Zhou Yuanfu was immediately confused by the question. He thought that this old man had gone insane. How could he care about Diao Chan? He didn't even take a second look at her. It was simply an injustice.
Magistrate Jia also looked at Wang Mao awkwardly, and Wang Mao nodded lightly.
"Since Mr. Zhou expresses his love for her, and the beauty of an adult is the demeanor of a gentleman, there is no harm in giving Miss Diao Chan to Mr. Zhou."
Magistrate Jia had no choice but to pretend to be generous.
"That's great, hahaha. This disciple of mine is so lustful that I am making you laugh and laugh." Tian Feng was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he immediately agreed, "It's just that I don't want to stay here too much. I will make food at three o'clock tomorrow. Break out the camp and go to suppress the bandits!"
Wang Mao and Magistrate Jia were obviously relieved and thanked them repeatedly.
Zhou Yuanfu was still dumbfounded, thinking that this old boy Tian Feng was too bad. Maybe he had fallen in love with Miss Diao Chan but was too embarrassed to speak up, so he used himself as an excuse. Looking at the expressions on Wang Mao and Magistrate Jia's mind, he probably thought that It's the same with myself.
After everything was settled, Tian Feng said he was tired and wanted to rest.
Here, Magistrate Jia also packed up the things Diao Chan used and sent his servants to deliver them out.
…
After Tian Feng left, Magistrate Jia sighed to Wang Mao: "A stunning beauty like Diao Chan is so rare to find. I originally wanted to offer her to the Governor Wang, but I didn't expect it. Alas."
Wang Mao was silent for a long time and then said: "You are a woman. Magistrate Jia, don't worry about it. I will explain it to my younger brother. But this Tian Feng is quite interesting, and it is not consistent with the legend."
"It must be that seeing Diao Chan's beauty made him unable to control himself, and using the excuse of being a disciple is simply despicable!"
Wang Mao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. This Tian Feng is a little abnormal. This Zhou Fu looks quite familiar. Don't think about him. Let's see how the bandits are suppressed tomorrow."
When Wang Mao returned to his house, he suddenly remembered that the black face was very similar to Zhou Cang. Then he remembered that this person was also named Zhou, and he couldn't help but become more suspicious. That night, he hurriedly wrote a letter and asked his servant Ba Baili to rush it to Wang Yun. .
When Wang Yun received the letter, he couldn't help frowning and handed the letter to Kong Rong next to him.
Kong Rong couldn't help being shocked after reading this, "Since your brother has seen that this person is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, why don't you report it to the government for arrest?"
"Don't be anxious about the civil examination. As mentioned in the letter, Zhou Cang has also led two thousand warriors this week. With the strength of Qi County's troops, he may not be able to catch the thief but will be killed by the thief. It doesn't matter whether he catches Zhou Cang or not. What I am worried about has great intentions!"
Xun Shuang and Ming Gong also finished reading the letter. Xun Shuang stroked his beard and said, "Are you afraid that Zhou Cang will invade Hanzhong and cause trouble?"
"Exactly, this Tian Feng is known for his uprightness. I don't know why he got involved with Zhou Cang. If the two collude, then Hanzhong will not be safe!"
After hearing this, Min Gong said anxiously: "The governor should report this matter to the imperial court immediately and send a large army to encircle and suppress it! If the thieves take over Hanzhong, it will definitely become a big trouble!"
Wang Yun was not in a hurry. Instead, he turned to Xun Shuang and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Ciming?"
"I'm old and tired. I've been running around all these years and my old bones have long since fallen apart. I can't see the cunning rabbit dying and being cooked by lackeys. I'm going to rest."
Xun Shuang was silent for a long time and finally said these few words. After speaking, he walked away on crutches.
Upon hearing this, Kong Rong hurriedly stood up and called, "Mr. Ciming, please don't leave. What should we do about this matter? You should at least come up with an idea!"
Wang Yun said with a smile: "Don't embarrass the old gentleman anymore in the literary examination. Mr. Ciming has already made his opinion clear."
Kong Rong and Mingong were both stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.
Kong Rong asked: "The old gentleman didn't say anything?"
"Does the literary examination know the meaning of the rabbit dying and the dog cooking?"
Kong Rong thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "I understand." He then sat down and shook his head with a wry smile.
Min Gong said anxiously: "You are guessing riddles one by one, but you are leaving me here. Who can answer my questions?"
Kong Rong said: "This cunning rabbit is talking about the Yellow Turban thieves. Now that the Yellow Turban thieves have been basically wiped out, this is the death of the cunning rabbit. What about the lackeys? Of course they are Liangzhou General and us Guandong scholars. In order to wipe out the Yellow Turban thieves, His Majesty the Emperor,
We may impose party bans and pardon scholars, but if the Yellow Turban thieves are really wiped out and the world is at peace, then wouldn’t our situation be..."
Min Gong also fell silent after hearing this.
Wang Yun answered: "Two thousand thieves are trying to disrupt the Han Dynasty. I think it is a wishful thinking. The land of Hanzhong is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in my opinion, this place is more like a pocket and a cage. All these yellow turban remnants will be captured."
Wouldn't it be nice to rush them into a cage, wait for the imperial army to gather, and slaughter them one by one? Hahaha."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Kong Rong also smiled and said: "There is another advantage of Zhou Cang going to Hanzhong this time. Now that the three Zhang Jiao brothers are dead, the only one who can call on the Yellow Turban thieves is the so-called Lei Gong General Zhou Cang. He is bent on plotting Hanzhong, and the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains
The remnants of the army are leaderless, and they will be defeated one by one sooner or later. It is like killing multiple birds with one stone."
Everyone laughed again, and Wang Yun suddenly sighed and said: "I'm not worried about Zhou Cang entering Hanzhong. What I am worried about is that there must be insiders in the court. It seems that these eunuchs are still secretly collaborating with the Yellow Turban thieves. It's hateful."
angry!"
Mingong was confused again, "How did the governor know that there was an internal agent in the court?"
"This is not simple. Hanzhong is no better than other places. How can it be so easy to obtain the official position of Baozhong County Magistrate without internal support? Tian Feng, Tian Feng, actually colluded with the Yellow Turban thieves. I really don't know what this sage book is.
How to read it!" Wang Yun said angrily.
Kong Rong sighed and said: "This horn was originally from my generation and was imprisoned by the party..."
"That's enough! This man has become the enemy of scholars all over the world!" Wang Yun said angrily, "We scholars read the books of sages and learned the principles of ethics! We should try our best to help the emperor when he sees something unclear.
If there are sycophants and eunuchs in the court, we should try to get rid of them, instead of rebelling like Zhang Jiao! A scholar's rebellion is a disgrace to us scholars. This is an open enemy to scholars all over the world!"
Wang Yun's sudden outburst caught Kong Rong off guard, and the atmosphere became cold for a while.
"I was rude, please forgive me, Lord Governor."
Wang Yun also felt that he had spoken a little too harshly, so he waved his hand and said, "Wenju is also tired. Let's go and rest early. I already have an opinion on this matter."
Kong Rong bowed and retreated.
Wang Yun and Min Gong were the only two people left in the room. Seeing that Wang Yun was still angry, Min Gong changed the subject and said: "Zhou Cang's face is dark and easy to recognize. I'm afraid County Magistrate Jia will also recognize him. If this person is
What should I do to report to the imperial court?"
Wang Yun nodded and said: "Well, that makes sense. I will write a letter to my brother right away and ask him to dissuade Magistrate Jia." After saying that, he was about to write a letter. Just as he was about to finish writing, he raised his head and said, "I will write it to the prefect of Runan later."
Zhao Qian wrote a letter and asked you to deliver it personally, it is very important!"
Mingong is a confidant and has nothing to hide, "Should we inform Governor Zhao about this matter?"
"Unless I inform him of this matter, the Zhao family is a big family in Shu County. They respond to every call in Yizhou. If the Yellow Turban thieves only get involved in Hanzhong, it is not a cause for concern, but I heard that there are many rebellions in Ba County. If the thieves collude, it will be beneficial.
The state is in danger. Therefore, I wrote a letter and asked Governor Zhao to remind the people of Yizhou to strengthen their vigilance in Yizhou to avoid sneak attacks by thieves."
Min Gong bowed deeply and said: "The governor is so committed to serving the country and the people, I really admire you!"
Wang Yun let out a long sigh, "These are scabies diseases after all. The most serious problem for me, a man, is in the court. If the eunuchs are not eliminated, the country will never have peace."
…
Seeing that Tian Feng actually brought Diao Chan out, Cui Niu Pi immediately became energetic. He grabbed Zhou Yuanfu and asked questions. Zhou Yuanfu was depressed and didn't bother to answer him. Tian Feng ordered someone to take Diao Chan to an inn for a rest. Zhou Yuanfu and Cui Niu Pi returned to the hotel.
I was hungry, so I simply found a restaurant to eat.
"Brother, tell me, how did you get this little lady?" Cui Niupi was still very interested.
"Ask Mr. Tian, he probably wants to take a concubine." Zhou Yuanfu said angrily.
"How did you become Old Man Tian? Isn't he usually Uncle Tian? Are you fighting over this little lady?"
Cui Niupi was in high spirits and didn't mind watching the excitement.
Tian Feng chuckled, stroked his beard, and stared at Zhou Yuanfu intently. Zhou Yuanfu felt uncomfortable looking at him, thinking that this old man was getting weirder and weirder, so why not give him a whole feather fan and shake it to save him from stroking his beard every day.
"This girl is destined to be with you. And she is so beautiful and beautiful that it won't be wronged to come over and be your concubine." Tian Feng finally spoke, "It depends on the situation, this girl is given to Wang Mao or Wang Mao by Magistrate Jia.
It was given directly to Wang Yun. If so, this girl's fate would be tragic, and she might just be a plaything sent around."
"You are destined to me? Just because she offers me a glass of wine?" Zhou Yuanfu said in confusion.
