Chapter 45: The First Mission
Chen Lin was lying on the couch, there was still a faint pain under his ribs, and Zhou Cang muttered next to him: "The eldest young master, according to a certain word, the goods that injured the eldest young master should be beheaded and shown to the public, and he dared to give a heavy hand to Shangguan, hum, if you want to let someone meet, you have to crush that goods." The maid of the Chen Mansion carefully gave Chen Lin the medicine, and the maid looked at the upper body of her eldest young master* exposed in front of her eyes, and the heroic body made the maid blush, but when she saw the bruises on Chen Lin's body, she was full of heartache.
It turned out that Chen Lin went to Si Lijun to take office, and saw that his subordinate sergeants could be called the first elite of the Han Dynasty, and he had the intention of accepting it. I wanted to mingle with the sergeant and get recognized, so I deliberately competed with the most prestigious sergeant in the army. I didn't want to be caught by the strong man in just more than 20 rounds, and Chen Lin was caught by the strong man, and he hit the waist ribs with two fierce iron fists, knocking Chen Lin out of more than a foot, and he couldn't get up again. It hasn't been back to the Chen Mansion for more than half a day, and he can barely stand up, this Si Lijun is really ruthless, even if it is a competition, it will be a dead hand.
Chen Lin saw Zhou Cang muttering, and said: "Si Lijun really lives up to his reputation, even the daily * practice is like going to the battlefield, fighting for his life, no wonder I can be called the elite of my big man." In the future, my Chen family's guards will also practice like this, and it is better to be injured and disabled on weekdays than to lose their lives on the battlefield. Huang Yan, you write a letter to Cai Zilan to lead, you have to practice like this, and no one can slack off. ”
Huang Yan looked at Chen Lin: "Yes, eldest young master." I'm afraid that the eldest young master has taken a fancy to these five hundred divisions, right? "Huang Yan is Huang Yan, unlike Zhou Cang, who only understands the surface.
Chen Lin wanted to move his body, pull the injury, and he didn't dare to move in pain, and said, "Young Master Ben wants to take it into his pocket." Huang Yan thought for a while: "The eldest young master, the elite of the Han Dynasty is only tens of thousands, and the more than 20,000 slave troops in Sizhou are also counted, and these more than 1,000 Sili troops are the elite of the Sizhou slave army, even if the eldest young master surrenders, the Sili army is still the army of the imperial court, and the eldest young master will be transferred in the future, but he still can't take away a single soldier. ”
Chen Lin only thought about how to subdue the strong generals, but he didn't think about what Huang Yan said, Si Lijun is the army of the imperial court. But Chen Lin really liked the bravery of the Si Li Army, and remembered the saying that there are military merits in exchange for freedom, so he hurriedly said to Huang Yan: "There are regulations in the Si Li Army that exchange military merits for freedom......
Huang Yan smiled: "Young Master, there is such a saying in the Si Li Army, but now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, where did the military merits come from." There are infinite possibilities in the north, but Si Lijun can get out of the capital and the important land, which is one of them. Second, in order to exchange for freedom, the military merits required are so great, it is said that it is necessary for one person to kill a hundred enemies in exchange for freedom, how easy is it to talk about it. As soon as Huang Yan finished speaking, Chen Lin was also frightened, this, personally slashed and killed a hundred enemies, this, that person probably didn't know how many times he had died before he could do it.
Chen Lin is really healthy, and within two days, the injuries on his body are almost healed. The civilian official also specially reminded Chen Lin that there was no need to go to the barracks, but Chen Lin didn't care, his injuries were just right, and he ran to the barracks again to fight with the sergeant again. Those Si Lijun have not once shown mercy to their subordinates, and they don't care about anything else, as long as Chen Lin says to fight, he will do it with all his might. Chen Lin was like this, he fought with Sergeant Si Li once in a few days, and every time he was beaten bruised, he went home to recuperate for a few days, and then came to fight with him.
In this way, for more than two months in a row, Chen Lintang's soldiers and Cao engaged in fighting with the slave army regardless of their identity, which has made many scholars and doctors in Luoyang despised. It is precisely because of this that Chen Lin has now gained a lot of respect in the military camp, and Si Lijun's eyes are also a little warm when he looks at him, and he is no longer cold and emotionless. In the past two months, Chen Lin has been beaten down no less than 20 times, but he can get better quickly every time, and it is a challenge that is not afraid of death, Si Lijun admires this kind of person who can't be beaten to death the most.
On this day, as soon as Chen Lin came to the Sili Captain's Department, a small official came over to pass the word, and Yang Qiu had an order. Chen Lin hurriedly went to see Yang Qiu, the Yang Qiu official office was busy, Yang Qiu saw Chen Lin coming in, and he didn't say anything else: "Lord Chen is here?" He turned around and waved his hand to the crowd: "Wait for you to stand down, this official has something to say to Lord Chen." ”
Chen Lin secretly thought that something was so serious, and he had to drink back the others, so he couldn't help but stand solemnly and wait for Yang Qiu's order. Yang Qiu saw that the others were gone, and said, "Lord Chen, this official wants you to go to Peiguo secretly, and only take a few sergeants to sneak into Peiguo. ”
Chen Lin: "What is the task, the officials will go all out." Yang Qiu was quite satisfied with Chen Lin's attitude: "This time, Lord Chen can't talk to anyone, not even Lord Yang. Wang Ji, the adopted son of the eunuch Wang Fu, reported that he had killed 10,000 innocent people in five years, only to know that he was mad and put the bones of the deceased in a secret place. This official wants you to go and investigate, find out this place, you can be the evidence of Wang Ji's crime, and this official vows to kill this eunuch. Yang Qiu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Chen Lin was terrified when he heard this, killing 10,000 people, Peiguo is no more than 300,000 people, and it is not a war, Wang Ji actually killed 10,000 people, Chen Lin heard it and hurriedly promised: "The next official will not let the adults down" Yang Qiu sent Chen Lin a token, and he couldn't wait when he could use it, and explained some details, so he let Chen Lin out. Chen Lin left the Yangqiu Official Office, thinking about this mission, this was the first time Chen Lin had performed such an official job, so he always had to think thoughtfully.
On the second day, it was reported in Luoyang that Cao Cao, a soldier of the Captain of Sili, was injured again, and this time it was serious, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get better if I had to lie on the couch for a month. At this time, Chen Lin was already about to pass through the Bishui Pass, with ten Sili sergeants, and he did not ride horses, pretending to be a small trader to push the cart to Yuzhou, Chen Lin did not take Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang was too conspicuous, but took Huang Yan, a member of the Chen family, a total of twelve people left Luoyang unconsciously.
Peiguo lives in the northeast of Yuzhou, and Lianqiao County also belongs to Peiguo, leading 21 counties and governing Xiang County. Pei Guo is Emperor Guangwu in the twentieth year of Jianwu named his son Liu Fu as the king of Pei and established Pei Guo. Later, it was divided into a county, and another county guard was set up, which was still the fief of King Pei. Now it is the sixth Pei King Liu Cong on the throne, and the minister of state is Wang Ji.
Chen Lin and his entourage walked in a low-key manner, not attracting attention, but secretly hurried, all the way through Chenliu, Liangguo and other places, entered Peiguo, and went straight to Xiangxian. There are more than 2,000 households in Xiangxian County, with a population of more than 10,000, surrounded by many mountains and mountains, and the land is barren. The people of Peiguo are inferior to the border people, and Wang Ji is easy to kill*, that is, King Pei is extremely disgusted with Wang Ji.
After Chen Lin and others quietly came to Xiangxian, they stayed at the inn, and only said to the store that they were waiting for the buyer of the goods here, so they sent sergeants to inquire about the news, but all the news of Wang Ji was reported to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin slowly selected one by one, whether it was valuable or not. After a few days of synthesis, Chen Lin got two important clues, one is that King Pei is indeed at odds with Wang Ji, but he is suffering from King Pei's lack of power and power; The second is that Wang Ji does not spend the night in the county every day, but has a manor out of the city.
Huang Yan said to Chen Lin: "Eldest young master, this trip can't just come to find Wang Ji's crimes, the eldest young master has the official seal of the imperial court and the token of Lord Yang. If the evidence of the crime is conclusive, you might as well arrest Wang Ji directly, lest the news leak from the court and Wang Ji destroy the evidence. ”
Chen Lin: "There are only twelve of us, Wang Ji has been here for many years, I'm afraid that we are not strong enough." Huang Yan said again: "The eldest young master is to capture the important criminals of the imperial court, not to quell the chaos. Just take down Wang Ji in one fell swoop, and then move out the official seal of the token, everyone is watching, even if someone has the heart to resist, they don't dare, otherwise he will be charged with rebellion. ”
Chen Lin heard the reason, and also said: "If you get the help of King Pei again, although King Pei has no power, if you stand up to appease others at a critical time, you will definitely be able to make me and others get twice the result with half the effort." ”
So Chen Lin ordered to continue to secretly observe Wang Ji's every move, not to let him find out, and he took Huang Yan to visit King Pei. At this time, King Pei was in the prime of life, living on fiefdoms, and had no quarrel with the people on weekdays, and won the respect of the people of Pei. After Wang Ji took office, King Pei hated all kinds of evil deeds, but his own identity was sensitive and helpless. On this day, King Pei was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and suddenly someone came to report that Luoyang had a visitor. King Pei was puzzled, King Feng could not easily contact the Beijing officials, otherwise it would be a rebellion, at this time there was a person who claimed to be a visitor from Luoyang, and after thinking about it, King Pei ordered someone to take people to the hall.
The person who came was Chen Lin Huang Yan, Chen Lin walked into Pei Wang's Mansion, and saw that the palace furnishings were quite charming, simple and unpretentious, but generous and decent, making people feel peaceful. Chen Lin guessed in his heart that this King Pei was not a luxury and powerful, but rather quite cultivated. Chen Lin sat in the hall for less than a while, and then saw a person walking out of the back hall with kind eyebrows, Chen Lin hurriedly stood up: "Meet King Pei"
The person who came was King Pei, and gently replied: "Don't dare to be, the guest is from Luoyang?" This time it was spread out, and this king had to have a lot of trouble. Chen Lin smiled: "This is the case, King Pei is not only safe, but also has to win a good reputation." The truth is not hidden, the next lawsuit is subordinate to the school captain Cao Cao engaged in Chen Lin, the word Bozhi. This time I came to Peiguo, not for King Pei, but for Wang Ji, the Minister of State. ”
As soon as Pei Wang heard that it was the Sili Captain's Department, he was scared into a cold sweat, and the people who came to the door of the Sili Captain's Department, few of them had a good end, and they heard that they were coming for Wang Ji, so they were overjoyed, it seems that Wang Ji is finished this time. Hurriedly asked Chen Lin: "My lord said that it was the Captain Department of Sili, do you have a certificate?" "I can't tolerate King Pei carelessly, as a king, the status itself is embarrassing, although the surname is Liu, but you always have to be careful, you will be cut down at every turn, and you will be demoted to a concubine. Thinking of him dignified King Pei, he didn't know that he sounded like he was infinitely beautiful, but he didn't know that he couldn't help but have a small eunuch adopted son in Peiguo, and he was helpless to see Wang Ji doing evil here, not to mention how aggrieved he was.
Chen Lin saw that King Pei was cautious and defensive, and he also understood the helplessness of these kings of the Han Dynasty. The surname Liu has been in the country for hundreds of years, and there are countless children surnamed Liu, how many people can inherit the great cause? Some of the others can also ask for a fief, and they have no worries about food and clothing, and some of them are like Liu Xuande who I have seen before, which is no different from the common people.
