The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

On the first day of the new year, I wish you all the spirit of Longma!

——

Today's so-called "drilling" is the same as the previous two days, which is still Cuju. Xun Zhen's mind was not on this. After the two games were finished, she announced the disbandment after handing out the rewards in person. When she was about to leave, she was stopped by one person.

"Xun Jun."

"Oh?"

"Under Feng Gong,..."

"It turned out to be Feng Jun." Xun Zhen interrupted him, "I have something to do in my pavilion, so I have to go back first. Is there any urgent matter for Feng Jun?"

"...No, it's just that after Xun-Jun came, he has never seen him. It's really disrespectful, so I want to ask Xun-Jun to take the time to enjoy the noodles and drink a cup of turbid wine, as an apology for me."

"Thank you very much, I can't do it today, let's talk about it another day."

Feng Gong stood in the same place and looked at his back in a hurry, thinking: "Watching him hurry, it doesn't seem like he's refusing. 'There is something in the pavilion'? Apart from the training these days, the pavilion is calm, what will happen? ?... Could it be that a Shangguan is coming?" After guessing for a while, he couldn't figure it out, he wanted to ask the slaves who were accompanying him to inquire about one or two, but then he thought, "I came here to make amends, if I were to be asked by him, 'Misunderstanding' is 'inquiring' but it's not beautiful. Well, since he has something to do today, it will be another day."

...

Not to mention Feng Gong's thoughts, Xun Zhen, Du Mai, and Huang Zhong followed the crowd on the official road. After saying goodbye to Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing, and the rank and corps leaders of the two teams before and after, they went straight to the official road. Pavilion.

Because the rest period between the two games is relatively long, it is almost dusk at this time. In the fields on both sides of the official road, most of the peasants, Tufu, and field slaves took their jobs and returned with hoes. When they met Xunzhen and the three on the road, they all retreated and gave way. Although Xun Zhen was in a hurry to go back to see if Chen Bao and Cheng Yan had returned, she was still very polite to these farmers, smiling and returning the courtesy.

Huang Zhong pushed the cart, rushed beside him, and said, "Xunjun, I guess it's time for A Bao, A Yan, and Da Fan to come back?"

——During the exercise this morning, Xun Zhen told Huang Zhong and Du Mai about Cheng Yan and Wu Gui's report. He originally wanted to keep it a secret for Cheng Yan, but since he decided to ask Cheng Yan to bring his wife to the pavilion, he could only make it public. As for Wu Gui, when the Fan brothers called him in the morning, there was a lot of movement. Huang Zhong and Du Mai heard it and couldn't hide it, and there was nothing to hide.

These two matters are major events, one involves the Gao family and the other involves the Huang family. For Du Mai and Huang Zhong, both are objects that cannot be offended, especially the Huang family. Hearing Huang Zhong talking, Du Mai, who had been restless for a long time, hurriedly asked: "Xunjun, how credible do you think what Wu Gui said?" Compared with "Cheng Yan was forced into debt", he was more concerned about " Huang's Stealing Horse".

Xun Zhen said: "Huang Gong said it is not bad, Dafan and the others should have already returned. When they return to the pavilion and ask about the results of the investigation, don't you know? If there is really Wu Shu who is staying in the pavilion. , then this matter is five points true."

"What if there is no such person?"

Most of Xun Zhen's thoughts were on Cheng Yan, and without answering, he asked, "Does Du Jun want to have this person, or does he not want to have this person?"

"If there is such a person, as Xun Jun said, the Huang family's fear of stealing horses is true, and this is naturally a great achievement. I only worry,..."

"how?"

"The Huang family is arrogant and arrogant and leans towards this county. Even if this is true, I'm afraid we have no luck."

Seeing his worried appearance, Xun Zhen laughed and said, "Compared to the Huang family, I'm more worried about Ayan!" Yuan Wang Tingshe, "I don't know if the couple's journey is going well, have they arrived yet?"

...

Cheng Yan had already taken his wife into the house. Not only did the two of them arrive, but Chen Bao and Fan Tan also came back. Seeing Xun Zhen's return, including Fan Shang, who stayed in the pavilion, they were all discharged from the hospital to welcome him.

Cheng Yan pulled his wife, knelt down outside the courtyard door, and kowtowed, "The little husband and wife are all in the hands of Jun Xun!"

Xun Zhen lifted the two of them up and said, "Ayan, you and I have been colleagues for a long time. Since we are in the same pavilion, we should share weal and woe, so why is this!"

Cheng Yan was about to speak, but Xun Zhen stopped him and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go to the house and talk in detail." He instructed Huang Zhong to guard the door carefully, and lead the rest to the backyard, avoiding Xu Xu in the north. My mother's residence, I entered my own residence in the south, and I was seated first and second. Then I asked, "Ayan, is the road going smoothly? Have you encountered anyone from the Gao family?"

"No. I only met a few clansmen when I went out of the door, and the prison door, and asked us what we were going to do."

"How did you answer?"

"I just say go out to visit relatives."

Xun Zhen nodded. Seeing Cheng's wife bowing her head at the seat, she didn't dare to look up. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng, since you're here, you can be at ease. You don't have to be cautious. Look up, I have something to ask you."

Cheng's wife raised her head timidly. Although the etiquette at that time was far inferior to that of later generations, men and women could not help but travel in the same car, but Cheng’s wife had been alone at home since her marriage and rarely went out. She had never been in the same room with so many men in an unfamiliar place. Among them was her husband's immediate boss, and with the matter of being forced to pay debts, it was inevitable that she would be shy and afraid.

"Let me ask you, where are your parents? Who else is there?"

"My concubine's father's family is in the neighboring town of Xiali, my father and mother are there, and there is a younger brother who is thirteen years old."

"Not native?"

"no."

Xun Zhen calmed down and said to Cheng Yan, "After you left this morning, I suddenly remembered something, and I was worried that the Gao family would force your wife's parents to force your wife to surrender. ... Now that your wife is not from the hometown, Then the two of you can rest assured that I will be able to keep everything safe for you."

Xun Zhen's concern was not for nothing, but because he remembered a case from the former Han.

There was a woman in the former Han Dynasty, her husband had an enemy, and the enemy wanted to take revenge, but there was no way. Because she kidnapped her daughter's father, she wanted to use this to coerce her, so she sent news to kill her husband. This matter had a great impact at the time and was recorded in "The Legend of the Martyr". The final result is that this woman believes that if she does not listen to her, she will kill her father, which is not filial. Therefore, I decided to "take it as my own" and tell my husband's enemy that tomorrow morning, my husband will be in the East Building, and I will open the doors and windows for you. After she got home, she let her husband sleep in another room and slept in the east building by herself. In the middle of the night, the enemy really came, killed him, cut off his head and held it away. At dawn, he saw that it was the head of the enemy's wife, so he was saddened, so he let go of not killing his husband. This woman's behavior is like Xu Zhong, which can be called "odd".

Cheng Yan didn't let go of his worries because of this, but jumped in surprise and said, "What about my old mother?"

"Your elder brother is in your family, and your neighbors are all from your own clan. Even if you are the richest man in the Gao family, you will never dare to take your grandmother away. . . . Just be at ease."

Xun Zhen was reluctant to ask Chen Bao and Fan Tan's inquiries in front of Cheng Yan and his wife, because she said, "Ayan, you and your wife are in the pavilion now, and I'm afraid you won't be able to go home in a short time. Pack up a house and use it as a place to live. You two should go down first, go find a house, clean up, settle down and see me again." When Cheng Yan and his wife went out, they asked Chen Bao, "What's the result?"

"I found the guard of the Gao family and asked clearly. This fact has nothing to do with the Huang family. It was the eldest son of the Gao family who took a fancy to Mrs. Ayan because he wanted to force him." He just finished speaking when he heard someone He let out a long sigh and looked around, but it was Du Mai. In the sight of everyone, Du Mai said embarrassedly: "It's not the Huang family's intention, it's really a blessing for Ayan! The Huang family is very powerful, if it is them, I'm afraid that Yan's wife will not be guaranteed!"

Chen Bao smiled and said nothing, with a look of disdain in his eyes. He stopped looking at him, turned to Xun Zhen, and quietly waited for him to speak.

Xun Zhen asked Fan Tan again: "Da Fan, what was the result of your search?"

Fan Tan's expression was filled with disappointment and hope, and said: "There are no strangers to stay in all the li in the pavilion, but the lijianmen in Nanpingli remembers that Wu Gui did lead an outsider into the li a few days ago. middle."

Xun Zhen pondered for a moment.

Everyone could not see any change in expression on his face. Du Maiti was heartbroken and asked, "Mr. Xun?" After a while, Xun Zhen said slowly, "Since there are no outsiders staying in the various li, Wu Gui's words can be trusted at most 20%.  … Let's put the matter of horses aside and leave it alone for the time being. What do you think?"

As soon as he said it, everyone was either relaxed or disappointed. Du Mai is relieved, and Fan Tan and Fan Shang are disappointed.

Fan Shang rushed in front of Fan Tan and said anxiously: "Xun Jun! Although there is no Uncle Wu in the pavilion, but the Lijianmen in Nanping Li did see Wu Gui bring a stranger home! This shows that Wu Gui's words are wrong. It's completely false, it's very likely to be true, how can you give up and ignore it? The villain thinks that he should pursue it, even if Uncle Wu is no longer in Benting~www.novelmt.com~ But as long as he has indeed come, he won't believe it. No clue!"

Everyone has different personalities, different natures.

Du Mai was afraid of causing trouble, and even if the matter was true, he would rather Xun Zhen ignore it. Fan Tan and Fan Shang are eager to achieve fame and fame, seeing that there are meritorious achievements in sight, let alone the Huang family, even if ten Huang families are involved, they are afraid that they will be stunned, and they have the courage to investigate to the end. ——Although the three of them have different ideas, they agree on the matter of "Cheng Yan was forced into debt": they all ignore it.

Only Chen Bao knelt down on the seat and seemed to turn a deaf ear to the words of the Fan brothers, and said, "What Xunjun said is very true. Without Uncle Wu, there would be no witnesses, no witnesses, only listening to Wu Gui's one-sided remarks, rashly If you do it, you will definitely offend the Huang family. If it is normal, it will be fine. At this moment, with the troubles of the Gao family ahead, you really shouldn't make more enemies."

Xun Zhen looked at him admiringly and said to herself, "A Bao is the one who knows me."

If the Huang family really took a fancy to Cheng Yan's wife, then after knowing that there is Uncle Wu, he will definitely not give up, and will turn the pavilion upside down to seize the Huang family's handle. But now that Chen Bao has investigated it clearly, Cheng Yan has nothing to do with the Huang family. So for the time being, it seems that there is no need to pursue and fight hard, and to add an opponent out for nothing will not help solve the troubles of the Gao family.

Chen Bao asked Xun Zhen: "The matter has been investigated clearly, and the Ayan affair has nothing to do with the Huang family. Although with the protection of Xunjun, Ayan and his wife will be safe and sound in the pavilion, but it is not a problem to live for a long time. The reason why Yan and his wife were able to come to the pavilion smoothly should be because it was beyond the expectations of the Gao family. If my expectations are not bad, someone from the Gao family will definitely come within two days at most. Xun Jun, what should we do next?"

"It's better to come to the door than to wait. Didn't I tell you? I'll visit in person!"

"when?"

"Earlier rather than later. Tomorrow morning."
