Chapter 393: Silence is golden
Chen Letian asked the officials to dig, but of course the officials would not move, but looked at the county and the headhunter. The county man nodded, and they only then excavated.
According to the position pointed by Chen Letian, the officials began to dig one by one. The soil of Shu is soft, and it is much easier to dig than in the northwest. The three-foot-deep and three-foot-square hole was dug out in more than half an hour, but still nothing was dug up.
The head catcher walked up, squatted down to check the soil that had been turned up, and said to the county: "My lord, this soil should have been touched for a long time." And according to the purpose of this pine tree, there is no need for the family to dig so deep into the soil. ”
Of course, the county Cheng knew the meaning of catching the head, and of course the onlookers next to him also understood. But the people did not dare to say anything at this time. Walking down the hall, the guards followed the county lord who was quiet all the way, and really walked in front of the people, and the people were still quite stressed.
However, the young people are more worshipful than afraid, after all, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have always had more respect for officials than fear of the Liang State and the Wei State.
This is also what the former pilgrim said, if the people are afraid of you as the ruler, it is not a good thing, if they all respect you as the ruler, it is a symbol of prosperity.
Zhao Dianshi stood beside him, except for the constant dripping sweat on his forehead, there was no other abnormality. Chen Letian glanced at him and thought to himself, this Zhao Dianshi is very calm.
Only Zhao Dianshi himself knows that this time he is afraid that he will not be able to escape the catastrophe, but he has been in the position of Dianshi for so many years, although he is not as good as the county and the county, but he is always an official, and the calmness that he has practiced after living in the official position for a long time is there after all. Now is not the time to kneel and beg for mercy, let alone the place to beg for mercy. If you really want to kneel and cry and beg, you have to go back to the yamen and close the door in front of the county lord. Maybe the county lord will help think of ideas for the sake of being obedient for so many years, but now, the only best way to deal with it is not to speak.
"Doesn't Zhao Dianshi have anything to say?" Chen Letian asked suddenly, and then he clearly saw the green tendons on Zhao Dianshi's face twitch violently because of his words, and then regained his composure.
Zhao Dianshi shook his head and did not speak.
After Chen Letian finished the temptation, he secretly gave Zhao Dianshi a thumbs up in his heart, brother is like this
That's right, the thing hasn't been dug up at the moment, and it's useless to distinguish, and when the thing is dug up, it's even more useless to distinguish. You Zhao Dianshi's can't be solved in front of the people now. When the money is dug up, you will not be able to speak. You can only wait, wait for you to be imprisoned, wait for the county to spare your life. If the county doesn't save you, then you can only and must take everything on yourself and try not to implicate your family. And all this is what you can't do now, and now, you must be silent, and you can only be silent. Silence is golden, and the truth is simple.
"My lord, I would like to ask you if you have a question. Chen Letian bowed slightly.
Standing beside Lord Xiancheng, of course Chen Letian couldn't raise his head and chest up below like he did when he was in the lobby. Next to him is the county Cheng, who is slightly shorter than him in terms of momentum, but he can't steal the limelight of the county Cheng, let alone pretend to be a ghost next to the court officials, of course it's a good thing to respect something.
Watching the officials digging there, without saying anything, I always feel that the atmosphere is weird, so let's find something to say.
The county didn't know that Chen Letian had nothing to say, and thought that Chen Letian really had something to ask him, so he said, "Classmate Chen, please speak." "After all, he is a disciple of the academy or a disciple of the cultivation academy, and this identity of one out of 100,000 miles makes even the county lord who is an official of the imperial court dare not take Chen Letian seriously in person.
Because there are tens of thousands of counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are hundreds of disciples in the cultivation institute every year. It can't be said that the disciples of the cultivation academy must be more shrewd and powerful than the county Cheng, but in terms of possibility, it is definitely much more difficult to take the cultivation academy than the county Cheng.
This is the real reason why the county does not dare to be too lazy.
Chen Letian said: "My lord, when the students came to Bazhong City, they found that there didn't seem to be many people guarding the walls of our city, and there were so many bandits in the mountains and wilderness, what if one day was unhappy and rushed into the city at night to slaughter and loot?"
The county lord knew that Chen Letian was running out of words, and said with a smile: "In our Great Song Dynasty, the bandits who dare to do this have not yet been born, and dare to rush into the city? ”
Lotte made a sudden realization and said, "What the adults said is that the students didn't expect this. When the students were in the Northern Army before, the general often took us to make some assumptions, what our ten people defend a city, the enemy has 3,000 people to attack the city, how do we defend it, etc., so when we go to a place, we will look at some of the things he defends the city, and the adults are not to blame. ”
The county lord was taking a cup of tea handed over by his entourage, and just took a sip, when he heard Chen Letian's words, he almost choked, coughed twice and said: "You used to be in the Northern Army?
Chen Letian hummed and said, "I am also from the Northern Army now, and my military membership is still there." It's General Li Rongsheng's Northern Army, and I was the commander of the forward battalion before I left the army. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people next to them looked sideways at Chen Letian, and the head catchers and fast catchers even cast admiring glances at Chen Letian.
As for the county lord, when he heard the five words of the commander of the forward battalion, he immediately wanted to be disrespectful and disrespectful, but he still had to take into account his identity, try to make his voice appear flat, and said with a slight bow: "Oh, it turns out that classmate Chen is still the captain of the forward battalion of the Northern Army, what a hero." I heard that the forward battalion of the Northern Army is the elite of the elite, and I heard that 300 soldiers of the forward battalion are worth 30,000 troops of the Liang State and Wei State. ”
"Yes, yes, everyone says that, is it true that you tell me about it?"
"Who's asking nonsense, it must be true, is this still false? ”
The curiosity of the people was aroused for a while. This kind of rumor has been around for a long time.
The forward battalion of the Northern Army, that is, the sharp edge of the knife of the Northern Army, 300 is worth 30,000.
Chen Letian said with a smile: "How can there be such a god, it's all nonsense, don't believe it." ”
Liu Daming suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me about one thing. Everyone focused on Master Liu again.
Liu Daming cleared his throat and said, "About half a month ago, we once walked around under Tietou Mountain. As for what to go around, it is inconvenient to reveal it to you for the time being. Anyway, it was the afternoon of that day, and a group of seven or eight of us walked around the foot of the mountain, and then entered the mountain..."
