Chapter 36: The Thoughts of the Shu Sergeant Clan

Guanghan County is located in Luo County, but the Department of Xuanjian Thorn History is located in Mianzhu County, Chen Lin and his entourage finally arrived in Mianzhu County after a lot of hard work, Chen Lin and his party have a large number of people and are in armor, which is naturally refreshing. Chen Lin settled down a little and stayed at the inn, and then went to see Lord Assassin Shi with Jia Xu and Zhou Cang, who had a bad reputation in Yizhou, because Xuan Jian would take it wherever he went. Xuan Jian asked Chen Lin to come this time, on the surface, in the name of the public, but in fact, it was just as Chen Lin thought, extortion, because Shu Road was difficult, so Xuan Jian was unwilling to go to Hanzhong County in person, so he asked Chen Lin to come.

As a result, Chen Lin had a closed door, and only the little family came out to say that he would come to the banquet tonight. Chen Lin didn't understand which one it was, and returned to his residence in confusion, and when the time came, Chen Lin went out, feeling strange in his heart, before the Lord of the Assassin Shi had seen it, he set up a banquet first, it seemed that it was really not a business. When he came to Xuanfu, Chen Lin found that he was the only one at this banquet, and even Jia Xu and others were blocked out and set up a small banquet to entertain them.

Chen Lin sat alone in the main hall for a while, and then a voice came from behind: "Haha, this official is late, don't blame him." "It turned out to be Chen Lin's cousin, and he was also called the official, which was inconsistent and nondescript. Walking out of a person, with a fat head and brain, covered in oil, it seems that he can behave like this in the Xuan Mansion, it seems that he is Xuan Jian himself. Chen Lin hurriedly got up and greeted: "Xiaguan Hanzhong County Guard Chen Lin Chen Bozhi has seen my lord." Xuan Jian smiled and beckoned Chen Lin to sit down, but he looked very kind, full of spring breeze.

Xuan Jian first praised Chen Lin by hearsay, saying how well Hanzhong County was governed, and he deserved to be a young hero. Suddenly, his tone changed, and he sighed: "Alas, this Yizhou can be regarded as a frequent turmoil, and the successive events have made Yizhou financially empty." After speaking, he squinted at Chen Lin, and tried his best to pretend to be worried about the people and the country, but Chen Lin saw it clearly, knowing that the purpose of this trip was also here, Chen Lin said: "Yes, Shuzhong is poor, rice thieves are rampant in my Hanzhong County, and there are still many rice thieves who are in trouble day after day." Chen Lin said that Hanzhong County was as miserable as possible, and finally said with a very supportive look of Lord Thorn Shi: "The lower official will first give the tax of Hanzhong County for the next year to Lord Thorn Shi, and there are also three thousand taels of gold." ”

When Xuan Jian heard that in the huge place in Hanzhong, Chen Lin, as the guard of a county, actually said the number of three thousand, Xuan Jian's face changed, and he said in a strange manner: "This official heard rumors outside that Lord Taishou had moved tens of thousands of people from Anyang County, Runan County to Hanzhong County without permission, if the court listened to the rumors, it would be bad for Taishou." "Xuan Jian directly threatened. Chen Lin was also very angry in his heart, but he couldn't attack in front of Shangguan, otherwise Xuan Jian would have more excuses, so Chen Lin also said angrily: "That's just a house slave brought by Xia Guan from Runan, but there are not tens of thousands, and Xia Guan also has to agree to this matter, so don't be gullible." ”

In the end, it was a little unhappy, Chen Lin left three thousand taels of gold and left, and he didn't know how Xuan Jian was, so he shouldn't be very happy when he looked at his eyes. A small local scholar clan can win nearly 10,000 taels, but the dignified county Taishou only left 3,000 taels of gold, and Xuan Jian was a little angry.

On the way, Chen Lin's face was full of anger, no one dared to speak, and everyone went straight to the inn. At dawn on the second day, Chen Lin decided to go to the Assassin's Mansion openly, after all, this time he entered Shu Zhong was a name for official business, and Chen Lin wanted people to know that he had been to Mianzhu, so as not to be frugal in the future. Unexpectedly, when Chen Lin came to the Assassin's Mansion, the sergeant only threw Chen Lin a bamboo slip, saying that Master Assassin Shi had gone to inspect elsewhere and wanted Chen Lin to return to Hanzhong so that he could make a living. I don't know if it was the sergeant who said this, or if it was Xuan Jian's original words, in short, it made Chen Lin so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh. After a lot of hard work, he came to Mianzhu through Shu Road, but this was the result, Chen Lin suddenly had an urge to kill this assassin master.

Just when Chen Lin was in an uncertain mood in front of the Assassin's Mansion, a person came out of it and shouted loudly: "But the eldest prince of Hanzhong County guards Lord Chen? But seeing that the man was in good spirits, Chen Lin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Exactly, I don't know what the adults call and what their official positions are?" ”

The man laughed and said, "A certain is engaged in this Assassin Mansion, Shu County Jia Long Jia Qiande." I have heard for a long time that Hanzhong Taishou Chen is very popular, and it is really extraordinary. Although Chen Lin didn't know why this person was so kind to him, Chen Lin saw from Jia Long's eyes that this was not contrived. Chen Lin hurriedly responded modestly, Jia Long pulled Chen Lin aside and said, "What is the so-called matter of Taishou entering Shu?" Chen Lin didn't know how to answer in his heart, if it was a business, it would be impossible for this assassin to not know, but how could Chen Lin say what happened last night.

Jia Long saw that Chen Lin should not dodge, and he knew in his heart, and said: "I'm afraid that Taishou has already seen Lord Thorn Shi last night, alas, this is a shame for Yizhou." When Chen Lin heard this, he knew that he was afraid that the local people in Shuzhong would receive a lot of blackmail from Xuan Jian, and Xuan Jian acted like this, but he was afraid that this position of assassination would not be long in coming. In the end, Jia Long cleaned up his mood and smiled, and said to Chen Lin: "Lord Taishou rarely enters Shu once, how can Jia not fail to share the friendship of the landlord, Lord Taishou must not shirk tonight, Jia Mou set up a banquet in the house to entertain Taishou." ”

Yes, it's a banquet again, Chen Lin is afraid that this time he entered Shu just for this grain and grass banquet, but this Jia Long banquet is too different from the banquet set up by Xuan Jian. So Chen Lin laughed, and even said that it was that, Chen Lin also wanted to know more about the things in Shu and get to know some scholars in Shu.

Chen Lin, who was invited by Jia Long, was in a slightly better mood, and Jia Xu and others had a laugh and a meeting inn, Jia Xu said: "Lord, this Jia Qiande set up a banquet to invite the lord, but I'm afraid it's not so simple, the lord is the Taishou of Hanzhong County, and he is also a member of Yizhou, this is thrifty in Shu for more than a year, bursting greedy for money, and Shuzhong has already complained, at this time Jia Qiande invited the lord, I'm afraid that there are some ideas, the lord can deal with it carefully, don't be someone else's blade, use it for others and don't know it." ”

Chen Lin didn't think so much about it, but when he heard Jia Xu say it, he also thought a little more, what Jia Xu said was not unreasonable, this Jia Long, as a member of the Shu sergeant clan, was afraid that what he represented was the will of the Shu sergeant clan. Chen Lin said: "Could it be that this Shu sergeant clan is dissatisfied with the assassination history and has taken action? Jia Xu smiled: "I'm afraid that this will be to win over the lord." Chen Lin knew that all this was just speculation, and the truth would only be known tonight, so he didn't think much about it, and returned to the inn until it was dark.

Jiafu is also a magnificent mansion, it seems that this Jia Long has some power in Shu, at least in Mianzhu is a big family. When Chen Lin arrived, he didn't expect that there were already two rows of people sitting in Jia's mansion, Chen Lin was startled, saw Jia Long, and hurriedly confessed: "Lord Jia forgives the sin" Jia Long laughed, and hurriedly introduced Chen Lin to everyone present: "Everyone, this is Lord Chen, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, Chen Bozhi of Runan, Yuzhou, and the poetry of my Han is a must." I don't know when, Chen Lin knows that many people in the world call him "a must in poetry", which can be regarded as a great recognition and respect for Chen Lin.

Whether they knew each other or not, they all hurriedly got up and said some polite words to Chen Lin, and Jia Long introduced everyone present one by one. In addition to Jia Long, who is engaged in Yizhou, there are also Mianzhu Ling Li Sheng, Li Qide, Mianzhu Daxian Ren An, Ren Dingzu, Shu County clan Ren Qi Ren Renxian, Mianzhu Shi clan Qin Mi Qin Ziyi, all of them are powerful people in Shu, but I am afraid that these people have the final say in Mianzhu now. Chen Lin visited them one by one, and everyone saw that Chen Lingui was too guarded, but he had no posture at all, he was modest and polite, and everyone's good impression of Chen Lin rose for a while.

Everyone sat down, and after a lot of singing and dancing, the singers of Jiafu were really different from what Chen Lin had seen, and it seemed that this Shuzhong style had a different appearance. Ren An, the great sage of Mianzhu here, was the eldest, and he was already sixty years old at this time, seeing that although Chen Lin had some appreciation for this Jiafu singer, he was not obsessed with greed, but just nodded slightly and looked a few times and turned away. Ren An couldn't help but speak highly of Chen Lin, and said loudly: "I heard that Lord Taishou pacified the rice thieves in two months, and made everyone in Hanzhong live and work in peace and contentment, Lord Taishou is worthy of the blessing of my Yizhou." "Ren An doesn't count Chen Lin's months in Shangyong County, so Chen Lin pacified the rice thieves in two months.

Chen Lin saw the elder speak, and hurriedly responded: "Mr. is highly respected, but it is a reputation in Yizhou, please call Lin Biao." The matter of Hanzhong is the responsibility of Bozhi, and he does not dare to be unreasonable, and Mr. is serious. The others were also very happy to see that Chen Lin respected their great sages in Shu so much.

Everyone talked a lot, and finally Jia Long said: "My Yizhou has always been safe and sound, and everyone laughs and laughs, but now, alas, Lord Assassin Shi ignores the people of Yizhou." Chen Lin said in his heart, here, here, and was said by Jia Xu again, this Shu sergeant clan is afraid that he will not be able to tolerate Xuan Jian to continue to mess around. Chen Lin just didn't say anything, Jia Long glanced at Chen Lin, and continued: "I, the officials and people of several counties in Shuzhong, will jointly submit a name to the imperial court, and order the imperial court to think about my Yizhou, I don't know what Chen Taishou thinks?" ”

Jia Long saw that since Chen Lin didn't take the initiative, he spoke directly to Chen Lin, and when Chen Lin saw it, everyone looked at him and knew that he couldn't escape. Thinking of Xuan Jian's behavior, Chen Lin saw the posture of the Shu sergeant clan again, but he was afraid that it was incompatible with Xuan Jian, Chen Lin was only afraid that there was no neutral position at this time, if he did not stand with the Shu sergeant clan, I am afraid that Chen Lin would also suffer the same as Xuan Jian. Even if the Shu sergeant clan can't bear Chen Lin, who is far away in Hanzhong, but Chen Lin wants to enter Shu in the future, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult, so he gritted his teeth and decided to be with Jia Long and others, saying: "Hmph, this official is also a person who can't look down on arbitrariness, when this official is governing in Hanzhong County, if he encounters such an official, the heavy one will be beheaded, and the light one will be removed." ”

When he left Jiafu, everyone seemed to be satisfied, although Chen Lin was tied to the side of the Shu sergeant clan in vain, but he won the support and recognition of the Shu sergeant clan, and he benefited a lot.
