"I investigated Wen Dang, the prefect of Shu County, and found that the administration of the county was unfavorable, which led to unrest in Shu County. I was very worried that Wen Dang had failed to live up to his divine grace, and I ordered Ji An to arrest Wen Dang and escort him back to the capital to be handed over to the court officials for trial.
After investigating the Chengdu school captain Su Ren, although he had some minor merits, he was domineering and unruly, so he was dismissed from the post of school captain. Shi Changshi, the governor of Shu County, temporarily acts as the governor of Shu County. I appreciate this!"
"Chen Wen Dang, Su Ren, standing in charge, take the order to thank you!"
He kowtowed his head. Ji An then gently placed the imperial edict on the altar table and sighed: "Get up! Prefect Wen, this must be done. Please pack up and follow me back to Chang'an?"
With the help of Su Ren and Chang Shi, Wen Dang struggled to get up from the ground. He was getting older and had worked hard for Shu County and the Han Dynasty for so many years. He was about to retire and return to his hometown. He didn't expect that he would not be saved in the evening. What kind of person is Ting Wei?
Place? There are many people going in and few coming out. Even if a good guy can survive half his life just by going in and out, let alone the literary party.
"Thank you, angel! Please also ask the angel to move over. I have prepared the yard. Please let the angel rest!"
"No need, it's good to live here. I'm here to convey the decree. The decree has been stated. Give Prefect Wen three days, and we will set off back to Chang'an after three days."
Changshi said quickly: "Angels must not be careless. Chengdu has been in chaos recently. Angels live here. I am worried. How can I explain to His Majesty if something goes wrong?"
"Haha! Hasn't Captain Su already cleared him up?" Ji An looked at Su Ren beside Wen Dang and nodded: "Su Lieutenant is young and promising, but he is too ruthless in his actions. Seventy or eighty people don't care.
No questions were asked during the interrogation, and he was chopped off without blinking an eye. This method is definitely not something ordinary people can do, and I admire him very much."
"Sir, you are too modest, and the villain has no choice. Shu County is a border county of the Han Dynasty. It cannot be disturbed. Only by using this method can we calm down the chaos as soon as possible, appease the people, and frighten the villain. The method is clumsy, and it is not as good as sir. Just in case, let sir
What a joke!"
Su Ren was neither humble nor arrogant, and kept staring at Ji An: "Sir's imperial edict has been read out. From now on, I am no longer a school captain. If you have no other instructions, sir, please allow me to help the teacher back?"
Ji An nodded. After Su Ren saluted, he supported the decadent Wen Dang and walked out of the door step by step. The Shu County officials who followed him quickly got out of the way and hid as far away as they could. One was old and the other was young. The old man was rickety.
He stooped and staggered; the young man bent down and supported him, walking out step by step, which was sad to see.
Sima Xiangru took two steps and grabbed Wen Dang's other arm. Su Ren smiled slightly, and the three of them helped him out of the door. There were county soldiers and officials brought outside the door, and the situation inside had already been spread.
The princes, like the Shu county officials, all stood far away, and there were only a few dozen county soldiers left in front of the gate of Zhuo Mansion.
"Bring the carriage over here!" Hawking waved to the Wen family's carriage, but the driver did not move.
Huo Jin was furious: "The turtle son also looks down on others. The prefect has just been dismissed from office, so he won't let him use the car?"
Sima Xiangru grabbed the angry Huo Jin and said: "According to court etiquette, that carriage is for the prefect. The driver is not unwilling to come, but he dare not! If someone reports him, he, a young driver, cannot withstand it."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Go and get my carriage!" Huo Jin and Laifu drove Su Ren's carriage over, and several people helped Wen Dang up. There were no guards to guard him, and there was no pomp and circumstance. A simple carriage was left alone.
walking on the road.
Chengdu is as prosperous as ever, with people coming and going as always. The emblem representing the captain has been removed from the carriage, and it looks no different from the carriages of other wealthy merchants. Some people know this carriage and the coachman, and some do not.
. No one came over to say hello to the people in the car. They would just stay away from each other after seeing them.
Huo Jin wanted to take the county soldiers to escort Wen Dang and Su Ren, but Su Ren stopped him. From now on, he is no longer the captain of Shu County, and it is inappropriate to use the county soldiers again. Huo Jin was so angry that he took off his armor in twos and twos.
Throwing it on the ground: "I quit, is this okay?"
Su Ren smiled helplessly and did not object any longer. When the other county soldiers saw it, they took off their armor without saying a word, threw it at the door of Zhuo Wangsun's house, and followed the carriage back wearing only short clothes.
Wen Dang woke up slowly, and Laifu quickly gave Wen Dang some water. Wen Dang took a deep breath, looked at Su Ren beside him, with tears in his eyes: "Zi Heng, I am the one who has caused you trouble!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "I am the teacher's student. I am the same wherever I go, so there is no need to talk about getting involved."
The two of them clasped their hands together and looked at each other with a silent smile. Wen Dang still had three days in Shuzhong and could still live in the prefect's mansion, but Wen Dang didn't want to go, so Su Ren invited Wen Dang to go to his house.
The old prefect came and was the teacher of the head of the family. Everyone in the Su family was busy preparing. An upper room was quickly prepared. Laifu helped Wen Dang to rest, and Su Ren returned to the lobby.
Cui Jiuming, Sima Xiangru, Li Cheng, Gou Tianming and others had also received the news and hurried back to Su's house. Seeing Su Ren come in, the most anxious Cui Jiuming grabbed Su Ren's arm: "What? Really?
Are you done with your position?"
Su Ren nodded. Cui Jiuming's face dropped: "What do you mean by this? Isn't the court doing this nonsense? You have made great contributions and you will be dismissed if you ask for dismissal? No, I will write a letter to my father right away. I have to reinstate you no matter what."
official!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Without an official position, I feel light. It's good. We can do our business well!"
"Sir, what should we do?" Gou Tianming seized the opportunity and asked quickly.
Li Cheng also had an earnest look on his face. Although he was not a close confidant of Su Ren, in just a few months, Li Cheng's fate had been linked to that of Su Ren. Without Su Ren's support, he would have been the only county soldier in Chengdu.
He couldn't be transferred, let alone Su Ren's cronies like Gou Tianming and Huo Jin. According to Li Cheng's idea, although he is still a Sima now, as long as he stays with Su Ren for a few more years, Tang Meng can regain Yelang or Qiang land.
After that, the captain of Shu County would be none other than Su Ren. At that time, he could successfully take over as the captain of Chengdu.
However, things suddenly changed, which caught Li Cheng off guard: "Yes, the captain is gone, what should we do?"
"What should I do? Even though I have been dismissed from office, I am still in Chengdu. The county soldiers still have to rely on Li Sima!"
"My subordinates don't have that ability, I'm just a Sima!"
Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry, your appointment as Chengdu captain will be announced soon!"
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at the people next to him. He felt that the expressions on Huo Jin and Gou Tianming's faces were not right, so he hurriedly lowered his head. Su Ren sat down on the chair, waved his hand for everyone to sit down: "A little
I don't look down on the little Chengdu captain. I could have been a county magistrate back then, so why bother coming to Chengdu? Let me tell you, the county soldiers must not be disbanded. What was done before is what we need now?"
"Brother! If you don't become a school captain anymore, why are you still in charge of the county soldiers? These people are ours, and we will follow you wherever you go!"
"Nonsense, can I ask for 1,500 guards?" Su Ren glared at Hawking.
Sima Xiangru sighed: "The imperial court is so cruel! Not only does it want to punish the prefect, but it also wants to uproot the prefect's power from Chengdu. But they thought wrong. As long as our 1,500 county soldiers are still in Chengdu, this will
Shu County is still ours, no matter where sir goes, Shu County will always be our protection."
"Have you heard it?" Su Ren glanced at everyone: "Brother Sima is right. Li Sima, from tomorrow onwards you will regard yourself as the captain of the capital, and you must secure this position. If there is a chance, you can return
If you want to be the captain of Shu County, it’s up to you whether you can guard Shu County for me, Lao Gou and Xiao Jinzi can only leave one for you!"
"This!" Li Cheng didn't expect that Su Ren would be the first to assign a task to him. He looked at Gou Tianming and then at Huo Jin. Gou Tianming was okay, but Huo Jin's eyes were very bad.
Gou Tianming cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I'll stay!"
Su Ren nodded: "Okay, knowing that it's hard to leave your homeland, let's guard our last retreat with Li Sima."
Li Cheng quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Captain, I, Li Cheng, will never leave Chengdu for even a step! I will definitely take care of Shu County for the Captain!"
Su Ren nodded and arranged the most important things. Su Ren turned his face and looked at Sima Xiangru: "Brother Sima, what are your plans?"
"Hahaha!" Sima Xiangru chuckled: "I'm still waiting to be the general's governor and be granted the title of marquis, so how can I do nothing in Chengdu?"
This sentence made everyone in the lobby feel relaxed. Su Ren is only eighteen years old this year. He has plenty of time and can take his time. Everyone thinks that with Su Ren's ability, this Chengdu captain is just a transitional person.
It has little to do with not doing it. When he was in Wenshui, Su Ren was the county magistrate. After resigning, he became the city magistrate in Chengdu. Maybe there would be a bigger official waiting for him in other places.
A group of people were discussing things in the lobby. Liu Gao came in from the side door and whispered a few words in Su Ren's ear. Su Ren nodded: "Guide, please, the teacher asked me to go there. You guys can discuss it first with us in Shuzhong."
How should the Chamber of Commerce respond to this crisis?"
Wen Dang was lying on the bed. He was not used to the bed at Su Ren's house. He always felt that it was too soft under him and he was not as comfortable as lying on the couch. He might fall at any time. There was only Laifu in the room, and he was feeding Wen Dang.
Fan. This blow was very heavy to Party Wen. As a veteran of three dynasties, it was hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable after such a result.
Holding Su Ren's hand, Wen Dang's first sentence was to ask the county soldiers how to deal with it. Su Ren smiled and told Wen Dang his decision. Wen Dang then breathed a sigh of relief and patted Su Ren gently.
Back of hand: "Zi Heng is a great righteous man. I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Chengdu!"
Su Ren smiled: "Teacher's words are serious, don't worry, teacher, I will definitely find a way to rescue the teacher."
Wen Dang shook his head: "It's difficult! Once you enter the court, you can't help yourself. Who else has this ability except Your Majesty?"
"It all depends on people. Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely have a solution!"
Wen Dang nodded solemnly: "I, Wen Dang, will have a son who will be my disciple for the rest of my life. I will have no regrets in this life!" (To be continued)
