Chapter 33 Zhao County ordered the protection of the short people's hearts
"I don't want my little Pei County to be a place where the dragon is hidden and the tiger is crouching, the two heroes are both strong in martial arts, with unique skills, not today's competition in the ring, how can this county know that there is such a character?" Xiao He continued: "The two heroes came down to speak! Fan Hao and Zhou Bo jumped out of the ring to meet everyone. The county order said: "The two strong men are both equipped with unique skills, which opened my eyes. However, there is only one prison officer, and one of the two must be chosen, and the other can serve as a prison officer. I don't know what the two of you think? Fan Xu hurriedly said: "I'm a pig killer, I don't want to be an errand, don't beat my idea, just the road was uneven!" Xiao He said: "Fan Zhuangshi, I have also heard of your name a long time ago, adults cherish talents, since they have the ability, they should contribute to the country, not be righteous." How are you two archery? You might as well compete in public, so that you can decide today's Wu Kui. Fan said: "I don't know how to shoot arrows, and I am willing to bow to the wind." Xiao He asked Zhou Bo again. Zhou Bo replied: "You can shoot through the sandwich rhinoceros armor within 300 steps." "Everyone was amazed. At this time, Wan Qitu ordered someone to take his bow and arrows, handed them to Zhou Bo, and asked someone to put a pair of heart armor made of rhinoceros armor three hundred steps away. Zhou Bo said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's ugly. So he raised his bow and stretched out his arrow, and shot an arrow in front of him, and the arrow was not biased or slanted, and it was in the heart armor, and it was firmly pierced into it. After the sergeant inspected, he reported loudly: "The heart armor has penetrated!" The onlookers burst into applause. The county order was overjoyed, so Zhou and Fan were invited to the county to feast and celebrate.
The heroes and heroes of Pei County all came to the county hall and sat down, and after the banquet was set, they drank freely. Everyone was drinking happily when someone ran in and reported, "My lord, it's not good! The guy who was ousted by Fan Yingying today gathered 100 thugs and surrounded the county government, saying that he would hand over Fan Xu, otherwise he would ......" Without waiting for the person who reported to finish speaking, Fan Xu jumped up and shouted: "Otherwise? My lord, I'm going to take this thing and tie it to a stake and whip him three hundred lashes!" Zhao Feng stopped. Fan Hao shouted loudly: "My lord, what is so terrible about this kind of thief? Zhao Feng saw that Fan was impatient, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the adults have not spoken yet, why are you arresting people? Xiao He said: "My lord, Gao Guan is a notorious guy. Today's siege of the Yamen is to blackmail adults, this is also too rampant, and he should be arrested and questioned. Fan Xu said: "Yes, leave this matter to me!" The county ordered: "Don't mess around, that kid can't afford to offend, in case you get to the county supervisor, you can't afford to be guilty?" Fan Xu asked angrily: "My lord, if you don't take Gao Guan, are you going to hand me over?" The county commander said: "You are indeed a butcher, think about his uncle is the county eunuch, if he condemns the crime, how can you afford it?" Seeing that the county order was protecting Gao Guan, Fan Hao said, "Lord Zhao, do you still want to hand me over?" The county commander said: "Listen to me, how can I hand you over to him!" But now you go out with me and apologize to that kid, and he won't be in trouble again, which is called 'forgiving when you should be forgiving.'" What do you think? ”
When Fan Xu heard that Zhao County Commander wanted him to apologize to Gao Guan, he got up and scolded the county order: "Dog official, why should I apologize to him?" When the county magistrate saw Fan Hao scolding him as a dog official, he scolded Fan Xu: "Butcher, you just entered the yamen, and you have no one in your eyes, despising the county, do you understand the rules?" Fan laughed and said, "Bullshit rules! Your rules are for the good, but not for the wicked and the wicked who oppress the people? How many bad things did Gao Guan do in the township, and you didn't take him to eliminate harm for the people, but you were afraid of what he would do? What a snobbish! The county magistrate was annoyed and angry, so he scolded Fan Xu: "Butcher! It's not for the sake of selecting talents for the country, I would have blasted you out a long time ago, and I dared to go wild in front of this county! Fan Hao was furious, overturned the table case in one hand, turned around and left, and scolded: "Dog officer, I went by myself, who is rare about your dog hairy jailer!" How can a dignified husband be an errand boy like you? With that, he walked out of the hall in a huff.
It turned out that Gao Guan was knocked out of the ring by Fan Xu today, and he felt that he had lost face, and then he gathered a hundred and ten thugs, relying on the large number of people, to settle accounts with Fan Xu. At that time, Fan Xu ran out of the gate and saw Gao Guan riding a horse, holding a machete, showing off his might, Fan Xu scolded: "The surname is Gao, it's not that grandpa is afraid of you, it's just because the dog official protects you." If you know how to lift up today, give way! Otherwise, you will be killed and returned to the West! Gao Guan laughed and said: "The surname Fan, if you want to go over today, I'm afraid that the guy in my hand won't agree." Fan Hao was furious, and just as he was about to make a move, the county magistrate rushed out of it and shouted: "Butcher! If you dare to spread wild in front of the yamen of this county, I will immediately ask someone to ask you for your guilt! Xiao He also dissuaded Fan Xu from doing it. Fan Hao was furious, looking up to the sky and shouting: "The eldest husband is angry with people, he can't beat him, he can't kill him, I'm really angry!" After that, he strode away, but on both sides of the front wall of the yamen were high-level people, so Fan Hao was angry, so he walked to the door wall, put his hands on the wall and pushed hard, and the door wall was knocked down, and Fan Xu stepped on the ruins and broke the wall and walked away. Gao Guan saw that Fan Hao was crazy, and he didn't dare to intercept him anymore, so he let him go. Zhao Feng was shocked and frightened when he saw Fan Hao like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Gao Guan, and then said in a low voice: "Please ask Gao Gongzi to get off the horse and go to the county to talk about it?" Gao Guan saw that Fan Hao was gone, and he was even more arrogant, so he slapped the horse and walked in front of Zhou Bo, squinting his eyes and said: "It's cheap for you kid today, you treat your big official as a big official, let's see." Hum! The county magistrate hurriedly said to Zhou Bo: "Don't thank you Gao Gongzi yet!" If he hadn't agreed, you would be where you are today! Zhou Bo's heart trembled, he felt inexplicable, and he didn't know what to say, but his lips moved. Zhao Feng pointed at Zhou Bo and said in a strange voice: "Look at you, you are not smart, what else can you do?" As he spoke, he staggered around behind Gao Guan's horse. Gao Guan turned back to the county order and said, "Whoever dares to go against this son, I will blast him out of Pei County!" Hum! After speaking, he glared at Zhou Bo hatefully, and then left with a sigh of rage.
Zhao Feng watched Gao Guan go away, and then turned around and said coldly to everyone: "From now on, you must keep to yourself, you can't think too highly of yourself and have no one in your eyes, and don't make trouble!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the yamen. Wan Qitu and Wei Cai also walked in. Xiao He, Cao Shen and the others felt inexplicable, so they stood there silently, silent. Xiao He also knew in his heart at this time that the county order must be jealous because Zhang Cang recommended him, didn't he just say it to him? After being silent for a long time, he said helplessly: "I'm going to the county tomorrow, I hope you can do it yourself!" Xiao He said, tears flashing in his eyes.
The next day, Xiao He handed over all the affairs in the county, and it was already afternoon. Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Cao Shang, Ren Ao, Peng Zu, Liu Ji and other heroes in the county came to see him off together, and then walked out of the county government with Xiao He in his arms. Xiao He sighed with emotion: "Alas, 'Forget it! Since no one in the country understands me, why should I miss my hometown? There is no one who can carry out US politics with me, and I will follow the example of the sage Peng Xian and jump into the river. The crowd was shocked. Cao Shen hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao, why do you say such a thing? It turned out that Xiao He was reciting the last few sentences of Qu Yuan's poem "Lisao", which was forbidden at that time. The reason why Xiao He chanted was to show his ambition, and secondly, he didn't treat them as outsiders, so he smiled bitterly: "You are so careful, Qu Yuan felt that the Chu State was completely hopeless, so he ended his life in despair!" How could I Xiao He? Wait slowly......" said and came to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion. Everyone went for Xiao He, and after Xiao He drank the farewell wine, he said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then went to the county.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the heroes of Pei County waved goodbye to Xiao He in the pavilion, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone's faces, looking so pale and weak. After Xiao He went to the county, Cao Shen served as the county governor of Pei County. Zhou Bo served as the prison guard. Liu Ji served as the captain of the city gate, and he was of the same rank as Cao Shang, who was Cao Shen's cousin. Liu Ji often took advantage of the convenience of officialdom and took care of Xiahou Ying in prison.
