Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 165 If You Can Rid the Wind
Zhong Ping bowed his head in shame: "Ping also first observed this matter. When he designed Hao Meng, although he had heard the name of the Xin family, he only regarded it as an ordinary villager and didn't pay much attention to it."

He recalled what he saw and heard in the village that day, and felt that the world was turned upside down, but it was nothing more than that.

Most of the villagers in the village follow their call...

Are the people deceived by it?Or did he misunderstand the other party, but this Xin clan member has never participated in the matter of forcing Liang to be a servant?

After all, among everyone, the branches are cross-knotted, and the discord among them is hard to be known.

Or it might be true that there is a split between seats and seats.

If the latter...

"Ping still remembers that the village is on the north side of Tu County, about four miles away. Maybe we can start visiting from here."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and put his eyes on Wu Zhi. Although he didn't say anything, Zhong Ping had already understood the questioning meaning in his expression.

Chong Ping originally wanted Wu Zhi to stay by his side as a guard, but after thinking about it, he didn't say that Wu Zhi's appearance was not like a warrior, but that the other party's vaguely "charming" posture was enough to attract people. reverie.

"Hey, Wu Zhi is also proficient in writing and ink, and he happens to be short of a knife and pen official..."

This kind of peace has some selfishness.

Whether thinking about the future or just thinking about the present, he should always have some personal guards by his side.

When I return to Xudu, it will be even more difficult to find such a person who can be completely driven by myself.

"It's really my fault."

Cao Cao jokingly apologized to Tong Zhongping, stroked his eyebrows and thought about it, and said after a while, "Boheng can choose two more people in my office to be his assistants, to assist with official affairs..."

"As for the matter of Tu County, it is not appropriate for me to come forward in person. Bo Heng can go with Liu Bei. One will not attract attention, and the two can also rely on something."

When Zhong Ping heard Cao Cao mentioning Liu Bei, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that his worries were completely groundless.

He secretly complained that he was always worried, as if he was "a guilty conscience".

But in front of Cao Cao, he had to be very careful.

Today, Zhong Ping was suffering from the wind and cold, and his energy was not good, and his words inevitably showed a bit of fatigue.

Although Cao Cao didn't say anything, he had a calm expression in his eyes, and guessed in his heart that it was probably because of Wu Zhi's matter.

Therefore, I didn't want to leave Zhongping in the house, so I called the housekeeper and a few servants, pointed to Zhongping and said, "My nephew is young, and I can't bear the cleanliness of the house. I want to go hunting. If anyone knows the way, I will make my nephew happy." , I shall be rewarded.”

After the butler heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Cao Cao in front of him was someone he could not afford to offend.

But in Tu County, the county magistrate has covered the sky with one hand for a long time. If he is asked to immediately eradicate his fear of the county magistrate and make his own decisions, the housekeeper will never dare.

"This……"

"Nothing is impossible!"

The county magistrate hastily opened his mouth, and interrupted the butler as he stepped forward to greet him.

He was smiling all over his face, bowing his hands to Cao Cao again and again: "Why do you need the general to speak out about this matter? It's just my duty, how dare you say it?"

The county magistrate turned his head to look at Zhongping again, and saw that Wu Zhi was still by Zhongping's side, thinking about the previous conflict with Wu Zhi over tax collection, he was unavoidably uneasy.

He didn't know in his heart that after Wu Zhi entered the county, whether those officials under him would stretch their hands on the other's younger sister?

It stands to reason that at the age of Wu Zhi's younger sister, even officials who forcibly conscript girls from good families cannot be ranked.

It's just... a letter from the county a few months ago, urging the expropriation of slaves to become more urgent. A county with a sparse population like them has become more and more difficult to complete the above orders.

It is hard to guarantee that some officials will not privately change the household registration age of Wu Zhi's younger sister in order to make up the number.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate panicked for a while.

In the past, if he knew that Wu Yulang had such good fortune, he should pay more attention to his family.

Now that the person sent to the Wu family has not replied, it is really annoying. If Wu Yulang mentions his mother and sister, how can I make it up?
"Just find a few people who know the way."

After Zhong Ping said a word, he stopped talking and just lowered his head to play with the whitebait on his waist.

Wu Zhi glared at the county magistrate bitterly, and at that glance, the magistrate's hairs rose, and he swallowed a bunch of flattering words in fright, and even forgot how to salute, and retreated obediently.

"...I see that the county magistrate's flattering attitude is even worse than yesterday."

After Zhong Ping bid farewell to Cao Cao, he still walked with Wu Zhi along the way. He couldn't refute Cao Cao's kindness, so he first went to the side corridor to find some civil servants.

Zhong Ping really doesn't know much about the reporter's office around Cao Cao.

Leaving aside three or four familiar faces, Zhong Ping picked an unremarkable one from the remaining two uncommon faces, and Quan served as his deputy.

In fact, he didn't care about whether this knife and pen official had real talents or learning-in fact, it was difficult for Cao Cao to pretend to be a number of people, except himself.

Zhong Ping just thought of Cao Hong who was with him when he went to Beihai...

The deeper the involvement, the harder it is to get out.

"What does Mr. Lang mean?"

Wu Zhi is a smart man, he obviously understood what Zhong Ping meant.

The county magistrate flattered him too much, it didn't seem to be only for Zhongping, if he wanted to please him, the look of fear in his eyes would be out of place.

At least for now, his first companion Zhong Ping's side, with the temperament of the county magistrate, at most he is afraid, or he knows that he can control his pride.

unless……

The county magistrate knew that he could not control himself, and was even afraid of his own revenge.

Wu Zhi gritted his teeth uncontrollably.

Zhong Ping felt that standing in front of him, he could faintly hear the "creak" sound of Wu Zhi's teeth rubbing against each other through the distance and skin.

"It's too early to draw conclusions..."

Zhong Ping thought about it, intending to comfort the other party.

"After we leave the city, we can go to your house to check first. If your family members are safe, I will send them to Litu County for resettlement."

"If you can't find it...you have been my secretary and an official's official, I should ask the county magistrate for an explanation for you."

In order not to let him pursue the matter, the county magistrate Chong Ping Ding would cut his tail to survive, and even if he had to bleed, he would dig deep to send Wu Zhi's family back.

Wu Zhi was silent after listening.

After a long time, Fang said: "Lang Jun is willing to be such an outstanding person, Yulang is already very grateful."

"Yulang is in the county, and he also heard that in the past few months, the number of girls in the countryside has increased suddenly..."

Wu Zhiyan said all of this, and felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

He studied serving people in Israel for a year in the county middle school, so he naturally improved his ability to observe words and expressions.

Wu Zhi stood by Zhongping's side, although he was standing there, he could figure out Cao Cao's expression and tone.

For people in high positions, even if it is nothing more than gossip, there are many people who chase after it and regard it as a standard.

But a low-level person like him...

Even with the addition of thorns and hoarseness, compared with roadside grass ash, how much more can it attract the attention of the superiors?
He was not as frank as he had shown. Regarding Zhong Ping, once he had figured out the other party's temperament at the beginning, he had a bit of intention to take advantage of him.

Could it be that he is really in Tu County, has he heard of the name of Lingjun?

There was some sarcasm in Wu Zhi's eyes.

But those thoughts have stopped at such ordinary righteous indignation and action.

Wu Zhi thought that maybe he was too paranoid and confused all the officials in the world.

But today I found out that he was indeed wrong. Compared with inflicting harm, in the eyes of more people, indifference is the norm.

If it weren't for the matter of forcing Liang to be a maidservant, there was a lot of involvement behind it, he didn't think Cao Cao would spend his energy on the march and send someone to investigate carefully.

Just like the day when the county magistrate led soldiers into his house.

How is he different from the chickens and dogs in the circle?
If one day I can ride the wind...

"The pain of losing a loved one is felt by all the villagers. Yulang does not want to ignore the pain of the whole family for the pain of one family."

"Besides, Yulang is also afraid of scaring the snakes and causing the county magistrate to get wind of it. Why don't we go to the village to observe first?"

Wu Zhi's words were full of sincerity.

Zhong Ping thought about it, and felt that what Wu Zhi said made sense. Although the possibility of the county magistrate jumping over the wall in a hurry is unlikely, if the other party is determined to...

Eh, no.

There was a sudden flash of light in Zhong Ping's mind, and a strange idea popped up.

He remembered that when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, there were nobles in Yanzhou who secretly cooperated with Lu Bu.

Calculating the time, the expropriation of women in the county intensified a few months ago.

In other words, a few months ago, the Chenliu clan suddenly needed a lot of money...

It seems that Lu Bu entered Yanzhou a few months ago.

Zhong Ping was lost in thought.

Why does he feel that there is some ambiguous connection between the two...
