Chapter 59 Chen Dengyang's investigation

The weather is clear, but it is even colder than when it snows. The winding dragon slowly moved along the snow-white White Wolf Creek.

Chen Deng was wearing a thick coat and followed the army. Looking at the frozen jade belt like a white wolf stream, Chen Deng's depressed mood improved a little.

After all, it is a blessing that he did not die in the White Wolf Creek and became a laughing stock for everyone and brought humiliation to the family.

However, Chen Deng never expected that the person who saved him was the man he was pursuing, and the amazing Liu Yang mentioned by his father was also among them!

Chen Deng immediately proposed to meet Zhang Yang. He wanted to see if Zhang Yang was the kind of person who liked to play with official positions, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would come in a moment when he spoke for the first time. Chen Deng couldn't help but overestimate Zhang Yang in his heart, and passed the first level!

When Chen Deng saw Zhang Yang, when he saw Zhang Yang's half-length hair, Chen Deng's first impression was immediately bad, and he commented in his heart: "It's unfilial to damage his hair and skin at will. How can such people with incomplete morality be successful?"

But when he touched and fell from Bailang Creek, a large piece of flesh that was frozen to pieces. Now even though he applied the good plaster, he still left an ugly scar on his shoulders. Chen Deng couldn't help but he hesitated: "Well... maybe his hair was not intentionally damaged by him..."

Then Chen Deng carefully observed Zhang Yang's treatment of others and found that he did not know the magnitude of his superiors (Wu Na) and did not have the respect of his subordinates. He did not have the majesty of the superiors. Even if he was to the old man and grandchildren who were fishing in the family, he was too humble.

Chen Deng concluded in his heart: "If you don't learn etiquette and law, you don't know the magnanimity. If you don't know how to be respectful when you are superiors, you don't know how to be majestic to your subordinates. If you are too kind and kind, rewards and punishments will definitely be unfair. How can you accomplish something?"

However, not long after, several soldiers sneaked into the village to steal cabbage from farmers. After being discovered, Zhang Yang immediately summoned the law enforcement team and took the two soldiers to the village head. After announcing military rules to several soldiers, he would be beheaded in public to thank the crime of disturbing the people!

However, in the past two days, Zhang Yang's army passed the publicity of the fisherman's family, and with its extremely rules, they did not do anything at all, so they were very popular with the people. The soldiers often entered the village and bought vegetables, chickens and ducks from farmers at the market price even higher than the market price. Not only was the price fair, but they were not as rude as ordinary military men. On the contrary, they were very polite and civilized to treat people. This made these people like it very much.

The soldiers cried bitterly in front of everyone, repented and begged for mercy. In addition, they were just greedy for cheap things and stole a few cabbages, which was not a serious crime. The people also felt that the punishment was too heavy and they begged for forgiveness.

Zhang Yang refused to let go and insisted on killing several people to shock the military power. However, someone started to shout slogans at this time, encouraging the people to stop them, and proclaimed: "The military discipline of Wujiabao is strict and violated, and the common people respect it very much. But these sons are not punished for their crimes, so please be kind to the outside world!"

Then Zhang Yangnai had to obey the public opinion, and released several people after hitting the 20th board again, and fined them to compensate 100 times at the original price. In this way, Zhang Yang was on the custody, but the food and salary for those soldiers for more than a year were gone.

When Chen Deng saw this scene, he wondered again: "The law enforcement is still strict... But how can we easily make mercy because outsiders plead for mercy..."

After that, Chen Deng had to find the right time to examine his knowledge of Yang Yang. When asked about poetry, books, etiquette, and Chinese Mozi, Guanzi's book, Zhang Yang almost didn't know anything, either laughing and interrupting or making a vague statement. Chen Deng looked at Zhang Yang who didn't know how to understand and smile, and couldn't help but shook his head and sigh, and commented in his heart: "The amazing and talented people are not knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but knowing the past and the present, how can they be so unacademic and just pretending to be a substitute? My father was misunderstood!"

But then, Zhang Yang saw Chen Deng's contempt and smiled silently: "Brother Yuanlong, he seems to be very disdainful of Mr. Liu. Did he surprise Brother Yuanlong with his knowledge?"

Chen Deng is now just a minor official who was compromised by Tao Qian and the Chen family, and his reputation is far from being spread far away. In addition, Chen Deng knew that Zhang Yang was not a local, so he just changed his name Chen Deng to Chen Shan, and even the name Wenlong was not changed. When Zhang Yang heard the three words Chen Wenlong, he knew that this person must be Chen Deng!

Chen Deng changed his name and was surrounded by him like this. Zhang Yang could also guess what he was going to do. He had to carefully examine his abilities and character to decide whether he should continue to provide gifts to Wujiabao next time.

Their Chen family is so kind and dedicated, so Zhang Yang naturally deserves to be worthy of them. Chen Deng is also a capable person. If he can make him a member of his own, even if he is not his subordinate, he will at least be an ally. Zhang Yang will have to be careful next!

Chen Deng held his fists and bowed, "How dare you? There are countless capable people in power in the world, and General Liu is also an outstanding person."

Zhang Yang was not angry, but just paced and smiled gently, "Brother Yuanlong claimed to have read poetry, books, etiquette, and learned hundreds of classics. Then Brother Yuanlong must be very familiar with the Analects of Confucius?"

Although Chen Deng was puzzled by Zhang Yang's question, he still said confidently: "Yes, since he was six years old, he has been studying the Analects of Confucius. He has been working hard for more than 20 years and can memorize it like a flow!"

Zhang Yang nodded and smiled, "Then, Brother Yuanlong, please memorize the Analects of Confucius backwards."

Chen Deng choked and almost fell to pieces.

Zhang Yang shook his head with a smile and apologized: "Just just a joke, Brother Yuanlong doesn't have to take it seriously. However, I really have something about Confucius and his disciples here. I believe my brother knows it."

"Please speak!" Chen Deng wiped his sweat and said with a sigh. As long as it was not a question of memorizing it, you can't even think of stumping him Chen Deng!

Zhang Yang raised his hands behind his back and asked softly: "Sage Kong has 72 virtuous disciples?"

Chen Deng nodded and said without any doubt: "Yes, whether it is Ran You, Zeng Xihua, or Zilu, they are all rare great sages. Even his disciples are so virtuous, which shows how wise and wise Saint Confucius is!"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then - may I ask, when Confucius asked Zeng Xihua and how many ambitions Ran had, how many of her 72 disciples were adults and how many children were? This question was mentioned in Confucius' book, and only after he read it by chance, he knew it, but he didn't know if his brother knew it."

Chen Deng suddenly thought hard like petrification, and finally said with certainty: "When did Saint Kong mention how many of his disciples are adults and how many of them are underage?! Don't ask me to help me!"

Zhang Yang laughed: "What are you doing? Since I said that, it must be based on it."

"What is the basis? Please tell me!" Chen Deng asked with a glaring at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang held his hands behind his back and recited to the sky: "At that time, Confucius asked about the ambitions of several disciples, and there was a sentence that mentioned the age of Confucius' seventy-two disciples. 'There are five or six or seven boys, and the five desires of the boys, and the five desires of the boys, and then they returned to swim.', which means that there were fifty or six or three hundred disciples who had been crowned as adults. There were six or seven or threety children. There were six or seven or fourty children who were underage... Brother, it's okay... Well, it's fine, don't be too discouraged. How can one not leave blind spots or blind spots when studying alone? Communicate and learn more... Confucius also said, 'Three people must have my teacher when they walk.' Choose the good ones and save them, and the bad ones should be. It's no big deal to know the mistakes to improve. You have made progress..."

Chen Deng put away his contempt for Zhang Yang, and at the same time felt that he was indeed a bit rigid in some aspects.

But at the same time, he also strengthened his determination to continue to pursue Zhang Yang. He wanted to see if Zhang Yang was really amazing in the end, and whether he could really deserve the support of their Chen family, Zang family and Huang family, and eventually bring prosperity to their family.

Chen Deng wrapped his coat tightly, stomped his feet with a little numbness, looked at Xia Pi City, where the shadow could be seen, and sighed: "If this monk country was willing to send troops to help, and he would kill Que Xuan from the beginning, how could there be the Tianshui Kingdom later? How could these people from Wujiabao have the opportunity to enter Fei County? For example, if the general He Jin at that time was more confident and decisive, he would have to fight the ten generals alone to eliminate the ten generals instead of ordering Dong Zhuo to enter the capital, how would there be today's chaos in the world... Men should take advantage of it.

In this chaotic era, the people are saved, and the rebellion are over... But, today, the heroes are really unbearable. They are either cunning and selfish, or greedy and bloodthirsty, and they are definitely not lords who can surrender to them... Compared with the bandits of Wujiabao, those princes are not as good as them... Things are common in the world, success or failure is difficult to predict. Perhaps Wujiabao may succeed and may not be sure... No! I still have to carefully examine it. This is a major event that concerns the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the whole family. How can you be careless!"

At this moment, Zhang Yang was holding Wu Na's little hand and said softly: "Do you still remember that you were given a pill at Qianjia Village that day. I hugged you and escaped on the snowy night. When I arrived at that trap array, I said that if I could escape from birth, I would definitely take you to Futu Temple to kowtow to the Buddha Lord sincerely. I didn't care about it at that time. Now that we have finished our work, we should go there to fulfill our wishes."

When Wu Na heard Zhang Yang's words, she couldn't help but think of the night when she first showed the girl's admiration. The snowy land couldn't help but flash the spirit of reminiscence in her eyes.

She nodded gently to Zhang Yang and smiled, "Yeah..."

Hearing that Zhang Yang was going to take Wu Na into the city to fulfill his wish, Liao Hua asked, "The army has now arrived five miles outside Xia Pi City. Should we enter the city and repair it?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled, "We'll just go for a while, and it won't take long. It's so troublesome to use it there. It's better to go back soon."

"That's the same..." Liao Hua nodded and stopped talking. But Zhang Yang was telling the real reason in his heart.

In history, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was killed when he passed by Xuzhou. Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou, and the entire territory of Xuzhou was like a frightened bird.
