Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

But it didn't take long for such people to become less and less.

Or they said they couldn't get sick, or simply the whole family had an accident, and it wasn't long before they were divided up by the rest of the family...

Zhou Xin naturally knew what was going on.

……

It's just that he didn't care.

Because he didn't have that ability, and he was from a family, which made him unwilling to break the relationship with the local family.

Because once that happens, there will be all kinds of problems waiting for me...

……

But thinking about it now, Danyang has become like this, so why doesn't he have his own responsibility?

Sometimes, condoning or turning a blind eye is itself a kind of alternative support...

In Zhou Xin's eyes, Danyang's current situation can be regarded as his own fault.

If he hadn't been so timid and scrupled about this and that at the beginning, maybe the county would not be so dilapidated now, being at the mercy of Shanyue.

……

Unfortunately, history has no ifs.

……

Looking up at everyone, the last gleam of light in Zhou Xin's eyes gradually went out.

Now that the matter has come to this point, what he needs to do as the prefect of Danyang is to be responsible for what he has done, nothing more.

……

"Okay, since everyone has said so, then you all go home and gather some more food to see how much you can gather."

"I'll write a letter to a few nearby colleagues later, to see if I can borrow some food back."

Sighing softly, Zhou Xin suddenly had no intention of wasting any more time with these people.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Now Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, has sent his troops to the door of Shanyue's house. These people don't want to resist, but they are only thinking about supporting the enemy...

They are rotten.

Totally rotten, with no hope of ever getting better.

……

"By the way, prefect, I heard that several merchants in Wujun have a lot of food recently. If they can't borrow it, it's better to use the money in the treasury to buy some from them."

"Although food prices have risen a little recently, it is already very difficult to get some food!"

……

Perhaps it was because Zhou Xin took the initiative to speak, which eased the situation a lot.

And a few people who had been hiding in the corner and kept silent before, gradually jumped out.

Just their advice...

Just hearing it, Zhou Xin frowned subconsciously.

……

Naturally, he had thought about buying grain from merchants.

It's just that recently, the Wu County merchants who are doing business in Danyang, the price of grain in their hands has soared outrageously, and it's not as simple as what the other party said has increased a little.

You know, this is autumn!

In the golden autumn season, it is the time when the grain has just entered the warehouse.

The food price at this time should have been lower than usual.

I just don’t know why, but the price of food in Wu County has skyrocketed like a crazy eye. In addition, the land of Danyang is surrounded by mountains and mountains. Only Wu County businessmen dare to risk their lives to do business here...

……

Wait, only Wujun merchants dare to come here to do business?

……

Zhou Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Originally, he hadn't paid attention to the soaring food price, and only thought that there was a famine recently, which led to such a result.

It's just being mentioned by this person now...

He suddenly thought of a recent rumor.

……

When she looked up at the crowd again, Zhou Xin's face was covered with a kind smile like a signboard again.

……

"Well, I will contact these merchants myself."

"If you have any connections, please let me know. This matter is of great importance, and the lives of [-] people in Wanling are at stake. Please don't hide your secrets."

……

Perhaps in the eyes of these clan elders, Zhou Xin is still the same Zhou Xin, and there hasn't been much change.

It's just that in the deepest part of Zhou Xin's eyes, when he looked at the most active guys, there was already a bit of a bone-chilling chill.

Chapter 22 Violating the Decision of the Ancestors

"How about it, Uncle Clan, have you made a decision?"

……

After a while, everyone had dispersed, and Zhou Xin also returned to his inner room from the previous hall.

Well, the inner room in the literal sense is just inside the lobby, just separated by a wall.

In other words, what happened in the lobby just now, what movement happened, can be heard clearly in this inner room.

……

At this moment, in this small room that theoretically only Zhou Xin's family members can enter, besides this little old man, there is another unobtrusive young man in a gray cloth robe sitting on his knees. Near the table on the side, it was obvious that Zhou Xin had been waiting for a long time.

……

"Hey, Fan'er, you said that the gap between people is really that huge?"

"Even if they are bullied like that, even if your Lujiang army is about to hit Shanyue's hometown, are they still unwilling to stand up and resist?"

It seemed that Zhou Xin was too disappointed with the performance of these family elders, and Zhou Xin was sighing at the moment, and even the wrinkles on his face were much more than before.

……

"Hehe, look at what you said..."

"How is the gap between people, I don't dare to comment more."

"But how are these people doing? Uncle Clan, you are at the front, you should see it more clearly than me, right?"

Laughing wantonly, the young man called "Fan'er" pursed his lips, his eyes full of shrewdness.

……

As early as a few days ago, Zhou Fan, as the envoy of Yang Feng, the commander of the Lujiang Second Army Ma Si, quietly entered Wanling City in the name of visiting relatives.

At the same time, he also brought a message to Zhou Xin, the spokesperson of Wanling City.

That is, Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang River, came out with three armies, not to mention the momentum, but like chopping melons and vegetables, he easily conquered several fortified cities in Shanyue, and even killed and captured more than ten thousand thieves. Not a small victory has been achieved.

Before that, Zhou Xin had already received notifications from Peng Shi and Zu Lang, so he already knew about the war between Lujiang and Shanyue.

Only this time, through Zhou Fan's mouth, he knew that this war was not caused by Zhang Yan's brains, and he ran across the border to suppress bandits in his Danyang territory.

While he was still struggling with the bandits in the territory, Shanyue had already captured the little prince of the current Han court royal family, and imprisoned him in the Shanyue Camp in Jing County, Danyang...

……

Maybe it's because Danyang's news is too closed...or maybe it's because of the influence of Shanyue, the entire Jiangdong area seems to be a bit out of place with the Central Plains.

It wasn't until seeing Zhou Fan that day that Zhou Xin knew that so many great things had happened to the big man in the past few years.

He had heard about Luoyang's power overthrow through Zhou Yi, his cousin in the family, but this little prince was exiled under his rule, and was even taken away by thieves...

This... this is not bad! ?

……

As the old saying goes, the master humiliates his ministers to death, and the master worries his ministers to death.

As a courtier of a big man, what Zhou Xin is facing now is not that the master's worries cannot be resolved, but that the real master has been humiliated, but there is nothing he can do!

According to the law of etiquette, the meaning of his existence as a courtier is to guard the place for the emperor, but now he has made it like this...

If this was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the etiquette was strict, it would be a major event for him to commit suicide to preserve his reputation.

Facing the news that Zhou Fan brought to him, Danyang prefect Zhou Xin was shocked at first, and then a strong sense of powerlessness surged up.

……

Zhou Fan.Zhou Xin remembered this person.

This is the nephew of his Zhou family, and also the child of his brother Zhou Shang.

He can't lie to himself.

Both of them are members of the Zhou family. If the other party told me that the prefect of Lujiang was calling, it must have been called.

The other party said that Lujiang can destroy Shanyue, that is, it can really destroy Shanyue.

Because Zhou Xin knew that what the other party said not only represented his own attitude, but also represented the judgment of the entire Lujiang Zhou family.

It was also on the day when he got the news that Zhou Xin came up with the idea that the time for the entire Danyang to completely smash Shanyue and become the master may really be coming.
