Chapter 25: Making a Big Trouble in Linjiang
After committing suicide with Wei Zhongdao, Guo Jia was surrounded and blocked by the Wei family in the Hedong area. Unfortunately, Guo Jia and his five-member team galloped on horseback, coming and going like the wind. They left the Hedong territory in just a few days, and then went to Guanzhong and turned to Sichuan and Shu.
Two months later, Yizhou Ba County.
In Linjiang City, where the sky was getting darker, a carriage slowly came, and two other cavalry guarded the carriage. The four young men who were riding the carriage were all dressed in white and had swords hanging on their waists. At first glance, the ranger's style showed a bit of Confucian style.
"Little Grandpa, there is an inn in front of you. Are you staying there?" Xiao Zhong asked into the carriage.
"You make the decision." Guo Jia sat in the car, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a military book in the other, studying carefully.

At this moment, the curtains of the carriage flashed, and a figure suddenly entered one after another, and rushed into the carriage from the narrow window.
The agile person only made a slight movement, but when he raised his head, he found two swords on his neck.
Guo Jia looked in shock at the burly but slender young man in front of him. This man looked majestic and resolute, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and the most eye-catching thing was that he had white feathers on his head.
Thinking of the bell just now, Guo Jiaqing couldn't help but look at the man's waist, and there was indeed a bell hanging.
"Xiao Yong, Xiao Yi." Guo Jia waved his hand gently, and the two of them put away their swords, lowered the roller blinds, and continued to drive the car.
The extraordinary young man patted his chest, tilted his head and looked at Guo Jia with his lips, "I thought I had entered the wolf's nest. Hehe, scholar, I borrowed you to take refuge in this carriage, and I will leave in a moment."
"Why is Gan Xingba, the Jinfan thief who is not aware of the murder of a man and is hiding his life, the Jinfan thief, who is still killed by others today?"
Guo Jia put down the military books and oil lamps, and threw the wine pot beside him to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was stunned, took the wine pot, but smiled proudly: "It seems that some of the names of the names have been spread. Scholar, you have good eyesight, and you are Gan Ning and Gan Xingba."
After saying that, he opened the wine pot and took a sip. His face tightened, forced the strong alcoholic spirit, wiped his mouth and sighed to Guo Jia: "A certain year ago, I killed a large household who was having a banquet in Shu County. At that time, I tasted a bite of Drunken Immortal, but I didn't expect that I could drink this world's fine wine again today. Scholar, can you also drink this Drunken Immortal Liquor?"
Guo Jia picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp, but his face was no stranger. He was used to drinking the Drunken Fairy Wine, so how could he be choked?
Gan Ning looked surprised, but his expression became somber. Because there was a whispering sound outside the carriage, Guo Jia opened a corner of the curtain with his fingers and saw a team of officers and soldiers sprinting towards him. It was obvious that he was searching for someone.
Because Guo Jia and his party were obviously not like ordinary families, the officers and soldiers did not come up to search. The harsh and awe-inspiring momentum of Xiao Ren and Xiao Zhong, the officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly, for fear of provoking this wealthy family.
After the officers and soldiers left, Guo Jia looked at Gan Ning again, but saw him breathing a long sigh and his expression suddenly became relaxed. He grabbed the wine pot from Guo Jia and took a mouthful of it, saying, "Scholar, I've said goodbye."
Gan Ning was about to jump out of the carriage, but Guo Jia said behind him: "Gan Xingba, can you listen to me?"
Gan Ning stopped moving, looked back at Guo Jia, and asked, "What do you have to say to someone?"
Seeing his impatient appearance, Guo Jia shook his head and chuckled, "I traveled in Shu and often heard the name of Jinfan thief chivalrous, but Gan Xingba. Have you ever thought about the passing of the sun and the moon, how much life is? A rare hero like you can only hide his head and tail, and you are wasted your life, and you don't feel a pity?"
As Guo Jia said, it happened to hit Gan Ning's pain point. He sat down dejectedly and said bitterly: "I also want to accomplish something big, but I have no way to serve the country. The Muslim in Yizhou only knows how to enjoy the pleasure. The bandits are in chaos. He does not want to manage the army and eliminate evil. The officials of counties and counties are fish and meat, and he turns a blind eye. I can't see it, killing a few corrupt officials and killing a few wealthy families in the village."
Immediately, Gan Ning suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the scholar in front of him, so he bowed and asked, "Who hasn't asked for advice yet?"
Guo Jia was so amused that he shook the wine pot that had not left a few drops and said, "Oh, Gan Xingba, I drank a drop of my fine wine. Then I remembered to ask who I am. Haha, I am the next one, Guo's name, Jia, Fengxiao."
"Guo Jia? Guo Fengxiao? Are you that Guo Jia in Yingchuan?" Gan Ning's eyes shone and stared at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was quite surprised. Could it be that his reputation spread all over the world? It is not surprising that the Central Plains area is the young Taigong of Yingchuan is famous far and wide, but Shu is blocked. Has anyone heard his name?
"It's Guo Jia, Yingchuan."
After hearing this, Gan Ning laughed and rubbed his hands, "I thought you were a sour scholar, but I didn't expect that I was a person of our generation. Guo Fengxiao's name is well-known. First, three years ago, Changshe burned down a large army of 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves in a fire. Recently, I heard that Guo Jia, Yingchuan, bought the lives of 37 people from the Wei family of Hedong gentry with one dollar, which was so satisfying."
Is it so satisfying? Guo Jia dare not agree. I guess Gan Xingba didn't even know why he killed people, but he just felt that those famous families should be killed.
As expected, after Guo Jia asked about the reason, Gan Ning said directly: "It must be that the Wei family in Hedong who oppressed the people as a mighty and blessed them, and they can eliminate harm for the people!"
Guo Jia laughed helplessly several times, and then learned from Gan Ning that the Hedong Wei family not only posted a list of wanted Guo Jia in Hedong County, but also secretly distributed huge sums of money to reward Guo Jia's Xiang Shangren.
However, at this time the world was chaotic and the government orders between the states were not yet met. The rewards from the Wei family in Hedong only responded to some of the near Hedong County. However, Guo Jia's name spread all over the world again.
After settled down in the inn, Guo Jia had a long talk with Gan Ning. At dawn, Gan Ning said to Guo Jia hatefully: "This Linjiang County Magistrate is the nephew of the Mu Jian of Yizhou. Three days ago, the county magistrate forced a daughter of a farmer. The girl refused to obey and committed suicide by hanging herself. After hearing this, she was so angry that she led her brothers to kill the county magistrate, but the news leaked, and many brothers were arrested by the officers and soldiers of the county government, and she escaped by luck."
Guo Jia sighed in his heart: Some people say that the Jinfan thief is doing evil, while others say that the Jinfan thief is unparalleled in chivalrousness. No matter what, the Jinfan thief still establishes a foothold in the world by helping the dangers and eliminating evil.
"Xingba, what are your plans now?"
Gan Ning sighed and said in a stern voice: "I am desperate now. The world is big, and a certain person can go, but my brothers who have been through life and death have been imprisoned. How can I survive alone? I also thought about going to the prison alone, but the county magistrate took strict precautions and had no idea how to start."
Seeing Gan Ning looking depressed and embarrassed, Guo Jia stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After thinking for a long time, he said seriously to Gan Ning: "Xingba, I have a plan that may save your brother."
Gan Ning was overjoyed, stood up and held Guo Jia's hand, urging: "What are the wonderful strategies for filial piety? Please tell me."
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and signaled Gan Ning to take his seat. After the two sat down, Guo Jia told Gan Ning in detail his plan. Gan Ning's face became more and more happy. Finally, he punched his right fist in the palm of his left hand and laughed: "I will make a great plan with my foot to turn the Linjiang City upside down!"
The autumn harvest just passed and the weather turned cold. County Magistrate Xie Yuan naturally could not go to the county government office. He hid at home and hugged his wife and concubine warmed his quilt and was dreaming, but unexpectedly, the servant broke into the house, rolled and crawled toward Xie Yuan's bed, and knelt on the ground and screamed in fear.
"Master, Master, it's not good, something big happened!"
Xie Yuan, who had a big belly and a fat body, pooped out of the quilt and scolded with an unhappy expression: "Who asked you to come in? Get out."
"Master, Master, something really happened! There was a rebel in Yongchuan and the city has been slaughtered!" The servant rushed to the head of the bed and shook Xie Yuan, hoping that he could wake up his mind.
Hearing the word "slaughter of the city", Xie Yuan was so scared that his face turned pale. He lifted the quilt and walked out of bed. He grabbed the servants and asked in a trembling voice: "Where did you know about this?"
The servant couldn't breathe and blushed and said, "Yongchuan escaped from a soldier and came to ask for help. The man was outside the door, so the master can ask him to come in and ask questions."
He threw the servant aside, and the barefoot Xie Yuan ran out of the room, and was immediately scared and took several steps back.
There was a man standing outside the house covered in blood, and the terrifying appearance was terrifying.
"Yongchuan, what's wrong with Yongchuan?" Xie Yuan asked in a trembling voice.
The person was dry and said hoarsely: "Last night, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans came near Yongchuan. After breaking the city, they began to slaughter the soldiers and people in the city. I was ordered by the county magistrate to break out of the encirclement and come to Linjiang for help. Please send troops to rescue Yongchuan."
"Come on, beat this person out of me!" Xie Yuan pointed to the soldier who was like a blood man, and was invincible.
After the man screamed and disappeared outside the mansion, Xie Yuan sat on the ground, at a loss.
Yongchuan is only half a day away from Linjiang. If the gang of rebels attacked Linjiang, they might have arrived soon.
Escape or not? Xie Yuan struggled violently in his heart.
If you run away, what if you encounter a thief?
If you don't run away, the thief will be dead when he comes into the city.
However, if you escape, the official will be lost.
If the rebels do not come to Linjiang, or are defeated, they will be promoted instead...
"Where are you here, please notify the county government and mobilize everyone to guard the city. If there are bandits who attack and kill the bandits and make achievements, I will be rewarded with great rewards!"
After giving the order, Xie Yuan hurriedly rushed back to the room, covered himself with a quilt, hugged his concubine tightly, but his body was trembling.
At the corner of the street opposite the county government gate, Xiao Zhong took off his bloody clothes and waited for the officers and soldiers in the county government to run to the four-sided city gate before he turned around and left.
After more than a year as the magistrate of Linjiang County, Xie Yuan has occupied three largest houses in the city and countless land properties.
These three mansions were one after another. One person crawled on the eaves of the houses that were stocking up food and grass in the mansion. After sprinkling turbid oil on the roof, a torch was dropped. Suddenly, flames soared into the sky and thick smoke rolled. When the three of them saw that things were done, they came out across the wall, and then joined in and left quietly.
"Ahem, here, where are you going?" Xie Yuan ran out of the room in panic. When he looked up, he was so shocked that he was full of fear. It was the fire in his own house.
