The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 95 Yuan Tan goes to Yecheng

In the Governor's Mansion of Linzi City, Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan stood in the main hall, tightly holding the handwritten letter written by Yuan Shao with both hands, his two broad palms trembling back and forth, his pair of handsome eyes were full of fear and uneasiness that could not be concealed.

The content of the letter is very simple, it can even be said that it is a bit outrageously simple, because there are only six short words on it.

"Hurry back to Yecheng to see me."

The letter is very short, but the words are as heavy as a thousand catties, as if one after another huge stones are pressing on Yuan Tan's chest, making him dare not even take a breath.

Finally, it's here!
Although Yuan Tan knew that such a thing might happen from the moment he let Yuan Shang go, he didn't expect it to happen so fast, so fast that he didn't even have enough time to prepare. No.

As expected, I'm still too young.

"Father, when do you want me to go back?"

Suppressing the uneasiness in his chest as hard as he could, Yuan Tan asked the messenger who came to deliver the message with a slightly stiff smile.

The envoy's face was cold, and he didn't seem to notice the change in Yuan Tan's expression, and said slowly: "My lord has something to say, from the moment the eldest son receives this letter, you can allow one day for the son to explain the affairs of the house, and follow me immediately tomorrow morning." Set off, don't make extra stops."

So fast!
"I see."

Yuan Tan nodded solemnly, and ordered his attendants: "Please go to the post to rest the messenger first, I will explain everything about Qingzhou, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

After the envoy's back slowly disappeared from Yuan Tan's eyes, Hua Yan, who had already been on the sidelines and couldn't bear it, hurried forward and asked: "My lord, my lord is in such a hurry to ask you to go back, why is there something important? Is it possible?" yes"

Yuan Tan sighed, shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do? Naturally, I would like to ask Kong Shunzhi whether the assassination of the third younger brother has anything to do with me. Alas, I made a wrong step. I was too calm before. Such a big flaw was accidentally exposed, I am afraid that this time, my father was really angry."

When Hua Yan heard the words, he was sweating profusely: "Since the matter has come to this point, are you still planning to return to Yecheng, my lord? If things go wrong, how can my lord let you come back to take over Qingzhou again?"

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and sighed: "Of course I know what you said, but what if I don't go back? Is it possible to force my father to send soldiers to suppress me and take me back personally? There is no need to discuss this matter, there is only one way to go That's all! And if I go back and explain it face to face, there may be a chance for this matter, but if I disobey orders and disrespect, then I will really push myself to a dead end."

"The young master is going back this time, how do you plan to explain to the lord? You must have an idea in your heart, right?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, and said: "Father is a hero, he can be dismissed easily with a few words, and I don't have any safe excuses in my heart, so let's take it one step at a time."

When Hua Yan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice, and if you want to kill Yuan Shang, not only did you not kill him, but you also paid for Kong Shun, and now even the eldest son is in a dilemma, it is really exasperating.

Dead end!It's really a dead end!

Could it be that, today, there is no solution? The Qingzhou Foundation, which was created with great difficulty, is really going to be handed over like this?
People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this time, the eldest son, is he really going to sit like this and wait for death?

However, at this moment, a voice from outside the hall immediately pulled the two of them back from their thoughts.

"Sir, there is a person outside the mansion, who claims to be Mr. Xin Ping's dead man, and has come from Yecheng, holding Mr. Xin's handwriting, and wants to see you."

When the words fell, the gloomy expressions of Yuan Tan and Hua Yan suddenly brightened in the hall.

"Mr. Xin's letter? Good, good! That's great, let him in quickly!"

When I was young, I saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a coarse woven linen shirt striding into the hall.

Yuan Tan looked eager, and without waiting for the other party to greet him, he hastily stepped forward and asked, "Are you a member of Mr. Xin's sect?"

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yuan Tan to be so eager, he opened his mouth and asked him, and hurriedly replied: "Exactly!"

"Mr. Xin Zhuo, why did you come to Qingzhou?"

"The head of the family is in Yecheng, and knowing that the eldest son is in trouble, he specially ordered the villain to come and deliver it to the eldest son with a handwritten letter! The head of the family asked the villain to tell the eldest son that there is a policy written in the letter to help the son return to Yecheng. Get out of danger safely and return to Qingzhou smoothly!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Give me the handwriting quickly."

The dead man did not hesitate, and then carefully took out a roll of bamboo slips hidden deep in his chest, put his hands firmly, and presented it to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan didn't ask much, reached out to take it, and quickly opened it.

He widened his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, then saw Yuan Tan's hands suddenly "slapped" together, his face changed color, from red to white, as if he was making up his mind.

After a long time, Yuan Tan finally saw Yuan Tan sighing, and said: "Since the situation is critical, Mr. Xin's strategy should be tried! You go back and tell Mr. Xin, and say that my son is very grateful for his kindness, and if you can answer him this time With these words to resolve the crisis and return to Qingzhou safely, I, Yuan Tan, will surely repay you in the future!"

"Eldest son, don't worry, the villain will definitely bring this statement with him."

At this time, Hua Yan came over quietly, glanced at the letter, and said softly: "My lord, what is said in Mr. Xin's letter?"

Yuan Tan glanced at Hua Yan, and said indifferently: "Mr. Xin's letter is very simple, only two sentences."
Hua Yan was curious when he heard the words: "I don't know which two sentences are they?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I can't say it yet, if I can come back from Yecheng safely this time, it's not too late to tell you."

*****************
When the first ray of sunlight hit the inner room of the county government office from the window, Yuan Shang, who was dozing off on the table, was violently shaken awake.

He opened his eyes in a daze, then closed them immediately, and waved his hand impatiently, as if trying to drive away an annoying fly.

Xia Houjuan's pretty face wrinkled slightly, and then continued to push Yuan Shang vigorously. While pushing, he yelled dissatisfiedly: "Abaa, ababa, ababa!"

Yuan Shang was dizzy from being shaken, and said to Xia Houjuan inarticulately: "Go away dumb, what time is it, early in the morning, if you have nothing to do, go to the courtyard to hang your throat and play."

Xia Houjuan frowned when he heard the words, and stopped pretending: "I said the county magistrate, don't you look at what time it is? All the officials in the county government have already gone to work, and you, the county magistrate, are still here. Sleeping secretly? You are a new official, and at least you should set an example for the officials and soldiers in the city! Get up quickly, someone in the county government is beating drums, and the people who came to cast their grievances are lined up outside the government.”

Yuan Shang got up from the table in a daze, rubbed his head vigorously, and sighed: "In the past few days, I have been dealing with the official affairs accumulated by the previous county government every day. Recruitment, busy recruitment, busy taxation, there is no rest every day, and I have to take time to manage these people who come to petition and complain, but there is nothing serious about it, they are all trifles of three aunts and six wives."

Xia Houjuan covered his mouth with a soft smile, and said: "There is no way, who made the county magistrate of Wuji vacant for a long time, and the people have so many grievances that they have no place to appeal, and they happened to catch up with you. This is called fate."

Yawning, Yuan Shang shook his head and sighed while tidying up his official uniform: "This county is governed by blue sky and white sun, and the world is bright and bright. Where did all the grievances come from? I suspect that these people are simply idle and bored. They come to the county government to file lawsuits to relieve boredom. It's strange, why the people here are more idle than the other, don't they farm the land... Pass me that crown."

Xia Houjuan giggled when he heard the words, raised his hand and handed the hair crown to Yuan Shang, and said, "It's going to snow in winter, whose farmer is rushing to farm? You, the county magistrate, are really good!" Confused enough."

Yuan Shang snorted when he heard the words, and when he was young, he finished arranging his appearance, then coughed, and yelled loudly towards the door.

"Come on, get promoted! This county is going to be promoted!"
