Chapter 218:-for-tat

"Whether it is a secret yellow scarf or not, the official needs to find out before he can make a conclusion, but since someone reported it, the official can't turn a blind eye. Liu County order, this official acts according to the law, your subordinates openly resist arrest and disobey orders, what crime should you be guilty of? Liu Ping put on a triumphant face.

"If they are not at fault, how can they resist arrest? However, Liu Duwei listened to the false rumors and mobilized the people, I'm afraid he has to give an explanation, right? "Liu Ze is neither humble nor arrogant,-for-tat.

Liu Ping laughed, pointed to the hundreds of soldiers behind Guan Hai who were fully armored and equipped with blades in their hands, and said: "Liu County Order, your subordinates can't understand the yellow scarf for the time being, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, anyone who secretly hides weapons can be guilty of killing the head, so many of your subordinates, but the fire stick in your hand can't be done?" ”

"Possession of weapons? Joke! Captain Liu, do you know where these soldiers come from? They are all fighting in the south and the north under the command of the emperor's chariot, and the warriors of a hundred battles in the bloody field, all of them have a military register, how can they say that they have hidden weapons privately? "When the yellow scarf was broken, Liu Ze's archers were organized, and they ate food and received wages.

Liu Ping's face changed sharply, are they really Huangfu Song's subordinates? Liu Ping really didn't know this, but Liu Ze was firm, and it was estimated that eight or nine would not be far from ten, and it should not be wrong. But Liu Ping is here to find fault today, if he can't defeat Liu Ze today, his face will be lost.

"No matter who their subordinates are, today in Plains City, they have their own officials to maintain law and order, and some people have reported that they harbor yellow turban traitors here, and the duties of this official cannot but be investigated. Liu County Order, if you don't order your subordinates to lay down their weapons and be inspected. Hugh blames the official for making a move. Liu Ping said viciously.

Liu Ze's face also sank, and he said sharply: "Weapons are the lives of soldiers, if you want them to put down their weapons, it's very simple, just step on their corpses!" However, if Liu Duwei insisted on this, the lower officials would not dare to guarantee that there would be any accidents! ”

"If you refuse to check, it means that you have a ghost in your heart, and it seems that this harboring yellow turban is going to be committed, and the matter of fornicating with the yellow turban traitor must not be wrong. Liu County Order, if you don't hand over the Yellow Turban today. Don't blame the official for being polite! Liu Ping smirked.

Liu Ze pulled him to Wu Anguo. Said: "Dingbang, sue Liu Duwei, how many Yellow Turban thieves have you killed?" ”

Wu Anguo carried a sledgehammer and held his chest high. Said proudly: "The yellow turban thief who died under Wu's hammer." There are no thousands. There are also eight hundred, look at Wu's pair of sledgehammers, they have long been dyed black and purple by the blood! ”

Liu Ze turned around and said loudly to his subordinate archers: "You were all powerful men who fought bloody battles and killed enemies and thieves. For the court and the country have made great achievements, and have killed countless Yellow Turban thieves, today someone poured the dirty water of the fornication Yellow Turban on you, do you agree? ”

"No!" Five hundred archers shouted in unison, and the crowd was passionate and thunderous.

"Your glory is fought with a sword and a gun, and it is bought with blood and life, and what should you do if someone insults you?"

"Defend to the death! No insults! ”

Five hundred archers with red eyes, clenched swords and guns, bows in their hands, arrows on the strings, and pressed up in rows, with momentum like rainbows.

The county soldiers under Liu Ping had seen such a formation, and they were terrified for a while, and they all involuntarily retreated backwards. Liu Ping was also born as a gentleman, although he looked like a dog in front of the captain, in fact, he had never been on the battlefield at all, and the murderous aura of five hundred archers and horsemen made him shudder.

The squires who came over to see the excitement were even more frightened. Squire Qian hurriedly whispered to Liu Ping: "Captain Liu, the shape is not good, let's withdraw." ”

Liu Ping was also hesitating, but today's situation was already a tiger, if he really retreated so gloomily, he would be a loser. He is also the number one person in Plains City, and he can't afford to lose his face. He forced up his spirit and shouted: "It's the other way around, come on, don't take down all these anti-thieves." ”

Although he shouted and scolded, there was obviously a trill in his voice, and his confidence was not enough. Those county soldiers were even more frightened, although the lieutenant gave the order, but none of them dared to go forward.

Liu Ze secretly sneered in his heart, this Liu Ping seems to be arrogant on weekdays, but in his bones he is a fierce and inward-looking guy, and he is useless, this kind of waste is also worthy of being an opponent, it is really a big joke.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a group of people in the east of the street came around an official sedan chair, and one person came down from the sedan chair, which was Lin Hai, the minister of the Plains Country. He hurried to the spot, glanced at Liu Ze and Liu Ping in the confrontation, and said, "Captain Liu, Liu County Order, why are you arguing?" ”

When Liu Ping saw Lin Hai come forward, he secretly settled down, and bowed his hand: "Prime Minister of the country, the lower official received a report that there were people in the Ma family compound who were secretly hiding weapons and harboring yellow scarves, and they came to investigate, and they didn't want to be Liu County's subordinates." The lower officials did not dare to bend the law for personal gain, and wanted to find out, but Liu County's order insisted on obstructing it, and there must be something strange in it, and he asked Lin Guoxiang to adjudicate. ”

Lin Hai nodded slightly, didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Liu Ze.

Liu Ze stepped forward and said: "These subordinates of mine are all warriors who have followed the Huangfu chariot to fight on the battlefield, and they have a common enmity with the Yellow Turban traitors. We and other soldiers are unwilling to be humiliated, so we swear to fight to the death, and ask Lin Guoxiang to learn from it. ”

"Duwei Liu, you said that Liu County's subordinates are suspected of fornicating with the Yellow Turban, do you have definite evidence?" Lin Hai turned his head and asked Liu Ping again.

Where did Liu Ping get any evidence, and said hesitantly: "Xiaguan also received a secret report that someone in the Ma family's compound was secretly hiding weapons and harboring yellow scarves...... If the lower officials can enter the hospital for inspection, they will definitely be able to find evidence. ”

Lin Hai laughed loudly and said: "It seems that this is a misunderstanding, someone must be obstructing it, and someone is trying to frame Liu County." However, Liu Duwei can be regarded as conscientious in his duties and has no fault, so Liu Duwei will retire and return to the battalion, and the matter will be over. Both of you are important members of my plains, so don't hurt your peace. Liu Xianling no longer has to blame Liu Duwei for his reckless actions. ”

Liu Ze looked at it coldly, this Lin Hai can really make peace with the mud, but this matter is so good, it is also beyond Liu Ze's expectations, and he said with a smile at the moment: "Liu Duwei is responsible for the defense of the plain city, how dare he blame him, I just hope that Liu Duwei will not listen to the villain's slander, fall into the villain's divisive plan, and lose harmony between the civil and military, so that those young people can take advantage of it." ”

Liu Ping looked depressed, but Lin Hai said so, he couldn't refute Lin Hai's face, snorted heavily, and no longer paid attention to everyone, and spurred the horse away.

"Look...... This ......" Lin Hai said helplessly, "This Liu Duwei is used to flying in the plains, and even the official has to give him three points, and Liu County Commander also invites a lot of Haihan." ”

"The lower officials have just arrived, and they have offended a lot, so please bear with me."

After a few words, Lin Hai also said goodbye and left.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed over from the county office, and Zhang Fei complained from afar: "Big brother, you are really unkind, if you hide such a big thing from us from time to time, are we still brothers?" ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Thank you for not coming, if you come, you will have to cause a big disaster, just your temper of the Fire God, and don't pull off that Liu Ping's head." ”

"That's, it's a good thing that kid is fast, otherwise I would have pulled his head off and used it as a night pot!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

Liu Ze ignored him, turned back to Guan Hai and said: "Ziqian, you handled this matter very properly, reasonably, favorably and modestly, which not only prevented Liu Ping's conspiracy from succeeding, but also avoided the expansion of the situation. ”

Guan Hai smiled honestly and said: "I didn't think about it so much, but even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came and wanted me to disarm and surrender, it wouldn't be possible!" ”

Guan Yu said: "This Liu Ping is really a narrow-minded person, he just suffered a little loss yesterday, and today he will take revenge for himself, such a villain, I am afraid that he will not succeed and use a plan, and the eldest brother should be on guard as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay, Liu Pingse is very inward-looking, but he is an easy master to deal with, but Lin Hai's attitude is ambiguous, which is intriguing." Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said, "Regardless of him, today's task is heavy, so let's deal with the official business at hand first." ”

As soon as Lin Hai returned home, Liu Ping and a few squires rushed over. Liu Ping was obviously very unhappy, and said to Lin Hai: "Lin Guoxiang, you and I have been working together for a long time, why are you helping outsiders today?" ”

Lin Hai smiled slightly, and did not mean to be surprised by Liu Ping's rude attitude at all, but invited them to sit down to serve tea.

"Captain Liu, you and I have been officials of the same country for many years, and we get along very well, how can we lose your friendship for the sake of a newly arrived county commander."

Lin Hai treated him politely, and Liu Ping was embarrassed to show his attitude again. "Then why did Prime Minister Lin help that erector today? Today, I finally seized an opportunity to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

"Liu Duwei, do you know where Liu Ze came from? Is there a background to the DPRK and China? Lin Hai sipped the tea and said leisurely.

Liu Ping really didn't know, he couldn't help but be speechless. "This ...... How big of a background can a small county order have? If he really has someone in the court, why should he be a county magistrate. ”

Lin Hai put down the tea bowl and said earnestly: "Captain Liu, the art of war is cloudy: only by knowing the other can you survive a hundred battles." If I hadn't come forward to stop you today, I'm afraid I would have really gotten into a catastrophe! ”

"This ...... Could it be that this shaft really has a backstage? Liu Ping was stunned, to be honest, he really didn't know where Liu Ze came from, but in Pingyuan Country, his Liu Ping family was the number one scholar, and even Prime Minister Lin Hai had to give him some face, and Liu Ping didn't look at it at all in the small Pingyuan County.
