Jixian County, Youzhou Thorn History.

Liu Yan is worried about the official documents submitted by various counties in the state in recent days, and most of the counties in the state have incidents, especially Youbeiping County, which is the most worry-free. Of course, behind this series of events, what is really worrying is the growing power of Taiping Road and Huma's offense.

As a history of Youzhou assassination, Liu Yan has seriously thought about the various difficulties faced by the state, and Hu Ma has committed crimes every year, which is already a top priority that is understandable; But in any case, he can't mention the importance of Taiping Dao, just like most other state assassins and county Taishou, although he has heard from time to time that Taiping Dao party members gather to make trouble, but after all, they have not made any name, it is nothing more than a small fight.

However, just as his attention was focused on the affairs of Youbeiping County, but the Right Beiping County successively submitted documents on the rectification of Taiping Road, Xu Wu County and Pinggang County were all happy to put Buddha as if they were tired of it, and there were petitions sent every three or five times, so that recently I always saw the crisis theory about Taiping Dao, and I had to take this matter to heart.

Right Beiping County is in trouble when thieves are in trouble, but he still solemnly reports the matter of Taiping Dao, Liu Yan is not a pedantic person, he can naturally see the importance of it. Coupled with the rumors outside now, the momentum of Taiping Road is getting more and more crazy, and it really can't be taken lightly. Therefore, he had to seriously think about how to start rectifying Taiping Dao, at least not to make Taiping Dao more troublesome in Youzhou.

Not long ago, he consulted with several of his subordinates, but these people either didn't think that Taiping Dao would be a big problem at all, or the rectification plan proposed was nonsense, a measure that would not cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and if it was not done well, it would only exacerbate the people's resentment against the government.

Liu Yan decided to issue an order to prohibit the people of all counties from engaging in Taiping Dao activities, and also strictly restricted all Taiping Dao preaching matters. Just after transcribing the order of the assassination, he didn't have time to put down his pen in a hurry, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the main hall, and a small official ran to the door with a panicked expression, bowed and saluted inside.

"Why are you so flustered?" Liu Yan held a pen in his hand and asked out the door in confusion.

"My lord, something is wrong. Right Beiping County quickly came to report, Xu Wu County Bai Shen Zu Zhao crossed the county to Lingzhi, and killed the county jun of Lingzhi County, Liaoxi County. The little official didn't care about panting, and said hurriedly.

"What? Are you saying that Xu Wuxian also has a rebellion? Liu Yan was startled, the pen in his hand slapped heavily on the case, jumped up, and asked.

"Huh?" The little official didn't react for a while, and after being stunned for a long time, he explained, "Lord Hui, it's not that someone in Xu Wuxian is making trouble. Here's the thing, just the night before yesterday, Lingzhi County was suddenly robbed by two bandits, and Xu Wuxian Zuzhao was invited by Lingzhi County to take the county to the rescue. As a result, after Nazu Zhao repelled the city robbers, he suddenly investigated and found that the county magistrate of Lingzhi County had disregarded the safety of the county seat, and abandoned the city and fled when the city gate was lost, which almost caused Lingzhi County to fall into the hands of thieves. Zu Zhao was furious, and he ordered the county magistrate of Zhixian to correct the law on the spot. ”

After listening to the little official, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no chaos in the county town, other things can be solved slowly, not to mention that just listening to the little official's return is not a big deal. He had long heard of the reputation of Xu Wuxian Zuzhao, who was sixteen years old, outstanding, and had defeated the thieves many times, and he was quite stylish, and he was really a young hero. Since the county magistrate of the county is afraid that the thieves will abandon the city and flee privately, he has already committed an unforgivable crime, and he will be corrected on the spot, so there is no need to make such a fuss.

He sat down again without hurrying, picked up the pen that was slapped on the case, returned to a calm state, and said: "Lingzhi County Jun abandoned the city and fled privately, is this matter conclusive?" ”

The little official replied: "This matter has ordered the county government to testify jointly for many officials, and it should be conclusive. ”

Liu Yan exhaled slightly, and said slowly: "Since it is a conclusive matter, then there is no need to be too tight, just leave it to the county to deal with." That's it, that's it. ”

The little official shook his head helplessly, his expression became anxious again, and he hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, Zu Zhao's killing of the county magistrate of Lingzhi County may not be a big deal, but, but I don't know how, this matter is known to the general of the chariot horse." General Zhang attached great importance to this matter, saying that Zu Zhaobai was a man who killed the county official without permission, and his heart was not right, and he committed the following retrograde acts, which should not be connived at. I heard that General Zhang Da had already sent someone to Xu Wuxian at this time. ”

Liu Yan was stunned and asked strangely, "Why does General Zhang attach so much importance to this matter?" ”

I have to say that he is still a little estranged from Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot cavalry, even though he knows that Zhang Wen is a politically assertive person and a very upright person in the big aspect, but after all, the other party came to Youzhou by order, which will more or less affect the interests of his assassination. Because of this, he always has a sense of crisis on the "side of the couch".

In the past, Zhang Wen had tossed a lot of overstepping his duties because of the conscription, and now he openly and directly interfered in the internal affairs of Youzhou, how could this make him feel at ease?

The little official replied, "I don't know about it." This news was first reported to the general of the cavalry, and then the general of the cavalry was sent to us. ”

Liu Yan was a little shocked, took the case again, and reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense, I am the assassin of Youzhou, why didn't the official documents within the state border be sent to the envoy first, but transferred to his chariot and cavalry general?" Where is this a mistake? ”

The little official sighed, and there was also a lot of confusion about this matter, and after hesitating for a while, he tried to say: "There really shouldn't be such a mistake in Chengzhuan. However, it seems that the person who was held hostage in Beiping County happened to meet the general of the cavalry when he entered the city, and this person was engaged in an old friend with the general of the cavalry, and a small talk let the general of the cavalry know about it, so he was directly taken to the general's line. ”

Liu Yan snorted coldly, although his official position is not as prominent and high as that of the general of the chariot and cavalry, but when it comes to the power in Youzhou, after all, he is still the envoy of a state, and he can turn a blind eye to everything before, but now there are so many disasters in Youzhou, and he is worried that there is no one to share it, but this Zhang Wen has to intervene in it.

Clenched his fists, he said in a tone full of resentment: "I'm also a member of the Han family, how can I allow Zhang Wen to offend again and again?" To prepare the car, I personally went to the general of the car to ride the road, but I wanted to see what Zhang Wen meant. ”

After noon, Liu Yan took a group of cronies and subordinate officials to the Cheqi General's line and met Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen had long expected that Liu Yan would come to him for this matter, but he was not in a hurry, and asked Liu Yan to sit down first, and then slowly talked about Zu Zhao. As soon as possible, he also admired Zu Zhao, a young descendant, at the beginning, not only outstanding in martial arts, but also with extraordinary literary talent, which is really commendable. However, when he heard that his ancestral family was dominating the township, his impression of Zu Zhao was greatly reduced.

"Originally, I didn't want to take this offspring under the knife, I just hoped that even if the Zu family was crooked, there would be an outstanding person. It's a pity that I misunderstood this posterity, even if the county magistrate of Zhixian County should not be, it is not his turn to convict him. This son is too bold and reckless, I can only make a fuss about this matter and teach a lesson to all the gentry in the counties of Youzhou. ”

Zhang Wen's tone was very soothing at first, but when he said Zuihou, it intensified, and he really showed righteous indignation.

Liu Yan was silent for a long time, and many thoughts of refuting Zhang Wen appeared in his heart, but he couldn't cross a line no matter what. His understanding of Zu Zhao is just hearsay, although it is rumored that this young man is very capable, and now it is also excusable to kill Wang Xianjun of Lingzhi County, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if the ancestral family is a strong party, it doesn't matter, which landlord's family doesn't have a little shili these years?

It's just that the only line in his heart that can't be crossed is that since the ancestral family has privately cast weapons.

As a member of the Han family, of course he can't sit idly by and ignore any behavior that hinders the Liu regime, even if the possibility of the ancestral family's rebellion is very small, but combined with the current turmoil in Youbeiping County, even if there is even the slightest hint of it, he must not let it go.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Yan still asked again: "Is it really true that the ancestral family privately cast the armor?" ”

Zhang Wen said firmly: "Not long ago, I sent someone to Xu Wuxian to verify this matter, and it is absolutely true, and the human and material evidence are all there. If it weren't for this incident, I would have cherished my talents, and I would like to promote this ancestor well. It's a pity that people's hearts are not ancient. ”

After some lengthy contemplation again, Liu Yan spoke: "Rao is like this, and it can't be easily asserted. After all, this is Youzhou, and as the king of Youzhou, he must personally deal with this matter. Since the general has already sent someone to Xu Wu, so let's send someone to Xu Wu later, and the details will be carefully examined before making a conclusion. ”

He didn't say this to protect Zu Zhao, but he still wanted to emphasize his identity as the assassin of Youzhou, and in any case, he didn't want Zhang Wen to be the only one to interfere.

Zhang Wen was naturally displeased, but after thinking about it briefly, he nodded and agreed: "Since it is Liu Yuanjun's request, the old man can only comply." That's how it was settled. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, two waves of people from Jixian County arrived in Xuwu.

The subordinate official sent by Zhang Wen was engaged in Wang Wei, and after he arrived in Xu Wu, he first visited the Zhao family, and asked the Zhao family to come forward to testify against the ancestral family at that time. As soon as he arrived at the county seat, he went straight to the county government and truthfully conveyed the envoy's decree to Chen Xianjun.

Chen Xianjun was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't make up his mind. He knew very well that the ancestral family had reported to the county government earlier, but he did not report the matter to the county government and the state government, after all, the matter of preparing for theft was a local matter, and there was no need to make such a big fuss. But I didn't expect to poke out such a big basket.

What's more, one of the charges against the ancestral family this time also involves intimidation of the county monarch. Chen Xianjun knows that no matter how big or small the affairs in the county are, he always has to give three points to his ancestors. Therefore, at this moment, if he still wants to defend his ancestral family, he is afraid that he will really make the above think that he is intimidated by the ancestral family, not only can he not help the ancestral family, but he will even completely bury his career.

In a hurry, the only thing he could do was to tell Shen Yuan that Zu Zhao had not returned since he rushed to Lingzhi County to support a few days ago, and asked Shen Yuan and his party not to take any action against the Zu family for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. You must know that Zu Zhao is still with more than 200 disciples at this time, and he is really in a hurry, and the sons and daughters of the Zu family will come back, and there may be some big mess.

Shen Yuan thought it made sense, so he stayed in the county government for the time being, and waited until Zu Zhao returned from Lingzhi County before making plans.

That night, Chen Xianjun paced back and forth in his study, looking hesitant. When this matter is investigated, it will definitely be difficult for him to get out, so the top priority is how to minimize the loss. To say that the ancestral family did have a lot of recklessness against him in previous years, but after all, the effort on the surface was enough, and there was nothing to say about interests. If he just puts the matter of face out of the way, he still likes to cooperate with his ancestors.

As soon as he thought of this, he quietly summoned his cronies and servants and asked him to go to Zu's house overnight to truthfully report the news sent by the state government, and tell Zuju not to talk nonsense. He believes that Zu Ju is a reasonable person, and he has done his part, and the other party must think about himself no matter what, so as not to break the net.

At the same time, Zu Zhao assisted Han Tian and others in dealing with the aftermath in Lingzhi County, and even Shouyang, the county of Liaoxi County, finally sent people to comfort him.

I stayed for three or four days, and everything I needed to help was pretty much helped.

At dawn the next day, Zu Zhao and the people of Lingzhi County said goodbye and led their own people to return to Xu Wu.

Before leaving, Han Tian came to see off the three elders and gentry in the county, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and his expression was very embarrassed and serious. Although he failed to prevent Zu Zhao from killing Wang Xianjun in the end, although he also thought that Wang Xianjun was extremely hateful, and although he regretted Tian Xian's martyrdom, he always felt that there were illegal rules in this matter.

When it came to Zuihou, the county guard of Liaoxi County did not pursue the matter, but only truthfully submitted an official document to the state capital.

Therefore, Han Tian's attitude towards Zu Zhao can neither be said to be hatred nor admiration, only a complex and indescribable mentality lingers. can only be indifferent.

On both sides of the street out of the city gate, there are still a few people who are sending each other off, but most of them are still busy repairing their homes and putting their livelihoods in order. If there were really so many warm-hearted people in Lingzhi County, the East City Gate would not have been captured by the Liukou so quickly, and the county town would not have fallen into chaos so quickly.

Not long after coming out of the West City Gate, I walked about three or two miles along the official road.

Zu Zhao, who was leading the team at the front of the team, saw a figure standing in the middle of the official road not far away, at first he was only a passerby, but as the team got closer and closer, he saw that the figure did not move at all, as if he wanted to stand there as if he wanted to use his arm as a car. He couldn't help but be suspicious, but considering that the other party was only one person, it was not expected to be a bad thing.

Approaching more than twenty paces, Zu Zhao pulled the reins slightly, slowing down the horse's speed. He carefully looked at the man twenty paces away, but found that it was a child no more than twelve or thirteen years old, neatly dressed, but his clothes were slightly old, his expression was very gloomy, and there was a kind of sorrow between his eyebrows.

"Little brother, why are you in the middle of the road?"

The child raised his head, although his face was full of sorrow and distress, but there was incomparable perseverance in his eyes, and he said meticulously: "I am waiting here for the eldest son of the ancestral family, Zu Zhao." ”

Zu Zhao only felt that this villain's appearance as a little adult was very funny, and after he smiled, he then asked, "Is it?" I am Zu Zhao, what are you waiting for me? ”

The child said solemnly: "I know that you are Zu Zhao, please accept the next bow." As he spoke, he knelt down with a puff and bowed to Zu Zhao on horseback.

Zu Zhao and Zu Cheng, Zu Ji, Gu Linar, Han Dang and others behind him were all taken aback, and they met a child inexplicably, and let the child make a big gift inexplicably, which was really inexplicable. Zu Zhao jumped down from the horse, strode forward, helped the child up, and said, "Little brother, you and I have never met, why do you need such a big gift?" ”

When the boy got up again, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his sockets. He sniffed and whimpered, "I just met the eldest prince the day before yesterday, but the eldest prince didn't see him at that time." ”

Zu Zhao's eyebrows tightened, his face was confused, and he asked, "You just saw it the day before yesterday?" You are ......"

The child tried his best to restrain his emotions, and replied in a positive voice: "In Xia Tian Yu, Tian Xian is in Xia Uncle. ”――
