Liu Ze waved his hand and motioned for Pan Feng to untie him, Pan Feng hesitated for a moment, thinking that in addition to Liu Ze and himself, there were four Jinyingwei masters in this house, and they were not afraid of poison, so he untied him.

"Zhang Jiaobing's defeat was poor, and he was not allowed to kill himself with his talents, and he was not killed by Liu. When Zhang Jiao doesn't know the sky, he acts against the sky, and he has this defeat. Now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban are like rats crossing the street, they can't live in fear, and the general trend has gone, General Yu is a person who understands, doesn't he know how to judge the situation and protect his life? ”

Yu Poison rubbed his numb arm, Liu Ze's Liao Liao's words could be said to hit his vital point, since Zhang Jiao's defeat, the Yellow Turban forces have long been declining, and it is only a matter of time before they perish.

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Ze said again: "The ants are still stealing their lives, and General Yu has lofty ambitions, how can he be a person who is willing to be captured." The court did not recruit peace, but it was death, and surrender was death, but in the end, General Yu's mind was yes or no? ”

After Zhang Jiao's defeat, he led some brothers to flee to Bohai County, originally wanting to live in seclusion in the mountains, but the court wanted to paint and shadows, and there was no place for them. But I never expected that in eastern Hebei, there was a lot of noise, but I planted a big heel in the plains, and even my life was almost confessed here.

said that he was not afraid of death, it was false, but Yu Poison was caught by mistake, and he was expected to have no way out, so he was indignant for a while, so he said something that regarded death as home, but Liu Zexiao reasoned and pointed out a clear way for him. Seeing a glimmer of hope, how could Yu Poison not be moved? However, he was still worried that Liu Ze was teasing him.

"Yu is a prisoner of the court, you ...... Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? ”

Liu Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he was moved by the poison, but his face was still silent. "Liu Mou loves talents, so he rescues him, as for the identity of the general, as long as you don't say it yourself, how can others know."

Yu Poison no longer had any doubts, and immediately knelt down and bowed: "Yu Poison knocks to see the lord." Thank you for not killing. Yu Poison wishes only the lord and the horse are the first to look forward. ”

Liu Ze was overjoyed, and finally subdued this Yellow Turban warrior. At the moment, Pan Feng was ordered to lead Yu to the poison to live and settle down, but now Yu Poison's identity is special, and it is not appropriate to show his face. For the time being, I took a pseudonym. Hidden in the army.

After the rout of the Yellow Turbans. The plains were restored to calm, and the autumn harvest was completed smoothly. The cotton planted by Liu Ze also had a bumper harvest, and Liu Ze was overjoyed when he saw the large pile of snow white. The cottonseeds are carefully selected and taken out, and there are more than a dozen pockets neatly packed in them, and the planting area can be expanded next year, and more cotton can be harvested at that time.

It is obviously impossible to use such a little cotton to weave cloth, so Liu Ze used it to wlot a few quilts and mats, and gave Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jia Xu a set each. The weather in late autumn was already very cold, and with a soft cotton pad and a thick quilt, Liu Ze slept beautifully, feeling indescribably comfortable. Even Zhang Fei kept praising good things.

The embankment of the Yellow River was something that Liu Ze had never been at ease with, and after the winter break, Liu Ze shifted the focus of his work to the embankment of the Yellow River. Tens of thousands of people were requisitioned, hundreds of thousands of square meters of sand and gravel were mobilized, and large-scale reinforcement and maintenance of the dangerous section of the Yellow River were carried out.

The overflow of the Yellow River at the beginning of the year left a deep and painful impression on the people of the plains, so every household actively dispatched strong men to assist Liu Ze County in repairing the embankment. Liu Ze, who originally relied only on forced labor and was afraid of a shortage of manpower, was completely relieved, and he was concerned about his personal interests, and the people's consciousness and enthusiasm were still quite high.

As winter turns to spring, the young pigeons that were hatched last year can now spread their wings and fly high, and a large flock of pigeons soars freely in mid-air around the loft, chirping happily.

Liu Ze put his hands on the pergola, watched the pigeons flying in circles in the air, and secretly thought that it was time to release the pigeons.

At this time, Pan Feng hurried over to report: "Lord, Qingzhou Thorn Shi sent a superintendent to Pingyuan County to inspect, Ding County Cheng and Wu County Lieutenant have already welcomed the superintendent into the post house, and sent a message, please come over immediately." ”

Superintendent of Postal Services (Note 1)? Liu Ze was slightly stunned, it seems that what should come will come after all, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. At that moment, he put on his official uniform and got up and went to the post house in Pingyuan County.

Ding Xiancheng and Wu Xianwei both stood at the foot of the stairs at this time, with a humble attitude, and one of the people on the main seat was short and fat, with a round face and a double chin, and squinted small eyes, presumably it was the post supervisor who came to inspect.

Liu Ze stepped forward and saluted: "The lower official has seen the post superintendent." ”

The superintendent looked Liu Ze up and down, squinted his eyes and said, "Who are you?" ”

Ding County hurriedly introduced: "Cheng Inspector, this is the order of Liu County in this county. ”

Cheng Duyou raised his eyebrows and said: "When the official arrives in the county, the county officials of all sizes are here, why is your Liu County Order late?" There was a reproach in the rhetoric.

Liu Ze said in his heart, this guy started picking bones in the eggs as soon as he entered the door.

"On the return journey, the subordinate was delayed due to official business, and he was unable to meet him from afar, and he begged for forgiveness for his sins."

Before Cheng Duyou could speak, the little officials around him scolded him: "What official business is delayed? It is clear that he does not take the post superintendent in his eyes, what is the crime of being so contemptuous? ”

Liu Ze glanced up, the little official was obviously just a follower of the post superintendent, and he didn't even have a rank, but he was just relying on the fake tiger power of the post superintendent, and even a small follower was so arrogant, which showed how big a fortune this post supervisor was.

"How dare the subordinate officials scorn the postal supervision, they are really busy with official business and can't take time out." Liu Ze said neither humbly nor arrogantly. In the Plains City, even the 2,000-stone Plains Prime Minister had to give Liu Ze three points of thin noodles, and the superintendent was only an official of about 400 stones, but he dared to show off his might here, just relying on the patrol privilege given by the assassin history.

The little official wanted to say something more, but Cheng Duyou glanced at him, and he didn't dare to speak again. Cheng Duyou squeezed out a smile that was more difficult to see than crying, in order to show that he had a lot of adults.

"What is the origin of Liu County?"

"After the lower official is the king of Zhongshan Jing, he has raised troops from Zhuo County to suppress the yellow turbans, and he has fought more than ten battles in various sizes, and he has made a little merit, so he has to be awarded this position." Liu Ze said plainly.

Cheng Duyou's face sank, and he shouted: "You pretended to be the emperor, lied about your military exploits, and issued an edict from the court a few days ago, and you are trying to sand you and other abusive officials!" ”

The county lieutenant of Ding County and Wu County was shocked, and he only promised.

Liu Ze didn't take him seriously at all, and Liu Ze was not stunned in the palace hall, how could he be frightened by a few words from Cheng Duyou? At the moment, he said proudly: "Pretending to be the emperor is the crime of killing the head, how dare the lower officials talk nonsense!" If Cheng Duyou doesn't believe it, he can go to the Zongzheng Mansion in the capital to check and see if the name of the lower official can be in the clan's roster? ”

What kind of place is Zongzheng Mansion, and how can he get involved in it as a small superintendent, Cheng Duyou couldn't imagine that Liu Ze would dare to speak against him, and couldn't help but be angry: "You ......"

Liu Ze didn't understand his feelings at all, and said coldly: "As for whether or not he lied about his military exploits, the lower officials have served under the command of Huangfu Cheqi, Zhu Cheqi, and Youzhou Mu Liu Envoyjun, and they may all come out to testify for Xiaguan. ”

As soon as Cheng Duyou heard the names of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu and others, his face instantly turned green, and cold sweat was dripping, these people were all first-class ministers in the court, and he was afraid that he didn't even have the qualifications to lift shoes, so he went to Huangfu Song for verification, isn't that looking for death?

Cheng Duyou inspected many counties along the way, and that one official was not only submissive, and he didn't even dare to gasp for the atmosphere, but this plain county order was not only not welcome but also disrespectful, but the backstage he moved out of was not something that ordinary people dared to offend, it seems that this time it hit the iron plate. Cheng Du said curtly: "That's not necessary. This time, this official was ordered by Gong Envoy Jun to inspect the counties, and hoped that the counties would cooperate with each other. ”

"Cheng Governor Post is responsible for supervising the post, how dare the subordinate not cooperate, tomorrow the subordinate official should present the county office account book for the superintendent to inspect. The lower official still has important things to do, so I will not be able to accompany him and say goodbye! Liu Ze no longer paid attention to his feelings and left directly.

After returning to the county office, Ding Xiancheng said worriedly: "The superintendent is so pretentious, it is nothing more than to ask for a bribe, Liu County only responded, and gave him some money to send away, why bother to contradict it?" If he gets in the way, I'm afraid that Liu County will make his career worrying. ”

Liu Ze smiled and said, "Since I, Liu Ze, have committed no crimes in Yu Minqiu, what property can I give him?" What's more, my accounts are clear, and it's probably not so easy for him to frame and slander, right? ”

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no word, this Cheng Governor is greedy by nature, I am afraid that it will not work, and another plan will be implemented, and Liu County Ling still has to deal with it carefully." Ding Xiancheng shook his head and sighed.

Liu Ze didn't care at all, he didn't even have a bird at the beginning, and how could he take it in his eyes as a little superintendent. went out and said to Pan Feng: "Where is Yide?" ”

"The third master was bored in the city, and rode out of the city to relax." Pan Feng reciprocated truthfully.

Liu Ze nodded, it's good that Zhang Fei is not there, otherwise according to his fiery temper, he will have to cause some trouble.

"Ziyi, you keep an eye on it, the post supervisor casually let him check it, he is not afraid of the shadow, I haven't been greedy for a penny, he can't find the slightest handle when he turns over the account book. It's that the third master has a bad temper, so don't let him meet with the superintendent. Liu Ze specially told Pan Feng not to let Zhang Fei contact with the post supervisor, anyway, they wouldn't stay long in the post supervisor, and they couldn't help him if they couldn't find any problems.

(Note 1: The post superintendent was originally a county official, and his duties were to represent the county under the Taishou patrol, the chief inspector and the post office, announce the fatwa, and also arrest the dead, etc.) In order to write this book, the superintendent of the post is specially changed to the appointment of the assassin history, and scholars do not need to study it deeply.
