Chapter 2, take it easy

Hearing the words "Tian Yu", Zu Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sighed: "It turns out that you are Tian Yu!" ”

Tian Yu nodded, although he didn't know how Zu Zhao knew his name, he didn't seem so surprised, he believed that the eldest uncle must have mentioned it to him when he was alive. He sniffed again, controlled the sadness in his heart, and plucked up his confidence and said: "My eldest uncle's martyrdom in the city was a righteous act, which made people sigh, but he was blamed, and the guy surnamed Wang was the culprit. The eldest prince resolutely beheaded this thief, and really avenged my eldest uncle. Such great kindness is unforgettable. ”

Zu Zhao sighed: "It's a pity that I came too late, and I procrastinated too much." If I hadn't been busy setting up an ambush after arriving at the county government, but had asked about the whereabouts of the king's surname Pifu Tian Gongcao, I might have been able to catch ......up." Speaking of this, even he himself was a little sad. When he intercepted Wang Xianjun's family in the east of the city, he didn't know that Tian Xian was detained by Wang Xianjun in the county government compound, otherwise he would have been able to save Tian Xian if he arrived in time.

Tian Yu shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with the eldest son, don't you say that one person is small, and everyone is big, and everyone should focus on the overall situation at that time; What's more, I heard from the next that the eldest uncle may have been martyred long before the eldest prince arrived in the county government, and he must have watched the king thief load the car and flee, and the righteous indignation was unbearable, so he chose to die Mingzhi. ”

After listening to Tian Yu's words, Zu Zhao felt a little better in his heart, and at the same time, he also saw Tian Yu's young and intelligent side, not only could he infer through his words, but also knew how to distinguish the overall situation. He sighed again, took out the appearance of his brother and said, "The matter has come to this point, I just hope that the little brother will not be too sad." Tian Gong Cao Yi Festival is the first, it must be an example for our generation, I hope that Tian Gong Cao's spirit in the sky can rest in peace. ”

Tian Yu suddenly fell silent, his expression was still sad, but there was even more hesitation.

After waiting for a while, Zu Zhao asked, "Little brother, if you still have any difficulties, you can tell me that where my Zu Zhao can help, I will do my best." ”

Tian Yu seemed to regain his courage and said very seriously: "The world is not ancient, people's hearts are scattered, and the world will be in chaos." The eldest prince is a person who does great things, and he is willing to follow the eldest prince and really do some man's work, so that he is worthy of the uncle's earnest teachings. Please also ask the eldest prince to promise. ”

Zu Zhao suddenly cried and laughed, and honestly said that he had already befriended Tian Yu's idea, even if the other party was young, but to establish this connection and relationship, it would definitely be useful in the future. A rare historical general like Tian Yu naturally has the mind to be close to the water. However, he really didn't expect that he hadn't had time to make friends with Tian Yu, and at this time Tian Yu took the initiative to block the road and ask for help, there was really a feeling of "happiness came too suddenly".

After a little contemplation, he smiled and said, "Little brother, you are young, it is the time to enlighten learning, but now you have come to see me outside the city alone, does your family know?" ”

Tian Yu frowned, as if he was nodding his head in pain by Zu Zhao's words, and he said in a low voice: "This time I am indeed going out in private, and my parents are still busy with the funeral of my eldest uncle...... However, I only need to repair a letter later, telling me the reason, and I believe that my father and mother should understand. ”

Zu Zhao smiled: "You can't say that. You are not yet an adult, and your parents should be in charge of the affairs of the family. Although I know your uncle well, I can't make decisions for you on my own. ”

Tian Yu was a little unconvinced, and said in a positive voice: "The eldest prince keeps saying that he is young, but you are not younger than me. Next year, he will be thirteen years old, and then he will be fourteen years old in June. I heard that the eldest prince went out to study at the age of nine and studied under the great Confucian Lu Zhi. It's not inappropriate to defect to the eldest prince at the age of thirteen. If the eldest prince is really a big person, then he should be decisive in the face of things, why bother so much prevarication. ”

Zu Zhao was stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a temperamental person at a young age.

Not only him, but even Zu Cheng, Zu Ji, Han Dang and others not far behind him laughed when they heard Tian Yu's words, and they only felt that this villain was really interesting.

Zu Zhao naturally hoped to entrap Tian Yu, but if he took him with him like this now, there would inevitably be a lot of inconvenience. The most important thing is that Tian Yu is really young, and he didn't greet his parents on this trip, so outsiders will think that he was kidnapped and abducted. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said in a very serious tone: "Little brother, you have the heart to go out and have a career, which is also very similar to me. A man should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements. Do you think this is good, I agreed with you that as long as your parents agree at any time, you can come to Xu Wuzujiazhuang to find me at any time, how about it? ”

Tian Yu was a little disappointed, he lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Zu Zhao sighed slightly, patted Tian Yu's shoulder, and said: "You can also see that this world is not ancient, people's hearts are scattered, and the world will inevitably be in chaos. I can even assert that within two months, there will be earth-shaking changes in my Youzhou and even the world. If you really have ambitions, you will be ready for life in these two months. Once the time is ripe, you can come to Xu Wu to find me, and you and I will create a great cause together. ”

His tone was sincere and sincere, as if he had put on a heartfelt attitude.

Tian Yu couldn't help but be moved, so he didn't go any further, he nodded solemnly and responded: "Okay." The eldest prince said a lot, and he accepted the words of the eldest prince. ”

Subsequently, Zu Zhao collected some silver taels from his entourage and handed them to Tian Yu to hand them over to Tian Xian's family.

Although the day before yesterday, when he personally came to the door to pay his respects, he also gave a sum of silver taels to the Tian family, but presumably the Tian family has lost its pillars, not only need money now, but also need it in the future. At first, Tian Yu insisted that he would not accept it, but Zu Zhao repeatedly emphasized that the money was given to Uncle Tian Yu and not to Tian Yu, so Tian Yu should not make an arbitrary decision, and should be transferred to the hands of the eldest uncle's widow, and his widow should decide on the situation. Tian Yu couldn't prevaricate, so he could only agree.

Zu Zhao asked Zu Ji to ride a horse to carry Tian Yu back to Lingzhi, and he led the team on the road slowly, and Zu Ji sent Tian Yu into the city and then quickly returned to meet him.

It was already evening when they returned to Xu Wuxian, and Zu Zhao and his party were finally triumphant, thinking that they would win the welcome of the villagers, but they didn't expect to see everything along the way was deserted, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious. He had just arrived at a market on the outskirts of the city, and he planned to rest here first, anyway, it was still some time before dark, so he was not in a hurry to enter the city immediately. At this moment, from the tea shed on the side of the market road, a figure suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards Zu Zhao's side.

Han, who was still on horseback, had sharp eyes and immediately shouted, "What person?" ”

Gulinar, who was closest to Zu Zhao, rushed forward with one arrow step, blocking in front of Zu Zhao, pressing one hand on the waist knife.

Zu Zhao didn't look slow, slowly raised his hand and pulled Gulinar, he said: "Don't be nervous, it's your own person." As early as the man rushed out of the tea shed, he had already seen the other party, and that person was Wu Yang of the scout team.

Wu Yang had to return to Xu Wu earlier than Zu Zhao and the others, and it was reasonable to come to the outskirts of the city at this time to wait for the pick-up.

However, Wu Yang's face was very nervous, and he quickly came to Zu Zhao, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Eldest prince, don't enter the city, hurry up." ”

Zu Zhao's face changed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Yang's voice remained unchanged, and he said hurriedly: "The general of the Che Cavalry wants to take you, saying that you killed the magistrate of Lingzhi County without permission, and he committed the following crimes, and his heart is not right." The people sent by Jixian County are waiting in the city to arrest you at this time, and the third grandfather said, let you not enter the city for the time being, and take shelter outside first, the family is dredging up the relationship in Xiangshang these days to see if you can resolve the matter. ”

After listening to Wu Yang's words, Zu Zhao had many doubts in his heart, he originally thought that Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot cavalry, admired him, and in addition, he didn't even blame the county guard of Liaoxi County for killing Wang Xianjun, why did Zhang Wen have to make a big fuss about this matter? Take 10,000 steps back, even if the killing of Wang Xianjun is inappropriate, it will not be Zhang Wen's turn to ask himself for the crime, this is Youzhou, and it should be Youzhou's assassination.

Zu Cheng, Zu Ji and others had already surrounded them, and they were also surprised at this time, and they all screamed injustice.

"Why do you take the eldest prince? The eldest prince repelled the thief, and instead of rewarding the merits, he was guilty of the crime, how can this be justified? ”

"That is, what if you kill the surnamed Wang, leave your post without permission, abandon the city and flee privately, this is a felony!"

"Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Wu Yang was anxious, sighed, and said, "What is going on, it is not clear now. It's just that the elders of the family told him to wait for the eldest prince here, and advised the eldest prince not to enter the city. ”

Zu Zhao has a lot of things that he can't figure out, and Zhang Wen insists on doing this, it must not be because he killed Wang Xianjun without permission, but just to use this reason to achieve another purpose. If he doesn't go into the city now and leave, he can indeed avoid Zhang Wen's arrest, but everything he has accumulated in the county during this time will be in vain, and seeing that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to break out, what kind of climate can he become when he is alone?

Of course, if his life was at stake, he would definitely not take the risk easily. But as far as the killing of Wang Xianjun is concerned, he has a clear conscience, even if Zhang Wen wants to chase after him, it is absolutely impossible to condemn himself to death. In addition, the relationship between the ancestral family in Youzhou has been dredged up and down, and the crisis can be resolved, as long as the entire investigation and trial can be delayed for a period of time.

He is well aware that Zhang Jiao's official unveiling of the pole was in February this year, and now it is the end of the first month, and there are only more than ten days left before the large-scale riots occur. Once the world is in chaos, it is impossible for Zhang Wen to have extra thoughts to entangle this matter. At that time, he can even take the initiative to sell a good man, expressing his willingness to lead his clan to help the official army fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves. Even if Zhang Wen still doesn't accept it, Liu Yan, who is the assassin of Youzhou, will not hesitate to give up his talent. You must know that Jixian County is also a key area of the Yellow Turban Disaster.

Thinking of this, Zu Zhao took a slow breath, and said: "There must be a misunderstanding in this matter, if I leave here, this matter will definitely fall deeper and deeper." I would rather see General Zhang in person, clarify the original situation with him, and resolve the matter once and for all. ”

Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

Wu Yang looked a little flustered, now that the ancestral family has been monitored, it took him a lot of effort to sneak out, but the eldest prince still insists on entering the city, isn't this a fool of himself? He hurriedly said: "Eldest son, it's this time, you must not be rash. ”

Zu Zhao's face did not change, and he said in a firm and unquestionable tone: "This matter is very important, and it is by no means a matter of leaving. Obviously, General Zhang's intention is not to kill Wang Xianjun in my ancestor, I am afraid there must be another reason. If I leave like this, it will only make General Zhang's misunderstanding deeper, and my ancestral family will be implicated. ”

Wu Yang originally wanted to say something more, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt that this matter was indeed extraordinary, and he was at a loss for a while, so he could only remain silent.

Behind them, Zu Cheng and Zu Ji were the most anxious, where could they say a clear truth about such a grievance? Zu Cheng was very dissatisfied and said: "What the hell is this, if the eldest prince enters the city, he will definitely suffer from prison." The eldest prince is also a great hero in repelling thieves and rogues, if it spreads, wouldn't it be chilling? ”

Zu Ji followed and chimed in: "That's it, what kind of broken general, I don't know what is wrong, and I don't distinguish between right and wrong." People are far away in Jixian County, how can they know what happened in Beiping County, our right? ”

Han Dang wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and at this time he felt that it was better not to interject, although he also didn't want Zu Zhao to take any risks.

Zu Zhao turned around and looked at Zu Cheng, Zu Ji and the others, the doubts on his face before were gone, and he was replaced by calm, he said: "I know you have good intentions, but it's still the same sentence, since I have already decided, you don't need to say anything else." Let's go, let's go into the city together, and remember, no matter what happens, don't fight each other, don't make a big fuss, understand? ”

Zu Ji and Zu Cheng were helpless, so they could only nod and agree.

At this time, Gu Linar pulled Zu Zhao's sleeve, and she looked at Zu Zhao faintly, as if she had a lot to say.

Zu Zhao smiled at the orchid beauty in front of him and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

The children of the ancestral family drove into the city in a majestic manner, and under Zu Zhao's repeated emphasis, even if the big guys knew that there was a hidden crisis in the city, they all raised their waists as much as possible, showing a majestic appearance. Many families probed their brains to look out, and many people who were not yet aware of it came out of the house to greet the young people of the ancestral family and warmly welcome their return. After all, it is on behalf of Xu Wuxian to support Lingzhi County, which can be regarded as a matter of pride for the county.

When he was about to pass the county hall, a dozen or so fast horses galloped across the street. Most of the knights on horseback were dressed as princesses, and there were a few guards in beautiful armor. Zu Zhao subconsciously slowed down his horse's speed, waiting for these people to gradually get closer.

The leader on the opposite side was Shen Yuan, dressed in a polite and polite manner, and even his posture on horseback was a little awkward. On Shen Yuan's side was Wang Wei, who, like Shen Yuan, was a civilian official, who mostly traveled by car on weekdays and rarely rode a horse.

Shen Yuan came to Zu Zhao, his expression was still a little vigilant, after all, Zu Zhao was followed by one or two hundred heavily armed warriors, so he was afraid that he would make some trouble. When the horse's hooves stopped, he said to Zu Zhao politely: "You are Zu Zhao?" I am Shen Yuan, who is engaged in the governance of the Youzhou Assassin Mansion, and I am specially ordered by this matter to make a special trip to investigate the death of Wang Xianjun in Lingzhi County. You should first dismiss your subordinates and follow me to the county government for questioning. ”

Zu Zhao was just about to turn his head and confess, but how did he know that Zu Ji behind him was still anxious, and muttered uncontrollably: "Why does General Zhang want to take my eldest son, since he wants to take people, he has to be charged." Lingzhi County abandoned the city and fled privately, regardless of the safety of the people, what is wrong with my eldest son killing him? ”

Shen Yuan's face was embarrassed, he knew the purpose of Liu Yuanjun sending him here, and Wang Wei was beside him at this time, and the other party openly talked about General Zhang, and he didn't take Liu Yuanjun seriously. But after all, because Wang Wei was present, he didn't say much, so he could only say nothing with a black face.

Wang Wei snorted coldly, and reprimanded angrily: "Where did the yellow-mouthed erector come from, and dare to question the general?" Those who know each other should leave quickly, otherwise, they will take you together to ask for guilt. ”

Zu Ji exclaimed angrily: "You come and try!" As he spoke, he raised the halberd in his hand.

Shen Yuan's black face instantly turned pale again, and he subconsciously shrank back. Not only him, but the other attachΓ©s in the same company were also nervous, complaining that Wang Wei had nothing to do, and he was really going to force these local heroes, not to mention that they could handle the case smoothly, but they were afraid that it would be a problem to leave this place smoothly. They all know in their hearts that there is a rebellion going on in Youbeiping County at this moment!

At this moment, Zu Zhao turned around and glared at Zu Ji, and said, "Ah Ji, Hugh is rude. You step down for me. Ah Cheng, you take everyone back to the village first, and everyone takes off their armor and returns it to the county treasury. ”

Zu Cheng didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "Return the county treasury?" ”

Zu Zhao gave him a serious look, and didn't say anything more.

Zu Cheng understood and solemnly agreed: "Yes." ”

After the children of the ancestral family left, Zu Zhao bowed to Shen Yuan and said, "Don't blame Lord Shen, they are all young and crazy and ignorant. I'll go to the county government with the adults. ”

In the past two days, Shen Yuan had also inquired about Zu Zhao's reputation in Xu Wuxian, and today he saw that the other party was really humble and polite, and he suddenly had a good impression in his heart. He smiled and said, "Where is it, the young man has momentum, is this also understandable?" ”――
