Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 168 Which Chen Zhi?

There was concern and intimacy in Liu Yang's words, and he wanted to have a good relationship with Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi's performance today and his current reputation are worthy of Liu Yang's serious treatment, so these words are not pretentious, but he really wants to Chen Zhi was asked to find a place to rest, but as soon as he said this, the quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy, and everyone showed a strange attitude towards Liu Yang's decision.

"Don't worry, no one can take away your credit this time. You saved Mr. Zhuge and destroyed the thief's crazy move this time. Even if it's not your first achievement, it's still close to it. Practice peace of mind and wait until you need it..."

Liu Yang was still comforting him, but Zhou Tian on the side had no choice but to come over and remind him: "County Lieutenant, we cannot let Master Chen leave now. He...he is the key today."

"You came just in time, tell me the situation first."

Liu Yang didn't notice the subtle change in the atmosphere. When he was comforting Chen Zhi, he was thinking of Wang Mi. When his words were interrupted, he couldn't wait to walk towards the courtyard wall and saw the fallen figure.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Wang Mi lying on the ground without a sound, Liu Yang first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt happy.

Now he not only rescued Zhuge Yan, but also killed Wang Mi. This is a real achievement. Even if someone holds Pengcheng responsible for the defense afterwards, he still has bargaining chips with the superiors. Liu Yang, who was on the scene to command, will definitely It’s hard work and great achievements that no one can take away.

Thinking of the benefits, Liu Yang immediately realized that the most urgent task at the moment was to determine the credit for this matter and confirm that the big thief died at the hands of Pengcheng Bingyong. In this way, as a county lieutenant, he would have the merit of command. Even if the court pursues him afterwards, he will be in an invincible position.

After thinking about it, he called Zhou Tian over again and asked what happened: "Which warrior killed this Wang Mi? Bring him here so that I can see him, so that I can know my Pengcheng soldier's bravery."

When Liu Yang thought about it, it was okay for Tao Ya and others to talk, but it was absolutely impossible for them to kill Wang Mi. The one who did it must be one of his own.

As a result, when Zhou Tian arrived, he said with an embarrassed face: "Wang Mi, the thief, was not killed by our people." As he said this, his tone was weak. After all, he brought so many people here, but he couldn't take the credit. His face It’s really hard to stop talking about it, and it’s hard to explain the detailed reasons. It really doesn’t make sense that these people can’t compare to others’ scolding.

In fact, until this moment, Zhou Tian still couldn't believe that Wang Mi would commit suicide in shame because of Chen Zhi's words. It was a fantasy, but it happened in front of him. He didn't know how to explain it clearly to Shangguan.

"They weren't killed by our people, were they?" Liu Yang misunderstood. He glanced at Tao Ya and others and muttered in his heart.

Is it possible that any of these people are just unlucky?It doesn't look like this. This group of people were held in a sword and threatened so much that they dared not act rashly. How could they have the guts to kill people?
After thinking about it, he rejected this possibility and asked again: "Is it the archer who killed him? No, although the captain had arranged manpower, the archer was located outside the city. Things happened too fast here, and there was no time to set up defenses... …”

Zhou Tian didn't dare to hide it anymore, and quickly said: "This thief was ashamed because he was reprimanded, and then... then he raised his sword and committed suicide." Afterwards, the Youyou felt a little uncomfortable as he spoke. I feel vain myself, let alone the people listening?

Sure enough, Liu Yang was stunned when he heard this. He was stunned for a while and then asked: "Suicide? You said Wang Mi committed suicide? Shame of being scolded? Who can have such ability? This is impossible ! What kind of person is Wang Mi? He can’t think about it even after being said a few words? Is it them? "

His eyes involuntarily drifted towards Tao Ya and others. He naturally knew that these children of aristocratic families were paying attention to what they were saying. They were just trying to gain fame and reduce losses. It was just what you said, Wang Misha. Wang Mi's, the result can really kill people?
However, when Liu Yang looked at it, he noticed that these people also looked surprised and confused.

Not them?Who is that?

Suddenly, he thought of what Zhou Tian said when he asked Chen Zhi to rest.

Could it be Chen Zhi?
Liu Yang felt a thump in his heart and felt a little embarrassed.

If Wang Mi's death is really related to Chen Zhi, what will the people in the courtyard think of me when I say what I just said?He vaguely recalled the strange expressions on everyone's face before.

Here Liu Yang was just thinking, when another noise came from the back door of Wobing Tower, and then a large group of people filed out, headed by County Governor Xu Hui, Captain Zhao Shu, County Magistrate Yang Yong, etc. People followed closely behind, and each of their faces had residual signs of shock, and at the same time there was unconcealable joy.

"Looking, I heard that Wang Mi has been executed? Thank you for your hard work!"

The words came to Xu Huiren before he came.

Passing by Chen Zhi, Xu Hui simply nodded, not even bothering to say a few words of comfort. Chen Yuan, who was beside Chen Zhi, hesitated to speak, but was unable to say it in the end because his two brothers had already surrounded him. .

Xu Hui was waiting for news in the building. He was as uneasy as a candidate waiting for his results. He couldn't sit still at all. He was so frightened that when he heard that Zhuge Yan had been rescued and the thief Wang Mi had been crowned, he didn't bother to listen to the report. , hurried over. He only had a rough idea of ​​Chen Zhi's role in this incident, otherwise he would never behave like this.

On the other hand, people from the Liu family, Chen family and other aristocratic families also arrived with the county guard. When they saw Chen Zhi, Chen Chi and Chen Bian gathered around him with worried faces, asking for help and being frightened.

Chen Yuan whispered: "Zhi'er, you have made great achievements this time, but it is better to wait and see how it will turn out first. You need to let several Shangguan have a reputation as a commanding officer. You cannot highlight yourself, otherwise the glory will last but will remain. future trouble."

Chen Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Eighth Uncle, I know the serious relationship, and I have no choice but to do it. I can't get ahead now, I have to let the county guards take the lead. Otherwise, just scolding Wang Mi for some words will be enough." It may cause trouble in the future.”

Chen Chi and Chen Bian looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why. Following Chen Yuan's guidance, the family came to a corner of the yard and kept a low profile.

Over there, Xu Hui is encouraging Liu Yang and others.Liu Yang hurriedly said: "This matter can be solved only if the county guard has good command and makes timely decisions."

"Don't use it in vain. You also know how important this matter is. Being able to get through this difficulty depends on everyone's concerted efforts!" Xu Hui did not take the credit and praised him profusely. Then he pointed at Wang Mi and said anxiously He asked impatiently, "Is this person Wang Mi? Which warrior killed him? He must be heavily rewarded!"

Liu Yang looked slightly embarrassed, but he still said: "This person is the big thief Wang Mi, but according to the person who led the team, this Wang Mi... This Wang Mi committed suicide and was not killed by others." He There are still doubts about this statement, but since Zhou Tian said so, he is definitely not just talking nonsense. No one dares to lie on this matter.

"Suicide? Why did you commit suicide?" Xu Hui and everyone following him looked confused after hearing this, and then they all became suspicious.

Liu Yang gave a brief introduction and then pushed Zhou Tian to the front. The latter had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "It was the seventh young master of the Chen family who scolded Wang Mi to death. Wang Mi was originally invincible. Young Master Chen was so angry that he was trying to confuse the public with his monstrous words, so he came over to argue with him. Unexpectedly, when Wang Mi saw that he couldn't argue with Young Master Chen, he was so angry that he raised his sword and committed suicide!"

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused," Xu Hui reached out and rubbed his temples, frowning, and after a while, he said again: "Zhao Shu, Liu Yang, come and explain this situation to me." I guess I heard it wrong."

"Ah? Good!" Zhao Shu was also confused, especially when he heard Zhou Tian say that Chen Zhi's reprimand made Wang Mi commit suicide in shame. But the county guard called, but he dared not refuse.

As soon as he came over, Zhao Shu took advantage of his official authority and asked Zhou Tian in a solemn tone: "Do you know what you are talking about? This Wang Mi has committed a heinous crime. The court will also ask questions afterwards, and you will not be allowed to talk nonsense!"

Zhou Tian quickly expressed his position: "Everything my subordinates said is true! All the gentlemen in the court and the brothers who followed can all testify!"

Zhao Shu nodded, but still didn't believe it. He turned to look at Tao Ya and others, showing a respectful look.

Tao Ya and others' hearts were in turmoil, immersed in the aftertaste of shock and disbelief. They were unwilling to face this reality, but they had to pinch their noses and nod to confirm Zhou Tian's words.

They nodded, and Zhao Shu finally became surprised, including Xu Hui, who was speechless for a while.

Can this be true?

Thinking this, everyone looked towards Chen Zhi. At the end of their sight, Chen Zhi was surrounded by Chen Chi and Chen Bian. The two old Chens looked shocked, obviously they heard something.

"Tell me about the process and let me clarify the situation!" Xu Hui wanted to ask Chen Zhi, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go through it. He came over eagerly at this time. He didn't understand the situation well enough. An unexpected situation occurred and he wanted to grasp it first. It’s best to take the initiative in terms of context, otherwise it would be embarrassing if someone passes by but doesn’t know anything. As a leader, you can’t even focus on the key points when expressing condolences.

Zhao Shu had been with the county guard before and didn't know much about the situation, so he signaled Liu Yang with his eyes.

Liu Yang didn't refuse. He didn't know the circumstances of Wang Mi's death, but he knew the whole process, so he roughly told what happened.

First of all, Chen Zhi took action, defeated the thieves one after another, and then rescued Zhuge Yan.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm getting dizzy. You said it was Chen Zhi who defeated the thief. By this thief, do you mean those thieves with knives?" Xu Hui still rubbed his hands. He shook his head and asked uncertainly.

Liu Yang nodded.

Xu Hui calmed down and continued to ask: "Then Chen Zhi who defeated him, which Chen Zhi was it?"

Liu Yang still nodded, smiling bitterly in his heart. He knew the governor's confusion very well. Chen Zhi was famous for his calligraphy and articles, but now he said that he had defeated two thieves with extraordinary martial arts skills. Anyone who heard it would be confused.

Xu Hui was even more confused and couldn't help but ask his aide Zhang Ji: "Ren Sheng, didn't you say that those thieves are very skilled in martial arts? Why, they can still be captured by Chen Jiaxian's nephew?"

"This..." Zhang Ji also looked confused and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, "None of the guards of the Zhuge family are any match for the thieves. We have estimated the thieves' strength and say they are elite soldiers. These people have a basis for their advance and retreat. , cooperate with each other tacitly, and every martial art is not simple, the reason why Chen Shouyi can win it, then... it is not that the thief is too weak, it can only be that Chen Zhi is more powerful, only in this way does it make sense. "

Later, he was not confident in his conclusion, and he and County Sheriff Xu Hui stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

The scene fell into silence again.

After a while, Xu Hui took a deep breath and asked Liu Yang: "Is the Chen Zhi you are talking about the Chen Zhi who wrote the article? The one who wrote "The Master's Statement"?"

"It's this person." Liu Yang couldn't laugh or cry, but he also expressed understanding.
