Chapter 2, Peiguo Cao's Family

Rewind time to half a year ago.

After Duchang lifted the siege, Guan Yu entered the city and took a picture with Kong Rong, and then led the soldiers and horses back to the plain. Kong Rong was most grateful to Taishi Ci and Shi Xun, holding the hands of the two of them, and nagging repeatedly: "This is Yu Zhiyouye." He wanted to recruit them to come to the government as officials, but Tai Shici refused to accept them on the pretext that his mother still needed to be supported, and soon resigned and left.

Of course, Shixun can understand Tai Shici's mood, don't look at this fierce general's rough appearance, in fact, there are big hills and valleys in his heart, Kong Rong's ugly state of clutching power and refusing to let go in the siege has all fallen into his eyes, how can he still follow such a boss to find his own guilt?

As for Kong Rong's desire to summon Shi Xun as Peng, Shi Xun was a little tempted - he didn't want to rely on Kong Rong for a long time, but this Kong Wenju is a celebrity today, and he has stepped into the eunuch journey from under him. But suddenly at a glance, he saw that his face was sinking like water, and he shook his head slightly, so he had to excuse himself that he was too young and wanted to study for a few more years, so he hurriedly passed it perfunctory.

Afterwards, Shi Yi said to him: "The prince of the palace knows the affairs of the government but does not know the armament, in this troubled era, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a long time, I am favored by his simple pull, and I can't bear to carry it - virtuous nephew, you don't need to come to this troubled water." ”

Shiyi's judgment is correct, the drama county was defeated, Duchang was besieged, although the millions of yellow turbans finally retreated, but Kong Rong's prestige in the country fell to the bottom, regardless of the Shishu, they abandoned their homes and went south to avoid disaster - who knows when the Yellow Turban thieves will come back again? As far as the prime minister is concerned, this time he escaped by luck, and it is difficult to say whether he will be so lucky next time.

Even the subordinates of the prime minister also found excuses to resign and run away, except for Shi Yi, Wang Xiu and others who were relatively disciplined and stayed for the time being, even Kong Rong's first confidant, the superintendent of the post, Wang Xiao, and the prince of the law quickly picked up......

Let's say that Kong Rong and his entourage left Duchang with the king of Beihai and returned to the national capital of Ju County, only to see that the city wall was half collapsed, and the streets were full of dead corpses, which was really full of devastation - the yellow turban, as a rogue, was not strong in combat, but the destructive power was rare in the world. For many days, Shi Xun helped Shi Yi to pacify the exiles and repair the city defenses, and he was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground. A few days later, following the call of Shi Yi, he had just fled to the counties of Lang Evil Country with his family wealth and rushed back - but he only took a few retinues with him and returned by car, and his family wealth was still left in the counties.

So that night, Shijia held an enlarged meeting of all male members under the state of emergency - so it is called an "enlarged meeting", because in addition to Yi, Shizhu, Shixuan, Xun, and Jun, the meeting also included Yi's confidant Ren and his family member Rong.

At the beginning of the meeting, Shi Yi said straight to the point, seeing that Qingzhou was not peaceful, and after this Yellow Turban Rebellion, many of the family's fields were trampled on, the two manors were also destroyed, and most of the property was packed and sent to Langxie, so "Although I can't bear to leave the king, I am afraid that you and others will leave their hometown to avoid disaster, after all, it is inevitable." ”

The general direction is to go to the evil spirit. On the one hand, many scholars in Qingzhou went to Langxi in order to take refuge, including the scripture master Zheng Kangcheng, so it was better to take care of the fellow villagers in the past; On the other hand, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao and Na are completely different, I heard that this person not only is a corporal and encourages farming and weaving, but also recruits and trains tens of thousands of state soldiers who are not weak, and has been suppressing bandits in the state for many years, and has achieved remarkable results - perhaps, Tao Qian can keep the peace of that side.

But where exactly is Ben Lang Evil going? And the place of life is not familiar, it is a home in Langxie and there is no industry, if there is no one to take refuge, I am afraid it is difficult to have a place to stand. After all, the legend says that Zheng Kangcheng hid in a mountain col somewhere and drank gruel to continue his apprenticeship, but his family had a great business, and it was impossible for him to hide among the mountains and forests like him.

After discussing and discussing, the last one followed the advice of Shi Su and went to the Wang family in Linyi County. Wang is the surname of Langxie, his ancestor Wang Ren served as the Qingzhou Assassin in the Huan Emperor Dynasty, so he was friendly with the family (at that time for the family), and now the head of the family is Wang Rong, the late son of Wang Ren, who lives in seclusion, and his nephew Wang Xiong, who is kind to each other - is Xun listened, it seems that Wang Xiong also intends to marry his sister to the family, and the two have already agreed on family affairs.

So Shi Yi wanted to protect the family property and went to Linyi to seek refuge with Wang Xiong, hoping that Wang Xiong could help buy some manor properties in several nearby counties, so that the family could live in peace for the time being. As for Shi Jun, probably because her husband loves the young son and can't bear to stay away, so Shi Yi plans to still take him with him. Although the father is in the prime of life, he needs his son to serve after all, so there is no objection to leaving a brother behind, but they still argue for a long time about who to keep. Originally, the most suitable candidate to stay should be Su Xu, because except for him, the other two brothers are all unreliable, but Xun is not Yi Yi's own son after all. But going to Linyi to contact Wang Xiong had to be unavoidable, so in the end, he had to keep the "Demon King of the Mixed World".

Soon, the three brothers said goodbye to Shiyi in tears and set off south. Of course, Shi Xun didn't feel much sadness, he was just acting, but no matter what, after all, he had been in contact with Shi Yi for so long, even if he was not an elder, he also had some old feelings, so he couldn't help but care: "If there is another alarm in the country, my uncle will come south to look for us, even if the monarch and the minister are righteous, it seems that there is no need to be martyred for Kong Beihai." Shi Yi nodded at him slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own plans." ”

Yes and Shi Xun rode in a car, and Shi Xun rode a horse, hurriedly went south, and soon left Beihai, entered Langxi, and came to Zhuxian. Previously, he was holding his family wealth and did not enter the county seat, but temporarily rented a few houses near the house in the north of the city to live temporarily, but when he arrived at the ground this time, he saw that the houses were all empty, and even the property and domestic servants were gone!

was so frightened on the spot that he almost fell from the car with his head upside down. Or is it more calm, saying: "They are all generations of domestic slaves, how can there be any reason to get rich and flee privately?" Besides, the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister are still among them...... And without our instructions, they did not dare to leave hastily, and there must be an extraordinary reason for this, and they could ask the herald. ”

The group immediately rushed to the herald, and a preacher with white hair and deaf eyes greeted him. He almost put his finger on the old official's nose and asked repeatedly, "Youβ€”do you still know me?" More than ten days ago, I brought my family here, and I lived in the front house, such as、Why is it gone?! ”

The old official bowed his waist, took half a step to the side, dodged his fingers, and then squinted his eyes, looked him up and down for a long time, and then showed a slight smile: "It turned out to be Ji Gongzi......"

"My surname is, I've told you 10,000 times, I don't have a surname!"

"Yes, Ji Gongzi Rongyu," is that the old man is in a hurry half to death, but the old official here is unhurried and calm, "Since the son left, the next morning...... Maybe it's in the afternoon, the villain is old, and he can't remember it clearly...... It was supposed to be the ninth day of the first month, or maybe it was the tenth, and in the afternoon, I heard some noise in your house...... The villain's ears are deaf, so naturally he can't hear the noise, that's what the second child of the Li family who came to help clean up said...... This, the second elementary school of the Li family is actually not the second line, but the third line, just for the ......"

It was a scribe whose face was so blue in a hurry, who was so gentle and demure that he almost snatched the whip from the groom's hand and whipped it down on the old official's head. Shi Xuan hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Brother and slow." He asked the servant for a few five baht, stuffed it into the old official's sleeve, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't panic, old man, take a breath, think carefully, and slowly talk to me and others." ”

The old official arched his hand: "Thank you for this son." Then he took a deep breath - "It was the afternoon of the next day after the child's departure, the noble house was noisy, and the villain went to look, only to see a young man with your family and servants, all leaving the house to the southeast, and gave the villain a book, so that the villain could hand it over to the child." ”

He hurriedly asked, "Where is the book?" Don't hurry up and get it out! ”

The old official's eyes were confused, and he shook his head slightly: "What is this book...... The villain is old and has a poor memory, so he seems to be stored in the biography...... Is it in the box, or on the case? And when the villain returns to the house to look for ......" as he spoke, he leaned over, and slowly made a wrong step, and was about to turn around.

Shi Xuan hurriedly took out a few more coins and stuffed them into the old official's sleeve. The old official had just turned halfway around when he suddenly patted his head: "I remember." Immediately took out a piece of bamboo slip from his waist and presented it to Shi Xuan with both hands: "The book is here." ”

He was so angry that he picked up the whip again, but before he could do it, suddenly a figure flashed over, pushed the old official to the ground, and scolded angrily: "You lazy mediocre official, if I don't go over to pass it on to make it easier, you will threaten my master here!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the brothers: "But wait until a few young masters arrive." ”

This person is recognized by Xun, and it is a house slave who originally escorted the family fortune south. At the moment, he didn't look at the bamboo slips, and hurriedly asked him: "What's going on?" Speak up, talk fast! ”

The house slave reported succinctly: "It was the third prince who suddenly arrived, saying that there was a friend's village nearby, and then everyone went to stay thereβ€”the villain led the way." ”

"Uncle Mian?" Surprised and delighted, "How did he get here?!" ”

It is Kuan is Shumian, but it is the third son of Yi, who has always traveled to study, and he has never seen it. According to the information he got from gossip, this third son is more clever than the boss, more studious than the fourth, and more like a phoenix than a crow. He was deeply loved by Shiyi, and even Kong Rong commented: "This son must be the sage of the world with 2,000 stones." ”

The group followed the house slave out of the house and headed southeast, and on the way he asked, "I don't know which family the third brother is staying in?" ”

The house slave hurriedly replied: "I heard that it is not an indigenous, it is a Peiguo clan, and it just moved to Xuzhou a few years ago - the master's surname is Cao." ”

Nani? Pei Guo, Cao Shi ...... Yes Xun felt a thunder explosion on the top door, I'll lean in, won't it!
