Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Death of Yuan Tong
Chen Lin wants to leave Beijing, and he wants to be an official, so it is best to have military power. Unless the Eastern Han Dynasty is a county guard, it is all divided between the military and the government, Chen Lin wants to hold the military power, but also does not want to be controlled by others, thinking about it, only the post of the lieutenant of Anyang County in Runan. Therefore, Chen Lin wrote a letter to Chen Guo in Savage Ridge, designing to kill Yuan Tong, and then Zhao Qian and his grandfather operated, and it was okay to spend more money if he wanted to. It's just that the two didn't know that Chen Lin was so bold that he wanted to kill Yuan Tong, Chen Lin only told the two that he wanted to go back to Runan to serve as an official, and asked Grandpa to secretly order Huang Yan to go to Savage Ridge. A small county official can take office as long as there is a vacant post in the local area and the consent of the Taishou. But Runan County is a prosperous place, and even a small official has never been vacated.
However, it is said that the gang of strongmen on the Savage Ridge in Runan County often went down the mountain to plunder, but they never offended the common people and tenant farmers, and even the Chen family caravan of the Anyang clan was robbed several times, although it did not hurt people's lives, but the Chen family was robbed of a lot of materials. The lieutenant of Anyang County was scolded by Taishou, and Yuan Tong hated the three knives more than before this year.
Since Chen Lin left Anyang, Guo Sandao followed Chen Lin's instructions, practiced diligently on the mountain, and had the support of the Chen family. Guo Sandao often went to Xinxi and Zhaoling counties to commit crimes, and his martial arts were high, so that the county lieutenants of the two counties were also like Yuan Tong, the governor of Anyang County, who hated and feared Guo Sandao.
After three knives received Chen Lin's letter, he and Yuan Tong couldn't help anyone, martial arts were only in the middle of the middle, fortunately, Chen Lin said in the letter that someone would go up the mountain to help him kill Yuan Tong, but how to lure Yuan Tong out, Yuan Tong took four or five hundred people with him every time he came out to chase him, it was difficult.
Two days later, a little minion came to report at the foot of the mountain, saying that there was a masked hero who wanted to see three knives, and after three knives, he heard that it was the person Chen Lin said, and he hurriedly invited him. After three swords, I saw that the face of the person who came was covered with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of bright eyes that penetrated the heart, and a huge iron bow on his back, I am afraid that it is the legendary two-stone big bow. After three swords, you can also lift the goods of the two stones, but you can't pull the bow of the two stones, just because lifting things is done by "force", and archery is not only "force" but also has "skills", so you can shoot the enemy with a two-stone bow, strong.
This man doesn't like to talk, but he just said to Guo Sandao, just let him know what is going on. I don't care about the three knives, I only secretly said that Chen Lin has a lot of capable people, and the two of Huang Yan and Zhou Cang who have seen them before are very powerful, and they don't want to do this today, which is even more mysterious. If Huang Yan, who was covering her face next to her, knew what Sandao thought in her heart, she would definitely laugh at her belly.
It turns out that this masked person is Huang Yan, the most outstanding archery skills in the Chen family are the Huang family father and son, Chen Lin wants to kill Yuan Tong, he can't let Huang Long come, and Chen Lin wants to kill Yuan Tong Only Huang Yan and the old lady know, this kind of shady thing is naturally the less people know about it, the better. Huang Yan came to the Savage Ridge with an iron bow on his back, and only waited for three knives to lure out Yuan Tong, and then shot Yuan Tong with a dark arrow from afar, and within eighty steps, Huang Yan was an arrow piercing his heart.
In the next few days, there were frequent traces of strongmen in Savage Ridge in Anyang County, which attracted the attention of County Governor Yuan Tong. The county magistrate Yuan Tong hurriedly discussed with the county magistrate, and he had to go down the mountain to commit the crime after three knives, and finally the county magistrate charged Yuan Tong with full responsibility for this matter. Yuan Tong hurriedly sent more people to pay attention to the movements of Savage Ridge everywhere, but there was a stir and he immediately came to report.
On this day, Yuan Tong was in the mansion, and there was a panic outside the gate, and Yuan Tong saw an officer and soldier rushing in covered in blood: "My lord, the little one is paying close attention to the movement of Savage Ridge at the foot of Savage Ridge Mountain, and he has no intention of bumping into a group of thieves from Savage Ridge going down the mountain, and learned that Savage Ridge will enter Zhang Village tonight after three knives." ”
Yuan Tong was excited, Zhang Village, by the way, Miss Zhang's family is in Zhangcun, this Miss Zhang's family is Chen Lin's unmarried wife, and she is in the countryside. Yuan Tong thought to himself, after three knives, he will definitely come to rob people, now you are not dead, when you go down the mountain and still see Zhang Village, the county lieutenant will beat you down. These three knives are really powerful, two years ago, the main force was killed, and in less than two years, hundreds of people were gathered to do evil.
Yuan Tong hurriedly selected 600 county soldiers, and as soon as it was dark, he secretly went out of the city to ambush to the east of Zhangcun. When it was almost time to arrive, a crowd of people came in the darkness in the distance, about three hundred people. The group walked around and looked back, cowering, Yuan Tong stared with red eyes, and longed for this group of people to come in quickly.
Finally entered Yuan Tong's ambush, Yuan Tong first jumped up and climbed on the horse, raised his knife and shouted: "The Savage Ridge thief is killed, after three knives, your grandfather Yuan Wuju is here, kill it." All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward. The group was strange at this time, no one drew a knife, just whined and cried, and some people shouted: "We are the people of Zhaoling County, and we have come to drive them with three knives, and my lord spares my life." ”
The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, holding their knives and not knowing what to do, looking at Yuan Tong on the horse. Yuan Tong lay on the ground silently for a night, waiting for such a result, and was about to scold, when he suddenly heard a horse appear in the east, and immediately the man grinned, and said lightly: "Lord Yuan, I am so interested, but I admire the moon." After saying that, he laughed, and there were a few little minions next to him who also sneered.
As soon as Yuan Tong heard this voice, he immediately became angry, it was Guo Sandao, remembering that he had been tricked all night, so he was so angry that he rushed to Guo Sandao, regardless of the officers and soldiers next to him shouting to be careful and so on. After three knives, when he saw Yuan Tong chasing after him, he hurriedly turned around and ran, and while fleeing, he said: "Come and chase so-and-so, and so-and-so has never beaten you." Laughing and beating the horse.
Yuan Tong was fast, and he didn't care if he chased after those little minions, he just rushed to the three knives, full of anger, and vowed to dismantle the three knives before he was relieved. Guo Sandao didn't turn around to look at Yuan Tong, saw Yuan Tong catching up, smiled treacherously, ran for three or four miles, Yuan Tong was about to calm down, suddenly saw Sandao stopped, Yuan Tong didn't have time to think, and Guo Sandao slashed up on the horse, and said while fighting back: "Don't kill you, don't stop." "Three cuts just shouldn't be.
The two fought for more than 30 rounds, and the two of them have always been helpless against anyone, and today is also average, both of them stopped on their horses out of breath and looked at each other. At this time, there was a person standing silently and gently in the grass in the distance, skillfully riding the arrow, aiming at Yuan Tong in the distance, and releasing the arrow. The sharp arrow went off the string with a bang, and the lightning speed hit Yuan Tong's chest, and Yuan Tong fell off the horse with only a whin.
Guo Sandao also jumped, and he didn't know when the masked man appeared, until Yuan Tong fell off the horse, and Guo Sandao remembered tonight's task. After three swords, he swallowed his saliva, dismounted and walked out to Yuan Tong, looking at this officer and soldier who had been fighting with him for so long, he sighed in his heart, and he couldn't tell how he felt. Just as he was about to leave, the masked man had already walked over: "It's a pity? Guo Sandao looked at it: "It's a little." The masked man smiled instead: "It's a man, not pretentious." ”
After three knives, he glanced at Yuan Tong on the ground again, sighed again, turned around and was about to leave. If you want to put it at another time, you have already stripped off the armor and knife on Yuan Tong's body and taken it away, but now you have to leave after taking a look. This person who fought with himself was dead, and he was a little sad after three cuts.
"No knives, no armor, no horses?" The masked man said again. After three glances, he silently led Yuan Tong's horse, and said fiercely in his heart: "Damn the masked man"
Yuan Tong died, and the news came out on the second day in Anyang County, and the county lieutenant ambushed Savage Ridge three times without success, but was killed by three knives. The county ordered Chen Li to hurriedly write an official document, and quickly sent it to Pingxing Taishou Mansion, and ordered the soldiers of Anyang County not to move and not to leave the city.
A few days after Yuan Tong died, Huang Yan returned to Chenjiabao, and Zhou Cang, who was harmed, complained, but he didn't say where he went, only Huang Long glanced at Huang Yan meaningfully, and didn't say anything, Huang Long knew that Huang Yan was left on the order of the old lady. At this time, Chen Bao, the chief housekeeper of the Chen family, appeared in the Runan County Mansion, and there were also a thousand taels of gold with him, and Zhao Qian, the Taishou looked at the thousand taels of gold, and his eyes were green.
Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, convened all the officials of the county government, held a banquet in Zhao's mansion, and discussed the matter of the Savage Ridge bandits by the way. In the end, Zhao Taishou said: "Yuan Wuju County Lieutenant was killed by three knives, and Anyang County urgently needs someone to preside over military affairs. "This person was favored by Guanglu Doctor Yang Boxian Yang, accepted as a disciple, and had meritorious service in Yizhou County to level the rebellion, returned to Beijing to serve as the governor of Henan, Sima, who knew a lot about military affairs, and was a native of Runan County, why not be named the lieutenant of Anyang County?" How could anyone not see Zhao Qian's attitude, and even said that it was very good.
Zhao Qian hurriedly wrote a letter to Henan Yi He Jin, here Anyang is willing to appoint Chen Lin, and he also has to be released, and at the same time he wrote to Chen Lin, asking Chen Lin to deal with He Jin's pass.
Chen Lin received a letter from Anyang in Luoyang, and received a letter from Zhao Qian, and hurriedly went to He Jin's mansion. Chen Lin has always been direct, and five hundred taels of gold were sent again, so He Jin agreed.
However, when Chen Lin told Yang Ci, Yang Ci was stunned for a moment, looking at his disciple who was quite good but didn't like Luoyang for some reason, Yang Ci was helpless for a while. At this time, he only cared about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but ignored Chen Lin, and seeing that Chen Lin insisted on leaving, Yang Ci had to say that he would come to visit him more in the future.
Chen Lin left Beijing quietly, just as he left the county of Shuogao, Chen Lin is not like Cao*, he has close friends in Luoyang, and the people in Luoyang just respect the poems made by Chen Lin, and do not pay attention to Chen Lin's personality. Chen Lin took away the slaves he bought in Luoyang, but left his former family in the Chen Mansion in Luoyang to receive the Chen family caravans that passed by Luoyang from time to time, and was responsible for sending the major events in Luoyang to Anyang in time.
