Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 23 Huan Wen's Letter
After Chang Wei died, the remaining county soldiers repeatedly begged for mercy: "You two military masters, we are only following orders, and please ignore the villains and bypass us..."

After a while, the county soldier carried Chang Wei's body away.

Guan Zhengqian hurriedly ordered his servants to take good care of Wang Dayong, whose kneecap was broken, and hurried to Fuling County to invite the best doctor.

Guan Ziyang also comforted Hei Nuer, and said: "Hei Nuer, don't worry, young master, I will not make it easy for the mastermind who hurt your father!"

The black slave nodded again and again, but she was unable to speak after crying for too long.

Guan Zhengqian and Guan Ziyang stepped forward to thank them, Zhu San and He Shixi put away their fierce expressions and tone of voice when dealing with Chang Wei, and said in a low voice, "Brother Guan, you are welcome, we are just following orders."

The other third-floor Patriarchs of the Guan family were wondering, when did Guan Zheng become friends with the people of the Xifu Army, so that the personal guards of the dignified fourth-rank generals could come forward to rescue the siege, Guan Zhengqian also wondered: "I don't know who the two army brothers are serving?" I will thank you face to face in the future."

Zhu San patted Guan Zhenggan: "We'll talk about this later."

The meaning is obvious, now that there are too many people, it is inconvenient for him to disclose, and he will discuss it in detail in private, so Guan Zhenggan avoided mentioning it in advance.

It was getting brighter, Guan Zhengqian ordered the kitchen in the east building to cook a sumptuous breakfast banquet for Zhu and He. Although the two showed their scepters, they still treated Guan Zhenggan's family the same as they just came to Guan's house yesterday. People are still polite.

After the meal, Guan Zhengqian dismissed the servants, and only Guan Ziyang and Guan's mother Zhu Ping were left in the room, and the two talked about it.

It turned out that they were ordered by Yin Yun, the general of the Five Senses, to say that someone was targeting Guan Ziyang or the Guan family, using his scepter to help them out, and secretly ordered them to kill first and then play!
Guan Ziyang didn't know the importance of beating first and playing later, but Guan Zhengqian knew that the right to behead first and then play was only given to Chijie, and even ordinary state governors who were false festivals could only behead those who were not subject to military orders during wartime!

Nowadays, the number of people who hold festivals in the world can be counted on the palm of one hand, and they are all powerful feudal lords in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!Overlord!
After Guan Zhenggan finished listening, he became even more confused, and asked: "Lord Zhu, Lord He, can you two explain in more detail, how could our Guan family have friendship with the envoy Chijie? How could he take care of Gouzi and the Guan family like this. "

Zhu San and He Shishi looked at each other and smiled: "Brother Guan, we are only following orders. We don't know if you ask us this, but I guess Mr. Ziyang Xiaolang may be able to guess a thing or two..."

Seeing that the two of them had gone back to their room, Guan Zhenggan stared at Guan Ziyang and didn't speak...

So Guan Ziyang told him everything from the moment he stepped out of the closed house...

"You said you got to know Xie Yi, governor of Yuzhou because of the clear talk?" Guan Zhengqian said in surprise.

"En!" Guan Ziyang nodded and said.

"Come on, let me experience it now, when did you learn Kung Fu! It's time to talk... Let's fight each other!"

"Ouch!" Guan Zhenggan sat down on the ground!
"You kid is serious, why are you putting so much effort! I don't know if your father doesn't practice martial arts..."

"Father...Actually...Actually, I didn't try hard..."

……

At night, Qingchan helped Guan Ziyang mend a torn shirt in the room.

"bang bang bang"

There was a knock on Guan Ziyang's door, and it was Zhu San and He Shishi.

Seeing that there were only Guan Ziyang and Qingchan in the room, Zhu San said with a smile: "My two brothers took the liberty to disturb you in the middle of the night, I don't know if it spoiled the young master's interest..."

Qing Chan immediately blushed and ran out of the house.

Guan Ziyang's face was full of black lines, and this soldier's words are really straightforward... But Qing Chan is indeed too thin-skinned...

As soon as Qing Chan left, He Shiyi turned and closed the door, and Zhu San took out a letter from Yin Yun from his bosom.

"General Yin was entrusted by General Xie to send the two of us to help you solve the trouble, but this letter was written to you by our General Yin, and we made the two of us watch you burn the letter after reading it, please close it. Little son, take a look..."

Yin Yun's letter?

Guan Ziyang opened it and went straight to the signature, and two large characters immediately came into view - Huan Wen!
The content of the letter was not also addressed to Guan Ziyang, because there was no title, but it was written to him again.

"The West Mansion accepts heroes, heroes, and wise men from all over the world, regardless of common people, only talents and virtues. After the little friend is determined, you can enter the West Mansion. Wen, look forward to it..."

Seeing Guan Ziyang reading the letter, Zhu San looked puzzled, took the letter with a smile, and put it on the oil lamp in the house.

"Young master Guan, our general is very thirsty for talents...you think about it carefully, we will leave now." Zhu San finished burning the letter and left the house.

Now Guan Ziyang is even more dizzy. Zhu San and He Shishi are Yin Yun's personal soldiers, but the letter they sent was signed by Huan Wen. Yun sent.

Xie Yi's Yuzhou has always been an important barrier to prevent Huan Wen's forces from influencing Jiankang. It is impossible for the two of them to be in the same breath. Guan Ziyang faintly suspected that Yin Yun, Zhu San, and He Shixi might There is also the possibility of 'inside rape'.

Of course, Guan Ziyang has too little contact with him now, so it is impossible to guess.

He wondered.

So far, Huanwen Wenwen and Xie Yi have shown that they want to recruit him, but he just played a game of chess and played a song at Wei's house. Why do these two forces suddenly pay so much attention to Lao Tzu...

First, Xie Yi promised to help me cultivate my inner strength and go to Jiankang Dingpin in the future.As for the meaning of Huan Wen's letter, he felt that "no matter how much others give you, my West Mansion will give you double..."

On the second day, Chang Zao, the acting county magistrate, came to the door in person.

After meeting the patriarch Guan Zhengkun, Chang Zao didn't mention anything about Chang Wei's death or the hiding of the refugees, but said that he was here to collect the autumn tax, and called out his name to meet the envoy.

Zhu San and He Shishi also gave this Chang Zao face, and they talked with him fairly well. He, the county magistrate, is only an acting county magistrate, and he is in danger of being laid off at any time, so he is extremely flattering to the two of them.

They are just the general's personal guards and have no real power, but their leader is Yin Yun, the fourth-rank general under Xifu Huanwen. If he is willing to say a word, it will be a breeze to help him, the county magistrate, turn into a regular person.

But during the period, Chang Zao was also puzzled: "The two came to the Guan family under the order of General Yin, who is under the seat of Huan Wen, the great general who conquered the west, but why are they holding the festival of General Xie, the governor of Yuzhou?"

Zhu Sanhe Shishi just kept silent and stared at Chang Zao with a silent expression.

It means: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask..."

Chang Zao hurriedly apologized: "The lower officials are stupid, the lower officials are stupid, just pretend you didn't hear..."

After seeing the two envoys, Chang Zao began to check the autumn tax of the Guan family.

The ten mu of land on the fourth floor of the Guan family each has to pay an autumn tax of [-] catties of grain. The surplus grain in the east building is still sufficient, but next year there will be no official land, and the harvest will be greatly reduced. In other words, the pressure is great.

120 catties is one stone, and the total of [-] catties on the fourth floor is more than ten stones. The people brought by Chang Zao happened to pick one stone each. Guan Ziyang saw that the food at home was being picked away stone by stone. Very unpleasant!

He still clearly remembers that the family failed to harvest a few years ago, and there were only a few scattered grains of rice in each porridge, and everyone in the family was so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs. Especially profound.

After collecting the autumn tax, Chang Zao personally went up to the east building to meet Wang Dayong's family, and took out two booklets from his pocket, one yellow book and one white book.

I found Wang Dayong's name in the Bai Ji, crossed him out in front of everyone, and recorded his name in the Huang Ji.This is to remove the name from the white registration of the undocumented refugees, and officially become the yellow registration of Fuling, that is, the aborigines.

The county magistrate is far from having the right to change a person's household registration, but he is in charge of it. Why don't the county magistrate take care of it now.Since he changed it in front of everyone, it can be regarded as an official statement.

For the sake of Wang Dayong's matter, I have already violated the regulations, and I will not mention Chang Wei's matter, and you just don't make things difficult for me anymore.

Guan Ziyang said in his heart: "Wei Xuan is the person behind the Guan family who makes things difficult for us. Since you, Chang Zao, are quite good at life, there is no need to make things difficult for you..."

Zhu San and He Shishi saw that Guan Ziyang nodded to accept, so they looked at each other, and Zhu San said: "Magistrate Chang, the two of us are leaving the Guan family today, and the Guan family in Hexi will invite you to come back later." Take care, don't let the thieves break into the Guanjiabao again, if something like last night happens again, I'm afraid this virtuous master will be very angry..."
