I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 449: Taishi Ci is both wise and brave

"In my opinion, you are too generous!"

Zhang Fei didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that Taishi Ci avoided him, he became a little angry:
"No matter if he is a hermit or not, as long as you say the word, I will go and tie him up and bring him to you!"

Su Yao smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Yide."

"Given your previous actions, as long as we show our sincerity, this person will definitely come."

After Su Yao and his party left Tianjia Village, news that the county governor's office had ordered tax exemption, the reconstruction of Tianjia Village, and the recruitment of Taishi Ci quickly spread among the villagers.

The villagers admired the new lord's tolerance and respect, and were excited about the opportunities that Taishi Ci might face.

Taishi Ci stood quietly behind the tree, looking at the receding backs of Su Yao and his group, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Afternoon, Tianjia Village.

In a house next to the barn, three injured teenagers were lying or sitting. When they saw Taishi Ci coming over, one of them, with one arm wrapped in sackcloth, excitedly advised:

"Brother Ziyi, you are a hero and should not be trapped in our small village."

However, Taishi Ci sighed:
"Amin, do you know why I chose to live in seclusion here?"

"It's not because I'm greedy for comfort, but to avoid disaster."

"In this troubled world, how can it be so easy to be a hero?"

Why did Taishi Ci come to Liaodong?
This is what happened two years ago.
Taishi Ci, now twenty-three years old, was born into a poor Taishi family in Huang County, Donglai. He studied hard since childhood and was recruited by the then governor to serve as the county's historian after he came of age.

"Play Cao Shi?"

Only then did the young men realize that the big brother in front of them was so powerful and was an official in the county government.

Although Zou Cao had no specific powers, he could participate in the discussion of state affairs. More importantly, Taishi Ci was recruited immediately after he came of age. Only the extremely outstanding children of the Tian family's side branch could do this.

"Brother is so capable, how could he have offended the state government?"

The provincial capital naturally refers to the Qingzhou Provincial Government's Office.

At that time, there was a big dispute between the county government and the state government. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the lawsuit went directly to the capital.

Perhaps it is because even an honest judge cannot judge family affairs, or perhaps it is because the journey is too long and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

At this time, if neither party has much background interference, when a lawsuit is filed, it is generally more advantageous to let the official (the official in charge of punishment and reward) know the matter first.

When he learned that the governor of his province had taken the initiative and the whistleblower had already been on the way, the then Donglai prefect was horrified.

"We must not let the envoy's memorial be delivered to the capital first!"

——“So my brother was sent out to intercept?” Another injured teenager, Achang, who was lying on the bed, swallowed his saliva.

Taishi Ci nodded.

He was chosen as an envoy at that time, and he traveled day and night and arrived in Luoyang first.

But he was only one step faster, as the messenger from the provincial government had already arrived outside Luoyang City, and he had no chance to take action at all.

"Then what should we do in the end?"

The third young man was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head. He simply couldn't think of any way that Brother Taishi Ci could complete the task of the prefect.

"Could it be that Big Brother ran away to avoid disaster because he failed to complete the mission?"

——"Amao, stop talking nonsense!" Amin shouted angrily.

In his opinion, Brother Taishi Ci was a man of both wisdom and courage, and he valued his word. How could he have such an ending?

The mission must have been completed.

However, he couldn't imagine how Taishi Ci would do it.

That was the emperor's feet, who dared to act so recklessly? How could this be reversed? Taishi Ci couldn't help but chuckle.

It turned out that he really had a big hit.

On that day, Taishi Ci saw that the state official had already entered the capital and there was no chance for him to stop on the way. So he suddenly had an idea and went straight to the bus stop in front of the bus office, waiting for the state official to come to him.

The official was also visiting the capital for the first time. When he arrived at the gate of the Public Transport Office and didn't know where to submit the petition, Taishi Ci stepped forward and asked in a false tone:

"Are you here to ask for the pass as well?"

The county official was confused, but when he looked up, he saw the man had a dignified appearance and was dressed like a clerk like himself. He thought that he had also come to submit a letter, so he felt a little more friendly and agreed without hesitation.

Taishi Ci was delighted to find that he had not seen through his disguise, and immediately began to show concern for him in a tone of a senior, offering to help him find the reasons for the errors in the title of the memorial. The official was so persuaded that he happily submitted the memorial.

At this moment, Taishi Ci, who had already hidden a knife on his body, suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom and destroyed the memorial of the state official with one stroke, leaving the state official dumbfounded on the spot.

At the foot of the emperor, in front of the bus station.
How could there be such a bold and reckless person?!
"Oh my god!"

"Someone has ruined my memorial!"

The state officials were so frightened that they screamed and shouted wildly.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Taishi Ci blocked his mouth. Under the long sleeves of his robe, the handle of Taishi Ci's sword pressed against his ribs. The two of them hugged each other and staggered into a room under the surprised eyes of everyone. He persuaded them with reason and moved them with emotion:

"Don't yell, it will only hurt yourself."

"If you hadn't given me the memorial, I couldn't have damaged it."

"It is true that I did something wrong, but you also cannot escape the guilt of losing the memorial because you failed to keep it properly."

"The only solution now is for us to flee together. At least we can save our lives and avoid unnecessary torture."

The state official stamped his feet in anger when he heard this, but he could do nothing about it, knowing that Taishi Ci was right.

If I go back and the emperor blames me, even if the death penalty can be avoided, I will definitely not be able to escape the punishment of life imprisonment.

But he is no fool:

"You have destroyed my memorial for the county and have succeeded. Why do you want to flee?"

Taishi Ci listened for a moment, then sighed and waved his hand:
"I was originally sent by this county to check whether your state seal has been delivered."

"But I took it upon myself to act too aggressively, which resulted in the destruction of the official seal."

"Even if I go back now, I'm afraid I'll be condemned and punished."

"In that case, why don't we all escape together?"

The county official thought so too.

You dare to play such a big game under the feet of the emperor. Not only will you slap the face of the Luoyang prefect, but you will also offend the envoy to death. The prefect will definitely not be able to protect him.

When the state official thought of this, although he was still angry with Taishi Ci for destroying his memorial, after all, both of them were from Qingzhou, and it was better to travel the world with companions than alone.

So, before the chaos spread, the two of them quietly fled Luoyang, abandoned their mission, and stayed away from the disputes between the states and counties together.

This is what the state official originally thought.

However, what he never expected was that Taishi Ci left without saying goodbye that night, quietly returned to Luoyang City, delivered the county order, and completed his mission.

By the time the Qingzhou governor learned about this, it was already too late.

Although he sent state officials to Luoyang to submit a petition again, the officials refused to review the case because they had received the county petition first. As a result, the state officials suffered the consequences, while Taishi Ci became famous for his courage, wit and boldness.

But naturally, he became a thorn in the eyes of the Qingzhou governor, who wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Unable to avoid suffering unprovoked disaster, he took refuge in Liaodong.

Until now, Su Yao's invitation has once again put him at the crossroads of fate.
