Zhang Hu has been serving as the magistrate of Wenshui County for many years. He eats well, wears well, and rests well. His originally tall body has gained a lot of weight. After being his own local emperor in Wenshui for many years, he still has some aura.
Coupled with the dozens of soldiers standing behind them, they are confident. Each of these soldiers is fully armed. The warm water is rich, and the equipment of the soldiers is better than other places, even better than the county soldiers in other counties. They are all big and round.
Man, standing there is like a mountain.
"It turns out it's Mr. Zhang County. Please drive to the city. My husband has urgent business and has to rush back to Chengdu!" Huang Shisan said with a smile when he saw it was Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu also smiled: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? According to our rules in Wenshui, we open the city at dawn and close the city at night. We cannot open the door to anyone at night, even if I come."
"Zhang Hu, you son of a bitch, I'm giving you face, don't be so fucking ignorant!" Although Huang Shisan is simple and honest, he is not stupid. How could he not understand the meaning of Zhang Hu's words. He is also a Wenshui person,
He knew clearly what Zhang Hu did before. He struck the ground with a big ax and pointed at Zhang Hu's nose and cursed: "The dog's eyes are blind. If it weren't for sir, what's the use of being a county magistrate now that you are here?"
It’s amazing, sir, if you can make you the county magistrate, you can get out!”
"Hahaha..., is that right?" Zhang Hu smiled instead of being angry, and ignored Huang Shisan again, looking up at Su Ren not far away.
Su Ren felt a little strange when he entered the city in the morning. Logically speaking, Zhang Hu would definitely come to greet him. Not only did Zhang Hu not come, but none of the Wenshui merchants came either. Su Ren had some concerns at that time, and now he is even more convinced.
Su Ren winked at Leng Jun. As soon as Leng Jun's horse moved, Zhang Hu on the tower immediately said: "Master Leng, I advise you not to move. In addition to the people you saw, there are thirty archers on the tower."
, as long as I give the order, you people..."
"Zhang Hu, what on earth do you want to do, you little son of a bitch?" Huang Shisan was furious.
Zhang Hu smiled and said: "Nothing, but the city gate cannot be opened tonight. In order to protect the safety of the people of Wenshui, it is our duty as the magistrate of Wenshui County."
Su Ren had already experienced Zhang Hu, a repetitive villain. When they first entered the city, Zhang Hu was rude to them. Later, Su Ren became a common God of Wealth. When Zhang Hu saw Su Ren, he immediately
Become more behaved. The tip-off to Laojun Guan that time was actually a big gamble by Zhang Hu. Maybe he had also approached Hou Jian and Liu Wen before going to Laojun Guan, and Su Ren was just his second plan.
Nominating Zhang Hu as Wenshui County Magistrate actually felt that Zhang Hu had both sides. If there were no problems with him or normal affairs, Zhang Hu would never have the guts to betray him. However, Zhang Hu betrayed today, which proves something.
If something happens, there will definitely be big problems in Chengdu, big ones that even Wen Dang and Chang Shi will not be able to stop.
Su Ren said loudly: "May I ask Mr. Zhang if you can leave the city tomorrow?"
Zhang Hu smiled and nodded: "As long as the city opens at dawn, anyone can leave the city. Now we should ask Captain Su and everyone to go back!"
"You!" Huang Shisan gritted his teeth. He really wanted to rush up to the tower and chop Zhang Hu with a few axes. He turned to look at Su Ren.
Su Ren nodded: "Okay then, let's wait until dawn."
"Sir!" Huang Shisan felt that Su Ren was humiliated because he had not done a good job as a guard. He turned around and was about to rush up, but Su Ren grabbed him by the lapel. Su Ren shook his head slightly and ordered everyone to go back to the inn.
The suffocation in Huang Shisan's chest had no place to escape. He swung the ax and chopped down hard on the big tree beside the road. A big tree as thick as a bowl was chopped down by him and fell to the road with a creaking sound.
: "Zhang Hu, you little bitch, wait for me!"
Returning to the inn again, he asked to open the door. The innkeeper saw a group of angry people and greeted them more diligently. It was still the same house. The innkeeper personally boiled hot water and brought it in for Su Ren to soak his feet to relieve his fatigue.
While soaking his feet, Su Ren began to think about this incident. Cui Jiuming's news had already shown that the Empress Dowager was very angry with the emperor's actions. Putting Dong Zhongshu in jail showed that Confucianism had lost its status in the court. Since Confucianism had lost power
, Wen Dang, who is also a Confucian, will never run away. If Wen Dang can't run away, his two students Chang Shi and Su Ren will definitely be implicated. Maybe at this time, the imperial court's decree is already on the way to Shu County, so Zhang
The tiger is confident.
"Zhang Hu must have got some news!" Leng Jun came in from outside the door and sat down opposite Su Ren: "With this guy's character, even if there is a slight improvement, he will never do this to us. It seems that this time the court
The turmoil has affected a large area, maybe the situation in Shu County will really change."
"So what? I don't believe the imperial court can kill me?"
"Why not? You are the student of Prefect Wen and the future son-in-law of Mr. Dong. From every aspect, you are within the scope of killing Lian."
Su Ren waved his hand: "Do you understand? Don't tell me if you don't understand. Teachers and students are not among the Nine Clans. In addition, I am not Dong Zhongshu's son-in-law. The court has to think of other ways to punish me. Even if I want to be arrested, I have to do it."
I don’t care about my contributions to the imperial court, such as offering salt to the court and quelling the rebellion in Shu County, not to mention the soldiers in Shu County, I don’t worry about what they can do to me!”
"A little Zhang Hu can block you in the city, what else can you do?"
"Zhang Hu is just a clown. It doesn't take much trouble to deal with him. What I'm thinking about now is how to tell Dong Qian about Dong Zhongshu."
The two of them became silent. It was not a good idea for anyone to talk about this issue, so they both made the decision not to tell Dong Qian for the time being. It was already late at night, and Wenshui City was no longer as bustling as it was during the day, especially in the inn where they lived.
, even more quietly. It became deserted and deserted. This desertedness is unsettling and is by no means a good sign.
Su Ren shouted out the door, and Huang Shisan came in immediately. Su Ren said, "Have you arranged a night watch tonight?"
"It's been arranged. There are one more people than when we were in the mountains."
Su Ren nodded: "Tell the brothers, keep your eyes bright, I always feel that tonight will not be peaceful."
A scream suddenly came. Leng Jun jumped three feet high and rushed out with his sword. Huang Shisan held a big ax in both hands, and his big eyes kept patrolling the door and windows.
A guard hurried in: "Sir, the shopkeeper is dead!"
The clanging sound of fighting came out, as well as the shouts of the guards. Everyone who had just slept was awakened. Dong Qian rushed out of the house with a sword, and happened to have a face-to-face encounter with Su Ren. Su Ren ran while
Pointing at Dong Qian, he said: "Go back and protect the twelve mothers and daughters and Leng Yue!"
Dong Qian wanted to curse, but when she saw the look in Su Ren's eyes, she stopped and turned around and ran back.
The shopkeeper died in the lobby. He was hit more than a dozen times all over his body and his head was almost chopped off. This shows how cruel the perpetrator was. Su Ren pinched his nose and took a quick look, then ordered the few people who followed him not to touch anything.
, turned around and ran towards the place of fighting.
In the dark courtyard, no one went out except Su Ren, and there were no lights in the house. Su Ren could notice the eyes lying by the windows and in the cracks of the doors.
Leng Jun was fighting with a man in black. There were several black men and guards lying next to them. Su Ren immediately ordered people to rescue his own people first. Then he said to Huang Shisan: "Help, get this person as soon as possible."
If someone is captured, remember not to kill him!"
He uncovered the body of a man in black and saw an unfamiliar face. He was a young young man, eighteen or nineteen years old at most, but he was surprisingly tall, a head taller than Huang Shisan. I glanced at a few other people, too.
Same young, same good figure.
"Ah!" With a muffled groan, the man in black was stabbed in the shoulder by Leng Jun and kicked to the ground. Huang Shisan's big ax was immediately put on the man's neck: "Don't move, move again and chop."
about you!"
The man really didn't move. When the two guards ran to him, the man had already died. He took off the black cloth covering his face, and saw blood bleeding from seven holes on his black face. He knew he was poisoned at a glance. Leng Jun hurriedly checked.
For a moment, he shook his head.
Su Ren's eyebrows knitted together. He didn't believe that Zhang Hu did this. Zhang Hu didn't have the ability or the courage. These men in black were good at martial arts and looked down upon death. They were more like terrorists in later generations.
"Sir, what is this?" Huang Shisan groped for a long time on the man in black, and suddenly touched a piece of jade from the man. The jade was not big, a very small piece, but the carving was very detailed. Su Ren turned over and over.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see clearly what it was, so I handed it to Leng Jun. Leng Jun only glanced at it and took a breath.
"What's wrong?"
"Ebony Cliff is here!" Leng Jun said: "The figure carved on this piece of jade is called the Green Harrier. It is the totem of the pre-Qin Dynasty and the sacred bird of the Qin people. It is famous for its protection and ferocity. It is an accessory only for the nobles of the Qin State.
."
"Is this person a noble of Qin?"
Leng Jun shook his head: "It used to be like this, until Qin Mu Gong's period, after Shang Yang's reform, this privilege was abolished, and it was used by Eumuya and became their emblem. This person actually used jade to carve the emblem, which shows that this person's identity is very important.
Gao, are those people coming back from the Far North?"
"Not that fast!" Su Ren shook his head: "The skills of this group of people are far inferior to that of that group. If they were those people, we would be in trouble today."
"Then they are..."
"I'm afraid they are helpers invited by some people!"
"Who? Who has such great ability to invite Wu Mu Ya?"
Su Ren sighed: "The King of Huainan has become crazy. Not only does he collude with bandits, foreigners, and even the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, he is also within the scope of his wooing. This person will not only make the world uneasy, but he will do anything for his own selfish interests."
It doesn’t work, we have to go back to Chengdu, we don’t even know what Chengdu has become now!”
"But Zhang Hu..." Leng Jun didn't finish his words.
Su Ren's eyes instantly became sharp: "If you are in power, kill!"
Huang Shisan sneered a few times: "You ungrateful villain should be killed! Brothers, pack up, let's fight back to Chengdu!" (To be continued)
