Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 192 Jiao Zhongqing

Listening to Jiao Qing's sincere tone, Bai Tu was also a little speechless. Thinking about it, it was right - if he treated all the officials like this, he probably wouldn't be able to continue his work, and Zhou Yu would have sand in his eyes. ?

The key is that Baitu doesn't necessarily need them. Lujiang is not Baitu's basic base. If you rub it from top to bottom, it won't hurt Baitu's muscles and bones. Who dares to be so stubborn?
"Ahem, why do you have a grudge?" Bai Tu asked casually.

"Don't dare to offend the Lord's ears about some trivial matters." Jiao Qing said quickly.

Bai Tu didn't think that Jiao Qing dared to file a complaint, but he felt that Jiao Qing had a good heart. Otherwise, if he sued the bookkeeper at this time, it would be a shame. Regardless of whether it was justified or not, with his previous achievements, Bai Tu would definitely be safe. It's all him.

"Then let's talk about something big. Tell us about yourself... The Jiao family you were born in is a local noble family in Lujiang? What do you think of Lujiang's current situation in all aspects? Don't think too much, it's out of your mouth and in my ears. , Just say whatever you want." Bai Tu said warmly.

Lujiang has just been taken over by the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion. Before, there was no recruitment hall or talent selection test in Lujiang. Most of these minor officials were from local noble families - Shu Zuo, a minor official as big as a sesame seed, but Bai Tu is no longer a minor official now. Bai, understood that although the rank of the secretary of the prefect's mansion was not high, it was considered a very developed position, and he could at least show his face in front of the prefect.

Jiao Qing seems to be about the same age as Bai Tu, and he can work as a secretary in the prefect's mansion. It can be seen that although he is not from a wealthy family, let alone a direct descendant of a noble family, he should be relatively prosperous among the noble families.

"My lord has a keen eye. I am from the Jiao family in Shu County, Lujiang. My cousin is Zhongqing... The magistrate of Mengshu took a fancy to him. He promoted filial piety and honesty in the early years of Jian'an. Last year..." Although Jiao Qing is an honest man, he also knows that at this time You should behave and introduce yourself in detail.

Bai Tu was a little distracted and didn't listen to most of the rest...

The name is Zhongqing?
Jiao Zhongqing...why does this name sound so familiar?

Bai Tu's previous guess was correct. Although the Jiao family was not a prominent family, they had produced prefects three generations back. Of course... it was not Jiao Zhongqing's branch, but the direct line. However, because of this, the Jiao family also had a reputation in Lujiang. In some ways, Jiao Qing, as a "smart kid" who is relatively well-educated in his generation, also has opportunities for development, and his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary farmers.

As for the next question - what do you think of Lujiang?
Jiao Zhongqing said: I watched quietly behind Shu Zuo's Little Case...

Can this be answered casually?Is it really because I happened to do a big favor to my lord that I gave advice on the affairs of a county?I, Jiao Er, am not that arrogant!

Jiao Zhongqing evaded the important points and talked about them. Anyway, the main focus is that Governor Lu is good, Yuan Shu is a bastard, Liu Xun is just mediocre, and of course the wisest one is the lord... These words are definitely correct.

Although he was the secretary who took office when Liu Xun was in office, a mere secretary would not be involved in anything. Even if he was a "prefect for one time and an official for another time", even the secretary would not be implicated.

After Jiao Zhongqing finished speaking, he looked at Bai Tu nervously. Seeing that Bai Tu didn't speak for a long time, he thought that he had nothing to say and made the lord dissatisfied. However, at this time, Bai Tu asked: "Is Zhongqing married? "

Jiao Zhongqing:? ? ?

A magical turn of events almost hit Jiao Zhongqing's waist, but he still said with some embarrassment: "I got married two years ago. My wife, Mrs. Liu, is from the same clan as Prefect Liu..."

His wife's surname is also Liu, so she is the daughter of a descendant of the collateral line brought to Lujiang by Liu Xun from the Liu family in the East China Sea - just like the relationship between the descendants of the Gan family in Shu County who are now seeking refuge with Gan Ning.

However, his father-in-law was the one who worked for Liu Xun before, so it would not have any influence. The relationship was even more complicated. He was not even a relative, he was just from the same clan. Liu Xun probably forgot about Jiao Zhongqing, so there was nothing to avoid.

Bai Tu originally wanted to ask whether the couple's life was harmonious...

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was not serious, so I didn’t say anything yet.

"Gao Biao, Gao Bingchen... Well, this Chief Gao was also promoted by Liu Xun, right?" Bai Tu asked.

Jiao Zhongqing also mentioned this "Master Gao" before. His surname was Gao Mingbiao, and his surname was Bingchen. The Gao family was also from a small gentry clan in Lujiang, but Gao Biao was a direct descendant of the clan, and because he was actually related by marriage to Liu Xun , although he is less than two years older than Jiao Zhongqing, he is already the chief clerk.

"Yes, Master Gao already assisted Prefect Liu when he was in Wan County," Jiao Zhongqing said.

Unlike Jiao Zhongqing, the little secretary, the chief clerk of the prefecture is also the "secretary" of the prefect. He has a strong imprint of Liu Xun on him. I don't know who gave him the courage to dare to do something at this critical moment. I'm really not afraid that Zhou Yu will deal with him casually...

Maybe he knew that he would be punished sooner or later, and that he was already broken?

The group of people walked until midnight when they met the team coming out of Shu City, led by Zhou Yu himself - after all, Bai Tu was attacked in Lu'an County, Lujiang County, and Zhou Yu, who is now in charge of all affairs in Lujiang, naturally has no shirk, this matter... If it were an outsider, he would probably be scared to death.

"Hahaha, it's my third brother here!" Bai Tu laughed out loud from a distance, lest Xiaosan would think he was shocked.

"Lord..." Zhou Yu just started, but was interrupted by Bai Tu: "We are not in the middle hall, there are no outsiders, call me big brother!"

Zhou Yu glanced at Bai Tu resentfully, as if to say, "I would rather call you Lord," but still faintly shouted: "Brother, I'm late..."

"That's right, that's right. You're too late! I heard that these four thieves are causing great trouble in Lujiang. I don't need you to take action. For my brother's sake, defeat them first... Hahaha."

Those who didn't know better thought that Bai Tu really took the initiative to suppress the bandits.

But this is true. If Chen Lan and the others only want to hide and destroy them, they will really have to put some effort into it.

"Brother is mighty." Zhou Yu rolled his eyes.

Joining forces with Zhou Yu, it was already early in the morning when we returned to Shucheng, the headquarters of Lujiang, and it was a really torturous day.

Not only Bai Tu, but officials of all sizes in Lujiang were also raising their voices at this time - there was news that Bai Tu was dissatisfied with the officials in Lujiang, so he made the trip, but... he was actually robbed and killed on the way?

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it could be said that it was normal for hostile forces to send assassins and spies to each other. There were no rules against sending assassins. Not to mention that Bai Tu's second brother Sun Ce died in an assassination in history, even when the Three Kingdoms pattern was formed. Later, Fei Yi, the prime minister of Shu Han, died of assassination.

But the key now is not to kill yet!
Moreover, it is rumored that the mastermind is the Yuan family in Runan. Now there are many officials in Lujiang who were promoted by Yuan Shu when he was in Huainan. Just in case...

I heard that several thieves were captured alive. Isn't it too easy for Bai Tu to want them to say something they shouldn't?
Lujiang Mansion suddenly became trembling!

After Bai Tu settled in the prefect's mansion, the first thing he did was to go to the backyard to find Shu Ji, and then insert the official seal to search for information.

Sure enough, Bai Tu remembered it correctly.

The preface to the Han Dynasty Yuefu poem "Peacock Flies Southeast" reads: In Jian'an at the end of the Han Dynasty, the wife of Jiao Zhongqing, a minor official in Lujiang Prefecture, was sent by Zhongqing's mother, and she vowed not to marry.Forced by his family, he drowned himself.When Zhongqing heard about it, he also hanged himself in the courtyard tree.When people hurt it, it became a poem...

At this time, Jiao Zhongqing didn't know that he was being attacked by Bai Tu inexplicably. After the news spread that he and Bai Tu had returned to Shucheng, the captain and county magistrate of the prefecture wanted to summon him overnight. His original name was The little-known little scholar has become a favorite!
