retaliate

Chapter 97 Five Fingers

Chenzhou is not a good place, this is the consensus of the Tang officials.

The prefectures and counties in Datang are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, but Chenzhou is not ranked, why?Because the inferior states and counties are much stronger than Chenzhou.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places, so officials all compete for the positions of the superior states and counties, and avoid the middle and inferior.And Chenzhou need not say, in the eyes of the Tang officials, it is a fire pit.

Therefore, the officials who can come here to serve, either offend Shangguan, or make a big mistake.

Some of these people gave up on themselves, some were violent, and some seemed to be lost.

Newcomers come to beat, this is an unspoken rule.After a few beatings, the newcomer performs well, and everyone will accept this person.After that, the correspondence, or the gathering in the prefecture, was a friendship.

Du Hui's beating was undoubtedly condescending, but as a newcomer, Yang Xuan either remained silent or wiped the saliva from his face and responded with a smile.

You do not deserve!

Yang Xuan looked contemptuous when he said this, as if he was looking down at an ant.

Du Hui was instantly furious, got up and shouted, "This old man has been guarding Zhangyu County for several years, and the thieves have hit the wall one by one before this old man. Zhangyu County is peaceful because of this old man. You, you are still young, where did you have the courage to question this old man?"

"Yeah!" Lin Ziyu, a good-natured person, agreed habitually.

Someone said: "A little arrogant."

Yang Xuan looked at Du Hui and asked, "How many thieves did Zhangyu County encounter?"

Du Hui sneered, "Last month, more than [-] horse thieves attacked, and this old man personally went to the top of the city. Under the scolding, the horse thieves fled."

Yang Xuan looked at the person who was talking to Du Hui just now, "How about you?"

That was Han Li's record to join the army!
Han Li glanced at Yang Xuan coldly and remained silent.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Just ten days ago, the thief chief Deng Hu led more than [-] horse thieves to raid my Taiping County. There were only [-] sergeants in the city. The arrows of the thieves covered the city, and the casualties were heavy..."

Du Hui immediately looked at Han Li, and then turned his attention away.

"Yang led the four of his entourage to rush down the city head, fought bloody battles, and defeated the horse thieves." Yang Xuan suddenly shouted: "There are more than [-] sergeants in Zhang Yu City, you just waved a few times with a horizontal knife, and you really scared the horse thieves away. Shameless!"

Du Hui suddenly looked at Liu Qing.

The old man wanted to stop, but your mouth is too fast... Liu Qing nodded slightly.

Du Hui's face was ashen, and he couldn't find a place to fight back for a while.

The teen has a big victory.

Liu Qing coughed dryly.

"This is the magistrate of Taiping County, Yang Xuan!"

This seems to be a nonsense re-introduction, but it makes people shudder.

Yang Xuan got up and saluted.

"I have seen all the seniors, please give me more advice in the future."

Then there is some arrangement and comfort.

Yang Xuan looked for an opportunity and asked, "Your Majesty, I am fifty sergeants in Taiping County. I lost more than ten in the last battle. When will I replenish the lower officials?"

Han Li, who recorded the military entry, said indifferently: "There is no excess in the state."

"Is that to let the lower official stick to the peace?" Yang Xuan's attitude today can be called tit for tat.

Han Li said with a cold face, "There are so many villains in Taiping, you can practice on your own."

"Where's the money?" Yang Xuan asked dissatisfied.

Han Li said calmly, "Prepare yourself."

Yang Xuan's face was ashen, and Liu Qing scolded when he saw this: "All calm down."

Yang Xuan sat down indignantly, and in his ear, Suzaku said: "If you get a cheap price and sell it well, you are talking about your little fox."

Liu Qing slapped the table a few times, and the roar echoed.

"Three years of hard work, the old man thinks it is a good year. In a good year, there will be good news. Later, the old man will serve a meal, and then get out of the way. "

Immediately it was dinner.

After dinner, everyone came to say goodbye.

Liu Qing stood on the steps, Lu Qiang was on the side, both of them were wearing horizontal knives.

Wangu County magistrate Lu Jiao stepped forward and saluted, "Take care of yourselves."

Liu Qing nodded and said solemnly, "The journey is smooth sailing."

The second person stepped forward, "Take care of yourselves!"

"Bon Voyage!"

Somehow, Yang Xuan felt his eyes warm.

"Take care of you."

"Bon Voyage."

When it was Yang Xuan's turn, he stepped forward and saluted, "Take care of yourselves."

Liu Qing looked at him and smiled suddenly, "Young people haven't experienced those hardships, it's common sense to be angry. Taiping is difficult, the old man is watching you in Lin'an, and you can do it well."

Yang Xuan nodded and Liu Qing nodded, "It's a smooth journey."

After leaving the county house, I saw two groups of people confronting each other, with Wang Lao Er and the old thief on one side.

"Out."

The two gangs looked into the door.

Du Hui came out first, and the other group saluted.

"What's going on?" Du Hui asked.

A big man here pointed at the old thief and said, "It's just a joke, this person actually humiliated me. To humiliate me is to humiliate Mingfu..."

"I have seen Lang Jun."

The old thief and Wang Lao Er saluted.

"What's the matter?" Yang Xuan held the handle of the knife.

The old thief said, "Those people laughed at the second child for being a fool, and even took a penny and threw it on the ground, and asked the second child to kneel and ask Ye Ye to give it to him."

Yang Xuan looked at him and asked, "Then what are you waiting for?"

The old thief was startled.

Yang Xuan asked, "Who did it?"

Du Hui came out alone, "This matter..."

"Fight!" Yang Xuan shouted.

The old thief flickered, but Wang Lao Er was faster.

He raised his hand and waved it vigorously.

Snapped!
The man who came out fell to the ground without saying a word, his body bounced a few times, and then he fell silent.

The surrounding area is eerily quiet.

Du Hui came over, as if a flame was burning in his eyes, "Young man, don't get carried away."

Yang Xuan stepped forward, "To deal with a mad dog, you should beat it with a stick!"

Just as Du Hui was about to speak, a man ran out and shouted, "Your Majesty has an order, whoever fights again will stay in the prefecture, and your Majesty will accompany him to fight!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Come back!"

The old thief and Wang Lao Er are back.

The three mounted their horses and left immediately.

In the duty room, Liu Qing, who received the report, looked calm.

"Du Hui and Yang Xuansu never met, but they got angry when they met for the first time. You said nothing in the middle... The old man would never believe it."

Lu Qiang nodded, "Du Hui made a mistake and was driven to Chenzhou, but he has always dreamed of returning to Chang'an. Chang'an! Who wouldn't?"

Liu Qing frowned suddenly, "What this old man is most worried about is Taiping. Yang Xuan and Du Hui have a falling out. If Taiping is attacked, will Du Hui support him?"

Lu Qiang's eyes were blurred, "Your Majesty, the lower official is more worried about something."

Liu Qing asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Qiang said: "In the past, the troops from all parts of the Tang Dynasty took turns to go to the frontier, and there were many warriors in the frontier. But now the DPRK has begun to reduce the deployment of the troops to the frontier because of the cost of money and food for the soldiers to travel thousands of miles. "

"It's better elsewhere, with a large population and a lot of money and food. But we are poor and poor in Chenzhou, where can we recruit warriors? Hey!"

Not long after, the familiar roar came from the state.

"You bitch, look at the good paperwork you've made!"

Outside the prefecture, a woman heard the roar and praised: "Your Majesty's spirit is very strong, it seems that this year will be safe and sound."

……

On the way back, Du Hui and others camped in the wild.

At night, ride away.

"Who?" Su Wei's sergeant asked.

The man came to restrain his horse and said in the long neigh of the war horse: "Acquaintance."

After a while, Du Hui and the visitor were talking in the tent.

"The envoy scolded Yang Xuan today, which is encouraging."

Du Hui said coldly: "This old man is only concerned about one thing. You can bring this old man back to Chang'an to become an official after the matter is completed. Is this true or false?"

The visitor chuckled, his body swayed back and forth, and the candlelight reflected on the tent, like a ghost.

He stretched out a finger on his left hand.

The right hand stretches out four fingers.

The candlelight reflected the two figures on the tent.

One person laughs.

One is reserved.

……

Yang Xuan quickly rushed to Taiping County.

Outside the city gate, the death camp is still practicing.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The long spear stabbed again and again, and the momentum was good.

"I have seen Ming Palace." Everyone saluted.

Yang Xuan nodded, "Continue to practice."

When he got to the county, he called Cao Ying.

In the lobby of the backyard, everyone gathers together.

"Lang Jun's journey is full of troubles, and slaves will cook first."

"Let's talk about this first." Yang Xuan stopped Yi Niang when she got up. "This time I went to Lin'an, and Du Hui from Zhangyu County suddenly attacked me."

He said what happened on the trip.

Cao Ying sneered, "Lang Jun and that Du Hui met for the first time, but the first time they met was not good, and even the entourage dared to provoke the old thieves and them. The old man thinks this is what Du Hui made for others to see."

Yang Xuan nodded, "Since he wants to do it, then I will naturally slap him."

Yi Niang's heart tightened, and she said, "Who is the commander? Chang'an! It must be Chang'an!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "I think so too. Mr. He is the most suspect, but Han Li is also a little indifferent to me when he joined the army. Mr. He's hand...is not that long."

Cao Ying said solemnly, "Why did the four surnames in the family attack Lang Jun?"

Everyone is thinking about all kinds of possibilities, but they can't be sure.

Yi Niang listened to the depression, and sat there with her hands on her cheeks, and suddenly said: "Lang Jun is here because of Liang Jing's relationship, noble concubine... Queen..."

Everyone looked at her slowly.

Yi Niang's eyes lit up and she took pictures of the case.

Bah!
The old thief who was dozing suddenly raised his head and said in a daze: "Yiniang spare your life, this old man did not steal the meat of the second child."

Yi Niang said angrily, "Is the slave just so vicious?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Only Wang Lao Er said seriously, "Yiniang is the best."

Everyone's eyes softened.

The old thief coughed dryly and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Yi Niang took the opportunity to sort out her thoughts, "When we came out, the imperial concubine in the palace became more and more favored. The queen is like a wooden statue, only the name remains. In this battle, the imperial concubine won. But women's hearts... …”

"Under the sea needle."

The old thief raised his eyebrows.

Yi Niang smiled, "The status of the queen cannot be shaken, otherwise not only will the queen be unlucky, but the crown prince will not be able to escape. The so-called mother is more expensive than the child, in exchange, the child is more expensive than the mother. If the status of the queen is shaken, what does she want most? "

"Fight," said the old thief.

"The emperor only favors, how does the queen fight? If the imperial concubine is damaged in the slightest, the emperor will roar and get angry. How can the empress dare to give the emperor an excuse to abolish the empress? Therefore, those who attack the imperial concubine are the means of the queen, and the executor is a family. Four surnames."

Everyone is looking at Yi Niang.

Yi Niang raised her head, "Is it wrong?"

"Okay!"

The crowd said in unison.

"Okay!" Wang Lao Er shouted in a loud voice after realizing it.

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.
