Chen Lin bought back more than 7,000 captives captured in Shen County, and returned to Anyang County to be scolded by the old lady. Now the Chen family is conspicuous enough in Runan, and the entire Anyang County has almost become the Chen family's industry, except for the Zhang family, which has been married, other large and small clans in Anyang County have been forced to move out of Anyang. Now Chen Lin has actually brought back more than 7,000 slaves, and the entire Anyang County has only 4,000 households and a population of 20,000, so the Chen family accounts for most of them. The old lady shouted loudly, which made Chen Lin feel ashamed.

In the end, these people were resettled in villages that had been developed in the east of the city two years ago, and continued to open up and expand the land. The old lady was even more ruthless, anyway, he did it without doing it, and simply let Chen Lin build a city wall in this village comparable to a small county town, but it was a little shorter than a normal county seat. Therefore, the densely populated area of a city and a village is protected in this way, and outside the wall is an endless fertile field, and Chen Lin selects a thousand young people to patrol day and night, wearing armor and holding strong, just like a county town. For this reason, Chen Lin sent money to He Jin, and visited Lord Zhao Qian Taishou, so as not to cause a big disaster.

Chen Lin was also grounded by the old lady and was not allowed to leave Anyang County, Chen Lin has been tossing around all these years, and the Chen family's finances are a little unable to make ends meet, and they can't make any more trouble.

In addition, in Jizhou Julu, Hebei, the Taiping Sect led by Zhang Jiao has begun to take shape after five or six years of development, either secretly or openly, and has sent heroes from all walks of life to serve as missionaries and preside over religious affairs, and continue to expand the influence of the Taiping Sect. A member of the Yellow Turban, a handsome man named Peng Tuo, led the think tank Huang Shao, and his cronies Liu Pigong to quietly sneak into Runan County when Chen Lin killed Wang Sheng in Shen County. During the two months that Chen Lin settled and took prisoners, Peng Tuo surrendered the bandits He Yi and He Man brothers in Runan County, forming an unknown force in the northern part of Runan.

Runan County is a flat river, the land is fertile, although there are some deep mountains and wild forests, but it does not hinder the momentum of Runan County to become the first county of the Han Dynasty, coupled with the Taishou Zhao Qian to slow down the government and lenien the people, although there is not much to do, but there is no great harm to the people, in recent years, people have fled to Runan from time to time, and now the population of Runan has increased dramatically. The traffic between Runan County and other places is not so convenient, the south does not pass through Jingzhou, to the west through the narrow mountain road and the south of Nanyang, to the north is also to cross the mountain forest to Yingchuan County, the east is separated by the Dabie Mountain in the south, the north has to cross the water to pass through the Huainan Jiujiang County, as for the northeast direction of the county, Chen Guo, Liang Guo and so on is even more rugged and difficult. If such an environment is in turmoil, it will definitely be a place for everyone to fight, and it can be described as a blessed land and a disaster land.

On this day, Chen Lin inspected his own grange in the countryside, and this year the Chen family's fields have a lot more, but the sky is not beautiful, and it seems that the harvest is not very ideal. Suddenly, Chen Lin saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and it was clear that there were many tenant farmers of their own families, who were raising their heads to listen to the words of the man standing on the stone. The man was dressed in a yellow robe, but he did not wear a hat, and he held a nine-section scepter, and muttered a whisper in his mouth. Behind him, there are two small Taoist children, one of whom carries a medical box on his shoulder and a charm in his hand. The other person is holding a nine-hole bamboo Xiao, the rhythm of the sound does not fluctuate much, the lines are stable, solemn, and quiet, Chen Lin listens like a clear and void realm.

I only heard the man saying: "Huang Tian is the supreme god, and the yellow god opens the world and opens the world." All beings believe in the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, and the time of the Yellow Emperor is the time of peace, there is no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold and disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone is born equal......"

The people who were listening were all yearning, and Chen Lin saw that the Taoist ordered the Taoist boy to burn talismans and turn water into water, and he wanted to give it to the people to drink, saying that it could drive away all kinds of diseases and demons. When Chen Lin saw it, he suspected that it was the Taiping Sect. Although Chen Lin was tied up by Zhang Fan, he didn't hold a grudge, but now the Taiping Sect actually came to Runan to bewitch the tenant farmers of the Chen family, and said something about how everyone is equal, even if Chen Lin is so heroic and kind to people, he can't help but shout: "Shut up, Hugh has to fool the ignorant again, and come out with such a reckless remark that there is no king and no father." Chen Lin was furious: "Zhou Cang, capture this person who confuses the crowd." ”

Zhou Cang had to order the right hand to carry the knife, and with the left hand, he grabbed the clothes on the Taoist's chest, and lifted it up, and the whole person was lifted up by Zhou Cang, kicking his hands and feet, and his mouth was silent, and a guard stepped forward to escort the child. Chen Lin turned to the panicked tenant farmers and said, "Seeing that the harvest is imminent, if everyone is industrious this year, each person will get an extra stone of grain when distributing grain, and if you listen to people's gossip here, you will be driven out of the Chen family." "In these years, eating is more important than anything else, everyone listened to Chen Lin say this, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, a stone of grain can be more than two months of porridge to drink, don't listen to these Taoist nonsense in the future, make the eldest young master unhappy, drive out of the Chen family, really helpless, how should the family live.

Seeing this, Chen Lin found out the secret road early, and the Taiping Road was not long here, so it seems that he has to take precautions. Chen Lin hurriedly got back on his horse and said to Zhou Cang, "Take these three people back to Chenjiabao." Chen Lin and the others flew back to find Grandpa to discuss the matter.

Chen Lin rushed back to Chenjiabao and hurriedly talked to Grandpa about it, and the old lady looked calm: "Bo Zhi thinks what to do?" Chen Lin: "But a preacher came to Anyang and secretly killed him." Explain the dangers of the Taiping Sect to Zhao Taishou, and it is best to report it to the imperial court and severely punish the Taiping Sect. ”

The old lady looked at Chen Lin and thought to himself, he was still too young: "There are countless people who are capable of the Han Dynasty, and many of them are high-ranking and powerful, why can the Taiping Sect still develop safely, do you think that these people can't see the harm of the Taiping Sect?" The Son of Heaven is weak, the eunuchs are in power, and as a courtier, he is both willing and powerless. Bozhi, Anyang is already a public voyeur in Runan County, and the Chen family should be low-key and protect themselves. ”

Chen Lin has nothing difficult to accept what Grandpa said, and now Chen Lin is no longer the ignorant teenager who doesn't know how to think. In the end, Chen Lin only secretly ordered the guards, and sent people to run horses around Anyang every day, but some people who said "Taiping Dao, charms" were secretly captured and imprisoned under Chenjiabao. For these people, Chen Lin did not interrogate or kill, but just locked up, and when he delivered food every day, he asked: "Are you willing to do things with the Chen family?" This plan was the old lady's idea, and the old lady's original words to Chen Lin were: "These people are sharp and eloquent, and if they can be subdued, they will be sent to the Quartet in the future to publicize the merits of Bozhi, which is an excellent way to spread fame." ”

Chen Lin personally went to meet Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, and the two sat down, Chen Lin: "Lord Taishou, now there is a force secretly circulating in my Runan, using Shi Fu to cure the disease as a means to gather strength, you can't do it." Zhao Qian smiled: "Bo Zhi can have such a heart of worrying about the country and the people, it is very good, presumably what Bo Zhi said is the way to persuade people to do good in Runan County recently, but Bo Zhi is too worried." Western Buddhism came to my Han to preach doctrines, how could the Han have no Taoism, and this Taiping Tao is to appease the displaced people, cure the sick and relieve the disaster, and do good deeds, so I am too worried. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lin already had no hope for the purpose of this trip, and thought that he was expected by Grandpa again. Chen Lin talked to Zhao Qian about this year's grain harvest, the harvest was not good, and he hoped that Lord Taishou could exempt some taxes, how could Zhao Qian embarrass Chen Lin in this kind of thing, and with a stroke of the pen, Anyang County is only allowed to hand over half of the grain this year. Chen Lin has a plan in his heart, the situation in Dahan is becoming more and more uncertain, and Chen Lin has slowly understood what Grandpa said about the chaos in the world. Chen Lin wants to speed up the pace of hoarding grain, and he also has to refine an elite army to protect the Chen family's foundation, and no one wants to touch the Chen family.

Peng Tuo has been full of spring breeze in the past two months, first of all, he was favored by the great sage and good teacher, and was ordered to be the little handsome of the Runan realm, although he was controlled by Zhang Fan and Zhang Mancheng, the disciple of the great sage and good teacher. However, he is also one of the eight commanders of Taiping Dao, responsible for the affairs of a place, and led 30 sectarians to Runan in less than half a year, and has already developed more than 3,000 loyal sectarians, and even subdued the famous He family brothers in Runan. It is said that in the southern part of Runan County, there is also a group of savages called Sandao Lingqiang, and Peng Tuo began to send people to contact these three swords. If you know each other, it is not difficult to become a small leader like the He brothers, if you don't know each other, hum.

When Peng Tuo was imagining a bright future, a member of the sect came to report: "Report Xiaoshuai, the Taoist friends sent to the south by the sect have lost contact with four people in a row. Peng Tuo was startled and grabbed the reporter's clothes: "What, losing contact with four people in a row?" Where does it last appear? ”

The man saw Peng Tuo's anger, and he was afraid in his heart, this Peng Shuai's methods were ruthless, and he fell into his hands, and he didn't die and shed his skin, and hurriedly said: "The four of them are all in the direction of Savage Ridge, and there are Taoist friends who lobby Savage Ridge, it has been seven or eight days, and there is no news." Peng Tuo thought for a while and said, "Go and call the two leaders of He Man and He Yi to come and see them" The little disciple ran out in a panic.

After a while, the brothers of the He family came: "Meet Peng Shuai" Peng Tuo: "Well, I called the two of you here today but I want to know how the savage has passed three swords?" ”

The brothers of the He family glanced at each other, and He Yi said: "Yu Peng Shuai, although a certain and that three knives are doing business in Runan County, but the two brothers are in the north and he is in the south, and they have never had any contacts or festivals. I don't know much about this, I have only heard of three knives, this person is ruthless, and the county lieutenant of Anyang County was defeated a few years ago, and he also took the head, so the reputation of the three knives has risen, and many heroes from all walks of life have taken refuge, and the counties around Savage Ridge have heard three knives and are frightened, and they dare not compete with it. If it weren't for the fact that King Gepo was born against the Han Dynasty and his reputation overshadowed the three swords, I am afraid that he only knew the three swords and did not know anything else. ”

Peng Tuo's eyes were round, and he shined again: "Have you killed the county lieutenant with three knives?" Affirmed by the He brothers, Peng Tuohahaha laughed: "Hahaha, this person has the ability and courage, such a hero, how can he not contribute to my Taiping cause." The Taoist friends who want to come and go to preach are captured by the three swords, but all heroes always have some tempers, and how can they easily greet them, so they have to go and see the heroes in person. It is reported that Yingchuan Boshuai and Nanyang Dashuai have done well in the two places, and my Runan sect members can't lose face, so that the Taoist friends in the sect look down on them, and miss the great sage and good teacher. ”
