Chapter 80 Disdain
Gongsun Yan looked at Zhao Yun seriously.
She has always been a person who knows her mistakes and can correct them, and she can save face when apologizing.
If you are wrong, you are wrong, and you should correct it.
Zhao Yun looked at her slightly pursed lips, with a serious expression, but felt a little funny in his heart.
"It is Yun's duty to protect the lady and the young master. It is unshirkable."
What Gongsun Yan carried made Zhao Yun feel hope like never before.
The hope of ending the troubled times and preventing those tragedies from happening again.
Zhao Yun has been running through troubled times and has never been so close to hope.
Therefore, he put Gongsun Yan's safety above everything else.
Higher than his personal honor, status, reputation, and life.
Whether he is a general who conquers all directions, his troops are ruthless and he dies on the battlefield.
Or you can be an unknown bodyguard and protect her.
He only looked at whether Gongsun Yan needed it, not his own wishes.
He doesn't care what his status is, whether he is respected or despised.
What Gongsun Jing said just now is meaningless to Zhao Yun.
Naturally, he will not be dissatisfied with his deliberately provocative words.
Gongsun Yan probably knew that he would answer this way, but he still felt a little emotional in his heart.
Zhao Yun is such a person, and it was not unexpected.
just.
If she didn't have those golden fingers, didn't have such specialness, and was just an ordinary girl, would he still treat her like this?
After just a rough deduction, Gongsun Yan felt a little discouraged.
If they weren't special, they wouldn't even meet at all.
There is a thousand and eight hundred years of time and space between her and him.
For a moment, Gongsun felt pretentious in his heart, but Gongsun didn't show it on his face.
Although she is not good at house fighting and playing tricks, her facial expression control is not bad.
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, she smiled appropriately.
Everyone in the field had different expressions when they heard Zhao Yun's frank statement.
Gongsun Jing glanced at his eldest son with some hatred.
Under the protection of the big tree in the Gongsun family, and with the power of his younger brother Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Jing had been living a smooth life for many years, and he could not remain calm.
There was nothing unusual on Gongsun Jing's face, and she still had a sincere smile, but her fists were clenched tightly under the sleeves of her broad robe.
Gongsun Xuan, who had always looked contemptuous and stood out from everyone, softened a little when he heard Zhao Yun's name, and looked at Zhao Yun with some interest in his eyes, but when he heard Zhao Yun's words, his face instantly darkened.
His eyes flickered back and forth between Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun several times, and he raised his slender, flying eyebrows.
Only Tian Kai sneered at Gongsun Jing without any scruples and glanced sideways at him without saying a word. His expression and posture were enough to express everything.
During this interval, the servants of the Gongsun family had already arranged the table.
Regardless of Zhao Yun's refusal, Gongsun Yan gave up her seat, moved down one seat and sat at the bottom of the table.
Everyone sat down, and Tian Kai winked at the middle-aged man who had been standing on one side.This middle-aged man is about forty years old. He is dressed as a scholar. He has a long face, narrow eyes, and a deep outline. He should be of Hu descent.
He was wearing a slightly wrinkled scribe's robe, his beard was unkempt, his eyes were all green and black, his forehead hairline had almost receded into an M shape, and his sparse hair was barely held in a small bun on the top of his head, and it was almost impossible to hold the hairpin in place.
This was the first bald man Gongsun Yan had seen in the late Han Dynasty. With the black eyes, she almost intuitively smelled the strong smell of social animals in this middle-aged man.
Although the middle-aged man described himself as a bit embarrassed, he spoke in an orderly manner and did not procrastinate.
Probably considering that Gongsun Yan was absent from the first half, he first introduced himself and then told the whole story from the beginning.
His surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Xing. He was from Youzhou. Because he was proficient in arithmetic, he stayed in Lingzhi and took care of the family business in Lingzhi's hometown for Gongsun Zan.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan glanced at Mr. Zhou Xingzhou in surprise.
Judging from his appearance, he should have Hu people's blood. With Hu people's blood, he could work as a steward under Gongsun Zan, who hated Hu people extremely, not to mention that he was in charge of Gongsun Zan's hometown.
This guy must be very talented!
Under his clear narration, Gongsun Yan understood the whole story.
It turned out that after the news of Gongsun Zan's defeat and self-immolation came to Lingzhi, Cao Cao, the governor of the prefecture, brought soldiers from the county officials' mansion to inspect the manor's treasury.
In the name of attending to the funeral of Gongsun Zan's family, most of the government treasury was moved away one after another.
If it weren't for the hundreds of retired veterans and tribesmen left by Gongsun Zan to stop him, they would even want to move away from Yinhu.
The two sides clashed several times, with casualties on both sides.
Until Tian Kai brought Xia Houlan, Zhang Ze and other two hundred white-horse followers and brought the news that the young master and the young lady were still there, the village was on the verge of collapse with people's hearts in chaos and separation.
When Tian Kai suppressed and pacified the unrest, he went to the prefect's mansion to seek justice, but he learned that the meritorious Cao Yu named Du had been beheaded for extorting bribes and colluding with the barbarians.
However, the hundreds of carts of property that this Gongcao surnamed Du moved away were nowhere to be seen.
Tian Kai was so angry that he had to bring the account books and documents to his door to ask for them.
After listening carefully, Gongsun Yan unconsciously looked at the lacquer box on Gongsun Jing's desk. The identity of the dear man inside was already revealed.
As if she was stung by Gongsun Yan's surprise, Gongsun Jing blushed and said, "This is all the fault of this corrupt official. I really don't know."
Gongsun Yan was really shocked by his shamelessness.
It is a matter of merit that the governor of the meritorious service is selected, and he has no right to mobilize the officers and soldiers of the county.
This Gong Cao Tuo surnamed Du must be doing private work for him, the prefect, so that he could get the order seal letter belonging to Bing Cao Tuo and mobilize the county officials.
But before the victim could be questioned, he had already taken the initiative and killed the subordinate who worked for him, completely placing the stigma on his subordinates.
If he wants to bite him to death at this time, this is the truth. Indeed, others can't do anything to him as a prefect. Power is truth. Black and white are not important. That dead head cannot speak.
But even though everyone knew it, he still deceived himself and others.
This kind of attitude and style of being an official and a human being is really disgusting.
You don't need to continue to listen to Gongsun Yan to know that he will definitely blame the dead man for revealing information, colluding with foreigners, and secretly concealing the secrets of Aduna's southbound interception.
Unconsciously, the previously suppressed anger surged again.
It was probably to cover up this scandal and prevent the siblings from coming back to Lingzhi that Aduna went south and the subsequent Yangqiuli massacre happened.
Such a bloody tragedy in the world, and those piles of corpses were just because of a shameful middle-aged man who thought that his concubine's younger brother had lost his heir and wanted to embezzle the family wealth.
Gongsun Yan lowered her head and gasped softly, her hands clasped on her knees trembling slightly.
Just because of this!
The anger in her chest continued to boil, and she actually felt nauseated.
