"Afu, what do you think?"

While Dian Wei was arguing with Man Chong, Deng Ji, who was sitting on the other side of Cao Peng, suddenly asked.

To be honest, if it weren't for Dian Wei's factors, neither Cao Peng nor Deng Ji would be qualified to sit on the couch in this living room.

Even so, Wei Yan, Cao Ji and others could only sit in the seats near the door.

However, Cao Peng, Deng Ji and Xia Houlan are relatively in the front, and there is another reason.Xia Houlan's official position is not high, but she is also a member of Cao Jun's camp, and she is also a military lord.The official position of Marquis Jun is said to be big or small, but the status is placed there.

Cao Peng and Deng Ji, who seem to be scholars, are relatively valued by Man Chong.

If it wasn't for this reason, the two of them might have to sit in the lower position just like Cao Ji and the others.

Cao Peng is eating food with relish.Although the taste of food in this era is not as delicious as that of later generations, it has a special flavor in it.Later generations invented monosodium glutamate, so that the food seems to be full of flavor.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wealthy officials and officials mostly used broth to enhance the taste.When a big family recruits a cook, they will first ask you if you can make broth.If not, you are not qualified to be a cook.

Man Chong is the prefect of Runan County, so there is no shortage of cooks at home.

When Cao Peng heard Deng Ji's question, he put down his knife and chopsticks, and took a look like a fighting cock. You stared at me, and I stared at your Man Chong and Dian Wei, and couldn't help laughing...

"The law is nothing more than emotion and reason. Prefect Man has prefect Man's difficulties, and Uncle Dian has Uncle Dian's views. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong."

As a law enforcer in later generations, Cao Peng said this out of helplessness.

What law must be strictly enforced, and violations must be investigated... In the end, the family was ruined, and it became a mirror image.

In this world, the law is needed, but it is never possible to completely rely on the law.

Humans are selfish animals, with desires and ambitions... Even if they are law enforcement officers, can they really level the ground?Cao Peng didn't believe it.

Familiar with the Three Kingdoms, Cao Peng knows who Cao Hong is.

At the same time, he also knew the relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Cao, and later, Cao Hong's position in the Cao Wei Group.If you want to gain a foothold in the Cao Wei Group, some people must never be provoked.For example, Cao Hong, who is Cao Cao's clan brother, and is also a lifesaver.

Cao Peng also knew that Man Chong should not be underestimated.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Man Chong is not a particularly outstanding character.

Wen is not as good as people like Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and they are not as good as the five sons of good generals in leading the army.But whenever the war between Cao Wei and Wei is stalemate, Man Chong will definitely be expelled.Especially in the confrontation with Soochow, Sun Wu seems to have never taken advantage of Man Chong.Later, Man Chong also became a Taiwei and was named Jinghou.Among the Cao Wei Group, he is definitely a leader who can be ranked first, who is capable of writing and martial arts.

Therefore, whether it is Cao Hong or Man Chong, not only cannot offend them, but also try their best to establish a good relationship with them.

"Brother-in-law, I remember that you also practice the law, right?"

"Ok!"

"What would you do if you were in the position of prefect Man?"

Deng Ji resolutely said: "Lang Ling's excessive expropriation has violated the law. If he does not pursue it, the law will no longer have any deterrent effect, and it will be a disadvantage to Duke Cao."

At this time, Dian Wei and Man Chong also noticed the conversation between Cao Peng and Deng Ji.

Dian Wei suddenly smiled, and looked at Man Chong, as if to say: You guys have become less courageous, you can't even compare to a white body.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ji said again: "Although the admonishing doctor recommended Lang Lingchang, he has nothing to do with Lang Ling. In private, the admonishing doctor, as the younger brother of Duke Cao, represents the face of Duke Cao. Man the prefect Earlier in Xudu, he had cut the face of admonishing the doctor. If he made another move, he would definitely be dissatisfied by Duke Cao's clan. If so, prefect Man would be in a difficult situation, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Xudu.

Yu Gong, admonishing the doctor to station troops in Ye County, has a heavy responsibility.

What Lang Ling did did not have much to do with admonishing the doctor.That being the case, why bother to involve the admonishing doctor?After all, Duke Cao will conquer Zhang Xiu again sooner or later.If the admonishing doctor is involved at this time, I'm afraid it will destroy the arrangement of the lord in Nanyang County. "

Still the same sentence, the law is nothing but emotion and reason.

Deng Ji's words touched Man Chong's heart, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"What's your name?"

Man Chong asked suddenly.

Deng Ji stood up quickly, but his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he said seriously: "Student Deng Ji, was originally the Zuoshi of Jiyang County. Because he offended the dignitaries of Jingxiang, he had to flee with his family... Fortunately, Uncle Dian helped, so Only then will I go to Xudu to resettle my family business."

"Offended the rich family? Which rich family?"

"Jiangxia Huang's family..."

A smile appeared on Man Chong's face.

He didn't like the aristocratic family, and he valued a humble scholar like Deng Ji more.

"Deng Ji, let me ask you!" Man Chong hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If you were to deal with this matter, where would you start?"

"Just ask the prisoner, why do you need to be held accountable?"

"Uh?"

"Langling Chang Chengyao was originally the county magistrate of Wuyin County. When he was in Wuyin, he was known for being greedy and despicable. He almost monopolized the trade routes of Zhongyang Mountain, causing his brothers to act recklessly, and the people complained... Now in Langling, everything he does is his own idea. Cheng Yao is not an ignorant child, so he must bear the responsibility for whatever he does, which is only right and proper.

If the students deal with this matter, they should take the head of Cheng Yao... and then play down the crime of privately setting up checkpoints in the name of not being good at defending the soil.In this way, the common people can be clear about the world, and the laws of our great Han can be taken seriously, without involving the admonishing doctor, so that they can sit in Ye County with peace of mind and serve the Lord.In short, Cheng Yao must be punished, but not necessarily in the name of privately setting up checkpoints. "

People need to be flexible.

Those who are capable but not flexible may not be really capable.

People who have no skills but know how to adapt can travel thousands of miles and sail smoothly.

In his previous life, Cao Peng was a person who could not be flexible, so he attached great importance to this flexible way.

Dian Wei wanted to kill Cheng Yao, not necessarily because he really wanted to offend Cao Hong; but Man Chong didn't want to punish Cheng Yao, but he was worried that Cao Hong would be implicated.

"Deng Ji, if I leave this matter to you to handle, will you be able to do it properly?"

Deng Ji was taken aback, and just about to refuse, he felt that Cao Peng beside him pulled him.Looking down, Cao Peng nodded towards him.

"Take Cheng Yao's head, for students, it's like picking something out of a pocket.

If the prefect wants to hand over this matter to the students, he will offer Cheng Yao's head within three days. "

"Can I send troops to help?"

"Prefect Man, if you send troops, I'm afraid you will scare the snakes. Langling's position is important, if Cheng Yao gets wind of it, it will definitely make a big fuss. Students don't need a prefect to pay for a soldier, but I hope the prefect will have the right to dispose of the students. It must be done properly.”

Full of love, smile!
"In that case, I grant you the right to make the decision!"

Dian Wei frowned upon hearing this.

"Bo Ning, do you want me to stay here for three days?"

Man Chong smiled and said: "I know that you care about the lord, and I'm afraid you may not be willing to stay here. If you want to return, just go... I have ordered people to rush to Xudu, and it will not be long before the lord will I will be very happy to hear that you are alive."

Dian Wei got up, looked at Deng Ji, then at Cao Peng.

"My uncle and grandson want to stay and help Bo Ning, I won't stop...but I want to return to Xudu as soon as possible, Fu, what are your plans?"

Cao Peng glanced at Deng Ji, smiled and said, "Of course I will go to Xudu with my uncle."

"If so, rest overnight and leave early tomorrow morning."

The reason why Cao Peng pushed Deng Ji out was not a sudden rise.Deng Ji's foothold is still in Xudu.But in Xudu, Deng Ji may not be recognized by Dianwei alone.Therefore, if Deng Ji is to be promoted, a more powerful figure is needed.

This strength does not mean force.

Deng Ji took the line of civil servants, and also revised the criminal law of the Han Dynasty.

Although Dian Wei was loved by Cao Cao, he was a pure general after all.If it is about force, Cao Cao may believe in Dian Wei's vision.But if it is about governing the world and officials, Cao Cao will definitely not listen to Dian Wei's words... At this time, he needs someone who can speak.Although Man Chong is not the top civil servant in the Cao Wei Group, he has enough voice in the Cao Wei Group.

For Cao Peng, this is enough!
Deng Ji stayed to deal with Cheng Yao's affairs, just to show his talent to Man Chong.

When the time comes, it will be logical for Man Chong to recommend Deng Ji to Cao Cao... This recommender is very important.

Man Chong also stood up and ordered people to go down to arrange the residence of Cao Ji and others.

Seeing that Man Chong was about to leave, Cao Peng stood up first and blocked Man Chong's way.

"Prefect Man!"

Man Chong was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, "Little friend, what's the matter?"

On the other side, Dian Wei also looked at Cao Peng curiously.

Cao Peng said: "Students have heard that the prefect Man Man is upright, loyal and brave, and capable of writing and martial arts. Runan County is an important place in Yuzhou, and its significance to Duke Cao is self-evident. The prefect Man is outstanding, but after all, this person's strength, Very limited. There is an old proverb in the hometown of students: one fence has three stakes, and one hero has three gangs... So the students have the courage to recommend a man for the prefect Man. This man is outstanding in martial arts, and he is familiar with the art of war. He came from a poor family, and he has never been reused in Jingxiang... This time, he was also persecuted by the Huang family in Jiangxia, and he went to Duke Cao with his students. When the students saw the prefect, they wanted to rectify the administration of officials and practice soldiers and horses. Too much hard work. The prefect is Cao Gong's confidant and important minister, and he needs to take care of his health... If Wei Yan can be supported by the prefect, he will be able to share the prefect's worries."

I have seen bold people, but I have never seen Cao Peng so bold, openly recommending his own people to Man Chong, it seems a bit like a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives.

If it's another person, the boss's slap in the face may be over.

But Man Chong is still very curious about Cao Peng.

Not only because Cao Peng is Dian Wei's savior, but also because of Deng Ji and Cao Peng's unique and unique temperament.

"Wei Yan?"

Man Chong looked at Dian Wei suspiciously, as if asking: How is this person?
But Dian Wei frowned... looked at Man Chong, then at Cao Peng.He hesitated for a moment, but nodded!
