"This is the mansion called Pan Jun."

"It doesn't look very impressive."

"There's probably no way around it, after all, this person's identity is a bit ...... in every way Susceptible. ”

In the northwest corner of Linxiang City, there seems to be a somewhat remote area, although it looks a little remote, but there are some high-gate mansions nearby that look like people of great status are qualified to live in it, and often there are only two or three households in the whole street, just by seeing such a scale, you can know the power of the owners of these mansions.

Compared with the dock forts in the suburbs, where defense is obviously more important, these mansions here obviously have a sense of "low-key luxury and connotation".

However, in such a complex of buildings, there is a mansion that seems so special - not that this mansion is so high-end and high-grade, high-profile luxury and local tycoons, on the contrary, this house is not only far inferior to those large people who occupy half of the street at every turn in terms of area, even if you just look at the surface, you will feel that this place looks like an ordinary scholar's residence, not like a "big man" who was born in Jingnan Wang clan and held a position of 600 stones in Jingzhou before Although compared to the average person's house, the house that can appear here is already exquisite enough.

"So although Liu Jingsheng is very famous, he can't tolerate this Pan Chengming, and this person's achievements are probably like this."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's obviously the person you're looking for, but you don't know?"

"Well, ahhahahaha...... Actually, I just knew that this person was very powerful. As for what exactly this person did, I don't know at all. ”

Of course, he wouldn't talk about it to the people around him, if someone hadn't mentioned that in addition to Changsha Huanjie, who has great influence as the mastermind around Zhang Xian, there is also a person named Pan Jun who is also very talented and worth seeing, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find this "former official" who doesn't seem to be in a good situation in Jingzhou for a long time.

Still, he came here. Get ready to visit the host here.

"I didn't expect Pan Jun to have fallen into such a field, although the friends who often came and went in the past could not be said to draw a clear line with Jun, but they have been little concerned for a long time, and today there will be people who come to admire the name of Jun, but it is also very emotional."

It was not quite the same as what he had imagined before, the person in front of him was not much older than him, and he could still be regarded as a young man in the category of young people, with a height of nearly eight feet that was rare for southerners, and his face was sharp and angular. From time to time, the corners of the eyes will reveal a few hints of resolute color, but the whole person does not look sharp, and even the first feeling of the two people in front of him is still a little kind, although the softness of the pretense feels very incompatible with this no matter how you look at it.

"Well, although I think I should say two righteous words at this time to win your favor, but when I see you in person, I feel that such words are completely unspeakable, and I don't want to deceive someone like you who makes me admire. Actually, you can tell by listening to my accent. Coming from the north, I came to visit you because I admired your fame and talent. Hurried. Before you have time to find out what has happened in Jingzhou recently, you asked the locals who are familiar with this place to bring it to you. If you don't mind, I'd like to listen to what you've been through lately, and I'm sure that with a character like you, you must have been slandered by a villain to have to fall into such a predicament. ”

"My Pan Chengming's reputation has actually spread to the far north?!"

Pan Jun didn't look very happy after hearing the words full of flattery, and even looked at the young man opposite with a puzzled face. After all, although the other party's accent is from the north, it is true, but it is more relative to this Jingzhou, in fact, although the other party's mouth is not pure or not, but the Luoyang official voice that he heard during his study tour, so that Pan Jun, who does not know much about the local accent, can't be sure where the other party is from.

Although it is said that there is no legendary legal Mandarin in this era. Even the pronunciation annotation is also an anti-cutting method, that is, the legend of the two words in one of the initials and the other of the finals cut down and then combined a pronunciation annotation method, and this obviously means that if the region is different, then there will be a completely different pronunciation of the words marked with pronunciation, and the results of the cut will naturally be very different, and it is naturally impossible to be unified in reading, not to mention that many words are marked with each other.

However, this does not mean that there is nothing similar to "Mandarin" in this era, after all, it is too difficult for the emperor to add another task to learn the local dialect to understand what his ministers say in various things, and the emperor who is either diligent or not diligent enough - the former is really not in the time, and the latter is really not in the mood.

So instead of letting the emperor learn what the officials everywhere said, it is better to let the officials everywhere use the emperor's accent as the benchmark, so that the emperor will not know what he has said.

What's more, in this way, the various government offices in the national capital can be much happier when they are working, and it is easier for everyone to play together.

Moreover, the biggest feature of the Han Dynasty is that scholars such as "filial piety" and "Maocai" promoted from the local government need to be officials at all levels in the national capital for a period of time before they are sent to the local government.

Add to this the fact that the national capital is the center of a country's culture, and a large number of scholars travel here every year, so that the accent learned from the national capital is gradually brought to the local area and used as a status symbol.

So the accent of the national capital has also become the de facto ancient version of "Mandarin".

In fact, the Mandarin of New China was originally based on the Beijing dialect as the national capital, but the Han Dynasty did not have accurate pinyin, let alone a law to stipulate the status of Mandarin.

However, the plane that Li Shucheng is in is not another plane that he is familiar with after all, and the biggest feature of this plane is this. Even if there are some linguistic differences between the north and the south of the world, they are not as different as the other planes, so even though there are differences in accents between them, there is no problem in communicating with each other.

Of course, the Luoyang dialect, the national capital, is still the best accent recognized by the upper bureaucracy. And those who can't learn this accent are obviously the legendary "country dumplings", and they will definitely be despised by those so-called "people with face".

Well, so you can also know that Li Shushi is definitely one of the people who are despised, but as he and his army are now more and more popular, the accent that was originally considered "vulgar" seems to have gradually become popular.

Is this also evidence of a great rebellion?

But even so, the Luoyang accent is still popular among the upper class, whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or Liu Yan and Liu Biao, Liu Miao and others are proud to speak the Luoyang accent. In addition, the Han Emperor is still there, and the status of the Luoyang accent is unlikely to be shaken, especially in the border places, because of the lag in information transmission, the Luoyang accent is regarded as a sign of status.

Although Pan Jun, as a native of Lingling, has only been to Xiangyang, but because there are many northern scholars who fled from the north to Xiangyang, he is naturally familiar with Luoyang's accent. Because I know that this accent means a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that the other party is from Luoyang and its surrounding areas. Then it is very problematic where the other party comes from.

Naturally, the phrase "famous in the north" has naturally become a compliment that sounds a little unreal.

Although even a person like Pan Jun would be a little happy when he heard this kind of compliment that he didn't believe in at all.

If he knew that he was really "famous in the north", but he didn't know what kind of expression would he have?

Well, let's put this kind of problem aside and look at the two people who were let into the house by Pan Jun.

Although he had some questions in his heart, Pan Jun still patiently had a conversation with the rare visitor.

Then, he told the other party what had happened to him, although it seemed that the older "local" should already know some of the twists and turns. And the young man really didn't know anything and ran over.

Should I say it's simple, or is it a little brainless?

However, from the conversation just now, Pan Jun knew very well that the other party was a very smart young man, and he must have studied under a famous teacher, and his various knowledge was quite solid. Otherwise, Pan Jun would not put the other party into an equal status with himself to communicate.

"No wonder the uncle who brought me here thinks that Liu Jingsheng is very famous but his achievements are limited after all, but it turns out that this is the case. Personally, I think you did the right thing, and the Han has reached this point precisely because he has indulged too much in the evil deeds of those treacherous people. Only by deterring treacherous people in this way can the original order of the world be restored. ”

After some conversation, the young man let out the following feelings, and from those clear eyes, it can be seen that these words are his heartfelt words, or that there are many similar contents in his education, so his way of thinking is not very different from those scholars who put their family before their country, and they will naturally identify more with Pan Jun's actions.

Pan Jun is naturally very happy about this result, after all, his behavior has been recognized by others, although in his character, this kind of behavior that insists on his morality will not be regretted even if no one agrees, but after all, people are a social animal, if you can get more people's recognition, it means that you and the values of the society are convergent, then the society will be more tolerant rather than excluded, and it is naturally easier to succeed in this era.

Pan Jun is not like Guan Ning, who has no political ambitions and wants to be a hermit, but he is determined to ascend to the high position of the third prince in terms of personal achievements, and then change this filthy era step by step.

Therefore, even if he has his own bottom line and discipline, he also hopes that his ideas can be recognized by more people.

However, speaking seriously, Pan Jun's encounter to this day is really a little ...... Point back.

Pan Jun is actually a very talented young man, and he has gained a lot of fame in the Jingnan area at a young age. Known as the "prodigy" of Lingling, after studying in Xiangyang, he was appreciated by Wang Cang, a famous scholar who lived in the south, and then became a subordinate of Liu Biao, and finally was appointed by Liu Biao to engage in Jiangxia a few years later, and was assigned to Huang Zu's side.

Nominally, it was naturally for Pan Jun to stare at Huang Zu's actions. After all, don't look at Huang Zu as a die-hard supporter of Liu Biao. However, the relationship with Liu Biao is also very delicate - Huang Zu, with his background of the Anlu Huang clan, made Jiangxia more and more inclined to become an independent kingdom under his rule, and the counties there are basically about to become "only Huang Zu does not know Liu Biao".

It can be said that compared with Zhang Xian in Changsha, Jiangxia Huangzu is actually no different, they are all small separatist princes under Liu Biao, a big separatist prince, but the only difference is that Huang Zu still follows Liu Biao closely in most cases, and Zhang Xian can be said to be tense between himself and Liu Biao. even instigated the four counties of Jingnan to follow together to find trouble with Liu Biao.

Now that he has learned from Zhang Xian's past, even if Huang Zu respects Liu Biao very much on weekdays, Liu Biao still has the opportunity to "mix sand" with Huang Zu.

Of course, if it is specific to Pan Jun personally, in retrospect, this time it looks like Liu Biao is mixing sand with Huang Zu, but in fact, Liu Biao's bigger purpose is to take the opportunity to dispose of Pan Jun away from his side.

Pan Jun is a very talented person. It was a well-known thing in Jingzhou, but for everyone in Xiangyang City. Pan Jun also has another temper that is also well known, even more known than his talent.

This trait is his uprightness and strictness.

It stands to reason that Pan Jun, as a newcomer, should be restrained even if his temperament is really like this. Or as a smart person, it is obviously not so wise to let yourself die prematurely because of your temper before you have gained power.

But this is clear to all. Pan Jun did the opposite.

Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, performed the suburban sacrifice that only the emperor is qualified to do, and used the over-controlled chariot and horse honor guard, which can be said to be very clear to people living in Jingzhou. Some people, such as Liu Biao's relatives, such as Cai Mao, are naturally very supportive of this, and he naturally hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to make his family more prominent.

For example, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have a more neutral attitude. Although Liu Biao's behavior is a bit out of line, but in this chaotic situation, the control power of the royal family has fallen to the lowest point, it is not an exaggeration for Liu Biao, who is a clan relative, to have some ambitions, after all, compared to an unreliable child, Liu Biao, a clan relative with a great reputation, is more suitable for that position.

As for the opponents, there are naturally many of them, but these people either live here and are not convenient for public speech, or the family power is not enough to fight Liu Biao, who can already pinch and round most of the wealthy families in Jingzhou.

Only the young Pan Jun wrote an article reprimanding Liu Biao, and used various channels to spread it among the scholars in Jingzhou.

Of course, although Pan Jun looks a little reckless, he is not really stupid after all, a satirical article is not only written with flowers and needles hidden at the same time, but there is not a word in the whole article scolding Liu Biao for what Liu Biao did.

Although Liu Biao is not an indecisive person, after all, when he first entered Jingzhou, he killed countless people, but the literati temper of the self-proclaimed "Jingxiang Bajun" leader of Jingzhou's cultural circles is also extremely strict. Naturally, for the sake of survival, it was impossible to have the opportunity to show this side of him, but now, the interior has been basically calmed, and only Zhang Xian in the south has not been able to fundamentally threaten his core rule. Outside, except for Li Shushi, who has been stirring up the wind and rain in Nanyang for many years, for other forces, Liu Biao has already burned high incense if he does not take the initiative to attack, so he naturally has to reflect his "scribe style".

So in the face of Pan Jun's article about how could he not see what the content referred to, Liu Biao couldn't make the decision to easily solve Pan Jun, a teenager who was just an ant to him.

Without him, I think this article is well written, even if it is a scolding article, it is also extremely talented.

This is like in the history of another plane, although Liu Biao wanted to kill the other party for Youheng, who was indeed talented in his reputation, he was also polite and thoughtful on the surface, but in the end, he threw it to the grumpy Huang Zu when he couldn't bear it anymore. Then I played a game that was actually pretty good, and I borrowed a knife to kill people.

It's a pity that he was a rebel of the Han Dynasty, so even if his original normal actions could be interpreted by later generations to have all kinds of dark ideas, not to mention that Liu Biao's approach was already very debatable, it naturally became an example of his lack of energy.

Although Pan Jun is not as famous as You Heng, his talent is not bad, and his articles are also very obscure. is not like You Heng who directly scolded in front of the public, so although Liu Biao was a little dissatisfied, he was not really moved to kill.

Pan Jun's life in Xiangyang in those years can be said to be about the same, which will not make Liu Biao thunderous, but it is also uncomfortable, and he will take it out and evaluate whatever he thinks he has done wrong, even if he does not directly name him, it is definitely unpleasant.

Most importantly, because he took the lead. At that time, many young talents in Jingzhou will learn from each other, and they have also started the work of "acupuncture and disadvantages", but it is a pity that the talent of these people is obviously not comparable to Pan Jun, and they will not be able to hide the ingenious kung fu of hiding needles in the cotton, so that for a while, the entire Jingzhou literary circle can be said to be "black smoke miasma", which makes Liu Biao really bored.

It's a pity that because the law doesn't blame the public, he can only send Pan Jun, who is the leader of these people, to Huang Zu. I hope to have a quiet.

Of course, Pan Jun naturally won't say much about these things. At most, it was just a passing pass, and many things were told to the young man by the uncle who had already learned more about Pan Jun, the goal of the two's trip, after his own investigation.

And with such foreshadowing, the rest of the matter is logical.

You Heng still had a bad temper when he arrived at Huang Zu, so he died tragically at the hands of Huang Zu, who was as grumpy as a martial artist and even a scholar.

Pan Jun also had a temper when he went to Huang Zu, and when he encountered injustices, he would also use various ways to step on the line, although it was not as angry as You Heng that made Huang Zu angry and launched a murderous intent. But it also made the depressed Huang Zu accumulate a lot of resentment.

As a result, these grievances completely exploded in one thing.

The matter was quite simple at the beginning, that is, Pan Jun learned that the county magistrate of Shaxian, an important town in Jiangxia, was corrupt and perverted the law, so he investigated the matter as an engager, because this person was greedy, so Pan Jun's efforts can be said to be conclusive evidence. The evidence is ironclad.

So this Sha Xian Chang became the soul of Pan Jun's famous knife.

When things came to this, everyone should have been happy, after all, this Sha Xianchang's reputation was not high, and Pan Jun got a lot of key evidence to prove that this person was greedy enough to be greedy for military spending, so although his death was shocking, it also made Jingzhou have nothing to say, and even for ordinary people, it was applause.

But who would have thought that he didn't know what this Sha Xian Chang thought before he died, and he broke out the fierce news in a row, and it can be said that he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and it was a big string when he pulled it, and it was even very likely to burn it on the head of Huang Zu, who was the ruler of Jiangxia.

So should Pan Jun continue to investigate, or should he let the matter go lightly?

If he continues to investigate, it is obviously very likely that his life will be endangered, even if something is finally investigated, it will not matter to Huang Zu, and in the face of such a huge interest group, Liu Biao will not be able to really kill them all, perhaps that Sha Xian Chang is also in this guise, hoping to be able to exonerate himself from responsibility in this way.

Of course, such an unlikeliable situation is slim to none.

But if he didn't continue to investigate, although he could save his life, even those scholars would never blame him for this, and he would still be able to enjoy the reputation he gained from investigating and dealing with Sha Xianchang. But the only thing that can't get over is the unique good and evil heart of young people that has not been tainted by the world.

How to choose?

Well, judging from the current situation, it can be said that what kind of choice Pan Jun made can be said to be self-evident.

And what kind of consequences Pan Jun's choice has caused, even if he can't inquire, it can be said that he knows eight or nine.

"Brother Pan, come to visit next, this time you shouldn't still turn away the little brother."

And just when everyone was talking happily, a sudden voice interjected, and looking at Pan Jun's slightly twitching face, what else could the visitor have had with him? !
