Chapter 39 The Mysterious Taoist

If it is said that Chen Gong was confident before entering Shanyin County, but after entering Shanyin County, Chen Gong always felt that this ordinary small county town had a different feeling.

That indescribable feeling, if you have to describe it in concrete words, that feeling is the feeling that you can't grasp everything for a strategist like Chen Gong, and the most terrible thing for a strategist like this is not death but the feeling of the unknown and uncontrollable.

is closing his eyes in Chen Gong to recuperate

"Why don't you see your family come in person?" Xu Ping, who had long been unbearable, scolded angrily at the guards of the city.

In the face of Xu Ping's questioning, the soldiers guarding the city also looked at each other.

"My lord didn't treat the envoy sent by Lord Taishou respectfully that time, and I don't know what happened this time!" The soldiers had to think about it in their hearts.

Before Chen Gong came to Shanyin County, he had already learned about the general situation of Shanyin County through Xu Zhao's intelligence agency, the secret guard.

The Sanyin county commander is a son of a family with mediocre ability, and it is the power of the family that can become the county commander.

Of course, this is not an exception, it can be said that this is a microcosm of the officialdom in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the family gate valve controls the access to the officialdom, and now there is no imperial examination system, even the Jiupin Zhongzheng system will not appear until the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Although there are many capable officials who are officials among the children of the Shi clan, the contradiction between the Han Shi and the children of the Shi clan has always been very acute, after all, there are so many official hats, and if you wear them, someone is destined to not be able to wear them, and it is very difficult for the children of the Han family to be officials compared with the Shi clan.

The biggest bane at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the enlargement of the clan, so that the tail was big, and the enlargement of the clan would definitely have an impact on the imperial power.

The current situation in the world is almost a three-legged tripod, the clan, the relatives, the eunuch group, the three-legged tripod must support the relatives and eunuchs in order to restrain the clan, but to support the relatives and eunuchs to prevent them from becoming so big that the tail is too big, which will test the ability of the emperor, test the emperor's power, but the one sitting on the dragon chair today is precisely the most lacking is the emperor's power.

Xu Ping wanted to continue to reprimand, but was stopped by Chen Gong, who only said "Go!" ”

Looking at Chen Gong's serious expression, Xu Ping couldn't say anything more.

Chen Gong and his party were out of the city.

"Sir, what does this San'in County Order mean, I don't even come forward in person when I know that Mr. is coming!" Out of the city, Xu Ping said indignantly.

"If I were him, so would it." Chen Gong said lightly.

"Why!"

"Before, he was afraid of Xu Taishou, but now that he is about to be promoted, he naturally doesn't want to live in vain, and now the smartest way is to not see anyone, so as not to catch the fox and cause a commotion, which is why I didn't ask to see him, even if he goes to the county office, he won't see us!" Chen Gong said patiently.

"Why did that gentleman come to this Sanyin County?" Seeing Chen Gongshao's patient explanation, Xu Ping couldn't help but ask.

Chen Gong smiled and pointed to the sky.

Xu Ping sighed in disappointment: "I know, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed!" ”

"That's right!"

"Alas!"

The picture turned to the Bafang Chamber of Commerce.

After receiving the task of subduing Chen Gong, Shen Fan was pleasantly surprised and confused.

Among them, what puzzled Shen Fan the most was that the name of Chen Gong was written in the column of the task publisher.

In addition to the confusion at the beginning, Shen Fan has already entered deep thought.

The assassination of the mysterious assassin, Chai Fugui's message, Chen Gong's sudden appearance, Chen Gong's words before saying goodbye, and this sudden acceptance mission, the condition of the task turned out to be to kill Xu Zhao.

The various events that have happened these days are like a big interwoven net, like a big net shrouded in Shen Fan's heart, Shen Fan suddenly has a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings!

As Shen Fan continued to sort out, he felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and he couldn't find a clue more and more.

Suddenly, Chen Gong reminded Shen Fan with a sentence left before leaving.

"Huiji County!" This sentence is like a ray of light, rescuing Shen Fan, who is deep in thought, from the abyss!

"Huiji County, Huiji County, Huiji County......" Shen Fan repeated these three words in his heart.

Suddenly, Shen Fan understood that the center of this kind of incident was Xu Zhao, and all of this was pointing to Xu Zhao.

Chen Gong mentioned Huiji County many times before leaving, I am afraid it is to remind Shen Fan Xu Zhao again, as for whether Chen Gong's last words are hinting at Xu Zhao, this is not yet known, but in Shen Fan's opinion, this is very possible!

The historical-level strategist was really terrifying like a demon, and Shen Fan couldn't help but spit out a groove in his heart.

"Lord Shen!" Seeing Shen Fan immersed in deep thought, Chai Fugui on the side couldn't help but remind.

"What's wrong with Lord Shen?" Chai Fugui quipped.

"It's nothing, it's just a sudden thought of something!" Shen Fan said.

"I'm afraid I'm worried about Brother Chen's last words!" Chai Fugui said with a smile.

Shen Fan didn't say anything, Chai Fugui smiled: "Lord Shen, please!" ”

Shen Fan and Chai Fugui came to the reception hall again.

The two sat down, and Chai Fugui took the lead in speaking.

"I don't know why Lord Shen is here!"

"Didn't you ask knowingly, didn't you ask me to come!" Shen Fan had to say this in his heart.

"It's nothing, I just want to come and see Brother Chai!" Seeing Chai Fugui asking knowingly, Shen Fan also said deliberately.

"Since Lord Shen is fine, let's send off the guests!" Chai Fugui said with a smile on the face of a profiteer as always.

"Brother Chai is very interesting, didn't you let me come, this is good, I'm here, Brother Chai wants to drive me away again!" Seeing Chai Fugui "turning his face and not recognizing people", Shen Fan had no choice but to say straight to the point.

"Really? How I don't remember! Chai Fugui continued to pretend to be confused.

"In that case, then I'll go, Brother Chai," said Shen Fan, who stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Lord Shen, it's Chai's fault!" Seeing that Shen Fan really turned his face, Chai Fugui said with a hippie smile.

"Let's just hide it, if you have something, just say it, I, Shen Fan, thank Brother Chai for his kindness a few days ago!" Faced with Chai Fugui's out-of-the-box character, Shen Fan had no choice but to say everything!

It is difficult to associate the Chai Fugui who is jumping out now with the killing a few days ago, or which one is the real Chai Fugui.

If Shen Fan had seen Chai Fugui's decisive killing a few days ago, he would have been stunned.

"Since Lord Shen has spoken out, I will also make it clear!" Chai Fugui rarely put away his smile and said seriously.

"Let's be honest, I killed the assassin a few days ago, and I also passed the letter to Lord Shen!" Chai Fugui continued.

"Dare to ask Brother Chai, who sent the assassins, and what is the purpose?" Shen Fan asked suspiciously.

"Who sent it, didn't Lord Shen already have an answer outside the Chamber of Commerce just now, why bother to ask me!" Chai Fugui said playfully.

Chai Fugui's words coincided with Shen Fan's conjecture, "Xu Zhao", no one would say these two words, but Shen Fan and Chai Fugui present were very clear psychologically, and neither of them tacitly mentioned it, but both of them were very clear!

"Anyway, Shen thanked Brother Chai for his kindness again!" Shen Fan said from the bottom of his heart.

"Then dare to ask why Brother Chai wants to help me?"

Chai Fugui said: "The reason is very simple, I want to call Lord Shen this friend, I am a businessman and abide by the rules, since I want to make Lord Shen this friend, how can I not show some sincerity?" You're right, Lord Shen! ”

Shen Fan nodded.

"It's still the same sentence, Chai is the most well-behaved businessman, today I helped Lord Shen, he is in trouble every day, presumably Lord Shen should not stand idly by!" Chai Fugui continued>

"Brother Chai looks down on Shen! How can Shen be able to get Brother Chai's light homesickness! Shen Fan said.

"Why should Lord Shen be light, Lord Shen is like a golden scale in the pool, I don't have other abilities, I still have the ability to recognize people!" Chai Fugui said.

"What if Brother Chai accidentally looked away at Shen?" Shen Fan picked up the teacup and looked at Chai Fugui playfully and said.

"If you go, you will go! It's normal to walk a few times! But now Chai is sure that he is definitely not blind, in terms of eyesight, Chai Mou thinks that he is not as good as that person, since that person is not blind, how can I, Chai Fugui, be blind, you are right, Lord Shen! Chai Fugui said slowly>

"Not much to say, it's all in the tea!" Chai Fugui picked up the teacup and drank it all.

At this moment, Shen Fan didn't care about the rules of tea tasting, and took a teacup like a cow chewing a peony and drank it all.

It's all in the cup.

When Shen Fan and Chai Fugui were drinking tea with each other, Chen Gong had already sat on the carriage that had stopped outside the city when he came.

On the way back to Huiji-gun.

Chen Gong specially instructed Xu Ping not to let anyone disturb him.

At this time, Chen Gong sat alone in the carriage, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Recalling all the things in the Bafang Chamber of Commerce during the day in his mind, Shen Fan's smile and smile were slowly replayed in Chen Gong's mind.

"He's the only variable?" Chen Gong muttered to himself while reminiscing.

"The variable surname is Shen and not surnamed Xu?" Chen Gong muttered to himself again.

The origin of the matter began a year ago......

A year ago, Chen Gong was already the chief bookkeeper of a county, although the official position of the chief bookkeeper was not high, but it was not an official who ate the emperor's grain.

If there was no Taoist, Chen Gong might still be in front of his own county master, how could he come to Huiji County.

Chen Gong is not from a poor family, Chen Gong's family is a small family in decline, although the ancestor was also ranked in Jiuqing, but it was a hundred years ago.

Chen Gong can be regarded as famous when he was young in the local area, and he finally became the master by virtue of his identity as a declining clan, but this has also reached the limit, and it is almost impossible to get promoted, who makes himself inconspicuous.

If you want to turn talents, there must be a place for Chen Gong in the top ten historical strategists, but Chen Gong can't do it to please his boss's flattery, and of course Chen Gong doesn't care about it.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, if there is no Taoist priest, maybe Chen Gong is still doing the master book that has no hope of promotion!
