In the summer of the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou Mu Chen Lin sent an envoy to Zhao'an, Beidi County, to entrench Xu Rong Niu Fu in Beidi County, but Niu Fu had been killed by his subordinate Hu Chi'er. Chen Lin and Xu Rong discussed overnight, and left the north the next day, Xu Rong did not give a clear answer, but although Chen Lin said that he might not be suitable to be a messenger lobbyist, he was confident in his heart, and no one knew why.

A group of five people returned to the south again, but this time Xu Rong gave five good horses, and finally avoided the suffering of the long distance. After a few days, Zhou Cangyi shouted: "Young Master, are we lost, why do you feel that now we are not going south but east." ”

Chen Lin pursed his lips and smiled: "Oh, yes? A group of people laughed, the group had been walking east for most of the day, and Zhou Cang was still a master of wild whereabouts, and now he found out. It turned out that Chen Lin and others met a few pedestrians from Hedong on the road last night, saying that there was a big battle at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, and it was said that it was a white wave thief infighting, and it was so dark that it was dark. As soon as Chen Lin heard this, he knew that it should be Dong Cheng who went to recruit An, so that the internal opinions of the white wave thieves were not unified, and finally there was a mutiny. I just didn't know whether the faction that favored Zhao'an won or the opposing side won, Chen Lin was a little worried. He didn't care about Dong Cheng's life or death, what Chen Lin cared about was whether he could move reinforcements from Hedong to Chang'an.

Chen Lin decided to make a detour to Hedong, one was to get closer to Dong Cheng, and the other was that Chen Lin was heading for the Hedong Shijiawei family. The Wei family in Hedong is a famous family of Confucianism and classics, and the Wei family is a person from the county, originating from the general Wei Qing. By the time of Emperor Ming, the Wei family was named Wei Hui, and Wei Wei was famous all over the world. The imperial court ordered Wei Wei to enter Beijing because of Wei Hui's talent and fame, but Wei Wei died of illness when he passed through Hedong Anyi, and Wei Wei was already a great Confucian in the world at this time. The imperial court issued an edict to bury Wei Wei on the spot, and most of the people of the Wei family also migrated to Anyi, Hedong to settle down, and for more than 100 years, the Wei family has produced many capable people, all of whom are Confucian masters, and there are countless scholars. The Wei family resolutely became the first big family in Hedong, to the time of Emperor Shun, the Wei family also produced a big man Wei Yao, Wei Yao official to the captain of the Qiang school, it was the year of the Qiang to engage in Ma Xuan's defection, Wei Yao led the troops to chase outside the Saiwai, beheaded 800, and captured more than 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses.

A few years ago, Wei Ning, the son of the Wei family, Wei Zhongdao, married the daughter of Cai Yong and Cai's family, which was a sensation and envied others, but the good times did not last long, Wei Zhongdao died of illness, and Miss Cai did not have time to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Wei family, so she was not allowed to the Wei family. Miss Cai was arrogant, how could she stand the sneers of the Wei family, and returned to Cai Yong in a fit of anger. At this time, he should have been in Hanzhong, thinking that when Chen Lin met Miss Cai, he was still in Mrs. Cai's arms, but he had already experienced this kind of human tragedy, and the world was impermanent.

Chen Lin wanted to go to Hedong, but not because of Miss Cai, nor because of the dead genius Wei Zhongdao, but because of Wei Zhongdao's brother, Wei Kai Wei Boru. Wei Kai is forty years old, in Hedong is a highly respected Confucian teacher, the Han Dynasty since the exclusive respect of Confucianism, only those who study Confucian scriptures can become officials, and the Wei family is one of the best. Unlike the Yuan family and the Yang family, the Wei family rarely leaves Hedong, which has created a situation in which the Hedong family is dominant. Wei Kai still has no children under his knees, only three daughters, and it is rumored that the three daughters are all married.

Every time the imperial court appointed Hedong Taishou, even Dong Zhuo did not dare to move the Wei family when he was in Hedong, and after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he did not dare to do anything to Hedong to sweep the people. Wei Kai has been idle at home, concentrating on studying, Chen Lin just wants to try his luck this time to see if he can move Wei Kai. Not to mention the help of the Wei family, even if Wei Kai is the only one, it is earned.

Hanoi has been taken by Liu Bei, and sooner or later Hedong will become the object of contention between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in Bingzhou, even if Dong Cheng recruits the white wave thieves in Shouyang Mountain this time, Hedong will not want to have a quiet future. When the troubled times are at the head, how can there be a paradise, if you either go upstream, or you are swept away by the flood of troubled times. If the Wei family is really as famous and talented as the rumors say, it should not be difficult to see this.

Along the way, he passed through Xie Liang and Wenxi, and finally arrived at Anyi County, the seat of Hedong Zhizhi, which is also the purpose of Chen Lin's trip and the location of the Wei family. Chen Lin's five people and five horses were ticking into the city at this time, and it was not a strange thing in the years of war and chaos. Chen Lin couldn't go to the Wei family like this, it was irrational to do so, Chen Lin planned to find out about Anyi's situation first. So the five of them chose a high-scale inn, and the shopkeeper was very discerning, and saw Chen Lin and the others stop in front of their store and look up. Xiao Er immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, but do you want to eat and stay in a hotel?" The small shop can definitely satisfy the guest officer, and there is a groom who specializes in cooking horses to take care of the guest officer's horses for the guest officer, and the guest officer is invited. ”

Chen Lin was not a particularly difficult person to serve, anyway, he just lived in a hotel, so he walked inside. Eating is important, you can talk about it later, the five of them have long been used to eating together, and Duan Yu is not used to Chen Lin sitting with his subordinates. There are groups of Jianghu customers in the inn, passers-by merchants, local rich families, everyone, although it is not very lively, but it is not deserted. Chen Lin and the others picked a corner and sat down, the wine and meat were up quickly, Chen Lin took Zhou Cang's burden and picked out a string of copper coins: "Xiao'er, add more good material to the horses, and the rest will be rewarded to you." Xiao Er looked at it, the big customer, smiled more happily, and he should be busy.

Chen Lin and the others lowered their heads and ate and said something inconsequential. Suddenly, there was a discussion of a few business-looking people in the store, which attracted Chen Lin's attention, and Chen Lin looked up and saw that there were three people, one old and two young. One of the young men said, "Oh my God, it was good that we ran fast that day, otherwise we would have died at the foot of Shouyang Mountain." Another young man said: "What's good, all the goods are lost, this trip is a loss, pity my dozen or so high-quality fabrics, I originally wanted to go to Jinyang to sell at a good price." ”

The old man spoke at this time: "Hehe, it's good to be able to pick up a life, the so-called contentment and happiness, the infighting of the white wave thieves is all because of the imperial court Zhao'an, but it's a pity that Han Xian, who is now advocating Zhao'an, is difficult to defeat Li Le and Hu Cai, if it weren't for the country's uncle who is making suggestions with Han Xian, I'm afraid that I will lose early, the thieves of Tiansha, it is rare for the court to pardon them to recruit An, but I don't know what to do, sooner or later there will be no good fruit to eat." "The old man knows quite a lot.

Chen Lin was taken aback, the infighting between the white wave thieves is not over yet, it seems that Dong Cheng's situation is not good, one leader named Han Xian agreed to recruit An, and the other two disagreed, so they fought, Han Xian is still the weak side, not good. Chen Lin hurriedly summoned Xiao Er over: "Xiao Er, I asked you, there is no imperial court in this Hedong County, and there are white wave thieves to make trouble, but when I first came to Hedong, I saw that most of the places were safe and easy, and the people were quite self-sufficient, why is this?" ”

Chen Lin asked this question a little loudly, and before Xiao Er could answer, he heard a voice from the other end of the inn: "Hahaha, this is the work of Anyi's Wei family." ”

Chen Lin was startled and looked over at the voice, but saw that it was a man in his thirties who was dressed as a scribe but was a little unruly, and his hair was scattered and untidy. Xiao Er looked at it and said to the other side: "Master Wei, this is the credit of your Wei family, it is really a blessing of trust." The scribe sneered and didn't look back: "It's the credit of the Wei family, not the credit of my Wei family." ”

Chen Lin was confused, what is the credit of the Wei family, not the credit of my Wei family? Just now, Xiao Er said that you are the Wei family, it seems that this scribe is the Wei family. Xiao Er knew that Chen Lin was confused, and hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised by the guest officer, this is the Wei family's partial fang Wei Yaxing Wei Gongzi." ”

Chen Lin didn't understand, but he didn't ask again, knowing that this was not the time to discuss this, Chen Lin raised his glass and said to the scribe: "There are a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, but I don't know if the son is willing to come over and sit at the same table with Chen." The scribe was stunned for a moment, not stunned by Chen Lin's invitation, but indulged in Chen Lin's words, then laughed, stood up, and walked over slowly: "The wine is a thousand cups of confidants, and the brother is a good scholar." Sit down straight, so that Zhou Cang and the others couldn't help but frown, this person was a little arrogant.

Xiao Er shook his head, walked away, and muttered: "Wei Gongzi is here to cheat again." The familiar people around them all shook their heads and laughed at Chen Lin, as if Chen Lin was a big fool.

Chen Lin: "The stability of Hedong that Gongzi just said is the credit of the Wei family, I don't know if Gongzi can talk about it in detail." "I didn't ask who you were, but I asked the question just now, and Childe was obviously stunned. Then he changed to a sneering expression: "The Wei family is famous for its talents, the Wei family is full of economic and rich five cars, Wen Ke is stable and the country can protect the family and defend the country, who doesn't know who doesn't know, the people respect the Wei family, the husband is diligent and the farmer, and the people are not thieves, this is all the credit of the Wei family's education, and Brother Tai is a foreigner?" ”

Chen Lin heard infinite jealousy, jealousy, definitely jealousy, this was Chen Lin's first reaction. Zhou Cang said angrily at this time: "The Wei family deserves to be a big family in Hedong, and it deserves this honor." Even Zhou Cang knew what was going on with the son, and hurriedly said a run. Childe smiled and said softly: "Why did the white wave thief rebel? ”

Zhou Cang himself was not good at words, and he suddenly became angry. Chen Lin thought about it, but decided that it didn't seem to be completely unreasonable, if the Wei family governed Hedong, everyone would live and work in peace and contentment, but why is there still a white wave thief uprising in the territory, which has been a disaster for the township for many years. Seeing that Zhou Cang had nothing to say, Gongzi sneered again and again: "There are 300,000 people in Hedong, 4 million in Tian, and the Wei family accounts for 3.5 million-I only know that the Wei family has Wei Boru Wei Zhongdao, do you know other Wei family disciples?" - "I saw that this son was like a cynical young man, talking endlessly, making the people around him shake their heads.

But Chen Lin decided that this son spoke fluently, although he was hostile to the Wei family, but it was difficult to hide his talent, this is a knowledgeable person, ordinary people can't analyze these things, this person is very good at finding short flaws in the general trend, this is a talent, this is a talent, Chen Lin's only thought in his heart is to get this person. Chen Lin didn't know why he had such thoughts, but it was as if a voice kept telling him, do you want to be better, ask him to go back, ask him to go back, you will find many shortcomings, and if you correct them, you will be able to become better.

Chen Lin stood up, tidied up his clothes, and bowed heavily to the son, so that everyone sitting on the seat, including the son, who was still talking, was surprised, only to see Chen Lin bow heavily: "Son, please accept Chen's worship." ”

Childe was stunned, his mind was complicated, it was the first time someone had treated him like this, respected himself so much, and he was praised for the first time, but was this person sincere, or was he pretty. Childe couldn't care so much, and hurriedly stood up to return the salute, and all those who knew him were surprised to find that when Childe was so serious and religious.

Childe asked, why did you bow to me?

Chen Lin smiled, others are indulging in success and joy, only you can find the crisis, you are one of the few people who dare to tell the truth, and hit the nail on the head.

Wei Gongzi cried, tears streaming down his face.
