Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Stories Break New Strategies Chapter 80 Passing Letters A Thousand Miles A Loyal Heart (Autobiography) Part 1
Mountain leaves and susu are rising slowly.
My name is Su Ran.
They all said that I was the most useless county guard in the entire Han Empire.
The county governor's mansion was turned into a private residence. The delivery of government orders in the county depended entirely on the expressions of Jin Zhao and Le Er. Faced with the people being exploited, they were unable to do anything. At the end of the year, the treasury could not even get out a hundred gold.
.
But what they don't know is that I have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for changes in the temples in Gyeonggi, waiting for Jin Zhao to make people angry, waiting for Le Er's soldiers to cause chaos, waiting for strong foreign aid, waiting for the moment when I should appear.
I still remember that that tepid summer six years ago, 18 of us county guards held His Majesty’s edict, rode horses and whipped their whips, and marched out of Chang’an together, which became a legend. The Huaxing County Sheriff should have known that he was with me all the way.
To the north, by the Yingyingling River, we used water as wine, rolled up our sleeves and swore: Since I was born here and grew up here, I will die here, remember this, and dedicate myself to this. I am willing to work hard in this life to create a better world.
achievement!
After arriving in Liaoxi County, it was often late at night, and I always envied the other seventeen colleagues.
Although we have the same mission and rank, at least they have not encountered the trouble of soldiers and bandits. When they fight with the noble families, they can use lip service and play petty tempers, but fighting with the warlords like me is really like a scholar meeting a soldier.
, but it makes sense and I can’t explain it clearly.
In 336 AD, in the name of purchasing military supplies, Le Er led his troops to forcibly break into the treasury of my Liaoxi County and took away more than 5,000 taels of silver. In anger, I led the county soldiers to ask for it. As a result, my
My whole body was stripped clean. How dare I do such a thing, and how could I have the nerve to report it to Zhou Mu! So I could only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.
In 337 AD, that is, four years ago, Jin Zhao led a dog and an eagle to gather spring fat. The people refused, so he killed someone to show his authority. I sent troops to arrest him, but I didn't know that he could not be captured. Instead, a group of villains led by the Qiling Gang broke into the county.
The guards kept coming to question me about my responsibility for "falsely accusing Zhongliang". How strange!
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to court all night and asked the state pastor to send reinforcements from Polu City, but nothing happened.
Since the late emperor, powerful clans have emerged, and the central government has taken back the power of appointing and dismissing county-level chief executives from the state pastors. The power of the state pastors has been further compressed. Faced with this matter, Bo Zhoumu had no choice but to step forward.
After mediation, the matter was settled, and later, the spring fat harvest turned into a military exercise, and the despicable things Le Er and Jin Zhao had done were openly dressed up in what seemed like justice.
I have endured all of this!
Because I know that His Majesty sent me here, it is not as simple as General Wuci and the Qiling Gang. Before leaving, in the west room of the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, I clearly saw the red thread of Le Er
, Connecting with the noble man who went to Tianguan in Chang'an, I need to appear in the right place at the right time, using the Qiling Gang and Le Er as a guide, follow the clues, and help your majesty get rid of this court official who does not obey the king's orders.
.
In the summer of 338 AD (three years ago), I was thinking hard, and a hero named Saibeili broke into my lonely dream. He told me, "Remember your original intention, obey the king's orders, and wait for changes."
Get rid of thieves"!
I suddenly woke up from the wine and woke up in the green, as if I had just woken up from a dream. It turned out that the cold dew was like a dream.
After I saw the word "Li" on the table, I was excited all night. The foreign aid I had been waiting for finally arrived!
Since then, I have tried my best to maintain the best balance between people's survival and greed. When the poor had no money, I had to improvise. Last year happened to be a year of disaster, so I simply gave the county governor's mansion to Jin Zhao.
, in exchange for this year's seeds and the farming tools that the people paid for, they also led the officials to start the old business that the Qiling Gang started from, weaving mats and selling shoes. Although the people were suffering, they never said a word about me.
After all, as long as people live, there is hope!
I am not a good person who spreads good relationships. Everything I do has only one purpose, to make Qiling Help and Le Er become the target of public criticism! There are many helpers for those who are in good ways, but few for those who are unjust. Gradually, there are fewer and fewer helpers from Qiling Helpers.
The only ones left are those who deserve to die, which is exactly what I want!
With the secret help of Hero Sai or Hero Li, I began to secretly collect evidence. I once suspected that Hero Li was a spy sent by Le Er. After several trials, I finally felt at ease!
In my opinion, a general like Le Er who is greedy, shameless and mediocre should be sanctioned by Han law instead of being lynched by the people. Therefore, I want Le Er to accept the most severe sanctions under the principles of the law.
.
A month ago, Jin Zhao, the shameless thief, died!
Le and Er have arms at the same time, which is a great blessing for me.
Counting it all together, I have been waiting for ten years from going to Beijing to wait for His Majesty to confer a post, to waiting for the rebellion of the soldiers and bandits. I, Su Lierang, went from black hair to white hair, from ignorance to maturity, and finally
Made it to this moment.
I thought: The only disobedient one among the ‘Five Masters’ should probably leave!
Great rivers are waiting for me to browse, and great futures are waiting for me to chase. I don’t want to wait any longer, and I don’t want to wait any longer. When my secretary reported to me that “the person who killed Jin Zhao has arrived,” I decided: Regardless of whether it is true or false, I will fight for
Got it!
After making a hasty "thirty-day appointment" with Dongfang Chunsheng, I rode a fast horse alone, carrying a roll of rags on my back, and headed straight to Chang'an, Gyeonggi Province.
I never expected that group of old and young people to have much effect, nor did I believe that there would be people in this group who would kill Jin Zhao. I just wanted to comfort myself.
Alas, without me here, I wonder how many of the elders in western Liaoning can survive this year's harvest of spring fat. Alas, I hope we will live long and share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart!
Along the way, I didn't dare to delay. My crotch was filled with purple lightning, my temples were covered with green frost, and I walked through the towering green mountains, filled with enthusiasm.
I, Su Ran, will eventually die, and the rags I carry on my back will eventually decay, but the hope behind it will definitely last for thousands of years and nourish millions of descendants!
When I reached the border of Zhangwu County, I was unexpectedly intercepted by members of the Qiling Gang disguised as thieves. I gritted my teeth, tightened the reins, and pushed through with all my strength. The people who intercepted me miraculously fell down one by one.
Lai called softly, "Don't panic, Commander Su. I am a dead soldier. I follow the wishes of my eldest brother Sai Beili and come here to help. Sir, just rush forward and leave other matters to me."
I laughed loudly, and the horse was running like thunder, "Hahaha! If you can get help from a noble person for these hundred or so kilograms of meat, it will not be in vain to let him go! Drive!"
The distance between western Liaoning and Chang'an is nearly 1,500 miles, and the military system of the Han Dynasty requires that post stations be set up in every county. I traveled 200 miles a day, changing horses after dropping off at the post, stopping and walking in a hurry, and finally on the ninth day after departure,
Standing outside Xuanping Gate in the northeast of Chang'an.
When I arrived, my face was covered with dust, my temples were like frost, and my whole body was like a puddle of mud. The fuel was almost exhausted, and I was hanging on by a breath of anger.
After Chang'an, I saw Chang'an again. Ten years ago, I was still a high-spirited scholar. When I walked out of this door, I carried endless longing for a future official career and an eternal country. Now I am returning to my old place. I am already middle-aged and cannot bear it.
It's a heavy burden.
Thinking of this, I burst into tears, and I couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, your Majesty, your Majesty, is back!"
Before he could sigh more, a voice came from the darkness, "Sir, please leave quickly. There are thieves here. It's not advisable to stay!"
After hearing what he said, I didn't dare to delay at all. I immediately calmed down my emotions, hugged the rag tightly in my arms, held the reins and led the horse, and quickly entered the city. Under the secret guidance of the masters sent by Saibeili, I turned left and right, and finally came to the teaching hall.
Chapter completed!
