As soon as the army came down the mountain, Huang Zhong hurriedly caught up, and said with a guilty expression: "My lord, the Taishan thieves broke through and went down the mountain, and the troops under the command of the last general were insufficient and could not be stopped. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the Taishan thieves anymore, you are blocking Fubo Ridge now, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Then, arrange the soldiers under his command to search the mountain with all their might, and they must find the Xuanyuan Sword. ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists and turned around to go down to arrange.

Wang Yan followed the team and rushed to the county seat.

Halfway through, Cao Cao came to Wang Yan's side and whispered: "Wang Yan, Yuan Shu is obviously deliberately provoking, why did you agree?" In this huge mountain forest, it is too difficult to find a Xuanyuan sword. If Zang Ba buried the Xuanyuan Sword deep underground, wouldn't he have to dig three feet into the ground? If it is to dig the mountain, can it be found out in the year of the monkey? ”

Wang Yan glanced at Cao Cao, and said in his heart: Cao Heizi, you are really an afterthought, and now you are running to comfort you, why didn't you speak at that time.

However, Cao Cao had good intentions after all, and Wang Yan couldn't help but express it.

Wang Yan looked helpless and explained: "The situation at that time, even General Jian said the specific time, what can I do?" Once refused, General Jian could directly write to the Son of Heaven, saying that Wang Yan, the county lieutenant of Nancheng County, refused to look for Xuanyuan Sword. The Son of Heaven was furious, and it was light to cut off my personal head, maybe he would directly raid his family and exterminate his family. ”

Cao Cao was suddenly dumbfounded, and there was no reason to persuade him again, so he sighed lightly: "This time, it's not easy to deal with." ”

"Take a step, look at a step." Wang Yanqiang said with a smile.

Cao Cao patted Wang Yan on the shoulder and turned to leave.

The group returned to the county seat, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, a soldier guarding the city came and reported: "Lord County Lieutenant, the Taishan thieves came last night, and the county order and the main book were killed. ”

The soldier's eyes were panicked, and he didn't dare to be Wang Yan's gaze.

Wang Yan had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "What about people? ”

The soldier said, "The corpse is placed on the castle tower." ”

"Lead the way!" Wang Yan commanded.

The soldiers led the way in front, and Wang Yan immediately went up to the city tower. Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu followed behind.

On the castle tower, there are three corpses. These three people are Yan Su, Yang Hui and the generals who defend the city. At this time, the blood had coagulated, and the faces of the three had been deformed.

Wang Yan asked, "Why did the Taishan thief suddenly come to the city and kill the county commander?" ”

The soldier said: "Last night, more than 100 Tarzan thieves appeared outside the city. It's just that they wore the clothes of officers and soldiers, and they came back with Yan Sheng, the son of the county order. The county order and the main book happened to be on the city tower, and when they learned that Yan Sheng was dead, the county order went downstairs directly. Unexpectedly, the other party was pretended to be a Taishan thief, and the county order, the main bookkeeper and the generals guarding the city were defenseless and were all killed. ”

Yuan Shu interjected: "There is something greasy in this. ”

Wang Yan frowned and asked, "What's the?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "The Taishan thief came down the mountain, how could he turn to attack the county seat? ”

Wang Yan asked again: "Do you think, why did Zang Ba attack the county seat?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "You Wang Yan borrowed a knife to kill people and killed Yan Su. ”

Wang Yan stared at Yuan Shu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You said that I borrowed a knife to kill, but how could I borrow a knife to kill someone?" There are countless county guards killed by the Taishan thief Zang Ba, I'm a small county lieutenant, can I command Zang Ba? Who will believe this? Yuan Highway, even if you are a member of the Yuan family, you can't talk nonsense if you have something, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth. ”

Yuan Shu said: "You are a small county lieutenant, of course it is impossible to command Zang Ba. It's just that Zang Ba escaped from the mountain and was forced to kill Yan Su out of desperation. As for how to coerce Zang Ba, it is unknown. ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Yan's gaze turned to Jian Shuo, and said categorically: "General Jian, Yuan Shu is coming with you." Now that he said this, he thought that I had bad intentions, and I could no longer cooperate with General Jian to find the Xuanyuan Sword. Even if General Jian told the Son of Heaven about this, I would not be able to cooperate. I don't blame me, it's Yuan Shu's slander. ”

Jian Shuo's heart was cold, he looked at Yuan Shu, and scolded: "Yuan Highway, if you speak disrespectfully again, I will order the soldiers to send you back to Luoyang, and I will truthfully report the affairs of Nancheng County to His Majesty." ”

Yuan Shu's face was pale, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Jian Shuo then diverted his gaze, in fact, he didn't care about the life and death of Yan Su's father and son at all.

It is true that Yuan Shu's analysis has some truth, it may be that Wang Yan borrowed a knife to kill people. However, why did Zang Ba happen to meet Yan Su and Yang Hui on the city tower? And Wang Yan couldn't coerce Zang Ba, and it was difficult to deduce a lot of things.

Moreover, Jian Shuo came out this time, and what he needed was the Xuanyuan Sword. As long as the Xuanyuan Sword is found, a qiē is not a problem. Jian Shuo also needed Wang Yan to search for the Xuanyuan Sword, and it was impossible to do it.

Several reasons superimposed, and the director gave up the investigation.

Jian Shuo chuckled and said: "County Lieutenant Wang, Yan County Commander and Yang Master Book were killed, this is Nancheng County's own business, although I was assigned by His Majesty to search for Xuanyuan Sword in Nancheng County, but I can't interfere in the internal affairs of Nancheng County at will." You can report this matter to the county guard of Taishan County yourself, and I won't interfere. ”

Wang Yan arched his hand and said: "General Jian is worthy of being a person cultivated by the Son of Heaven, and his work is convincing. ”

At the mention of the Son of Heaven, Jian Shuo's face had a hint of glory. As a eunuch, the most powerful power comes from the emperor, so he cares very much about the emperor's opinion of him. Wang Yan said that he was cultivated by the Son of Heaven, and Jian Shuo was very comfortable in his heart.

Jian Shuo's mind turned, thinking that it was a favor anyway, and said: "As the saying goes, a snake can't be without a head, and Nancheng County will definitely have chaos without the county order and the main book to preside over government affairs." In my opinion, for the time being, the county lieutenant Wang will act as the county commander and handle government affairs. ”

Yuan Shao echoed: "That's right! ”

Cao Cao said: "If a county does not have a county order, it is indeed easy to cause chaos. County Lieutenant Wang temporarily acted as the county order, which is just right. ”

The three of them took the initiative to put it forward, Wang Yan naturally would not refuse, and said with a smile: "The three generals said so, if I refuse, it will be to ignore the overall situation of Nancheng County." Please rest assured, I will do my best to search for Xuanyuan Sword in one day in Nancheng County. ”

Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao all had smiles on their faces when they heard this.

What they wanted was the Xuanyuan Sword, and Wang Yan searched for it on behalf of the county commander, and this back and forth became a transaction.

Without the constraints of Jian Shuo and others, Wang Yan directly arranged for people to bury Yan Su and others. Immediately, soldiers were arranged to take over the city defense, and only then did they return to the barracks with the people. This time, Jian Shuo and Yuan Shu did not live in the county office, but lived in the military camp with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

In the afternoon, Wang Yan led people into the county government and directly dismissed the servants of the Yan family. Yan Su had many wives and concubines, and Wang Yan asked people to pay for settling in, and then dismissed the attendants and servants.

At the same time, Wang Yan asked Yang He to take someone to check the finances.

In the evening, Yang He came to the study. He stood in front of Wang Yan and said excitedly: "My lord, I have already checked all my belongings. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Tell me." ”

Yang He took a deep breath, adjusted his feelings, and said slowly: "This time I searched and found the title deeds of fifty high-class residences, the title deeds of 1,300 acres of fertile land, and ten boxes of rare treasures, one hundred large boxes of gold, and countless piles of copper coins. In addition, five hundred steel knives and countless bows and arrows were found in the storehouse. ”
