The warriors of the Han Dynasty, if they wanted to rise to more than 200 stones, they all required a rough understanding of writing and ink. Otherwise, as a general, he can't even understand the military orders of the imperial court, so it's not a bad thing.

For example, Lu Bu, although he is famous for his bravery, he was able to join the state, and was able to become a state division. But Ding Yuan wanted to let Lu Bu be the master back then, and he was also able to do it.

Zhang Yang's writing level certainly does not reach the level of interpreting the meaning of the scriptures and excerpting sentences from the prologue. But when it comes to dealing with official correspondence on weekdays, his literary talent is sufficient.

Therefore, Zhang Yang looked at the handwriting on the paper and was a little surprised. The thief Cao Peng certainly knew why. He had seen some of the official documents drafted by Zheng Gu, and the handwriting on those official documents was basically the same as the handwriting on this scroll.

- Is it really the word of the white rabbit?!

Zhang Yang identified it on the paper for a while, took out one of the official documents on the case, and put it together for careful comparison. After a while, his face was cloudy, and he was obviously not happy.

"Can the prince of the mansion get anything?"

The thief Cao Peng asked knowingly. Zhang Yang glanced up at him, forced a smile and said:

"This matter should not be publicized to the outside world, and it is up to you to take care of it."

Although Zhang Yang did not call Su Gu to confront him on the spot, the thief Cao Peng was already satisfied when he saw this result. Zhang Yang is loyal and will not easily blame others. He was able to quietly make Zhang Yang doubt the stubbornness in his heart, but he achieved his goal unscathed.

For Cao Peng, a thief known for his caution in the county, the most important thing for him is not to bring down Zhenggu, but to maintain his own image. Otherwise, if you lose yourself, even if you overthrow Zhenggu, it is not worth it.

Sent away the thief Cao Peng. Zhang Yang sat on the straw mat with his buttocks, holding a solid handbook in his hand, comparing it with the roll of paper, word by word. The words are strong and powerful, and they are between the strokes. Faintly revealing a taste of unwillingness to be restrained. It's a recognizable feature.

Although Zhang Yang knows that there are people in this world who are good at writing, they can imitate other people's handwriting very similarly. However, he also knows that the better the handwriting, the more difficult it is to imitate. If you want to copy the characters that are quite good but have a distinctive style, you need a master calligrapher.

Mo said that it is Shangdang County, that is, in the entire state where culture and education are not thriving, there are calligraphy masters of this level. The number is also handful. Not to mention such calligraphy masters, they are usually either rich or expensive, and all of them are well-known celebrities in the state. Zhang Yang found it hard to believe that in the Taixing Army composed of a group of Taiping thieves, homeless people, and wanderers, there would be such a talented master?

It's just that compared to Tai Xingjun's special copying of the words to frame him, Zhang Yang was even more reluctant to believe it. He would betray himself!

After thinking about it like this, Zhang Yang felt upset. The relationship between Su Gu and the insolence of the Taixing army is not good. Zhang Yang is clear. However, from the root cause, the two sides are in the same vein of the Taiping Road, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not secretly connect again. This incident troubled Zhang Yang for a whole day, and in the end, he wanted to get rid of this boring state. Simply by his temperament, he instructed a personal guard:

"Go and ask the chief to come over!"

Since this matter is difficult to judge for the time being, Zhang Yang decided to directly call Zheng Gu himself over and ask him for an explanation. ①

It didn't come quickly. Since Shangdang is located in a mountainous area, the cultivated land is mainly distributed in the loess valley along the river. The supply of military rations was quite difficult. In order to eat, the Sugu Department was not usually stationed near the county seat. Therefore, by the time Zheng Gu came to Taishou Mansion, it was already the next day.

Zhang Yang met with Zheng Gu, and very directly put the intelligence document in front of Zheng Gu and asked:

"You wrote these messages, but you wrote them?"

He took the roll of paper with some surprise, looked through it carefully, and immediately changed his face. He quickly checked back and forth, but calmed down, looked up at Zhang Yang and said:

"Much like my words. But I really didn't write it. ”

Hearing Zheng Gu's reply, Zhang Yang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted to show up didn't happen.

"Brother White Rabbit, how do you explain these things?"

He let out a sigh of relief, and some anger came out of his face.

"The person who copied my words is a master of calligraphy! However, no matter how similar he is, it cannot be exactly the same as mine. Please look at the word 'army', in order to avoid my father, I have always written less of the horizontal in the middle. Look at the word 'Wen' again, when I was studying, I was punished by the teacher because I had written a typo, and the point above the word 'Wen' was only used to writing a horizontal. Although the copyist is a master, after all, he doesn't know my evasion. In the end, it is still possible to find flaws in the written text. ”

"Besides, please see, this information, it is said that our department has a total of 562 soldiers. The government gentleman Mingjian, the day before yesterday, the government also specially inspected our department, and when he knew that our department had a song, there were only 488 soldiers. There is a great fallacy here, and if I had written this article, how could I have mistaken such an easy number? ”

After listening to Zhenggu's explanation, Zhang Yang nodded, with a relieved smile on his face.

"Well, you are a person of integrity, and you will never collude with others so easily behind your back. Now that it has come to light, Brother White Rabbit was really framed. Have a few drinks with your forehead at noon, and it will be regarded as an apology. ”

"What the prince said, he didn't dare to be ashamed. It's just that the person behind this is framing me, and I also ask the prince to point it out, so that I can understand it with him! ”

Zhang Yang was not surprised by this reaction. In other words, it would be strange if he didn't show such a reaction. Of course, Zhang Yang had no intention of betraying the thief Cao Peng. Judging from Zhang Yang's position, in this matter, the thief Cao Peng is also responsible, and there is no element of selfishness. He laughed and explained:

"Brother White Rabbit, no one is framing you behind your back. I also got this spy report from Ariji by chance. Everyone is for business, so Brother White Rabbit should stop pursuing it, so as not to hurt the harmony. By the way, this time Jizhou sent a batch of military salaries, you can get an extra 100,000 yuan to go back, and add some food to your brothers! ”

Since Zhang Yang said this, of course, he couldn't help but give face. Since accepting Zhang Yang's recruitment, the life of his subordinates has been much better than when he was on the mountain. The so-called "eating people's soft mouths and using people's soft hands", Zheng Gu is still very aware of current affairs.

After sending away Zhenggu, Zhang Yang left the matter behind. Even the thief's confession sent by the thief Cao Peng behind him, he only glanced at it and threw it aside. Because Zhang Yang felt a little guilty about being deliberately framed by Su Gu this time, he decided to hand over the position of military judge to Zheng Gu.

The reason for this is that, firstly, it has been proven that there is nothing wrong with him and he is a reliable person; Second, he was born in the Yellow Turban and has no connection with the old soldiers under Zhang Yang, so the law enforcement will not be biased. Thirdly, he has a good academic background, and he is completely able to master the military law rules and regulations that military judges need to master. Fourth, when he is promoted to a military judge, he will inevitably relax his grasp of the non-commissioned officers of his headquarters. And the few cronies and officials that Zhang Yang had inserted earlier could also take the opportunity to grasp more power.

Zhang Yang is just soft-hearted, but he doesn't know the common moves in officialdom. Inserting a few people into the subordinates is also a kind of trust in the subordinates!

After dealing with the matter of the Tai march of the internal communication of the Zhugu [?] Zhang Yang thought he could relax a little. However, there seems to be a lot of things going on these days, and they are all piled together. Zhang Yang had just finished drafting the document for appointing Zhenggu and was about to stamp the big seal, when his soldiers came in again to report that a guest from the Wang clan of Taiyuan County had come to visit.

Taiyuan County is a neighbor of Shangdang and has always had close contacts with Shangdang. And the Wang family is the county of Taiyuan, and in the entire Bingzhou area, it is one of the best families. Not to mention the 2,000 stone first-class officials that the Wang family has produced in the past dynasties, the most outstanding talent of the contemporary Wang family, but Wang Yun and Wang Zishi, who have become high-ranking officials like "Situ" and "Shang Shuling"!

Zhang Yang is a native of Bingzhou, and according to the provisions of the "Three Mutual Law", he cannot serve as a senior official at the state and county level in his hometown and state. If he hadn't relied on the troops in his hands to forcibly entrench himself in the Shangdang and not leave, and he was exonerated by his fellow countryman Wang Yun in front of Dong Zhuo, he would not have been able to get the current position of Shangdang Taishou.

In the face of the Wang clan who had once protected himself, Zhang Yang naturally couldn't be rude. Of course, he is now the lord of a county, and the Wang family's disciples are naturally respectful in front of him. As for the purpose of this visitor's visit, it is to report the news and prepare for help.

The news brought by the doorman was about the Taixing army in the Northland.

The Taiyuan Wang clan and the high-level officials of the Taixing Army had some contacts a few years ago. At that time, the Taixing army was able to recruit smoothly, and there was also a credit to Wang Yun, who was idle at that time. Even the Taixing army went out to conquer the Southern Xiongnu, which was secretly supported by the Taiyuan Wang clan.

Of course, the Taiyuan Wang clan definitely had no intention of supporting the Taixing army. Wang Yun supported the Taixing army to go to the Southern Xiongnu, but he just wanted to eliminate the chaos of the Southern Xiongnu. In the minds of normal people, although the strength of the Taixing army is good, after all, it is not as good as the Southern Huns, who have tens of thousands of string-controlling knights. A battle between the two sides and the loss of some troops on each side is the direction in which the situation should evolve.

However, who would have thought that the Taixing army would be able to wipe out the Southern Xiongnu royal court in one battle?

After the Taixing army successfully occupied the hometown of the Southern Xiongnu, although the Taiyuan Wang clan began to have a serious fear of the existence of the Taixing army. However, their business contacts with the Taixing army became more and more frequent.

Not to mention anything else, in the past two years, forty percent of the grain purchased by the Taixing army has been related to the Wang family. The business that the Wang family has secretly done with the Taixing Army in the past few years has also made a net profit of more than 150 million yuan. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) The act of calling Zhang Yang to defend himself comes from the annotation of "Three Kingdoms" - Heroes: Yang is benevolent and peaceful, and there is no threat. The subordinates rebelled, found out, wept about it, and didn't ask.
