Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 172 Treating You to Shut the Door (Part [-])
In the evening two days later, Yongqiu County Government Office.

"Deng You, the third elder of Zhulin Township, pays his respects to the county magistrate!"

"Please, please, please, please, please."

"Xu Lu, the third elder of Hugang Township, paid a visit to the county magistrate, and the young man specially brought some special products for the county magistrate, please accept it with a smile."

"Hahaha, old gentleman, please come in quickly."

"The three elders in Pingcheng and rural areas..."

"..."

The officers and soldiers of the Tuan army went to various townships to invite people in multiple ways, and it went very smoothly. The three elders of each township arrived as promised. Not only that, they also prepared some more practical agricultural and sideline products as congratulatory gifts, at least on the surface, it seemed quite harmonious.

Wu Liang led Dian Wei to stand at the door with a smile on his face. Everyone who came greeted them warmly, which gave the three elders a feeling of spring breeze.

So much so that the three elders who have already entered the living room have a good sense of him, and they have already discussed in private:

"Although the new county magistrate is not very old, he is very considerate in his work. He even remembers to thank us old people."

"The background shouldn't be small, otherwise the Zhu family wouldn't send someone to allow us to come to the meeting so quickly."

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense about this, in case someone listens to it..."

"Thank you for reminding me, I made a mistake."

"However, there are three fires for the new official. I don't know where the three fires of the new county magistrate are going to burn?"

"No matter where it is burned, it will definitely not burn the Zhu family. As for us... these years, we have always followed the lead of the Zhu family, and we have also assisted in the supervision of many of the Zhu family's rural properties. If the new county magistrate wants to burn We, the Zhu family, will definitely not sit idly by."

"The county magistrate of the Zhu family who is hard-working, how many county magistrates have been changed in Yongqiu these years, is the Zhu family still as good as it is? Let's, as long as we set the backbone, we will try our best not to offend both sides under this premise. Anyway, if the sky falls, it won’t crush us first.”

"What you said is very..."

"..."

This is the standpoint of the three elders, a typical fence-sitter, supporting whoever is strong, but they also know how to protect themselves, and they will not be the early bird who will only be shot, let alone offend anyone casually.

But this is not important.

Wu Liang didn't have the idea of ​​getting their support from the beginning, and it was enough to get the information he needed from them tonight.

Moreover, Wu Liang had already thought up his rhetoric in advance, which would definitely convince them to cooperate...

The result was beyond Wu Liang's expectation.

Just when the three elders had arrived and Wu Liang was about to start the banquet, a group of uninvited guests who were no longer on the invitation list came outside the government office.

Walking in the front was a large sedan chair carried by eight servants.

At this time, "sanjiao" was not called "sanjiao", but "Jianyu".

Although this thing looks very ostentatious, it is actually a very "low" practice in the Han Dynasty, because horse-drawn carriages were popular in the Han Dynasty.

Trends are something that Wu Liang has never been able to understand. Anyway, compared with carriages in this era, sedan chairs are as outdated as BP machines in front of smartphones... Moreover, horses are indeed more valuable than people at this time.

But it can still be seen that the people in the sedan chair actually want to show off in front of Wu Liang.

It's a pity that some of them used too much force, but it was self-defeating.

At the back of the sedan chair, there were a few well-dressed and neatly dressed people and more than a dozen accompanying servants. These people were not ordinary villagers at first glance.

"Captain, they..."

Seeing this formation, Dian Wei looked at Wu Liang with some doubts.

"No matter who it is, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, our guests for today's banquet have arrived, so let's close the door."

Wu Liang probably already guessed the identity of the person who came, but he just smiled lightly, turned around and walked towards the government office, and said to Dian Wei and the soldiers standing guard at the door.

"Yes!"

Dian Wei and others immediately followed into the government office and closed the door heavily.

……

"Oh!"

The muffled sound of the door closing was transmitted into the sedan chair.

Zhu Lu was taken aback, and immediately lifted the curtain and looked out, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"

"Third Young Master, this... we have already arrived outside the gate of the mansion, but the people in the mansion saw us and immediately closed the gate of the mansion..."

The accompanying servant hurriedly replied cautiously, for fear that Zhu Lu would get angry if he said a wrong word.

"what?!"

Immediately, Zhu Lu was furious, and slapped the window frame and cursed loudly, "What kind of a new county magistrate is he? How dare he ignore me like this? Is he getting impatient!"

While talking, other county officials have also come to the sedan chair.

Ling Shi hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "Third Young Master, please calm down. We came here uninvited this time, and we didn't send anyone to inform us in advance. I'm afraid the new county magistrate doesn't know that Third Young Master is here, otherwise he would definitely not dare to treat Third Young Master like this." .”

"No!"

But Gongcao fanned the flames and said, "In my opinion, the new county magistrate is probably deliberately not giving face to the third son. How many people in a small county like Yongqiu can afford to sit like the third son?" How many of these eight patriarchs can have the pomp of the third son, and the new county magistrate is blind, so it is impossible not to see the noble status of the person in the sedan chair."

"You're right. The new county magistrate must deliberately not give me face. He's extremely arrogant and courts death!"

Zhu Lu was obviously closer to this hero, and immediately slapped the window frame and cursed after hearing his words.

But after scolding for a long time, what Zhu Lu faced was still the cold door. He could not get in, and he lost face when he retreated. Can I do it without losing face, and teach that fellow to know how powerful I am?"

"It's better to send a servant to knock on the door and report the name of the third son."

Gongcao thought for a while, and finally said, "The new county magistrate, after hearing the name of the third son, must not dare to pretend to be stupid anymore, so he has to come out to greet the third son in person. In the face of the three elders, he deliberately said some ugly words to humiliate him, so that the new county magistrate would feel ashamed, and he would never dare to act recklessly in the future, and it would also let the three elders know the attitude of the third son towards that guy, If you dare to get too close to him, it will be difficult for him to walk an inch in Yongqiu County, and he will not be afraid that he will not come to ask for the third son."

"Well...you are right, let's do it!"

Zhu Lu nodded, and immediately called a servant over, "You! Go knock on the door and tell them that the third son of the Zhu family is here, and ask the new county magistrate to go out and greet them!"

"Yes!"

The servant hurried to do so.

But when he ran back after a while, the servant had a look of embarrassment and panic, and said without daring to raise his head, "Third Young Master, the people inside refused to open the door, and said that the world is too chaotic now, and... …Third Young Master atones for his sins, the villain really dare not say the next words!"

　Thanks to the bosses of [Love Because of Water] and [Lonely Little Crab] for their support.
