Chapter Forty-Nine: The Second Mission, Unlucky and Glorious
Chen Lin and the others did not delay at all on the road, except for the necessary work and rest to eat, rushed overnight, and soon returned to Luoyang. As soon as Chen Lin returned to the Sili Lieutenant's Office, he escorted Wang Ji to Yangqiu, this is because Wang Ji has woken up, and he also knows that this is Luoyang, so he was so frightened that he even told him to forgive.
"My lord, the lower official is here to return to his life." Chen Lin reported before he entered the door. Yangqiu couldn't imagine that Chen Lin would return so quickly, and was just about to speak, when he saw that Chen Lin was still holding a person, and when he looked at it again, he was shocked: "This is not Wang Ji?" Lord Chen, this is ......"
Chen Lin hurriedly told Yang Qiu about Peiguo's trip one by one, but now there are many people, and he doesn't dare to say anything about cooperating with Scar, only that the twelve people stormed Wang Ji's manor. When it came to Wang Ji feeding the wolf with a man, everyone gasped, and Yang Qiu was even more angry. After escorting Wang Ji down, Yang Qiu: "The official is wondering how Lord Chen was so impulsive and captured Wang Ji back without authorization, it turned out to be like this." Hmph, in this way, he Wang Ji is enough to die even if he has nine lives, Lord Chen is a great achievement, good, good. "Say hello a few times.
Chen Lin knew that the matter was not over, and secretly said to Yang Qiu: "My lord, retreat left and right, the lower officials still have something to say." Yang Qiu saw that Chen Lin didn't seem to be fake, so everyone avoided it, and asked, "What else does Lord Chen have to play to this official?" Chen Lin thought to himself that what he was going to say to Yang Qiu anyway would have been better to say it earlier. This Yang Qiu has always been known for its harshness, Chen Lin was apprehensive, gritted his teeth and said about the scar, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, the lower officials only want to get rid of the eunuchs, and only the eunuchs will die, Your Majesty will not be deceived by disdain, and he will reinvigorate the prestige of my great man." The incident happened suddenly, and he had to be with the bandits, and the subordinate knew that he was guilty, and he did not dare to hide it from the adults, but the ten sergeants who went to perform official duties together had many military merits, and I hope that the adults will remember it. After speaking, he waited uneasily for Yang Qiu to speak.
Sure enough, when Yang Qiu heard this, he said angrily: "The dignified Han officials are in the company of the bandits" and shouted loudly outside: "Someone is coming." Rushing in the two sergeants, Chen Lin hurriedly knelt down and didn't speak, it seems that this yang ball is really strict and fair, and his face will change. Pointing to Chen Lin, he said to the sergeant: "Bing Cao is engaged in Chen Bozhi, his words and deeds are wrong, drag it down, and hit the 20th board." When Chen Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, Yang Qiu said that Chen Lin's words and deeds were wrong, but he didn't say the crime of banditry, it seems that Yang Qiu is not like the legend. Twenty boards, just lie down for a few days.
Everyone in the official office is strange, and they all know that Chen Lin has captured Wang Ji, and there is so much evidence, and he has done a great job, and he was beaten in a blink of an eye, but because of Lord Yang's temperament, he didn't dare to talk more.
After Chen Lin was beaten, he could only be carried back to Chen's Mansion to recuperate, and the rest of the things were not Chen Lin's intervention. At this time, Luoyang Zhong learned that Chen Lin was not recuperating from a serious injury, but secretly went to Peiguo, and captured Wang Ji, the son of Wang Fu, in one fell swoop. Luoyang began to spread all kinds of words about Chen Lin going to Peiguo, which was amazing, Wang Ji fed the wild wolf, Chen Lin broke down a hundred people alone, etc., the opinions were different, but after speaking, they all applauded Chen Lin. In an instant, the name of Chen Lin and Chen Bozhi, the land of Luoyang, everyone knows it. Few people know about Chen Lin being beaten as soon as he returned to Luoyang, only saying that Lord Chen fought with Si Lijun again and lost again.
Chen Lin listened to the words brought back by his subordinates in the mansion, he couldn't cry or laugh, and it was not easy to care, how Luoyang people like to say what they wanted. Chen Lin only paid attention to the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and it is said that the speaker Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao scolded the eunuchs angrily in the court, and his words were disrespectful, which made Long Yan angry, and he wanted to distribute the border land, I don't know if it is true or not.
On this day, Chen Lin was already able to stand up and walk around at will, and the next person came to report, there was an official outside the door looking for Chen Lin, and brought him in to see it, it was a sergeant from the Lieutenant Department of the Division, and Chen Lin had seen it a few times. The sergeant from the lieutenant's department came to the house, it must not be a private matter, Chen Lin asked busily. The sergeant said that it was Yang Qiu who asked him to come to Chen's mansion, and if Chen Lin could walk, he wanted Chen Lin to go to the official office immediately, and he had urgent business, but he didn't know what it was.
Chen Lin hurriedly rushed to the official office with the sergeant to meet Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu did not mention the matter of beating Chen Lin's 20 boards, and it was as if it had never happened on his face, which made Chen Lin admire for a while, an old ghost is an old ghost. When Yang Qiu saw Chen Lin coming, he spoke first: "Bo Zhi is here." Yangqiu has always been serious, and he is called by his official name, but today he actually called Chen Lin "Bozhi", which made Chen Lin strange, and hurriedly responded.
After visiting, Yang Qiu said: "Lord Chen captured Wang Ji a few days ago, and it happened that Lord Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao Yang Wenxian Yang reported Wang Fu's protégé, father and brother and son for corrupting the law and harming the people, and the official is dealing with it, and this time Wang Fu and the others do not want to escape." Chen Lin said yes, thinking, sure enough, the Yang family made a move, it seems that Yang Qiu recommended Chen Lin that time, and the Yang family's Yang conspiracy to go into the water was achieved.
Yang Qiu said again: "This time I asked Lord Chen to come because of another matter, Lord Cai scolded the eunuch, and his words were inappropriate, which angered His Majesty, and this morning issued an edict to send Lord Cai's whole family to Shuofang County. It's a pity that a generation of celebrities and Confucians, this official has to be retributed, Cao Jie and other eunuchs want to assassinate Lord Cai on the road, how can Lord Cai be a scholar and scribe, how can he resist. Lord Cai sent a border land, and he was also escorted by two people from the Lieutenant Department of Si Li, and the official wanted to ......" Yang Qiu actually vomited when he said this.
Chen Lin thought about it and understood the meaning of Yangqiu, thinking that he wanted Chen Lin to personally escort Cai Yong to Shuofang, but Chen Lin felt that Si Lijun was afraid that his martial arts were still above Chen Lin, in order to protect Cai Yong, it would be safer for other Si Lijun to go than Chen Lin, why is this. Chen Lin simply asked directly: "Lord Huiyang, the lower official is willing to escort Lord Cai all the way, but there is one matter that the lower official is not clear." ”
Yang Qiu saw that Chen Lin was going to agree, and said happily: "It's okay to say it directly." Chen Lin: "The lower officials are not afraid of death, but they are only afraid that among the five hundred people under the lower officials, there are also those who are higher in martial arts than the lower officials, otherwise the lower officials will not be injured from time to time, for the safety of Lord Cai, why don't Lord Yang directly send two lower officials down, wouldn't it be more secure?" ”
Yang Qiu: "Escort and distribution have always been the business of ordinary sergeants, and Lord Chen, as a soldier, is engaged in it, so he definitely does not need to escort Lord Cai in person, but for the sake of Lord Cai, the great Confucian of the world, this official is willing to make an exception." As Lord Chen said, there are indeed sergeants in the army whose martial arts are higher than Lord Chen, but no matter how high their martial arts are, they can only send two escorts, but if they are escorted by Lord Chen, Lord Chen has a family member with him. ”
Chen Lin suddenly understood that the idea of this yang ball was Chen Lin's guard, and the official could only send two sergeants to escort Cai Yong, but if Chen Lin was one of them, how many families he brought with him would be regarded as Chen Lin's private matter, this yang ball ghost. Chen Lin understood what Yang Qiu thought, no wonder Yang Qiu was spitting, but Chen Lin also looked up to Cai Yong's talent very much, and he was not very resistant in his heart.
So Chen Lin said: "The lower officer understands the intention of the lord, and the lower officer receives the order, just hoping that the lord can match the horse for another sergeant who goes with him." Seeing Chen Lin agreeing so readily, Yang Qiu liked this young man more and more in his heart.
According to the time given by Yangqiu, it is noon tomorrow, and Cai Yong will leave Luoyang. Chen Lin quickly ran to Yang's mansion and talked about it with his mentor Yang Ci, so it was a farewell. Yang Ci is also worried about Yang Qiu, afraid that Cai Yong's friend will have a problem on the road, and now that he heard that Yang Qiu is arranged, Yang Ci is slightly less resentful about Yang Qiu pulling Yang's family into the water. Yang Ci just kept sighing, sighing that his old friend, his brain was not bending, and even His Majesty dared to scold. He also said that he had pity for Miss Cai, who was less than two years old, and that she would have to suffer with it. Cai Yong just won a daughter at the beginning of last year, and this year he suffered this catastrophe.
Chen Lin returned home, summoned Huang Yan Zhoucang, and explained the reason, Chen Lin saw that Yangqiu was serious, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he decided to let Huang Yan and Zhoucang follow, and the other ten or twenty guards, asked Huang Yan to arrange, with horse equipment, to escort Cai Yong to Shuofang.
At noon on the second day, a Si Li sergeant was waiting in front of Chen's Mansion on a horse early in the morning, and he also brought a token for Chen Lin, saying that Yangqiu told Chen Lin to go directly to Cai's Mansion without going to the official office. So Chen Lin led more than 20 people and Si Li's sergeant, all of whom rode to Cai Yong's mansion, among which only Chen Lin and Si Li's sergeant wore Han army clothes, Chen Lin was engaged in the soldier's Cao, and he originally had the regular black armor of the Han Dynasty, Chen Lin disliked the bulky, and usually took it off, and he didn't wear it at this time.
Chen Lin and his cavalry walked on Luoyang Avenue, which attracted people's attention, Huang Yan hurriedly said to Chen Lin: "Young Master, why don't we wait outside Luoyang City first, as we are now, I am afraid that people with evil intentions will know in advance that we are escorting Lord Cai, so that he can be prepared." Chen Lin felt that Huang Yan was reasonable, and it was better to keep a low profile, so Huang Yan Zhou Cang and the others turned their horses' heads, ran out of Luoyang first, and waited outside the city.
At this time, the front of Cai's mansion was already full, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all came to see each other, which shows Cai Yong's fame. Chen Lin hurriedly got off the horse and stepped forward to meet the many adults of that place, and finally came to Cai Yong, and found that Cai Yong only had three carriages. One sat the female dependent, Mrs. Cai, the other was Cai Yong's own use, and one was full of books and bamboo slips. And there are seven or eight small servants, only two of them have knives, which shows how honest Cai Yong's style is, which makes Chen Lin admire from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone was curious about why Chen Lin was here, and Yang Ci hurriedly explained, saying that Chen Lin took the initiative to petition to escort Master Cai to Shuofang. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all praised Chen Lin, and they all said that Chen Lin was righteous, and even Cai Yong was old and moist. Even Yuan Shao in the crowd couldn't help but glance at Chen Lin a few more times, and he had some admiration in his heart. The dignified Si Li's lieutenant Cao Zhi personally escorted Lord Cai to the border land, plus the incident of Wang Ji a few days ago, Chen Lin has a good reputation during this time, just like Cao Mengdeli five-color stick back then.
How do these Chen Lin know, but when he saw Cai Yong, he had nothing to clean up, and when he saw the sun shining, he said to Cai Yong: "Lord Cai, it's not early, if you don't go out of Luoyang again, I'm afraid there will be trouble again." "If you don't leave Luoyang on time, I'm afraid those eunuchs will take the opportunity to make trouble again.
