Chapter 034: County Lieutenant Chen Palace

After Chen Qun returned to the resting place where Li Long and the others were resting, he looked at Li Long: "Brother Li Long, do any of you know who the county lieutenant of Zhending City is?" ”

Li Long and the others shook their heads when they heard this, and Chen Qun had to wait for Zhao Cheng to return.

It wasn't until late at night that Zhao Cheng came to where Liu Bei and the others were: "Dongjia, the matter doesn't seem to be very serious!" Zhao Yun was locked up in the county government and was not pressed to a cell. ”

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "Then have you ever heard what the name of the county lieutenant is?" ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head; "Boss, I really don't care about this, but I heard that the county lieutenant is ordering someone to check the county office's account books overnight."

Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "Are we too allergic?" This county order may not have framed my master. ”

"But it was indeed he who sent someone to arrest Zhao Yun! And it was said that Zhao Yun was corrupt and perverted the law, and the villagers who worked in Zhao Yun's house said so. Zhao Cheng affirmed.

Chen Qun nodded: "I know what you said is true, but this county order should not be a false accusation against my master, and the fact that he can order someone to check the accounts overnight means that he wants to see if my master is corrupt and perverts the law." Coupled with the fact that we did not encounter any obstruction when we left during the day, I think we probably misunderstood this prefectural order, and maybe my master will be released after dawn. ”

Zhao Cheng, Li Long and the others all nodded when they heard this, they saw that this was indeed the case with their years of experience in the secret passage.

Seeing this, Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "Okay, since everyone agrees with my speculation, then we will return to Zhending City." Then Brother Zhao Cheng took me to sneak into the county government to see the situation. ”

"Good!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and everyone rode back to Zhending City again.

After returning to Zhending City, everyone did not live in a wine store anymore, but all hid in Zhao Cheng's house, and Zhao Cheng took Chen Qun to sneak into the city lord's mansion.

In the city lord's mansion court, Chen Qun saw Zhao Yun sitting on a chair, and next to him sat a well-dressed county lieutenant. This county lieutenant has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he doesn't look like a bad person. In addition, three civilian staff members were looking through the ledgers with a lamp on the side. Chen Qun and Zhao Cheng hid in the dark to watch.

An hour later, the three scribes closed the account book and hugged their fists at the county lieutenant and said: "My lord, all income and expenditure are normal, Zhao Zhutou is not corrupt and bends the law, what Zhao Zhutou said should be true." ”

"Good! It's hard work! Go down and rest. The county lieutenant nodded.

After the three scribes left, the county lieutenant got up and came to Zhao Yun and hugged his fist and saluted; "Zhao Zhutou, it's not that the lower officials want to be embarrassed to catch the head, Zhao Zhutou's Qingming officials naturally know it, but Zhao Zhutou's big actions at home these days, the people of the entire Zhengding County already know, many people are privately saying that Zhao Zhutou is greedy and bent the law to be so rich, and the county order is completely for Zhao Zhutou's reputation, and I hope Zhao Zhutou understands. The county believes that in this way, it will definitely block the mouths of those people and return Zhao to the first innocent. Zhengding County is inseparable from Zhao Zhutou. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he got up and saluted the county lieutenant; "Chen County Order is so polite! Xia Guan believes in the character and official character of Chen County Order, and also understands the purpose of Chen County Order's doing this, and thanks Chen County Order for being a good official. ”

"Hahaha......! It seems that this county order and Zhao Zhutou are heart-to-heart! Good! That's great! Zhao Zhutou was able to take Yingchuan Chen Qun as an apprentice, which is really gratifying! For Chen Qun, the county still knows something. Chen Xianling said with a smile.

Zhao Yun hugged his fists when he heard this: "I want to hear about it." ”

Chen Xianling invited Zhao Yun to sit down and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhutou doesn't know, although your apprentice is unknown in Zhending, but he is in the Luoyang area, but he is a well-known hero, and he is also a red man in the eyes of His Majesty, and the layout of Taiping Dao in the Luoyang area was all disintegrated by him!" It is not an exaggeration to say that he saved the Han River! ”

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this: "Ao? Does he still have such a past? Xia Guan really didn't know that Xia Guan accepted him as an apprentice for another reason, because he was a kind-hearted person, and he would shed tears. In my opinion, if a child of a family can be kind-hearted and shed tears, then his essence is not bad. ”

Chen Xianling nodded: "I didn't expect Zhao Zhutou's observation power to be so powerful!" Chen Qun is indeed a kind-hearted person. Do you know? He dismantled the arrangement of Taiping Dao in the Luoyang area, and when His Majesty wanted to reward him, he said that he did not want any reward, and only asked for the family members of Taiping Dao to be released. and angered His Majesty because of this, and ruined a good future for no reason. ”

Zhao Yun smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha......, he still has such a past!" It's amazing! Looks like I would have made a good choice to take him as an apprentice. Do you know why he came to Jizhou? ”

Chen Xianling nodded: "This is very simple, the Chen family is good friends with Lu Zhi, and he was able to dismantle the layout of Taiping Road in Luoyang before, all thanks to Lu Zhi's help, so this time Lu Zhi led the army to conquer the Yellow Turban Army rebellion in Jizhou, he naturally came to help, presumably he heard about your strong martial arts, so he came to learn the arts." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head slightly: "Lord Chen is really powerful!" Although he is an official in this small Zhending county, he knows everything about what happened in Beijing, and the officials admire it! I wonder if you want to meet my apprentice? ”

Chen Qun listened to Zhao Yun's words, and he sighed that Zhao Yun said what he thought in his heart, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he instantly had the idea of running away.

Chen Xianling smiled when he heard this: "Of course, a young man like your apprentice, of course I want to see it." ”

Zhao Yun nodded: "Changwen, how long do you plan to hide with Zhao Cheng?" I haven't come out to see County Lieutenant Chen yet. ”

Chen Xianling stood up in shock when he heard this.

Chen Qun had no choice but to come out of the dark with Zhao Cheng, and after Chen Qun came to the lobby, he stepped forward to salute Chen Xianling; "Yingchuan Chen Qun has seen Chen County Order."

"No courtesy, no courtesy! Distinguished guests! A few days ago, I only heard that Zhao Zhutou accepted an apprentice, but I never knew that it was you! If I had known it was you, I would have visited! I only found out today. Chen County Ling said with a smile after helping Chen Qun up.

Chen Qun also looked at Chen Xianling and smiled: "What my master said just now is actually what I said in my heart, Chen Xianling knew at a glance that he was definitely not an ordinary person, why would he only be a county magistrate in this Zhending City?" ”

Chen Xianling smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha......, you are too high!" Under is Yanzhou Chen Palace, Zigongtai. If you can understand the news in Luoyang, you will be told by your friends below, otherwise you will know so much news. ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out to be Chen Gong! That's not surprising at all! Chen Qun was very surprised that Chen Gong had eyeliner in Luoyang City, the wise men of this era really can't wait to take it lightly, their vision and heart are really lofty.

Chen Qun looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the big brother of Gongtai!" If I had known that the county order of this Zhending county town was the eldest brother of Gongtai, then the younger brother would not have to spend so much trouble and come to see you directly, the eldest brother of Gongtai is a very honest and good official. ”

Chen Gong smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha......, today I have to report that after you left Zhending City, I still despised you fiercely in my heart!" I didn't think you left Zhending County to confuse me! I'm laughing to death! ”

"Hahaha...... Brother Gongtai, don't we know each other if we don't fight! Chen Qun also smiled.

Zhao Yun then got up and said, "My lord, it's not early today, let's rest early!" I really can't stand the compliments between you literati. ”

"Report! Oh no, my lord! Thousands of Yellow Turban troops appeared outside the city! ”

Before Chen Gong and Chen Qun could answer Zhao Yun's words, they heard the official quickly run in to report.

Hearing this, Chen Gong nodded and said, "Got it, let's go down." ”

After the official left, Chen Gong sneered: "The nose of this Taiping Dao thief is really spiritual, I just invited Zhao Zhutou to the Yamen, and they came to Zhending City, it seems that they are afraid of Zhao Zhutou!" As soon as he heard that Zhao Zhutou was killed, he came to steal the city. ”

After Chen Gong finished speaking, no one laughed, because Chen Qun and the others knew what it meant for thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers to come to the city.

Chen Qun frowned and looked at Chen Gong: "Brother Gongtai, if you think there must be the eyeliner of the Yellow Turban Army in this Zhending City, if we don't find these eyeliners, even if we beat the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, it will be useless, and there will be more Yellow Turban Army next time." ”

Chen Gong waved his hand: "It's useless!" Now the Yellow Turban thieves are in full swing, not to mention ordinary people, even if many officials in the imperial court have abandoned their officials and fled. Even if we find out the current inner line, if we can't ensure the absolute safety of Zhending City, there will still be many people who act as the eyes of the thieves. What we need to do now is to defeat the Yellow Turban Army outside the city as soon as possible and reassure the people in the city. Zhao Zhutou, you will return to your original position. It's hard for you to take the white horse to defend the city. After dawn, I will have the officials of the yamen replace you. ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Zhao Yun clasped his fist at Chen Gong and saluted before turning around and leaving.

After Zhao Yun left, Chen Qun looked at Chen Gong and frowned, "Brother Gongtai, how many soldiers and horses do we have in this city?" ”

Chen Gong looked at Chen Qun's eyes and smiled: "Three hundred white horse servants, and fifty other servants, except for the ten of you, of course." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun frowned and looked at Chen Gong: "Such a soldier? So how do we resist the Yellow Turban Army siege outside the city? ”

Chen Gong smiled when he heard this: "They don't dare to attack the city!" Don't look at the large number of the Yellow Turban Army, but most of them are from ordinary people, let them be sent to death, few people dare. And with Zhao Yun here, they can't attack it, as long as Zhao Yun is willing, I believe in killing them all by himself. ”

"Ahem, cough ......" Chen Qun coughed directly when he heard this, he didn't expect Chen Gong to trust Zhao Yun's force so much, and he also understood why Chen Gong in history would give up Cao Cao and defect to Lu Bu, thinking that it was because Zhao Yun's force gave him too much shock, and Lu Bu's force was almost the same as Zhao Yun's, so Chen Gong would choose like that. But Chen Gong ignored one point, Zhao Yun's wisdom was much higher than Lu Bu's!

Chen Gong saw that Chen Qun didn't believe his words, so he smiled and said, "Look at it!" You'll know how powerful your master's martial arts really are! I even once thought that Zhao Zhutou was the most superb martial artist in the world. ”

Chen Qun nodded and smiled: "Of course! How could I doubt my master's force! I also believe that the Yellow Turbans will not be able to attack them, but what if they increase their troops? ”

Chen Gong nodded; "This has to be guarded against, then let Zhao Yun give them some hope, let them feel that they can break through Zhending City, but they are always a little bit close, and then they are not willing to leave. When General Lu Zhi wins the battle in the south, these people will naturally withdraw, and we don't have to worry about the Yellow Turban Army coming to attack again. ”

Chen Qun looked at Chen Gong in astonishment when he heard this, this Chen Gongtai is really a wise person, but unfortunately his life is not good, Zhao Yun who contacted Zhao Yun first and then Lu Bu lost his life with Lu Bu in vain. But Chen Qun knew that he didn't have much to say at this time, and he would wait to see the situation later.
