Chapter Forty-Nine: The Inside Story of Jia Long

Ren An's lecture was held in Zitong County for five consecutive days before it ended, and on the last day, the number of people listening was as high as 1,000, and many children of the scholars in Hanzhong came to listen to the lecture, and Chen Lin recognized many faces in Hanzhong. In the past few days, Chen Lin has made a good friend, Li Quan, a powerful man in Shuzhong, the two almost eat the same case, sleep at the same table, and finally Li Quan reluctantly left Zitong County. At this point, everything seems to have returned to calm, Chen Lin gets along with Ren An and Du Wei every day, and pays close attention to the news of Hanzhong County. It turned out that Chen Lin did not simply go to Shu to report on his work this time, but accepted Jia Xu's offer. At that time, Liu Hua's case made Chen Lin suspect that the scholars in Hanzhong were unwilling to accept Chen Lin's increasingly solid rule, but he did not dare to make too many moves, so that Chen Lin had nothing to do with these scholars for a while. In the end, Jia Xu offered a plan: "The tiger is in the deep mountains, how dare the monkey go down the tree." "It is said that as long as Chen Lin is still in Hanzhong, these scholars in Hanzhong will not dare to make any moves, so Chen Lin left Hanzhong under the pretext, which is why Chen Lin left Jia Xu in Hanzhong. Jia Xu, his spies and Gao Shun, as long as there is a change in Hanzhong, they are afraid that they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the two. Only by cleaning up the unstable scholars in Hanzhong can Chen Lin feel at ease, otherwise he will always feel like a stalk.

At this time, Chen Lin naturally lived in the mansion arranged by Du Wei, but it was not the same as Du Mansion, on this day, Chen Lin had just returned from Ren'an's place, and Huang Yan said: "Big young master, Yizhou is engaged in Lord Jia's visit." Chen Lin was stunned, Jia Long? Then he was happy, because Chen Lin and Jia Long got along well when they first entered Shu, and the relationship between the two was quite good, and they even secretly formed an alliance together to resist the assassination. At this time, Jia Long's visit made Chen Lin a little happy, so he laughed and rushed in: "Master Jia, don't come unharmed." ”

Jia Long was having tea in the hall, and when he heard the shout, he knew that Chen Lin was back, and he also responded: "It's not as good as Lord Chen, haha." Chen Lin and Jia Long exchanged pleasantries again, and suddenly Jia Long said to Chen Lin with a solemn face: "Lord Chen, there is something I want to apologize to Lord Chen." Chen Lin hadn't noticed Jia Long's change of color, so he asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Long glanced at Huang Yan and Zhou Cang in the hall, and didn't speak, Chen Lin noticed Jia Long's solemnity, and said to Jia Long: "Master Jia, don't worry, these two people are loyal people, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Jia Long took a deep breath and said, "Yellow Turban." Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, Yellow Turban, what a sensitive word now, because of Liu Hua's matter, because Chen Lin couldn't find any trace of Yellow Turban in Hanzhong. There is also Jia Xu who deduced that most of the yellow turbans will be revived in Guanghan County and Shu County, and at this time, Yizhou is engaged in it, how can it not attract Chen Lin's attention.

Jia Long saw Chen Lin's look of concern, so he said: "Now that Master Li and many others have discovered the traces of the Yellow Turban thieves in Guanghan County, Lord Li has even asserted that there are at least thousands of people. Chen Lin gasped and hurriedly said, "Then order the hunt as soon as possible, otherwise disaster will come." ”

Seeing Chen Lin like this, Jia Long knew that he had found the right person, Jia Long said in embarrassment: "Alas, Lord Chen is only afraid that he doesn't know the hidden secret, if it's just a matter of the Yellow Turban remnants, it is much simpler, but here is not so simple." Chen Lin remembered the incident of the people coming from Luoyang when he was in Hanzhong, so he exclaimed: "Oh, what's the secret? ”

Jia Long: "Since the discovery of the remnants of the yellow scarf, I wanted to arrest him, but I accidentally found that Lord Thorn Shi was implicated, which is nothing, and I just took the Assassin Shi Master who was not stopping, but later I found traces of Luoyang, and it was a person who I couldn't afford to offend, and I didn't know what to do." ”

Chen Lin couldn't wait for the news of Luoyang, and hurriedly asked, it turned out that what Jia Long said implicated Xuan Jian was because Jia Long found that there were many official-style weapons among the Yellow Turban thieves, and when they were traced, they were secretly provided by Xuan Jian. Jia Long knew that this was because Xuan Jian had discovered that the scholars in Shu had united to drive him away, so he secretly contacted a person named Ma Xiang, using the Yellow Turban as the number, preparing to make chaos in Shu, so that Xuan Jian would have the opportunity to grasp military power in the name of war to protect his position in Yizhou.

Chen Lin couldn't imagine that Xuan Jian wanted to cost the lives of the people in Shu for his own selfishness, so he said: "If this is not discovered by Lord Jia, it would really be a disaster, and now that it has been discovered, why not quickly take down this Lord Shi and Ma Xiang?" Jia Long smiled helplessly: "The matter is here, just when I was about to expose the history of the assassination, Lord Li found out that there was a figure in the court involved, this person also wanted to make trouble, and this person is quite powerful, I am afraid that my letter in Shu will not be able to get to Luoyang but not where it should be." If you take the risk of taking down the assassin history, and the assassin history and the person in the court are in the same group, I am afraid that I will bite back, and we will become a thief. ”

Chen Lin was taken aback, this, who is this, it makes the Yizhou Shi Alliance a little afraid, Chen Lin is now just thinking about finding out the truth and avenging Liu Hua. So he hurriedly asked who the person was, Jia Long smiled miserably: "Too often" Chen Lin was shocked, looking at Jia Long's face with a miserable look of agreement, Chen Lin knew that this Jia Long only said "too often" was afraid that it was already obscure. Because Taichang is a disciple of the Liu family, the same sect of the current saint, Liu Yan, so if there are really traces of Liu Yan in it, it is still the hands and feet of the one who is high behind it, no wonder Jia Long said that it was difficult.

Chen Lin was not only embarrassed at this time, but couldn't figure it out, not to mention whether there was anything about Emperor Han Ling in this, just talking about Liu Yan, Liu Yan is a relative of the Han family, how could it be related to the remnants of the Yellow Turban, you must know that the riot three years ago almost ruined the Liu family for hundreds of years.

Jia Long still said sadly: "Now many Shu sergeant clans have begun to panic, and they all say that the imperial court wants to do something against the Shu sergeant clan, because for many years, the Shu sergeant clan has been self-contained, and has successively rejected the officials sent by the imperial court. Alas, it's time for the Shu sergeant clan to reflect, but the remnants of the yellow turban can't rise again, and I don't know how many people in Shu will be implicated at that time, and the court is unwise in this matter. "It seems that Jia Long also decided that it was the imperial court's blow to the Shu sergeant clan that arranged this turmoil. For many years, the scholars in Shu thought that they were in a remote location and could not be controlled by the imperial court, and many of the scholars in Shu were proud, often disobeying the orders of the imperial court, and they also had many disobedience to the officials appointed by the imperial court. The Han Dynasty was indeed very dissatisfied with Shuzhong, if it weren't for the excessive turmoil in the north, I was afraid that the Han family would have sent a large army into Shu a long time ago, and it was no wonder that the Shu sergeant clan was afraid now.

For such a thing, whether it is true or not, Chen Lin is very reluctant to get involved, because for many years, Hanzhong County has responded to the court's needs, and there are a lot of taxes and grains to be paid, and at the same time, Chen Lin's loyalty to the Liu family is quite high in his heart at this time. But Chen Lin was a little annoyed with Liu Hua's matter, if the yellow scarf in Yizhou was really instructed by the imperial court, then Liu Hua's hatred was not impossible to ask. Chen Lin was also troubled in his heart, and said to Jia Long: "In this case, Master Jia might as well expose the history of the assassination, and actively deal with the matter of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, after all, the remnants of the Yellow Turban on the bright side are shouted and beaten by everyone, even if there is anything wrong in the end, who can say that Shu is not." ”

After dealing with Jia Long briefly, Chen Lin was not in the mood at all, Huang Yan looked at it and said, "Young Master, there is something that cannot be decided, why don't you write a letter to ask Mr. Ji Wenhe." Jia Xu then remembered Jia Xu, who was far away in Hanzhong, so he wrote a letter in the dark and asked Huang Yan to send someone back to Hanzhong quickly. What Jia Long said was too weird, Chen Lin originally thought it was just a simple resurgence of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in Shuzhong, Chen Lin was a little nostalgic for the time when he was in Runan and just fought in the city every day.

Zitong County is almost the closest place to Hanzhong in Shu, but at this time Zitong is just a small county town, and the county soldiers are only hundreds, and most of them are private soldiers from Dufu. Since Chen Lin heard Jia Long say this, he hurriedly found Du Wei, lest the yellow scarf come back to attack Zitong County in the future, Chen Lin told Du Wei the information of Jia Long, Du Wei was also frightened, and hurriedly went out to arrange Du Xing with his family. Chen Lin wanted to go back to Hanzhong very much at this time, but Jia Xu didn't have any information, so Chen Lin wouldn't go back.

Another month, it was still a calm situation, on this day Chen Lin received a reply from Jia Xu, the letter was only a few lines, just asking Chen Lin to return to Hanzhong. Jia Xu thought that the matter in Shuzhong was not as simple as Jia Long said, because Jia Xu got information from Luoyang that recently there was an idea in Luoyang that the imperial court wanted to replace the assassin with a state pastor. Jia Xu told Chen Lin that this was probably because someone was worried about the place in Yizhou, so these things were done in Yizhou, Jia Xu hoped that Chen Lin would return to Hanzhong as soon as possible, no matter what happened in Shuzhong, but it was not a good thing.

Chen Lin also understood that Jia Xu must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have asked Chen Lin to go back when the matter in Hanzhong had not been resolved, after all, this "tiger is in the deep mountains, how dare the monkey go down the tree" scheme But Jia Xu came up with it himself, and there must be something more important than this matter that will make Jia Xu give up. So Chen Lin did not hesitate to let Huang Yan prepare for the affairs of Hanzhong, and he went to Du Wei's mansion and bid farewell to Ren An and Du Wei. Ren An said to Chen Lin's resignation: "Bo Zhi, as a county guard, can't leave the land for a long time, and it's time to go back." After saying some words of encouragement, Chen Lin rushed to leave Zitong.

After Chen Lin left, Du Wei said to Ren An: "Teacher, hide it from Bozhi like this, okay?" Ren An said: "Guofu, Bo Zhi is not from Shuzhong, there is no need to get involved in this battle, this is also for Bo Zhi's good." ”

Du Wei asked again: "Teacher, can Jia engage in them?" Ren An: "Alas, the Sergeant Shu clan has been arrogant for a long time, and it's time to give in, and Jia has no choice but to do this." ”

What kind of conspiracy is there that Chen Lin doesn't know, but Chen Lin is already on his way back to Hanzhong.
