Four years of dry charm

After years of famine in Shandong, groups of thieves roared together, and Huang Chao took the opportunity to rise in Caozhou and Puzhou, and tens of thousands of hungry people volunteered to follow him.

At that time, Zhu Wen was only a servant in a village below Shandong who was responsible for arresting and arresting thieves, and the days before the Huangchao Uprising were still counted, and since this incident, his pressure has also followed.

The homeless people became thieves, and they were doing everything in the area under his jurisdiction, arresting hundreds of people a day, and the prison cells of the yamen were almost overwhelmed, which also became his biggest headache.

The thieves ransacked his village again, Zhu Wen and his companions arrested, the thieves resisted, and there were casualties on both sides, but fortunately, the situation was under control, and Zhu Wen also caught more than 30 thieves and went back to pay off.

When the county lieutenant tried and threw them into prison, they were in trouble.

Zhu Wenyu said.

"The county lieutenant, the thieves in the county have invaded the county for more than a few months, and his subordinates did not dare to slack off, all of them were arrested, and the county lieutenant ruled that the county lieutenant was magnanimous and circumvented them for capital crimes, and only put them in prison to reform themselves, but the conditions in prison were limited, and they really could not afford many prisoners, and asked the county lieutenant to decide how to deal with these thieves."

After listening to Zhu Wen's words, County Lieutenant Wang was also very embarrassed, and thought to himself: If I kill these people, I am afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the thieves around me. If you don't kill so many people, it will be a tricky thing in case something goes wrong, so it's better to send this hot potato out!

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Wen's words broke his thinking.

"County lieutenant, this matter is very high, please ask the county lieutenant to decide"

Wang County Lieutenant has not read much, and he became a county lieutenant through bribery, besides, he can't do the position of county lieutenant for a long time, the people above have already paved the way for him, as long as nothing goes wrong at the end of the year, promotion is a matter of immediate importance.

But I'm afraid that there will be any eventuality, Wang County Lieutenant can get by doing everything, almost enough, but Zhu Wen's character is the opposite of him, he admits death in everything, and breaks the principle of asking the end of the casserole to make Wang County Lieutenant have more headaches than dealing with the affairs of the homeless.

County Lieutenant Wang didn't plan to do anything to Zhu Wen at first, but just now he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, both sending away the hot potato and indirectly getting rid of Zhu Wen.

County Lieutenant Wang cleared his throat.

"That...... Xiao Zhu, you see that our county government is indeed limited in conditions, and there is nothing that can be done about these thieves, so it is better to send these thieves to Liu Fumu in Shandong, and I will also write a letter to Liu Fumu to praise your achievements, and Liu Fumu will reward you well after reading my letter."

Zhu Wen was a little troubled.

"This credit is not all mine, but also a share of the county lieutenant, how dare I be greedy for heaven's credit!"

County Lieutenant Wang on the side hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that Zhu Wen would refuse.

Zhu Wen continued: "There are more than a thousand miles here, and there are more thieves than the number of officials. ”

Listening to Zhu Wen's explanation, County Lieutenant Wang gasped, and said in his heart: This kid is not stupid, he has left all the back roads, but this kid is really stupid, it is best to change the best, it is best to run away, throw out my territory, and everyone will save trouble.

County Lieutenant Wang said with a grin.

"Xiao Zhu, you can rest assured, what you are worried about will never happen, this county lieutenant will write to the county lieutenants of several neighboring counties, and ask them to send more people to help you, so that you will be able to do a good job!"

County Lieutenant Wang was really gracious, and Zhu Wen had to reluctantly agree.

When it was sent, Zhu Wen came up with the idea of tying the hands and feet of these thieves so that they would not escape.

During this period, Zhu Wen did not see the people sent by several nearby counties, but there were a few more people around him who were not good for Uncle Suo.

These people have walked more than a thousand miles, and they even have trouble taking a breath, which makes Zhu Wen's heart half cold.

I don't know if these uncles did it on purpose, in short, they walked three steps and rested two steps, and the one-month journey was just three months before they arrived.

Finally, Zhu Wen couldn't help it, and yelled at these uncles a few times, afraid that they would be frightened, these uncles fell to the ground, and after a few snorts, they ran out of breath.

The thieves took advantage of the chaos and began to make a fuss, and some of them took out the blades in their mouths and cut the rope to untie the rope of the other person, and just like that, everyone untied the rope and fled.

Looking at the scattered thieves, Zhu Wen said with a crying voice.

"Guys, don't abandon me, these three months, I, Zhu Wen, have taken you a lot, and you are forcing me to a dead end when you leave like this!"

A small number of people heard Zhu Wen's bleak words, and they all stopped to listen.

At this time, a middle-aged man leaned over and said to Zhu Wen.

"Brother Zhu, you are a good person, and we all know that you have indeed not treated us badly in the past three months, and we all remember it in our hearts, but what's the use of this! We are guilty of killing our heads, and when we get there, we will die, and we may die on the way, and now that we are finally free, how can we go back.

But then again, you are a good person, you can't complete the task, and that dog officer Wang County Lieutenant won't bypass you lightly, why don't you go with us, at least you will end up happy, anyway, you will die if you go back"

What this person said also has a certain truth, how can someone as smart as Zhu Wen not understand! It's just that there are many more that he can't give up.

There was a very difficult level at the moment, but Zhu Wen still waved his hand to let them all go, and he hid under a pseudonym.

Years later, someone recognized Zhu Wen in Chang'an and drank together, during which the person recited a poem written by Huang Chao to him.

When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

It aroused Zhu Wen's fighting spirit.

Many years of grievances, mighty, came to my heart in an instant.

He returned to the place where he had been on an errand, killed the long-promoted lieutenant Wang County, and joined Zhu Wen's rebel army.

In the second year of Zhonghe, in February, Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen as the defense envoy of Tongzhou and let Zhu Wen attack on his own. Zhu Wen led his troops south from Danzhou and soon conquered Tongzhou.

The imperial court sent Wang Chongrong to select 30,000 elite armor soldiers to attack Zhu Wen.

After Zhu Wen was defeated by Wang Chongrong, he asked Huang Chao for support, and entered the seal ten times, all of which were reported by Meng Kai, the envoy of Huang Chao's left army. He also heard that the Huangchao army was in distress and most of the generals were disheartened, and his trusted generals Hu Zhen and Xie Tong persuaded him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen deduced that the Huangchao rebel army would fail, so he was ready to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and secretly contacted Wang Chongrong.

After receiving Zhu Wen's letter, Wang Chongrong circulated it to his subordinate Yang Fuguang, who was narrow-minded and persuaded Wang Chongrong to kill Zhu Wen, but Wang Chongrong said.

"Now that the soldiers and horses of Huangchao are recruited, all those who surrender will be pardoned, besides, Zhu Wen is brave and available, I am afraid that it is ominous to kill him, and I will use this person for other purposes, you don't have to persuade and shake the hearts of the army, otherwise you will be killed."

Yang Fuguang knew that if Wang Chongrong surrendered Zhu Wen, then his status would definitely not be below him, so he became jealous and wrote a letter to Huang Chao, informing him of Zhu Wen's surrender to Tang one by one.

On this day, Zhu Wen returned from training the soldiers, and went to Huang Chao to report as usual, but when he saw Huang Chao, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"General Zhu works so hard, I don't know how to use it to train soldiers?"

Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that the sky was dead and the yellow sky should stand, which destroyed the corrupt rule of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and our generation should follow suit, and our army is imminent, and Chang'an will be conquered in the near future, and we should make plans to train soldiers in case of emergency."

After listening to Zhu Wen's explanation, Huang Chao sneered: "Just in case? It seems that General Zhu has already left a way back for himself, just in case of emergency! ”

Zhu Wen asked Huang Chao what he meant, and Huang Chao made Zhu Wen the official position of the general of Zuojin Wuwei by the imperial court, served as the deputy envoy of the Hezhong Xing Battalion, and gave Zhu Wen the name of Quanzhong, and sneered.

"General Zhu Quanzhong, what a big official position! Didn't the saint give you such a big official position in exchange for my head? ”

Before Zhu Wen could explain, Huang Chao ordered someone to drag him out and behead him.

When Zhu Wen knelt under the knife of the executioner, his mind quickly recalled his life, brilliant, lost, helpless, hesitant, and the ups and downs were very exciting.

He thought that he would die like this, die in a daze, but it would be better to die, and if he died, there would be no troubles.

Just as he closed his eyes, a white mist shrouded him in front of him, and out of the white mist came an old man riding a tiger, this old man claimed to be Zhang Daoling, who came here to save him, and let him join the Wudoumi Sect and preach for himself.

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the word is the way, and the name of the strong is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the king is big. There are four great domains, and the king is one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, the Tao is natural, I saved you, it doesn't matter who you were before, it doesn't matter who you will be in the future, the important thing is to let the people who believe in you know who you are."

Since then, there has been no Zhu Wen in the world, and there is one more sect leader named the God of Night, who hates Huang Chao, Wang Chongrong, the court, and Chang'an, and he wants to make Chang'an like a hell on earth.

Finally, after seven hundred and forty-nine days of retreat, he developed a peculiar and peculiar scent, which he named Centrifia.

Some believers have asked Zhu Wen what exactly is a hundred leaf that can make people so terrible.

Zhu Wen shook his head: "Centrifia is nothing, colorless and tasteless, and has no appearance, but it can bring out the ugliest side of human nature, making people feel that they should do bad things, and if they don't do bad things, they are out of place, coupled with the constant hints of teachings, it has become what it is now."

"So you're the so-called good guy, and it's all about you, right?"

Xiao Jinniang interrupted Zhu Wen's memories and said sharply.
