Chapter 363: Arresting the Rebel Party and Resenting Relatives and Nobles

Zhang Laohan has lived in Luoyang City for half his life, and when he was still the emperor surnamed Liu of the previous dynasty, he has lived for more than 20 years, and now the capital of the Great Wei State has been replaced by the second emperor. Of course, who is the emperor is basically no different to ordinary people like Zhang Laohan, in fact, in his heart, he hopes that everyone in the world will recognize his emperor, so that his old man can spend his old age safely. He originally had two sons, but because there was an emperor surnamed Liu in the west and a king surnamed Sun in the east, they refused to agree with the emperor of Great Wei, and as a result, the eldest son died in Hanzhong and the younger son died in Huainan. His wife was also in excessive pain and died, leaving him alone in the world to survive. Zhang Laohan was originally guarding two acres of thin land, but later he grew older, and his strength of his hands and feet was not good, so he built a thatched hut outside the city gate and opened a small teahouse, which was not only convenient for pedestrians, but also barely made ends meet.

On this day, Zhang Laohan still got up early as usual, cleaned up the old tables and chairs, and squatted under the stove to boil water. Unexpectedly, before a pot of water was boiling, I heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that a lot of people had come. There was business coming to the door early in the morning, Zhang Laohan was so happy in his heart that he hurriedly got up and came to the front, but saw many heavily armored soldiers breaking into his small shop. Zhang Laohan has lived outside the city gate for so long, and he can clearly distinguish these neatly armored soldiers, not the troops on the city defense, but the tiger and the forbidden army in the emperor's forbidden palace.

After a few years of ushering in, Zhang Laohan has already learned the ability to greet guests, looking at the other party's coming and going, he hurriedly put down a smile on his face, and stepped forward and said: "Does the military master want to drink tea, or have breakfast?" The steamed buns haven't been out of the cage yet, but the tea is ready, you can ...... first" Before he finished speaking, a small officer on the opposite side was already impatient, interrupted him, and asked, "You opened this shop?" You're the only one? As soon as Zhang Laohan nodded, he listened to the other party again: "Arrest this thief for me." Then two wolf-like soldiers came forward to arrest and bind them.

Zhang Laohan is in business, where have you seen such a battle? was so frightened that he suddenly collapsed to the ground, kept kowtowing, and shouted: "Wronged, the military master is wronged." The officer sneered a few times, pointed to the door of the store, and said, "Sticking such a rebellious thing, you dare to say that you are wronged?" Zhang Laohan found that there was an extra notice on the door of his store, but he didn't know a basket of words, and when he got up in the morning and opened the store, he didn't notice that there was such a thing, let alone what was written on it. hurriedly shouted loudly: "Master Jun, the little old man is illiterate at all, I don't know what is written on it, and I ask Master Jun to know it." ”

The officer stepped forward and tore down the notice, saying, "This is a document written by the anti-thief Sima Yi, insulting the saint today." You can save this nonsense and go to prison to talk about it. As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates to do it, and in three or two clicks, he tied up Zhang Laoye. Zhang Laohan was even more frightened when he heard the above words insulting the emperor, although he couldn't stop shouting grievances in his mouth, where would the other party listen? still dragged him out of the door, saying that he was going to be taken to the yamen to be tortured. Poor old man, how can he withstand their tossing with old bones? After a few wails, he fainted and fell to the ground. The officer next to him thought that Zhang Laohan was pretending to be dead, and shouted a few times, but when there was no movement, he wanted to kick a few times.

"Stop." There was a loud shout outside, and a military general walked in, pushed the little officer away with a palm, and said angrily: "Do you still know the king's law?" The force in his hand was not small, and the officer took a few steps back in succession, and fell to the ground, knocking out two teeth. After getting up, Ben was about to beckon his subordinates to take down this guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he recognized that the person was Chen Sheng, the captain of Sili, and hurriedly saluted: "The humble post is on the order of General Xiahou to arrest the thief, and I hope that General Chen will be convenient." ”

"Anti-thief?" Chen Sheng had already investigated and dealt with Zhang Laohan's breath at this moment, but he was just frightened and fainted temporarily, so he stood up and shouted: "In the past two days, your forbidden army has been arresting thieves everywhere, not 10,000 but 8,000. Can a real thief be caught? The prison is full of unjust souls who have died of death. Now that I have met you today, I can't let you do anything, and I won't all get out. "It stands to reason that Chen Sheng has no right to ask about the forbidden army, this group of sergeants all know that he is very upright on weekdays, and his martial arts are very good, who dares to touch his moldy head and say the word "no"? They all walked out together.

The officer originally wanted to argue for a few words, but when he saw his subordinates, he walked away, and saw Chen Sheng staring at him viciously, so he had to swallow back what he wanted to say and follow everyone out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was slapped in the face by another person, beaten to the ground, and fell to the ground. Although this person's position is not high, after all, he is the leader of the forbidden army, and he usually relies on his identity and is used to bullying people, but he thought that he would be beaten again and again today, and he was about to scold, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the chief Xiahou Mao looking at him with a frosty face. Suddenly frightened, his face was pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy repeatedly, but he couldn't help thinking about it in his heart, where he accidentally offended his boss.

In fact, he didn't offend Xiahou Mao, but as the emperor's forbidden army, he was driven out by Chen Sheng so easily, and he didn't dare to let a fart go, wouldn't it make Xiahou Mao, who was the governor of the forbidden army, lose face? On the same day, the first emperor Cao Pi was assassinated in Xudu, and Xiahou Mao followed Cao Rong to the camp to put out the fire, but he fell for the assassin's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and instead achieved Chen Sheng's great achievement of saving the Lord alone. Xiahou Mao not only did not have any credit at all, but was also severely reprimanded by Cao Pi. Cao Pi was escorted by Chen Sheng for the last period of time, and he also had the heart to let him take charge of the forbidden army again and replace the Xiahou brothers. Later, although he changed his mind, he still let Chen Sheng take over the defense of Luoyang, making it clear that the Xiahou brothers were incompetent. Since then, the Liangzi of Xiahou Mao and Chen Sheng has been concluded.

Today, Xiahou Mao was ordered by the emperor to arrest the rebels inside and outside Luoyang City, and he didn't want to meet Chen Sheng to stop him, so he wanted to play it by his head, so he kicked his subordinates again and scolded: "Shame is conspicuous." Then he walked into the store, looked at Chen Sheng and said, "When did General Chen worry about the affairs of the forbidden army?" ”

Xiahou Mao's voice came from outside, and Chen Sheng secretly said that it was not good, knowing that these brothers had been holding a grudge against themselves since Xu Du came back. At this moment, hearing Xiahou Mao's unkind tone, Chen Sheng had no choice but to let go of Zhang Laohan, got up and said: "It's not that the official has overstepped his authority, it's really the general's noble family who doesn't care about right and wrong, and arrests people indiscriminately." The official was afraid of damaging the general's face, so he had to take control on his behalf. ”

"Well managed, well managed." Xiahou Mao laughed dryly a few times, beckoned his subordinates in, pushed him in front of Chen Sheng with one palm, and said, "Since General Chen has already done it, you might as well control it a few more times and kill it." After Chen Sheng respected Xiahou Mao as a famous general, he was considered a clan relative, and he had the heart to tolerate a little, but he didn't want the other party to make such a scoundrel move, so he was very unhappy in his heart, so he avoided it sideways, and frowned: "Since the general is here in person, this official is no longer inconvenient, so please ask the general to go back and punish himself." ”

Xiahou Mao snorted heavily and said, "If the general refuses to do anything, he forgives this person." In this case, then General Ben has to ask the general, what is the crime of obstructing the forbidden army on an errand? This general was ordered by His Majesty, and the general's actions can be regarded as disobeying the holy edict? Chen Sheng guessed that the other party would not spare himself easily, but the hat of "disobeying the holy decree" was never worn, so he had to say: "Your Majesty wants the general to track down the origin of the text, not to kill innocents indiscriminately." In the past two days, the forbidden army has been arresting people everywhere inside and outside Luoyang City, and how many of them are real traitors? On the contrary, it made the city full of wind and rain, and the people were panicked, is this also in accordance with His Majesty's decree? ”

Xiahou Mao didn't know that in the past two days, the forbidden army had not even arrested a single traitor, and the text had not decreased, and it was still posted everywhere every morning. But the emperor made a fate, within three days, to find out the mastermind behind the text, seeing that the deadline was approaching, Xiahou Mao had to continue to arrest everywhere, with the intention of preferring to indulge in vain, which could be regarded as an explanation. Now being questioned by Chen Sheng face to face, how can Xiahou Mao's face be hung up? At the moment, he said angrily: "Okay, you Chen Sheng, not only disobeyed the holy will, prevented the general from arresting the thief, but also came out with this rumor to confuse the public." Come on, take it for General Ben. "There were forbidden soldiers on the left and right, and when they heard Xiahou Mao's order, they all picked up their weapons and surrounded them.

"Who dare?" Chen Sheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in the past two days, he has seen the forbidden army doing nonsense one after another, and he has long been angry in his heart, and he has been so troubled by Xiahou Mao, where can he still bear it? With a loud roar, he stepped forward, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked around at everyone. All the forbidden troops were intimidated by his momentum, and they did not dare to act rashly, only the officer who had just been punished by him, who was angry in his heart, because he saw his official's order, he thought that he had a backer, so he wanted to draw his sword and sneak attack. This person was originally kneeling in front of Chen Sheng, the distance was extremely close, and as soon as he moved, he was noticed by Chen Sheng, and without waiting for his long sword to come out of the sheath, he raised his leg and kicked him in the jaw, and immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

"You still dare to commit murder?" Xiahou Mao was furious, and he was about to reach out and draw his sword. The sword was halfway out of its sheath, but it was glared at by Chen Shenghu, and suddenly the momentum was completely lost, and the sword was slowly put back. Chen Sheng has always hated this kind of gentleman, seeing that Xiahou Mao didn't dare to enter, and he was afraid of being laughed at if he wanted to retreat, he was very disdainful in his heart, snorted lightly, ignored it, and leaned down to treat Zhang Laohan.

Xiahou Mao naturally knew that Chen Sheng didn't take him seriously, but his martial arts were really not elegant, so he gasped twice, dropped two beautiful words, and left in a hurry with his subordinates. Chen Sheng looked at Xiahou Mao's back with hatred, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the other party was on the emperor's orders, and he was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble out of thin air. But if he wants to see death and can't save him, he can't do it, so he has to take one step at a time, and it's a big deal to be removed from his post again.

Chen Sheng shook his head and sighed lightly, not thinking about it. After sighing, he heard someone behind him: "Could it be that this old man is seriously injured, can you let me try it below?" When he turned his head, he saw a handsome young man standing behind him, and it was strange that he didn't realize when the other party came. The young man didn't wait for him to answer, and directly stepped forward to check on Zhang Laohan's injury, but said: "This old man is just too frightened, and there is no big problem, the general does not need to worry." Chen Sheng saw that he stretched out his hand to take his pulse, and his technique was very skillful, so he knew that he must be proficient in medicine, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother." ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, just when he saw the general helping this old man, he admired it very much in his heart. I wonder if I can get acquainted? As the young man spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently rubbed a few acupuncture points on Zhang Laohan's body. Chen Sheng made friends with love, and immediately said: "In Xia Chen Sheng, I haven't consulted yet...... the other party also replied with a smile: "In Xia Ye Feng."
