the country and the people. ”

"The great man of chivalry for the country and the people......" Chen Ji and the young people in the middle school pondered this extremely heavy sentence, envious, and were called heroes, isn't this their highest pursuit of being a ranger.

Unexpectedly, Li Tan raised his eyebrows, and said: "Not only that, Chang'an Jun also formally requested the Queen Mother to let ten of them be his cronies and guards, since then, they are not ordinary households, but officials with official titles. ”

Everyone was shocked again, although they were only a hundred stone officials, they were ten times stronger than them, the nameless and pointless scoundrels, not to mention that Lu Jujian's name had been passed on to the Queen Mother and the King through Chang'anjun? It was a height that no one dared to imagine......

For a while, more than a dozen ranger teenagers at the gate bowed down to Lu Jujian, and in their eyes, Lu Jujian was already a real high-ranking official!

At this time, Lu Jujian was a little shy, and hurriedly went over to help the neighboring teenagers.

Chen Ji has seen the world anyway, although his legs are a little soft, he didn't bend down, but just retreated with a weak heart.

At this time, Lu Jujian also remembered that when he left in the morning, Chen Ji was sneering at the inner door, and immediately turned around and scolded him: "You are from Jiali, what are you doing here, don't get out of here!" Hugh wants me to see you again! “

At this time, Chen Ji's group of younger brothers had no one to follow him, but followed Lu Jujian in a hurry, leaving Chen Ji alone in the wind at the inner door, in the face of Lu Jujian's reprimand, he didn't dare to resist, so he retreated and went home in disgrace.

As Chen Ji walked, he looked back at Lu Jujian, who was hugging the freshly clothed angry horse, and then looked down at his ugly clothes and broken sword, alone. Compared with the two, Chen Ji only felt that he had lived to a dog for half his life, and he regretted not following Chang Anjun......

The ridicule of Lu Jujian in the morning was still on his lips, but in the end, he became the biggest laughing stock on the street......

"How did I know that Chang'an Jun treats people so kindly!" Chen Ji left in despair, and now his intestines are about to repent.

……

After humiliating the scoundrel Chen Ji and driving him away, Lu Jujian and Li Tan led their horses into the inner door.

Their group of people was quite powerful, and the elders in Li, and even the three elders of the township who were in charge of this street were all alarmed.

After asking the reason, after learning that Lu Jujian really climbed the high branch of Chang'anjun, the three elders of the township and the elders of the village greeted him, and a large group of people walked towards the middle of the house lively.

The neighbors in the neighborhood opened the door curiously, amazed and amazed by Lu Jujian's "return to the hometown", and felt that he was promising.

And Chang'anjun's reputation and the phrase "the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people" also spread in this street and alley......
