When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 71 Fa Zheng's appearance (4k)

The scorching summer wind poured into Liu Bei's lungs, but he could not feel any warmth in his heart. Even his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were stinging from what he saw and heard on the road.

He led the army along the way, and although the people he saw were not as miserable as those in Jizhou, they were not much better off.

There were endless bandits on the road, the people looked pale, babies were crying because their mothers did not have enough milk, farmers who were working hard with hoes fainted in the fields, and old men with gray hair on their temples coughed incessantly.

Even worse than Zhuo County.

You know, Liu Bei deliberately took a long detour, and the places he passed through were supposed to be relatively prosperous areas of the Han Dynasty, but most of the villages outside the county were miserable. If the local officials had a conscience, the people could still breathe a little. If the officials colluded with the powerful, the people could only barely survive. As for those honest and capable officials, there were very few.

in particular.
As soon as Liu Bei closed his eyes, what emerged in his mind was the fear of women, farmers, and old men, who were trembling as they looked at the army behind him.

Only then did he remember that, yes, not all places were like Zhuo County, where Mi Zhu, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping provided supplies crazily without asking for money, and where the "filial piety chair" became famous so that the craftsmen had endless work to do.

Liu Bei quickly called Hua Tuo over and said, "Chief Secretary, please go and bring the doctors in the army to see them."

"Yes." Hua Tuo clasped his fists.

It didn't take long.

Hua Tuo walked to Liu Bei's side. His expression did not change much, but his eyebrows were lowered, as if he was used to these things.

Seeing Hua Tuo's expression, Liu Bei remembered that this is what a real man is like.

"Fu Jun."

Hua Tuo's gentle call brought Liu Bei's thoughts back to reality.

Liu Bei hid his sadness and asked calmly, "Chief Secretary, how are they doing? What diseases do they have? Is there any cure?"

"sick?"

When Hua Tuo heard this, he seemed to have heard a joke. He chuckled helplessly, his voice full of self-mockery, "My Lord, they are not sick. They are poor, overworked, and hungry."

"That's it."

Liu Bei's voice was very soft, as if he was reminiscing about something, which seemed to be a not-so-good memory. It made him, who was in his twenties, frown, but then he relaxed and made the decision almost in an instant.

Liu Bei said to Jian Yong: "Xianhe, please take out some of the military rations and distribute them to the people."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Hua Tuo was stunned. Although he agreed with Liu Bei's ideas and was grateful to Liu Bei for giving him an official position and the opportunity to show his talents, and he was loyal to Liu Bei, shouldn't it be a taboo to distribute food at will? If the food is distributed to the people, what will happen if the soldiers in the army are short of food? What if there is a mutiny? This is not the way to show kindness!
Even if the Lord is confused.
There is no way that Chief Clerk Jian would agree to this!

As expected, Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei deeply and said helplessly: "My Lord, why do you need to ask me for help? We have known each other since childhood, so you can just speak directly."

"what?"

Hua Tuo wondered if he had heard it wrong. No, Xianhe, are you confused too? Even I understand this, why are you
Before Hua Tuo could speak, Jian Yong rode away on his horse.

Hua Tuo could only persuade him: "My Lord, please think twice. Military rations are of great importance. This cannot solve the problem from the root. We still need..."

"Mr. Hua." Liu Bei interrupted Hua Tuo and explained, "I lost my father when I was young and lived with my mother. I have experienced the feeling of hunger. It is really too uncomfortable. I have told my comrades that I want to feed everyone in the Han Dynasty. At present, I don't have the ability. If I don't meet them, I can find excuses. But the people of the Han Dynasty are starving in front of me. How can I watch them die without helping them?"

"This"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Hua Tuo's memory seemed to go back to the time when they first met, and his eyes softened. If such words came from someone else's mouth, he would only think that the person had ulterior motives, but when they came from Liu Bei's mouth, he just felt that it should be so.

Hua Tuo smiled awkwardly and thought: It seems that this is my problem.

He looked around, and whether it was his personal guards, Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei, they all looked as they should.

Hua Tuo bowed to Liu Bei and said, "It seems that I have misunderstood you, sir."

Liu Bei helped Hua Tuo up and said, "You are joking, Chief Secretary. What's the point of joking? Do you need your help later?"

"Help?" Hua Tuo realized something. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try. "Do you need my help in distributing food? Where is it?"

"No." Liu Bei comforted, "It's to help me identify those imposters."

"promise!"

When Hua Tuo brought the news of distributing grain to the villagers, they found it unbelievable that when they encountered the imperial army, the army not only did not rob them, but even provided them with aid.

Are you really not dreaming?

Only when the corn actually fell into their hands did they come to their senses.

It’s true, it’s true!
There was an old man who wanted to kneel down before the soldiers who were delivering food, but was helped up by the soldiers with silly smiles.

In addition, the villagers felt that there was a new face among them, wearing brown clothes and with big ears, but he looked very kind and not a bad person. When he spoke, it was easy for people to think of their own brothers, making people unable to help but get close to him, especially his hands, which were obviously covered with wrinkles, but were particularly warm and cozy. The grievances in their hearts and the depression in their chest couldn't help but tremble out.

They cried about the bullies' oppression and accused the county and township officials of inaction. Especially the third son of the Xu family, who was the most inhumane. Not only did he insult the wife and children, he also kicked a three-month-old baby to death! If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I'm afraid they wouldn't have restrained themselves at all!

The villagers' words made this 'new face''s eyes burn with anger and he clenched his fists.

As luck would have it, a young man in brocade clothes strode over. He looked at a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, frowned, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

The lackey who followed him covered his swollen cheek and said incoherently, "My dear, Lang Langjun, I don't know who is distributing grain at the entrance of the village. We wanted to go and take a look, but we were dragged out and slapped. Please help us!"

"Stupid waste! You rushed here as soon as something happened. Have you figured out the details of the other party? Could it be that the noble family that can distribute food right now is trying to buy people's hearts? No, I want to go and take a look!"

The young man walked quickly to the entrance of the village and saw the man who was in charge of distributing food. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he had kind eyes and brows, like a famous official who was compassionate to the world.

He was unsure and said, "Untouchables."

He immediately shuddered. He knew that since it was the nobles who were doing good deeds, they must be after reputation. Even though he looked down on these common people, how could he scold them in public? What if he caused displeasure on the other side?

So the young man changed his address awkwardly, "My fellow countrymen, this gentleman is..."

The originally lively crowd became panicked and fearful because of the arrival of the young man. Even their hands holding the corn were shaking.

The young man was very satisfied with the villagers' reactions, but when he saw the man who was distributing the food, he was stunned. Why did the other person look so disdainful?

"I'm just a doctor." The man bowed casually, with no intention of being polite to the young man.

The young man couldn't help but get angry, doctor? Who is stupid?
Just when he wanted to speak.

A black shadow flashed in front of the young man, and a fist as big as a sabah hit him in the face, making him see stars and fall to the ground.

"Hey! Who? Boy, who are you?!"

The man snorted coldly: "It's Nai Gong!"

"Damn it! You dare to hit me? My father is the county lieutenant!" The young man gritted his teeth. 'Nai Gong' means 'I am your father'. He was so angry that his face was about to twist. However, the verbal threat had no effect. Moreover, the other party's sandbag-sized fist was about to fall. He shouted decisively: "You two, what are you still looking at? Save me!!!"

The young man's dogs reacted immediately.

He reached out his hand frantically towards the man who was holding down the young man.

However, at this moment, several angry shouts broke out among the villagers.
"You brat! Who dares to touch the Lord!!!"

The sound was as powerful as thunder, buzzing in their ears, causing the lackeys to slow down. Before they could react, they were stopped and pressed to the ground. The opponent's hand was very strong, and it hurt their shoulders. They begged for mercy again and again.

"Good man, good man, spare my life! Spare my life!!!"

The young man's face turned pale immediately. His lackeys didn't hear it, but he heard it clearly. Several people who suddenly jumped out were shouting "Lord of the Mansion".

What is the concept of Fujun?
A county governor!

He actually called a county governor a jerk.
The young man was so frightened that he swallowed his tongue, his voice trembling, "Master, I don't know your identity, is there any misunderstanding? Please spare me - Ouch"

Before the young man could finish his words, he was greeted with several punches.

The sound of fists falling and the young man's screams came one after another.

Until the young man was knocked unconscious by the man.

The villagers were so frightened that they begged, "Good man, good man, if you continue hitting me, I'm going to kill him!" Only then did the man stop.

In the county government office.

County Lieutenant Xu, who had a big belly due to lack of exercise, lay on a recliner in the sun, squinting his eyes and said comfortably: "This filial chair made by Lord Liu is really comfortable."

Zhao Zhubu laughed and said, "Xu County Magistrate, your third son is really filial. He specially asked someone to make a chair in Zhuo County and shipped it here. It is said that the craftsman who made your chair witnessed Liu Fujun making a chair for his mother. The price is so high that it makes people exclaim. I am really envious of him."

"Hahaha, my son is ignorant. My son is ignorant."

Although he said this, the corners of County Lieutenant Xu's mouth were almost raised to the sky, but suddenly he felt his heart tremble, and when he looked up again, the sun in the sky was shining brightly and dazzlingly. An ominous premonition lingered in his heart and could not be shaken off.

"what is going on???"

County Lieutenant Xu was stunned.

"Snapped"

Suddenly something was thrown in.

County Magistrate Xu and Chief Clerk Zhao were stunned. They could vaguely make out a human figure from the "object".

The two of them looked and looked again.

Zhao Zhubu swallowed his saliva, his scalp tingling, "Xu, Xu County Lieutenant, this seems to be your third son."

"boom"

The recliner was directly overturned by County Lieutenant Xu. He quickly ran to the unrecognizable Xu Sanlang, his eyes red. He hugged Xu Sanlang and cried bitterly: "My son! My son! Who tortured you into this state! I must avenge you!"

Unexpectedly, Sanlang of the Xu family used up his last bit of strength to grab the clothes of Xu County Lieutenant and said incoherently: "Father, run. Run away!"

"escape?"

County Magistrate Xu was startled and suddenly came to his senses. He understood what his son meant. Could it be that he had hit a wall this time? Otherwise, why would Sanlang say this?

Thinking of this, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

Just at this moment, a majestic voice broke in, and the sun's light became brighter at this moment.

"I hit you, why do you want to hit me back?"

The moment the sound fell.

Lieutenant Xu raised his head.

What was seen was a young man with a handsome face, rouge-colored lips, a short beard and big ears, walking through the threshold, followed closely by two burly men nine feet tall.

Wherever the three of them were, it seemed as if thousands of troops were easily defeated. Even the vicious dogs in the yard did not dare to bark, but could only keep their tails between their legs.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhubu frowned slightly and took several steps back, retreating behind the mulberry tree in the yard.

County Lieutenant Xu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He stumbled to his feet, but because of his big belly, he fell to the ground, causing an eight-foot-tall man to laugh.

"May I ask, may I ask who this hero is?"

"who?"

The leader sneered, "Xu County Lieutenant, your family is really very powerful. I didn't know it until I checked. It really blinded my eyes. Oh, you are asking about my identity, right?"

County Lieutenant Xu nodded repeatedly.

The leader grinned and said, "My mentor is the current Shangshu Lu Zhi!"

boom--

It was like a thunderbolt, and County Lieutenant Xu's hands and feet were cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He had big ears and long hands. Following the two brothers, Teacher Lu Zhi remembered it! He remembered it all!

Xu County Lieutenant shouted in surprise, "It's you! The Tiger of Youzhou! Liu Bei Liu Xuande!"

"Yes, it's me." Liu Bei nodded, "Then County Lieutenant Xu, let's go."

"Leave?" County Lieutenant Xu struggled to get up from the ground. "My Lord, is there any misunderstanding? Even if my son was wrong, he has been punished. I don't know anything about what happened at home."

"Yeah?"

Liu Bei turned around and shouted, "Xianhe."

Jian Yong walked in and threw the "evidence" he had collected in the face of County Magistrate Xu. It was a scroll of bamboo slips, which recorded all the good deeds done by their Xu family, and the deeds done by Xu Sanlang were the lightest among them.

Liu Bei had a calm expression, but his eyes were full of sarcasm. He said slowly, "Xu County Lieutenant, you still have your family. Come with me. I will recruit you as a 'county official' and accompany me to Liangzhou. Otherwise, you will be my master."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Xu Xianwei was completely dumbfounded. Liu Bei was not someone he could afford to offend. If he didn't agree to the other party, the other party's teacher would not just sit there and do nothing. Moreover, if Liu Bei was not in the emperor's favor, losing his official position would be the least of his worries. Following him would be a ray of hope.
County Magistrate Xu stood up in despair and clasped his fists: "Yes."

Even if Liu Bei didn't know what this person was thinking, he didn't kill him directly. He was just making use of the waste. Mining coal mines requires people, so why let the common people open them? He would only feel heartbroken.

Especially on this trip, he can also act as a deterrent.

If the county magistrate is not a decent person, then please come with me to Liangzhou. If you don't agree, are you afraid of my sword or my mentor?
At one point, he was even able to use the emperor's skin as a cover.

Of course, these were not all Liu Bei's ideas. Jian Yong accounted for a large part of the credit. He never expected that Jian Yong could come up with so many ideas.

For a time, all the officials in the counties and prefectures where Liu Bei went felt insecure.

Youfufeng, Mei County.

"Hey, hey, hey, Fa Zheng, what are you doing here?"

Friends from the same hometown ran to the young Fa Zheng, their faces full of curiosity.

Fa Zheng looked into the distance without looking at his companions, but still explained seriously: "I am confirming something."

"One thing? What is it? Do you need the great sage of the Legalist School to wait here?"

Fa Zheng said slowly: "I had a dream. After I woke up, my heart ached terribly. I saw a very stupid person. I went crazy to collect information about that person, but the result I got was completely different from the dream. I was very happy, but also very scared. I am very happy that he doesn't have to wander around anymore, but I am also afraid that he will no longer be himself. If he is no longer himself, this world will be completely meaningless."

The partner was dizzy after hearing this, "I don't understand what you are saying."

"If you don't understand, then just don't understand. Zhang Jun, I will always remember your kindness in saving me from the river. When I have a meal in the future, I will never give up a piece of your meat!"

After saying this, Fa Zheng added in his heart: My lord, if you are still yourself, I am willing to serve you and will never let you down!

Time passed gradually.

The waiting partners are getting impatient.

However, at this point, a team appeared at the end of the field of vision. As they got closer, the team became clearer and clearer. They looked extraordinary. Even if the other armies were not elite, they were armed soldiers. But what about them? They were dragging a bunch of ordinary people, and they also had families with them.

But the flag with Liu's name on it was so conspicuous.

The stone in Fa Zheng's heart finally fell. He laughed out loud, as if he was laughing out all his resentment and regret.

The companion was stunned: "What's wrong? Why are you laughing?"

"Why are you laughing? I'm laughing because I didn't guess wrong. I guessed right!"

"Guessed it right? Guessed what?"

Fa Zheng pretended to be profound and said: "My lord! Here he comes!"

He clenched his fists and said, "My lord, I'm here too!"
